Glenn Greenwald: War Propaganda About Ukraine Becoming More Militaristic, Authoritarian, & Reckless

Comments 2 comments

Authored by Glenn Greenwald via greenwald.substack.com, In the weeks leading up to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, those warning of the possible dangers of U.S. involvement were assured that such concerns were baseless. The prevailing line insisted that nobody in Washington is even considering let alone advocating that the U.S. become militarily involved in a conflict with Russia. That the concern was based not on the belief that the U.S. would actively seek such a war, but rather on the oft-unintended…

Here is a voice that I trust on this. I never knew the three people shot were WHITE. But we were not expected to know that. Kyle Rittenhouse, Project Veritas, and the Inability to Think in Terms of Principles Those whose worldview is bereft of universally applied principles, and based solely on tribal allegiances, assume everyone else is plagued by this very deficiency. Glenn Greenwald James O’Keefe meets with supporters during the Conservative Political Action Conference 2020 (CPAC) hosted by…

As the Insurrection Narrative  Crumbles, Democrats Cling to  it More Desperately Than Ever If the threat of “armed insurrectionists” and “domestic terrorists” is as great as some claim, why do they have to keep lying and peddling crude media fictions about it? Glenn Greenwald Glenn Greenwald, 5 March, 2021 Twice in the last six weeks, warnings were issued about imminent, grave threats to public safety posed by the same type of right-wing extremists who rioted at the Capitol on January 6….

Glen Greenwald on the new DOMESTIC War on Terror

Comments 1 comment

  https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-new-domestic-war-on-terror-is The last two weeks have ushered in a wave of new domestic police powers and rhetoric in the name of fighting “terrorism” that are carbon copies of many of the worst excesses of the first War on Terror that began nearly twenty years ago. This trend shows no sign of receding as we move farther from the January 6 Capitol riot. The opposite is true: it is intensifying. We have witnessed an orgy of censorship from Silicon Valley monopolies…

 How Silicon Valley, in a Show of Monopolistic Force, Destroyed Parler In the last three months, tech giants have censored political speech and journalism to manipulate U.S. politics, while liberals, with virtual unanimity, have cheered. Glenn Greenwald Critics of Silicon Valley censorship for years heard the same refrain: tech platforms like Facebook, Google and Twitter are private corporations and can host or ban whoever they want. If you don’t like what they are doing, the solution is not to complain or…

 The Kafkaesque Imprisonment of Julian Assange Exposes U.S. Myths About Freedom and Tyranny The real measure of how free is a society is not how its mainstream, well-behaved ruling class servants are treated, but the fate of its actual dissidents. Glenn Greenwald Glenn Greenwald, 31 December, 2020 Persecution is not typically doled out to those who recite mainstream pieties, or refrain from posing meaningful threats to those who wield institutional power, or obediently stay within the lines of permissible speech and activism…
