30 Oct 2022 – The rapid escalation of online censorship, and increasingly offline censorship, cannot be overstated. The silencing tactic that has most commonly provoked attention and debate is the banning of particular posts or individuals by specific social media platforms.

Glenn Greenwald | Substack – TRANSCEND Media Service,
28 Mar 2022
27 Mar 2022 – The central question from the start of the war in Ukraine was what role, if any, should the U.S. government play in it?

14 Jul 2020 – Growing up as a gay child in South Florida in the late 1970s and into the dark 1980s era of Reagan and AIDS, my childhood hero was the tennis star Martina Navratilova. In 1975, at the age of 18, Navratilova fled Communist Czechoslovakia, leaving her entire family behind in a daring escape, to emigrate to the U.S. In the 1980s, she became one of the only openly gay celebrities in the world, an LGBT and feminist pioneer, and an outspoken political dissident.

The Far-Right Bolsonaro Movement Wants Us Dead. But We Will Not Give Up
Glenn Greenwald and David Miranda – The Guardian,
3 Feb 2020
29 Jan 2020 – Courage is contagious. Those are the people who inspire us and so many like us in Bolsonaro’s Brazil who are confronting state repression to defend the democracy that so many people suffered so much to bring about. Demagogues and despots like Bolsonaro are a dime a dozen. They centrally rely on intimidation, fear and the use of state repression to consolidate power. A refusal to give into that fear, but instead to join hands with those who intend to fight against it, is always the antidote to this toxin.

Glenn Greenwald – The Intercept,
27 May 2019
22 May 2019 – Among the planet’s significant political figures, no one is quite like Lula. Born into extreme poverty, illiterate until the age of 10, forced to quit school at the age of 12 to work as a shoe shiner, losing a finger at his factory job at 19, and then becoming a labor activist, union leader, and founder of a political party devoted to a defense of laborers (the Workers’ Party, or PT), Lula has always been, in all respects, the exact opposite of the rich, dynastic, oligarch-loyal, aristocratic prototype that has traditionally wielded power in Brazil.

Sim, ele foi o presidente que mais combateu a pobreza, a desigualdade, que mais criou universidades e programas para obsessivamente acabar com a fome no Brasil. A vida das pessoas melhorou.

Em pouco tempo de mandato, Temer já perdeu cinco ministros por escândalos, mas as mais novas controvérsias são as mais graves até o momento.

Ce faisant, le Washington Post a réalisé un exploit ignominieux dans l’histoire des médias US : être le premier journal à avoir explicitement demandé des poursuites pénales contre sa propre source – sur le dos de qui le journal a remporté et accepté avec empressement un Prix Pulitzer du Service Public. Mais encore plus stupéfiant que cet acte de trahison journalistique contre la propre source du journal sont les arguments avancés pour le justifier.

23 Sep 2016 – Speaking to a group of U.S. business and foreign policy elites, the country’s installed president, Michel Temer, admitted that what triggered the impeachment process was not any supposed “budgetary crimes,” but rather Dilma’s opposition to the neoliberal platform of social program cuts and privatization demanded by Temer’s party and the big-business interests that fund it.

9 Aug 2016 – Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders yesterday denounced in harsh terms the impeachment of Brazil’s democratically elected president. As the Brazilian Senate heads toward a final vote later this month, Sanders described his position as “calling on the United States to take a definitive stand against efforts to remove Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff from office.” He added: “To many Brazilians and observers the controversial impeachment process more closely resembles a coup d’état.”

Uma coisa é a mídia plutocrática brasileira incentivar e incitar abertamente a queda de um governo democraticamente eleito. De acordo com a RSF, esse comportamento representa uma ameaça direta à democracia e à liberdade de imprensa. Mas é muito diferente testemunhar a fabricação de manchetes e narrativas falsas insinuando que uma grande parte do país apoia o indivíduo que tomou o poder de forma antidemocrática, quando isso não é verdade.

• Dados de pesquisa ocultados pela Folha mostram que a grande maioria dos eleitores quer a renúncia de Temer, o que contradiz categoricamente a matéria da Folha
• 62% dos brasileiros querem a renúncia de Dilma e Temer, e a realização de novas eleições: ao contrário dos 3% inicialmente mencionados pela Folha
• Dados cruciais da pesquisa foram publicados e, em seguida, retirados do ar pelo datafolha: encontrados por portal brasileiro
• Resposta do Diretor Executivo da Folha de São Paulo de que os dados ocultados não eram “jornalisticamente relevantes” não resiste a análise
Brazil’s Largest Newspaper Commits Major Journalistic Fraud to Boost Interim President Temer
Glenn Greenwald and Erick Dau – The Intercept,
25 Jul 2016
It’s one thing for Brazil’s plutocratic media to openly incite and agitate the fall of a democratically elected government. As Reporters Without Borders found, that behavior poses a direct threat to both democracy and press freedom. But it’s quite another to watch as they simply manufacture headlines and false narratives to suggest that a large portion of the country supports the individual who seized power undemocratically when they plainly do not.

• Polling data concealed by Folha shows a large majority want Temer to resign: directly contradicting Folha’s key claim
• 62 percent of Brazilians want Dilma and Temer to quit and new elections held: not 3 percent as Folha stated
• Incriminating data was published, then unpublished, by Datafolha: discovered yesterday by a Brazilian website
• Response from Folha’s executive editor — they withheld data that was not “journalistically relevant” — cannot withstand scrutiny

Elio Gaspari, importante colunista da Folha de São Paulo, maior jornal brasileiro, escreveu na terça-feira [28 junho] – sob o título “Há Golpe” – que, à luz deste novo relatório, o Impeachment de Dilma é um golpe no sentido de que é realizado sem eleições: por “estratagemas” através de “práticas ardilosas”. Enquanto isso, o partido de Temer, PMDB, é virtualmente o mais corrupto deste hemisfério.

Apenas 20 dias após assumir o poder, provas irrefutáveis do envolvimento do Presidente interino Michel Temer em escândalos de corrupção vieram à tona. Dois ministros interinos de seu gabinete composto apenas de homens brancos, incluindo o Ministro da Transparência, foram forçados a abandonar seus cargos depois do aparecimento de gravações secretas em que conspiram visando obstruir as investigações nas quais se encontram envolvidos, assim como 1/3 dos ministros do gabinete interino.

A mere 20 days into the seizure of power by the corruption-implicated “interim” President Michel Temer, overwhelming evidence has emerged: Already, two of the interim ministers in his all-white-male cabinet, including his anti-corruption minister, have been forced to resign after the emergence of secret recordings showing them plotting to obstruct the ongoing Car Wash investigation (in which they, along with one-third of his cabinet, are personally implicated).

Em lugar de se comportar de forma subjugada, conformada ou derrotada, Dilma – presa e torturada por três anos pela ditadura militar que governou o país com o apoio dos EUA por 21 anos – está mais firme, combativa e determinada do que nunca.

On Tuesday [17 May], I spoke to President Rousseff in the presidential palace for her first interview since being suspended. The 22-minute interview, conducted in Portuguese with English subtitles, is below. Rather than subdued, resigned, and defeated, Rousseff — who was imprisoned and tortured for three years in the 1970s by the U.S.-supported military dictatorship that ruled the country for 21 years — is more combative, defiant, and resolute than ever.

Our co-founder Glenn Greenwald has written blistering critiques of the political turmoil from Rio de Janeiro, where he has lived for 11 years. “They are literally dismantling — crushing — democracy in the world’s fifth-largest country,” he writes.

O sucessor será o Vice-Presidente Michel Temer, do PMDB. Ele está submerso em corrupção: foi acusado por delatores de envolvimento em um esquema ilegal de compra de etanol, acaba de ser considerado culpado, e multado, por irregularidades nos gastos de campanha, e enfrenta a possibilidade de ficar inelegível por 8 anos. Ele é profundamente impopular: apenas 2% dos brasileiros o apoiariam como presidente, e quase 60% querem seu impeachment. Mas ele servirá fielmente aos interesses dos ricos do Brasil.
