![😡 TRUMP LOYALIST: “Jewish Americans have a vested interest in Israel!” GLENN: “Why? Why do they have that?” TRUMP LOYALIST: “Well, a lot of them—some don’t. Like, you, right? You’re Jewish?” GLENN: “Yeah, I don’t [have a vested interest].”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2061810563840102724/amplify_video_thumb/2061810462631636992/img/XTIvaccpiHrdm4xl.jpg)
‼️ "The problem is not just Netanyahu!" Don't believe that? Glenn Greenwald explains EXACTLY how this "FACE-SWAPPING" tactic works — not just in Israel, but also in the United States! "One of the very first stories I ever wrote about or reported on with WikiLeaks was when they published what is called a 'Red Cell paper' from the CIA." "The topic of this paper was—increasingly in Europe, there was growing opposition to involvement in the war in Afghanistan. They were tired of it!" "The CIA was really petrified that this anti-war sentiment in Western Europe was going to grow. And the United States would be left alone." "The BEST HOPE for avoiding that," the CIA said, "was to ensure that Barack Obama wins the 2008 election. By swapping the face of the war," from the Texan, swaggering Bush to an erudite, liberal lawyer, "it would REVITALIZE support among Europeans." "That's what they're hoping for with Netanyahu!" Once he's out of office, support for Israel — "Hey, it looks different!" — may return.

🇮🇱❕ “If I were a gambling person, and I wanted to bet on where I’d most likely be fired based on who I disparage, I would ABSOLUTELY bet my money on being punished for disparaging Jews—BUT THEY’VE INVERTED THIS!” “They’re somehow extremely powerful. Israel is one of the most powerful countries in the world. They bully everyone around them. And yet, somehow, at the same time, they’re VICTIMS?” “But not only victims. THE VICTIMS!” Maybe that helps to explain CNN’s embarrassing interview with Dan Goldman after his defeat to Brad Lander. Glenn Greenwald on the network preparing for its Zionist takeover:

‼️ "I don't believe ANYBODY—without evidence." Glenn Greenwald slams the opportunists who are reviving the MeToo-era ethos "Believe Women." "Empowering people to destroy somebody else, simply by ACCUSING THEM of something, is way too much of a potent power to avoid abuse."

🚨 "Why do WE care so much about Israel?" Glenn Greenwald asks. "Because it is shaping and DOMINATING our foreign policy—and our country—in so many different ways." (1) "We're in the middle of a MAJOR WAR AGAINST IRAN," all for the benefit of Israel; (2) "We've spent the last two and a half years financing and diplomatically protecting one of the MOST CRIMINAL atrocities of my lifetime"; (3) "We have one interest group, AIPAC, that does not have the lives and interests of American citizens" at the core of its mission; It's not that Israel matters to the American people because they have some fixation or obsession with the Jewish State. It's that the political elite's "radical neglect" of Americans for the interests of a foreign country has become a proxy for many of their grievances.

🚨 Journalist Glenn Greenwald SHREDS the idea that elected officials are entitled to the same privacy as private citizens: "When you're a politician, in exchange for the power you get, you have an expectation to sacrifice some of your privacy in the name of transparency — that's just the tradeoff!" It's true with financial disclosures, and the same is (or should be) true with health. Glenn Greenwald on his husband's health battle as an elected official in Brazil, and why transparency was so important to him as his health declined:

🚨 "If Russia came to the U.S. and BOMBED three different nuclear facilities, would you consider that to be an ACT OF WAR?" Glenn Greenwald presses MAGA loyalist on Trump's war-making past. (ALSO: Casus belli doesn't mean "act of war." It is the reason or excuse for declaring war.)

🚨 GLENN: "Trump's an INFINITELY richer man—now—than he was when he sought the presidency in 2016." MAGA HAT: "Are you JEALOUS of that, like, 'cause he's president?" (He's not.) Glenn Greenwald on the companies that Trump helped create to personally enrich his family and allies:

🚨🇮🇱 "LOOK AT WHAT DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING: they're not saying, 'We're so happy Trump ended this war!' They're basically saying Trump surrendered to the Iranians; it's a disaster because we're letting the Iranians sell their own oil..." "They're FORTIFYING the AIPAC narrative!" Now it's the Democrats, in addition to Israel First Republicans, who are demanding that Iran remains "sanctioned and poor and broke." But this isn't new. The Democrats pioneered this with Bill Clinton back in 1992: "All hell broke loose!" "Bill Clinton ran on the accusation that Bush '41 was antisemitic—that the Bush administration was antisemitic because, by criticizing Israel, they were endangering American Jews." "That is what American presidents will face."

🎯 SO STRANGE: Nobody will go fight in the wars that they cheer on—why is that? GLENN: "You seem like a young guy to me. Have you ever thought about going and fighting in this war that you're cheering on?" MAGA LOYALIST: "Uh, I mean, I've thought about joining the military before. I don't know about this war specifically." (Translation: "No.") Glenn Greenwald breaks down the always-at-war mentality that has long possessed the United States.

☢️💥 GLENN: “If Iran had a nuclear weapon, I do think the world would be SAFER, because the Israelis would then be actually constrained and deterred.” “THE MOST DANGEROUS SITUATION is for the Israelis—and them alone in that region—to have a nuclear weapon!” Glenn Greenwald says:

🚨Glenn Greenwald: This war is happening "for the SAME REASON that the Iraq War was launched based on total lies—" Rob Schmitt: "But he trashed the Iraq War!"

☢️🚨 WHAT IS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE: “That war is getting more dangerous than ever!” In the last 72 hours, “Ukraine has carried out very serious strikes on oil refineries in Moscow that have closed airports. They are now able to attack deep into Russian territory—they attacked Saint Petersburg, where Putin was.” The Ukrainians have a simple argument: “If you’re going to attack Kiev and our cities, we can attack yours.” “BIG DIFFERENCE IS: Russia is a nuclear-armed power, and Ukraine is not.” Glenn Greenwald on the little-scrutinized danger of the Russia-Ukraine war:

🇮🇱❕ Israel supporters ask, "Why would J.D. Vance start questioning the influence of Israel? Is it because Tucker Carlson is some kind of HYPNOTIC FORCE, manipulating him?!" "It's kind of IRONIC, since they take so much offense when you say the Israelis are doing that to American politicians..."
