Brazilian Censorship Challenged

A Brazilian judge attempting bald-faced and blatant censorship is being targeted by President Donald Trump’s Truth Social as well as by Rumble. The judge, Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, has clashed repeatedly with former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro as well as with the American social media platforms.

What makes this lawsuit special is that it’s been filed in the United States, so Moraes won’t be able to use any of his usual monkey business to squelch justice.

Here, Glenn Greenwald provides background on the case. Greenwald is an American journalist, but based in Brazil, where his reporting appears in the daily Folha de Sao Paulo.

Extreme Censorship In Germany

Why has the German government adopted such extreme laws governing free speech? What are the “hate crimes” they cite as a defense for these laws?

Is there a rationale behind the censorship? Or are there simply German leaders who can’t withstand criticism? Do they suffer from a deeply ingrained, even fascist, approach?

Here, journalist James Jackson explains Germany’s insane patchwork of law governing what’s free and acceptable speech.

Jackson is a Berlin-based freelance journalist covering news, politics and culture in central Europe. He has been published in Time Magazine, BBC Culture and The Sunday Times. He appears here on System Update with Glenn Greenwald.

It’s Go Time!

The leftists are sweating bullets. They’re NOT happy about Pam Bondi.

She has just been confirmed as the new Attorney General on a Senate vote of 54 to 46, and will now lead the U.S. Department of Justice. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.

Meanwhile, the full U.S. Senate will vote, likely next week, on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence after the Senate Intelligence Committee approved her nomination by a vote of 9 to 8. Among those voting against her was Sen. Ron Wyden. the Oregon Democrat who has championed Internet rights against censorship.

But Wyden is nothing but a shameless hypocrite and a coward. Gabbard has made it clear she also stands for Internet rights, but Wyden opposed her.

Why? The Democratic party is full of corrupt crooks like Nancy Pelosi who have made millions upon millions of dollars off stock deals involving trade secrets known to those in political power in Washington DC. Wyden doesn’t want their chicanery and machinations exposed. Here’s more from Glenn Greenwald.

Gabbard Smears On The Rise

The confirmation hearing surrounding Tulsi Gabbard is expected to be among the most heated of all the Senate hearings on Trump appointees. Gabbard is up for Director of National Intelligence, with her hearings scheduled this week.

Here, Glenn Greenwald reviews the growing Establishment attacks against Gabbard. Many of their complaints hinge on lies surrounding the whistleblower Edward Snowden as well as Section 702. That’s part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), allowing the federal government to spy upon foreign nationals without obtaining a warrant.

Why Dems Worship Cheney

Liz Cheney is living proof that women can be just as corrupt, as bloodthirsty, as incompetent, as violent and as vicious as any man. The former Republican Congresswoman from Wyoming, who served on the U.S. House Select Committee that investigated January 6th, Cheney has been a steadfast opponent of incoming President Donald Trump.

Must be why the Democrats adore her because she’s one of the most despicable elected officials you’ll ever find.

Here, Glenn Greenwald addresses the Democrats’ sick obsession, and what their adoration for Cheney says about their creepy party.

Verge Of Nuclear War

Permanent Washington decides nuclear war is preferable to Donald Trump. Glenn Greenwald joins Tucker Carlson to discuss the nihilism of our ruling class.

Russia announces on television which nations it will nuke first if a nuclear confrontation develops.  Most of the targets are scattered across Europe, primarily in eastern and central Europe.

They include the city of Prague and Ramstein Military Base, hosting U.S. Air Force troops in Germany. It serves as headquarters for the NATO Allied Air Command. Better bring out the war pigs! Here’s more from Nuclear Grifter.

Another Fake News Hatchet Job

Just how fake and corrupt has the corporate media become? Glenn Greenwald gives us a clue by digging into a hit piece published by New York Magazine, railing against a neuroscientist, Andrew Huberman, who has a popular podcast.

The article, written by Kerry Howley, rips into Huberman for his habit of dating lots of women and dumping them. He’s not married, so we’re not exactly sure why his dating habits matter at all.

But they do matter when you’ve got podcasts like Huberman’s, or Joe Rogan’s, that are eclipsing the tired, old leftist print media, i.e., the fake news. Here Greenwald gets into the real story behind the story, and how the fake news indulges in more trickery and fakery as its days are numbered.
