LIVE, in 15 minutes:

Our exclusive report on a major escalation of Brazil's censorship regime: a single Supreme Court judge has ordered multiple Americans social media platforms to immediately ban politicians and analysts or face massive fines:

rumble.com/v25depn-exclus…
We will reveal the full order, which we've obtained exclusively: it's truly shocking in its breadth and authoritarianism, with no rationale. Just a command, accompanied by threats.

As this thread illustrates, it's a threat to internet freedom globally:

We'll interview at least one of the Brazilian commentators who is the subject of this order. The just has ordered his decision be kept secret. The censored analyst had no idea these platforms were ordered to ban him until we called. The key context:

Já que vou debater com o @NPTO (e outros que puderem de boa fé), vou guardar minhas respostas para lá - o Twitter é o pior lugar para debater perguntas complexas - mas quero fazer 2 pontos cruciais sobre o ataques mais comuns às minhas reportagens e as confusões mais difundidas:
1) Que eu estou impondo "a visão americana" é absurdo. Milhões de brasileiros concordam com minhas preocupações. E o NYT criticou de Moraes 2 vezes por que conversaram com **especialistas em direito e constituição brasileira** que explicaram como esse regime está bem perigoso: ImageImageImageImage
2) Minhas objeções a de Moraes vão muito além da liberdade de expressão: são sobre a falta de devido processo. Pela ordem que revelamos, declarou as pessoas culpadas sem explicação, em total sigilo, essas pessoas não foram notificadas, sem oportunidade de contestar as acusações👇 ImageImageImageImage

The last thread in Portuguese was about an exclusive report we presented on last night's @SystemUpdate_. It concerns the growing and - for a modern democracy - unprecedented censorship system now implemented in Brazil. We obtained a chilling secret order

rumble.com/v25depn-exclus…
The censorship regime in Brazil has become so repressive - a single judge orders people banned and even arrested with no due process or rationale, all under secrecy - that even the NYT twice warned how grave this has become:

2) https://t.co/UpbsF2pJUm
As in the US, the Brazilian left is united with the corporate media in support of this system. It's a 9/11 climate: if you question this judge, you're deemed "pro-Terrorist." Given the global consequence of this order, we also published our after-show:

Moro aqui há 17 anos, então sabia que minhas reportagens e críticas ao de Moraes enfureceria grande parte da esquerda.

Como disse o NYT, a esquerda e a mídia corporativa se uniram para fazer dele seu novo Moro: o juiz-herói que salva a nação e, portanto, não pode ser criticado. Image
Bons jornalistas, por definição, provocam ataques raivosos. Quando falo em faculdades, meu conselho é: "se vc precisa ser amado universalmente, o jornalismo não é para você". Os ataques agora são semelhantes ao #VazaJato, embora de petistas em vez de lavajatistas. Debater é bom! Image
Mas uma grande parte suja da esquerda não debate. Usaram meu marido para me atacar - desde teorias conspiratórias sobre sua doença até usar os sites de fake news criados sobre David por Oswaldo Eustáquio durante a #VazaJato - até o ponto de o nome dele entrar no TT e ficou.👇👇 Image

BREAKING: The censorship regime in Brazil is growing rapidly, virtually daily now. We just obtained a censorship order that is genuinely shocking, directing multiple social media platforms to *immediately* remove numerous prominent politicians and commentators.
I can't overstate how shocking and dangerous this new censorship order is. It's from the same judge that even the NYT has been warning about as authoritarian: Alexandre de Moraes. Read this NYT article. It was from September. It's now severely escalating:

nytimes.com/2022/09/26/wor…
A sign of how repressive the situation in Brazil is: I've had to spent hours with lawyers even figuring out if I can report this. I've confronted governments around the world and this is the only time I've ever asked: "Should I report on this? Can I safely criticize this judge?"

Quem defende um princípio não está do lado de nenhuma facção política. Um princípio não serve à esquerda ou à direita.

Um princípio, por definição, tem aplicação universal. Aqueles que não conseguem raciocinar com princípios sempre assumem que todos sofrem da mesma incapacidade
Os princípios - como os direitos - não têm partido. Podem ajudar a esquerda um dia, a direita no dia seguinte.

Por exemplo, o princípio de que o Estado não pode punir um cidadão sem julgamento justo um dia pode libertar o Lula. No dia seguinte, proteger um bolsonarista.
Mas o próprio princípio – o direito a um julgamento justo, liberdade de expressão, limites ao poder judicial – serve e protege a sociedade inteira. Isso é o que diferencia os princípios do poder corrupto.

O fascismo e o autoritarismo só são possíveis na ausência de princípios.

Holy shit. How can anyone believe this?

In case anyone still wonders what happened to the Intercept:

The original idea was it would be an outsider publication adversarial to the US Security State, but its editors, craving approval, began hiring NYT and NBC reporters. Thus:
"The Church Committee brought the intelligence community fully under the rule of law and into the American system of government:" ex-NYT's Jim Risen.

I can barely think of a worse lie, a more blatant form of Deep State propaganda, a more un-journalistic belief to harbor.
The amazing thing about anyone saying that - much less Jim Risen - is he won a Pulitzer for the NYT in 2005 for revealing the NSA was *illegally* spying on Americans without the warrants required by law.

But this is how Trump broke these people's brains.
