Amazing discussion on the 'War on Terror Film Festival' on 'Citizen 4' about the #Snowden revelations:

If you've already seen that film or are familiar with the revelations, you can safely skip to 41:50 where Chris #Hedges start to speak ... and he's amazing as usual.
From that point on Glenn #Greenwald also participates more actively and it's REALLY good and important.

And they haven't forgotten about Julian #Assange, who is still a political prisoner 😡

Il perseguitato politico #Snowden, il pluricandidato al #Nobel per la pace #Assange e il premio Pulizter #Greenwald: quelli che #Riotta, aka "The opposite of journalism" descrive come spie russe è gente per bene che ha rivelato le trame oscure di un potere omicida e pervasivo.

#CIA

"L’inchiesta di Yahoo chiarisce anche che l’operazione di sorveglianza contro #Assange e #Wikileaks si è intensificata drammaticamente dopo che #Snowden ha rilasciato i suoi documenti riservati nel 2013 in collaborazione con il reporter Glenn #Greenwald.
I file di Snowden hanno mostrato che gli Stati Uniti avevano iniziato ad estendere la loro ambizione di utilizzare la nuova tecnologia digitale per sorvegliare segretamente il resto del mondo".

Shahid Buttar:
"Withdrawing troops from Afghanistan would be the one thing that our criminal president has done right during his term. And the one time that corporate Democrats decide to show up for work and actually meaningfully challenge him"

In the latest 'System Update', Glenn #Greenwald explains what the corporate Democrats actually care about, under consistent direction of Pelosi.
Making sure the forever-wars continue as that's what makes the $ come in for DNC.

Glenn #Greenwald brings a much under reported issue into focus:
"Is Israel Poised to Admit it Annexed the West Bank?"

Israel plans to *officially* annex yet other parts of Palestinian land. This includes the Jordan Valley, critical for Palestinian food supply/security and iirc also the water supply (not mentioned by Glenn though).

Seven European nations condemned the annexation, but not #TheNetherlands 😢

Glenn #Greenwald providing a much needed discussion of the Julian #Assange case, which as he points out shamefully and dangerously lack coverage and support for his case in the (US) MSM, regardless whether you like the man.

In the first ~40 minute monologue he discusses all (afaik) the facts pertaining to the case. After that, Jennifer Robinson and Margaret Sullivan join the conversation.

Obama started with unprecedented prosecution of whistleblowers.
Trump not only accelerated it, but he has gone further then Obama was willing to go: prosecute journalists/publicists.

"Though I believe that #Greenwald would have reported the mass surveillance story even if it meant risking prison time, can we say the same of every member of the press?"

I'm utterly convinced the answer is:
NO, not by a long shot.

Support those that (will) do.

I'm not surprised and still disappointed at the lack of outrage on the persecution of Glenn #Greenwald (for 'cyber crimes') because of the great, and embarrassing for the Brazilian gov, journalism he (and his team) did: https://theintercept.com/series/secret-brazil-archive/

It's sad to see how gullible and short sighted many people are and believe the persecution is justified because 'hacking is a crime'.

After #Assange this is the 2nd high-profile journalist under attack.
Are people really that eager for authoritarianism?
