@DennisDeeUSA1 @Independent Yes, I absolutely believe that it's an important story that the US Government was spying en masse on the entire population of a democratic ally. As Snowden himself has said, Americans compose only 5% of the world's population. They're not the only one with privacy rights. — PolitiTweet.org

@Kareem_is_it @armandblanquet @brhodes It's a sign of serious mental illness to fantasize that you speak not for yourself but for "everyone." — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@CLLcllcll5 @armandblanquet @brhodes Snowden was an adult who made his own decisions. He was already in Hong Kong by the time I knew who he was. Snowden made his own choices and says to this day he regrets nothing and is proud of what he did, as he should be. It's Ben Rhodes who boasted of trapping him in Russia. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@DennisDeeUSA1 @Independent The story about US spying on Merkel was not from the Snowden archive. It was from a different source. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@Stu02Duncan @teab35 @GDNPearson @brhodes Snowden risked life in prison to show the world the truth, and voluntarily came forward to announce that he was our source. You could live 100 lifetimes and you'll never do anything as brave, and you know that, which is why you need to believe everyone is as cowardly as you. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@DennisDeeUSA1 @Independent No. Again: that was a media outlet that made the editorial decision to publish that. Snowden had no role in that decision. But contrary to widespread beliefs, that was not a Snowden story. If you read the original report, you'll see it was never sourced to him or the archive. — PolitiTweet.org

@stholeary2 @Independent Let me know how many examples you need to admit you're an idiot? https://t.co/dXZEXYyUGh — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@teab35 @GDNPearson @brhodes Yes, he could willingly turn himself into the US Government so that he can leave his wife and baby and spend the next 6 decades in a high-security US prison. So funny that someone too scared to use their real name on Twitter demands such self-sacrifice from others. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@tiancilaile Snowden couldn't do that because he'd be arrested the minute he leaves Russia. *You*, however, could go to Ukraine and fight for them, as their leaders implored. Why are you demanding others do that if you yourself don't do it? If you need help paying for the trip, let me know. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@SusieTaylorW Yes, he made a choice to reveal information to the world that won Pulitzer, Polks and virtually every other journalism award given how important and revealing his revelations were, and he has been honored all over the world as one of this century's greatest whistleblowers. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@saghiali051 Are you sure about that? — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@daryldarylstur1 Even when US officials like Ben Rhodes write a book laughing about the lies they made you believe -- that Snowden chose to stay in Russia -- the dumbest people alive like you still believe it. It's amazing to watch. Sorry we made you aware that your own government spies on you. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@stholeary2 @Independent I just showed you the article documenting where he did it. Are you too dumb to understand it, or do you think the Independent fabricated the story? Is this easier for you to comprehend👇👇👇? Let me know if you need help with any specific words: https://t.co/Cr9sZ3fMgU — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@HonorZAncestors @Tendar @brhodes Even when US officials write a book boasting about the lies they spread and how it fooled total idiots like you, you still believe the lies they fed you. That's how dumb they know you are - even if they admit it in their books, you'll still believe it. https://t.co/0SHIT7q2Fz — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@Tendar @brhodes How can you be so stupid as to not comprehend basic English? Ben Rhodes, in his book, admitted Snowden's plan was to transit through Moscow to Latin America and tried to get out from the moment he landed, but the US trapped him there for idiots like you. https://t.co/0SHIT7q2Fz — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@jasonintrator The reason you screen-shot one tweet rather than linking to the whole thread is to deceive your readers by hiding the multiple western news accounts I included of these neo-Nazi militias. That's what life in academia does to you: where you're the chief of your little fiefdom. https://t.co/XKHesPrP2R — PolitiTweet.org

@openplains12 The chances were extremely high that Snowden was going to be apprehended by the US and spend his life in prison at the age of 29. That was all of our working assumption. Yet he did it anyway. The only ones denying that's courageous are those who feel shame about their own lives. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@openplains12 It's incredibly easy for someone too scared to use their own name on Twitter to demand that someone else return to the US, leave his wife and baby behind, and spend the rest of his life -- many decades -- in a high-security US prison. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@DennisDeeUSA1 @Independent He didn't expose anything. He gave what he had to the world's largest and most prestigious media outlets and asked them to use their editorial judgment to decide what should and shouldn't be disclosed. Anything reported was because *they* decided it, and he often disagreed. — PolitiTweet.org

@reclaimthefight Are you fucking illiterate or just a blatant liar? https://t.co/oGzSdkSnLg — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@pearson_sven @brhodes A large part of why people like this hate and want to malign Snowden is because the bravery and self-sacrifice he showed makes them feel shame for what they don't/won't do in their lives -- same reason so many corporate journalists despise Assange. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@armandblanquet @brhodes Because his first priority wasn't his own safety - which he was obviously willing to risk - but ensuring that he had time to meet with us for the time needed to report the story. The US could easily have nabbed him/us in Ecuador. Much harder in Hong Kong. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@GDNPearson @brhodes The US Government invalidated his passport so he couldn't leave, and also threatened Cuba to withdraw its guarantee of safe passage that he needed to get to his actual destination: Latin America. Rhodes boasted of all this in his book. — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
@vivainio @Independent Yes, what he really needs is the wildly popular and globally influential Ville Vainio to do that. But until that happens, I guess I'll have to suffice in pointing out these facts, ones I witnessed first hand. — PolitiTweet.org

@yusuft99 @Independent Yes, twice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Rhodes' Book Proves Obama Officials' Lies, and His Own, About Edward Snowden and Russia The ex-Obama official admitted Snowden tried desperately to leave Russia from the first day he arrived, and boasted that the US prevented it, trapping him there: https://t.co/0SHIT7q2Fz — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
2016, @Independent: "Edward Snowden says it's a 'dark day' in Russia after Putin introduces draconian new surveillance laws." Snowden's heroism extends far beyond his revelations. He's repeatedly criticized the one country protecting him from US prison. https://t.co/oGzSdkSnLg — PolitiTweet.org
Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald
At the risk of ruining this deeply clever and patriotic joke: Snowden has said for years that Russia is an authoritarian surveillance state. Unfortunately for him, his efforts to leave were blocked by the US, as @brhodes boasted, so people like this could impugn his revelations: — PolitiTweet.org
Scott Shapiro @scottjshapiro
Snowden’s fears were well-founded. He predicted he would live in a totalitarian state that controls the internet.
