Ok, I might have something. Been Brazil digging.

Pence was in Brasilia yesterday.
-
There was a pair of fringe online news articles in Portuguese showing photos of the Rio Paulo (Paul river) in the city of Getulio Vargas in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The river/creek was blood red, randomly, but has supposedly gone back to normal: muddy.
-
Vargas was a the leader of Brazil as president, dictator, and again as president for many years before during and after WWII.
-
I think there is lots of symbolism to be looked at in that article. Vargas "committed suicide" in 1954 and that is widely believed to be true, but that might need to be reevaluated…we can come back to that later.
-
In a related, but different note…and for some other reasons, partially due to some of the ideas in the Q Brazil thread, I started looking at Osvaldo Aranha, foreign minister during Vargas' time.

This article credits him as "the Brazilian behind the creation of the state of Israel." He was "considered fundamental behind the decision of the UN…" As an aside, I am vaguely aware, through hearsay, that some remote area in northern Brazil was being considered as a potential piece of land…but, obviously, they wanted Palestine.

Follow the blood. His daughter Delminda married a Brazilian Ambassador, Antonio Correia do Lago. He was the Ambassador to the Holy See! They had 5 children. One of whom I still need to identify and trace because of different information…but another who is famous as the historian and curator and president of the Brazilian National Library, Pedro Corrêa do Lago.

What gets interesting is that he is the owner of the largest private collection of autograph letters and manuscripts in the world today! And for the first time ever, a select number of those letters are going on display at the Morgan Museum in New York this month until September.
PORTUGUESE-SPEAKING NEW YORK ANONS, GET OVER THERE! SOMETHING IS BEING REVEALED IN THOSE LETTERS. The great majority of those letters are from the 50's. What's in them???
