For years, US officials and their media allies denounced China, Russia and Iran as despotic for conditioning the ability of Big Tech platforms to maintain access to their countries on their willingness to censor. Now, the US Security State has done exactly that with TikTok. https://t.co/AaE6e4dXGL — PolitiTweet.org

Fox hosts are vastly more critical of top GOP politicians than NBC/MSNBC/CNN hosts are of leading Dem politicians, but because - in their closed information bubble - it's the right who are "cultists," they have no idea this is true and can't believe it even when you show them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

NBC journalists and a bunch of their liberal followers shocked and confused Fox allows @TulsiGabbard to aggressively and adversarially interview a GOP politician because that never happens with a Dem politician in their world and they don't want it to. It makes no sense to them: — PolitiTweet.org

Starting, live, in 2 minutes: We'll review what we regard as our most important stories of the year, to see the thematic themes and common dynamics driving them, to understand better what happened in 2022 and to anticipate 2023: https://t.co/rGNCLJ1U1P — PolitiTweet.org

To his credit, I suppose, Harris tries to be candid about what he really thinks and the rationale for it. He thus described the overarching view of the elite political/media class: anything - lying, censorship, authoritarianism - is justified if used to defeat Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I genuinely regard this Sam Harris clip from August - where he admits he viewed *anything* as justifiable to stop Trump - as one of the most important of 2022. For our @SystemUpdate_ tonight reviewing the key stories of 2022 - starting in 15 minutes - we're beginning with this. — PolitiTweet.org

@zrahul2020 @unclecaviar I wouldn't think it'd be that weird for a journalist to save things that a world leader has said about their reporting, but in this case, I didn't. Do these people not know about the ease of searching tweets on Twitter or the internet generally? https://t.co/J8sDLXD4gy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unclecaviar Right, but what about all the things that I just showed you that Lula said? How are you rationalizing this to yourself? Is he, too, a useful idiot for hidden interests? Is he lying the way you said Jacobin lied? Is he misinformed about his own life and in need of your guidance? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nathanhjb I know that lack of integrity is disqualifying. That's exactly what I'm advocating that Adam Schiff be removed from the House Intelligence Committee as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight at 7pm ET live, we'll broadcast our last @SystemUpdate_ of 2022. We'll be back at our regular time on Monday, January 2. For tonight's show, we'll examine what we regard as the most important stories we covered in 2022 and the themes they reveal: https://t.co/rGNCLJ1U1P — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unclecaviar Have you ever explained your theory to Lula that this isn't what happened, since he clearly seems to think that is what happened, as his repeated statements, below, demonstrate? Tell him you're a brave anonymous American Communist who has come to help him see the truth.✊ https://t.co/1rq2H0jMaQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@glooshed @unclecaviar How can you be so stupid? Reporting isn't "words." We published documents showing severe corruption by the lead judge and lead prosecutors in Lula's case as well as many others, leading the Supreme Court to overturn his conviction, allowing him to run. https://t.co/mxyzrVqTGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheMajorityUSA @AdamSchiff He asserted as fact that Russia was responsible for the production of the materials on Hunter Biden's laptop and that those materials were "disinformation," a claim that virtually every major media outlet has now acknowledged is false. Many, many others. https://t.co/HEMtCD2yym — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Pelosi-led Dems not only created that brand new precedent, but also created this one by rejecting GOP's nominees to be on 1/6 Committee. As always, Dems never imagine their new precedents will be used against them: https://t.co/Ke6kW6uxjh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How many days until Adam Schiff - the most compulsive liar and the most authoritarian member of Congress -- is finally stripped of his position as senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, using this new precedent created by Pelosi-led Dems? https://t.co/ZVKTEAbvI8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@unclecaviar You mean aside from things like this? https://t.co/Te7MZDwy5o — PolitiTweet.org

@EiverMecktun Agreed. Lisbon is an amazing city. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's always so weird when he talks about transportation since it happens so rarely and then you remember: "oh yeah, he's Secretary of Transportation." It's like when you have to find a place to stick a big donor who wants to be an Ambassador so you say: "eh, why not Portugal?" — PolitiTweet.org

@fitzysfitz @consent_factory One of the most pathetic thing liberals like you do is see gay men and reduce us to our sexual orientation, and tell us our political preferences must be based solely or primarily on gay issues. I'm many things besides "gay man" and have many, many interests and issues beyond 🌈. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@consent_factory I'm not exactly sure what all of your views are so I'm not claiming I espoused all of them. But if you watch those interviews I did in April, 2020 with Snowden and (then) Andray Domise, you'll see the key point was: the pandemic is being weaponized to destroy liberties. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SenhorRomanelas Venho defendendo a liberdade de expressão - tanto como advogado quanto como jornalista - há décadas. Meu desprezo pelo estabelecimento sempre impulsionou meu trabalho. O campo bolsonarista confundiu minha reportagem sobre os graves problemas com Moro e a LJ com lealdade a Lula. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Key questions directly affecting the public health -- are cloth masks effective? do the harms of lockdowns outweigh the benefits? should schools be closed? is it moral to mandate vaccines? do vaccines stop transmission? -- were suppressed, acceptance of official decrees required. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A vital historical question - what was the genesis of COVID - was barred from being debated due to that conflict-laden @TheLancet letter: one of science's greatest disgraces. Big Tech allowed debate only once the Biden WH admitted the answer was unknown: https://t.co/qIM27gGSXl — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Why do people think they can so brazenly distort events in order to minimize them? This isn't what happened at all. For a full year, people - including scientists - were banned from the internet's key platforms for questioning establishment decrees on this novel COVID pandemic: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ninakrauser Todos os déspotas - tanto na história quanto hoje - justificam a censura de seus inimigos alegando que o discurso deles é "perigoso" demais para permitir. O que nunca entendi sobre a esquerda brasileira é por que vcs assumem que, um dia, esse sistema não será usado contra vcs. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In 2018, I met with a writer who told me of a NYC event he did: He read stories from Auschwitz and the US border, then asked the audience to guess which was which. "They couldn't," he solemnly said. Nothing changed, but they lost interest on 1/20/21: https://t.co/aZRQ6twGLt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

2 pontos-chave sobre censura da internet (inclusive por monopólios dos EUA): 1) Não é esquerda x direita, mas pró-establishment x anti. Os silenciados são aqueles que se opõem ao establishment. 2) A censura é *sempre* para proteger os poderosos e silenciar os marginalizados. https://t.co/D206TzzASt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@consent_factory I very obviously mean - and clearly stated - that these are questions that *should have been* devoid of politics. I then expressly stated what you claim I'm not allowed to recognize: that, instead, all of this was weaponized for political ends. And I spoke of this from the start. https://t.co/nOTiA2zqWN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NeilBoydSFU You didn't review the broadcast we produced nor the empirical evidence we assembled to demonstrate the point. You instead just assumed a posture of superior sophistication, decreeing who is and isn't serious, all while spouting Twitter clichés, having no idea what you denounced. — PolitiTweet.org
