Glenn Greenwald told FOX News host Jesse Watters that President Donald Trump is the first president in his lifetime to keep his promises once he took office. In an interview on Thursday, Greenwald added it remains to be seen whether Trump can override the establishment forces in his party. JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: So put your chin up and your shoulders back. Today was a good day. Substack columnist Glenn Greenwald joins me now. Glenn, how do you think people are grappling with the speed of the change? GLENN GREENWALD: I think it depends who the people in question are....

Betsy Reed is the US editor of the U.K .Guardian. She happens to have a case of extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome. And she wears that bias proudly in order to fundraise from likeminded readers of the US edition of The Guardian to the extent that her bias comes off as flatly comical. You can read Reed making her pitch at the bottom of this Sunday article about a lost tribe of indigenous people deep in the Amazon. You can see Reed begin her pitch with this title: "Why you can rely on the Guardian not to bow to Trump –...

Charlie Kirk and Glenn Greenwald Discuss the Unspoken Power of the DNINovember 27, 2024 | Sundance Keep pushing the TRUTH folks; just keep pushing. I’m going to call this a ‘win’ because this is the first time I have seen an accurate discussion of the little-known power of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).More than two decades ago, it was a commonly accepted discussion point that the intelligence apparatus within government was a system of intensely protective silos of information. Heck, the entire precept behind the creation of the ODNI was to put one person into a...

There’s a lot up in the air right now about what will unfold after the biggest and most historic election of our lifetime. One thing we know for certain is that President Trump is assembling the ultimate America First team, but we also know the Deep State will stop at nothing to stand in his way. This is truly a battle of good versus evil, and our fight is just getting started. Amid all the questions and uncertainties, one thing is crystal clear: the fake news media is crashing and burning before our very eyes, and we have President Trump...

Journalists and political commentators responded on social media to an article from The Atlantic comparing former President Trump to multiple fascist dictators, including Adolf Hitler. The Atlantic article, headlined, “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini” was published Friday. “The former president has brought dehumanizing language into American presidential politics,” Atlantic writer Anne Applebaum argued. “When you spend 8 years calling a person every bad name you can think of — including Hitler — only to see that it’s not working, so you desperately decide the only thing left for you to do is call him all the bad...

Ukraine’s American-backed fight against Russia is being waged not only in the blood-soaked trenches of the Donbas region but also on what military planners call the cognitive battlefield – to win hearts and minds. A sprawling constellation of media outlets organized with substantial funding and direction from the U.S. government has not just worked to counter Russian propaganda but has supported strong censorship laws and shutdowns of dissident outlets, disseminated disinformation of its own, and sought to silence critics of the war, including many American citizens. Economist Jeffrey Sachs, commentator Tucker Carlson, journalist Glenn Greenwald, and University of Chicago Professor...

“Democratic Party elites such as those on CNN are not just angry but genuinely confused by the fact that American voters don’t obey them.” — Glenn Greenwald. What’s most amazing about the fiasco that was the French Revolution is that it happened at exactly the same time that the United States successfully organized themselves into an orderly and effective government following the American Revolution. George Washington was elected and sworn-in by April of 1789, with the backing of an exemplary constitution assembled by the best minds in the land. The Bastille fell in July that same year. France then fell...

MSNBC cancels Mehdi Hasan's show in major shakeup of its weekend lineup: Islamist "far-left" host has criticized Israel's war on Hamas and once compared non-Muslims to 'animals' and homosexuals to 'pedophiles'. It comes after Hasan's strong on-air criticism of Israel provoked backlash online. Formerly he hosted (propagated) at 'Al Jazeera' and 'The intercept.'In 2021, Hasan rushed to defend Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., who suggested the U.S. and Israel were just as guilty of "war crimes[sic]" as terrorist groups like Hamas and the Taliban.In April 2023, Mehdi Hasan lashed out after being fact-checked on twitter for his statements on racial...

What do we make of former friends who fell down the rabbit hole of the Right? How to name the rude currents eroding the Left, those which have claimed the hearts, minds and Substacks of so many former friends and fellow travelers? There are the journalist-provocateurs and the readers who have followed them rightward, the Trumpers-come-lately marching on to Glenn Greenwald’s Rumble or vanishing into Max Blumenthal’s Grayzone. There are those not quite yet there, such as Ana Kasparian of The Young Turks, currently mourning the leftism she now believes ​“gaslit” her about a ​“crime wave” it refuses to admit....

@ggreenwald On Monday night, Tucker Carlson argued that while all decent people view Hamas' massacre of civilians with revulsion (and only the most marginalized people have praised it), this is not an American war, but an Israeli war. Ben Shapiro responded here to that argument

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald announced on Tuesday that his husband, Brazilian lawmaker David Miranda, has died at age 37 after battling a severe infection for most of the past year. “It is with the most profound sadness that I announce the passing away of my husband,” Greenwald tweeted to his two million Twitter followers on Tuesday. SNIP Greenwald added: “His death, early this morning, came after a 9-month battle in ICU.”

One of the most important lessons we’ve learned while watching the Trump indictment drama unfold is that if you happen to point out that the DA heading it up, Alvin Bragg, can thank funding from George Soros for his position, you’re an antisemite. That’s the only possible reason you’d ever bring up George Soros. You hate Jews. Sure, he’s a left-wing billionaire who’s put his money behind some horrible causes and people, but don’t you dare bring any of that up unless you want to be accused of antisemitism. It’s actually really annoying, because Not antisemitic: George Soros gave one...

Members of Eastern European Organized Crime Group Allegedly Plotted to Murder a U.S. Citizen of Iranian Origin in New York City Who Has Publicly Opposed the Iranian Government A federal court in New York today unsealed murder-for-hire and money laundering charges against three members of an Eastern European criminal organization for plotting the murder of a U.S. citizen who has been targeted by the Government of Iran for speaking out against the regime’s human rights abuses.

Don't be distracted with the drama about Russia, China and other nations. Don't even be distracted with the drama about Joe Biden and classified documents.

After Nancy Mace’s NUCLEAR questioning of Alejandra Caraballo (and if you haven’t seen it yet, watch below, it’s A-MA-ZING), Glenn Greenwald was good enough to put a thread together taking the ‘online safety expert’ who openly wished violence on SCOTUS justices apart. As usual from Greenwald, this is pretty damn good: This is a brilliant exchange by @NancyMace yesterday in Congress. There is a tiny group of hateful left-liberal fanatics whom have been arbitrarily dubbed "Online Safety Experts" and constantly warn hateful rhetoric incites violence. Yet they're the most hateful people around. https://t.co/bI7fdata0C — Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) December 14, 2022...

The corrupt Brazilian Supreme Court has again moved up the certification of the steal, proclaiming convicted Communist criminal Lula da Silva President overnight, angering patriots and accelerating the push for a military takeover. The Military has called for volunteers to help restore democracy in Brazil. Leftist Journalist Glenn Greenwald criticized Supreme Court censorship of elected representatives and journalists. The Superior Electoral Court (TSE) was originally scheduled to confirm the steal Dec. 19, but moved up the date one week in the face of military preparations to protect Brazil from the coup under Article 142 of the Constitution. In a desperate...

When Russian President Vladimir Putin granted citizenship to NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden on Monday, the news revived a long-simmering debate about the propriety of his revelations of U.S. government secrets. At the same time, it prompted reiterations of a widely-embraced falsehood: that Snowden “fled to Russia.”The disinformation-trafficking wasn’t limited to random people on social media. Among others, The New York Times, The Guardian, ABC, Christian Science Monitor and Canada’s CBC all asserted in the past week that Snowden “fled to Russia” in 2013 after revealing that the United States government had created a mass surveillance regime targeting its own citizens,...

Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald laid out a damning thread outlining what he called the “regime of censorship” — which he said was largely supported by Democrats in Washington, “disinformation experts,” and several others. Greenwald initially raised the alarm and left The Intercept — the outlet he cofounded — when he was asked to sanitize an article he was writing about then-candidate Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and their past dealings with both China and Ukraine. And in the months since, he has been vocal about coordinated attempts within corporate media to shield Biden and other Democrats from criticism. “The regime...
