Glenn Greenwald

This week on the New World Next Week: the doomsday seed vault gets a doomsday data neighbor; billionaires are shelling out mega-bucks to define fake news; and a graphene-based sieve promises seawater solutions.

It is now almost a week since President Trump tweeted his incendiary allegation that former President Obama had had his phone bugged.
Since then there have no more leaks seeking to discredit the President or to destabilise his administration, whilst the demands for the resignation of Jeff Sessions, his Attorney General, seem to have stopped.  Whether this is only a temporary respite or whether a real corner has been turned remains to be seen.

(ANTIMEDIA) When he was in office, former President Barack Obama earned the ire of anti-war activists for his expansion of Bush’s drone wars.

(ANTIMEDIA) “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. So, even for a practical, supposedly, hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this,” Democratic lawmaker Charles Schumer said of President Trump in January amid the president’s rejection of CIA claims about Russian hacking.

Glenn Greenwald goes on the BBC to tear apart the “fake news” Trump dossier.
The BBC is a bit hurt at Greenwald’s implication that the “CIA lies”.
Greenwald had to lay it out in simple terms for the BBC host to understand…

“You know of course (don’t you) that the Iraq war was started because that agency [CIA] said that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was in an alliance with Al Qaeda.”

A few things to clear up before the video.
Glenn Greenwald appears to be no fan of Russia or Vladimir Putin. He continuously calls Russia a “dictatorship” which is, for someone of Greenwald’s intelligence, simply ignorant.
Brian Stelter is not an objective reporter. He is a commentator who strongly supported Hillary Clinton, working for CNN, a network that is squarely aligned with the neo-liberal ruling elites…A network engaged in pushing “fake news” stories about mythical Russian election hacking.

Journalist Glenn Greenwald has accused his former employer, the Guardian, of falsifying the words of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a report about the interview he gave to La Repubblica. For more on this, Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media studies at NYU, joins RT America’s Ashlee Banks.

« Je les connais, les banquiers de Goldman Sachs ! Ils exercent un contrôle total sur Hillary Clinton ! » Donald Trump n’avait pas de mots assez durs, au printemps dernier, pour dénoncer à bon droit les liens étroits unissant la candidate démocrate aux dirigeants de la puissante banque d’affaires Goldman Sachs.

Friday night Bernie was at Dominican University in Marin County, ostensibly to promote his new book, Our Revolution: A Future To Believe In. In launched right into an attack against the Democratic Party establishment, blaming party elites for creating the environment in which Trumpism could thrive.
