Brazil’s One-Man Censor May Decide Vote for President -

PRAY WITH US about Brazil’s one-man censor may decide vote. Father God, we glorify You as the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And You have given Your Son Jesus Christ all authority in heaven and on earth. Also, You establish every authority on earth for Your purposes. So do not allow this one so-called justice to usurp authority. Do not allow him to increase authority for his court. Or to use his authority to make false accusations against his opponents.

In the few days left before the presidential election, do not allow deception or skewing of results to stand. Shine Your light on the truth and expose hidden evildoing. Let people speak freely on social media in the marketplace of ideas. Because Your truth will shine brighter than any falsehoods or lies. So cause Your higher thoughts and higher ways to prevail in Brazil. And establish that president who will best align with Your good will for Brazil. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PRAYER ALERT: Brazil’s One-Man Censor May Decide Vote for President

Brazilian authorities have given one man sole authority to order removal of posts about the election. Who did they choose? Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Already he is fighting for a controversial increase of authority for his court. Already he has ordered investigations of presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro. And he has jailed some of Bolsanaro’s supporters for “attacks on the nation’s democratic institutions.”

What greater attack on democracy can they make than choosing a candidate’s clear enemy as censor? Once behind, Bolsonaro has drawn even in the polls and momentum is carrying him ahead. So just at this moment, days before the Oct. 30 election, they pull this naked power grab.

Now de Moraes has the sole power to order the takedown of posts from social networks. They must comply within two days or face takedown of their entire networks in Brazil. Pray that this shocking and horrible precedent utterly fails. And that voters around the world repudiate such brazen, tyrannical tactics to manipulate democracy.
