The typical person living in today's world doesn't have the attention span to read in-depth analysis of real issues of fundamental importance. That includes me.
But we must force ourselves to read these sometimes very long articles if we want to truly understand what is going on. This article will be short. The one it points to is long.
Glenn Greenwald is one of the few journalists worth your time. I'm certain there are many things Greenwald and I disagree on, (he is a "man of the left" and I’m not) but I'm always more well informed after I read his articles. I don’t always agree but the truth is I usually do.
I urge you to read this and as many other Greenwald articles as you can find. His writing can be found at Substack among other places. You can subscribe there if you want to support independent journalism. You can also subscribe to this newsletter, at no charge, if you value any of my recommendations.
