This is the third story this month about Deep Left politicians silencing right-wing politicians whom they see as a political threat. This is happening all over the world. This month in Moldova, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Brazil.
Brazil’s Supreme Court orders house arrest for Trump ally, former President Bolsonaro
Jair Bolsonaro is a threat to left and its values, including the left’s alliance with Islam. So it comes as no surprise that Bolsonaro is also a friend of the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel. He is popular among evangelicals, and has been denounced among leftists as a leader who is supposedly causing “Islamophobia” to grow since the Gaza war.
As he remains under house arrest, Bolsonaro is accused of violating “precautionary measures imposed on him by spreading content through his three lawmaker sons.” However, Bolsonaro’s lawyers argued “that the words he used did not reference the court or violate standing conditions.” The State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs backed Bolsonaro:
Last week, Trump imposed a 50 percent tariff on Brazil and sanctioned Moraes; Trump also called the trial of Bolsonaro a “witch hunt.”
The globalist left long ago began a war on free societies; that battle has never been waged more fiercely, especially since open-door immigration has allowed Western societies to be fully infiltrated by many who harbor hatred of the West.
Brazil’s Supreme Court orders house arrest for former President Bolsonaro, a Trump ally
by Maurico Savarese, Associated Press, August 5, 2025:
SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Supreme Court on Monday ordered the house arrest for former President Jair Bolsonaro, on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup plot to remain in office despite his defeat in the 2022 election — a case that has gripped the South American country as it faces a trade war with the Trump administration.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversees the case against Bolsonaro before the top court, said in his decision that the 70-year-old former president had violated precautionary measures imposed on him by spreading content through his three lawmaker sons.
Bolsonaro’s lawyers said in a statement that he will appeal the decision. They said his words “good afternoon, Copacabana, good afternoon my Brazil, a hug to everyone, this is for our freedom” — broadcast from a cell phone of one of his sons during a Sunday protest in Rio de Janeiro — cannot “be regarded as ignoring precautionary measures or as a criminal act.”
The trial of the far-right leader is receiving renewed attention after U.S. President Donald Trump directly tied a 50% tariff on imported Brazilian goods to his ally’s judicial situation. Trump has called the proceedings a ” witch hunt,” triggering nationalist reactions from leaders of all branches of power in Brazil, including President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Hours after the decision, the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs said on X that the Trump administration “condemns (de) Moraes’ order imposing house arrest on Bolsonaro and will hold accountable all those aiding and abetting sanctioned conduct.”
“Putting even more restrictions on Jair Bolsonaro’s ability to defend himself in public is not a public service. Let Bolsonaro speak!” the U.S. State Department body said.
Brazil’s government has not commented on the case.
