The pattern of behaviour is so similar to the U.S. that some are asking if the CIA and FBI are at work in Brazil.Brazil series:

The country has followed an eerie pattern to the United States after the Nov 2020 election:

• globalists accuse Russia of interference to support Donald Trump/Jair Bolsonaro;

• law enforcement agrees to political demands to censor opponents;

• protests at congress portrayed as "insurrection" — Jan 6 and Jan 8;

• both leaders are accused of attempting a coup;

• state security services used the “insurrection” to justify further censorship.

The manipulation of social media is conducted at the highest levels of state security. After Telegram and Alphabet’s Google joined a campaign against a proposed internet regulation bill, Alexandre de Moraes, justice of the Federal Supreme Court and president of the Superior Electoral Court, ordered the investigation of politicians, journalists and social media executives.

When people complained about the electoral court on social media, the court targeted those accounts, demanding they be demonetized and that information critical of the court be hidden by algorithm.

Deputy Gustavo Gayer told the European Parliament: there are hundreds and hundreds of political prisoners. “I’m talking about the biggest democratic country in Latin America.”

“Elon Musk published the emails of former Twitter employees before he took over Twitter, in which Alexandre de Moraes ordered Twitter to censor all the right-wing politicians, to delete posts, to delete profiles – and to delete them while not saying it was a judicial order.”

Top down

Brazil’s clampdown on dissent comes straight from the top.

Following the election of Oct 2022, Brazil’s attorney general said his office should combat misinformation and attacks on democracy.

The National Prosecutor's Office for the Defense of Democracy (PNDD) should take legal action whenever it thinks democracy is undermined.

The Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship in Feb 2023 set up a working group for “combatting hate speech and extremism” paying special attention to social networks.

In practice this means journalists who are critical of the government or who investigate corruption are attacked, often by “squads” of influencers who begin as sleeper cells, toiling away at pop and entertainment, celebrity and gossip, identity politics and even finance.

These online hit squads are then activated to rally their followers against government opponents or in favour of official policy.

An investigation by Brazilian journalist David Agape reveals that the government’s use of influencers, bots and doxers has nothing to do with truth or the lack of it, and everything to do with day-to-day political tactics.

Worldwide clampdown

This is worrying because around the world governments are using the “defence of democracy” to pass laws giving official regulators the power to decree right from wrong, and to censor and fine those with whom they disagree.

We are not in a post-truth world. Truth stands, no matter how often a lie is repeated. It is precisely because truth is rock solid that governments descend to using tactics to reshape the political landscape or to queer the pitch — a phrase that comes from street markets where traders would manipulate the location or pitch of their stalls to take business from others.

This is in no ways limited to Brazil. Germany is considering banning its largest opposition party, Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) in order to “protect democracy.”

In the U.S. similar vested interests are trying to keep former president Donald Trump from another term by prosecuting and disqualifying him.

The European Commission is unelected; its bureaucrats and commissioners are appointed. That has not stopped them lecturing the people about misinformation. The EC is enforcing the EU Digital Services Act.

Commissioner Thierry Breton sent a letter to Facebook/Meta's Mark Zuckerberg after the Hamas attack of Oct 7: “We are seeing a surge of illegal content and disinformation… I expect you to be in touch with the relevant law enforcement authorities and Europol, and ensure that you respond promptly to any requests."

Like the EC, Australian bureaucrats are pushing through digital ID with minimal scrutiny. One can be near certain that it will be used to limit the freedom to comment online.

Former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern said at the start of the Covid response, “We will continue to be your single source of truth… Unless you hear it from us it is not the truth.”

Canada was the first “democracy” to dox, sanction and defame citizens for supporting the trucker convoy against vaccine mandates and restrictions on freedom of movement.

MindWar

MindWar is the doctrine developed in the 1980s by Col Michael A. Aquino, a psychological intelligence officer with the U.S. Army and a founder of the Temple of Set, and now used by Western military on their own population as part of 5th generation warfare. It works like this:

"Essentially you overwhelm your enemy with argument. You seize control of all of the means by which his government and populace process information to make up their minds, and you adjust it so that those minds are made up as you desire."

Ban, exile, extradition

Journalist and former priest Allan dos Santos who is now an exile in the United States confirmed on Mario Nawfal’s Twitter/X Space that his bank account in Brazil had been frozen, preventing him from paying for medical treatment for relatives.

Dos Santos was targeted by former Twitter head of security Yoel Roth in 2021 after individuals connected to Instituto Vero, an NGO partner of the TSE’s programme to combat disinformation, as being “very problematic for us in Brazil.”

Roth was famously involved in the decision to ban president Donald Trump’s Twitter account the same year.

The initial pretext for censoring dos Santos was his questioning of the Covid vaccine, but Felipe Neto of Instituto Vero also cited his criticism of Brazil’s government in general – and this was during the administration of president Jair Bolsonaro.

You can see that what’s been labelled the “censorship industrial complex” is not concerned with veracity but compliance.

YouTube had closed dos Santos’ account in 2021 on a request from the federal supreme court, STF, which the next year handed down decision suspending one of his Twitter accounts globally on the basis of fitting a “conspiracy theorist profile.”

The STF is still investigating him and has filed a request for him to be extradited back to Brazil.

Twitter Files Brazil

Brazil's political prosecutors are enraged after investigations by Michael Shellenberger, and colleagues David Ágape and Eli Vieira, titled, “Twitter Files Brazil."

The supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes has demanded Twitter provide internal data and documents which expose how the court ordered the censoring of members of Brazil's Congress and party leaders including former president Jair Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party and Marcel van Hattem of the NOVO party.

Supporters of current president Lula da Silva have asked for direct messages between private users to be disclosed.

De Moraes also demanded certain Twitter/X users be deplatformed.

Twitter/X owner Elon Musk says he will refuse to censor accounts in line with demands by Brazil's supreme court.

He responded that de Moraes should resign or be impeached.

Brazil’s attorney general Jorge Messias criticised Musk for failing to comply. “We cannot live in a society in which billionaires domiciled abroad have control of social networks.”

Messias has no problem with the likes of George and Alex Soros or Pierre Omidyar, as we shall see.

So far the platforms Locals and Rumble have not complied with demands.

Brazil's Superior Electoral Court (TSE) comprises seven justices, including its head Alexandre de Moraes. He, along with three electroal justices also sit on the supreme court (STF).

CIA and ‘alt’ media

From the beginning of their administrations Trump and Bolsonaro were accused of weaponising social media. Accusations that Russian online operatives generated content to sway the popular vote were thoroughly disproven - but the allegations of digital manipulation continued.

We now know that state security in the U.S. in the form of the Department of Homeland Security, CIA and FBI had thoroughly infiltrated social media and were using algorithms to promote content they deemed favourable while paying Twitter, for example, to ban accounts they did not like.

Bolsonaro was accused of running a "digital militia," allegations that persist more than a year after he left office, mainly through the efforts of supreme court minister de Moraes and his "fake news inquiry" or witch hunt.
