It continues to be the height of dark irony that the very same people who can't stop glorifying themselves as the courageous vanguards against "fascism" are those cheering this union of state and corporate power to punish dissent. That's what Big Tech censorship is, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is absolutely one of the new frontiers of state/corporate censorship: punishing dissidents in the West through exclusion from the financial system. Justin Trudeau froze the bank accounts of trucker protests with no due process. This is their future: https://t.co/TneuEPMOsZ — PolitiTweet.org

I believe Paypal's claim that it was an "error" to publish a policy saying they'd steal $2,500 from anyone whose opinions it disliked -- only because they weren't ready to publish it yet and weren't ready for the backlash that harmed their stock price: https://t.co/zgbmfaRprs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Paypal has been leading this truly dangerous effort to banish people from the financial system for expressing dissent from neoliberal orthodoxies. They partnered with @ADL - a standard DNC/liberal group - to identify "extremists" who deserve to be banned. https://t.co/kHZwHHqZgw — PolitiTweet.org

@vidrrv Should people paid by the CIA also be imprisoned at the Hague? Should David Frum, Jeffrey Goldberg, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have been imprisoned at the Hague for advocating for the invasion in Iraq? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's urgent that we take everyone who sees the war in Ukraine differently than @MacaesBruno does and imprison them as war criminals at the Hague -- so that he can succeed in his heroic, world-historic fight for freedom and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

@KentuckianaJonz @jonbinstead @kennardmatt @declassifiedUK Did you tell the Brazilian government that I had nothing to do with this reporting when they were trying to imprison me for the reporting? Or when Bolsonaro was threatening me with prison over the reporting? https://t.co/D9qi8xUoVI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ketchmeifucan @kennardmatt The Economist endorsed Lula. They also have been condemning Bolsonaro for years. They're on your side. Why would you think they would fabricate polling data to help a candidate they hate? And what does anyone of that have to do with me? https://t.co/VCy3nNKMzT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jonbinstead @kennardmatt I'm an adviser to @declassifiedUK. Beyond that, you check to see why Lula is able to run this year. But how can you be so stupid as to realize that he's not citing me as the source, but the Economist's polling data as the source? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ketchmeifucan @kennardmatt Yeah, I probably altered the charts published by the Economist and they don't realize that I did this. The charts really show Lula winning by 23 points, but I was able to hack into the Economist's data base, move it to 50/50, and nobody but you realized this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AntiWarParty1 @TheEconomist I'm sorry that what you were taught to believe is in conflict with reality, but the Economist has been vocally anti-Bolsonaro going back to 2018. Here, from 2018: "Jair Bolsonaro, Latin America’s latest menace He would make a disastrous president." https://t.co/LyUHHz2Gcq https://t.co/hSdhMgK0NB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AntiWarParty1 @TheEconomist The Economist endorsed Lula. https://t.co/lRkGgKok0S — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@danushman @CryptoParadyme The US spends 15 times more on its military than Russia. The US has already spent more on Ukraine than the annual Russian military budget. Russia can barely hold a Ukrainian city. How can you watch all that and think Russia is going to start bulldozing and conquering countries? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@gyorycs I'm not talking about what Ukraine should do. I'm talking about what my country, my government, should do. And the idea that advocating that the US should stay out is "colonialist" is the kind of neocon Orwellian madness that has prevailed from the start. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bigasaplanet @ClareDalyMEP I feel sorry for people like who have been led to believe that Russia -- whose military spending is 1/15 that of the US, to say nothing of all the NATO countries, and who can barely hold a Ukrainian city -- is going to start conquering Poland, then Germany, then France, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I don't fully understand the basis for the Economist's data. Polls in Brazil continue to show Lula with a 3-6 point lead. Both the 3rd and 4th place candidates have endorsed Lula (though it's very unclear how much their voters will listen). But this is what the Economist has. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

🇧🇷 The Economist -- which has been aggressively anti-Bolsonaro for years and has endorsed Lula -- now has the race at 50-50%. The run-off is Oct. 30. I personally still view Lula as the favorite, but Bolsonarismo had a massive surged missed by pollsters. https://t.co/6viBnNsY6A https://t.co/DvvKAiI3ZP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All over the world -- with the exception of the EU, which literally made it *illegal* to broadcast or platform Russian media -- this dissent on US war policies in Ukraine can be heard. Why, in the US, is Fox the only mainstream venue that will air this? https://t.co/t4jblsbybK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And worst of all – assuming we somehow get out of this without the use of nukes – is that the dirtiest and most toxic neocon premises have again been rejuvenated and mainstreamed: Diplomacy is weakness. Avoiding war makes you Chamberlain. Dissent from US policy is treasonous. https://t.co/a3ZAqaWSVH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you can find even one major difference between (a) not just standard mainstream liberals but what passes for the US left and (b) the David Frums, Lindsey Grahams, John Brennans and Bill Kristols of the world on foreign policy, tell me what it is? Where in DC are these aired? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Democrats are united – completely – in support of Biden's insanely wasteful and dangerous proxy war in Ukraine. So the Bernie/AOC wing (with a few exceptions) supports the neocon/neoliberal consensus or, too cowardly to dissent, just pretends the war isn't happening at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The problem is that there is little "real left" in the US. The Bernie/AOC 'left" is all that exists. And it's a joke, totally lost and without any ideological anchor. They're just Democrats, never saying anything to offend mainstream liberal sensibilities or neoliberal pieties. https://t.co/cdSKoFTrlM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Opposition to CIA/NATO proxy wars of this sort – and to broader goals of sacrificing countries for the interests of a narrow slice of US elites – has always been found on the real left, the populist/isolationist right, and realism. That's where one still exclusively finds it. https://t.co/29kjJmQ6XU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

From the start it's been clear – and reported – that US/NATO goal is not to save Ukraine, but to sacrifice it to weaken Russia. Like most US war policy, spending billions and risking nuclear war over who rules Donbas will benefit no Americans: just a tiny sliver of DC elites. https://t.co/gaJzijcS1S — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I understand the desire of Ukrainians outside of Donbas to be free of Russia. They should fight for as long as they want. But only monumental gullibility and historical ignorance could suggest US/UK – leading sponsors of Saudi and Egyptian despots – are motivated by freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That's because most of US liberalism and, sadly, much of the "US left" is far closer to the war mindset of Lindsey Graham, David Frum & Bill Kristol than Chomsky, Lula or Clare Daly. Thus, Ukraine dissent is found only on a few Fox shows, right-wing think tanks, the GOP caucus. https://t.co/1y02d0KllB — PolitiTweet.org
