X closes operations in Brazil
X ^ | Aug 17 | X Global Affairs

Posted on 08/17/2024 9:10:26 AM PDT by RandFan

@GlobalAffairs

Last night, Alexandre de Moraes threatened our legal representative in Brazil with arrest if we do not comply with his censorship orders. He did so in a secret order, which we share here to expose his actions.

Despite our numerous appeals to the Supreme Court not being heard, the Brazilian public not being informed about these orders and our Brazilian staff having no responsibility or control over whether content is blocked on our platform, Moraes has chosen to threaten our staff in Brazil rather than respect the law or due process.

As a result, to protect the safety of our staff, we have made the decision to close our operation in Brazil, effective immediately.

The X service remains available to the people of Brazil. We are deeply saddened that we have been forced to make this decision. The responsibility lies solely with Alexandre de Moraes.

His actions are incompatible with democratic government. The people of Brazil have a choice to make - democracy, or Alexandre de Moraes. —

Sad what has happened to Brazil. Wasn’t long ago they had a decent leader, Jair Bolsonaro, Not perfect, but he wasn’t a tyrant.

Why are the Harkles hanging out with CIA assets in Columbia...?

Inquiring minds want to know.

“CANNOT EASILY SILENCE MUSK.”

Having a ton of FU money gives a lot of freedom and options.

And get a load of this one from a couple of days ago...

The UK’s Deep State and ours are turning the screws.

And those two loose screws in Columbia are aiding and abetting both our Deep States.

The EU was threatening to arrest Musk and I sure Biden or Harris would be more than happy to extradite him to the EU

Moraes is the dictator of Brazil according to a friend who lives there.

Don’t look now, but.... if the PTBs pushing the Harris/Walz commie duo manages to cheat a win this November, we’ll be seeing the same thing right here in the USA.

It’s... almost like it’s a “global thing”. (/s)

And....if we let them.... they’ll rewrite the history books to reflect their narrative vs. the actual truth, as usual. It’s how commies roll.

I think he has mentioned it. At least in the recent press conf. But yeah, keep hammering what the end result will be if we let the commies cheat a win again. It’s a ‘game over’ scenario if that happens.

“BOOK BURNING AROUND THE CORNER”

If the Marxists (Democrats) succeed in the takeover, Americans will have to burn their own books just to keep from freezing in the winter. It’s not like it hasn’t happened already in other communist nations in the past. And more recently, the dumpster diving in Venezuela... a formerly oil-wealthy nation. They destroy everything they get next to... if the people let them. Let’s not let them do it here.

The USC is already gutted and the administrative/deep state controls all aspects of our government. I don’t believe it will take that long for the effects of all their damage to trigger the dominoes...the looming one right now being war.

You and your wife would do well to make a list of actions to take when it all comes crashing down.

Survival will be defined by isolation - via individuals or groups - or, as I would prefer, offensive operations against the regime’s supporters (the latter given to conditions which make survival untenable).
