Gawker ran an entire article based on the premise that Thomas Chatterton Williams attended the premiere of the new Alex Jones documentary in Austin, even putting his name in the headline to prove there were only "losers" there. He was not there and never heard of it. Same Gawker. — PolitiTweet.org

They can't defend Biden's war policy - how can one defend sending to Raytheon and CIA close to the entire *annual* Russian military budget ($65b) as Americans struggle? - but since Dems are united in favor, they can't oppose it, so they just ignore it for easy culture war fights. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whatever one thinks about the US role in the war in Ukraine, it's one of the most consequential and dangerous US (proxy) wars in decades. Yet most of the left-liberal commentariat, after the first couple weeks of excitement and entertainment wore off, acts as if it doesn't exist. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

There is absolutely an escalated focus on foreign policy by the bipartisan war party in DC -- especially on Russia and China -- but with a few exceptions (Jacobin), there's almost no left-liberal commentary on it because they ignore all issues that can't be framed as Dem v. GOP. — PolitiTweet.org

@omalley_an Do you regard the architects and advocates of the Iraq War, the torture regime, rendition, due-process-free imprisonment, drones, and Bagram as "unapologetically evil" or is this phrase just for Alex Jones? Seems clear people say this only about those rejected by the mainstream. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@omalley_an What is the context and question I asked when raising what you are trying to depict as some sort of unseemly compliment? Did I just call him that in order to flatter him, or did I have a broader point? Do you know? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pmatthewroy Saying I know nothing about Russia and Ukraine is a childish insult, not a critique. I've been reporting on each for years -- US policy toward those countries and Russia itself -- and while you're of course free to disagree with my views, saying I know nothing is vapid and wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PFoldie @omalley_an You have about 8 working brain cells in your head, can't follow basic logical reasoning, and I owe myself a huge apology for wasting my time trying to speak with you as if you're capable of adult discourse. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trustanthony Nobody said Owen supports neoliberalism. He is, however, willing and happy to engage and speak with all sorts of actual monsters on BBC and elsewhere while declaring Dempsey beyond the pale to be near. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@PFoldie @omalley_an Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis at least died because of Joe Biden, David Frum, Hillary, Jeffrey Goldberg and Nicolle Wallace, while generations of Iraqis suffer birth defects. They've never expressed remorse for most of it and nobody cares they're regularly empowered and heard. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@omalley_an And again, the people who appear regularly on CNN and are on the payroll of NBC News committed far worse and more destructive crimes than Jones, and have never similarly apologized or expressed remorse as he did, but liberals like you never object to their being platformed. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@omalley_an What was the context in which I referenced the internet's reaction to the photos of him that emerged when he was young? Did I just call him handsome in order to be gay for Alex - as you're implying - or was there a broader point and question I asked him about it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@trustanthony He names them in his reply that I posted. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pmatthewroy You claim to be a "doctoral student, teaching and research assistant, Univ of Cologne" yet your entire Twitter existence is devoted to studying and critiquing each of my pronouncements. You can claim I'm an ignorant know-nothing but it prompts the question of what this makes you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AShortstaff26 Iran would be a lot less powerful within Iraq, to start with. There would also be thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who would be alive today instead of dead. Generations in Fallujah and elsewhere wouldn't have brith defects. US debt would be smaller. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@omalley_an We had just watched a 2 hour film featuring extensive footage of Jones' falsehoods about Sandy Hook, his admission that much of what he said was false, his apologies and explanations for it. Asking him to repeat it would have served no purpose except to appease people like you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The people who work for Jeffrey Goldberg, who call ex-CIA Directors and other assorted war criminals "colleagues," who count Bush/Cheney operatives as friends, and who herald torture advocate Liz Cheney as our savior, have strong opinions on who is beyond the pale to talk to. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of Dempsey's key points was Labour had no chance to win if it maligned every Brexit supporter as racist, Nazi, fascist, etc, that Labour couldn't win without them. He was proven completely right in 2019, but those who smeared him just moved on with no acknowledgement.👍 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@gazzaeuro @channel5_tv I know. I wasn't saying the clip was from BBC. I was saying that those who declared Dempsey persona non grata and a racist will happily share a stage with any Blairite monster as long as it gets them on BBC. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This was the speech that caused all sorts of prominent left-wing Labourites - who will appear next to and support any mainstream neoliberal - to declare Dempsey an outcast because he argued that not all Brexit supporters were racist Nazis. It's brilliant: https://t.co/yH8eClFSsD — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The Labour-left attack on Dempsey seems like just a UK controversy, but it's not. It's highly reflective of how liberal-left elites in the West are willing to embrace the most monstrous mainstream neoliberals and militarists.

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Eddie Dempsey is one of the most effective UK voices for working class values/policies, so of course prominent Labourites - happy to share a stage with warmongering Blairites if it gets them on BBC - declared him persona non grata and racist for his trade union defense of Brexit: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The enduring coalition of liberals and neocons is primarily ideological: full agreement on most key issues. But it's also tactical. For decades, neocons have been accusing critics of US foreign policy of being disloyal Kremlin assets: the now-favorite liberal tactic as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@AbeHalpert @fakejoshlava @edoconn2 @DionRabouin Yes, for sure. This failure is well-deserved and justified and good for society. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@fakejoshlava @edoconn2 @DionRabouin These are very rich and influential media people. It's OK to mock and satirize them, and analyze their failures. These are not factory workers or unemployed people I'm deriding. They're extremely highly paid employees of the world's most powerful media corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MartiniTower @Mortis_Banned Yeah, they're doing great. Hard to imagine why they'd want any advice from anyone. And for sure: historians have long taught that when you're in the middle of a war with a much more powerful country, begging for money and weapons, it's smart to start maligning major world leaders — PolitiTweet.org

@davedadeveloper @TuckerCarlson @RandPaul @TulsiGabbard @LulaOficial I'm paid for cable appearances? I didn't know that. Lots of outlets owing a lot of money over many years. Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@shylock8ever @TuckerCarlson @RandPaul @TulsiGabbard @LulaOficial Bill Kristol has spent decades accusing anyone questioning US foreign policy and the US Security State of being a disloyal, unpatriotic Kremlin asset, and the only difference now is that his primary constituency for spreading and cheering are liberals like you. — PolitiTweet.org
