Glenn Greenwald: New bombshell coming

[flamingdem]

Go ahead Glenn and lay it on us! What better day that the FOURTH OF JULY.

Another big National Security Agency scoop is coming soon, Glenn Greenwald said on Tuesday.

“Just wait a little bit, you’ll have it,” The Guardian journalist who broke the NSA surveillance story said on “Fox & Friends.”

1. "said on Fox & Friends"

Gee, I wonder why GG thought he'd find a more receptive audience on the Republican propaganda network?

[flamingdem]

3. If you missed it he was pushing the latest meme about Obama intimidating "whistleblowers"

Glenn Greenwald rips Obama on ‘Fox & Friends’ for trying to ‘intimidate’ whistleblowers

The Guardian columnist who broke the story of Edward Snowden’s National Security Agency leaks told Fox & Friends on Tuesday that President Barack Obama was pursuing the leaker to “intimidate future whistleblowers.”

Glenn Greenwald explained to Fox News host Eric Bolling that more NSA leaks were coming soon and that there were “vast programs of both domestic and international spying that the world will be shocked to learn about that the NSA is engaged in without democratic accountability.”

Bolling wondered if the Obama administration even wanted Snowden to return to the U.S. “or is that going to look bad for them to have him in a U.S. court?”


“I think what the Obama administration wants and has been trying to establish for almost five years now with the unprecedented war on whistleblowers that it is waging is to make it so that everybody is petrified of coming forward with information about what our political officials are doing in the dark that is deceitful, illegal or corrupt,” Greenwald said. “They don’t care about Edward Snowden at this point. He can no longer do anything that that he hasn’t already done.”

14. So ...

GG is saying that more NSA leaks were coming soon and that ... the world will be shocked to learn about.", at the same time he's saying "They don’t care about Edward Snowden at this point. He can no longer do anything that that he hasn’t already done.”

I think the contradiction is obvious.

But what I find truly intriguing is that GG, extolled by many here as the voice who speaks truth-to-power, is hawking his wares on a 'news' outlet known to be the propaganda arm of the Republican party.

[flamingdem]

28. How inconvenient! GG shows his true colors: red, white and greenwald

I'm not sure I can accuse him of being after the Greenback, I think it's some kind of attention, and that's more insidious! He's got an ax to grind bigger than the Green Giant!

[Summer Hathaway]

32. And the fact that he thinks that ax

can be better honed on a Republican stronghold of a "news outlet" speaks volumes.

[VanillaRhapsody]

43. hmmmm now we have connections to the story with Hong Kong, Moscow, Bolivia ...and now Faux News...

Next stop Alex Jones's underground bunker/lair?

[Summer Hathaway]

45. Seems like the obvious next station

on the Crazytown Express, right after Paranoiaville and Persecution Complex City.

[VanillaRhapsody]

46. Duzy!

[Bobbie Jo]

57. LMAO!

[MADem]

34. So much for his "reporter" hat. Playing the tease is hardly the way to be taken seriously.

Then again, it is "Fox and Friends."

Glenn Greenwald of the CATO Institute shows us he knows what side his bread is buttered on, and who is doing the buttering.

[bravenak]

2. Yeah right.

He sho do like some attenshun! I agree with him sometimes but he's making it hard to take him seriously. Besides I love Obama, he hates Obama, I just don't think it will work out between us. I've been waiting for him to say something I didn't already know.

[flamingdem]

6. His bombshells are a bit of a

dud..

[JI7]

4. didn't he say this weeks ago ? why not just reveal it

?

[flamingdem]

7. For whatever reason he said the other day that there wasn't much else to reveal

at the same time he made this statement.

Poor Eddie Snowden is of course counting on the fact that he's still got some value! Fine friend he has with GG

[JI7]

10. i don't think GG is happy with how wikileaks/assange got involved

[flamingdem]

11. You mean that Assange grabbed the spotlight or

that they gave Snowden bad advice?

[JI7]

18. the spotlight mostly , but also the bad advice

just because he has to deal with answering it now.

i don't think he wanted snowden to reveal the stuff about us spying on others, e specially places like china and give that info to china.

i think GG mostly wanted to make it about how Obama is spying on americans . but now he has to deal with these other things which makes one seem kind of stupid and hypocritical.

[flamingdem]

22. Good point. Greenwald might have realized just how the optics would hurt him

I posted this below, your post made me think of this at first. The set up in Hong Kong was different than what we have now. Assange was seemingly distant. I suspect Snowden had his own connections with hackers there.


Then Snowden gave an interview to the South China Morning Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. -- kind of a connection to what we see Greenwald doing with Fox -- but what has never been clear are the terms of the admission of hacking by the USA. If that was his exit from China strategy or what. Greenwald at the time said he had to ingratiate himself with the Chinese (maybe in order to stay). But I can see that Greenwald knew it was a strategic error

[MADem]

35. There's also the question, since he knew Moscow Eddie BEFORE he took the BHA job,

if he had any role in goading/baiting the guy into doing what he did. From looking at Snowden's previous online conversations, he doesn't have self-esteem issues, and he does affect that "smartest guy in the room" attitude. So...did he just jump...or was he pushed?

[flamingdem]

36. That's where I have to wonder if he had hacker friends

who were helping or encouraging him.. and of course Greenwald who smelled a bigger story via BHA.

[MADem]

41. We will, eventually, get the full story.

Assuming he doesn't try to drown himself in an airport crapper, or attack someone in the airport in order to be jailed in Russia...! Of course, in the latter eventuality, they'd probably just deport the guy.

[VanillaRhapsody]

47. thanks for the visual!

drown himself in the airport crapper....priceless!

[VanillaRhapsody]

44. Yeah GG got mad that Snowden didn't want to dance with the date that brought him to the prom!

Instead when he got there he fell for that "dreamy" Assange guy </snark>

[morningfog]

52. That's not what he said. He said he is not getting anything more from Snowden.

He has info from SNowden that he has not released though.

[flamingdem]

8. Here's the link to that - 2 days ago he said this

5. GOLDSTEIN!!!

[flamingdem]

9. c'mom pwease weck my thwead

[frylock]

15. happy INDEPENDENCE day to you and yours!

[flamingdem]

19. The same to you and yours!

We're very lucky to live in this country, for the most part!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

62. Let 'em have this thread. It's kind of like a BOG field trip

And it lets them practice their talking points. The two minutes of hate is no fun at all when contradictory viewpoints are introduced.

[davidpdx]

12. You can't expect him to go on any of the other networks

Fox is fair and balanced right?

[flamingdem]

16. Separate but connected: Snowden gave an interview to the

The South China Morning Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. and I wonder about those connections to Greenwald. That was when he revealed information about US hacking in Hong Kong and China.

[ellie]

13. Fox & Friends?

Really?

I can't wait.

[Cha]

17. Get your red hot tickets right here! G's got Ass-ange and Snowden all lined up ready to

Go!

20. Oh yay, the cartoonists are getting into it!

Granlund has Assange down, in all aspects! Happy 4th!

[Cha]

21. Happy Fourth of July, flamingdem.. it's going to be a

beautiful day! Part of it is me being grateful we have Obama as POTUS!

[flamingdem]

23. You too Cha!

Times have changed, my what a difference this Potus makes!

[Cha]

25. Yeah, baby.. Malia will be 15 tomorrow~

[sheshe2]

24. I do believe that we have entered~~~

May your Twilight be Merry~ Happy 4th of July, flamindem!

[flamingdem]

26. Happy 4th sheshe2

I know what you mean, bewarrrrre the pig people!

[sheshe2]

37. Okay!

I was trying to go to sleep...but couldn't. I logged back on. and here I am

Thanks I so needed that!

Happy 4th~flamingdem!

[Cha]

29. LOL, she! I waited on Rod Serling at an Italian Restaurant

in Gainseville, Florida one evening back in the day. He brought students in from the University. I asked for his autograph on a menu. Good fun!

He called the restaurant later that night and asked if I could join him for a drink with his friends. Alas I had to say no because I was married!

I might know I was that close to the Twilight Zone. roflmao!

she

[Whisp]

56. good story. thanks!

You saw that signpost up ahead...

and it said: Don't Go!

lol.

[sheshe2]

80. Well, Cha

you must have made quite the impression on Rod Serling. Handsome man, was he not~

Just think, you could have become Mrs Cha Serling. Living your life in the Twilight Zone and opening doors with the key to your imagination! Living in a whole new dimension, wow how surreal is that!

A simple twist of fate sigh, you were married~~~~~

[Cha]

82. He was a cutie, she. I told him I didn't know who he was but the owner would

like his autograph.. he got a kick out of that.

We were living in California home two years later and I learned he had passed on from a heart attack in 1975. I was shocked!

I looked him up just now to find out that date(and really where I was living at the time) and saw where he was married, too! So, it would have been just a friendly little get together.

Turns out he was quite the activist.. and he was only 4 years younger than my Mom.

I always think of him though when I'm having one of my own personal little Twilight Zones.

[Cali_Democrat]

27. I LOVE your sense of humor flamingdem

This should be fun

Lay it on us, Glenn.

I'll be waiting patiently

[flamingdem]

30. It's Red, White and Greenwald for the Libertarian 4th of July!

Wonder if he'll think of his buddie over there in the Moscow pod hotel when the fireworks are a blazin'! If Snowball isn't homesick by now..

[flamingdem]

38. He's certainly doing their work

and we can only hope the Snowden situation snowballs into his work being examined and especially his role regarding knowing what was up before Snowball took the job at BAH

[BlueCaliDem]

39. It would be most interesting, indeed.

Maybe that's the reason why GeeGee is now openly courting Murdoch's propaganda channel as well? Hoping to keep friends in high places purely out of self-preservation just in case s**t hits the fan - and even a mediocre lawyer like himself knows that the noose is slowly tightening around his neck. I know, pure speculation on my part {maybe even wishful thinking}, but it's not a far-fetched scenario considering how important Republicans and TeaBaggers believe themselves to be, first and foremost and above and beyond everything and everyone else.

[flamingdem]

54. Hmm. Just remembered that there is an extradiction treaty between Brazil

and the USA. Greenwald may end up in Russia too!

[BlueCaliDem]

55. Oooh . . . GeeGee is going to need some serious traveling money should Snowden begin singing

like a canary and it turns out that GeeGee is more involved with Snowden's espionage than first thought.

Murdoch just might provide him with the much-needed moolah for those long, long trips and extended stays at airports.

[Skittles]

61. ASKING YOU AGAIN

WHY do you say GEEGEE???

[The Link]

64. That shit just got hidden above.

Shouldn't these other instances be hidden as well?

[Skittles]

68. HELL YES

[Number23]

72. Great Caesar's Ghost! A post hidden for saying something about GREENWALD??!

Where's the rubbing my eyes in shock smiley?

Oh my God, people can infer that the Democratically elected president is an affirmative action placement who also happens to be a Nazi, is an "empty vessel" that's a slave to the 1% and is trying to kill old people but voicing displeasure with GLEN GREENWALD is the one that gets a hidden post??!!

WHAT the...

[Summer Hathaway]

73. I just saw that hidden post

and had exactly the same reaction.

Looks like the jury system is "fair and balanced", too.

[flamingdem]

75. Wow, so now it's gay to call him GeeGee, I can see Gigi but not

GeeGee. That's ridiculous, someone was tres bored last night!

[Summer Hathaway]

76. Is THAT what this is about?

Seriously?

When did referring to someone by spelling out their initials as words become a homophobic slur??

And now the ultimate question: What did the BeeGees know, and when did they know it?

[flamingdem]

74. I can't find it.. ? nt

[Jamaal510]

77. This site is looking increasingly like it should be renamed

"Libertarian Underground".

[Skittles]

48. I'm just curious

but why "GeeGee"? Why not simply spell his name out or say GG? Or are you a homophobe?

[Luminous Animal]

50. Homophobe. And he's getting away with it over and over again.

[Skittles]

60. thanks for the tip!!!

I will act accordingly

[The Link]

65. Original instance was hidden.

Shouldn't the others be hidden as well?

[Bluenorthwest]

79. These Greenwald threads are like Sunday Morning at Westboror Baptist

Except for all the emoticons they use....

[noamnety]

58. At least they've been consistent.

"Gay marriage is for me unthinkable"

They aren't homophobic, as I'm sure they'll let you know. They just don't think gays are, you know, equal to everyone else.

[Skittles]

59. WTF - a DUer said that????

that's a fucking homophobe who needs their ass kicked - OFF THIS BOARD

[noamnety]

67. Some things are beyond predictable.

I knew from the nonstop repetition of greenwald's name as a feminine name that they'd have something to say against gay marriage. They were okay with civil unions, just not marriage because it's against the bible.

Sort of like Paula Deen with the N word - you know it's not just a word, there's a whole pattern there, but she can't see it because she has a black friend.

[Bluenorthwest]

78. Years of this, here is the quote and a link

"Gay marriage is for me unthinkable, but Civil Unions have my 100% vote. I believe that marriage is something done in churches, and the Bible does speak negatively about homosexuality.
However, allowed to be "married" by a Mayor, or a power-invested civil servant for gays, and lesbians, is right, and good.?

[Skittles]

81. so - gay folk can get on the bus, as long as they sit in the back

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

yup - that's those self-congratulating kind of homophobes who think they're being simply SWELL by allowing civil unions while thumping the Bible!!!

33. K & R

40. Oh, and K&R, flamingdem.

I almost forgot.

Oh yeah...exposure and attention!

63. Excellent point!

So much for his saving the world.

Yeh, I'll save the world, but I have to get my milk first!

what a putz.
what a sleazy creep.

[Cha]

70. Excellent damn point, Cake. Could it be

because Snowden needs a bargaining chip for a future country?

But, we're so in Danger, Danger!

[treestar]

51. Julian has some of those, too

He's been holding onto these exciting revelations for at least a year.

It's SOP for these types.

Yet they never reveal it, just keep dangling it, because it gets them attention.

[Scurrilous]

71. Didn't Assange claim to have the goods on BoA and Rupert Murdoch?

Still waiting.......
