Glenn Greenwald

We're very excited to be returning to @Substack after 3 great years of doing our live nightly show, System Update, on @rumblevideo. I'm particularly happy to be getting back to written reporting and long investigations. We'll have our first up today. greenwald.substack.com/p/welcome-back…

I can't properly describe to anyone under the age of 30 just how cool the Internet was before Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple turned it all into a walled garden of garbage and commerce.

@bosco99145 I'm not the one who reported and published this. It's CBS News, long owned by very pro-Israel operatives.

@ggreenwald Great detective and journalism work Glenn! You finally cracked open the Jewish pedophilia ring. Thank you for spreading the age old anti Semitic libel conspiracy.

Similar to when Israeli cyber official Tom Alexandrovich -- after meeting with NSA and other US agents -- was arrested in Las Vegas for trying to arrange hook-ups with underage girls. He was then bizarrely released with no restrictions, waltzed back to Israel, never returned.

@ricka0912 It is uncommon to release people with no restrictions who are accused of sex crimes involving minors. But one of the most basic precepts is that foreigners who live abroad are extreme flight risks and thus need special tracking/limits to ensure they don't flee.

@ggreenwald So, only Jews solicit and only Jews get released on their own recognizance? Last time I checked minorities get released in numerous blue cities and almost always are a recidivist. I don’t recall any comments from you? Can’t fund raise off of recidivism!

@Joshua_the_car It's mostly Saudi and UAE money flooding to Jared Kushner and Trump's kids, not Qatar.

@ggreenwald It’s the 1 thing you were right about Glenn. Conservatives must hold Trump accountable on his kids relationship with Qatar. Excited to talk about it with you on my show!

There was only one thing that surprised me about the Jubilee with MAGA die-hards. It wasn't that some people scream and refuse to stop talking. It wasn't that these were mostly young people cheering and finding purpose in wars but never fighting in them. It wasn't that their politics is more of a cult of personality. All expected and found in all factions. It was that, despite being political junkies, they had no idea about Trump's enormous corruption scandals because the corporate and independent media they consume doesn't mention it. They had no idea it existed:

@JrManqba @TheFlagGuy_ Can you believe he came here and said that "the courts dropped the charges because they obviously didn’t have a case." Then, when I showed him it's false, he just moved on to some other claim as if it never happened?

@TheFlagGuy_ @ggreenwald First u said the courts dropped the charges because they had no case but now say he was scheduled for trial...still no evidence to back up yr claim on the charges being dropped by the court though...👀

@TheFlagGuy_ You claimed: "The courts dropped the charges because they obviously didn’t have a case." Was that a true statement or a false statement? And yes, you dumb whore, a trial was scheduled, but there's no security as is usual to compel him to appear. So he can hide in Israel.

@ggreenwald The case from Las Vegas was scheduled for trial. He was not “released without restrictions”. You’re really a horrible journalist and debater. 8newsnow.com/investigators/…

@TheFlagGuy_ Who told you that? reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/j…

@ggreenwald The courts dropped the charges because they obviously didn’t have a case. Unless you have evidence to the contrary, your conspiracy theories are pathetic and immoral.

Welp! She just won $225,000 h/t: @adamsteinbaugh

@Ammo_irl @NecroSynthesis @systemupdate_ @grok How do you feel about Grok's answer? 😂

@NecroSynthesis @systemupdate_ @grok explain to @necrosynthesis how Greenwald uses an ad hominem attack rather than debate the merits

🎯 SO STRANGE: Nobody will go fight in the wars that they cheer on—why is that? GLENN: "You seem like a young guy to me. Have you ever thought about going and fighting in this war that you're cheering on?" MAGA LOYALIST: "Uh, I mean, I've thought about joining the military before. I don't know about this war specifically." (Translation: "No.") @ggreenwald breaks down the always-at-war mentality that has long possessed the United States.

Jake Auchincloss: -voted for the Moskowitz bill prohibiting the State Department from citing Gaza Health Ministry death figures -released a statement characterizing as a “modern-day pogrom” an episode during which Dutch locals attacked visiting Jewish supremacist soccer fans after the latter spent the weekend burning and vandalizing Palestinian flags while storming the streets of Amsterdam chanting “There are no schools in Gaza, for there are no children left” -publicly rebuked Amnesty International's 296-page “misleading and false report” compiling the evidence that led the organization to conclude in mid-2024 that Israel was guilty of genocide -on September 26, 2025 demanded Marco Rubio take swift action to "end Hamas's war on Israel" & said Hamas was "singularly responsible for atrocities in the Middle East right now." -is in other words, another in a long line of liberal coded Holocaust deniers cynically exploiting the memory of one genocide to prolong another that has already lasted nearly three years, even at the risk of prolonging the violence and plunder of Trump's clique of kleptomaxxers. Did I mention he's an abundance bro? Move to Israel Jake.

I totally agree that the rise of independent media is due the justified lost of faith and trust in the corporate media. The problem is that large platforms of independent media has copied some of its worst attributes, due largely to audience capture, and feeds people what they want to hear.

@ggreenwald @seanrcallaghan Probably because they've reported so much fake news before. At this point, listening to them is like listening to the boy who cried wolf. We need UNBIASED media. Thanks for your work, Glenn.

@seanrcallaghan They've mentioned it and some have reported on it quite a bit, but these aren't the media typically consumed by younger MAGA loyalists.

@ggreenwald That the likes of CNN, NBC News, the Times, and the Post, are not hitting the financial improprieties hard.

@LeeCZ73 AOC and Zohran are both DSA politicians who never chanted "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." Your question is dumb because that chant doesn't amount to a call for the US to finance, arm and fight wars for Palestine. But you have your answer. Now my question?

@ggreenwald I don't mind repeating myself either. Which DSA affiliated politician have NOT repeated "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", which is an explicit call for the destruction of Israel?

Whatever one's views are on these various issues, it should not be difficult to observe how bizarre and crazy and insane it is that so many American politicians stand up like this and emotionally vow to fight for one foreign country and the people who live in it:

@seanrcallaghan Why is what?

@ggreenwald Why is that?

@LeeCZ73 I don't mind asking one more time, but only one more time: Which US politicians **specifically** have been elected by running on a platform of financing, arming and fighting wars for Palestine?

@ggreenwald Show me DSA politician who hasn't repeated the phrase "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"

@michaelmaz13902 This discussion had no relevance to Israel. The one who raised it and interjected it despite that was you.

@ggreenwald Yet, your whole revolves around a peculiar hatred of Israel and trust in Islamists

@LeeCZ73 Which politicians specifically have been elected by running on a platform of financing, arming and fighting wars for Palestine?

@ggreenwald Seriously?!? You have got to be kidding me here. Pretty much every single person with any affiliation whatsoever with DSA, even tangential. Also, if you care to try reading what i wrote again, I said nothing about politicians, did I?
