@jessecrall I just tweeted this six weeks ago, and have continuously denounced these free speech attacks by what I, in this very thread, called "red state governors" enacting anti-BDS laws. So yes, you are correct: I haven't changed at all. https://t.co/MqAV5GNPdx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FreedomReigns12 Correct, I'm a professional journalist and am paid to report on the CIA, NSA, DOJ and corruption and abuse of power by other agencies of the US Security State. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jessecrall @ChristinaPushaw @founding_ideals @bgmasters @SamAdlerBell Not only have I reported on and denounced such laws at least as much as any other journalist, probably more, I have continued to loudly denounce those laws as tyrannical, as I did just six weeks ago in this thread. How many more examples do you need? https://t.co/MqAV5GNPdx — PolitiTweet.org

@mvjfyi It's so funny become top left-wing foreign policy scholars coined the term "the Deep State" and wrote books about it, but when conservatives began using it to describe the CIA war against Trump, liberals got convinced it was a new crazy conspiracy theory invented by Sean Hannity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the real way Trump changed everything. Because liberals - especially "journalists" - got convinced that Trump was an unprecedented, singular evil, anyone and everyone who opposed him - neocons, CIA, FBI - became noble allies. These long-mainstream views thus became taboo. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyway, that DC is ruled by unaccountable and unelected NatSec and intelligence operatives -- who exert power regardless of elections -- was once central to left-wing politics. It was a primary topic of mine when I was still called a Good Leftist™. 2010: https://t.co/kI257u5l9X — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In early 2017, Chuck Schumer told Maddow what everyone knows but nobody is supposed to say: Trump was dumb to criticize CIA because they have multiple weapons to destroy anyone who does, including the elected President. But sure: it's a conspiracy theory: https://t.co/TUaYkksILG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It was common for liberal corporate outlets to *celebrate* and *boast* that Trump was repeatedly thwarted by unelected Generals and other bureaucrats, who often just ignored his orders. But then if you observe this exists to critique it, they'll call you a conspiracy theorist. https://t.co/0IARjkecvC — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ChristinaPushaw @founding_ideals @bgmasters @SamAdlerBell Exactly. That DC is run by unaccountable, unelected NatSec and intelligence operatives who exert power regardless of election outcomes has been basic left-wing dogma for decades. I wrote about it in 2010, when I was still called a Good Leftist™: https://t.co/kI257u5l9X — PolitiTweet.org

@SunnyDayCBay @tcpoasting I had no involvement in the Reality Winner story. It was sent to the NYC newsroom. The story was overseen by TI's editor-in-chief Betsy Reed. It has four reporters on the byline, none of which is me. I didn't know about the story until days before publication. You're a fabulist. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@StevenJDuffield No, I never compared Bush or Cheney to Hitler, but I think that comparison has more justification than the attempt to equate Trump, DeSantis and/or Masters to Hitler, for reasons I explained here: https://t.co/Kfd9E0fuqT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trinkschiz @bgmasters @SamAdlerBell Feel free to mock the warnings of Eisenhower and countless leftists scholars about the permanent class of military and intelligence operatives and their corporate partners, but denouncing and exposing them has been central to my work from the start. 2010: https://t.co/kI257u5l9X — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@SunnyDayCBay @tcpoasting What, specifically, did I do to "burn Reality Winner and get her sent to jail"? If you're so supportive of the commitment by GOP and Dem hawks to commit the US military to fight multiple wars, why aren't you joining the military? Do you want others to fight those wars? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trinkschiz @bgmasters @SamAdlerBell This is has been one of my central, defining views since I began writing, so either you were too stupid to understand what I was saying, have severe multiple personality disorders, or Trump broke your brain: https://t.co/TjR4Uq1zu2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Also: note how fast the liberal punditocracy moved from "Trump is a once-in-a-lifetime Hitler-like danger!!" to "whichever mildly anti-establishment Republicans come after Trump are *worse than Trump*"! Much like 2003 Bush was Hitler but is now nice. First DeSantis, now Masters. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That a set of unelected, permanent power factions run DC - independent of election outcomes - was what Eisenhower warned of. Leftist foreign policy scholars long called it the Deep State. Leftist economists called it "rule by oligarchy." Liberals now cast it as scary and radical. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

In the article the NYT prepared for Election Day about @bgmasters to make you think he's even scarier than Trump, @SamAdlerBell uses Master's association with Curtis Yarvin. Are the views laid out here scary? Are they false? Are they even right-wing?? https://t.co/xlcy0KJZgZ https://t.co/ajMdEnkA0Q — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tcpoasting I don't know if you heard, but NATO expansion has been occurring consistently and aggressively long before Russia invaded Ukraine, spearheaded by many including Bush and Cheney, who liberals now realize were ideological fellow travelers. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CDCarter13 @BobbyBigWheel Why did you delete this and then scamper away? I wanted to offer you the opportunity to enter into a friendly yet very substantial wager on whether the innuendo and accusation implicit in your statement was accurate or not, buddy. https://t.co/wmpXr2BKWw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dunbar4488 Yes, the US is renowned the world over for respecting other countries' sovereignty rights and defending democracy against autocracy, just like you learned in the 7th grade. That's totally what is motivating this. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bluefiddleguy https://t.co/xTjZ2dzIRB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tcpoasting Yes: neocons and liberals formed an enduring union based on a common belief in militarism and the right of the US to rule the world by military force. That's why Victoria Nuland runs Ukraine for Obama and Biden and MSNBC loves Bill Kristol, Nicolle Wallace and David Frum. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Each time a new country joins NATO, it means the US --nominally other countries, but really the US -- is extending a permanent, limitless vow to defend that new country in any war and to treat its wars as our own. Who does this benefit? How are Americans' lives improved by this? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Even during the Cold War, extreme militarists recognized: the most dangerous act would be driving Russia and China into a union, then declaring their united alliance the US's main enemy. Seemingly overnight under Biden, this madness became DC consensus: https://t.co/PHVGuvjcDf — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Bernie doesn't even pretend any more to have anything resembling a left-wing foreign policy or any minimal divergence from the neocon-driven Dem Party's foreign policy dogma. Opposing NATO expansion was long a mainstream liberal view. Now only Hawley & Paul will get near it: — PolitiTweet.org

@BrianGarceau @lucicorice Given the endless number of invitations I get to appear on television and the audience size for the video broadcasts I do on a still-growing platform, it appears many people are able to comprehend what I'm saying and want to hear it. Maybe it's just you? https://t.co/EjyC781JEp — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@lucicorice My dream is to one day have to show up for work five times a week to read DNC talking points to an audience of a few dozen elderly liberals in nursing homes. I'm praying that their situation improves so they can find the budget to hire me to go do that. 🫰 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PFoldie Obviously. That's why things like this happen so often to Jim Acosta but never to me. He's out there doing what I'm too afraid to do: challenge real power. https://t.co/U4x7xdujFU — PolitiTweet.org
