Brazil Sets Up Repressive Censorship Regime After January 8 Protests
"In the aftermath of January 6th, 2021, a vast censorship regime descended across social media in the United States. And now it looks like in the aftermath of January 8th, January 8th being the day in which protesters in Brazil took over the court, the parliament, the palace, the president's palace, and now we're seeing kind of the same thing. We're seeing recriminations, we're seeing, we've already seen a bunch of arrests, I believe, about a thousand people, probably more by now. But what's really troubling is now a senior judge in Brazil. This is Alexandra de morais. It's apparently become the point man for censorship, not only in Brazil, but also for Brazilian commentary across the world. And what this means is that this judge, the single guy, has taken it upon himself to ban critics of the Lula regime, defenders of the Bolsonaro, claims, and also opposition members who were themselves elected and have huge followings and also huge social media followings in their own right. Now Glenn greenwald, the journalist who has actually been kind of a friendly toward Lula. In fact, his reporting and the reporting at his former publication, the intercept was instrumental in Lula being able to defeat corruption charges, which is what cleared the way for Lula to run again, but Glenn greenwald is very angry. He goes the censorship regime in Brazil is growing rapidly virtually daily now. He goes, this is not confined to Brazil, and he goes, the censorship regime implemented in Brazil makes the U.S. and EU look like bastions of liberty.

"There's no poll involved in this witch hunt, kangaroo court, Glenn greenwald had a great moment on Twitter yesterday. The journalist took off after Liz Cheney, she's having her big last hurrah, right? Her big, her last big moment in the sun yesterday before she becomes an MSNBC or CNN contributor, and you can be sure that's going to happen because her political career is over. You don't lose by 35 points. After you're an established Republican like she was in Wyoming and then go continue a political career. So Liz Cheney is through with politics. Here is what Glenn greenwald tweeted about her. There was a tweet that said today is the last public hearing of the January 6th select committee trying to stop Trump from running for office. Glenn greenwald tweeted this might be your last chance to see the extraordinary. Heroic, noble, inspiring, high priestess of ethics and democratic values Elizabeth Cheney speak in the August committee rooms of the house. Who would want to miss this? It's a great tweet. And then he followed up with in parentheses for those who missed the news or forgot the reason Liz Cheney is leaving the house is her own constituents voted against her in favor of her primary challenger by more than 35 points, one of the most humiliating defeats a house incumbent has ever suffered in American history.

Laptop From Hell Story: Suppressed by Twitter
"This weekend, Elon Musk made some big announcements. He posted on his Twitter that he'd be dropping bombshell information. Twitter owner, Elon Musk, has already confirmed that Twitter suppression policies of shadow banning and shutting down accounts has been entirely one sided that the company solely targeted right-wing and conservative accounts and messaging. But the recent dump of documents from behind the scenes of Twitter revealed that the company was also being directed by politicians and campaign officials alike. So far, Twitter has revealed documents pertaining to the specific topic of Biden's corruption by censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story. In a somewhat surprising move, Musk entrusted these files to Rolling Stone contributor and freelance journalist Matt taibbi. Neither Matt nor Rolling Stone can be accused of being fans of the right or of Donald Trump. Matt refers to Trump as a mad king and his supporters as useful idiots. Perhaps that's the very reason Musk elected to enlist Matt in this effort. By giving the story to a known partisan, it would be hard for the mainstream media to attack his credibility. Despite this, that's exactly what happened. Blue checks all across Twitter spent the weekend accusing that of doing, quote, PR for the world's richest man, as if he was a partisan hack for Elon Musk. A claim, which Glenn greenwald pointed out was highly hypocritical coming from so called journalists whose only metric for reporting is how well their work serves their power and the Democrat party. Personally, I think greenwald himself would have been a great choice to report on these Twitter documents because he's a liberal who was forced out of the news organization he found it over differences in how to handle the original laptop story.

The Liberal Media's First Response Is to Attack Matt Taibbi
"Contours of the battles we're fighting and we're never going to learn how to turn around and Flank the enemy here You're not going to learn If we don't figure out how they respond And we're getting better at it each time We're not there obviously but we're getting better at it with each repetition like anything else So the response from the left there were two primary responses First was to attack Matt taibbi the reporter who was given the information by Elon Musk he's a great reporter Jim as you well know and my podcast listeners know I've cited his work many times He is not a conservative I don't care because he's a reporter and he does actual reporting which says even more about the man's character that he's not a conservative and he still will report on stories factually even if they reflect poorly against people he shares political beliefs with Glenn greenwald is the same way Michael Tracy and others These are not conservatives These are people who are doing reported So the first response of corp was to attack of course was to attack Matt taibbi He's a vampire He's a savage He's a PR flag He's compromised He's Russian He's Putin's long lost cousin He drank a shot of Russian vodka 7 years ago This is the insanity from the leftist goon squad that sucks in the media okay

The Government's Colluded Efforts to Install Regimes of Censorship
"Remember when the Biden administration talked about creating a an office to police disinformation there was an uproar, they shot that down. But the project not under that name has proceeded with full steam. And more and more information is coming out to show the extent of collusion between the Biden regime and these supposedly independent and private platforms. Notably, YouTube and Facebook, but also including Twitter prior to the Elon Musk acquisition. Now, there was a very important article in the intercept. The intercept is a kind of left leaning magazine. It was one of the founders was Glenn greenwald, who then left the intercept in part because the intercept was blocking discussion of legitimate issues. But nevertheless, every now and on the intercept surprises you and here they surprise you, they surprise us with a bombshell article, bombshell because of the level of detail that it shows about the collaboration between Biden between the Biden administration and these platforms. I'm just going to touch on a few highlights of it here and then I might go into it subsequently in a more elaborate way. First of all, Facebook and Twitter created a special portal for the government to request takedowns. Now, let's think about this. This is not a case where the government is just sending them an email saying, hey guys, this guy's putting on misinformation ban Alex berenson or banned this guy or let's get rid of Alex Jones. Twitter and Facebook say, all right, we're going to make we're going to make this system easy for you. Here's a special portal. You just get into the portal. You list all the guys you want to be restricted or kicked or kicked off or banned. We'll take a look at it. So from the portal itself, you can't tell who's making the final decision. The Biden people saying do it and Facebook and Twitter just doing it or the Biden people making a recommendation and then Facebook and Twitter comply with it if they want to. But either way, the collusion is fully documented here.

Bob Cesca on Republican Support for the Theft of National Secrets
"Couldn't wait to get you on today because of course Edward Snowden thing. I was just like, oh my God. Bob says, I tried to tell you how long you just said, right? Matt Gaetz said Joe Biden should pardon Snowden, and you said Republican support the theft and exposure of national security secrets. Period. Yeah. How long ago did we say this? Snowden is a traitor. 9 years. It's been 9 years. It'll be ten years coming up this coming up summer in June, I believe it is. When the first story Glenn greenwald dropped happened. And so this is not surprising to those of us who were following the story closely with a critical eye back in 2013 when especially and I wrote a piece about this back in 2013 about how as soon as Edward Snowden was shepherded from Hong Kong where he had a birthday party, a birthday pizza party at the Russian consulate, he was taken by WikiLeaks attorneys. Hi. See, all these names are so appropriate now. Have a new patina of weirdness about them after the last 5, 6 years. Yeah. And so he separated by WikiLeaks attorneys to Moscow, where, while camping out in the Moscow airport, he hires Russian attorney Anatolia. I think that's how you pronounce his last name. And anatoly kuchar Rena is a, or was a lawyer for the FSB for the Russian FSB. And those of us who have been falling from Russia all along what the very least watching the Rachel maddow show. We all know what the FSB is. The FSB is the modern day version of the KGB. Yeah. And one of their attorneys is the attorney who represented Edward Snowden in Moscow in 2013 when he was there in the airport. So this is no surprise to any of us that he is being offered Russian citizenship by Vladimir

In its impact, Glenn greenwald wrote about it this weekend, the Washington times has a story out about it today, reclaim the net, decide I really like, has a story about it. The reclaim the net stories in my newsletter. The gist of it is this. The Google machine monopoly was sued by rumble, a company I'm an equity holder in. Rumbles claims in the lawsuit was at Google was using its monopoly power over search, Googling stuff on the Internet basically, which is like saying Xerox copy, right? They were using their monopoly power to redirect video searches to their platform, YouTube. And suppressing links to other video sites rumble and elsewhere. Rumble sued for a lot of money. Now folks, many of these cases are thrown out before the discovery stage, the discovery stage is critical because that's when both sides are compelled to produce materials for the case. This case made it past the discovery stage. Listen to me, if you're a lawyer listening, you understand exactly what I just said. That may seem like, oh, what's the big deal? It is a huge deal It is a huge deal. Most of these cases don't make it past that. If this case now goes to trial, with rumble and Google, Google is going to be compelled to produce emails

John Zmirak: The Left Is Purging People for Power and Money
"You have in this article at stream dot org. You lay this out. There are people who are waking up to this reality that the left no longer cares about truth.

There were senators, democratic senators, we have entered a new era. And it seems that the left has gotten really clear about the fact that they don't believe in the left is purging people like Glenn greenwald and Naomi wolf, who believe in truth, like Tulsi Gabbard. There's no more room on the left for sincere leftists. The left has realized it is all about power and money. It has that in common with big corporations with big pharma with Pfizer with Google with Microsoft. They are more and more openly simply the party of the 1%, the 1% is leftists because they figured out that's what is more profitable. That's what makes it easier to concentrate power

Glenn Greenwald: The Left Orchestrated Efforts to Smear Conservatives
"Listen to journalist Glenn greenwald last night on Fox News channel's Tucker Carlson show talking about the orchestrated effort to smear conservatives after the shooting of the innocent shoppers at the top's grocery store in Buffalo, New York. I was really amazed at the not just the rapidity with which this coordinated messaging campaign emerged to try and blame this network and political opponents, but also just how unanimous it was, particularly since the only thing that was known about the person who carried out this massacre was a 181 page, very densely written manifesto that as you said had a wide range of kind of unrelated ideas he called himself a left wing authoritarian on the one hand, a fascist on the other hand, there was no way these people could have taken the time to have read that to have learned about the mental health of this person. They didn't care what the facts were. They say saw an opportunity in those corpses laying on the ground and the opportunity was political and exploitative and they seized on it together and quickly in a way that made clear that their concern or sadness for the victims was a complete pretense they instantly weaponized it before anything was known.

Things like getting rid of bots of making the verification process easier, providing an edit button, the one proposal that he is so controversial and that is generated all of this upset and outrage among the media class is he wants to make free speech values more predominant to erode and roll back what has become a very aggressive censorship regime where the range of views that you're permitted to express is constantly contracting. And it is bizarre to me Howie that journalist who traditionally a prided ourselves on being the defenders, the frontline defenders of free speech and press freedom values now at least in many sectors seem to be the leading crusaders in favor of more censorship of silencing dissident voices of silencing and de platforming their competitors and clearly the horror about Elon Musk taking over Twitter, a platform most important immediately because we just said it is all about the fact that they rely on the heavy censorship hand for managing the discourse and for getting rid of rivals.

Bernie Sanders Is Making Some Good Points About Russia
"I want to talk about Russia and Ukraine. There was a op-ed that Bernie Sanders wrote today and we saw Glenn greenwald is commenting on it. Basically saying, hey, this is like usual Russia bashing that's become sort of like the throwaway line. Democrats have to put in anything that they say or do. But then he makes some great points about how in 1962 we were on the brink of a nuclear war with Russia when they put nuclear warheads 60 miles off the coast, 90 miles off the coast of the United States. Now we're talking about bringing Ukraine into NATO potentially. This was started under Bush, and if we observe the spheres of influence argument, what are we to make of that? Does Russia have valid concerns to be nervous about what the U.S. is doing with our partners in NATO? Look, I almost spit out my coffee when I was reading it this morning because I'm like, this is Bernie Sanders, right? The same Bernie Sanders, you know, we know he's a Russia expert. He took his honeymoon there in Moscow back in the I believe back in the 60s when it was full on communist USSR. We would know that he loved the politics over there, but it seems that again, you get these glimmers, every once in a while of nationalism from Bernie Sanders. If these glimmers of populism, where he realizes that, you know what? War isn't always the answer, the way it seems to be for so many in Washington, D.C.. And so this is something where I think that just like TPP, I'm going to have to go ahead and say, Bernie Sanders, like you said, is making some very good points because he says Russia as a state does feel concerned about the encroachment of NATO. I'm just reading from this. To put it simply. Russia like the United States still has an interest in the security policies of its neighbors. Does anyone really believe that the United States would not have something to say, for example, if Mexico was able to form a military alliance with the U.S.

"Code the daylights out, but he also has this malware installed in his head on the humanity side, and even though that's latent, what the NYT did is mash these buttons. And so it activated them like manchurian candidates within the tech companies. Oh, everybody is racist here. These are like some of the most globally diverse firms in the world, right? And in fact, there's this website, technological, and the people making the accusations. Exactly, that's right. Now again, I'm not the kind of person who believes why doesn't insult, but they are, and they're like, but within that framework they violate their own framework, constantly. Exactly. That's right. That's right. So essentially, now, I think what's happened is post 2020, an important series. So for about 6 years, this tech lash was happening. And Travis kalanick. He got Uber taken away from him. It was decapitated. By the way, on that, the guy who did it made tons of money on a book advance, the venture capitalist who backstab Travis, his name was actually elated from all of the news reports. So this was something where the actually unethical VC and the unethical journal combined against the founder, that's a story that actually hasn't been told. Which a whole separate thing. But essentially, they're all these tech folks who are just canceled, attacked, and so on them. But the thing is, and this is actually goes back to the original point, the American regime is just much less competent and much less ruthless than the Soviets or the Nazis or the CCP are. Because when the Soviets are Nazis purge somebody, they killed them. Okay. Or jailed them. There's life, liberty, and or property was taken away. In this, you know, kind of, you know, like sort of attempt to cancel and crush and so on because it was soft power, people lost reputation points. They certainly lost deals. They were financially harmed. I'm not going to say that it was a small thing. It's a big thing for many people. Many people, their careers were ruined, but many weren't. And because they weren't killed or jailed, they could eventually mount a comeback and many of them have and now they're completely outside the matrix because when you go and blow up one person in Hollywood or one person in tech, they have 50 Friends. And all of those friends have just seen this person getting denounced in the press in this completely unfair way by a group of media corporations that competed with these tech companies, and so they know it is at least partially economically motivated rather than this moral high horse. And so that led to over time enough people in tech realizing that, okay, we're at war here..

"People are in denial about one or the other. Most people are not modeling both. Okay. And if you're modeling both, what it means is that the soft power propaganda state of NYT and I put them as kind of at the zenith of it, just as a side remark, by the way, one of my TCs I'd love to hear your view on this Glen is that the reason that of the legacy power centers of the U.S. you have academia and you have Hollywood and you have D.C. and you have media dependent on the reason that the media became the point of the spear against tech is it was the only thing in the establishment that had the 24/7 metabolism of tech that say it takes like a year to get a paper out in academia. It takes multiple years to get a law out. It takes like a year to get a film out. But the news media had a 24 hour cycle so they became like, you know, sort of the most prominent part of the establishment. For example, you didn't see that many anti tech films, you did see anti tech books coming out of acne, but they were slow and they didn't really own the whole thing. It was really the press versus tech. Well, and also, also, I think it's because like the media climate commandeer, the power of tech in order to empower themselves as a bulwark against it. The reason The New York Times is powerful now is and because they distribute lots of physical papers to doorsteps, it's because the brand means that hundreds of millions of people around the world listen to what they say over Facebook and Twitter and other YouTube and other social media platforms. So in a lot of ways, they've been able to commandeer the power of tech and use it against tech as well. I want to talk about this for a second, actually, because I think this is critically important. The zeroth point I was going to make and then I'll jump into that one is they're totally leveraged on soft power. And when soft power runs out. And what does it mean in south power runs out? When the Chinese say FU when the trumpers say, when the Russians say when tech says, if you win Bitcoin says, when web three says if you, when El Salvador says if you when Germany and even India, like on the sanction, say, when everybody says FU.

And that's a fundamental thing. This establishment can not handle the change of the Internet, so they're trying to do is jam it back into the box. Push it back into the garage, use what powers they have. But even there, they're two 80 D to truly do that. They kind of lost a lot of energy after 2021, and they didn't push it all the way. And now the backlash is coming off. And BTC and web three and.

"And maybe in the kind of utopian vision that they have not necessarily from centralized state control, but certainly from states centralized state control as the state is currently constituted. And I would say the same is true of people on the right. And so if you use the analogy of encryption, a tool to prohibit centralized state authorities or non state actors from monitoring and subjecting us to surveillance and what we do on the Internet, lots of different ideological camps across the world, lots of different social and political movements have a strong interest in ensuring that that can be done. That's why you know The Pentagon on the one hand obsessed with spying on its adversaries, including the domestic population, but also eager to invest into itself the ability to immunize itself from spying, invested in things like the Tor project. Oftentimes, these technologies are of benefit, they can be a really powerful weapon, regardless of what your ultimate ideological vision is. You know, it doesn't really matter if you only want it to strengthen democracy or strengthen the individual or if you have a more radical vision of abolishing the state or ushering in anarchy or some other more extreme political ideology, anyone who's dissatisfied with the status quo and eager to free ourselves of centralized authority should be supportive of any technology that can do that, regardless of the how it can then be used. And I think, you know, the other point I would make the one that I just had, I do agree that there's no systemic discipline in the United States or the west more broadly to impose the kinds of censorship and control. They wish they could. I saw this interview. There was this really interesting part of Candace Owens recent interview with Trump, where she was, I forget exactly the context, but disparaging the Chinese. I think the way the Chinese are treating their students or schools and Trump essentially said, what do you mean? China, they do everything better than we do. You know, it was like the authoritarian admiration for how efficient they are, you know, in his frustration that the United States is incapable of that level of harsh, you know, just efficacy and doing what they want to do. Sometimes though, this kind of flailing arbitrary censorship or other forms of repression can be quite dangerous as well. And I know all of you are intending to get downplay it. So I agree with you, it's not systemic that does create an opening, but I also do think that the kind of flailing attempt to be repressive can be quite menacing and what I ultimately want to do with this Bitcoin discourse is try and bring as many people in as possible and to talk about it in a way that ceases to alienate, particular ideological camps for whatever reasons have been trained quite effectively to be hostile to a technology that could actually empower them. Yeah, that's a really great point. One of the things I've tried to do is speak to as many people as possible. But what you were saying originally, it made me think of something one of my friends Parker Lewis. He's been on the show a bunch of times. But he has this thing he says. He said, liberals are going to love Bitcoin when they figure out what it can do for lower income families, but Democrats will hate it. Conservatives will love Bitcoin when they figure out what it can do for the budget deficit, but Republicans will hate it. And I think the point he's trying to make is is that Bitcoin is a tool that can serve anyone..

"Was completely absent from that movie, which actually insane from today's vantage point going back in time and rewatching it. You're like, it's essentially the story of a college social network where people are poking each other and so on. Nothing of the present day is kind of foreshadowed there. Even the Arab Spring stuff because that had happened overseas and Facebook and Twitter were a part of it. It hadn't happened at home, the filmmakers didn't think of that as material, which is amazing from today's vantage point. And I think in the same way cryptocurrency for first ten years has been dismissed as a fad or a bubble or this or that. A lot of the same words that were used on social media. And the Internet generally remember Paul krugman famous has said the Internet's going to be like the fax machine, you know? That's right. And about Bitcoin. Same with Bitcoin. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. The modern U.S. establishment I think can only react in one of two ways, either a apathy, or B panic. Either they're dismissive because it's unimportant and it's never going to get anywhere long tech bro, whatever, right? Or, oh my God, it's the end of democracy. You know, we're all gonna die blah blah blah. And so the negativity is constant, but at first they're negative because it can never be important, and then they're negative because it is too important. And that just flips like that. Now, what is absent from that, of course, is sort of a judiciousness about writing the lightning and aligning yourself with these waves, you know? And you know the way I think about it is certainly social media and crypto are like the n-th power of this. But if you go back further in time, there was the repeal of the fairness doctrine and cable news shows. And so you can trace it farther back, deregulation would have you various forces on both right and left, essentially led to a more in the sense, you know, small sense liberal speech and market environment. And I actually think that the current crackdown is sort of a Battle of the Bulge. It's kind of too little and too late. The only really started it after 3 billion people got social media and there's all these smartphones out there and encryption is out there and so on and so forth. And one of the most important things in my view is after January 2021, I was sort of holding my breath to see what was going to happen because you had unified control of government and people were the parlor thing it just happened and so on. And I kind of thought we might be in for a wave of just mass censorship and disappearing of all kinds of accounts, all kinds of apps, and then once you chew through one group of people then the moderate conservatives and then the dissident liberals. And so like everybody just gets disappeared. I kind of thought that might happen. It was a possibility given the energy last January. That didn't happen. And I think that's a really interesting thing that it didn't because this government just like the previous government is like an 80 D Starbucks caffeinated sugar rush government where they have no attention span beyond what's on Twitter that day. Everything is like that now, including the state itself. And so because of that, they don't actually even have the attention span to prosecute a determined campaign of censorship of regime enemies, just like Trump didn't have the attention span to actually be the fascists that everybody said he was going to be..

"It also seemed kind of elusive in terms of grasping the macroeconomic implications, not very many people, I think are well steeped in even the political implications, let alone the economic ones of how currency is organized. And I think the more cultural and political potential of Bitcoin is a technology, the kind of thing that allows you to just highlighted is something people only recently are thinking about. And I know for me, you know, if it were just kind of an investment vehicle or some macroeconomic instrument, I probably wouldn't be interested in it. What has interested me and is interesting me more and more is the potential to decentralize everything. Because, you know, even going back to the work I did with Edward Snowden, the ultimate mission of that cause was a free Internet. It wasn't so much preservation of the right to privacy. That was obviously a subsidiary aim. But it was really an attempt to restore the idea that the Internet is supposed to be this free emancipatory technology, which by necessity means it's not subject to centralized corporate and state control. And then obviously the last two or three years has elevated a certain cause even further, which is the extreme and escalating, always escalating. Censorship by big tech of political discourse over the Internet, which is also a threat to that same cause. And so to the extent Bitcoin can be a kind of bulwark against that, it becomes a very interesting not just to me, but to a lot of people who previously weren't interested in it. Precisely because the problems with corporate journalism we could obviously spend a lot of time talking about those their endless. I think a solution that has emerged that's exciting is the emergence of this new independent media ecosystem. The problem is it is dependent upon the same centralized structure and power dynamic and technology, we look at Joe Rogan, for example. There's a vulnerability he has that he depends upon Spotify, which can zap him off the platform at any moment. Even these alternative platforms designed to be to be a kind of check against those pressures like rumble or substack calling some of these other platforms that are waving the spanner of free speech in a way that I find persuasive. Also, at the end of the day, our vulnerable to Amazon, Google, Apple, capitulating to the kind of pressure that was placed on them when they destroyed parler at the moment that parler was the single most downloaded app in the United States more than Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, every other app. And so I view this growing threat.

World Media Thought Kyle Rittenhouse Shot 3 Black People... He Did Not
"Do you know that the world media thought that Kyle rittenhouse shot three black guys? You come somebody a white supremacist, you must assume that he's targeting black people, right? Listen to Glenn greenwald, on Fox News the other night, talking he lives in Brazil interestingly enough. So when you see Glenn greenwald, the independent journalist on Tucker Carlson are on TV. He's coming to you from, I think Rio de Janeiro, but not mistaken. He doesn't live here in the United States. He watches the world media. Listen to Glenn greenwald's analysis of the way the world media covered the Kyle rittenhouse case. If you rely on the media, you should feel betrayed, you know, I'm somebody before I was a journalist who worked as a lawyer inside courtrooms for more than a decade. So I knew that it's very difficult to cast a judgment about an event this complex without seeing the evidence at trial. So I waited before forming a judgment. And when I did sit down to watch the trial, I was infuriated that everything I had been taught to believe about what happened here by the media was radically different than the facts of the case as they developed. And Dan, I don't know if you've seen this, but multiple media outlets around the world, like the biggest ones in Brazil in Holland in the UK have all repeatedly reported that the people that Kyle rittenhouse killed were black because they were misled by the American media who kept saying this was a white supremacist on a terrorist hunt and therefore they naturally presumed because they were deceived also by the American media that his victims were black. Isn't that incredible that actual media outlets around the world reported that Kyle rittenhouse shot black people? The three people he shot were white.

I know where you sleep. I know where your house is. I know where your kid goes to school. That's what they were saying. Look what they were screaming to those school board members while they were getting into their car. I know where you live, so you're. I mean, these people really want to kill. I mean, this is amazing. So how does this guy so how does this hero out and prevent the killing of okay, so back to the story? It's a 6 or 8 month project. He was with them. He went to many of their trainings, he was constantly wearing a wire when he was with them. And he was sharing with the FBI. They could see in real time all of the conversations these guys were having their encrypted chats. So there are thousands of pages of encrypted chats and there are hundreds of hours of conversation that he had with these different guys. So what you have is in the court records, you have some of the transcribed material that the prosecution is alleging. And you can see what they were saying. They can't say they didn't say it. And then you have the defense lawyer saying, well, you know, there's a 150 hours or I don't know hundreds of maybe thousand hours. I can't remember what it was a huge number of hours of audio. So the defense lawyers are trying to listen to it. One of them, the defense lawyer for the guy, they accuse of being the leader. He spent all summer in his office with his headphones on and his other staff listening to these conversations. And their response is they're picking out of those conversations, things where it looks like the FBI agent or the informant was going along with the plot. And they're saying, well, look, he was, you know, so they cherry pick out that material. And then what you have is, you know, because we're in this vacuum period in news vacuum on the case because the prosecution made its indictment and their preliminary hearings. And now it's silent time until the trial. The prosecution is not going to sit there and talk about this. If you're a journalist, you can't get them to talk about this now. It's a case that's going to trial. So what you have are the defense lawyers trying their case in the media. And that's why you've got huge story on BuzzFeed. That alleges that this is all, you know, that there is an alleged based on a lot of documents that they've gotten from the defense and also looking at the record that this was 100% entrapment case or a very, very clear case of entrapping these guys in that, you know, that gets picked up by the intercept by Glenn greenwald because who knows what side he's on? And then what you're seeing is Tucker Carlson using it in that ridiculous documentary that he did recently. I can't remember the title of it, where he's trying to surge. Pardon me? It's called patriot purge. Patriot purge, where he's trying to, he's trying to argue that, well, the one 6 was a setup by the deep state and look at what they did in Michigan. So they're using as the Michigan as a microcosm of what they were going to do in one 6..

"Let let let us be laissez. Faire actually has has has has a logic to it where you let them slug it out. In the markets lungs are killing each other right. They're not doing things like sabotage. Or you know things like that Comes up because that's actually better for customers now. This is actually related to Believe lena cons whole antitrust thing was that customer harm was insufficient as as a theory of antitrust right. So they're moving away from you know customer harm in consumer welfare to like a different kind of thing so the laws are being changed in retroactively. So just finish this point them. Let me argue the other side of it right. The key thing here is as a venture capitalist. You'd need to have the possibility of a hundred million and billion dollar exit to fund the riskier ten billion in one hundred billion dollars. Ipo if you don't have because this are rarer right. That's like you know you need to have the possibility of singles and doubles Not just swing for the fences every single time because you'll get fewer hits right. There's there's you know and so if you cut that off what actually happens is not like oh there's way more companies that go ipo. It's way fewer because when you remove the deepest pocketed bidders from the auction right when these big companies can't fight anymore. There's a whole buyer. That's being taken out from the and that means venture capitalist makes less money and that means there's less money for venture capital means this month less money for startups. So the numbers star shrinks so when you cut off acquisition you cut off the number of startups. nc actually cut off competition to these institutions. So it's i. It seems like a first order thing you know i. It was compelling to some people. I think the stupidest thing in the world if you're on the other side but it seems some people if you stop the big companies from buying their competitors then we'll have more competitors actually if you stop them from buying. Their cutters will be far fewer because venture capital fund. Far fewer of them right. Okay so now. Let me argue other point. Which is you know glenn greenwald who you know i. I'm i'm friendly with on twitter. Whatever but basically in him. And i sort of had kind of parallel migrations in some way where over the last eight years. I have become much more skeptical of centralized corporate power. I think he's been much become much more skeptical of sort of legacy media and if over the twenty tens. You could see the conflict. A of the conflict was tech for immediate. That was just one theater of our global social war you know. And that's why. I think that as by the way not the civil war but social war. I'll come back to that point. You know what it is now. It's not tech versus media it's decentralized tech and media like sub stack and crypto and so on versus centralized tekken media namely the legacy incumbents. Who are losing a lot of their smartest people that still have.

You want to see how we get to group think and how people believe things that aren't true. Listen to this sucker here, a little background on it. So Barry Meyer was a former New York Times journalist. And he wrote this book recently. And the book is about how the whole Russian collusion thing happened. And how fusion GPS these air basically paid spies who were paid to feed information to media outlets that we now know. Was it true, Donald Trump colluded with the Russians? You've heard it all before. We don't need to re litigate the collusion hoax here. It's all fake. Okay, it's made up, you get it. But Meyer didn't expose in his bookkeeper minds Got you sorry for The New York Times isn't right for bright Bart. Conservative Review Bongino calm. He was right for the New York Times, and he's highlighting and sounding the alarm over this. Paid intelligence operation Fusion, GPS and others who are paid to produce political information and then feed it to media. People who run with it. Well, what's the problem with them? Information often turns out to be false. Sounds like a big problem. So it's a cop who's a big lefties interviewing Barry Meyer and instead of celebrating the fact that conservative media My show, Fox news. Other shows out there. Molly Hemingway Home and Jenkins John Solomon, who got the collusion hoax story right that it was a hoax instead of celebrating it liberal Michaelis a cough is more concerned about the fact that right wing media chose to have Barry Meyer despite him having written for The New York Times on their shows.

C is fully militarized with troops, and everyone seems to be perfectly happy about it. I know it is remarkable that that was such a crazy opinion to bring in troops just to make sure people are burning buildings down. That was so crazy just a few months ago to everyone on the left. They had to fire the people who approved the op ed by a U. S. Senator. And now again, and I would agree that it's it's important to make sure this is a secure event. I have no problem with what what the what D C looks like for a few days here, but the idea that the left is now cheering this on because of such a damaging, um, threat of the right Because it's the right. It's okay to bring the troops in to protect the people because it's important people in D C. It's okay to use force to protect them supposed to some business owner in Minneapolis.

He says critics of Silicon Valley censorship for years for the same refrain. Tech platforms like Facebook, Google and Twitter are private corporations and can host her band. Whoever they want, If you don't like what they're doing, the solution is not to complain or to regulate them. Instead go create your own social media platform that operates the way you think it should. The founders of part of the herd that suggestion and tried in August 2018. They created a social media platform similar to Twitter, which promised far greater privacy protections, including a refusal to aggregate user data in order to monetize them to advertisers or algorithmic. Lee evaluate their interest in order to promote content or products to them. Also promised to far greater free speech rights, rejecting the increasingly repressive content policing of Silicon Valley giants over the last year, Parlor encountered immense success. Millions of people had objected to increasing repression of speech on the largest platforms who had themselves been banned. Signed up for the new social media company is all Glenn Greenwald's reporting. As of the end of last year was the 10th most downloaded social media app of 2020 with 8.1 million new installs, according to TechCrunch. It looked as though parlor had proven critics and Silicon Valley monopolistic power wrong. Their success showed it was possible to create new social media platforms to compete with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Today. If you wanna download or sign up for use parlor you're gonna be unable to do so as because the Amazon and Google and Apple abruptly united to remove a parlor from the Internet exactly at the moment when it became the most downloaded app in the country.
