The Intercept's editors went to the media reporters at both WashPost and The Daily Beast to voice all sorts of accusations against me. Their smear campaign never ends.

These are the emails I get when The Intercept and their well-funded staff attack me. Thanks for the harassment.
When will The Intercept stop endangering journalists and subjecting us to harassment campaigns by inciting this sort of hatred among their small but vicious readership?

They already have Antifa followers vowing to target the journalists attacked by them:

Also, I cannot wait for either one of these articles The Intercept tried to plant against me -- in the WashPost or The Daily Beast -- to be published so that I can publish my full responses to their questions about the Intercept and their top editors. 🙏
Just politely and patiently awaiting the "publish" button:
Still more harassment pouring in as a result of @TheIntercept's incessant attacks. Really appreciate you inciting this, guys.👍

The only reason Pelosi's More-Capitol-Police-Funding bill passed is because @AOC, @JamaalBowmanNY & @RashidaTlaib spent a year demanding "Defund the Police!" for everyone else, but then did what they had to (voted "present") to ensure they got more police funding for themselves:
It's one of the most cynical, opportunistic and deceitful things I've seen in awhile. Credit to @CoriBush, @IlhanMN & @AyannaPressley for voting with all GOP House members to try to stop this bill, but at least 3 Squad members ensured more police funding.

DEFUND THE POLICE!

DEFUND THE POLICE!

DEFUND THE POLICE!

Oh wait. What's that? Pelosi, Schumer and the Democrats want $1.9 billion more in spending for the Capitol Policing to protect *us*?

Hell yeah. Tell us what we have to do to make that happen.

The Squad Enables Pelosi's Massive Capitol Police Spending Bill While Cynically Feigning Opposition

greenwald.substack.com/p/the-squad-en…
Three Squad members -- all of whom recently chanted "Defund the Police" -- all had the power to kill a $1.9 billion increase in Capitol Police and security spending.

Instead, @AOC, @JamaalBowmanNY and @RashidaTlaib ensured its passage.
Three other Squad members -- @IlhanMN, @CoriBush and @RepPressley -- joined all GOP members in voting "no." But all Squad members previously said they opposed this.

So just enough of them voted "no" to create an appearance of radical resistance while achieving nothing.

Less than a year after Democrats and liberals led a nationwide anti-police protest movement, they unite to vote to spend $2 billion more to boost security at the Capitol (6 Squad members, to their credit, voted no or abstained).

This is what Insurrection hysteria is spawning:
No matter what is done to the police, those who control power and money will always have ample armed security to protect themselves, as House Democrats just demonstrated.
See this thread on why the Democrats' bill which just passed by one vote -- that, among other things, spends $2 billion more on Capitol police and otherwise increases security state measures at the Capitol -- is so dangerous:

Biden, Reversing Trump, Permits a Key Putin Goal: a New Russian Natural Gas Pipeline to Germany

greenwald.substack.com/p/biden-revers…
That Trump was controlled by Putin and served his agenda was the opposite of reality. First Obama, and now Biden, have accommodated Moscow far more.
Obama’s “meekness” when it came to Putin was a common line of attack from both parties and the foreign policy pundit class.

Meanwhile, Trump reversed almost every one of those accommodations toward Moscow, yet the demented conspiracy theory of Trump as Kremlin asset remained.

For the last year, anyone questioning let alone rejecting CDC/WHO guidance on COVID was vilified as an anti-science crank, to the point of being censored off the internet.

Yet it's now totally common for liberals with no scientific training to go on TV & reject new CDC guidance:
All "consensus" should be subject to questioning and dispute. There's nothing wrong with doing it.

But for most of the COVID pandemic, it wasn't allowed - certainly not culturally, and often at all. It's only allowed now that liberals don't like the new CDC guidance on masks.
If someone like @morningmika or @maddow or whoever wants to keep wearing masks, that is their right. I have no interest in critiquing that choice.

But if you go on TV and keep defending that choice, it is 100% an anti-vax message: you don't believe the vaccine really works.

Since the Intercept is *still* whining about how journalists objected to their abuse of a huge archive of private data on Gab users they got -- claiming we (and me) "lied" -- here's their own description, when begging for donations, of their intentions to target private people:
I'm not on the Intercept's email list (sadly). I learned of this horrific email when an ex-Intercept editor forwarded it to me, furious they were acting like the NSA/FBI: violating privacy, not protecting it.

And here's @mtaibbi on what they're doing:

taibbi.substack.com/p/reporters-on…
It's an ongoing pathology in liberal journalism. They think they can do whatever they want to people: make 20-minute films of their faces, baselessly accuse them of grave crimes, dig through their personal data.

But nobody can criticize *them* because doing so "endangers" them.
