@Chaospress32 @DanDan45608437 @xpepeslayerx @erikjarandson You're confusing me with Joe Biden, Hillary, John Kerry and the others who Dems worked to put in the Oval Office. They advocated and voted for the Iraq War. The point of my book was I had no role or interest in journalism or politics until 2005 when I began writing about it. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChristinaPushaw The US Security State is world renowned for opposing disinformation campaigns and defending civil liberties. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And that's independent of the extreme gullibility needed to believe that the *Department of Homeland Security* has ever been interested in either *combating disinformation* (they aggressively spread it) or protecting civil liberties (they crush them): https://t.co/52xXOuaLPw — PolitiTweet.org

The claim that this Disinformation Board is "designed to protect free speech" -- as a DHS official given anonymity by POLITICO claims -- is laughable on its face given that the person they chose to run it has repeatedly called for censorship and mocked "free speech absolutism." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KFILE Aren't you disturbed that nobody knows what this Board does given that Secretary Mayorkas has been asked multiple times to explain what it does? Is there any scenario where you think it's appropriate for DHS to decree what is "disinformation"? https://t.co/52xXOuaLPw — PolitiTweet.org

@DanDan45608437 @xpepeslayerx @erikjarandson So you can't point to a single statement I spoke or wrote in 2002 or 2003, when the nation was debating whether to invade Iraq, where I advocated or supported the war? That's quite significant. If you read the whole Preface, you'd know why no such statement exists. — PolitiTweet.org

@DanDan45608437 @xpepeslayerx @erikjarandson If I want to show that Biden, Hillary and Kerry advocated for the invasion of Iraq, I'd show you the speeches they made during the 2002/3 debate and the votes they cast to authorize it. Where are my statements from 2002/3 during the debate when I advocated for or supported it? — PolitiTweet.org

@xpepeslayerx @erikjarandson That book was published in 2006 -- 3 years after the invasion, so there's no need to argue over whether you've characterized it accurately (you haven't). Do you have any statements or writings of mine in support of the invasion during 2002 or 2003: the "run up to the war"? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@RyanKohout Of course they're not the same. Bush is American and Putin isn't. That means Bush -- and his torture programs, wars of aggression, slaughter of innocents, due-process-free prison camps, CIA black sites, kidnapping plots, and illegal spying -- is inherently superior morally.🇺🇸 — PolitiTweet.org

To this very day, Big Tech censorship never silences those who spout establishment pieties or who serve establishment interests. The targets of censorship - as has always been true - are those who express fringe, marginalized and unpopular-among-the-powerful dissent. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The first reporting I ever did on Big Tech censorship was this article on how Facebook was banning Palestinian journalists and activists at the behest of the Israeli Government. Corporate/state censorship is always used to serve dominant factions. https://t.co/vE0XpFkMhA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Of all the twisted beliefs to support censorship, the worst is the idea that censorship is a tool used to protect the marginalized from the powerful. The opposite is and always has been true: censorship is a tool used by the powerful to silence dissidents and the marginalized. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Not just in the US, but in the broader democratic world, "free speech" is now regarded as a right-wing value. Supporting an online censorship regime imposed by a union of corporate and state power is a virtual requirement to be deemed a left-liberal in good standing. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The NYT set out to write a hit piece on Musk to tie his support for free speech now to his support for apartheid South Africa, discovered that all the relevant facts negate that narrative, but proceeded to frame the article that way anyway: "journalism." https://t.co/k5RY1Xli7n — PolitiTweet.org
