@Kanishka183 Brazil has very significant oil reserves. They have become a major player in the oil market and that role is likely to increase. Lula was one of the original boosters of the BRICS alliance that includes Russia and Brazil. And, in general, Brazilian diplomats are highly respected. — PolitiTweet.org

@godsdamnwizard @e_considine No, of course I won't apologize for interviewing people with significant platforms, both good and bad. It's what journalists -- and politicians -- do. And I continue to view the documentary that was debuted that night about Alex Jones as a superb film https://t.co/AVIXMRqYKm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@e_considine LOL. That's not a picture of Nancy and Paul Pelosi's home. Their SF home is worth many millions of dollars, like most of their real estate holdings. That's a picture of the home associated with the accused attacker, and it has all sorts of political paraphernalia on it. https://t.co/IsaQxZQMet — PolitiTweet.org

Also, this photograph seems worth examining: https://t.co/uow74xjndE — PolitiTweet.org

I'd like to know: * How someone broke into the home of one of the richest and most powerful families without setting off an alarm. * How Paul Pelosi could call 9/11 in the middle of this. * Who is the "unknown" person who opened the door for the police? * Where is the video? https://t.co/eaQCjiqycP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I don't have theories to affirm about motives because I don't try to convince the public to believe things for which there is no evidence yet. That's called *basic journalism.* The preferred narrative may end up right but most of it is based on massaged-by-CNN anonymous claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Police investigating the Paul Pelosi attack continue to state they *do not know the motive.* Yet liberal "thought leaders" like @HillaryClinton and @jimmykimmel have decreed that not only is the motive known to them, but only insane or malicious people would question them. https://t.co/g2mmxLG1KF — PolitiTweet.org

@kent4jmj @imyourmoderator I didn't remotely say it's "most likely." I only said it's very possible -- leaving open that possibility -- because things are possible when the key, conclusive evidence is still unavailable. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SimpleMackDad1 It's complicated. For sure most of the US establishment wants Lula to win in part here's nothing the Deep State hates more than right-wing populism and in part because they believe Lula will be far more center-left than left. But on foreign policy, Lula has always defied the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SimpleMackDad1 LOL. No chance. Lula has extreme skepticism toward western military policy, based in part on the role played by the US and UK in helping right-wing generals overthrow Brazil's elected government in 1964 and then supporting the military regime for the next 21 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@he_negash Brazil's diplomatic corps is known for being one of the best in the world, which is based primarily in its neutrality, so Bolsonaro has more or less followed that tradition. There's a Globo article on how the one place Lula and Bolsonaro have few differences is Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mdrayton Nobody doubts that Paul Pelsoi was assaulted by someone inside his house. What is not known is how and why that person was inside his house; what the motives were for this attack; how the police were called; who let the police in; and where the security footage is? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There's much focus on what a Lula victory - if it happens today - would mean for Brazil's domestic politics and the Amazon. But Lula's biggest impact could be foreign policy, where he's always used Brazil's size for influence. Here he is on war in Ukraine https://t.co/ZlXvKbLfAT — PolitiTweet.org

@kent4jmj @imyourmoderator I want to see all the relevant evidence and only then express my views on what I think happened. That's called "journalism." Like liberals, you also want me to endorse partisan narratives with no evidence, but just for your side. I'm never doing that. I want to see the evidence. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Many journalists see the glaring questions and evidentiary holes in the Paul Pelsoi narrative. But they also know how important that narrative is to Dems right before the mid-terms. So why stick their heads up, provoke a liberal Twitter mob, and be branded? That's the climate. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This happened often during Russiagate: I got texts/DMs/emails from younger journalists inside big media corporations thanking me for being skeptical. They couldn't. One Twitter mob against them for questioning Dem narrative (see @DashaBurns or @BoKnowsNews) can be career-ending. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's so crucial to understand the dynamic dominating journalism. Few journalists have career security. Imagine you're a young journalist at a big media corporation. You know if you ask these questions, Twitter will explode and it can ruin your career: https://t.co/wzF4FwEDgg — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KirkJon33065028 @NationalZeroUSA This is a perfect example of how you blindly believe what you're told even through total ignorance. The official story is that some unknown third party let the police in (who?), and the assassin let Paul use the bathroom. You just make up facts. https://t.co/2IdFhB9lvw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What's most amazing isn't that the Squad is united in supporting Biden's Ukraine war polices and vocally defending unlimited funds to Raytheon. It's that they're now part of the DC group that brands critics Kremlin assets: the tactic Hillary revitalized and used against Bernie: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@NationalZeroUSA 1) Who let the police in the house? 2) How did Paul Pelosi manage to call 911 (eg why did the assassin let him use the bathroom)? 3) Why was there no alarm?; where's security footage?; why did Paul call him "my friend"? Plus the attacker's background: https://t.co/xqu7tI779c — PolitiTweet.org

It's genuinely alarming how conditioned so much of the US population is to equate skepticism toward the pronouncements of media corporations with mental illness: "If you don't instantly accept what Wolf Blitzer and Andrea Mitchell claim, then you're a crazy conspiracy theorist." — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's very possible that the instantly formed media narrative -- Paul Pelosi's attacker was a MAGA fanatic who broke in to murder Nancy -- will be proven true. But right now there are so many glaring doubts and holes in that story that it just takes common sense to question this. — PolitiTweet.org

@Racer92_5 I'm unhappy states in the richest country on the planet claim that they can't figure out how to count all votes until many days or even weeks elapse, while many other large nations - including Brazil - are able to count them all in one night. If Brazil can, why can't California? — PolitiTweet.org
