Was it some friend of a gay prostitute having a little fun with Glenn on Twitter? Or was it something else? Was it Israel? Glenn still talks about Israel. Was it Palantir? What did Glenn say about J.D. Vance 10 days before this happened? Is there a lesson to be gleaned from this story either way? Maybe he shouldn't have helped privatize the surveillance state.
Glenn's recent video is just him explaining how Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are not on our side when it comes to Gaza. He's right but then again, looking at his poisonous misinformation, neither is he and in fact, his disinfo is much, much worse thinking it comes from one of us.
scotty's sideshow TONIGHT at 5pm Eastern HERE
What follows the break are my notes for the video I am making now. This is just my way of getting all the research from this computer to the one I make videos with. However, still good info if you want to check it out while I am making the video.
DON'T FORGET... scotty's sideshow is tonight on Twitter feed at 5pm eastern.

Glenn;
I just took a look at your website and I haven’t seen a journalist obsess over an obviously fabricated news story like you are doing with Wikileaks since the Duke Lacrosse team rape case or Andrew Sullivan’s breathless blogging about the now discredited “tweets” coming out of Israel dealing with the staged Green Revolution in Iran. That’s really bad company to be in, Glenn.
You know Glenn, you have a total of 3 articles on your site since Nov. 30th that don’t directly deal with Julian Assange and of course none of them, none, are in any way critical of anything that he has done. Though his behavior has certainly been highly suspect as of late.
Glenn, you’ve gone well beyond biased journalism and are now delving into the realm of panicked hero-worship. It seems like the more obvious Assange’s agenda becomes, the angrier you get when people start taking notice and questioning his behavior. To that end, I am sure it isn’t going to be too long before you start quoting Abe Foxman and claiming that anyone who questions Julian’s integrity is an anti-Semite. I mean, your material is starting to look that thin and quite frankly, that desperate.
I’m not going to attempt to relate to you the questionable history of Wikileaks; how Cass Sunstein and other establishment journalists were writing about Wikileaks before they even posted one single leak (which is typically what Mockingbird operators would do to help promote the illusion of credibility for another Mockingbird operation) or how one of the original members of that group pulled out and said it looked like a CIA operation at the time.
I’m not going to insult you by suggesting you haven’t done your research.

Glenn Greenwald quits CREW over Wikileaks…. and exposes what I assumed had been the motivation behind his and many other left-wing dissenter’s motivation for blindly buying into the Wikileaks propaganda…
“I believe defense of WikiLeaks has become one of the greatest and most important political causes that exists” .
Personally I believe that ending the Global Free Market Wars and the neoliberalization of the U.S. and Europe is without any doubt, the most important political cause that exists, seconded only by the need for the establishment of a free Palestinian state (the end of the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem) and an end to the illegal inhumane blockade of Gaza.
Personally I think these are more important political causes….

What exactly was Aaron Swartz’ crime against humanity? Was it really that he “liberated” some academic papers from MIT in order to make them available without cost on the internet? Is that why the prosecution hit him with 14 felony charges facing 35 years in prison or was it something else?
Aaron Swartz was found hanged in his Brooklyn apartment a year ago today. Many, including those who profess to honor his memory and his activism, parrot the official talking points about Mr. Swartz saying he took his own life rather than face the possibility of going to prison.
That story is bullshit and anyone repeating it, ANYONE, is NOT to be believed in any fashion. Lest we forget:
“During plea talks held in the months before his death, federal prosecutors told Aaron Swartz and his attorney that the computer prodigy must spend six months behind bars and plead guilty to 13 federal crimes in order to resolve the criminal case short of a trial.” Boston.com article from 1/14/13
“The best deal the prosecutors would offer was four months in prison with Swartz pleading guilty to 13 felonies. And they warned Peters that his client had better take it while he still could.
“They told me over and over again that the offer had been on the table,” Peters says. “And any future offer would be less attractive.” Daily Beast 1/15/13
Granted, that is the defense attorney’s statements on the matter of the deal offered to Aaron Swartz prior to his “suicide”. Here is what the prosecutor herself said:
“… That is why in the discussions with his counsel about a resolution of the case this office sought an appropriate sentence that matched the alleged conduct – a sentence that we would recommend to the judge of six months in a low security setting. While at the same time, his defense counsel would have been free to recommend a sentence of probation. Ultimately, any sentence imposed would have been up to the judge. At no time did this office ever seek – or ever tell Mr. Swartz’s attorneys that it intended to seek – maximum penalties under the law.” Attorney Carmen Ortiz 1/16/13
Are we to believe this young man who stood up against SOPA and PIPA and won, took his own life rather than spend 6 months max in a minimum security facility (a.k.a. Club Fed)? Is this the level of discourse being offered up by various “alternative” sites across the nation and the globe on this, the anniversary of his murder?
Yes, Aaron Swartz was murdered. But there is a larger lesson here today for us to ponder.

Yes, Shelly, there really are monsters in the world.
“It is ironic in a way that the government thinks it’s alright to have a record of every single call that an American makes, but not alright for an American citizen to know what sovereign powers the government is negotiating away.” Congressman Alan Grayson
No. It’s not ironic. It’s completely logical when you understand the “unified field theory” of it all, otherwise known as our history. Then it makes perfect sense.
Yesterday I had to defend my theory on the Snowden psyop when a long-time reader suggested I was making connections that simply weren’t there; seeing some kind of overall agenda that blinded me to the real value of the selfless efforts of Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald.
“Maybe you should ask yourself if you are losing it. You are so caught up in some unified field theory that sucks up everyone and everything. I really appreciate your focus on neoliberalism the Snowden stuff and and Greenwald seems a stretch “ DBShell
Unfortunately I guess I am losing it. If I ever had “it”.
Yes, there is a unified field theory at work here. And yes, there is a reason all of these things are coming to fruition at this moment in time. Like the tumblers of a lock, they all have to line up, to click into place at just the right time, in just the right alignment, for the masters of the universe to open the gates to their New Mammon Dawn (mammon: material wealth or possessions especially as having a debasing influence)
And they are… whether one wishes to see it or not.

On a pleasant Sunday afternoon, sitting comfortably in his home in Rio de Janeiro with a nifty little green-screen at his back (what self respecting journalist doesn’t have one of those), Glenn Greenwald admitting he was well aware of his star witness’ potentially fatal character flaws prior to publishing his overly hyped article on NSA “secrets” that the world already knew about. Glenn then deliberately misrepresented the nature and scope of the NSA’s spying program and perhaps inadvertently offered up a glimpse of the real motivation behind the Snowden Psyop for anyone who cared to listen.
Over the past week and a half that I have been covering this story, my position has been that Glenn was probably just fed a bit of information on some new “Deepthroat” type whistle-blower and the promise of a Big Story … something on the lines of his work back in 2006 on the first (and the real) spying scandal leak when he went from being an obscure blogger to the toast of the town in the alternative media. I figured he was probably a dupe who had been set-up by his own paper, the Guardian, in order to lend this Snowden psyop some more credibility and in the end, to destroy a journalist viewed as the “professional left”. I concluded that Greenwald was not an active participant in the overall psyop strategy.
I cannot in good faith support that conclusion any longer.
Bellincat is an NED/CIA asset who have been exposed as liars from the very beginning. Glenn Greenwald's Intercept hosted a conference for Bellingcat in 2018 while Glenn was still running the show. Now Glenn comes out and rather than expose the bullshit story of Jack Teixeira as totally impossible, he validates it by acting as if the patsy actually did it.

UPDATE: Justin Raimondo has a good breakdown of the fraud of the USA Freedom Act and argues many of the same points I do.
Rather than fundamentally changing the way the NSA scoops up data, the bill merely outsources collection to immunized telecoms, compelling them to do the NSA’s dirty work…
The so-called “transparency” provisions in the bill contain numerous loopholes..
Some civil liberties groups, like the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, argue that the present bill is “a first step,” and is better than nothing. This is nonsense: this bill is worse than nothing.
——
“The bill will retain the essential operational capabilities of the existing bulk telephone metadata program while eliminating bulk collection.” James Clapper on his support of the USA Freedom Act.
Last night the USA “Freedom” Act, written by the same man who brought us the USA “Patriot” Act, Jim Sensenbrenner , failed to clear a key procedural hurdle in the Senate which would have allowed it’s supporters to bring it to the floor of the Senate for a simple majority vote, which it would win easily with the lame duck democratic Senate. The vote was 58 to 42, mainly down partisan lines with the dems supporting it by a wide majority. The pro-Business corporatist White House “strongly” supports the bill.
I have written on multiple occasions that the entire Edward Snowden psyop was designed in order to pass a new version of CISPA which 800 major US corporations sent advocates to D.C. to push for just a few months prior to the launch of the Snowden psyop.

(H/T Gretavo from WTCdemolition)
Peppered into the mix with information we already know, the CIA backed psyop called “Wikileaks” likes to toss out some pure disinformation which helps their various causes. In today’s case it’s nothing less than trying, once again, to connect 9/11 to Saddam Hussain in an obvious attempt to provide cover for the Bush administration’s illegal invasion of Iraq.
Lula does not support sanctions against Russia. Lula is opening up trade deals with China. Lula wont send weapons and munitions to Ukraine. And oh yeah, Lula is setting up Latin American common currency to use for trade to get off US dollar. Same thing Gaddafi did.

UPDATE: See update at end of article
UPDATE 2: See recent revelations about the Sunstein group’s recommendations. Here’s a hint : keep spying and collecting data.
UPDATE 3: Sunstein group recommended telecom companies collect and hold data themselves. See quote at end of article
——
Sunstein “government can supply these independent experts with information and perhaps prod them into action from behind the scenes,”
The Manufactured Hero Edward Snowden psyop is coming to a dramatic conclusion. While Sibel Edmonds is exposing Glenn Greenwald as the money-grubbing fraud that he is with help from a virtual army of Twitter pit-bulls (keep at it you guys), I happened to run across something new that should help put it all into a slightly clearer perspective.
This latest development along with the good work of Sibel Edmonds on this matter, should make the Manufactured Hero saga of Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald perfectly clear as nothing more than a psyop designed to ready the public mind to accept this year’s version of Big Business’ wet-dream… CISPA.
No two ways about it now. No question. We are in deep deep deep doo-doo folks. And Sunstein agent Greenwald is shoveling just as fast as he can.

UPDATE: Salon Calls Me an “Edward Snowden Truther”
Is Glenn Greenwald willingly setting the stage for the passage of the highly unpopular CISPA by helping to create this new “crisis” at this critical time? Is “the conversation” everyone is talking about us having, actually going to center around the passage of “Big Brother’s Friend” CISPA? I believe it is…
“The primary problem (with CISPA), according to Meeks, is that it tries to kill a flea with a baseball bat: Any alleged security the bill offers against potential hackers “comes at the expense of unfettered government access to our personal information, which is then likely to be sucked into the secretive black hole of the spying complex known as the National Security Agency.” Bob Adlemann, April 23, 2012
800 companies spent $68 million dollars lobbying congress to pass CISPA this past year. The first hurdle was the House of Representatives on April 18th of 2013. Glenn Greenwald was contacted on May 1st by Edward Snowden. Suddenly the talk is about “having the conversation” about privacy and security, the EXACT conversation that would be required in order to push something like CISPA into becoming a law.
That is, after the right crisis is created and the MSM hype it enough.
You think that’s a coincidence? That all of this is happening in a non-election year right before the bill is to go to the senate and eventually to Obama for him to sign? I don’t think so.

The problem was Edward Snowden, the reaction is the PCLOB and the solution is CISPA.
What is significant about the timing of the CISPA promoting army of corporate suits hitting D.C. right before the president and congress finally get the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) up and running (Obama never put this board into play even though they were supposed to be the agency reporting to congress about our civil liberties and mass spying by agencies like the NSA) and around the same time Edward Snowden is talking to Glenn Greenwald setting the stage for his big “groundbreaking” leak?
Why does Obama keep talking about “having the discussion” about the “right balance” between privacy and security while repeating the notion that the way to fix the current manufactured crisis has to include the private sector? Isn’t that “Big Brother’s Friend” CISPA?
Why is it OK to call Snowden a traitor (which could get him and other whistleblowers killed) but down right unacceptable to say it’s a psyop?
Why are people being dragged out of public forums for simply saying we don’t need to “have the discussion”?
What is the role of the PCLOB in CISPA? Are they connected?

Soon you’ll be able to rank Glenn Greenwald up there with Arianna Huffington, Amy Goodman and Oprah as the biggest and richest fake liberal sell-outs to the Business Party this country has ever produced. For the record, Clinton doesn’t count because he was always a fascist sell-out from day One.
With the help of a billionaire “philanthropist” (who’s main interest is creating “business centered solutions to the political problems in America”.. which ironically, IS THE PROBLEM with America, that’s it’s “business centered”) named Pierre Omidyar (of eBay) , Glenn is leaving his job at the Guardian to start up his own internet network providing “news’ and “journalism” to those people out there starved for more Sunshine Press Productions’ version of the “truth”
“Glenn Greenwald, who has made headlines around the world with his reporting on U.S. electronic surveillance programs, is leaving the Guardian newspaper to join a new media venture funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, according to people familiar with the matter.” Reuters
Yesterday The Intercept published a leaked five page NSA analysis about alleged Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. Its reporting outed the leaker of the NSA documents. That person, R.L. Winner, has now been arrested and is likely to be jailed for years if not for the rest of her life.
FBI search (pdf) and arrest warrant (pdf) applications unveil irresponsible behavior by the Intercept's reporters and editors which neglected all operational security trade-craft that might have prevented the revealing of the source. It leaves one scratching one's head if this was intentional or just sheer incompetence. Either way - the incident confirms what skeptics had long determined: The Intercept is not a trustworthy outlet for leaking state secrets of public interests.Our mistrust towards The Intercept get reinforced by the arrest of another of The Intercept's sources.
According to allegations in the indictment, beginning in April 2013, while enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and assigned to the NSA, Hale began communicating with a reporter. Hale met with the reporter in person on multiple occasions, and, at times, communicated with the reporter via an encrypted messaging platform. Then, in February 2014, while working as a cleared defense contractor at NGA, Hale printed six classified documents unrelated to his work at NGA and soon after exchanged a series of messages with the reporter. Each of the six documents printed were later published by the reporter’s news outlet. According to allegations in the indictment, while employed as a cleared defense contractor for NGA, Hale printed from his Top Secret computer 36 documents, including 23 documents unrelated to his work at NGA. Of the 23 documents unrelated to his work at NGA, Hale provided at least 17 to the reporter and/or the reporter’s online news outlet, which published the documents in whole or in part. Eleven of the published documents were classified as Top Secret or Secret and marked as such.The indictment (pdf), filed on March 7 under seal, includes a list of the meetings and communications that Hale had with the reporter. The first one took place during the reporter's book tour in April 2013 in Washington DC. During that time frame Jeremy Scahill, one of the Intercept's founding editors, was on a national book tour promoting his book about Blackwater. Several stories written by Scalhill based on secret documents were published in the time frames given in the indictment...
