THE GREENWALD GUARDIAN LOVE-IN

In an interview with Amy Goodman Glenn Greenwald has attacked the NATO media for being "old style" but curiously praises The Guardian.


And yes, that's the same Guardian that:
1. has supported all the wars on the nations named to General Wesley Clark shortly after the inside Ziojob 9/11 and has not once mentioned the plan revealed to Clark despite it being easily available on Youtube;
2. pushed mass genocide at Copenhagen in 2009;
3. is rabidly Russo-, and particularly Putin-, phobic, and supported Rothschild gimp and jailbird embezzler Mikhail Khordokovsky, and other anti-Putin oligarchs such as Berezovsky;
4. supported war on Syria and consistently accused Assad of Ghouta, not once considering the rebels as culprits despite an abundance of evidence that they had the means and motive;
5. cried with joy at Syria relinquishing its chemical weapons without once mentioning Israel's vastly superior and much more horrific arsenal of chemical, biological and even nuclear weapons;
6. portrayed the violent NATO-sponsored neo-Nazi coup in Ukraine as a peaceful, bloodless uprising of downtrodden Ukrainians chasing out their tyrannical Russophile government, when since the coup Ukraine has been handed over to the IMF, neo-Nazis are now in power, and their supporters feel confident enough to burn 50 people alive and beat others to death, and to shoot unarmed civilians.

GQ has reported Greenwald promising more potentially huge stories on NSA snooping and spying, but Greenwald does not say when. But these promises are being made at a time when the USA Freedom Act is being debated and about to be passed. This bill is a response to the Snowden revelations reported by Greenwald.

But what exactly has change in that bill regarding snooping etc?

Not much!

The bipartisan bill that aims to put serious curbs on the National Security Agency’s mass collection of Americans’ communications is being hailed by Republicans and Democrats as a big breakthrough.

It’s not.

“The bottom line: This is largely faux reform and a surveillance salve,” said Thomas Drake, a former NSA senior official turned whistle-blower who’s critical of the agency’s collection programs. “To date, neither the House nor Senate attempts go far enough.”

So, any change for the good in spying laws due to Snowden/Greenwald is minimal, if it exists.

Meanwhile, Greenwald keeps promising more and more bombshell revelations while enjoying his new multi-million dollar media empire with that paragon of vanity, NATO media darling and 9/11 gatekeeper Jeremy Scahill, and also very, very, very curiously praising the warmongering NATO asset The Guardian and twiddling his thumbs as spying laws are watered down.

Hmm.......
