Editor’s Note: This part 1 of Escape From Brazil: Spooks In The Grass. Thank you for your investment in the truth and status as a premium member of the Addy Adds Substack.

Set against the backdrop of the contentious 2022 Brazilian presidential election, Addy's journey unfolds amidst the maneuvers of global power, political chess moves, and unreliable and backstabbing allies.

When his publisher shrugged off threats from CIA agents with a casual 'Not my problem,' Addy Adds, an independent journalist of 27, is unwittingly thrusted into a dangerous game of espionage. Dispatched to Brazil to cover post-election unrest, he became the target of a meticulously planned intelligence operation.

The 2022 presidential election in Brazil attracted international interest, and the Biden Administration was actively involved in Brazil both in the period of time leading up to the election and afterwards through the FBI, the CIA, and the U.S. State Department. This included personal trips made to Brazil by National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns.

A tale stranger than fiction which includes Big Conservative Incorporated (Big Con. Inc.) actors James O'Keefe, Matthew Tyrmand, Project Veritas, Emerald Robinson, Steve Bannon, and Tucker Carlson, Escape From Brazil is a landmark achievement in independent journalism, as the author is the youngest (and only) independent journalist to be the target of an in-field recruitment attempt by the CIA.
