"The agent, the judge, the STASI, and the Wall..." (AI-AFPP) 

 By Antonio Fernando Pinheiro Pedro

More than a legal misstep, what unfolds behind the scenes of Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court (STF) is a direct affront to Christian morality and the Rule of Law.

If Saint Matthew returned to Earth and saw what the press revealed, he’d likely call this scandal “the work of Satan.”

Role Confusion and Legal Violations

Minister Alexandre de Moraes, juggling posts in both the STF and Brazil’s Electoral Court (TSE), conducted investigations with no regard for impartiality or recusal protocols. His offices operated like a shadow institution, blending electoral jurisdiction with criminal investigation, entirely disregarding constitutional and legal limits.

Aides acted “creatively,” fishing for evidence and building incriminating narratives based on hunches and personal bias. Documents were tampered with, informal operations launched, and legal objectivity gave way to moods and grudges.

In effect, the STF’s “disinformation combat apparatus” served as the foundation for converting the Minister’s “dual office” into a Brazilian spin on the feared STASI.

What Was the STASI?

The Stasi was East Germany’s secret police, active from 1950 to 1990. It’s considered one of the world’s most effective and repressive systems, spying on citizens, infiltrating private groups, and applying psychological torture to silence dissenters. Its aim: complete Communist control over society.

The structure revealed in Brazil, while less formal, replicates similar methods of surveillance, censorship, and political persecution.

Brazil’s STASI: Parallel Justice and Informal Intelligence

Journalists David Ágape and Eli Vieira uncovered new information in the wake of the “Vaza Toga” case—initially triggered by files handed to Glenn Greenwald and now renewed through reports published on Civilization Works, Michael Shellenberger’s platform.

Their findings indicate that Moraes personally oversaw a task force operating from his office. The goal: compile reports on specific targets using social media posts and private group chats as sources.

Files show a “parallel intelligence cabinet” investigating the events of January 8, 2023, and shielding the regime’s hunger for persecution. It operated within the TSE, with employees scanning detainees’ online activity and issuing “positive certificates” based on vague posts.

These certificates classified criticism of the STF or President Lula as criminal evidence—justifying arbitrary arrests and harassment.

Activists, universities, and fact-checking agencies infiltrated private groups, all under Moraes’ direct coordination.

"Positive Certificate" - issued to "support the arrest of coup supporters."Reason?
"Social media profile on Twitter, with old posts expressing aversion to Lula and the Workers' Party."

The Federal Police as Political Enforcers

The Federal Police (PF) played a key role. Staff received informal detainee lists directly from PF sources—no formal custody chain. Sensitive data was shared outside legal channels, and federal agents acted as the regime’s enforcement wing.

It appears this use of the PF was intended to sideline the military’s role in national intelligence—weakening their autonomy and neutralizing independent oversight.

A Failed Project: The Power Play’s Collapse

Moraes’ STF project, backed by Lula and allies, had a clear goal: weaponize the law to suppress conservative leaders, remove Bolsonaro from the political landscape, and, ultimately, imprison him.

With Brazil under control, they would push an ideological plan to align the country with authoritarian regimes—turning it into a “Bolivarian republic,” a “Chinese colony,” tied closely to Iran, Russia, Cuba, and other dictatorships.

This socialist/communist dream envisioned by Lula and fellow PT members resembled a pre-Berlin Wall dystopia, Orwellian in nature, enabling the subjugation of the marginalized—endorsed by the globalist left, including FHC, Doria, Alckmin, and with overt support from Obama, Soros, Clinton, and others.

The problem? It didn’t work. Once exposed, the plan collapsed.

The public held firm. Distrust in the regime persisted. Bolsonaro retained massive popular support, and his arrest became a poorly written soap opera chapter.

The Magnitsky sanction on Moraes shattered any remaining credibility—both for him and the Supreme Court establishment.

With “Vaza Toga 2.0,” democratic forces from the West have joined international proceedings—like Rumble/Trump’s case in the U.S.—tightening the net around Brazil’s legal autocracy.

The dream of leftist domination clashed with U.S. interests. Washington made it clear: another Venezuela won’t be allowed in their backyard.

More than that: geopolitically, the U.S. set limits on Chinese influence, and China won’t advance if exposed.

The portrait of subservience. Need it say more?

Geopolitical Shock: U.S. Action and the System’s Unmasking

The U.S. sanction against Moraes caused institutional shockwaves. For the first time, a foreign power officially recognized the persecutory, authoritarian nature of a Brazilian Supreme Court minister’s actions.

The message: Brazil’s judiciary has crossed the line. It’s now seen as a laboratory for globalist lawfare—where judicial repression becomes a political weapon.

The American action unmasks the system and poses a dilemma: Either Brazil restores the Rule of Law, or it entrenches itself as a robed republic ruled by inquisitorial judges and propped up by political police.

Popular demonstration on August 3, 2025, in the city of São Paulo, in support of Jair Bolsonaro and against Lula and Judge Moraes. Similar demonstrations were held in several other capitals and cities in the interior of Brazil.

Cynicism and Legal Amnesia

This system defies logic. Formality was erased. Moraes refused to release detainees even after a recommendation from the Attorney General, insisting his team scour social media for compromising content.

The Judeo-Christian morals foundational to Brazilian law were dismissed. The cross atop the STF, symbol of justice and humility, seems invisible to those who see themselves as infallible.

Institutional cynicism became the method. Lawlessness became law. Honesty was a pretext. Democracy, a target.

Conclusion: The Hour of Truth

What’s been revealed is of immense gravity—and unacceptable in any democracy. Congress, especially the Senate, must heed the public’s outcry. The time for action is now.

It’s time to take to the streets, demand deep investigation, and reclaim the Christian and Western values that underpin our Republic.

God save Brazil.
