Just this one tweet by itself -- never mind all the others exactly like it -- demonstrates the utter denseness required to believe that Nina Jankowicz and her fellow DC liberals are competent to formally decree what "disinformation" is. Look at this: https://t.co/1ONbMA7VCu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's essentially no US Security State agent that doesn't end up with a contract with one of the liberal "news" outlets, so the only question is whether Nina is headed to CNN or NBC to join the army of CIA, FBI, NSA DOJ and Pentagon operatives already on their payrolls. — PolitiTweet.org

@timgill924 It is indeed tragic. The only shows I get to go on are the only ones people watch: essentially every Fox show, Joe Rogan's little podcast, YouTube hosts who have built a giant audience. But if only Wolf Blitzer and Joe Scarborough would let me on their networks nobody watches. — PolitiTweet.org

@neontaster That's so clearly exactly what happened. — PolitiTweet.org

@timgill924 This tweet is genuinely fantastic -- one line better than the next. You have Ph.D! In Sociology! And I'm constantly hiding behind others, never willing to stand in defense of what I do and think. As for the thriving, cleansed Intercept: https://t.co/aSWD60oWLU — PolitiTweet.org

Nina Jankowic has been on a week-long media tour predictably pronouncing that all criticisms of her and the DHS program she wanted to run are not just themselves "disinformation" but *a threat to national security.* This is the narcissism and fanaticism that molds every censor. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I hold many views I passionately believe are based in truth, the right way to see things. But I can't imagine ever reaching a state of such certainty about anything - believing the insights I've apprehended are so immunized from error - that all divergent views should be banned. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In 2013, when France demanded Twitter ban writers it sees as "hateful," I wrote about an oft-overlooked but central attribute of censorship: at the heart of the censor lies hubris: the belief that your Truths are so inerrant, no dissent should be heard: https://t.co/OkeAwpu9W5 — PolitiTweet.org

@timgill924 The people will responding to this tweet will explain to you how stupid you are. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That the same DC operatives and media stars who spread a stream of lies and disinformation campaigns from the US Security State for 6 years -- from Russiagate insanity to Hunter Biden laptop falsehoods --believe they're competent to decree "disinformation" shows this hubris. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Beyond the inherent abuse of the US Security State arrogating unto itself the power to decree Truth and Falsity and then enforce those judgments, I can't fathom the hubris needed to equate one's partisan/ideological views with absolute Truth, then banning all dissent from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@whykhalfan I agree they, like the US, are driven by their own strategic interests. That's my point: the US is involved in war in Ukraine not to save those nice Ukrainians but to weaken Russia (which could entail sacrificing Ukraine). Also, most of those countries also refused to sanction. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@hellphish89 Maybe. The US interests seems to be to prolong the war as much as possible in order to weaken or even destroy Russia to the point when it can foster regime change in Moscow. They're saying this aloud now. I agree the interests align for now. We'll see if they do long-term. — PolitiTweet.org

How do British subjects not ask themselves: how can we ban Russian players from Wimbledon without also demanding the world ban British athletes, given our government's destruction of Iraq, partnering with Saudis to destroy Yemen, and support for the worst despots on the planet?? https://t.co/Ma5EA0JkRH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This "we-fight-wars-for-freedom-and-democracy" propaganda only works on US corporate media and, for a time, on the US public. 16 out of the 20 most-populous countries either abstained or voted NO to kick Russia off the UN Human Rights Council. It's at least worth asking why. https://t.co/VsIRYUNMTB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The US, like every major power, doesn't do wars to help people. That's the propagandistic packaging for domestic pacifying. I never understood how the USG can get Americans to believe it fights for democracy while propping up the Saudis, Egyptian generals, and supporting coups. https://t.co/BMHJM3Suh8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I really wish people understood: it's only in the US and parts of Europe where USG propaganda -- about how we fight wars to benevolently save people and democracies -- works. Everywhere else, it provokes a laughing fit, especially in countries that have seen US power first-hand. https://t.co/sFVerOXrtU — PolitiTweet.org

@NickelDollar The tweet is bereft of ideological sentiment. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JosephJaafari @LilianaSegura Last I heard, which was admittedly awhile ago, she didn't live in Manhattan, but even if you were right about that, it has literally no bearing on the point I'm making, which I'm starting to believe you indeed are too dumb to process despite its lack of complexity. — PolitiTweet.org

@_jaquelinerib @cirogomes Quem tem mais chance em 2022 do que Ciro pra chegar no segundo turno (além de Lula e Bolsonaro)? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JosephJaafari Are you actually this dumb, or are you pretending on purpose not to understand the point I'm making? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ReportATweet @JosephJaafari Their fake, performative outrage stems from the fact that they know it's they whom I'm referencing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NickelDollar What ideological sentiment, let alone one that I previously repudiated, do you believe you located in that tweet? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JosephJaafari Really good point: thoughtful and important. I don't make the rules: just observe and describe them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Need to figure out the ideology and political leanings of the shooter before deciding if we care. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

2 fatos estão claros há pelo menos um ano: 1) Será difícil para um candidato que não seja Lula e Bolsonaro chegar no segundo turno (“terceira via”). 2) O único candidato viável para isso é @CiroGomes. A mídia Globo/Veja, como sempre, protegeram sua fantasia religiosa do PSDB. — PolitiTweet.org
