Like most MSNBC/NBC personalities, @JoyAnnReid repeatedly said the "lab leak" theory was a "debunked." Her only basis? CIA issued a one-page statement saying so. Do you see how they think? 1) We mindlessly repeat what the CIA/FBI tells us. 2) We never retract our false claims: — PolitiTweet.org

@kantwistaye He's a 37 year old Congressman; was named by TIME as one of the next generation of great leaders; has career/financial security for life; is raising our children together with me; and has zero need beyond love to please me. But to you, he'll always just be a needy brown boy. https://t.co/ZzIglL5A59 — PolitiTweet.org

RT @NateSilver538: This is so refreshingly honest. The Bad People thought the lab leak might be true, therefore as journalists we couldn't… — PolitiTweet.org

@kantwistaye David has made explicitly clear many times that white Westerners like you invent victim fantasies about him and his marriage because you look at brown men from the Global South and can only see stupid, primitive mindless dupes with no agency, adding to your anti-Chinese racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kantwistaye That you regard a long-term marriage between gay men who are raising children together as nothing more than two guys "fucking" reveals quite a bit about your barren life and rotted soul. And I didn't deny I was racist; I just pointed out your glaring anti-Chinese animus. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kantwistaye When people expose your white racism, the thing to do is to own up to it, apologize for it, acknowledge your privilege and make amends. Find a Chinese person to beg forgiveness from. Lashing out at me for showing your anti-Chinese racism is just your white fragility crumbling. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It wasn't just the NYT's COVID reporter who said the "lab leak" theory is racist. Much of the liberal-left said it, too. All that matters is the truth, but the far more racist theory was *theirs*: that COVID occurred due to primitive, unsanitary Chinese bat-eating wet markets. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@stevegreenberg I didn't say there was a consensus across US Government agencies. I explicitly said the exact opposite of that in multiple tweets. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The worst part of Twitter is how much stupidity it surfaces. My point isn't that the debate over COVID's origins is resolved. My point: it was never resolved. That's why it was so wrong and immoral for the Govt and media to declare it resolved in the 2nd month and ban all dissent — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@kantwistaye The most racist people against China are people like you who instantly bought into the long-standing anti-Chinese trope that they are an unsanitary and primitive culture whose bat-eating wet markets are so filthy that it gave rise to a worldwide novel virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These lies and state censorship campaigns succeed for one reason: employees of corporate outlets are very cowardly and lack critical thinking skills (that's why they're hired). So they always mimic state disinformation, including outright lies like this: https://t.co/cgvE3opBDD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The same thing happened here as happened as with the media's CIA-mimicking lie that the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation." Fauci and Daszak invented a false consensus to ensure dissent from their beliefs was censored off the internet. It worked for more than a year https://t.co/PkkX2Fnm3e — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the weeks before the notorious, debate-closing Lancet letter, Fauci had numerous emails from top epidemiologists saying they regarded the lab leak as highly plausible at least. At the very least, Fauci knew it was a lie to endorse the idea that the zoontic theory was proven. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A huge number of NBC and CNN employees repeatedly said the "lab leak" theory was "debunked." That was a total lie. It was never debunked. That lie was concocted by Fauci and Peter Daszak, who had major, undisclosed personal conflicts in protecting the Wuhan Lab. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is absolutely astonishing that the NYT's lead COVID reporter -- who became that only because the pape fired their real reporter because he upset rich teenagers who they made him take to Peru -- said it's racist to consider the "lab leak" theory. https://t.co/ZV5nknpoEv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How many employees of media corporations who repeatedly mocked the COVID "lab leak" theory as a "debunked" lie that only insane conspiracy theorists believe (because Fauci told them to say that) will apologize now that much of the USG believes this? — PolitiTweet.org

@droneguy65 Walk me through the process where you to decide to read a detailed argument supported by ample evidence that is presented, explain to yourself that you're going to type "Oh please...." and nothing else, and then tell yourself you've accomplished and written something worthwhile. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

These revelations are so vital not only because the question of COVID's genesis is a major historical question, but also because few episodes more vividly illustrate the madness and dangers of empowering the Government to decree Truth and ban "Falsity": https://t.co/glwWIpkRAP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Starting in 5 minutes, LIVE: We'll spend the full hour reviewing the blockbuster revelations that major US Govt agencies concluded that the lab leak is the more probable explanation for COVID's origins: a theory the media and Fauci united to declare off-limits from debate: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

How the USG had this debate over COVID's origin banned -- by labelling all dissent "false" and "dangerous" -- is how authorities have always and will always abuse such laws. Trusting institutions of power to decree Truth and Falsity and ban dissent from its "Truth" is madness. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As we just reported, the key context for this is Brazil is poised to implement a law to empower its new leaders to ban views and opinions it deems "false" and *to punish its authors,* a law the EU and US are encouraging because it desperately wants this. https://t.co/XSTQdhONOS — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just as was true of the CIA/media lie that the Biden reporting was "Russian disinformation," the lie that COVID's origins had been proven to be zoonotic had one purpose only: to ban debate on one of the most critical questions of our time. And it worked more than a year: https://t.co/7ijmZFRw8E — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Tonight on @SystemUpdate_, live at 7pm ET: We'll spend the hour on how the union of the US Govt and corporate media proclaimed unquestionably true a theory for which there was no proof and which parts of the USG now denies: COVID came from a lab leak: https://t.co/glwWIpkRAP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That's why it was immensely pathetic when #TwitterFiles critics argued the CIA, DHS, FBI, etc. could not possibly have been trying to influence Big Tech to censor in favor of liberals because they reported to Trump. Nobody beyond the 7th grade thinks the IC obeys the President. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In early 2017, Chuck Schumer went on Rachel Maddow's show to say Trump was being stupid for criticizing CIA because everyone in DC knows they'll destroy you. And the, CIA/FBI spent 4 years subverting, lying about and leaking against Trump ("Russian disinformation") this way: — PolitiTweet.org

The Typhoid Mary of Disinformation gives a master class in how Americans are propagandized daily and who does it: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@greenechri @SystemUpdate_ I appreciate the suggestion. We've significantly reduce the scripted part of the show so that it's usually, at most, onyl the first 5-10 minutes, and that's mostly done for time management. The ability to speak extemporaneously and delve deeply into topics is key to our show. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@humberto_jr_ @SystemUpdate_ Nothing justifies the fact that Big Tech, pressured by the US Govt, banned any debate on the origins of this virus, notwithstanding the fact that it was one of the most significant events in decades. They did it even while harboring doubts about the truth of the zoonotic theory. — PolitiTweet.org
