The repressive climate that arose in 2002/3 over the US attack on Iraq was intense, but it pales in comparison to the absolute intolerance for any minimal dissent or questioning of the US role in Ukraine, largely due to social media as well as how bipartisan the consensus is. — PolitiTweet.org

O fracasso das pesquisas no Brasil foi tão enorme - tão sem precedentes - que está recebendo atenção internacional. Não entendo como os jornalistas podem justificar a publicação dessas pesquisas quando elas são não confiáveis e só têm o potencial de enganar, não informar.👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the part of the segment I did on escalating US involvement in the war in Ukraine: what Panetta and others call, correctly, "the US proxy war with Russia." For those fixated on labels, can someone tell me if this is a left or right-wing message? https://t.co/8g0ze4Q5TC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whatever your views on what former CIA Director Leon Panetta calls the "US proxy war" against Russia over Ukraine, it's stunning how little discussion and debate there is -- including, or rather especially, in the US Congress -- given the grave risks and dangers at play here. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

About to be on Fox -- 5 minutes or so -- to discuss the increasingly dangerous situation with the US and Russia heading toward even more confrontation over who rules Donbas, with the possibility of a nuclear exchange. Time permitting, will also discuss Brazil's Sunday election. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Now, the very same journalists who spread this laughable, stupid, unhinged conspiracy theory - ripped from some cheap Robert Ludlum Cold War novel - go around calling anyone who dissents from establishment pieties "conspiracy theorists" who should be censored. They also did this https://t.co/ApyQmcwsmX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The most minimal amount of rationality would have made any person completely embarrassed to spread the insane conspiracy theory that Putin had seized control of the US or the WH through blackmail leverage over Trump. Everything negated it: from arming Ukraine to this: — PolitiTweet.org

@pmatthewroy @genomarb That you think that's worse than a worldwide torture regime, kidnapping people off the streets of Europe to send them to Syria and Egypt to be tortured, putting people on an island for decades with no due process - all of which Liz supports - shows what a moral mongrel you are. — PolitiTweet.org

@eriz35 @GarySeinfeldW @lib_crusher I'll pay you $5,000 - by Paypal, bank wire, whatever - if you tell me your real name and the state in which you live, with proof. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@genomarb She supports torture, rendition, kidnapping, endless war, and denounced her own sister's marriage as sinful to gain her seat. She also supported the claims of Bush/Cheney that they won the 2000 election, which liberals said had been stolen. That's "honorable" to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Why is every utterance of someone who a) only got elected to Congress because she had a famous Dad and b) just lost her own seat by 35 points -- rejected by her own constituents -- treated as headline news? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Algumas das pesquisas erradas - para Governador e Senado em SP, para Governador no Rio, outras - erraram 20 ou mais pontos! É um escândalo. Neste ponto, é jornalisticamente injustificável publicar essas pesquisas. Números aleatórios retirados de uma tigela são tão confiáveis. https://t.co/cAaxlvHUvZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

O artigo de hj do New York Times, como o de ontem, enfatiza quão radical e chocantemente erradas foram as principais empresas de pesquisa. Eu nunca vi erros tão grandes - nem perto. É embaraçoso. Datafolha, Ipespe, Ipec, etc devem uma explicação imediata https://t.co/0Lt6aTVFOE — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing angers employees of large Western media corporations more than suggestions that US intelligence services may not be telling the truth and might do bad things. The ideology of corporate media isn't so much "left" or "right" as it is subservience to establishment power. — PolitiTweet.org

@AmericanClTlZEN @krystalball @esaagar What are you talking about? Where did you get this from? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I spoke this morning to @krystalball and @esaagar on "Breaking Points" about the most significant aspects of yesterday's national election in Brazil -- not just for Brazil but also for the US and the wider democratic world: https://t.co/2GcWStr3Ko — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Just to underscore the strength of Bolsonarismo in last night's election, and how it will endure even if Lula defeats Bolsonaro in the run-off: Bolsonaro's party has the most seats in the House (98), the most any one party has had since 1998. Lula's party (PT) is next with 68. https://t.co/FNYoiku1Sc — PolitiTweet.org

The most important truth is this: The worst and most damaging "disinformation" doesn't come from 4Chan, QAnon or KiwiFarms. It comes from NBC, CNN and WPost, led by CIA: petrified of allowing free speech to thrive and, most of all, dissent to flourish. They employ paid liars. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Last year, when Substack was growing massively, they started lying about it: it's just a place for white conservative culture warriors even as many of its most-read writers are non-white Trump haters. Same now with Rumble. Just lies: controlled by Thiel, a right-wing site, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is what happened: Establishment power centers got scared by the internet's ability to subvert their propaganda and information stranglehold of large media corporations. So they just lie to discredit any platforms that permit free speech and disobey their censorship demands. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The largest corporate media outlets present liberals like Collins as some kind anti-disinformation warrior. But look at how easily and casually he lies. Thiel has zero control of Rumble, its hosts or its content. Collins and his gang just keep lying. https://t.co/fZgOQFRH0a — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The other blatant lie circulated about Rumble by censorship advocates and disinformation agents like NBC's @oneunderscore__ is that Peter Thiel owns and controls Rumble. It's a public company. Its founder/CEO @chrispavlovski has 85% of voting shares. https://t.co/LB5BigbaVe — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As @RandPaul notes, the only honest way to describe Rumble is: "free speech platform." Its growth is due to rising corporate/state censorship (something the left once hated). Many leftists are there. "Far right" now just means: things establishment power centers can't control. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Let me note again that Russell Brand - one of the key Rumble hosts for our new network of live programs - is a life-long leftist, ardent supporter of Corbyn, and steadfast opponent of militarism and corporatism. Continuing to claim it's a "far-right platform" requires lying: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's the article. It explores the difficulty of Western left-wing movements in attracting working-class voters, how political hashtags and sloganeering are often used by people in lieu of humanitarianism, and how we judge each other in the digital age. https://t.co/hxRaVWFvy8 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I wrote this essay yesterday spurred by my experience with @CaboDaciolo, a Brazilian evangelical pastor and socially conservative but working-class-defending ex-Congressman, union leader, and firefighter. I hope you'll give it a read: on how politics and humanity interact. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@BPdeVasconcelos Yeah, I talked about the collapse of PSDB and of course the loss of its SP base is one of the key metrics of that (just felt it was too much detail for a US/Europe audience). — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@EsotericCD Your general point is correct, but I'm not nearly as pro-Lula/PT as many believe (as petistas here will be happy to tell you). My husband left his left-wing party at the start of the year in part to protest its support for Lula/PT and also because he wanted to support Ciro Gomes. — PolitiTweet.org
