For months now I've been a little confused by the overwhelmingly negative coverage that the Brazil Olympics are receiving from the mainstream media.
Yes, Brazil is a developing country, yes, Brazil can be dangerous -- but the level to which this is being played up currently doesn't fit the media's usual pattern or narrative.
Most of you are probably already familiar with the mainstream media's typical narrative, but let's just do a quick recap of some of their pet topics:
- Globalism
- Multiculturalism
- Cultural relativism
- Criticizing "Mexicans", illegal immigrants, crime in Latin America, etc. is racist
- Criticizing Arabs and Muslims is racist, and there is nothing wrong whatsoever with the predominant culture in Arab and Muslim countries
- Terrorism is not a real threat
Does the current Brazil coverage fit this narrative? Not really.
"But there are real problems in Brazil!"
Yes, and there are even realer problems in neighboring Venezuela, a situation the mainstream media refuses to even talk about.
Yet "Brazil is a shithole" has been balls to the wall for months and is now reaching a fever pitch.
Remember, Brazil just hosted a World Cup two years ago, and it didn't receive nearly the same coverage as the Olympics are. And there weren't any significant problems during the World Cup.
Also consider that there are no statistics that show any real increase in violent crime in Brazil between 2014 and 2016 -- at least I can't find any.
If you look at any of the "violence is increasing" in Brazil stories, it's always about one or two people getting robbed or killed. But there is never a "murders have risen by x number or x% since 20xx".
But in fact, there is evidence that murder rates were increasing leading into the 2014 games. This suggests to me that there isn't any real data behind these stories, which is why they stick to anecdotal evidence.
To be clear, I'm not claiming that there are no legitimate criticisms for letting Brazil host the Olympics.
But we know that the media pushes an agenda and covers up stories that don't fit that agenda. And it's my opinion that there's a clear agenda at play here in both the nature and level of coverage.
Consider some of the recent stories, where the media is really starting to push this thing hard -- and really showing their bias, from my perspective.
The Australian Olympians reportedly "refused" to stay in their prepared arrangements -- because apparently the toilets are clogged, wiring's exposed, and the stairwells are too dark.
Now many of the guys on this forum have visited developing countries. How many times have you stayed in a high-end condo that didn't have properly working plumbing and electricity?
The idea that Brazilians (or whoever they hire to build the many condos and resorts in their country) don't know how to install a working toilet is just crazy to me, along with the suggestion that Olympic athletes are going to be mugged in the dark stairwell of their Olympic compound, which was built specifically for the athletes and who are the only ones staying there.
Are there going to be random muggers loitering in this high-end facility, which will be secured by dozens of armed guards?
Sure, the place could be at risk of a terrorist attack, and obviously there is danger present on the streets of Brazil, but no one is going to be randomly murdered inside the Olympic facility. It's absurd.
Or the story about the Chinese Olympians afraid of catching diseases. That's the same China which is one of the most polluted countries in the world, where people spit and piss and smoke cigarettes everywhere, and where there are more people living in extreme poverty than the entire population of Brazil.
Sure, Asian broads can be completely illogical, I'm not denying that. The point is that these are the stories that the media is choosing to cover.
And they're publishing them by the dozen, meanwhile they cover up REAL stories, like little girls being raped by immigrants in Idaho or the huge numbers of crimes committed by the "refugees" in Europe.
There's clearly an agenda being pushed here. But what is it? And why?
That's what I haven't completely figured out yet. But I've come across a few interesting things surrounding Brazil in recent months.
- The current president, who's not only the first female president but was literally a Marxist militant guerilla in her younger years, is in the process of being impeached and the VP is serving as the acting president.
We know that the media loves their socialists, as we see with the aforementioned lack of coverage of Venezuela. And the negative media coverage of the Olympics does roughly coincide with when the controversy began and proceedings started.
Could this be an attempt to obscure or diminish her legal difficulties?
- Brazil bought training, equipment, and security from American (specifically Blackwater) and Israeli security firms for the 2014 World Cup.
In October 2014, Brazil signed a $2.2 billion contract with one of these Israeli firms to provide security for the Olympics. But Brazil canceled the entire contract in January of this year.
A couple weeks before, they rejected Israel's appointment of a new ambassador in Brazil. And as far as I know, that seat's still vacant to this day.
Now I'm not usually one to push (((Jewish))) conspiracies, but it's hard to believe that a largely Israeli-influenced media coincidentally started slamming Brazil as soon as the two countries began having both diplomatic and business disputes.
