Instituto Brasileiro De Ação Democrática
The Instituto Brasileiro de Ação Democrática (''Brazilian Institute for Democratic Action'') or IBAD, founded in May 1959 by Ivan Hasslocher, was one of two Brazilian conservative think tanks (the other was the IPES) established in order to prevent what was seen as the advance of communism in Brazil. It arose as a reaction to the government of Juscelino Kubitschek, regarded as populist and lenient on fighting inflation, and intensified its action in João Goulart's administration, with campaigns of anti-communist content on the radio, television and newspapers. The IBAD had its own advertising agency, the Incrementadora de Vendas Promotion, and created a political movement called the ''Ação Democrática Popular'' (Popular Democratic Action or ADEP), explicitly geared towards raising money and promoting anti-communist candidates, particularly during the electoral campaign of 1962 to the Brazilian legislature. The overt involvement of IBAD and ADEP in the 1962 campaig ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Covert United States Foreign Regime Change Actions
The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was created on September 18, 1947, when Harry S. Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947 into law. A major impetus that has been cited over the years for the creation of the CIA was the unforeseen attack on Pearl Harbor, but whatever Pearl Harbor's role, in the twilight of World War II it was considered clear in government circles that there was a need for a group to coordinate government intelligence efforts, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the State Department, and the War Department, and even the Post Office were all jockeying for that new power. General William "Wild Bill" Donovan, head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt on November 18, 1944, stating the need for a peacetime "Central Intelligence Service ... which will procure intelligence both by overt and covert methods and will at the same time provide intelligence guidance, determine national i ...

O Globo
''O Globo'' (, ''The Globe'') is a Brazilian newspaper based in Rio de Janeiro. ''O Globo'' is the most prominent print publication in the Grupo Globo media conglomerate. Founded by journalist Irineu Marinho, owner of ''A Noite'', it was originally intended as a morning daily to extend the newspaper interests of the company.

Carioca
Carioca ( or ) is a demonym used to refer to anything related to the City of Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil. The original meaning of the term is controversial, maybe from Tupi language "''kari' oka''", meaning "white house" as the whitewashed stone houses of European settlers or even the colonists themselves, by merging "''kara'iwa''" (white man) and "''oka''" (house). Currently, the more accepted origin in academia is the meaning derived from "''kariîó oka''", which comes from the indigenous tupi "house of carijó", which was Guaraní, a native tribe of Rio de Janeiro who lived in the vicinity of the Carioca River, between the neighborhoods of ''Glória'' and ''Flamengo''. Like other Brazilians, ''cariocas'' speak Portuguese. The ''carioca'' accent and sociolect (also simply called "''carioca''", see below) are one of the most widely recognized in Brazil, in part because TV Globo, the second-largest television network in the world, is headquartered in Rio de Janeiro.

Anti-Communism
Anti-communism is political and ideological opposition to communism. Organized anti-communism developed after the 1917 October Revolution in the Russian Empire, and it reached global dimensions during the Cold War, when the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in an intense rivalry. Anti-communism has been an element of movements which hold many different political positions, including conservatism, fascism, liberalism, nationalism, social democracy, libertarianism, or the anti-Stalinist left. Anti-communism has also been expressed in philosophy, by several religious groups, and in literature. Some well-known proponents of anti-communism are former communists.
