@antoniojaguilar I'm sorry Snowden forced you to learn about the illegal and unconstitutional means that the US Security State used to spy on American citizens. You don't even have the courage to identify yourself while accusing other actually brave people of treason. https://t.co/Xhvif8sUYL — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@3rd_Way_Stinks Not one of my US sources has ever ended up in prison. Snowden voluntarily identified himself. The only alleged source of mine who was ever caught was the one in Brazil. But totally: I'm probably a CIA op, which is why the US Security State has so much demonstrated love for me. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Virtually every major news outlet in the West published and reported on Snowden documents: WPost, Guardian, NYT, NBC, LeMonde, Globo, ElMundo, etc. etc. But liberal "journalists" with Putin in their head still think everything is a Russian spy operation. https://t.co/HFaGJ5EJg0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@3rd_Way_Stinks He voluntarily sat for an interview on the 5th day of our reporting because he was adamant that he didn't want to hide or remain anonymous but instead felt obliged to come forward and say why he did this. The whole world watched that happen, you imbecile: https://t.co/McvdS8wL9T — PolitiTweet.org

I talked about this on Rogan's show: even Obama officials admit Snowden desperately tried to leave Russia from the first second he landed in Moscow, but - led by Biden - they did everything to trap him there. Then they used it to say he was a Russian spy: https://t.co/ckJTEQIw2n — PolitiTweet.org

@Funkorific @LOLNeverTweet Yes, smart people voluntarily submit to life in prison in a US maximum-security prison, which everyone knows is an excellent and joyous way to live out one's days. Even the Obama Admin admits he was desperately trying to leave Russia, but they trapped him there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LOLNeverTweet If he's a Russian spy, why did he go to Hong Kong rather than Russia in the first instance? Why didn't he just pass the secrets to the FSB instead of sharing them with journalists? Why was he desperately trying to leave Moscow as even Ben Rhodes admits? It's all so stupid. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LOLNeverTweet Or it could be that the US has made repeatedly and explicitly clear that the minute he steps one inch outside of Russia, they will arrest him and bring him back to the US to stand trial under a Wilson-era espionage law that is basically impossible to escape conviction, by design. — PolitiTweet.org

@ilpomodoro2 You actually think Putin - in the middle of this existential war -- is sitting around thinking about Snowden? Americans love to believe other countries have one ruler micro-managing everything ("Putin granted...."). It's a huge country and it's just about the timing of residency. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ilpomodoro2 It's easy to be an anonymous Twitter troll telling someone else - a father of 2 young children -- to voluntarily go spend the rest of their life in a maximum security US prison. He knew that was a risk of his brave whistleblowing. But who would do that voluntarily? That's absurd. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LOLNeverTweet That was two weeks ago. Why hasn't he left in the last 9 years, the way even Ben Rhodes and other goons from the Obama national security establishment admit he was desperately trying to do? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@LOLNeverTweet Why can't he just leave Russia? Has this question ever occurred to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And let's not lose sight of the key point: The only reason Snowden -- who revealed illegal domestic spying -- can't come home is because the Obama Admin abused the Espionage Act to prosecute more whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined.👇 https://t.co/FWH1oYPmcW — PolitiTweet.org

Think about it: if Obama officials believed Snowden had possession of an extremely sensitive archive of top secret documents - as they insist but Snowden denies - why would they *want to trap him in Russia*? Because they knew it'd be easy to convince idiots he was a Kremlin spy. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

You can read Ben Rhodes in his own words, bragging in his book about he forced the Cubans to withdraw the guarantee of safe passage they had given Snowden to allow him to leave Russia, as he was desperately trying to do. https://t.co/x1pePbAZBm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Snowden left Hong Kong and landed in Moscow to transit to Latin America, Obama officials like @brhodes did everything possible to prevent him from leaving, to trap him in Russia. Rhodes boasted of it in his book. Ever since, they've use this to imply he's a Russian agent. — PolitiTweet.org

The only effective weapon neoliberalism has left is identity politics -- here, the first female CIA Director! a black Raytheon CEO! -- to glorify neoliberal repression as liberation. That's why nothing frightens them more than women, LGBTs and people of color they can't control. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TheFlailer For some reason, that claim -- opposition to Bernie was anti-Semitic -- never made it to mainstream circles. Weird, huh? Almost like identity politics is a deeply selective and cynical weapon used to glorify neoliberal oppression as liberation. — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is likely to become the first-ever female Governor of Arkansas, the state where Hillary first became nationally known as the First Lady wielding a rather bizarre and notably sporadic rendition of a Southern accent. ✊ https://t.co/YpHJebPIgt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Hillary went on to note she has concerns about Meloni's ideology, but this is the moronic logical conclusion of viewing the world through the prism of identity politics. It was a mainstream, pervasive claim that opposition to Hillary in the 2016 Dem primary was misogynistic. — PolitiTweet.org

@dontcallmeleo @jairbolsonaro @CarlosBolsonaro Fiz um podcast sobre essa questão em Português. Tenho alertado repetidamente no Brasil sobre os perigos de permitir que bilionários de tecnologia americanos controlem o debate político no Brasil – no contexto do STF, Monark e outros casos de censura. https://t.co/5aCd5fumJi — PolitiTweet.org

@EmeCeesse Eu disse "em nome" da defesa da democracia para deixar claro que essa é a justificativa usada, não necessariamente que esse seja o motivo real. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The New York Times examina o debate crucial sobre se o STF em geral, e Alexandre de Moraes especificamente, se tornaram autoritários e estão abusando de seu poder – com censura e outras medidas bem raras para tribunais – em nome de “salvar a democracia”: https://t.co/UpbsF2pJUm — PolitiTweet.org
