Também debatemos quais lições a esquerda e centro-esquerda brasileiras podem tirar da eleição presidencial de 2020 nos Estados Unidos.

As estratégias usadas para derrotar Trump funcionarão no Brasil para derrotar Bolsonaro?

The Case For a Pardon of Edward Snowden by President Trump

greenwald.substack.com/p/the-case-for…
The real criminals are those @Snowden exposed: the security state officials like James Clapper and John Brennan who illegally and unconstitutionally spied on innocent people by the millions, and who still seek to do so. And they lied about it to the public.
"A US appellate court in September unanimously ruled the NSA’s program mass domestic surveillance program was illegal, as well as likely a violation of the 4th Amendment. The court, and the broader public, knew about this illegal surveillance by NSA only because of Snowden."

Mediocre journalists with no reporting accomplishments or record of bravery always hate most those who actually bring transparency to the world's most powerful factions and enable the most important scoops.

They're a mirror held up to these journalists, showing their failures:
If you know deep in your soul that you've never broken any major stories, and never took any risks to challenge powerful factions, and never will, is it really hard to understand why you would hate those -- such as Snowden and Assange -- who have done exactly that?
Also: it's pretty odd to declare everyone now agrees with you about Snowden as @ACLU, @RandPaul, @TulsiGabbard, press freedom & human rights groups all over the world, Lula, Dilma, and @nytimes declare him a heroic whistleblower who deserves a pardon.

Inventing your own reality.

That's *Dr.* Henry Kissinger.
The rules are not complicated, folks:

1) Love and respect your political leaders.

2) Deferentially address them only by their proper titles.

3) Know your place.

If you just follow these, a cloud of passive bliss cradles you that will foster personal and societal harmony.
To see the crudeness that results when proper titles of the ruling class are not honored, look at this 2017 WashPost article that viciously mocks PhDs who insist on being addressed as "Doctor." The context was "Dr. Gorka" but it has generalized derision:

If Trump follows through on a pardon of @Snowden, it'd be a huge victory against CIA/FBI/NSA abuses.

Everyone from @RandPaul, @mattgaetz & @TulsiGabbard to @ACLU, @BernieSanders & @nytimes have advocated this.

The only ones angry would be Brennan, Clapper, Comey & Susan Rice.
For those who still can't comprehend why Trump twice said he was strongly considering a pardon of Snowden, it's because -- as he's explains -- he feels personally aggrieved by the precise abuses of power that Snowden risked his liberty to expose.

Snowden -- being Snowden -- has used his platform to urge a pardon of Assange, which is vital for the same reasons and others.

Snowden is regarded as a hero around the world because he enabled everyone to see how dangerous & lawless the US Deep State is.

I've unlocked this article because I believe it's vital to document the historically corrupt behavior of the media, in with the intelligence community, prior to the 2020 election.

They knowingly lied -- over and over -- that the Hunter documents were "Russian disinformation."
The Iraq/WMD falsehoods were far more damaging, but at least they had the excuse they believed it. The Russiagate conspiracies were more sustained, but they could claim confusion.

This was a case of *purposeful* lying: they knew the docs were genuine & didn't come from Russia.
This isn't a story about Hunter Biden. People can debate the significance of his sleaze. It's about the media & the ongoing interference of CIA in US politics.

As soon as these *genuine* emails emerged, they invented a lie -- "Russian disinformation" -- that US media spread.

With News of Hunter Biden's Criminal Probe, Recall the Media Outlets That Peddled the "Russian Disinformation" Lie

greenwald.substack.com/p/with-news-of…
"The now-validated facts about Hunter are precisely those the U.S. media -- in tandem with Silicon Valley and the intelligence community -- suppressed based on lies."

The buried and censored @NYPost documents revealed exactly the transactions in China that prompted the probe.
They spread 2 CIA lies: 1) the docs were "disinformation" and 2) this came from Russia.

"That’s the choice these media outlets made. They got the election outcome they wanted. But they and their reputations and legacy will have to live with this choice."
