It's always been the case, and still very much is, that when Western neoliberals and the US Security State herald the importance of "democracy," what they mean is: "we get the rulers we want." "Fascism" means: they elected someone we dislike, so you must stay united behind us. — PolitiTweet.org

@honestsportz No, I do not. This bloated goon is a standard neoliberal defenders of Democratic Party politicians who happens to be an editor at @ForeignPolicy. https://t.co/ikcfBC9xmJ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the deputy editor of @ForeignPolicy, owned by the Graham family which sold the Post to Jeff Bezos. He does this constantly: he couldn't move off his couch let alone do anything meaningful or courageous, yet casually spews pedophilia and treason accusations. https://t.co/uAvQexc7P0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is 100% acceptable in left-liberal discourse to casually depict gay adversaries as pedophiles and groomers. It's why the NYT and its sources branded Matt Gaetz a child sex-trafficker for 1.5 years only for DOJ to refuse to indict. And it's their favored attack against me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the same editor of @ForeignPolicy who -- in response to @jessesingal complaining of numerous errors about him -- told Singal he was transphobic and thus got what he deserved. Yes, it's litigation material, but I doubt he'd make it through a trial https://t.co/02vgdkJhxL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And again, while liberals complain the Right maligns gay men as pedophiles and groomers, the reality is this is the primary weapon wielded by frighteningly bloated neoliberal operatives against gay men who dissent. Foreign Policy's editor casually calls us pedophiles. https://t.co/ZEnkBkgALS — PolitiTweet.org

One of the establishment cowards who yesterday claimed Snowden is a Kremlin spy -- Foreign Policy's @BeijingPalmer -- also implied I'm a pedophile I'd absolutely rather have Snowden's life - with his beautiful wife, 2 toddlers, bravery and a thriving career - than live as this: https://t.co/RDhdgZPFLd — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What's always struck me is the utter cowardice of establishment worms like this who accuse Snowden, Assange, and me of being Kremlin ops or whatever, but never have the courage to say that about the major mainstream outlets that published countless Top Secret docs from Snowden. https://t.co/16ZHHLDYdB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Beyond how gross it is that WPost -- which couldn't stop praising itself for its bravery for publishing Snowden docs in 2014 -- now maligns their own source. Almost every major media outlet -- NBC, NYT, HuffPost (it mattered back then), etc. -- fought to get these docs. — PolitiTweet.org

@apagliar A coisa sobre o impeachment de 2016: era tão óbvio que era uma fraude e uma farsa. Ninguém com poder sequ… https://t.co/qtI8yWBnfB — PolitiTweet.org

@klewerlourenco Concordo. — PolitiTweet.org

@everdias1986 Já vi esse truque muitas vezes nos EUA. A cada quatro anos, é: A ELEIÇÃO MAIS IMPORTANTE DE TODOS OS TEMPOS. A DEMOCRACIA ESTÁ NA LINHA. VOCÊ DEVE SE UNIR ATRÁS DO ESTABELECIMENTO NEOLIBERAL APENAS ESTA VEZ PARA SALVAR DEMOCRACIA. Você ouvirá as mesmas coisas até 2026. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@klewerlourenco Sem dúvida. Temer era Vice e Cunha era presidente da Câmara porque era assim que o PT fazia política - e ainda faz. Mas isso não torna o impeachment menos uma fraude e uma piada. Não poderia ter acontecido sem a Globo e os banqueiros e o establishment querendo. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@cryptoboy_GMI @dilmabr @felipeneto O processo de impeachment na Câmara foi liderado por Eduardo Cunha e seus milhões em bancos suíços. No Senado era liderado por Aécio. Maluf - e Globo - apoiaram o impeachment de Dilma. É preciso extrema ingenuidade para acreditar que foi motivado pela raiva com as "pedaladas". — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A grande mídia corporativa não mudou. Eles queriam que a eleição de 2014 fosse revertida pelo mesmo motivo que apoiam Lula agora: eles servem aos interesses do establishment. A parte da esquerda que passou 4 anos torcendo por Vera e Bonner e aquela turma vai ver isso em breve. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As pessoas, claro, lembram do @TheInterceptBr pelo #VazaJato e comprovando a fraude de Sergio Moro e LJ. Mas na verdade a fundei em 2016 porque fiquei chocado com a completa união da grande mídia corporativa em apoio ao impeachment de Dilma, quando era óbvio o que realmente era. https://t.co/Iy4emq9vl6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Dilma cometeu erros como presidente. Mas o campo PSDB/Globo/LJ nunca aceitou a derrota do Aécio, e explorou as dificuldades econômicas para tirar Dilma e instalar *Michel Temer* em nome da “anti-corrupção”: uma piada. Agora eles fingem se importar tanto com a "democracia". — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

O que foi feito com @dilmabr em 2016 – liderado pela própria mídia que um parte da esquerda agora admira – foi grotesco: a galera mais corrupta no Brasil revertendo a eleição de 2014, fingindo-se ofendido por "pedaladas". A grande mídia deveria fazer o que @FelipeNeto fez aqui. — PolitiTweet.org

@Limeyamerican @Kittfornow @socialrefusenik @brhodes @Snowden Snowden achieved more in his life -- and demonstrated more courage -- at the age of 29 than the vast majority of people demanding that he voluntarily submit to a US prison for the rest of his life would in 10 lifetimes. Don't malign other people's sacrifices; go make your own. — PolitiTweet.org

@Limeyamerican @Kittfornow @socialrefusenik @brhodes @Snowden Chelsea Manning "walks free" after she was abused and tortured in harsh prison conditions for 8 full years. It's very easy for people to casually demand others submit to the US penal system and put themselves in high-max security prisons for years or decades. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Limeyamerican @Kittfornow @socialrefusenik @brhodes @Snowden Daniel Ellsberg -- who has repeatedly called Snowden one of his greatest heroes -- explained in this WashPost op-ed why Snowden was absolutely right to flee the US, and how much has changed in the national security state since the Pentagon Papers. https://t.co/e7XXG7toZi — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Limeyamerican @Kittfornow @socialrefusenik @brhodes @Snowden Snowden has done multiple speaking engagements in the US and Europe. He wrote a NYT best-selling book. The reason he can't leave Russia is because the Obama DOJ indicted him under a 1917 espionage law which, by design, makes acquittal all but impossible. https://t.co/0sRQ0NLs7q — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@nycexpatmom @SkepticalTamara The worst part is the WPost's primary argument for opposing a pardon of their own source (an inherently disgusting thing to do) is that some Snowden docs were about spying on foreigners. But it was *The Post* itself that chose to publish those docs, sometimes angering Snowden. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Notice his title: it's extremely rare that CNN invites someone on to analyze the "news" who isn't a current or former high-ranking member of the US Security State. The CIA used to have complex means to clandestinely infiltrate US media. Now they do it out in the open. #StateTV — PolitiTweet.org

@AmorAlvinegro13 @demori @italonogueira_ @PDT_Nacional @cirogomes Pare de bancar a vítima. A maior parte do establishment está unida por trás de Lula e PT - de Geraldo Alckmin (que você quer tornar Vice) a FHC a Henrique Meirelles a Pastor Isidório ao setor bancário e grande parte da mídia Globo/Estadão (parabéns por Vera!). — PolitiTweet.org

@TomCruise_69 @theintercept @NaomiAKlein Those emails are among the most entertaining content to arrive in my emails. I'd never dream of unsubscribing. Watching that ship sink slowly but inexorably is art. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@demori @italonogueira_ @PDT_Nacional @cirogomes Eu sei. Não tenho dúvidas de que você vai criticar Lula e PT quando for necessário. Mas eles já criaram uma estrutura - quem se opõe ao fascismo tem a obrigação de não criticar Lula - que acho que vai perdurar mesmo depois da eleição, e isso é perigoso. — PolitiTweet.org
