It's not news that establishment American liberalism and a good chunk of their junior varsity left-wing vassals have adopted McCarthyite rhetoric for all their political opponents. Leave aside @MichaelEMann's "pro-Russia" cliché. How is Fox "anti-American"? They criticize Biden? https://t.co/K4dpgxnwJf — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

They're both newsworthy. But FBI's repeated concoction of its own terror plots which it directs and funds, then praises itself for heroically disrupting, seems very important. Yet this week's acquittals received a fraction of the attention given to the FBI's 2020 press release. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Note the enormous gap between (a) media coverage devoted to the FBI's pre-election announcement that it broke up a right-wing plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer and (b) the jury's refusal to convict the key defendants following evidence that the plot was actually driven by the FBI. — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, MSNBC purported to do an entire segment on "women under 35 in journalism who suffer harassment," and then interviewed two journalists about their experiences, neither of whom fit in that category. Typically great job with the journalism.👍 — PolitiTweet.org

Since some are asking, among the worst cases from the first War on Terror of the FBI arresting people for joining its plots was the case of James Cromitie. I wrote about it here, along with several similar ones. They imported this tactic into the new war: https://t.co/dvQshED0HY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Great reporting by @julie_kelly2, @DarrenJBeattie and BuzzFeed's @kenbensinger and @jvgarrison. It's long been clear that -- like so many "domestic terror plots" -- this was an FBI terror plot from start to finish: https://t.co/n1Cbno2jqP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I wrote about the case last July: "FBI Using the Same Fear Tactic From the First War on Terror: Orchestrating its Own Terrorism Plots" But it did the trick: generated hysteria before the campaign. https://t.co/dvQshED0HY — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The DOJ completely failed to convict anyone in the "Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot" that the FBI concocted, paid for, directed and orchestrated. There are many young Muslim Americans with long prison sentences for this kind of entrapment, but justice was served here: — PolitiTweet.org

This is one of the worst pathologies plaguing corporate journalism: the rank-closing, in-group clique mentality that says NYT shouldn't criticize WPost. The purpose of journalism is to hold all powerful actors accountable. Of course that includes large corporate media outlets. — PolitiTweet.org

@zia_kat @EliasCepeda Right, I mean the only viable "left" in the US, which is the one led by Bernie and AOC and which followed them like sheep back into captivity to the Dem Party of Biden, Schumer and Pelosi. There's a real left that isn't classified that way but they're tiny. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mjkea You started the conversation with a childish lie expressed in barely literate, cliché-driven fashion - "Glenn having to shill for Bitcoin now lmao" - and now are acting as if you're the victim of civility-and-substance-bereft discourse. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even after they watched corporate media peddle a blatant CIA lie before the 2020 election to help Biden - the emails about his activities in China and Ukraine were "Russian disinformation" - they still believe this. They also believe it about Big Tech, which censored that story. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Liberals believe that the US corporate media is biased *against* the Democratic Party and in favor of the GOP, and if you think I'm joking or exaggerating -- and I don't blame you if you do -- just ask them. They say it constantly. They really believe it. https://t.co/kDClqNBc5Y — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@EliasCepeda They're united with Hillary on viewing bitcoin as evil, and on Ukraine, and the 2016 and 2020 general election, and internet free speech. But yeah, otherwise: never and nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

@mjkea The US left having to shill for Hillary and the dominance of the US as the world's currency reserve which single-handedly enables US imperialism lmao. Just keep voting Dem! It's the only way to save the country from fascism. 💙 — PolitiTweet.org

@drewparks I think your comment highlights the key point. Bitcoin was originally depicted as a new currency. It's much more than that, especially the blockchain enabling it. It has widespread political and social impacts. Closing one's mind to it is just reflexive status quo loyalty. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Hillary -- unprompted -- constantly brings up bitcoin and blockchain technology in interviews now because she's way smarter than what passes for the "US left." She wants it banned and/or heavily regulated because she sees the threat it poses to status quo power centers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Contrary to the lies spread by the usual liberal smear artists - including the DNC "left" that always ends up with Pelosi - I wasn't paid to speak at the Bitcoin conference. My interest is political, not financial, for reason @TBSocialist explains here: https://t.co/kI5Q2YifeS — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There are valid questions/concerns about bitcoin - including current wealth distribution and environmental impact - but it's one of the only viable solutions to threats to privacy, centralized speech controls and US imperialism enabled by infinite debt: https://t.co/S8GcBqrnEN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the most vocal opponents of bitcoin and the crypto tech underlying it is @HillaryClinton because, she warns, it can subvert the ruling class order, US imperialism and the dollar's hegemony. So, of course, what passes for the "US left" is, as usual, united with Hillary. https://t.co/RvNAUiv1Hd — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The people at the Atlantic's "disinformation" conference were the ones who spread the lie that these Biden emails were "Russian disinformation." Rather than admit they lied, they just want to change the story and https://t.co/z8yn1XCJBY. They're the disinformation agents: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rossoneriswede @HeerJeet @SilvermanJacob @TBSocialist Yes, I often mock the weaponization of these claims for political ends. That doesn't mean that no bigotries exist. And it's beyond obvious that the most common liberal attack on me - I'm a predator-pedophile who does anything for cash - purposely plays on those most toxic tropes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'll never stop being repulsed -- even though I'm not even a little surprised -- that most US corporate "news" outlets spent weeks blatantly lying to the public right before the 2020 election that these emails were "Russian disinformation" and now just *refuse* to acknowledge it. https://t.co/x3XBJKWhM7 — PolitiTweet.org
