Welcome to today's program. My name is Glenn Dyson. With me is Alexander Mercuris from the Duran.

And we are joined today by Glenn Greenwald, one of the great journalists of our time. Welcome.

Thank you. Thank you for those nice words. Thanks for the invitation. I'm looking forward to our discussion.

So, well, among other stories, you're very well known for publishing the Edward Snowden

documents, which exposed mass surveillance of the US government, but you were also leading

journalists to counter the Russia gate, well, if you can call it the Russia gate hoax, in

which Trump was accused effectively being a Russian agent since 2016.

And then you also went after the unprecedented media

censorship, especially during the Hunter Biden laptop story during the election period of 2020.

And so, yes, so this will be some of our focus today because we really want to focus on how

we went from Russia Gate, which really poisoned

relations. It cemented this anti-Russian mentality and introduced, I guess, a very strange

acceptance and even celebration of censorship as a way of protecting democracy and really

how this impacted the current war in Ukraine. And it's, again, I know it's a long story involving,

you know, actual collusion between the political class and media and the intelligence

community with this, you know, consistent lying on, often an absence of accountability among

the journalists. So, again, it was front page news for years. And then I think it was very much exposed as a lot of the journalists. So again, it was front-page news for years, and then I think it was very much

exposed as largely or completely fake, but then it disappeared in the memory hall. So as we're

now going on to the next scandal, which is the Nord Stream and all the other narratives with Ukraine, which appears to also be fake,

it's worth remembering, I guess, where all of this started.

So at least it should have been more self-reflection after the truth about Russiagate emerged,

but there was not.
