GOP Turncoats Sunk Snowden?

Patrick Bet-David sits down with journalist Glenn Greenwald for a hard-hitting discussion on Venezuela’s boat strikes, alleged CIA plots to overthrow Nicolás Maduro, and the political implications of Trump’s meeting with Brazilian President Lula da Silva.

The meeting with Lula happened in Asia during Trump’s stop in Malaysia for the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) Summit. Lula wanted to meet with Trump to discuss his proposed tariffs on goods from Brazil.  Brazil is obviously not an ASEAN nation, but apparently did not want to wait to resolve tariff complications.

Greenwald also discusses his dealings with various whistleblowers, including Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange. He says Trump came close to issuing a pardon for Snowden upon the conclusion of Trump’s first term. But Democrats pushing a second impeachment hearing, plus turncoat Republicans like Mitch McConnell and Tom Cotton, scotched the deal.

Here Comes Something Ugly

How does Silicon Valley play both sides of the political aisle? Who are the key companies trying to control what we can say, and where we can communicate, and whether our social credit score will allow us access to currency? Who will release the currency — national governments, public-connected banks or private corporate entities?

Here, Whitney Webb gives us a quick rundown of the key players, how they are connected, which have government and intelligence contracts, which might bring down the boot on our freedom of speech, press, religion or assembly.

This is a deep web of entities, but the power they seek isn’t hard to understand. Nor the risks they pose for us all. Here’s more from Whitney’s Fan Club.

Tulsi’s “Messy” Documents

The lying leftists at the New York Times can’t bring themselves to admit the truth. They refuse to reveal the outright CIA distortions and lies at the core of the Russia collusion case.

Instead of admitting that former American President Barack Obama was a crook and that his minions like former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI chief James Comey were traitorous bastards, the New York Times calls Tulsi Gabbard’s latest revelations “messy.”

In point of fact, these documents from the Director of National Intelligence prove the New York Times participated in an outright swindle against the American public.

Why doesn’t the newspaper admit they got taken for a ride, and that they actively misled the American public? How about returning the bogus awards they picked up from their fraudulent Russia collusion coverage?  Here’s more from Glenn Greenwald.

Trump’s Backdoor Defense Deals

When he came into office for his second term, President Donald Trump promised to meet with his counterparts in Russia and Communist China and work out deals allowing the three countries to cut their defense budgets in half. In this first year back in office, he has done absolutely nothing whatsoever to advance those goals.

Instead of cuts, we have seen massive defense increases, particularly to companies like Palantir Technologies, engaged in surveillance.  In short, Trump lied outright to his MAGA base.

Has he been as grim or disastrous as the Democrats? Nope. But he’s not exactly been a breathe of fresh air, either. Here’s more from Glenn Greenwald.

Trump’s Rift With Tulsi?

Everyone realizes President Donald Trump is no shrinking violet. But he needs to corral the worst of his grandstanding and tempestuous behavior.  He sometimes looks as shrill and conniving, as pompous as any of the Democratic jackals.

A case in point. Trump is now taking potshots at Tulsi Gabbard, his Director of National Intelligence, because some of the White House mucky-mucks don’t think she’s been as gung-ho as they would like about bombing Iran. Maybe he needs to get her more in sync, but he ought to do so in a more discrete manner. All the grand drama is making him look like a modern-day Louis XIV.

That’s not exactly transforming him info an endearing figure, let alone an effective ruler. More often, he’s mired in the muck or sidetracked. Here’s more from  Glenn Greenwald.

The Truth About Palantir

Palantir Technologies has become a center of attention since we learned the company would be placed in charge of the federal government’s data collection and analysis efforts. Much has been made of Palantir founder Peter Thiel and his involvement with Vice President J.D. Vance. Thiel not only financed much of Vance’s Senate run in the state of Ohio, but Thiel also introduced Vance to Trump, and encouraged Vance’s promotion as vice president.

Here, investigate reporter Glenn Greenwald takes a deeper dive to explore what makes Palantir tick, focusing on its CEO Alex Karp. Does Karp represent the new mask of the Deep State? What are the dangers poised by this company? Should we be concerned by Trump’s decision to place this firm in charge of the secretive apparatus behind the federal government?

Jake Tapper’s Humiliation

CNN spends five years lying about Joe Biden’s dementia, gets caught, and then instead of apologizing, pretends to break the story that Biden has brain damage. This, says Glenn Greenwald, is why every honest person on earth hates corporate media.

In a wide-ranging interview with Tucker Carlson, Greenwald also gets into the twisted Jeffrey Epstein pedophile case, as well as Israel’s trampling of human rights in Gaza and that nation’s tendencies to spy upon America, stealing our technology and trade secrets.

More Epstein Scandals Revealed

Lee Fang, an investigative reporter formerly with The Intercept, joins his old colleague Glenn Greenwald to touch upon new — and rarely discussed — scandals relating to Jeffrey Epstein. While the Trump administration has promised to release more details surrounding the death and dastardly doings of Epstein, so far we haven’t seen much at all from Trump’s people. They are always promising Epstein exposure, while shuffling papers and delaying any substantive findings. And FBI leaders Kash Patel and Dan Bongino stunned many MAGA followers by declaring last weekend that Epstein committed suicide.

Here, Fang relays how the U.S. Virgin Islands has squandered and misused money received through Epstein settlements. Albert Bryan Jr., the governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands, fired the Attorney General Denise George who was trying to get to the bottom of the scandal. Bryan has ensured the same dirty politic has continued since Epstein’s death.

Will we see anything different from the Trump administration? It’s certainly not looking likely. Why all the dodgy delays and hiding the facts?  Why such blatant coverups on behalf of the Israelis, who apparently were Epstein’s chief sponsors? Fang and Greenwald outline some of the parameters, and throw a few new wrinkles our way, but this is a story that we’re still likely to be following years from now. And despite Trump’s promises to reveal the truth, his underlings don’t seem compelled at all to do so.
