Let That Sink In

Ezra Levant reports from the huge free speech rally in Brazil;

As you may have heard, a crusading Brazilian judge named Alexandre de Moraes has been waging a secret war against Elon Musk’s social media platform, Twitter. Moraes would routinely order Twitter to suspend political opponents of the ruling president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, usually just called “Lula”.

It wasn’t just that the judge was silencing Lula’s critics, including elected political opponents and journalists. Moraes often went further, demanding that Twitter make those suspensions but ordering Twitter to keep the judge’s role a secret. A secret trial with a secret punishment. That’s against Brazilian law, but that didn’t seem to bother this judge.

And since Musk refused to comply, Moraes simply banned the entire social media platform from Brazil, silencing millions of citizens. When Musk made a fuss about it, the government went even further, seizing property belonging to other companies owned by Musk, including the Internet service, Starlink.

      “They are speaking to millions of people without any level of oversight or regulation. And that has to stop,” added Harris.

  3. Just a note for the owners, moderators, and peace keepers of this site. For the third time today I typed up a rather lengthy (and I hope substantive) reply to a thread that disappeared into the ether instead of getting posted.

    This seems to be an ongoing (if not growing) problem that should probably be addressed.

    Cheers,

  5. 2nd from last video is hilarious, it almost looks like a Biden inauguration!

    US government support for Lula must be enormous – they can’t let their model collapse.

  6. The Brasilian flag has the motto Order and Progress on it; a motto rather like Canada’s Peace, Order and Good Government
