Glenn Greenwald Rants About Brazil's Alexandre De Moraes' Authoritarian Censorship Regime Citing The New York Times
"The Brazilian left hated him until he took on the role of chief censor and began censoring, apparently, almost everybody who the Brazilian left regarded as their enemy."
"Especially, Bolsanaro supporters. Including ordering members of Congress arrested and journalists having their homes searched and seized, and now he's a hero to the Brazilian left."
"If you question this judge, you will be called a defender of fascism even though what this judge is most known for is this very extreme censorship regime that was even a bridge too far for the New York Times."
"Mr. Moraes has jailed five people without a trial for posts on social media that he said attacked Brazil's institutions. He didn't order them censored. He ordered them jailed with no trial."
"The only time in my entire career as a journalist that I have ever wondered if I should really be questioning, challenging, or critiquing a political official is this person, who has gone so far as to order people to be imprisoned without a trial for criticizing him."
"If you criticize Alexandre De Moraes, you get banned or perhaps imprisoned, which is why I spent every second up until this show started on the phone with my lawyers."
"Alexandre De Moraes is the target of people's criticism, so in his view, he's the victim of people's illegal speech. He then initiates his own legal process to get these people arrested or censored, and then he sits as the judge in his own case—a case that he himself initiated. A case that he considers himself the victim. Then, he judges these people guilty and orders them to be arrested or banned from the internet."
"Do you know how repressive a censorship regime has to be for the New York Times to write an article like this? Regardless of how authoritarian or repressive you think Bolsanaro is, the institutions acting against him, in particular this Supreme Court, have become more repressive."
inventa foguetes, carros elétricos, internet via satélite... tem toda a minha atenção.
Decisão de Moraes é a materialização da BURRICE JURÍDICA. Explico.
Musk não é brasileiro, e se cometeu algum crime, foi FORA DO BRASIL.
Musk não tem foro de prerrogativa (Art. 102, CF)
Musk não é CEO do "X".
Empresa não pode ser confundida com seu proprietário.
Juiz não pode abrir inquérito de ofício.
O titular da Ação Penal, o MP, não pediu nada.
Enfim, depois que Moraes inventou o "flagrante perpétuo" e o "mandado de prisão em flagrante", já não sei mais o que dizer sobre nada do que esse sujeito regurgita.
É ilegalidade para cima de ilegalidade.
Lembrando que para ser ministro do STF o cidadão deveria ter notável saber jurídico, mas o que vale é a "notável indicação política".
Santa burrice, Btaman!
Pobre de nós!
pode ser, mas acredito q uma pessoa do naipe de Elon Musk nao necessita de estrelismo. Twitter é apenas mais um de seus muitos negócios.
mas foi o único a ir de encontro as arbitrariedades e ilegalidades da ditadura do judiciário brasileiro.

I recommend that all Americans carefully read this:
The events of the last few days have been electrifying and have taught us a lot about the global left's network of relationships, ranging from Latin American communist organizations to members of the United States Congress.
After our interview on @TuckerCarlson , which garnered over 10 MILLION views here on X, I was called to testify before the United States Congress at the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, in an event titled "Brazil: A Crisis of Democracy, Freedom & the Rule of Law?" organized by the commission's Co-Chairman, Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ).
Besides myself, Brazilian congressmen and foreign policy experts were also called to testify, including members of the renowned Heritage Foundation. The goal was to assess human rights violations, including freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and due process of law currently underway in Brazil, sponsored by the regime of which Lula da Silva and Justice Alexandre de Moraes are part.
The event was so significant for Brazil that a delegation of approximately 50 Brazilian members of parlament (including congressmen and senators) confirmed their attendance to seize this unique opportunity to have our voices heard, bearing the high costs of travel out of their own pockets.
To my surprise, we received a call yesterday saying that the hearing had been blocked by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) @RepMcGovern and temporarily postponed. More than that: Rep. Smith's staff mentioned they were perplexed as they had never seen such a push-back for a simple hearing.
In response, I imagine Republicans have also blocked Democrat agendas at the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, so this important group will be virtually paralyzed. It's jaw-dropping that Democrats are willing to go to such lengths just to prevent our people from exposing the tyranny under which we find ourselves.
But, looking at Rep. McGovern's record, the reason becomes clear: he is a repugnant man, who The Wall Street Journal has reported as having friendships with the Colombian guerrilla, narco-terrorist, and communist group, the FARC. And, without a doubt, a man who advocates for lifting sanctions and normalizing US relations with the tyrannical communist regime of Cuba certainly does not want the Brazilian people to share the similar tribulations we have been going through.
It is also sad to realize that Rep. McGovern represents a district (MA-2) with a massive Brazilian-American community. Massachusetts is the second state with the most Brazilians in the USA. Definitely, our people need to learn to vote better so that America does not suffer the same fate as Brazil at the hands of these villains.
If Rep. McGovern is not an operative of the São Paulo Forum, he definitely behaves like one. Not only that, but he is known as the "George Soros boy" in the House.
But the question remains: who made the request to McGovern? What I heard from behind the scenes in Congress was that it came from the Brazilian government itself. The same pro-China, Pro-Iran, Pro-Venezuela, Pro-Cuba, Pro-Hamas government that has antagonized all of the United States' international policies. So it is fair to ask: whom does Rep. McGovern serve? The US or communist regimes?
Those who think we have given up are mistaken. This has only served to draw more attention to the issue. Next week, we will be in a large Brazilian delegation inside US Congress for meetings with American lawmakers, a press conference and to reschedule the hearing on Brazil. Republicans hold the majority in the House and in its committees, so your attempt to silence us is futile.
See you soon!

nem sabia q existia justiça brasileira
Em cumprimento a um decreto judicial para proibir o X no Brasil, os representantes do juiz Alexandre De Moraes do Supremo Tribunal Federal entraram em contato com a Anatel, a autoridade reguladora das telecomunicações do país, para iniciar o processo de encerramento do X em todo o país.
"We kept getting these demands from Judge Alexandre to suspend accounts of sitting members of the parliament and major journalists. We could not tell them that this was at the behest of Alexandre, we had to pretend that it was due to our rules" 🇧🇷
Thank you Elon Musk. 
BRAZIL IS ON THE BRINK
I’m reporting to you from Brazil, where a dramatic series of events are underway.
At 5:52 pm Eastern Time, today, April 6, 2024, X corporation, formerly known as Twitter, announced that a Brazilian court had forced it to “block certain popular accounts in Brazil.”
Then, less than one hour later, the owner of X, @ElonMusk announced that X would defy the court’s order, and lift all restrictions.
“As a result,” said Musk, “we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit.”
At any moment, Brazil’s Supreme Court could shut off all access to X/Twitter for the people of Brazil.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Brazil is on the brink of dictatorship at the hands of a totalitarian Supreme Court Justice named Alexandre de Moraes.
President Lula da Silva is participating in the push toward totalitarianism. Since taking office, Lula has massively increased government funding of the mainstream news media, most of which are encouraging increased censorship.
What Lula and de Moraes are doing is an outrageous violation of Brazil’s constitution and the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
At this moment, Brazil is not yet a dictatorship. It still has elections and the Brazilian people have other means at their disposal to confront authoritarianism.
But the Federal Supreme Court and the Superior Electoral Court are directly interfere in those elections through censorship.
Three days ago I published the Twitter Files for Brazil. They show that Moraes has violated the Brazilian Constitution. Moraes illegally demanded that Twitter reveal private information about Twitter users who used hashtags he considered inappropriate. He demanded access to Twitter's internal data, violating the platform's policy. He censored, on his own initiative and without any respect for due process, posts on Twitter by parliamentarians from the Brazilian Congress. And Moraes tried to turn Twitter's content moderation policies into a weapon against supporters of then-president Jair Bolsonaro.
I say this as an independent and non-partisan journalist. I'm not a fan of either Bolsonaro or Trump. My political views are very moderate. But I know censorship when I see it.
The Twitter Files also revealed that Google, Facebook, Uber, WhatsApp and Instagram betrayed the people of Brazil. If such evidence is proven, the executives of these companies behaved like cowards: they provided the Brazilian government with personal registration data and telephone numbers without a court order and, therefore, violating the law.
When Twitter refused to provide Brazilian authorities with private user information, including direct messages, the government attempted to sue Twitter's top Brazilian lawyer.
When I lived in Brazil in 1992, I was very left-wing. At the time, Lula and the PT's slogans were “Without fear of being happy”.
In recent days, I have spoken to dozens of Brazilians, including professors, journalists and respected lawyers. Everyone tells me they are shocked by what is happening. They told me that they are afraid to speak their mind and that the Lula government is complicit in creating this climate of fear.
Brazil belongs to the Brazilians. It is not my country. As such, there are limits to what I am capable of doing.
But I can say things that many Brazilians do not feel safe saying: Alexandre de Moraes is a tyrant. And the only way to deal with tyrants is to confront them. It is up to Brazil’s senators to confront the tyrant. And it is up to the people of Brazil to demand that their senators do so.
