Glenn Greenwald charged with Cyber Crimes by the Fascist, Bolsonaro Government, Brazil.

Award winning journalist, Glenn Greenwald, most noted for the publication of the Edward Snowden revelations, and co-founder of The Intercept, was charged this morning of Cyber crimes, more specifically, is accused of being part of a “criminal organisation”, that hacked into the cell phones of noteworthy Brazilian politicians, prosecutors and right wing pundits, that conspired to send the left wing leader, Lula Da Silva to jail, and ensure a right wing victory in Brazil's last general election. Through the lies and trumped up charges, they succeeded in wining the election and imprisoning Lula. (Since these leaked messages, published by The Intercept Brazil, Lula has currently been released from prison.) That said, Glenn Greenwald is being charged of Cyber crimes.

To gain a deeper understanding of this current violation of Greenwald's rights as a journalist, under the Brazilian constitution, and these charges, one needs to understand Brazil's current president, Jair Bolsonaro. One can almost call him a cut-out cliche' of a right wing fascist dictator.

First of all, Bolsonaro has the full backing of the Trump government. This single fact alone should tell you all you need to know, but let's continue. Bolsonaro has boasted his admiration for the US supported military dictatorships which ruled the country from 1964-1985. He believed that Brazil prospered during these repressive times. Since becoming president, international and American corporations have swept into the country, enriching only a few. Like Trump, he is supported by right wing Evangelical groups, hating the LBGTQ community, and hoping and wishing for Armageddon. He is a climate change denier, and has opened the Amazon forest for more deforestation. Though claiming to be a man for the people, he is not. To be certain, the man is a gangster using violence against his enemies, and lying for political expediency. Finally, The Intercept Brazil revealed, by way of the hacked phones, the corruption of Minister Moro, then a leading judge, who lied and jailed Lula Da Silva, based on false charges, thereby preventing the most popular politician in Brazil from running for president, enabling Bolsonaro's win. It is no wonder this fascist government is coming after Glenn Greenwald.

Some months ago, Greenwald caught wind that the Federal police were hacking into his finances. This led to Brazil's Supreme Court ruling the barring of the F police from investigating Greenwald's role in the dissemination of the leaked emails and messages. Contrary to the nations law, this right wing government has charged Greenwald anyway, similar to the British holding of Julian Assange, (see blog: https://sychronicity1.blogspot.com/2020/01/julian-assange-uk-breaking.html ) for it seems, like most dictatorships, the rule of law never applies to them.

It was heartening to see a few MSM journalist, sticking up for Greenwald on social media today. However most of them prefaced their tweets with, “Though you may not agree with the man...” or “Greenwald's politics might be (…) but...” , covering their corporate, collective asses.

Any journalist worth their salt, any person who upholds the constitutional right of freedom of the press, should be behind Glenn Greenwald, one hundred percent.

If not, they're either ridiculously stupid, or mere stenographers for the Intelligence community. And to be sure, I read a few of those this morning.

Glenn Greenwald, in a statement said, he would continue his work on this story, despite the governments illegal charges of Cyber crimes.

Greenwald is fearless and one of the best journalists we have in the world.
