🚨 EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: U.S. ENVOY REVEALS SECRET PEACE TALKS BETWEEN HEZBOLLAH, ISRAEL, SYRIA & LEBANON He just met with Netanyahu, Al-Sharaa, Aoun, and Berri – arguably the 4 most consequential figures currently shaping the Middle East conflict.

He says everyone claims they want peace, but most are still trapped by tribal wounds, distrust, and ghosts of wars past. In this no-notes conversation, Barrack breaks his silence on: * Whether Hezbollah will disarm * If Lebanon is quietly drifting toward civil war * Whether Israel truly wants peace – or territorial expansion * Iran’s role, the real risk of regime collapse in Syria, and why time is running out He doesn’t dodge.

🚨🇧🇷 EXCLUSIVE w/ EDUARDO BOLSONARO: TRUMP STANDS UP TO BRAZIL’S WAR ON FREEDOM - HOW A PRESIDENT BECAME THE TARGET “Mario, if you come to Brazil, you’ll be arrested at the airport.” That's the warning of Brazil’s most-voted Congressman, son of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, who now lives in exile facing 20+ years in prison. His father, PRESIDENT less than 3 years ago and ally to Trump, is under house arrest, silenced, and barred from media, facing years in prison and banned from running again for President. In this interview, Eduardo Bolsonaro says Brazil is no longer a democracy, accusing Justice Alexandre de Moraes of running a censorship regime backed by Biden admin funding, jailing and silencing opponents. He reveals: • His father is under house arrest with an ankle monitor. • His and his wife’s assets have just been frozen. • He faces charges for joining my X Space. • Biden admin funded the very censorship silencing Brazilians. I saw it firsthand: When I interviewed Fmr President Jair Bolsonaro, my livestream was blocked in Brazil. When I interviewed Eduardo, Brazil slapped me - @npub13vqw...9f44 and @Elon Musk - with a Federal investigation. But Trump's administration is not sitting this one out. Earlier this month, Trump hit Brazil with 50% tariffs over “political persecution” and sanctioned Justice Alexandre de Moraes. The fight isn’t over, and the world is watching. – “Justice De Moraes wants to jail my father. He wants to jail me.” – “Fake news isn’t even a defined crime in Brazil.” – Twitter Space participants investigated, accounts banned. – “Trump sanctioned Brazil. de Moraes answered with house arrest.” – “𝕏 was banned during local elections. It was a test run.” – DOJ blocked de Moraes from extraditing a U.S. citizen for posting on 𝕏. – Eduardo: “I face 20+ years in prison for denouncing human rights abuse.” – Elderly protestors sentenced to 17 years in prison. – “A woman got 14 years for writing ‘You lost. Shut up’ in lipstick.” – “Trump is cleaning up the mess Biden created in Brazil.” – “I can’t talk to my father. We’re banned from communicating.” – “Congress is silent. de Moraes threatens their families.” – “Even NYT and The Economist criticize him. No one defends him.” – “We’ll pass the amnesty bill. That’s how we take democracy back.” – “I’ll run in 2026 if my father can’t.” View quoted note →
