All the little employees of media corporations who don't do any reporting - just tattling on powerless citizens to get them censored - and who are the leading advocates for censorship, predictably attacking @mtaibbi and scoffing at his real reporting: https://t.co/mLXJq0OrK7 — PolitiTweet.org

Put another way, it's almost inconceivable to imagine NBC News, CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post - let alone the shitty Brooklyn-based digital tabloids - to give voice to a single person to explain why these documents are so explosive and reveal grave corruption. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And, I'll bet anything, these extraordinary documents - showing the extreme pressure and collusion between liberal Twitter execs and Dem Party leaders to censor reporting on Biden - won't be reported by liberal outlets except to mock it and/or use DNC talking points to attack it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

More proof of the key and most-overlooked point on the controversy of Big Tech censorship: This is not being done autonomously by tech firms. The censorship is being coerced by the in-power Democratic Party, who explicitly wants more censorship online: https://t.co/PUjxrTB0VS — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In March, 2022 - almost 18 months after the election was over and the CIA, which invented this lie, got what it wanted: Biden's defeat - the NYT admitted the materials from the laptop were authentic and the story of how the NY Post obtained them was true: https://t.co/q4Uet1wuxG https://t.co/GcGa0b0vdm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Not only is there no evidence that the documents used by the NY Post were the by-product of "hacking" by Russia or anyone else -- Twitter's false excuse for banning discussion of the story -- the NYT has confirmed that the laptop was left and never picked up at the repair store: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'll be on Tucker Carlson's program tonight near the top of the show discussing the meaning of these obviously blockbuster documents. Following that, we'll go live on Rumble - roughly 8:30 pm ET - to discuss these documents. You can find us here: https://t.co/s9aL32RceK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These same entities -- CIA and corporate media -- were who manufactured and spread the lie justifying Big Tech censorship (the laptop was "Russian disinformation"). I know liberals have been trained to think any "Hunter Biden" mention is frivolous, but this obviously matters. https://t.co/mlZMtPpnYC — PolitiTweet.org

@bsr5115 No, of course I do not exempt humans from what I said. That's the reason my husband and I do as much work as we possibly can to support and provide the help all humans deserve, from the NGOs we created and run to acts in our personal life. Why would you exempt humans? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'll bet anything that both the US Security State and various employees and representatives of the corporate media -- to say nothing of the scam "disinformation industry" -- were involved in pressuring Twitter to censor the Biden laptop story right before the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HerderGreg @missiongirl4 I think the standard Elon cited - allowing everything that the First Amendment protects under Supreme Court law - is a great standard. Obviously, Twitter doesn't have to comply with that, but that's the standard he said he'd use. Kanye could never be prosecuted for what he said. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kristolnacht1 No, I just spent the last 3 hours with my kids and various friends watching and rooting for Brazil and will continue to do so until they win the tournament or lose. I think it's bad when politics infiltrates everything. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jimmijimmis LOL. They don't remotely suck this year. They just lost today because the game had no consequence and they played with their back-up unit. They're the clear favorites to win the tournament, for good reason. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Animals are one of the most beautiful and joy-providing things the earth and universe have produced. There's a reason animal videos spread so virally. We're so privileged to be able to be around them, and they deserve conscious and affirmative compassion in return. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Interesting NYT article on how many Brazilians -- for whom the World Cup has always been sacred -- are now having trouble rooting for the team given the vigorous support by Neymar and other players for Bolsonaro, and the perception the coach is a leftist: https://t.co/z4A424H5BF — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@hencough Fair enough. I put those tweets under it immediately but I can understand how one might read the first tweet that way in isolation. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@hencough Since the whole point of this thread is to say we can't be distracted from the question of why Kanye was banned and what it means about Musk's professed belief in free speech absolutism - and since my show is devoted to that question tonight - it quite clearly didn't work on me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@R1Machiavellian The after-show is designed to take and respond to audience critiques, questions, etc., and part of the show itself, for sure, will be to bring on people with whom I disagree. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@missiongirl4 Yes, "a majority of people" always support censorship of the views they find most repugnant. That's exactly why a First Amendment was needed: to ban majorities from punishing or prohibiting the views that "the majority of people" think should be banned. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Nobody believed the ACLU's Jewish leftists who defended the Nazis' right to march through Skokie (or Charlottesville) - or Chomsky when he defended a French Professor's right to question gas chambers - were Nazis. This is just a dumb, sleazy tactic used by censorship advocates. https://t.co/CyA8owrYGm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Our monologue tonight will examine this question of free speech and Twitter and broader themes - up tonight on Rumble. As Chomsky said here, the world's dumbest people can't process the distinction between 1) I oppose censorship of X and 2) I support X. https://t.co/vnLjsEBIE1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That said, as eager as I am to see these docs about Twitter's banning of the Biden story, the issue of what free speech principles now govern Twitter still matters. This was how Musk had defined his views. There's no viable argument Kanye broke the law: https://t.co/NWbcljho3Y — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This seems at least in part designed to get people to stop talking about Kanye's banning - and other accounts this week - in a way that seems at least arguably inconsistent with his stated principles. But I guess it worked on me, too, since I'm *very interested in seeing these: — PolitiTweet.org

@Paisano @DarrenJBeattie @khrafnsson @wikileaks I regard this as a very big story, but yes, sticking Assange in a high-security cage for 3 years, after first detaining him in a tiny embassy in London for a decade, definitely (by design) crippled WL and made its team more reluctant to deal with leaks: https://t.co/QZRDKvOeEU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'm thrilled to have sat down today with WikiLeaks' editor-in-chief @khrafnsson, as he travels through South America. He has met with and heard vocal support for Assange from the President of Colombia and President-elect of Brazil, Lula. Our interview with him will air shortly. https://t.co/Eqf1or9hVg — PolitiTweet.org

@doziertw There is very little movement in Brazil to try to undermine the transition of power. That can always change, but Bolsonaro's Congressman-son spent the week partying in Qatar, watching Brazil in the World Cup. There are some protests but little to no institutional movement. — PolitiTweet.org
