The failed coup in Brazil is the latest CIA stunt, just as the country is forging stronger ties with the east

A former US intelligence official has confirmed that the shambolic Maidan remix staged in Brasilia on 8 January was a CIA operation, and linked it to the recent attempts at color revolution in Iran.

On Sunday, alleged supporters of former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro stormed Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court, and presidential palace, bypassing flimsy security barricades, climbing on roofs, smashing windows, destroying public property including precious paintings, while calling for a military coup as part of a regime change scheme targeting elected President Luis Inacio "Lula" da Silva.

According to the US source, the reason for staging the operation - which bears visible signs of hasty planning - now, is that Brazil is set to reassert itself in global geopolitics alongside fellow BRICS states Russia, India, and China.
