The ultimate goal is to tarnish their reputations and limit their reach. The speaker, who has experienced this firsthand, is planning to sue these entities to defend his name and expose their alleged bad faith dealings. This is not just an isolated incident, as Elon Musk is also facing similar treatment from the same groups. The speaker encourages others to be aware of this trend and understand that speaking out and being successful can make one a target. The good news is that the tactics are starting to backfire, and the truth is coming to light.

Elon Musk and others have spoken out against this, highlighting the importance of standing by friends and supporting those who take on difficult fights. The cases of Jones and others serve as reminders of the need to protect individual rights and resist efforts to divide and conquer.
Corporate media's failed attempts to discredit alternative voices: Despite media's efforts to discredit, alternative voices like Steven Crowder, Alex Jones, and Tucker Carlson have grown in popularity due to their authenticity and truthful messages, while media's gatekeeping tactics are now seen as jokes due to past mistakes and lack of credibility.

The speakers' popularity and truthful messages have attracted large audiences, making them influential figures. The media's gatekeeping tactics are now a joke, as they have been exposed for their past mistakes, including the Iraq War and the handling of the border crisis. The public's support for these alternative voices is a testament to their authenticity and the people's desire for freedom. The corporate media's attacks are seen as endorsements rather than damaging hit pieces. The speaker also shared personal experiences of being recognized and supported by fans, regardless of their location or background. Overall, the corporate media's power has significantly diminished, and the people's connection to alternative voices is stronger than ever.
The Danger of Silence or Acceptance of Attacks on Controversial Figures: The left's attacks on controversial figures may not be effective, but the real danger lies in the silence or acceptance of these attacks from those on the right. Globalist agendas pose a significant threat, and divisive tactics should not be underestimated. Leaders must stay strong and focused to address deep-rooted issues like the criminal deep state.
The left's attacks on controversial figures like Alex Jones may not be effective, but the real danger lies in the silence or acceptance of these attacks from those on the right. The threat of globalist agendas is a significant issue, as seen in the actions of leaders like Justin Trudeau. The power of divisive tactics, such as those used by Trudeau and his allies, should not be underestimated. When it comes to addressing deep-rooted issues like the criminal deep state, it's essential for leaders to stay strong and focused, even in the face of adversity. In the case of Trump, his newfound understanding of the challenges he faces has made him a formidable figure. However, the road to change will be long and difficult, requiring the unwavering support of the American people.
Government Control of Media and Censorship: Governments and tech companies can freeze bank accounts, revoke passports, and deplatform individuals for expressing certain views. Alternative platforms like Rumble are crucial for free speech, and it's important for individuals to support each other and not be silenced.

In Brazil, there is a Supreme Court justice named Marias who has been accused of corruption and abusing his power. He has ordered investigations into individuals, arrested businessmen based on WhatsApp messages, jailed people without trial for social media posts, and even tried to censor platforms like Rumble and Telegram. Marias has also targeted journalist Paulo Figueredo, revoking his passport, freezing his bank accounts, and censoring his social media for having an unacceptable point of view. This raises concerns about the rule of law and freedom of speech in Brazil. The situation is particularly alarming given Marias' position in the Brazilian court system, as he is currently serving two roles, including the presidency of the electoral court.

"Eso" means "that's right," "aye" means "again, that's good," and "cheech poja" translates to "shit," but in the context of Jujitsu, it means "don't do that" or "bad move." Figueredo encourages anyone interested in Jujitsu to come train with him in South Florida. He grew up in Rio, Brazil, where Jujitsu became popular, and the term "poha" is used frequently, similar to how Americans use the "f-word." However, Figueredo clarified that "poha" means "sperm" in this context, which was an unexpected revelation. Figueredo was once a journalist on mainstream media in Brazil but does not have a current relationship with Alexandre de Moraes, the de facto dictator of results at the center of the controversy.
Brazilian Political Commentator's Experience with Censorship during Lula's Election: A former Brazilian political commentator faced censorship during Lula's election, with Supreme Court Justice Marais reportedly playing a significant role.

The speaker emphasizes the severe censorship and lack of accountability in the Brazilian media, which is even worse than in the US.
Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Moraes wields significant power: Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Moraes holds power to revoke passports, freeze bank accounts, and deplatform critics, due to left-leaning majority and foreign support.
In Brazil, Supreme Court Justice Moraes holds significant power, which has led to the revocation of passports, freezing of bank accounts, and deplatforming of individuals who criticize him or the institutions he represents. This power is due in part to the fact that nine out of the eleven justices on the Supreme Court were appointed by the left, giving them a strong majority. Additionally, global support for Moraes, including interference from foreign entities like the United States, has bolstered his position. The dynamic between Lula, a former president, and Moraes, a Supreme Court justice, is reminiscent of the relationship between Biden and his allies who appointed Moraes. The left in Brazil has used this power to silence criticism and label it as an attack on democracy and spreading misinformation. Despite this, Lula's policies, which are often anti-American, raise questions about why the Biden administration supports him.

Figueredo also highlighted the importance of upholding checks and balances against corruption, which is a core American value, but is under attack by those who falsely claim to support it. Figueredo's experience of being banned from certain platforms for expressing his views, but still receiving support from his audience, illustrates the importance of standing up for free speech and taking a moral stand, even in the face of potential backlash.
