Glenn Greenwald Bound and Robbed at Gunpoint in Terrifying, Violent Home Invasion
By Aidan McLaughlin Apr 4th, 2021, 7:50 pm
Journalist Glenn Greenwald revealed that he was robbed at gunpoint by a group of five men in a terrifying home invasion last month.
Greenwald told the story in an essay that addressed news of another home invasion in Oakland, in which a family was tied up, beaten, threatened with death, and robbed by a group of armed men.
He revealed that he faced a similar attack on March 5, at a house on a farm near Rio de Janeiro that his family has been renting during the pandemic. At the time of the invasion, Greenwald was at the farm, which he described as “isolated,†along with an off-duty cop hired to provide security. His family — a husband and two kids — was in Rio.
At around 9:30 p.m., Greenwald heard his dogs barking more than usual. When he went outside to see why, “three men wearing full black face masks descended on me, all pointing guns at me.â€
The robbers pushed him into the house, where two other men had his security guard face-down on the floor at gunpoint.

Is he an American or a Democrat?
He's an American who lives in Brasil. I don't believe he considers himself part of any political party.

He has a "husband" that is in politics in Brazil.... I think I could safely guess what political party he leans towards. We know his "husband" is an in an extreme left political group.

He's in Rio. Why should we care what happens there?

Men cannot have husbands.
Women cannot have wives.
It's what words mean.

Those of us on this site will all find much with which we disagree with Glenn Greenwald. However it is worth noting that he has :
denounced the three-year media/D "Russiagate" conspiracy as a hoax (https://theintercept.com/2019/04/18/robert-mueller-did-not-merely-reject-the-trumprussia-conspiracy-theories-he-obliterated-them/);
called 2020 vote-counting shenanigans in battleground states a "national disgrace" (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/glenn-greenwald-calls-inability-to-declare-presidential-victor-in-key-battleground-states-a-national-disgrace);
called out lies in coverage of the 6 January capitol demonstration (https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-false-and-exaggerated-claims);
and excoriated the media for further lies in the coverage (or non-coverage) of Hunter Biden's laptop (https://www.foxnews.com/media/greenwald-msnbc-nbc-cnn-significant-lie-hunter-laptop).
Greenwald is no conservative, by any definition. He is clearly a leftist and he's in a relationship he calls a marriage but which most of here cannot recognize as such. But he is a harsh critic of dishonesty among Ds and the media and of "cancel culture" censorship; in fact partisan D writers consider him something of a traitor. Whatever his personal issues or political ideology, we can acknowledge the consistency and validity of his arguments when they are consistent and valid.

Tucker Carlson has him on a lot. Personal morality aside he makes a lot of sense.

Well put, Houston Sam.

I wonder if his "husband's" name is "Dexter?" :laugh:

Thank you for this insight.

An example of his writing:

@ggreenwald
The people who err on the side of being suspicious and conspiratorial about hidden CIA involvement in bad events are being more rational and are more knowledgeable than those who err on the side of being gullible, trusting and faithful about what the CIA is capable of doing.

I don't think Greenwald lets his personal political beliefs (and I'm still not sure what they are) interfere with his story. He is a true investigative reporter who seeks to speak truth to power. He may be the last of a dying breed ....

In talking to @jimmy_dore about my new book "Securing Democracy," we devoted a segment to discussing the bizarre value system of contemporary journalism: what they do and don't value, and what this reflects about current news trends:

Agree 100%. I don't agree with him politically, but he's a model of journalistic integrity.

Honest reporting has no political party. Its all about dedication to reporting the truth, not CIA concocted horse shit.
Whats interesting is the ideological divide by Tucker/Greenwald (GenXers) is really not that far. I've noticed a lot of GenXers coming together to rebuild things, because the boomers have emotionally manipulated their own generation & many Millennials down the wrong path. Not all Millennials, I think the conservative Millennials are the ones who will help save the country, led by the GenXers who are also trying to restore some semblance of rationality. We don't hear a lot of conservative Millennials, but they're out there. Most of the grunts who fought in Iraq were Millennials, I know some my self, and they're the ones I have faith in to bring things back into balance.
