Greenwald: Amazon/Apple/Google Conspired Against Parler for D.C. Attack... That Was Planned on Facebook

Glenn Greenwald ^ | January 11, 2021 | Glenn Greenwald

[Sense]

Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?

Zero.

The planning was largely done on Facebook. This is all a bullshit pretext for silencing competitors on ideological grounds: just the start.

[Sense]

The Nazis who oppose Nazis really are Nazis.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

There are a few liberals who still do honest reporting. Greenwald is one of them.

[Gene Eric]

You Cloud integrators... give Oracle a try.

[Flick Lives]

Yup.

[Hostage]

I’m not sure there’s a judicial body in operation that will give Parler a fair hearing.

I fear you are right. Can’t even count on SCOTUS.

Bkmk

[TigersEye]

I did Nazi that coming!

In Europe people are seeing it like big tech is controlling speech. A lot of communists there are leaking their chops, making it a “I told you so” moment to advance their agenda.

Only in America do we have a media and liberals not seeing how this fascism of theirs is being seen as such world wide, and how they are endangering us in making it perfect propaganda for communist fodder.

Of course, I am sure this was the idea.

Glenn is absolutely thrilling to read and listen to, especially on Tucker’s and Laura’s show, where he has a welcome home.He is throughly prepared, concise and focussed ALWAYS!
He has NEVER been invited on CNN or MSNBC, afaik. AND he’s an avid dog rescuer where he lives ( in Rio De Janeiro!)

[Tired of Taxes]

It all makes sense now.

[Sense]

Greenwald might be the only real journalist left on the left...

[Sense]

Hmmm. I’m pretty sure there is not a judicial body in operation that will give Parler a fair shake...

But perhaps it will still prove interesting to see HOW the system fails... as it does ?

The cynic in me being well fed by events these days...

The outcome, still, will likely depend on turnings in the tides of events...

The passions ruling events today... might not be the same force they appear to be today... when it finally reaches... whatever limit it will ?

Outcome may depend on how the election settles...

If Trump wins and cleans house at DOJ... then a reinvigorated anti-trust interest... paired with prosecutions of the RICO elements in a conspiracy... and the Fourteenth issues in a civil rights prosecution... might extend the value of the Parler investors spending on lawyers.

[Sense]

A fine pun...

[TBP]

It was an antitrust conspiracy and should be treated as such.

[TBP]

One of the very few.

[Sense]

You given them far too much credit for “not seeing” IMO.

I think they know EXACTLY what they’re imposing... as it is EXACTLY what they intend...

Their “moderation” in public face is a ruse...

They ARE as crazy as they appear.

8 Jan: NY Post: Kamala Harris’ top economic advisor is another ***BLACKROCK exec
by Thornton McEnery
BlackRock is cementing its position as the Biden administration’s go-to Wall Street firm.

Deese and Pyle, who will not require Senate confirmation, will be the first duo of the modern era to go from the same Wall Street firm to jobs as top economic advisors to the president and vice president of the United States.
