Starting LIVE, in 5 mins... We'll examine a new MSNBC hit piece on populist politics because - like the viral Sam Harris video - it shines bright light on the rot of establishment thought. Plus: @briebriejoy on GOP holdouts and the concessions they won: https://t.co/Jw6ctTE0oV — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Tonight on @SystemUpdate_, live at 7pm ET: Corporate journalists most hate people they can't control. Hence their war on populism, also due to their reliance on stunted, obsolete left/right prisms. Plus: @briebriejoy on GOP defiance v. Dem subservience: https://t.co/Jw6ctTEyet — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A core plank of the Dem Party is unifying state and corporate power to censor their adversaries and critics from the internet. But an equally high priority is to shield the US Security State from investigative scrutiny because they perceive - accurately - they're their allies. — PolitiTweet.org

@Aleatoriedades9 Eu acredito em perdoar as pessoas por crimes passados, mas esquecer um golpe só 6 anos depois parece bem rápido - quase como se tudo o que importa é a política de cada um no momento Além disso, o perdão requer que alguém admita seu erro e peça desculpas. De Moraes fez isso? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Uma das maiores ironias da extraordinária popularidade de Moraes entre a mídia corporativa e a esquerda foi que ele serviu como Ministro da Justiça, e depois foi indicado para o STF, por um presidente e governo amplamente considerado na época não só ilegítimo, mas "golpista." https://t.co/OQp8oChfM4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Existe agora, ou já existiu, uma democracia moderna onde um único juiz exerce o poder que Alexandre de Moraes possui no Brasil? Não consigo pensar em nenhum exemplo sequer próximo. https://t.co/7z3JPFTdB0 — PolitiTweet.org

The two best books on how the US National Security State and the CIA became a completely unaccountable, secretive and malicious force in post-WW2 US political life: 1) The Devil's Chessboard, by David Talbot 2) The Jakarta Method, by @Vinncent Bevins https://t.co/2s0iyUat7D — PolitiTweet.org

@abrahamordia1 @SystemUpdate_ Literally millions of people are watching, for the same reason you're lurking in my replies, deeply interested in what I'm saying. https://t.co/CrENxKW61G — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I know the Church Committee is somewhat distant history and new to some. A couple weeks ago, we did a brief review of its history on our @SystemUpdate_ program. You can watch it here starting at around the 14:00 mark. It's amazing what it uncovered: https://t.co/Aa1AVSB5gG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@iiTowKneeii Tucker went on a year-long crusade to advocate for the pardons of Edward Snowden and especially Julian Assange. Fox was by far the most vocal critics of the US Security State over the last 6 years. The only way these things work is if they have cross-ideological support. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Let me make it a bit clearer. As a journalist, I am - and *always have been*: * Supportive of those who want to bring transparency and reform to the abuses of the FBI/CIA/NSA/DHS. * Against those who want to protect those agencies from investigation and scrutiny. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Please look at how fucking pathetic this is. When Frank Church first announced the creation of a special committee to investigate the US Security State, this is the rhetoric some on the right used to demonize him: he's attacking our institutions and police! Now Dems say this: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is why I treat with scorn claims that *I've* changed. I'm doing what I've always done: journalistically critiquing the US Security State, the Endless War machine, media corporations, neocons, corporatism. It's not my fault liberals now love all that and are in bed with it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just Dem Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee speaking fondly and nostalgically about **The Patriot Act** -- one of the most worst and most radical assault on civil liberties in decades that was supposed to be temporary -- holding it up as an example of all that's good in the world: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's a Dem who used to run the House Intelligence Committee and abused his power to leak classified information for political ends and lie incessantly to the public. Now he's stripped of his power and is left whining about the poor FBI, NSA and CIA about to be investigated. — PolitiTweet.org

Concerns from US liberals' favorite cable network and one of their most beloved hosts: * Don't criticize or investigate the FBI! * Don't consider any cuts to the military budget that increases every year! * Don't reduce the budget for the US Security State! Something changed. — PolitiTweet.org

@anarquiahoje You put a gigantic LULA 13 sticker over your face and judge the world only through that lens. I don't have that sticker on my face - of him or any politician - and I never will. I always tried warning, even during #VazaJato, that my cause was due process and justice, not Lula. — PolitiTweet.org

@travissweetstan @ryangilmore Let me know when you find significant factions in the Dem Party calling for the termination of US aid to Israel. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@anarquiahoje Yes, I know that the Brazilian left reveres the former Justice Minister from the golpista government and the STF member appointed by the golpista president Temer. That doesn't mean he's not controversial, since there's more to the world than the views of the Brazilian left. https://t.co/JCQ6uHVTyi — PolitiTweet.org

@frondynamics To falando sobre esse perigo há muito tempo. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pedrohrsilva I do. And apparently Judge de Moraes does as well since he banned them from the internet. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

(For those saying they aren't subscribers to the NYT and thus can't read that article on the very controversial Brazilian Supreme Court judge, we covered the article's key passages in our video report last night, starting at 41:00): https://t.co/yUD80OiU1U — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is from a small-ish left-wing party in Brazil that - while vehemently supporting Lula - believes in free speech, got banned from the internet for criticizing the mass censorship imposed by that single judge, and is trying to warn of the dangers of authoritarian overreaction: https://t.co/4HN4nCJlXn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FudgeTosser We covered many of the key passages of that article in the video report we did last night (see the second tweet): https://t.co/yUD80OiU1U — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We covered this, as well as the other aspects of Sunday's protest-turned-riot, on our @SystemUpdate_ show last night. Lots of misconceptions about Brazil, Lula, etc. on both the US left and right: https://t.co/yUD80OiU1U — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I really urge any American media types who have decreed themselves overnight Brazil experts to read this Sept article in the NYT -- which I choose because they trust it -- about the conduct of Brazil's SupCt Judge Alexandre deMoraes. It's crucial context: https://t.co/UpbsF2pJUm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@davidgoldiner Like everyone in the world, they don't apply their stated principles perfectly and consistently to every instance, hence the question I raise here and that I've raised many times before. https://t.co/uyNShkpZE5 — PolitiTweet.org
