Watching Biden escalate the decades-long love affair between Washington and the murderous despots in Riyadh should forever dispel these myths, and prove the actual motives that drive the US role in the world, both generally and in the war in Ukraine. https://t.co/UDCOhIn41O — PolitiTweet.org

What cogent moral defense is there for buying more Saudi oil to avoid Russian oil? How is it remotely sensible to exclude oil-rich Venezuela from a regional conference while hugging the Saudis, Egyptians and Emiratis? Why isn't it preferable to drill in the US than buy Saudi oil? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This cognitive dissonance – the US/UK claiming to fight wars to protect democracy and fight despotism, while they simultaneously embrace and partner with the world's worst tyrants – only works in the Western press. The rest of the world scornfully laughs at this fairy tale. https://t.co/cxtxdcIpVx — PolitiTweet.org

Few presidents were as devoted to strengthening Saudi tyranny as Obama. He lavished them with weapons and intelligence technology to destroy Yemen, and monitor and crush internal dissent. Yet the media barely batted an eye when he sermonized about freedom and fighting tyranny. https://t.co/sgSV7iWJS1 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's most vehement critics were Biden and Harris, who vowed to make Saudis "pariahs." Biden immediately abandoned that pledge, increased support for the Riyadh despots, and will now travel on his knees to them. The US/Saudi partnership shows the core deceit of U.S. propaganda. https://t.co/im7YlIRDul — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Trump reaffirmed the decades-old US/Saudi partnership, official DC feigned indignation, as if he had pioneered some novel, aberrational evil: vandalizing American values! Trump's real sin was candor: admitting the US always partners with despots when it produces benefits. https://t.co/59LlWjTJuP — PolitiTweet.org

Stella is one of the most eloquent, knowledgeable and forceful advocates of the core press freedom rights endangered by her husband's prosecution, and spoke powerfully about the personal difficulties of Assange's fourth year in a UK prison. In English, with Portuguese subtitles. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For Press Freedom Day in Brazil, @DavidMirandaRio interviewed human rights lawyer Stella Assange, wife of Julian, about the current state of the extradition, what people around the world can to to object, and the personal toll on the Assange family: https://t.co/s8puMIPBfm — PolitiTweet.org

@FaithRubPol 🙏 What reasons do you is motivating the Biden DOJ in its failure to prosecute me? Does this make you wonder whose side they might be on? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FaithRubPol It's good to see a patriotic citizen doing his duty. Thank you for not only notifying the FBI about why I did but also Bill Kristol. It's vital that he know.🇺🇸 https://t.co/GaWs9tll0T — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FaithRubPol Please don't tell Liz Cheney or Adam Schiff that I did this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FaithRubPol Yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bigbrainguy No, I don't believe in this blame standard. I find it noxious and unfair, for reasons I've explained many times. I therefore don't apply it in any case. I'm wondering how those who do defend this blame framework decide when it does and does not apply. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It reminds me of that time when a fanatical follower of Rachel Maddow tried to kill a bunch of GOP members of Congress at a softball field based on his belief that they were Russian assets and traitors. There, too, this blame standard wasn't invoked. It's confounding.🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/60IhFhMLK6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Using prior, very recent standards: anyone in media or politics who expressed political views similar to the ones in whose name the attacker acted can be credibly accused of inciting this violence. For some reason, this standard isn't being applied this time. Anyone know why? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The steadfast lack of interest in discussing who and what likely radicalized someone to try to murder a Supreme Court Justice in the name of Democratic Party dogma on Roe and gun control is extremely. . . . conspicuous, and unsurprising. https://t.co/Hhz3toZocA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is what happens when you stand up to rather than appease the disinformation published by corporate outlets. Kudos to them for taking down the article: it's credibility-building to admit you published false claims. Media outlets could learn from this. https://t.co/RV1VSrSqYq https://t.co/OeD9rNPqJm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@regalviews Are you really as dumb as you seem? The would-be killer is saying he's afraid Judge Kavanaugh would invalidate gun control laws which Democrats like by citing the Second Amendment, and he wanted to murder the Justice to prevent that, exactly as I said. From the FBI's Affidavit: https://t.co/LAXhxAdlgP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Curiouspharmac1 How do you prove a negative? that makes no sense. The burden of proof lies with the media outlet printing an accusation. It's up to WIRED to specify which "extremist" writers Substack has supposedly "actively recruited and pays." They refuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sluggahjells @SubstackInc They leave it to the individual writers to disclose their contract terms if they want -- which is how it should be -- but you can see for yourself the broad diversity of leading writers on many of their key leader boards: https://t.co/ICeadkSXLh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Read this thread to see: 1) The corporate outlets that most vocally accuse others of "disinformation" are the ones which spread it most aggressively and recklessly; 2) Independent platforms like Substack understand this part of the media is dying and doesn't need to be feared: — PolitiTweet.org
