Glenn Edward Greenwald is a journalist, known for his involvement with the Snowden leak.

Career

Worked as a lawyer for a consulting company, then helping out a porn company ("“Hairy Jocks”") and later falling out with them over payment.

Greenwald started contributing to Salon in 2007, and to The Guardian in 2012. In June 2013, while at The Guardian, he began publishing a series of reports detailing previously unknown information about American and British global surveillance programs based on classified documents provided by Edward Snowden.

He signed the lucrative deal with deep state billionaire Pierre Omidyar to create The Intercept, for which he was co-founding editor until he resigned in October 2020. The deal allowed the Intercept to gain control over Edwards Snowden's materials, effectively strangling any new exposures. As of 2021, only 2% of the documents have been revealed.

Greenwald subsequently started publishing on Substack and on Rumble

Opposition to the word "terrorism"

Daniel Trombly wrote in August 2012 that "[Greenwald] rejects ‘terrorism’ as a useful term altogether, arguing, along with scholar Remi Brulin, that the term "terrorism" is primarily ‘propaganda’ for ‘justifying one’s own state violence’– especially of the American and Israeli variety — rather than a possible subject of expertise."

Concerns

Webster Tarpley writes that Greenwald has "compiled [an] impressive records of evasion on 9/11 truth [evasion]... specializing in the blowback theory."

GCHQ	“Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable.”	24 February 2014	The Intercept
