Originally published at: Musk Closes Business in Brazil after Censorship – Peak Prosperity
Society
Elon Musk announced that X (formerly Twitter) is closing its operations in Brazil immediately due to censorship orders from Brazilian judge Alexandre de Moraes, who allegedly threatened an X lawyer with arrest if they did not comply with secret orders to remove content. Despite multiple appeals to the Supreme Court and the Brazilian public being uninformed about these orders, X decided to shut down to protect its staff. Musk criticized de Moraes, calling him a disgrace to justice, and stated that the demands would force X to break multiple international laws. Earlier, de Moraes had ordered X to block certain accounts while investigating “digital militias” accused of spreading fake news and opened an inquiry into Musk for reactivating blocked accounts. Investigative journalist Michael Shellenberger reported that Brazil is undergoing a significant crackdown on free speech led by the Supreme Court, targeting members of Congress and journalists. Internal files revealed threats of fines and jail for noncompliance with censorship orders.
Politics
Documents released from the Butler County District Attorney’s office detail the security preparations by local police for a Trump rally in Butler, PA, where former President Trump was shot. The preparations included sniper teams, counter-assault teams, and a quick response force. Bodycam footage from the Butler Township Police Department of the July 13 shooting incident was also obtained. The documents include photos of the shooter, Matthew Crooks, who was killed by law enforcement snipers. Emails from Sgt. Edward Lenz of the Adams Township Police Department outline the coordination with the US Secret Service and other local law enforcement agencies to provide security for the rally. The FBI has refused to release records related to its coordination with the Secret Service for the rally, citing FOIA exemption 7(A), which protects information that could interfere with enforcement proceedings. The Secret Service has also denied FOIA requests for information on the shooting.
In a separate investigation, it was revealed that billionaire George Soros has spent approximately $117 million to elect and support liberal county prosecutors across the U.S. The Media Research Center (MRC) uncovered these details through a year-long investigation, revealing the influence of Soros-funded groups over local prosecutors. The MRC report highlights the role of the Fair and Justice Prosecution (FJP) nonprofit, which promotes a justice system based on fairness and equity. The report also notes that Soros has supported groups and causes related to racial justice and black empowerment, dedicating $220 million following George Floyd’s death.
Economy
David Hunter, a contrarian macro strategist, discussed the current economic environment on Palisades Gold Radio. He explained that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is primarily focused on its dual mandate of employment and inflation, and has been slow to react to inflation risks. Hunter predicts a significant market increase, with the S&P 500 potentially reaching 7,000, driven by lower interest rates and increased earnings, followed by a severe downturn in 2025. He anticipates a slow Fed response, eventually injecting up to $20 trillion to stabilize the system, leading to significant inflation. Hunter also predicts substantial gains for gold and silver before the downturn, advising investors to preserve capital and eliminate debt.
Doug Casey, in a separate discussion, emphasized the importance of relocating to safer regions to avoid economic and political turmoil. He criticized the current state of the U.S. economy, predicting a “greater depression” worse than the Great Depression, citing unsustainable government spending and sociopolitical instability. Casey highlighted the U.S. government’s financial mismanagement and warned of a collapse in the value of the dollar. He sees gold and silver as safe havens and expects their values to increase significantly. Casey advises considering relocation to countries like Argentina and Uruguay, which he views as safer and more stable.
