Comments by "L.W. Paradis" (@l.w.paradis2108) on "Glenn Greenwald" channel.

  1. I think Kasparian's accusation against Aaron Mate, that he denies children were killed in gas attacks and other war crimes, is even worse than the now-cliched accusation of being with the Russians, etc. Especially because AARON is the one who wants to find out who committed these heinous acts.

  2. We owe Glenn a lot. Thank you, Glenn.
    66
  3. Glenn, thank you for interviewing a truly principled man. I am so impressed.
    48
  4. So the bottom line is, anyone who expressed skepticism of the vaccine must now demonstrate their loyalty by getting vaccinated. It's not about their need for a medical procedure.

  5. My biggest surprise has been how they've been able to petrify people with COVID. Newsflash: Man is mortal.
    38
  6. Not to mention the demand to prove over and over and over that they are not fascist or racist, no matter WHO they are. Clearly a loyalty oath, a demand for ritualistic self-flagellation. Glenn helped get Lula Da Silva out of prison, fights for Assange, and needs bodyguards. But this kid thinks he is better than Glenn.

  7. Interesting that the Indian press covered extensively the Serb opposition to an (Anglo-Australian) Rio Tinto lithium mine on their territory, and Djokovic agreed with the demonstrators, including those who broke the law by blocking highways.
    32
  8. The worst is that they bombed cities and region with anti-Milosevic governments in place. And the bombs contained substantial amounts of Depleted Uranium (DU). Americans always get to define "human." That's what money can buy.
    31
  9. What saddens me is how rare it is for anyone to be as fair to Glenn as he is to everyone. Due process and presumption of innocence cannot be allowed to deteriorate further.
    28
  10. I thought the evidence was sufficient to convict Rittenhouse with respect to recklessly endangering Richard McGinnis (jury instructions, pp 6 - 10, especially 8 - 9). Other than that, I expected acquittal. But as a matter of PRINCIPLE, I believe minors should not be tried as adults. Love Glenn's ending. Thank you, Glenn.
    25
  11.  @docpittillo  Yes, Glenn is tremendously well-educated and hard working, and older. And has an unusual devotion to principles and care in sharing only actual facts. Of course he's going to be better. Still, good on Steven. Glenn welcomes him and expresses appreciation. Perfect.
    18
  12.  @jeeperspeepers8323  An "invasion" is what Russia did to Ukraine, the US did to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, etc. Maybe expand your vocabulary?
    17
  13.  @zacharyrivera566  Exactly. He especially should not have ghosted Dore and invited Cenk's nephew to replace him -- who proceeded to use sexist language on the program.
    16
  14. Those who did worse are the first to condemn. That is as ordinary and as banal as the horror of war itself.
    15
  15. I think that government leveraging private monopoly power to censor speech based on content, or to impose prior restraints, should be considered a government/state action prohibited by the First Amendment (absent a compelling government interest to justify it).
    15
  16. For people who understand French, see Benjamin Bayard. He says that European laws and American laws concerning personal privacy and data ownership are in direct conflict and irreconcilable. See, for example, Bayard on Thinkerview. Staggering.
    13
  17. Alexander Cockburn wrote for The American Conservative, whenever he was sure his anti-war position could be furthered by joining forces with them. Because war is that much of a horror and it must be stopped.
    11
  18. Don't imagine his ethnicity has nothing to do with it. The elephant in the room.

  19. Glenn, you look GREAT. Did you finally take a well-deserved vacation? Hope so!!

  20. ​ @slee2819  Look, they're all terrible. Face the truth. Don't be scared.

  21. Ana gained a lot by using both tactics. Think about all the relationships she obliterated.
    10
  22.  @jimpollard113  The jury agreed. It was, however, within the law to convict, and a different jury might have thought otherwise. The facts were totally misrepresented by MSM, and Rittenhouse, a minor facing adult charges (which I do not agree with doing to any kid), was smeared. And now, the law with respect to self-defense is being misrepresented. I see nothing good here. Less bad than a conviction for any intentional homicide, which had zero support in the evidence. No one standing up to question the practice of trying juveniles as adults in the first place. Rittenhouse, a lost and traumatized kid, being lionized(!!!) And still being smeared, for that matter. MSM doubles down on smearing him. Nope, nothing good.

  23. You didn't miss it, you caught it.

  24.  @chazbennett8676  I meant the concerted one, with 70,000 troops allegedly ready to attack, OBVIOUSLY. Everyone knows about the 8 years of attrition.

  25. We (in the US) live in a society with a history of horrific eugenics movements. The thought that very young adults who are LGBTQ+, nevermind children, are undergoing treatments that could prevent them from having the opportunity to be birth parents one day, *if* they so choose, is starting to sound REALLY sinister to me. We can't TALK about this? Oh brother.
    9
  26.  @hb-youtube  Great point. Bully-cry in a nutshell. It's sinister.

  27. BORING GUY, this "Nicholas." How old is he? Has he had freshman rhetoric yet?

  28. Thank you so much, Glenn. Yes, complaining about mean tweets is obscene. No one would believe it if it weren't in our faces every day.
    9
  29. Moral clarity that is rare. Thank you.
    8
  30.  @goingconcern  Did you read the instruction? McGinnis was an unarmed bystander, and a reporter and video producer for an independent CONSERVATIVE publication. He was in the line of fire. (Oops. So much for facts, you too, huh?) As a matter of law, self-defense cannot be carried out recklessly, to endanger bystanders. That's why the instruction was included.
    8
  31. The first post knows Glenn is a lawyer.

  32. Maybe he's just not that smart?

  33. One employer is one thing, egregious as it was in this case. But EVERYONE was in on it. All the mass social media platforms CENSORED it.
    8
  34. I had never seen Drag Queen Story Hour, and had heard about it once, thinking it had happened only once. So I had to check out some performances online. The few I saw for very young children were no racier than having a clown read to kids. If something else is going on somewhere else, that's different.

  35. I thought becoming the best tennis player is something people have to work hard for, not something Australia hands out. So, it's the sports betting industry that produced him? I believe it. /s
    7
  36.  @e_8074  Agreed. I do see the point that this guy is pretty bad, though. But Glenn warned us, and kept his word.
    7
  37. In a society with a horrifying history of eugenics, someone thinks we shouldn't question whether a prepubescent child, or any minor, ought to be offered sexual reassignment, which usually renders them unable to have children. I think everyone should have the same opportunity to become a birth parent, trans or not. I believe in preserving reproductive rights. Deciding whether or not to have birth children is something adults have the right to do. Any treatment that could take this freedom away from a child could only be a last resort, after everything else has been tried, and has clearly failed. Of course I've been denounced for this view.
    7
  38. And they have the nerve to point the finger at Soviets, who bore 80% of the brunt of defeating Hitler. They had 10,000 times 9/11 before going berserk.
    7
  39. When he commiserated with Elon Musk about being "tricked" into signing permission for his first-born to transition, that really took the wokester cake. Hey, I get it. Second opinions are expensive.

  44. NLG took out NOTEPADS and wrote down what he was doing! 😂😂😂😂 That's called the Legal Observer program, and it is not "unacceptable."

  45. The only person of real stature involved with that outfit is Nadine Strossen. I can't picture Glenn joining Bari Weiss. Can you?
    6
  46. Take a close look at Ana's DM. She also took quite a swipe at Jimmy's wife. Wow. That's a feminist all right.
    6
  47. To refuse a vaccination you don't need is a PRIVILEGE? I'm leaving the Five Eyes by 2024, thanks for confirming what I already knew.
    6
  48. So well put.
    6
  49.  @MuantanamoMobile  A black kid in Rittenhouse's position could never survive a night like that one. The police praised these militia and thanked them. (More adults doing the wrong thing. Have they been investigated for encouraging vigilantism?) They would have mowed down a black youth.
    6
  50. He has needed top-flight bodyguards for years.
    6
  51. @Penny-em2cs  The real irony is that he was apparently a very good psychotherapist (his advice to people having issues in their workplace is perfect), and that that's the license he has to defend! Wow. The one thing he could do . . . smh. As for the modern workplace, he says that you must identify whether your performance is deficient, or whether your coworkers are bent on undermining anyone who works hard, and that you have to be brutally honest with yourself about which it is and then act on it, post haste. 100% right. Take it from a lawyer who has seen these cases.
    6
  52.  @daysjours  There are certain "hot button" topics that can now ruin a career, and very few people have the sheer courage to address them. People simply shy away. Glenn was just on Briahna Joy Gray's podcast discussing trans people, and the fact that the label "transphobic" can now destroy a person. (Excellent podcast -- Briahna was outstanding.) It may not be obvious but showing that TicTok of a transwoman taking notes on pronoun errors to save for later use was very brave.
    6
  53. I'm curious whether in fact an attack on the Donbass region from right-wing Ukrainian forces was imminent. I don't believe the Russian response was anywhere near proportionate, much less justified. But the real point is, we should WANT to suspend judgment until we know. Why should anyone WANT to dehumanize any victims? Trick question, no one should. Ever. We've had DNA forensics for decades -- since the last century -- and we STILL have innocent people on death row. What does it take?

  54. I didn't know he was straight until it was specified.
    5
  55.  @matthall2425  People who suffer from feeling distraught over their bodies and their young love lives have said they felt pressured to define themselves as trans, rather than to allow themselves the time and space to explore their identities without anyone mucking with them. I don't know how large the problem is. It may be relatively small. Whenever it ends up with anyone on powerful medications, we should take notice. I thought we had learned that part.

  56. She is so elitist that she doesn't think censoring books is a big deal anyway. Only her students and her children and her friends' children read books anyway.
    5
  57. They wave a Ukrainian flag.
    5
  58.  @lachlanbell8390  So you're saying that as a matter of law, the Richard McGinnis instruction should have been refused? The mens rea for recklessness is defined in the instructions. The McGinnis incident occurred BEFORE Rittenhouse was struck by anyone, so this essay you wrote is irrelevant. "Intent" is a term of art which is NOT synonymous with mens rea. A NEGLIGENT homicide must have a mens rea, but certainly not "intent," or "recklessness." You're right. You didn't read.
    5
  59. "Slogan" -- the perfect characterization! :)
    5
  60. I knew NBC lied, I had no idea how much.
    5
  61.  @natejones8508  I said it is rare for anyone (example: Intercept) to be as fair to Glenn as Glenn is to people he despises (example: Gaetz), much less those he respects (examples: Assange; Snowden). Intercept violated his contract with them. He was willing to publish his story elsewhere, as he had a right to do under the terms of his contract. They denied that he did, then made ridiculous personal attacks against him. He made the correspondence public. Greenwald is more fair to the likes of Gaetz than Intercept was to him. And he was a founder of The Intercept.
    5
  62.  @natejones8508  The story he proposed didn't violate anyone's rights, claim Hunter should be indicted, for anything, or claim Hunter was already indicted, or about to be indicted, and on top it it, the story turned out to be factually accurate. In one case, there is a pending investigation, as there should be. In the other, we are supposed to believe "Russia did it!!"
    5
  63. Perfect, sadly.

  64.  @daysjours  Anyway, Kyle does not strike me as sharp enough to see through it. He'll look for signals from other people for how to act.
    5
  65.  @gilbertrosa7330  Glenn is right about the uncanny power of social media. I want to say anti-social.
    5
  66. Yes -- a war on civil rights and, even more so, civil liberties.
    5
  67.  @jocksharerock7318  Glenn just demonstrated that Biden lied (or is incompetent) only weeks ago.
    5
  68. You forget that a person with standing to challenge a government act has to bring a justiciable case first, and there are strict rules concerning where the case has to be filed. Glenn explained how that works. If the district court exceeds its powers, there are emergency appeals or even mandamus. No judge reaches out to decide these cases.

  69. I think he has a sh*t-eating grin. A/k/a "duping delight."

  70.  @gherieg.1091  So end the embargo. Let them fail all by themselves. I though the US "believed" in "free" markets. So, drop all embargoes everywhere, except for armaments.

  77. Something wrong with her.

  78. If this were not so tragic and desperate, it would be funny.
    4
  79. Nowhere does Glenn deify this poor, troubled kid. It's not about "sides," but about due process and real evidence. That's the point.
    4
  80.  @MuantanamoMobile  And can you imagine what being smeared by one group and lionized by another is doing to a young mind that is already on the edge? It's abuse, from both. And these are adults. Glenn was 100% right about the speculation concerning whether he was faking tears. His lawyer said he's being treated for PTSD, which is believable as he seems to have episodes when he can't breathe right. He never made it through junior year in high school, and right-wing politicians are floating the idea of making him an intern in DC. Absolute insanity. I never thought anyone could sink so low. It's as though there is no bottom. He needs to be under court supervision to age 21 and probation to 25, as a bare minimum.

  85. This is a great discussion.
    4
  86.  @michaeledwardhunter  And my response just got censored. Read the CNN message boards praising all the people who jeer at "anti-vaxxers" and are happy when one of them dies because "they deserved it." IOW, you are an optimist. We got here, and over WHAT? For what reason?
    4
  87. No one should be allowed to leave their property with an AR15-style rifle strapped to them, absent training and licensing as an armed security guard and in no event alone. If that sort of arm is necessary, so is a camera and a backup. But you praise a minor child for doing this. A full generation after Columbine and Wisconsin's legislature was incapable of drafting a reasonable, constitutional gun law with respect to minors. I think there have been mass shootings lately in schools but I'm not sure. I don't bother to take note. I no longer care. ( /s? What do you think?)

  88.  @ledaswan5990  So they should have the opportunity to get it, and all side effects should be treated for free.

  92. They have less stuff. They are also vulnerable to economic downturns whenever there is any issue with their few main exports, because they're an island and lack economic diversity. Most of the Caribbean needs tourism (or tax shelters for millionaires) to live. Cuba is better than that.

  93.  @kays0ne  This one is a troll. I'm blocking her. Her MO is to pretend she doesn't know what you said and "you must be crazy."

  94.  @agaperion  She is on the UATX board. That would make her Glenn's boss, at least technically. After The Intercept, can you see that? "Growth mindset" is a slogan. You like what she says, so you ignore her lack of competence. Thus the last presidential election.

  95. I believe there were insurrectionists present on January 6, as well as FBI provocateurs and plants. If we could have an equivalent of the Church Committee, I'd be for that. What are the chances?

  96. I most admire Glenn for his valiant effort at keeping a straight face during the intro. As soon as you get some distance on this, you see the absurdity.

  97.  @kevinschmidt2210  Please give us a reference to The History of Evil statute. Seems like something we should know about.

  98.  @awen777  People who are willing to accept provocateurs played a role in 1/6 will deny that at least some of the George Floyd demonstrations that degenerated into violence had government agents provoking that violence. Even Jimmy Dore presented evidence early on that there were provocateurs in the George Floyd demonstrations. Briahna Joy Gray reported on the fact that BLM started a foundation and then misused funds, cutting off the actual ordinary people who support the basic idea -- including Kyle Rittenhouse's older sister. Including Kyle himself, for that matter. Everything we see is falsified and monetized and looted, and people who could have understanding for one another are driven to hate each other. This is deliberate.

  100.  @bernie4268  I was just censored in responding. My factual response to your blather was censored. Bravo, you win. If a person drives their car illegally their license is revoked and their car can be impounded. They are not forced to undergo a medical intervention against their will. I can't say the rest about "the children." I'll be censored for stating facts.

  130. Glenn was interested in addressing the larger phenomenon. This isn't about Dore. He wanted to focus on the new and approved use of smears and innuendo to destroy reputations, and the weaponization of metoo for the same purpose, which will very soon result in actual victims having no recourse. Again.

  137. Glenn, a question. There seems to be a larger pattern that repeats too often to be happening by chance. The DNC keeps creating lose-lose scenarios: "Russiagate," obviously; Sandmann; Brett Cavanaugh; Amy Coney Barrett; Hunter Biden and his laptop; Rittenhouse; hysteria and unwarranted accusations concerning January 6th, as if the reality wasn't bad enough. The deification of Bill Gates; the continuing power of the Clintons; the nomination of Joe and Kamala. Then of course reneging on the public option, the $15 minimum wage, losing the two impeachment trials, and so forth, . . . even misleading voters about the size of the stimulus checks. Why are they doing this? Let's take Justice Barrett. There should have been no nomination, as early voting in the presidential election had already begun. Instead, Judge Barrett was nominated and confirmed, and mercilessly abused and personally maligned during the process to a degree that I don't think anyone before her had ever suffered -- not even Kavanaugh. (At least Kavanaugh had a witness he could confront.) So, IOW, everything that shouldn't have happened, happened. The worst-case scenario was engineered into existence with a lot of help from the DNC -- with them imitating some of Trump's most repugnant traits and topping him. What's up with all that? What do they get out of it?

  139. Pisces is considered the sign of the nonbinary, the sign of maximum fluidity and unending metamorphosis. They say the last sign contains some of the essence of all the preceding signs. So maybe this is the last gasp of the nonbinary, its swansong. In New Age logic, anything can be "true."

  148. Trump is SOOO dangerous that, instead of resolving in November 2016 to find a worthy candidate to beat him decisively in 2020, they deployed the Russian collusion hoax and then put in Biden.

  149.  @caitlinstuart5229  I agree. When Kyle made the first (surprising) video, I thought Jimmy and Aaron did a very nice response, and there was clearly a conciliatory note. Then, Kyle made another (more cringeworthy) video. This caused Dore to overflow. He was really mad, and felt unheard. It's really a shame. People know Dore has flaws. He doesn't deny it. He had real tragedies in his life. Glenn is doing the best analysis here. I don't know whether to exhale or sigh.
    2
  150.  @RaquelSantos-hj1mq  Correct. When Trump had influence in New York and could promote a false narrative about five kids attacking the Central Park Jogger, he did. Nevermind that the person who raped her, beat her, and left her for dead -- a very dangerous, serial predator -- got to enjoy his freedom while everyone was in a frenzy about young teens and "wilding." Right. They're all alike.

  151. Glenn, it's summer by you. Take a beautiful vacation. We love you, no joke. What would we do without you?

  156.  @lembergnative7731  What I said, with emphasis supplied: "I'm curious whether in fact an attack on the Donbass region from right-wing Ukrainian forces was imminent. I don't believe the Russian response was anywhere near proportionate, much less justified. But the real point is, we should WANT to suspend judgment until we know. Why should anyone WANT to dehumanize any victims?" Maybe you might answer the last question? Not publicly. To your moi intime.
    2
  157. The remedy for speech you don't like is MORE speech. Big Tech is allowed to add a "warning" message on any video they disagree with, for any reason. If they can identify "problematic" videos or other materials that they think should be censored, then they can just add a disclaimer instead. More speech, not censorship. Big Tech can certainly afford it. Bottom line: they are LYING about why they censor.
    2
  158.  @carrenpalmer3453  Not quite. The law was so badly drafted that by the rule of lenity, he could not be held responsible for violating it. This is a rule similar to the presumption of innocence. A full generation after Columbine and Wisconsin's legislature was incapable of drafting a reasonable and constitutional gun law with respect to minors. What do we pay them for?

The anti-Rio Tinto protests blocked a highway ("violence") and Djokovic supported the action. A paper based in India, The Bridge, reported in detail on it. Now that you mention smoking, injecting, snorting, etc., that's drugs, right? Isn't that a Western thing?

  187.  @colinfffff  I agree. The specific charge made against Aaron, and the fact that he's a journalist by profession, which means tangible damages are presumed (not to mention what Glenn said about this type of charge having the potential to put a war correspondent in danger), should be sufficient to give rise to a lawsuit. Enough is enough.

  192. Yes, correct. The fact remains that a full generation after Columbine, the Wisconsin legislature was incapable of drafting a reasonable, constitutional statute governing firearm use by minors.

  198. They were acting alone, or as part of "well-trained militias?" No one can join the armed forces before age 18 without parental consent. No one was drafted during WWII unless they were 18 and already had a high school diploma, or had attained age 19 -- or, lied about their age to go.

  204.  @mckernan603  That's the point. The selection pressure guarantees we'll have more politicians who are as bad as Gaetz. Only a person of great ambition and small character goes into politics as it is. Why didn't people see through this creep in the first place, before it came to this? How the h€ll was he elected??

  211. Whew! Thanks for the edit.

  212.  @lukebilby4409  There is no privilege here. He needed to be advised of what he would encounter in Australia before boarding a plane. Anyone who thinks this treatment and this scrutiny is privilege needs to talk to someone about their problems. Barring him on the basis of being a threat to public order rather than a health threat is chilling. And for refusing a medical intervention he demonstrably does not need makes it worse. I thought he should have left immediately and boycotted Australia. I thought he made a mistake in trying to stay. The American Sandgren is doing the right thing.
    2
  213. Yes. Sadly. You said that perfectly. Hits me where it hurts. Our lives will never be the same.
    2
  214. Who do you think has the burden of proof on that? And who are these people, and what are their interests? "Countries" is remarkably lofty and vague. Who is that, really? What do they need the secrecy for? Secrecy is never an end in itself, hence never self-justifying. They kept secret that they were spying on all of us. They kept secret what they knew about the danger of COVID. They keep drone attacks secret, where and who. They keep secret their psy-ops and false flag/provocateur activities. Just to name a few things.

  226.  @RaquelSantos-hj1mq  He was the owner of the gas station, or car dealershop? He was the owner of the Kenosha streets that night? So he was just on his own property, not on the public way? Huh. Interesting. I did not know. Rich parents, I guess.
    2
  227.  @RaquelSantos-hj1mq  So, he was dropped there by helicopter, or he walked the streets like that? He was a licensed armed guard at all these locations, under contract? Or the owners just got on Facebook or something?
    2
  228.  @benc2972  Yeah. To be guarding a structure you do not own with that kind of firearm strapped to you. Right. You should be a licensed guard, and not solo. You should have a body cam. What do you think police do? They have a partner. What do you think SWAT does? You want to act in their place as a private guard, you get a background check, training, and licensing, a body cam, and you don't get separated from your partner. That's extreme? Or, rifles of the tyoe used by militaries and national guard around the world should just be something anyone can pick up and strap on, and walk around whetever they want? No license for security guards? No training? No rules for safe transport of weaponry? That sounds about right to you?

  232.  @mariocroatia9321  WHAT did you think I said? Cities and regions with anti-Milosevic governments in place, put in place at grave risk to themselves -- in some cities, the people demonstrating daily for weeks all winter for free and fair elections -- were BOMBED ANYWAY. Montenegro, whose government opposed Milosevic and was receiving refugees, not creating them, was BOMBED ANYWAY. The New York Times reported this. We read it cover to cover in the 1990s. The editorial policy was pro-NATO but the reporting on the war was quite fair. It was a different time. You're the one who plays fast and loose with facts, as it turns out. Now, when a person calls for securing the hazardous biological agents Victoria Nuland warned us about under oath, there are calls for that person's arrest for treason. Only someone with something to hide screams "treason!"

  236. I hope people understand the full gravity of what happened. Trump and the Deep State either have no regard for fundamental constitutional principles, in the former case and the latter, or are actively engaged in undermining the Constitution and what's left of democracy, to some degree in the former case and much more in the latter. Trump was a threat, the Deep State upped the ante massively.

Try a more global, one-fell-swoop approach.

  251. Let's see what Libs of Tik Tok has actually done: On the one hand, collecting videos actually, voluntarily posted on social media by various people, particularly those teaching young children and minors in general, is a public service. People have a right to know who is forming the young, and whether they have sound judgment. No argument! On the other hand, Libs of Tik Tok didn't just "curate" these videos. She made extremely inflammatory comments, accusing the makers of the videos of some of the most heinous crimes against children. Not hyperbole; she really did call for arrests for what is essentially free speech. You see a good guy in this picture? Lorenz, by the way, is the last person to expose Libs of Tik Tok, if anyone should. Big "if." Sure Libs of Tik Tok is a public figure. Don't go down the "power differential" rabbit hole. Anyone can destroy anyone now. We all know that.
    2
  252.  @Mat-fw1ky  No worries! I am hypersensitive to anti-free speech tropes from anybody, at this point. But yeah, I don't call for censoring her, either, I just denounce the call for arresting these sad clowns. Lorenz is the bad guy in this picture, and I know she has 💲💲💲💰💰💰 behind her.

  255. Do you know what I've seen all over MSM? This "can't be" true because some unbalanced people have repeated it. It's like saying Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking never happened because Q Anon believed it. This has been the extent of the denial. People are saying this with a straight face.

  256. Removing a post that may not be First Amendment-protected, because it may fall into one of the categories that are not usually protected, but without waiting for adjudication, is fine. It's a judgment call, but platforms have a right to make it. Banning the speaker entirely is different because it is a prior restraint. Musk is wrong to ban people without using the separate prior restraint standard, which is much harder to meet, as it should be.

Take it up with the Supreme Court, which also ruled that banning cross burning, WWII symbols, and Klan symbols is unconstitutional, and that demonstrators from the Westboro Baptist Church cannot be sued for intentional infliction of emotional distress by the parents of a fallen soldier. Hate speech is a POLITICAL concept. Not to worry, your politics are sweeping the country. People will start self-censoring like the Soviets all did, only we won't get great math classes, piano, ballet, or an end to medical bankruptcy and homelessness along with it. We'll just get the self-censorship. 🙁

  296. ​​ @KeyboardWarrior-r9b The analogy with the rifle is nonsense. The First Amendment protects speech. Shooting isn't speech. If a person is far away from whomever it was their bullet killed, the prosecutor can take that into account when determining the nature of the homicide to charge. The jury can take it into account as well, to determine whether intent to kill was present, or gross recklessness. You are grasping at straws. Read Strossen. Do yourself a big favor. I'm serious.🎉

You're right concerning how the DNC is "managing" his reputation now, all of a sudden, when he's not convenient for them, but those who were thinking for themselves before this were not fans at all. None of these guys are "fairly normal tech nerds." Musk has some of the worst racial discrimination lawsuits pending against Tesla, is in serious regulatory trouble over primate torture at Neuralink, is selling utter nonsense by talking about colonies on other planets, and has some strange eugenics beliefs that he is putting into practice.

("Glenn can't claim to be a journalist!!!" Pathetic.) Greenwald has condemned this invasion many times, and his position is comparable to Chris Hedges' or Abby Martin's. Any war that can be avoided must be avoided, and the same is true of any escalation. The US is in the escalation phase now. Why? How does this help anyone, except arms merchants?

Collecting videos that various people actually, voluntarily posted on social media, particularly those teaching young children and minors in general, is a public service in my view. People, especially parents, have a right to know. But Libs of Tik Tok didn't just "curate" these videos. She accused the makers of the videos of some of the most heinous crimes against children. Not hyperbole; she really did call for arrests for what is essentially free speech. You see a good guy in this picture? Lorenz, by the way, is the last person to expose Libs of Tik Tok, if anyone should. She is one of the worst hypocrites I have ever seen. And she's incompetent. Also, I disagree with power differential arguments, in principle. (We can distinguish governmental actors, including their major contractors vs. all others -- that makes sense.) But anyone can destroy anyone, now. We all know it, too.

  393.  @Jeff-wj4wy  It wasn't about that in part because Wisconsin has thoroughly insane gun laws. Running the streets with an assault-style rifle strapped to you is legal. It cannot be considered a provocation. A good-faith belief that you are disarming an active shooter, and thus acting in the defense of innocent people (wrong, but in good faith) does not mean that if you do try to disarm him, he cannot shoot you. He can.

    1
  399. The business about crossing state lines with a gun is pure red herring. There was no evidence he did. Two factors are under deliberation: (1) a person cannot contribute to creating the need for using lethal force to defend their life, and then claim perfect self-defense. (2) In using lethal force to defend their life, a person cannot act recklessly, given the circumstances. The real tragedy is that under Wisconsin law, carrying that assault-type rifle openly, at age 17, is not a crime. Let that sink in. After how many mass shootings, they still can't pass reasonable gun laws? To cover MINORS, in public, not in their own dwelling, at least? Apparently not.

No, she's not just "curating" -- she accuses other people of crimes against children, and calls for the arrest of people who are doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights, albeit really stupidly. I don't agree with doxxing --- but anyone who uses social media as a journalist (which Libs of Tik Tok did), and who denounces others as responsible for the worst crimes, has to provide SOME way to be contacted. Glenn himself is remarkably accessible, at serious danger to himself in fact. Glenn is right, though, that the celebration of the doxxing is purely ideological and hypocritical. Disgusting.

I lived in France when PCF was in the coalition government. It was fine. Great quality of life. I know this isn't working. I wonder whether you still count on robots to save you (or slay you.)

The inclusion of lesser included offenses for the other counts shows that the prosecution no longer imagined it had established intent. I agree with you about openly wearing a large firearm in that context. I think it's inherently provocative, but I see why it is farfetched to say it is provoking any particular individual. A generation after Columbine and still there are states that lack reasonable, constitutional gun laws, not even for minors. Would you have believed it?

  423.  @lachlanbell8390  The first four shots were the ones that gave rise to the recklessness charge I'm talking about, which took place before anyone had touched him, not after he was struck. The veterans you spoke with may have more expertise than The View, and more sense, but they have this in common with The View: their opinions are not evidence. If you were correct in your analysis, Rittenhouse's excellent lawyers would not have accepted the McGinnis instruction, which you did not read. Shooting at an assailant in self defense when innocent bystanders are in the line of fire most certainly can support a charge of reckless endangerment, depending on the totality of facts and circumstances. (One question that arises is whether all four shots were necessary for self-defense. This question is less likely to be pertinent when no innocent bystanders are around.) Who told you differently? Obviously they were wrong.

  445.  @sbondesson  You are welcome. Their freedom to smear people with impunity is shocking. Now, the line between uncovering facts in the world, and reporting on what people believe, thanks to social media amplification, has been blurred to such a degree that I wonder whether anyone would settle with a Richard Jewel today, absent a hashtag hysteria. The one newspaper that refused to settle with Jewel, on the ground that they reported the news as best as could be determined at the time, according to them, won in the end. You can probably imagine what is likely to happen now, without reading any more than you already have. But it is a horrible story, because a hero who saved lives during a terrorist attack was smeared. He got his reputation back, but it took forever.

  459. I agree with this, and so does Glenn. We all have every right to know about the videos teachers of minor children have voluntarily posted. But there's another part: Libs of Tik Tok has ALSO accused people of the most heinous crimes against children and minors in general, and called for their arrest for what is basically First Amendment-protected expression. Have you seen any videos these teachers posted with minors included in them, or any unconsenting adults included?
    1
  460.  @kenhiett5266  Er, time stamp??
    1
  461. I have no problem at all with Libs of Tik Tok "curating" videos that adults themselves voluntarily posted. In some instances, it may be a public service. I tread carefully around any "power differential" arguments as well. Also, it must be known by now that whatever a person posts will subsequently escape their control, and whoever doesn't know that by now is probably too dim to teach. However, in this case, Libs of Tik Tok actually accused people of the worst crimes and called for their arrest, when all they could point to was a First Amendment-protected video. Sorry, I won't bite. None of the videos I saw were illegal, and some were probably parodies. All of that stuff is constitutionally protected. Whether their judgment is so poor they need to have observers in their classes or be suspended or fired is not for me to say -- or for Libs of Tik Tok to say, either. Schools have well-paid administrators. They can do their jobs for once. I once read that nobody likes the First Amendment, not really. I see what they meant.

  467. I agree. It's not for school. But in the videos I just saw, which were purely voluntary-attendance presentations at libraries, these story hours were no different from having a clown read to kids. It had that vibe. The makeup and costuming were not suggestive or sexy but very clownish, and a lot of the kids were preschool. All the kids had their parents with them, of course. Figures.

  470. ​@NornIronMan. WWII? The Red Army defeated the Wehrmacht. The Normandy Invasion had two purposes: to accelerate the Axis defeat and to stop the Red Army and their resistance allies in Western Europe. In other words, to ensure that the victors of WWII did not gain political power in Western Europe in the aftermath of the war. For a more realistic view of America's role, see Operation Paperclip and the rat line. The fact that our NATO allies are all on financial thin ice today is no accident, by the way.

  476.  @minniemins2837  Just the opposite. Greenwald did NOT tie 9/11 to the anthrax attacks at all. Victoria Nuland has failed to issue a clarification. People misspeak or are misunderstood all the time. And issue written clarifications, after taking some time to reflect and compose them. So . . . What's the problem, exactly? The problem is that she essentially told the truth: there are Department of Defense funded biolabs in Ukraine and they do contain dangerous pathogens. The main thrust of this reporting is to demonstrate the decline in journalism and the rise of propaganda and denunciation. He just did that, and you helped confirm his report.

That's like saying accurate reporting on Jeffrey Epstein supports that bizarre pizza parlor story, Comet Ping Pong or whatnot. Maybe the inane story is sometimes made up to shelter the actual wrongdoer? We know various intelligence services (including Russian and American) have floated conspiracy theories for exactly that purpose, as a classic red herring.

The prosecutor is supposed to be the most careful of all. He represents the state and is seeking to deprive individual people of liberty or property.

I'd be surprised if every "option" were not discussed, including dropping the extradition demand as a propaganda coup, or to make it look like it was quid pro quo to benefit Trump, and Assange just handed over some valuable secrets to gain freedom. (If people believed it, he'd be discredited forever.) These people are all power mad. They never limit themselves. They'll consider anything.

If I can see they likely had provocateurs on the ground January 6, and in plenty of other right-wing actions, why are you blind to the obvious provocateurs present during the riots following the George Floyd protests? The protests, while they were still peaceful, had very wide support. You can figure out the rest, no? You also know what happened to Occupy Wall Street under Obama? Especially by comparison to what happened to Wall Street. This isn't tough.

  532. Only a short time ago, the California Supreme Court refused to make Yelp remove a defamatory review when the defamed person had a judgment in hand, and could not locate the liable party who posted the defamation to get them to remove it. There was no question that the liable party could be ordered censored going forward -- of course it could not. There was no question that only statements specified in the judgment had to be removed, and they had to be specified verbatim. There was no question that the victorious plaintiff could not locate the defendant. Yelp is too important. $$$ Now, "democrats" want private companies and the surveillance state to censor, no court needed. Wow.

  545. It seems that he is a veteran, as were many of those arrested. The government should be deeply ashamed that VETERANS cannot get the help they need and are treated this way. Of course when someone is in large part responsible for the harm, that person will be extra harsh, in order to shift all blame and let the rest of us know to shut up or we'll be next. BTW, I take 1/6 more seriously than do Glenn or the journalist he's interviewing. But I don't believe in suspending the Bill of Rights over it. The Republic was never in danger, nor was any member of Congress. Not one iota. But we know that now. It wasn't entirely clear then how far they would go.

  554. Yes, bad example, agreed -- even though the point he was making at that moment is sound: WHY did Ford wait? This is a very important question. Kavanaugh was gaining power for years and years. He was sitting on the most important federal appeals court before this. And Ford is not a vulnerable person without resources, starting with adequate counseling to help her confront her reluctance. She had all that. Kavanaugh's reputation is ruined, but you're right, that is relatively trivial given the bigger picture.

  556. Oh, actually, in the workplace, using it is generally a Title VII violation, which means that the target can sue you. An employer can fire a nonunion worker any time anyway, in nearly all states, so of course they can fire for that, and would. But we all know we don't have First Amendment rights at a private employer, and they are curtailed in the public sector.

  562. I'm seeing Glenn's fundamental point: the lies woven to support Biden cannot be justified because Trump is so awful (he is). The only problem the mainstream press and the DNC had with Trump all along was that he was not "one of them." They had no problem with Harvey Weinstein or with Jeffrey Epstein when they were still serviceable.

  565. He didn't say it was their "imagination," although I agree with your basic point. Being misdiagnosed and psychologically manipulated can lead to PTSD, a very real illness. This type of prolonged trauma can leave a person in need of rehabilitation. It's not a joke at all, I agree. We need to hear from the victims, in their own voices.

  566.  @dustyfeller  I think you're right. I oppose silencing anyone, least of all a person with neurological symptoms. But I don't say PTSD as if it were not very serious. I believe some cases have neuro-physiological signatures. I think I've also seen that PTSD sufferers are at higher risk of depression, heart disease, and eventual dementia -- even if they don't drink too much, etc.

  567.  @dustyfeller  No worries. Basic agreement. The whole picture worries me. This should never be about "taking sides." People were harmed. That much is certain.

  595. If the US intervenes, it solidifies global opposition to the US outside of the Five Eyes, EU, NATO. Look on the map of the 35 countries that refused to sign on to the UN resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Yeah.

  596. Actually, by people who cite Frankfort School and never read Frankfort School. This was just discussed on Katie Halper's show, coincidentally.

  597. @gnlout  I haven't bothered to memorize one (and why would I?), but I do know I made specific comments to certain of his videos demonstrating that he was wrong. His "ditto heads" couldn't grasp it. I recommend spending a year with Shakespeare and Plato, as a detox. Don't waste more of your time. All he is doing is pandering to your prejudices and making bank. This has gotten out of hand.

  598. @gnlout  What bearing does that have? Strawman: Who supports Hamas? It's like pretending any critique of Kamala is misogynistic or Klan inspired.

  603. Well, apparently you read the factual allegations much more carefully than half the newscasters and other talking heads did.

  604. Where did Greenwald say reporting on the investigation, etc., is inappropriate? How could it be? The issue is whether everyone, even Gaetz, is entitled to a presumption of innocence.

  605. I'm not at all surprised that Glenn raised these questions. He has lived in Brazil for years now. Today, it is much more accepted to speak frankly about sexuality and social psychology in an intellectual way in any Latin culture than in the US. Not only that, but Anglo-Americans are far more susceptible to peer pressure than people in pretty much any other major society. See David Riesman et al., "The Lonely Crowd." It's about 70 years old. In other words, this isn't new.

  606. The torture is extrapolated, however. They locked us indoors and drove us crazy, too.

  607. 25:41 THIS is essential. Government cannot use tech companies as their cat's paw to destroy the First Amendment.

  608.  @unknownknowable  Good points across the board. All of these presentations are not alike, obviously. As far as what is taught in school: lots of kids are in one-parent families, blended families, have unmarried parents, or are being raised by same-sex married couples, or even a drag queen father. Before high school, the emphasis should be on bullying prevention. Everyone's family is a nice family, everyone is welcome in school regardless of who their parents are. That's what you tell first graders. Later, you say more. (It's called puberty, and needs to be respected.) The mayor where I live is in a same-sex interracial marriage and they have a young daughter. Richard Nixon's stunning granddaughter, who is big in regional theatre, was married to a man, got divorced, and many years later married a woman. They are raising a daughter, too. No one should ever say a peep to these kids. Young kids have vulnerable moments and should never be teased about their family.

  611. They both got a lot out of this, considering. That's why Greenwald is speaking out.

  614. The minimum we can ask of any member of Congress (or President, or any elected or appointed politician) is that they obey the laws they swore to uphold, and will have a hand in enacting. You have gotten tolerant of zero principles. That never ends well.

  615.  @johnthepalm  Yup, that I have seen.

  616.  @MMimi-mg4qt  It is very related, insofar as his problems are related to his ethnicity on a deep level. He has been misrepresented even where it resulted in harm to others in addition to him, an unending story. I doubt very much you know anything about him, as opposed to knowing everything about his reputation. But he is less responsible for that than most people in his position would be.

  617. The central "hate speech" case, RAV v. City of St. Paul, took place in Minnesota, and invalidated a "hate speech" ordinance. You would think the governor of Minnesota would have heard of it.

  619. Adam Curtis described this years ago: to cover up a conspiracy, intelligence services use a red herring, usually by floating a competing conspiracy theory. If it's plausible, MSM will broadcast it. If not, those who repeat it will be marginalized as kooks. Works extremely well.

  621.  @phuphuism  Have you listened to Joe Rogan? Did you listen when he had Alex Jones on? Are you interested, at all, in what someone who doesn't have your views might think? I'm not on any "wing" in America. The whole country is right wing by my standards. Dangerously right wing. I'll be out by 2025. Can you find all the places on the map that the US has bombed since Nagasaki? I don't know anyone who can. What more needs to be said? Not enough information? Waiting to see? Just this once?

  622. @goes2112  You are being lied to. That's the long and the short of it. Courts were never "after" Trump. People sued him or people prosecuted him. One judge in New York categorically refused to pronounce any sentence whatsoever. Would you be so lucky?
    1
  623.  @goes2112  That's not what happened. No court did this. People were suing Trump and prosecuting Trump. One court discharged him with no punishment and wished him well.

  624. @goes2112  No court changed the law. Legislatures did. God, who tells you these things? And why do you believe them? Listen to Glenn. He actually knows, and sees Trump in a more positive light than most people do. The principle of judicial review under Marbury v. Madison is a logical conclusion based on the Constitution. Since then, the entire federal code and rules of procedure are based on it. Therefore Congress agrees with the decision. And Trump liked it when the courts went against Biden.

  625. @goes2112  Btw, did you ever read Marbury v. Madison? Or is it some talking point they're using now? EDIT: Well this thread was already shadowed of substantive replies. Lovely.

  626.  @kevinschmidt2210  yup, lol

  627. Of course Trump lost. He said the country is going downhill and that the rest of the world is laughing at us. You can't say that. ESPECIALLY if there's truth in it.

  628.  @MartyBugg  So . . . The purpose of all of that surveillance is not to make sure we know when a regime may fall, or whom a drone may kill. Its purpose is to know exactly what lie to tell us.

  634. 11:55 THIS is outrageous. The insinuation that you must be a journalist to have First Amendment freedoms is a flat-out fabrication. 55:02 Great summation. The First Amendment applies to all equally.

  635. Palmieri's tweet could almost be read as the opposite of what she meant -- aa a condemnation of the horrifying intentions of the Democratic majority. Take out the words "Trump's destructive;" leave it as "police behavior . . . "

  636.  @Mat-fw1ky  My point is clear and you know it. I don't agree with anyone doxxing anyone, actually --- but anyone who uses social media as a journalist (which Libs of Tik Tok did), and who denounces others as responsible for the worst crimes, has to provide SOME way to be contacted. Glenn himself is remarkably accessible, at serious danger to himself in fact.

  637.  @Mat-fw1ky  Some "random nobody" can destroy your life. A random nobody made it untenable for me to keep my second job --- in 2017. Lucky I didn't need it. Don't pretend you don't know.

  638.  @Mat-fw1ky  So . . . Today we just take sides. Got it.

  639.  @Mat-fw1ky  Which journalist, Taylor Lorenz? She's not a journalist. She's a classic gossip monger. I don't know what "toxic" is supposed to mean. Collecting those Tik Toks was great, in my opinion anyway. Calling for anyone to be arrested for First Amendment-protected speech/expression is anti-freedom, and probably hypocritical. I oppose it. I mean, I wouldn't, in turn, try to stop her, but you better believe I'll point it out. If this is too tough, what does that tell you? Some of those Tik Toks might be parodies anyway.
    1
  640.  @Mat-fw1ky  I think I could talk to Libs of Tik Tok. Not sure. With Lorenz, I'd be afraid to try. Or, I'd demand to be paid for it.🤣

  642. The Wall Street definition of truth prevails: if you are FIRST to jump to the right conclusion, you will get very rich. Everything is market logic, or follows the market logic model. "Due process" is too slow.

  645. Look up Alain Badiou's defense of the Muslim hijab in his essay translated in the collection Polemics. (Probably Verso Press; don't have it handy) You'll enjoy it.
