Brazilian tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes on the day of his inauguration to Supreme Court – Poder360

The conflict between tech magnate Elon Musk and Brazilian authorities intensified on Sunday when tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes initiated an investigation into Musk over potential obstruction of justice and incitement to crime.

This was after Musk refused requests by de Moraes to ban accounts that belong to prominent opposition members in the country.

The Crackdown: Brazilian Communist Supreme Court Issues Arrest Warrants for Opposition Leaders Including a Comedian and a Journalist

As Gateway Pundit readers know from our previous reporting, Justice Alexandre de Moraes is a staunch ally of communist Lula de Silva and refused to investigate election fraud allegations after the corrupt 2022 election. Moraes also threatened former Prime Minister Jair Bolsonaro and jailed dozens reporters, religious leaders, and Bolsonaro supporters.

From our previous reporting…

Enthusiatic crowd welcomes President Bolsonaro at Planalto Presidential Palace Wednesday

Radical left-wing Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes wants to fine the Liberal Party (PL) allied with President Jair Bolsonaro $4.1 million, freeze its bank accounts and investigate the Party’s chairman after the PL presented its report into the massive electoral fraud in Brazil. The confrontation between the corrupt Supreme Court and the executive branch threatens to escalate.

The Liberal Party (PL) presented its report Tuesday, saying that the results of pre-2020 electonic voting machines are open to manipulation and could not be verified. Using only the results from the secure 2020 electronic voting machines, the PL found that President Jair Bolsonaro won 51,05% of the vote and Communist challenger Lula da Silva only 48,95%.

The Technical Report on the Malfunctioning of Electronic Ballot Boxes submitted by PL head Valdemar Costa Neto to the leftist Superior Electoral Court (TSE) points out “serious and irremediable” inconsistencies in the functioning of part of the electronic voting machines. “The only votes that can be considered valid, verifiable and auditable, in the second round of the 2022 election, are those resulting from the 2020 model ballot boxes,” argues the party, based on an audit by the Instituto Voto Legal (IVL).

“What we seek to demonstrate with this empirical result from the electronic voting machines of the 2020 model (uniformly distributed throughout the country by the Electoral Court itself), based on valid audit elements that attest to the authenticity of the electoral result with the necessary certainty — as mandated by the Superior Electoral Court itself — is that the valid and auditable votes of the Second Round of the 2022 electoral process attest to a result different from that announced by the Superior Electoral Court on 10/30/2022, conferring a percentage of 51.05 % of the vote to President Jair Bolsonaro,“ according to the PL.

Previous studies conducted by Argentine consultant Fernando Cerimedo and the legally required review by the Armed Forces have also found serious problems with the Brazilian electonic voting machines. The military report found evidence of “access to the network during the compilation of the source code“ that could represent “a major risk to the security of the process“. The report submitted by the Minister of Defense General Paulo Sergio Nogueira concluded that “it is not possible to affirm that the electronic voting system is free from the influence of malicious code that could alter its operation.“ General Nogueira asked for a “technical investigation to better understand what is happening in the system.”

The left-wing Superior Electoral Court run by corrupt Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes refused to produce the software run on the electonic voting machines, or permit any further investigation, and instead claimed that “the final report of the Ministry of Defense … did not point out the existence of any fraud or inconsistency in the electronic voting machines and in the electoral process of 2022.”

This false claim was then parroted by media throughout the world.

Bogus AP Fake News headline: “Brazil: Military does not detect irregularities”.

Instead, Alexandre de Moraes wants to have General Nogueira removed for “endangering the constitution.” On Wednesday 11/16,  de Moraes sent a request to the Attorney General’s Office to remove the Minister of Defense, O Antagonista reports.

Now, corrupt judge Alexandre de Moraes has rejected the PL’s request for verification of the votimg machines and ordered the party to pay a fine of BRL 22.9 million (US$ 4.1 million). Moraes also ordered the freezing of party funds from Bolsonaro’s coalition “until the payment of the fine, as well as the initiation of an administrative procedure on ‘possible misuse of the party structure, including the Party Fund, in particular with regard to the conduct of Valdemar Costa Neto and Carlos Rocha’ — author of the study by Instituto Voto Legal”, O Antagonista reports.

YouTube has demonetized the Jovem Pan news channel for supposed “election disinformation”. Jovem Pan is “the only cable news TV not pushing far-left-only talking points, and last Tuesday beat all cable news as most watched nationwide,” according to Brazil News in English.

That’s not all.
Lula and Moraes arrested religious leaders.

Democrat Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has just signed a bill that will make human compositing legal in the state of Arizona.

Hobbs just signed House Bill 2081, known as the ‘Grandpa in the Garden Bill,’ into law.

This bill will now allow people to turn their loved ones into soil in a process called human composting.

Human composting or natural organic reduction is the process of “breaking down human remains into usable compost or soil that can be returned to the bereaved family or contributed to a conservation area.”

The process involves placing a human body into large tanks containing wood chips, straw, and other natural materials for about four to six weeks until the body turns into soil.

After the composting process is finished, family members can use the soil to plant trees or place the soil in their gardens.

Per AZ Family:

Traditional burials and cremations will no longer be the only options in Arizona when a loved one passes away.

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs recently signed HB 2081 into law, which will provide a new, eco-friendly alternative for disposing of someone’s body.

The process is called human composting or natural organic reduction.

Instead of being buried or cremated, remains are turned into fertile soil that can be used in someone’s backyard or garden.

A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) raises serious questions about the efficacy of Pfizer’s antiviral drug Paxlovid, which was previously authorized for emergency use to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 cases.

Paxlovid received emergency use authorization in December 2021 as the first at-home treatment for COVID-19 in the United States. It was touted as a cost-effective and efficient method to combat early COVID-19 infections.

Pfizer reported that Paxlovid significantly reduced the risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization or death by 88% in their press release.

The Gateway Pundit has been covering the inefficacy and adverse reactions associated with Pfizer’s antiviral drug.

Scientific documentation about post-Paxlovid relapse has been available since the fall of 2022. Pfizer’s application to the FDA for emergency use authorization of Paxlovid stated that in the placebo-controlled clinical trial — which included 2,246 participants — “several subjects appeared to have a rebound in SARS-CoV-2 RNA levels around Day 10 or Day 14” after beginning treatment, NBC reported.

Following this report, Pfizer released a statement admitting that it failed to reduce the risk of confirmed and symptomatic COVID-19 infection in adults living with someone who had been exposed to the virus.

“We designed the clinical development program for PAXLOVID to be comprehensive and ambitious with the aim of being able to help combat COVID-19 in a very broad population of patients,” said Albert Bourla, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Pfizer.

“While we are disappointed in the outcome of this particular study, these results do not impact the strong efficacy and safety data we’ve observed in our earlier trial for the treatment of COVID-19 patients at high risk of developing severe illness, and we are pleased to see the growing global use of PAXLOVID in that population,” Bourla added.

It can be recalled that Paxlovid was increasingly linked to instances of rebound infections. Notably, several high-profile figures such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, Jill Biden, and former CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky have reported experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19 symptoms following treatment with the drug.

The majority of these individuals had received two initial doses of the vaccine and two booster shots, with Dr. Walensky having received an additional third booster.

The Gateway Pundit also reported that Paxlovid can cause severe or life-threatening effects if it is taken in tandem with other common medications, including some anticoagulants, anti-depressants, and cholesterol-lowering drugs that are used widely across the US, according to a warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

When Joe Biden tested positive for Covid and started Paxlovid in July, Joe Biden’s doctor said he had stopped heart medications for Biden’s atrial fibrillation and high cholesterol due to his prescribing Paxlovid to treat Biden’s COVID infection. Atrial fibrillation can cause strokes and is treated by blood thinners to reduce the risk of stroke-causing blood clots being formed.

“His apixaban (ELIQUIS) and rosuvastatin (Crestor) are being held during PAXLOVID treatment and for several days after his last dose. During this time, it is reasonable to add low dose aspirin as an alternative type of blood thinner,” said Biden’s personal physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor.

In addition to the potentially dangerous drug combinations, the agency does not recommend that individuals with kidney or liver disease take the new drug because it could also cause complications.

Now, The Hill’s Amber Duke and Jessica Burbank have highlighted the discrepancy between the drug’s high cost and its actual effectiveness based on the new NEJM study.

The Biden regime’s investment of $12 billion in Paxlovid, against the backdrop of Pfizer selling $20 billion worth of the drug before these findings came to light, raises serious questions about the evaluation and promotion of COVID-19 treatments.

“Paxlovid, once considered a wonder drug to beat back COVID-19, may not be so mighty after all. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Wednesday suggests the antiviral drug does little or nothing for both fully vaccinated or unvaccinated people who have at least one risk factor for severe COVID. It did little to shorten the duration of symptoms,” said Duke.

“Adults who had confirmed COVID-19 with symptom onset in the past five days were randomly assigned with Paxlovid or a placebo to take every 12 hours for five days. Patients who were fully vaccinated against COVID and patients who had never been vaccinated against COVID were eligible for participation in the study. Now, shocking that a drug that costs $1,300 for a five course is showing in a randomized controlled trial to not really relieve COVID symptoms. That’s a lot of money to pay for something that provenly doesn’t work, it seems,” said Burbank.

Duke responded, “This is part of a larger trend of the medical community, and particularly big pharma, both taking advantage and repeatedly selling the American public a bill of goods when it came to COVID-19. They, of course, routinely mocked therapeutic treatments like Ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine, saying that they were a fish tank cleaner or horse dewormer, even though these medicines have been used for human treatment in different dosages for decades, and basically just wanted the government to pour all of its money into propping up the vaccine development among these big pharmaceutical companies. They didn’t want people to take possibly potentially effective therapeutics because they would take away from the desire for people to develop a vaccine. And then they had their own therapeutic treatments like Paxlivit, which doesn’t even work, and made $20 billion on it. It was just such a total racket from start to finish.”

Caitlin Clark also brought excitement to the game of women’s basketball – something unimaginable before she entered college.

Former women’s record holder Lynette Woodard trashed Clark’s all-time scoring record.

Male jocks have seen their records broken thanks to a series of rule changes over decades without displaying the level of jealousy we’ve seen Caitlin Clark ignite.

Clark and her Iowa teammates sold out every home game and sold out or set attendance records at nearly every major venue they played at all season.

Clark and Iowa broke audience records on ESPN on Monday and then broke that record on Friday in the semi-final.

Caitlin Clark single-handedly remade women’s basketball from unwatchable to must-see television.

But this did not go over so well in several circles.

WNBA elites trashed Clark. Former players diminished her accomplishments for some reason. Even many announcers minimized Clark’s popularity.

Jason Whitlock may have offered Caitlin the most logical advice telling Caitlin to stay at Iowa for another year, make millions, and then bypass the WNBA and retire.

Caitlin Clark should return to Iowa next season, make about $20 million in NIL, retire from basketball, marry her boyfriend, and avoid the nastiness that awaits her in the WNBA. I’m not joking.

After America’s embarrassing surrender in Afghanistan, the US Military under Joe Biden has not been able to reach its recruiting goals.

During fiscal year 2023, the US military services collectively missed recruiting goals by about 41,000 recruits.

Meanwhile, the US military brass continues to push a culture of pro-DEI lunacy while targeting gays and minorities for promotion.

Then this video went viral.

The video shows the military’s treatment of USAF Senior Airman Lance Castle, a service member who refused the mandatory CV-19 vaccine.

The video shows Lance Castle being extracted from his cell.

Lance Castle was dubbed an “insider threat,” given 60 days pre-trial confinement (missed the birth of 1st born), and sent to a court martial to stand trial on 5 UCMJ Charges.

Via Mark Charles Bashaw, a medical professional, who was the first man convicted by a special court-martial in May 2022 for violating orders to comply with COVID-19 mitigation measures. Bashaw, a father of three, was also found guilty of failing to wear a mask indoors.

Bashaw continues to expose the truth about the military COVID mandates that ruined thousands of lives and injured hundreds of soldiers, sailors and Marines.

Mark Charles Bashaw posted these documents from Senior Airman Lance Castle’s case after his arrest.

Lance Castle was found NG or “Not Guilty” of all charges against him.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, where she boasted about improving relations with the communist nation.

After discussing economic and trade issues over the course of her visit, Yellen argued that the broader U.S.-China relationship was on the up.

“While we have more to do, I believe that, over the past year, we have put our bilateral relationship on more stable footing,” Yellen remarked during a meeting in the Fujian room of the Great Hall of the People on the west side of Tiananmen Square.

“As the world’s two largest economies, we have a duty to our own countries and to the world to responsibly manage our complex relationship and to cooperate and show leadership on addressing pressing global challenges,” Yellen continued.

During the Trump administration, relations with China entered a period of decline as he sought to push back against the communist nation’s path towards global hegemony. However, the Biden regime is far more sympathetic to Beijing than its precedessor.

At a press conference on Saturday, Yellen also revealed she had discussed the subject of the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Chinese leaders.

“We think there’s more to do, but I do see it as an area where we’ve agreed to cooperate and we’ve already seen some meaningful progress,” she said. “They understand how serious an issue this is to us.”

Last year, Yellen was widely criticized after bowing to her Chinese counterpart, something which her opponents described as symbolic of her attitude to the Asian superpower.

Since taking office in 2021, Yellen has also faced criticism for her remarks about inflation, which she insisted would be “transitory.”

Last month, she said she regretted using that choice of words, given that inflation has become part a major issue affecting the majority of Americans.

“I regret saying it was transitory,” she said at the time. “It has come down, but I think transitory means a few weeks or months to most people, and that — it’s lasted longer than that.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent visit to Wellesley College, her alma mater, was met with significant protest and controversy. On April 6, 2024, Clinton attended a democracy summit and the inauguration of the Hillary Rodham Clinton Center for Citizenship, Leadership, and Democracy. However, her presence sparked demonstrations from students and pro-Palestine activists, who accused her of having “blood on her hands” due to her positions on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The protests were not just a minor footnote to the day’s events but a significant expression of dissent. Demonstrators carried signs accusing Clinton of being indifferent to Palestinian suffering and directly confronted her during a panel discussion. One protester’s challenge, which led to their removal from the event, underscored the intensity of the opposition Clinton faced.

“You call yourself a feminist? Women are dying in Gaza, you fucking coward!”

This incident at Wellesley College is emblematic of broader tensions within academic environments over international politics and human rights. The college, known for its focus on women’s leadership, found itself at the center of a heated debate over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, reflecting the complex interplay of these issues within higher education.

Moreover, the backdrop to these protests includes increasing concerns over anti-Semitism on university campuses. An email sent by the resident hall student president at Wellesley, blaming Israel for the Hamas massacre of Jewish civilians, highlights the charged atmosphere around discussions of the Israel-Hamas violence.

Clinton’s visit was intended to celebrate the launch of a center named in her honor and to participate in a summit exploring challenges to democracy. However, the limited public access to the event and the decision to keep promotion minimal did little to quell the discontent among those opposed to her political stances.

The demonstrators’ use of slogans and imagery, including medical masks and kaffiyehs, added a visual dimension to their protest. Their actions, including circulating pamphlets labeling Clinton as a war criminal, indicate the depth of their opposition.

Clinton’s response to the confrontation, offering to meet with the protester after the event, did little to mitigate the situation. The incident, captured and shared widely on social media, highlighted the divide between Clinton and a segment of the student body at Wellesley.

This episode at Wellesley College underscores the ongoing debates over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the role of prominent political figures in these discussions, and the place of such debates within academic institutions. It serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in addressing international conflicts and human rights issues in a polarized environment.

Brazilian tyrannical Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes and X owner Elon Musk

The conflict between technology magnate Elon Musk and Brazilian authorities intensified when Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes initiated an investigation into Musk over potential obstruction of justice and incitement to crime.

The dispute centers on Musk’s announcement that he would reactivate blocked social media accounts on platform X, which he owns, in defiance of an unconstitutional judicial order.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Saturday that the Global Government Affairs team of X Corp issued a statement expressing their forced compliance with Brazilian court decisions to block certain accounts, citing a lack of transparency and due process in these orders.

The statement highlighted the company’s commitment to challenging these orders legally, advocating for the principles of freedom of speech and transparency within the Brazilian constitution.

X’s Global Government Affairs said in a statement:

X Corp. has been forced by court decisions to block certain popular accounts in Brazil. We have informed those accounts that we have taken this action.

We do not know the reasons these blocking orders have been issued.

We do not know which posts are alleged to violate the law.

We are prohibited from saying which court or judge issued the order, or on what grounds.

We are prohibited from saying which accounts are impacted.

We are threatened with daily fines if we fail to comply.

We believe that such orders are not in accordance with the Marco Civil da Internet or the Brazilian Federal Constitution, and we challenge the orders legally where possible.

The people of Brazil, regardless of their political beliefs, are entitled to freedom of speech, due process, and transparency from their own authorities.

Elon Musk announced that X would lift all imposed restrictions, despite acknowledging the financial repercussions, including the potential shutdown of X’s operations in Brazil.

“We are lifting all restrictions. This judge has applied massive fines, threatened to arrest our employees and cut off access to X in Brazil. As a result, we will probably lose all revenue in Brazil and have to shut down our office there. But principles matter more than profit,” Musk said.

Musk also advocated for the judge’s resignation and labeling the account suspensions as unconstitutional. Musk pledged full disclosure of the demands made by Justice Moraes and accused him of betraying the Brazilian constitution and its people.

“Coming shortly, X will publish everything demanded by Alexandre and how those requests violate Brazilian law.  This judge has brazenly and repeatedly betrayed the constitution and people of Brazil. He should resign or be impeached. Shame Alexandre, shame,” Musk wrote.

Shame @Alexandre, shame.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 7, 2024

Justice Moraes, leading investigations into digital militias linked with the spread of disinformation under former President Jair Bolsonaro’s administration and an alleged coup attempt, has now included Musk in the inquiry, Reuters reported.

The justice’s firm stance was reflected in his warning that X must comply with the court’s orders or face a daily fine of 100,000 reais ($19,740).

President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s regime, alongside Solicitor General Jorge Messias, has sided with Moraes, advocating the need to regulate social media networks to prevent foreign entities from violating Brazilian laws.

DC Draino said it best, “The Biden regime hates Elon Musk for allowing free speech in America. They want to arrest him and seize his company, but the Constitution won’t allow it. So what’s their workaround? Using a Marxist puppet gov’t in Brazil to try and arrest him instead The CIA and State Dept is direct involved. This is tyranny.”

In response to the escalating tension, Musk has advised Brazilians to use virtual private networks (VPNs) to bypass any access restrictions.

“To ensure that you can still access the platform, download a virtual private network (VPN) app,” Musk wrote.

Using VPN is very easy.

Journalist Michael Shellenberger has more on this:

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.

“We are… pushing back against the requests…”
