Glenn Greenwald’s Tweets

It will be very difficult for anyone to claim the 2024 election campaign is fair, since at least two of the candidates (RFK and Trump) have been subject to extensive censorship and “visibility filtering,” and a third, Cornel West, represents a party that’s been denylisted.
Quote Tweet
The extent to which Google is acting to censor RFK Jr. -- especially as he rises in the polls against Joe Biden and receives more attention -- is very striking and revealing. Big Tech now routinely censors elected officials and, of course, did so to the sitting US President. twitter.com/Lukewearechang…

It's so clear Fox's firing of Tucker was not just financially driven, bereft of the Murdochs' and Paul Ryan's ideological goals. Firing Tucker destroyed its prime-time ratings. There's no argument Tucker's twice-a-week Twitter postings compete with Fox. They want him silenced.

The 8pm slot on Fox with Tucker was not only consistently number 1 in the key demo - 25-54 - but routinely had 400,000 viewers or more. Without Tucker, it's crashed to worse-than-MSNBC levels: barely 100,000 people. Hannity is in 14th place, behind Joy Reid! A total collapse.

1/n Many thanks for all your support these last few days, after the Steve Bannon’s dog whistle accusation and the Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, RFK Jr pile on, the online aggression, and even a stalking just for bringing home a Father’s Day cake, I didn’t know what to think or say.

These people purposely turned themselves into TV and social media stars, all to influence policy. They fostered vaccine mandates, forcing people to take vaccines upon threat of losing their jobs. Now we're told they're too elevated to debate anyone:

Who would have ever guessed CNN would immediately bring in a former federal prosecutor who worked for Preet Bharara to defend both Hunter Biden and the Biden DOJ? This is so out of character for them: relying on US Security State officials to defend the Biden Administration:

CNN defends the DoJ for letting Hunter Biden off the hook for facilitating corruption & other major felonies: "This is not a sweetheart deal."

Holy shit: beyond demanding everyone stay home - until he found a protest he liked and demanded everyone go - Prof Hotez MD Phd also blamed Russia for vaccine skepticism, demanded skepticism be treated like "terrorism": with "aggressive" coercive action:

Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD is far too elevated and serious of a scholar to lower himself to debating RFK Jr. on Joe Rogan's program. He's an esteemed man of science who confines himself to the lofty heights of peer-reviewed journals -- and to interviews on TMZ.

PETER HOTEZ: John Stewart's lab leak joke is an "attack" on science that "causes a lot of damage".🤦‍♀️

Every establishment hack - along with Google - is insisting RFK be denied all platforms, that nobody debate him: as usual, that's their only tactic regarding dissent. But it's also to pretend Biden has no challengers, and to shield Biden from having to defend all of that.☝️

Q. from : "Why are you running?" : "My party, Democrats, has become the party of war; become the party of censorship; it's become the party of pharmaceutical companies; of the neocons: this very aggressive belligerent foreign policy of forever wars."
Quote Tweet
I really hope everyone listens to RFK's Rogan interview. He's not running on vaccines. He's running on: 1) Stopping neocons' love of Endless Wars; 2) Evils of the US Security State (CIA/NSA/FBI). 3) Regulatory capture by industry: All things liberals claimed to care about.

. on Bill Kristol & this new Neocon-Dem alliance: "The Dem party has completely reconstituted itself to become neoconservative to the core—it's not just Bill Kristol, it's almost every neocon from the Bush-Cheney era... They recognize the Dem party for what it is."

This tweet shows a key truth about divisions in the GOP: one almost everyone on the right realizes, and almost no Dems do: Neocons and pro-Bush pundits are now either Dems, or barely in the GOP to defeat Trump, because they sill crave these values of the Bush/McCain/Romney GOP: twitter.com/catturd2/statu…

The most rotted establishment trick is to label dissidents as "conspiracy theorists": even as it is those hacks who peddled insane conspiracies on Iraq and Trump/Russia. But RFK knows the game, arguing establishment voices don't matter. Can reach voters with independent media.

Such a perfect example of how establishment critics are maligned by hacks: RFK said multiple times before and with Rogan that $8 trillion was for Iraq. He clearly misspoke here. He said "$100b" for Ukraine. Biden's major lies are all ignored. Tiny RFK mistakes are exploded.

And many if not most of the leading voices in support of Biden's endless proxy war posture in Ukraine are all the neocons who have supported and lied about every American war of the last 20 years: from Iraq and Afghanistan to Syrian and Libya and beyond.

On creepy aspect of neocons is how incestuous and nepotistic they are. Jonah Goldberg, Kristol, Podhoretz, David Frum all had famous political parents. The Kagans: Victoria Nuland is married to Robert Kagan, with Kimberly and Fred Kagan, son of Donald. And now this:

If you don't recognize these fundamental and radical ways that Trump changed the GOP, then you cannot understand anything about the current moment of US politics. Traditional Republicans understand it. It's why they almost all despise Trump:

When I first starting writing about politics in 2005, neocons were regarded by liberals as the devil. Nobody was hated more: for good reason. Now that they're Dems again, the word is all but banned. No Dem asks why neocons and Bush operatives view the Dem Party as superior.

It makes complete sense for neocons, and hard-core Bush supporters, to have joined the Dem Party or at least support Biden. That's the Party most hospitable to these "establishment Bush GOP Party" values. I don't blame neocons and Bush/Cheney acolytes for supporting Biden.

Just FYI, @PeterHotez was one of the “scientists” who was fine with Black Lives Matter protests but condemned anti-mandate protests. But sure, he shouldn’t have to defend his views to anybody. He’s the science.

The key charge is Bolsonaro abused his power by attacking the integrity of Brazil's election system. In 2017, when Lula was leading all polls, he was declared ineligible to run by an establishment who thought they'd get their center-right party. They got Bolsonaro instead.

Brazil's election court begins its process that may declare Jair Bolsonaro ineligible to run again. Despite COVID, Bolsonaro lost in 2022 to Lula by less than 2 points. The fear is that, in 2026, Lula will be 80 and ran as the incumbent. Banning Bolsonaro solves that problem.

The media's tactic for trying to malign and destroy Substack -- once it started growing -- was to also call it a place for "right-wing culture warriors." It was always a lie, but they kept saying it. Only once Substack signed its 1,000th media liberal did that narrative stop.

I would say this will makes it more difficult for corporate media to keep calling Rumble a "far-right" site, but I know how willing they are to lie about its enemies. His campaign manager is Dennis Kucinich. He's been a Dem for life. But they'll now just call him "far right."
