Laigle’s Forum

I recently received a kind email from Olavo de Carvalho, the dissident writer from Brazil who has taken refuge here due to the deteriorating situation in South America.
Laigle’s Forum has run two of Mr. de Carvalho’s articles in previous columns:

http://laiglesforum.com/2006/06/27/behind-the-subsersion.aspx

The second of the above links provides insight into the Council on Foreign Relations, the sinister group behind our open-border policies and our move toward a North American Union.
Below is the email, posted with Mr. de Carvalho’s permission:

Dear Don,
 
Thank you for your kind efforts to spread my warnings. Having now spent two years in this generous country and having studied very carefully the influence of the American press over the formulation of the American foreign policy from the Vietnam war to our days, I cannot avoid the conclusion that the American big media establishment is a criminal organization dedicated to dupe the American people, to destroy the country and to promote the glory of its enemies. Now I love the U. S. as I love my own country, and I feel my heart oppressed under the weight of gloom and sadness when I see so many powerful people enriched by the American system, protected by American liberties, doing their best to destroy a treasure gathered at the cost of so much suffering, pain and toil to several generations of good men and women. I really don’t understand why American patriots limit themselves to protest occasionally against those mischievous people instead of taking them to the courts and making they pay for their heinous crimes.
 
Best wishes,
 
Olavo de Carvalho

I asked Olavo whether I could run this brief email at Laigle’s Forum and he responded:

Dear Don,
 
Please do it. I am really worried about America’s future. I saw what the alliance of communists and false conservatives did to Brazil. I would hate to see the same thing happen here.
 
Best wishes,
 
Olavo

Dear Reader,
It is my sincerest hope that you will come to love Olavo de Carvalho as he has loved you and your country and welcome him.
Olavo is a brilliant and masterful writer and public speaker and reminds me so much of Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, and by that I mean the historian and political activist Solzhenitsyn who is still virtually unknown because we have ignored him too. I implore you to listen to Olavo and take him very seriously. He cares passionately about the United States, more than many of us care about us.
A syndicated writer appearing in various mainstream Brazilian newspapers, he had done everything in his power to warn of the impending debacle in Brazil, but to no avail.
Now he is here and is attempting to play the Catcher in the Rye in his adopted country as well, this last best hope of mankind on earth.
I believe I know exactly how he feels, because I sense that 12 o’clock is quickly approaching here as well and so much remains to be done. Yet for many, it is mardi gras today, but tomorrow, perhaps slavery for all.
Imagine if Ted Kennedy and Nancy Pelosi were given unlimited power here. That is comparable to the situation in Brazil today. Far-left President Lula has almost total power over the press, the legislature and the military. He has tacitly approved the presence of the FARC in that country and treats these narco-terrorists, enemies of freedom, as friends and allies. Hugo Chavez is also one of his closest allies.
For the most part, the cowed Brazilian press no longer dares to print Olavo de Carvalho’s columns.
A few years ago, this dreadful situation was unthinkable.
But Brazil ignored Olavo’s wise admonitions and partied on. So did most of the rest of South America.  And so one day, the lights went out.
Let us do everything in our power to avoid making the same mistake here. If we take that misstep, I believe Reagan’s prophetic words will come true and we will take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.
God grant us wisdom!
