A short while back, I wrote a comment to Elizabeth Vaughn’s piece about “Intel Leaks Point to Deeper US Involvement…” It was meant to expand what I think is going on, and how honest journalists, the few there are, are trying to get the truth out. Glen Greenwald is one of those journalists. There are others, but Glen is one of those rare progressives who has an open mind and is capable of seeing something, other than a narrative. He actually had to leave the news organization that he founded because his own peers were so vain and phony as to believe it was more valuable to have the support of their peers outside their news organization than to to report the truth. I’m just going to quote what I wrote, below, because I couldn’t keep the same thought if I tried.
“Interesting how Glen Greenwald had something to say about his time at the Intercept, a place he founded, but had to leave because of the problem his startup was trying to avoid. I paraphrase it below.
Looking at the last few presidents, particularly Bush and Obama, and their track record of starting large brush fires, Donald Trump, by comparison, lobbed several missiles in Syria as his worst real foreign policy offense.
Bush and Obama were the real offenders when comparing to how Trump handled conflict, making Trump the piker.
That makes Trump actually the more superior when dealing with adversaries, and the Bush and Obama the problems. Now, Biden, the lesser, is following with his unique style of engaging in mis-directed foreign policy, and his version is capable of starting a world war. Says a lot about Democrats and neocons, doesn’t it?
Greenwald was shocked about the way his peers were more concerned about their “appearances” among their peers than journalistic integrity, which is why he says he packed up and left. Glen admits, freely, that Trump was a much better president that the previous two, and that the current one is just flat out dangerous, which puts him in a precarious position with those former peers.
You have to look at a lot of garbage from the Obama administration, that was done by Biden as VP, regarding Ukraine, to get to where we are now.
Then, looking at how Democrats form foreign policy, you have to take a lot of crap with your ice cream to try to make sense of all of it.
My concensus is that, with all the pre-war damage that Biden and friends did to Ukraine, including all the money he and his son siphoned out, and all the time it took to set up WWIII, it can make one quite dizzy. We focus on recent headlines, about Zelensky being a Soros stooge, or some NAZI Brigade, when the problem that started all the Ukraine mess was straight up Democrat staging for future conflict, used to distract from every problem they caused domestically.
There are no honest players here, except for the one who lost a stolen election, and the Ukrainian people.
Huge deception game, too.
I mentioned something about Biden being the one who starts a nuclear war, not Putin, yesterday. Looking at it a little deeper and historically, does it not look more plausible, now? Biden has set in motion the probability of launching a nuke. Putin is trying to maintain his power, and learned a few bad strategic moves of the chessboard, while John Kirby is sent out to do his best imitation of a redhead who circles back, too often.”
I got most all of that from a couple interviews of Glen Greenwald, an honest journalist, who sees the forest from the trees, and the rest from my observations and filtering of all the deception games this administration has been throwing at us, in the form of “News.” Greenwald will tell you what you will never hear, and he is a progressive! Gee! Someone leaves out their own personal bias from an article of news. I thought that was the way it was supposed to be.
What’s amazing to me is that the vast majority of reporting that comes from the mainstream media relies on someone else starting a narrative, and that good ole “Journ-O-List”, with nary an original word in between, just repetiton that would make the likes of Joseph Goebbels so proud.
Turns out that the old saying “Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear”, pretty good advice.
It’s pretty apparent who I believe was one of our greatest presidents, and it’s also pretty good to hear an honest journalist report the facts, without all the bias and fudge thrown in. You don’t have to agree with someone’s base ideology to agree when they speak the truth. You also never know when that person may just change their mind about that ideology that they are still hanging on to, when they are honest enough to report the truth. We are being lied an awful lot about Ukraine, and Glen knows it. Because he is honest.

Glenn Greenwald is certainly no conservative, but at least he’s honest. In journalists, that’s a rare find these days.
Nor is Tulsi Gabard, but I like them both, for the same reasons. All I want is honesty. It’s easier to travel the road when people are honest with each other.
Funny, though, that Greenwald is probably more conservative than most who claim that title. He never utters the word, but he does claim to have a libertarian streak. Honesty is just about everything, especially when it is so lacking, nowadays, don’t you think?
Greenwald is a frequent guest on Tucker Carlson’s show and I always want to hear what he has to say. Your commentary on him explains the reasons why. And because he is a rarity in his field as you point out, his voice is important and needs to be heard. Unfortunately, the thousands of other voices on the loony left get the majority of coverage. As an aside, that alone would seem to make the Trump victory in 2016 incredible. Yet, I don’t think media bias during the 2020 campaign can be considered the main cause for Trump’s defeat with Biden getting an unbelievable 81 million votes. 2000 Mules, anyone?
I think he shares the same view as you, about the “Looney Left.”
I wasn’t sure what to think about him, during his Edward Snowden interviews. That took me a while, but he changed my mind on Snowden, and well, a lot of things.
It’s funny when someone can change my hellbent mind. I’d buy a car from Greenwald.
Those on the looney left, who have so much amplitude, don’t get heard when one turns the volume down. That’s one reason why the left has to cheat. 2020 was just the culmination of years of practicing cheating. As loud as the lefty behind the microphone and camera is, according to the ratings, they are barely watched or listened to, unless they are stuck in the car on the way to or from work. 2020 was cheating, period.
