I sat down with Brazilian congressman Marcel Van Hattem to talk about the growing censorship crisis in Brazil, political persecution under the Lula regime, and how the United States might be playing a disturbing role behind the scenes. Marcel explains how social media censorship, mass arrests after Brazil’s January 8th riots, and judicial overreach are silencing political opposition and threatening democracy. He also shares the shocking case of Felipe Martins, an innocent man imprisoned based on falsified travel records allegedly altered by U.S. officials and why Americans need to pay attention before it’s too late.
