Lula’s rise is stirring tale of a man who only became literate at the age of ten, never finished secondary school, and climbed from skilled metalworker and union leader to four-term president. Yet the same man has held remarkably simplistic and disturbingly misinformed political opinions. In 1979 he named among his most admired historical figures Gandhi, Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, the Ayatollah Khomeini and Adolf Hitler, citing the last for his “determination.” He supported the Castro regime and, for a time, Chávez and Maduro. He gave a pass to the industrial-scale drug-smuggling routes into the United States. He bought into the left’s championship of extreme environmental views and made himself the chief spokesperson for the unutterable nonsense that Americans must pay billions in compensation for Amazon deforestation. He has clambered aboard almost any passing anti-American bandwagon joining BRICS and championing the Chinese currency while falling for the blood libel that Israel’s response to the Hamas massacre was genocidal. His verbal coziness with the criminal regime in Iran has been an unmitigated disgrace and is, in all respects, un-Brazilian. Foreign policy under Lula has been a succession of ludicrous posturing and farcical attempts, with the presidents of Turkey and Iran, to resolve complex problems that had nothing to do with Brazil. Brazil is one of the world’s most important countries and there is still room to hope that Lula's last turn will bring mature and well-considered policies. He should start by pardoning Jair Bolsonaro.

“Iran is the gas station of Xi Jinping.” Richard Miniter just claimed that Trump’s war in Iran is actually “designed to prevent a war” between China and Taiwan. And he told me that Chinese military documents argue for “war in Taiwan in 2027.” “That’s next year.” Iran, he says, provides China with “below market fuel, oil and natural gas.” “And it needs that fuel to maintain its economy.” “How would you prevent China from invading Taiwan and forcing the United States to fight across the vast and cold Pacific Ocean?” “If you take out their source of oil and natural gas and other energy products from Iran, it’s not able to have this war over here in Taiwan.” “You can prevent a war in the Far East by taking out a regime that deserves to go anyway, from the Trump perspective.” “I don’t think the American public has been presented with the global benefits of the Trump strategy.”

NEW PODCAST COMING SOON 🎙️ @JanJekielek joins Sam Tejada for one of AHPOV’s most serious conversations yet: the dark side of the longevity race. From allegations of forced organ harvesting and transplant tourism to medical consent, human rights, bioethics, AI, and transhumanism, this episode asks a question medicine cannot ignore: just because technology makes something possible, does that make it ethical? #AHealthyPointOfView# #SamTejada# #MedicalEthics# #HumanRights# #JanJekielek#

The CCP says its organ transplant system is reformed. This report found 19 transplant surgeons or center directors who are CCP members, 6 with senior Party posts at their hospitals. The Party secretary outranks the director. Who exactly is the claimed third-party check?

Aaron Siri just revealed the real reason why New York launched a massive legal attack on unvaccinated Amish communities. “These kids are healthy.” “They don’t suffer from any of the chronic diseases that plague American children.” “If this was about health, New York State should be looking at these kids as models and asking, why are they healthier?” “Why do these… Amish children not suffer from the chronic health conditions that are plaguing over 40% [of children] according to the CDC?” “Some data reflects even higher.” “This is up from under 10% of kids having a chronic health condition in America in the early ’80s.” “What’s changed?” “Maybe they should take a look at this community instead of trying to force upon them the same type of lifestyle that… has resulted in that increase.” @AaronSiriSG

“We do have spacecraft that… have either crashed or landed, and been retained in our possession.” “They’re made up of metallurgical substances that we don’t have on this planet.” “These aren’t drones.” “They are flown by non-human intellectual biologics.” Dr. Phil just revealed this bombshell allegation he was told by “credible sources” that he has “confidence in.” “I said, ‘Are we talking one or two?’” “And I’m told, ‘No, it’s more than 50.’” “I’m told that there are people that have seen cadavers of pilots.” “I’ve been told by some that we have had pilots that survived and were detained.” “I want to see them.” “And until I do, I don’t believe it.” @DrPhil

“This is one of the great heartbreaks in my life.” Peter Navarro says he had 65 million hydroxychloroquine tablets ready for distribution during COVID before opposition from Dr. Fauci and the FDA brought his efforts to a halt. He believes President Trump was headed for a landslide reelection before COVID, and that Dr. Fauci and major media outlets helped turn the pandemic into a political battle against him. “I literally had 65 million tablets of hydroxychloroquine that I was in the process of moving into the distribution channels.” “Those things were on the way when the hydroxy hysteria motivated by Dr. Fauci and implemented by the FDA hit and ground that to a halt.” “In his diary he says, ‘Use hydroxy. It’s safe. It’s worth trying it.’” “Prior to the pandemic hitting, President Trump was a shoo-in for a landslide victory.” “I think once the pandemic hit, the left realized, particularly the media, the CNNs, the MSNBCs, and all of that, they saw a vulnerability to blame Trump for the pandemic.” @RealPNavarro

The CCP has openly racist citizenship policies that claim authority over people it considers Chinese, even if they are citizens of another country. And Luke de Pulford says the world continues to tolerate it. “Most people don’t know that Chinese law regarding citizenship is fundamentally racist.” “Somebody who is born in China, let’s say they move to the United Kingdom and they have children in the United Kingdom.” “And their children’s children are born in the United Kingdom.” “Their children’s children’s children will still be regarded by the Chinese Communist Party as Chinese and they will claim dominion over them.” “They will reject whatever nationality they have been given and they will assert Chinese law over those people.” “It goes to the heart of the frankly ethno-nationalism of the Chinese Communist Party.” “Totally extraordinary that the rest of the world just allows it.” @lukedepulford

BREAKING: Pastor Ezra Jin has been RELEASED from Chinese prison and reunited with his family in America after being detained and imprisoned by Chinese police for over 260 days. What excellent news, coinciding with the momentous 250th anniversary of America! Congratulations to Ezra, Grace, and the rest of their family, and a huge kudos to the diplomats and everyone else that made this happen.

Just landed back in DC for America 250… but my mind is still blown from what I uncovered in Taiwan. Next week at FreedomFest in Las Vegas I’m dropping major new revelations on the CCP’s killed-to-order organ harvesting system — details I learned on the ground in Taipei. I'll be speaking July 10th at 10AM. I'd love to see you there. If you’re coming, don’t wait—ticket prices are jumping tomorrow. Use special code EPOCH100 for $100 off.

“They are at war with us whether we realize we’re at war with them or not.” Former Ambassador and Senator Sam Brownback says China must start respecting human rights or forfeit its leadership in the world. “We’re always best when we stand on principles.” “One of them is religious freedom, that everybody’s entitled to do with their own soul what they see fit.” “We should take that message directly to the Chinese Communist Party.” “You signed the UN Declaration of Human Rights … stand by it.” “Do it, or you forfeit your leadership in the world.” @samuelbrownback, author of “China’s War on Faith”

Ambassador Samuel Brownback just delivered a plea to President Trump amid his trip to Beijing: “I think President Trump needs to bring into the White House people that have been persecuted for their faith from China.” “Bring in individuals from Falun Gong, and Tibetan Buddhists, and Christians, and Muslims.” “Bring in world religious leaders.” “Showcase what is taking place in so many places around the world of religious persecution, particularly China, and ask them to stand against this and for religious freedom for everybody, everywhere, all the time.” “I think he should present to Xi Jinping the nine Catholic bishops that are held somewhere, we don’t know where, in prison, and ask that they be released.” “Call for the end of these three genocides that are taking place in China.” “I think we ought to send the Secretary of State, the Vice President, one of the two, to Dharamshala, India, for substantive talks with the Dalai Lama about the future of Tibet.” “I think [President Trump] ought to do a Ronald Reagan and say, ‘this is an evil regime.’” @samuelbrownback
