@TVietor08 @mrsorokaa Nobody says most Ukranians are Nazis. That's certainly not something I believe. But the reason the Western press and many in the US Govt have been so fixated on the dangers of Azov is because, as is usually the case, the most extremist fighters end up being the most powerful. https://t.co/txewzkCe44 — PolitiTweet.org

@mppatterson23 @RandPaul Someone whose pronouncements and work you have chosen follow, a flattering tribute for which I thank you. https://t.co/vhwTb7cToJ — PolitiTweet.org

I also used the occasion of being on the only TV venue that permits and airs dissent on Biden's war policies for Ukraine to discuss the Dem unanimity in support of the $40b war package, and how the GOP is spewing contempt at @RandPaul simply for wanting oversight on these funds. https://t.co/cVQheKNUT5 — PolitiTweet.org

@StevenJCBuckley I've been arguing for many years that "terrorism" is a term of propaganda that has no fixed, clear meaning -- its elasticity is what makes it so dangerous -- and liberals and the left cheered that argument when used as part of the first War on Terror: https://t.co/lUXAu3U1Ou — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

While journalists -- of all people -- bizarrely attempt to minimize or even justify Homeland Security's attempt to decree Truth and Falsity in the name of fighting "disinformation," this is just the latest step in a long line of what has become the new War on Terror: https://t.co/BmLvhYbhmn — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I spoke last night on one of the only TV venues that would air such a discussion about the serious dangers of the bill which all Democrats (and Adam Kinzinger) just voted for, giving DHS & FBI more money and power to monitor and fight "domestic terrorism": our new War on Terror. https://t.co/1gIBtzKVy1 — PolitiTweet.org

@TVietor08 @mrsorokaa I think the conversation about Ukraine would benefit greatly from understanding who funds the Kiev Independent and why. Most of the warnings about Azov have been coming from Ukraine, including Zelensky and supporters petrified of what they will do.

@MerlinLynn75 The articles I just cited about Azov's neo-Nazism are from 2020 and 2021, from the most mainstream sources in the West. Are you now able to read simple dates? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HanzPow Free speech isn't a Nazi value, you imbecile. One of the first things Hitler did upon ascending to power was censor dissent, burn books and attack Jewish bookstores. That's why free speech has long been a core left-wing value. https://t.co/706usLimst — PolitiTweet.org

More here on the article from @TIME -- the bastion of Western conventional wisdom -- about the dangers and neo-Nazism of Azov from **2021**. The primary function of Orwell's Ministry of Truth was to instantly re-write history and facts to serve war aims. https://t.co/hkHWgV3F0S — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Again, none of this means you should have one view or the other about the US role. But the immediate whitewashing and historical revisionism in the Western press on behalf of Azov is chilling. And, yes, we should be concerned if weapons are going to them. https://t.co/8ixWCCoeVh — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That op-ed also notes that Azov has been training neo-Nazis around the world. The murderer who carried out the New Zealand massacre at 2 mosques, Brenton Tarrant, claims he trained with Azov. Tarrant was the number 1 hero to the Buffalo murderer, who wore Azov's Black Sun. https://t.co/eEOplCb7y7 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's an op-ed in the NYT in 2020 -- just 2 years ago -- by former Congressman Max Rose and FBI agent Ali Soufan which, in the second paragraph, notes that FBI considers Azov "'a paramilitary unit' notorious for its 'association with neo-Nazi ideology.'" https://t.co/bKOahtQ0y2 https://t.co/rPCGP7ByWA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This was from the US Security State-supported @Bellingcat in 2019, warning that the Ukrainian neo-Nazi group called the Azov Battalion was becoming a rallying cry for neo-Nazis throughout the West. Again, saying this now means you're a Kremlin asset. https://t.co/JMI7E7JWcL https://t.co/LNVd9nf6J6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's is a video on Azov's neo-Nazism from @TIME - the most mainstream, inoffensive outlet that does nothing but channel conventional wisdom - from **2021**: last year! If you say this today, you're a Kremlin propagandist. That's a Ministry of Truth: https://t.co/lJctveYkhH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@yakovshap The Reuters articles calling Azov neo-Nazis were all after 2014. Here's Time in ***2021*** on Azov: https://t.co/lJctveYkhH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The first 3 images: how @Reuters itself described Azov prior to the Russian invasion: as a dangerous neo-Nazi menace. The last image: @Reuters today saying that such descriptions (its own) are merely Russian assertions. https://t.co/5O4J0SiDNb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whatever your views on Ukraine, the war and the US role: it's just amazing that the Western press -- which spent a full decade in unison calling the Azov Battalion neo-Nazi fanatics -- now speak of them in admiring terms and will only say that their Nazism is a "Russian claim." — PolitiTweet.org

The reason 5 of the 6 Squad members haven't even deigned to explain their vote is they know their followers never question them and don't want or need an explanation for this extraordinary vote. Again, at least Cori Bush explained, but look what she said. https://t.co/HXQdvMRk81 https://t.co/OMexqzXVEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's been 9 days since all Squad members voted for Biden's $40b war package to Raytheon and CIA and none except @CoriBush has bothered to explain their vote even though a) many reporters asked, b) the votes violate their past statements and c) all war votes require explanation. — PolitiTweet.org

@EthanHiguain @NicolleDWallace @0rf MSNBC's ratings are so low it's actually humiliating. Mid-sized YouTubers have more people under 55 watching, even without the millions spent on corporate ads.

@KentuckianaJonz @bouncebackyear There are many thousands of journalists in the world. Those 2 chose me for history-changing stories not because they put the name of all journalists in a hat and picked mine (luck) but because they trusted me to report it. And I know how much work and risk the reporting entailed. — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanOngley Many US corporate journalists opposed the Snowden reporting at the time. Some even suggested that we should be imprisoned for it. https://t.co/hlgQy5P3gU — PolitiTweet.org
