Serial Glenn Greenwald hater Bob Cesca's latest Salvo of Bullshit:
He took this tweet of Greenwald's:
The ability to ignore virtually all history when advocating for The Next Western Intervention is as impressive as it is horrifying
And turned it into this:
Yeah, fuck finding those girls in Nigeria. NSA might have a copy of my Facebook Wonka meme, dammit. Priorities!
Thus transforming Greenwald's historically accurate statement..... into a proclamation of his indifference on the plight of the hostages.
Hop over the Distortion Field Generator for more of Bob's Big Lies
Evidently that wasn't enough, so he actually wrote a story with this absurd headline:
Glenn Greenwald: Supporting the Effort to Find 270 Kidnapped Nigerian Girls is “Horrifying”
It's so ridiculous, I don't even have much more to add.
But I do recommend reading this excellent piece by Jumoke Balogun at the Guardian.
You might not know this, but the United States military loves your hashtags because it gives them legitimacy to encroach and grow their military presence in Africa. Africom (United States Africa Command), the military body that is responsible for overseeing US military operations across Africa, gained much from #KONY2012 and will now gain even more from #BringBackOurGirls.
Last year, before Barack Obama visited several countries in Africa, I wrote about how the US military is expanding its role on the continent. In 2013 alone, Africom carried out a total of 546 “military activities” which is an average of one and half military missions a day. While we don’t know much about the purpose of these activities, keep in mind that Africom’s mission is to “advance US national security interests”.
And advancing they are. According to one report, in 2013, American troops entered and advanced American interests in Niger, Uganda, Ghana, Malawi, Burundi, Mauritania, South Africa, Chad, Togo, Cameroon, São Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Lesotho, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and South Sudan.
This is what GG was referring to. The notion that he simply "doesn't care" is absolute rubbish.
Not that it will stop Mr. Cesca from churning out more distortions. It's what he does.
