Last week Haissender Souza de Paulo was found confused,wandering the streets of Gov. Valadares, MG. On Tuesday he started vomiting blood. Yesterday his lifeless body was found on a family farm. He was a witness in the newly reopened investigation on the 2018 Bolsonaro stabbing.+
De Paulo was a henchman of Congressman Marcelo Álvaro Antônio (PSL), Pres. Bolsonaro's first Tourism Minister, who was fired in September, 2020 over a scandal involving skimming federal campaign funds for local candidates and rerouting them into Bolsonaro's presidential campaign
In June, 2019, Haissander, who was 31 and working an aid to Tourism Minister Marcelo Alvaro at the time, was arrested arrested and by the Federal Police and briefly jailed in the campaign funds skimming scandal - possibly as a patsy for his boss.
Together, Alvaro and aid Haissander coordinated Bolsonaro's Sept 6. campaign visit to Juiz de Fora, MG, where an extremely suspicious stabbing event took place that was manipulated to remove him from the presidential debates and portray him as a martyr to "communist terrorists".
In 2021, veteran Brazilian journalist Joaquim de Carvalho's documentary, "Bolsonaro e Adélio - uma fakeada no coração do Brasil" exposed inconsistencies in the Bolsonaro stabbing narrative. On Nov. 26, the Federal Police reopened the investigation. brasilwire.com/bombastic-docu…
On December 29th, the Federal Police transferred the director of the first investigation into the Bolsonaro stabbing, Rodrigo Morais Fernandes, to the United States. He is now working with Homeland Security in New York. poder360.com.br/justica/pf-man…
Yesterday the Federal Police appointed Agent Martin Bottaro Purper to direct the new investigation. Purper, 43, is a 17 year veteran of the force known for his investigations against the PCC - the crime group that supplies Europe with most of its cocaine.
The day Haissander was found wandering,confused and not remembering his own name, 180 KM from his home town of Aimores, MG, local residents posted this notice on social media, asking if anyone recognized him.
Although it's possible he died of natural causes while the Federal Police were moving forwards on the Bolsonaro stabbing investigation in which he was a key witness, some people wonder if he was poisoned for damage control - "burning files" as they say in Brazil. RIP Haissander.

In 2019, Bolsonaro's Fed. Police tried to force Greenwald to name his source for the Telegram leaks in the Vaza Jato scandal. 40 progressive lawyers agreed to defend him, pro bono, on 7.7.2019. On 8.8.2019 the Supreme Court he now slanders as "totalitarian" ruled in his favor+ Image
Greenwald's Musk-alligneded PR campaign, that ridicules the Brazilian left, pushes Jair Bolsonaro's Trumpian "stop the steal" narrative and uses US law to make a baseless claim that Brazil's Supreme Court is totalitarian, therefore, reeks of hypocrisy. www1.folha.uol.com.br/colunas/monica…
If it weren't for leftist lawyers and the Supreme Court acting independently, as the only branch of government that wasn't controlled by Jair Bolsonaro, Greenwald would have been arrested.

Estela Aranha accuses Michael Shellenberger of dishonestly manipulating his "Twitter Files" to push Musk's agenda. The only Brazilian group to ever press charges for refusing to turn over user data is GAECO - S. Paulo police's organized crime unit. More info in this thread+
Aranha, a lawyer, internet crimes specialist & former Sec. of the Justice Ministry, dismantles Shellenberger's claim that Supreme Court Justice Moraes and other officials threatened to prosecute Twitter Brazil's lawyer if he didn't hand over users' personal information. Image
At the time Shellenberger released his "twitter files" neither Alexandre de Moraes nor any other Supreme Court minister had ever pressed criminal charges against Twitter Brazil. Image

Shellenberger has no background in Brazilian law but has cherry-picked from its Constitution to argue that criminal suspects have full privacy rights. They don't. Police order social media companies to provide data on pedophiles all the time. Treason is also a crime in Brazil+ Image
Jair Bolsonaro was barred from politics for 8 years for committing an electoral crime on his national public TV network in August, 2022, when he invited foreign diplomats to the presidential palace and claimed Brazil's electronic voting system was flawed, providing 0 evidence. Image
Not only was it a clear case of abuse of authority the event led to the criminal investigation of hundreds of business elites who paid to spam Bolsonaro's disinformation across social media during election season. Lying to undermine an election is not protected free speech here. Image

Why are Musk and lackeys like Shellenberger attacking Brazil's democratic rule of law when X normally complies with local government's user bans? Intercept Brazil reveals Musk is losing big to China's BYD in bids to capitalize on Brazil's lithium reserves and electric car market Image
The article in in Portuguese for now, but non-speakers can get the gist of it using Chrome or any other electronic translator. The journalists at Intercept Brasil have followed the money. intercept.com.br/2024/04/08/seg…

Twitter Files - Brazil: Imperialist elites from the global north attack Brazil's sovereignty by pretending US free speech absolutism codified in the 1st Ammendment is legally binding here. It's not. Brazil's constitutional "harmony of rights" is closer to the German model. Image
It may shock some people in the US, but Brazil has it's own laws and Constitution and it's own legal definition of free speech, which doesn't protect things like Naziism. Pernambuco Federal University Law Professor @LianaCirne explains Brazil's "harmony of rights" here.
The whole push for countries in the Global South to change their laws to be more like the USA is being pushed by far right tech billionaires and their sycophants to protect social media corporations from litigation. It has nothing to do with free speech.

Yesterday, Brazil's Supreme Court released the transcriptions of 27 witness/defendant depositions from the fed. police investigation on the Jan. 8, 2023 coup attempt to the public. This information dump has led to dozens of bombshell stories, which I'll summarize in this thread.+ Image
Former Air Force Commander Carlos Batista testified that at a November, 2022 meeting w/ military brass, Pres. Bolsonaro asked for help implementing a coup, and Army Commander Gomes Freire said he would arrest him if he tried. cartacapital.com.br/politica/freir…
During separate depositions, former Army Commander, Gen. Gomes Freire, and Airforce Commander Carlos Batista Jr. testified that after losing the 2022 elections, Bolsonaro held a series of meetings to plot a "temporary military dictatorship" to prevent Lula from taking office. Image
