- scoopertrooper 5y agoGlenn Greenwald has just gone a bit funny these days. When he's not repeating propaganda straight out of RT (like this), he's minimising the crimes committed on 6 January. https://greenwald.substack.com/p/as-the-insurrection-narrative-crumbles https://greenwald.substack.com/p/as-the-insurrection-narrati... https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-false-and-exaggerated-claims https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-false-and-exaggerated-c... https://www.rt.com/russia/524731-belarus-ryanair-similar-incidents/ https://www.rt.com/russia/524731-belarus-ryanair-similar-inc...

There is a need for a neutral leak platform, preferably one that takes humans entirely out of the loop and therefore removes all possibility of bias or strategic timing of releases. Maybe something involving cryptographic time locks? While Assange is a problematic character ultimately the problem isn’t him so much as the presence of any secretive cabal of humans in that position.
