Warnings to Brazil and Their Implications

On Jan 10 2023, Quadrand Magazine published an article by Dr. Augusto Zimmermann titled How They Count Votes in Brazil.  It's a shocking piece that reveals the corruption of Brazilian judges, the Brazilian media and more.  The most shocking information was a paragraph about U.S. interference in the Brazilian election that raises alarming questions.  Here is the paragraph

In August 2021, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan visited Brazil to issue the following warning to the Brazilian president: do not even dare to question the reliability of your country’s electronic voting system.  A month earlier, in July 2021, the newly installed Biden sent his CIA director, William Burns, to travel to the country to meet with senior Brazilian officials. During that meeting, the U.S. delegation warned the Brazilian government that President Bolsonaro “should stop casting doubt in his country’s [entirely electronic] electoral process”.   Next, at the June 2022 Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles, the Biden administration notoriously repeated the same warning that the U.S. government would not tolerate Bolsonaro casting any doubt on the reliability and security of the nation’s voting machines.  Since these messages came before the outcome of the election, this was a clear warning of dire consequences should the Brazilian president contest the alleged fairness and transparency of the electoral process....

Additionally, the US Senate unanimously approved a resolution recommending the suspension of US-Brazil relations if there is any questioning of the security and transparency of electronic voting in Brazil, “otherwise the resolution states that the U.S. must consider its relations with the Brazilian government and suspend cooperation programs, including in the military area”.[71] 

These threats raise some disturbing questions about the Biden administration and the U.S. senate.

Question 1: Why did the Biden administration try to control what the Brazilian president said?  Didn't the Biden administration believe in free speech? 

Question 2: Why did the Biden administration warn the Brazilian president to not even question the reliability of the electronic voting system?  Why did the Biden administration go so far as sending William Burns and a U.S. delegation to warn the Brazilian government that President Bolsonaro "should stop casting doubt on his country's electoral process?"  There is no way Biden could have known that the electronic voting system was reliable, electronic voting systems are much more vulnerable than signed in person paper ballots to fraud.

Question 3: Why didn't the Biden administration that claimed to be for democracy, just call up Bolsonaro to express his concerns instead of sending people to Brazil to warn the government to shut up Bolsonaro?

Here are some possible answers.

a) President Biden was very against Bolsonaro being reelected president of Brazil.  President Bolsonaro was known as the "Trump of the Tropics" and Biden hates Trump and everything he stands for. 

b) Biden might have been concerned that Bolsonaro's supporters might discover election fraud and that might result in Bolsonaro being relected president.

c) Biden may have been afraid that if the Brazilians would uncover evidence of fraud in the Brazilian election that would increase the suspicion that fraud took place in Biden's election.   Discovery of problems with Brazilian voting machines would increase concern that there were problems with American voting machines as well. 

d) China wanted Lula to win the Brazilian election and China has a lot of influence over Joe Biden.  China has made large donations to the Biden center at the University of Pennsylvania and and large donations to Joe Biden's son, Hunter.  Angering China could have stopped the flow of Chinese money to the Biden family.  It could also result in China exposing their financial donations to the Biden family.

Many Bolsonaro supporters including Tucker Carlson are convinced that the election is Brazil was rigged.  There is evidence that not only was Biden's election rigged but it was fraudulent as well
