      Greenwald complaining that the U.S. would come and get him at any moment. Long before Balsonaro was in power.

        Mhh… Bolsonaro came to power in 2019 - Greenwald being worried about his safety in Brazil wasn’t on my radar before, but then again I would not exactly consider Brazil a country safe from CIA hitmen. But I just saw that Greenwald lost his husband in late spring 2023, so that might explain his going ga-ga. Mourning does things to some people’s minds. :/

          This was when Snowden leaked all the info to him, which was 2013. He spent like 3 years regularly saying his life was in danger. It was not.

            I would say just the fact that someone didn’t get murdered is a very weak argument to claim their life was not in danger. In other words, I think your assessment is less likely to be true than his.

              There was zero evidence his life was in danger. He just decided it was because he’s a whiner.

                Now you sound like a MAGA troll, spouting trivially refutable nonsense.

                  Yes. You’ve figured me out. I’m a MAGA troll because I don’t automatically believe things without evidence. 🙄
