On this episode of SYSTEM UPDATE with Glenn Greenwald: The Pentagon got caught lying about a drone strike it launched in Afghanistan. It claimed it killed two ISIS plotters on the way to the Kabul airport and that “secondary explosions” caused by the bomb may have killed civilians. All of that was false. They killed no terrorists, only 10 innocent civilians, including 7 children. And until the NYT’s Sept. 10 investigation, the media spent many days mindlessly spreading their falsehoods.
They are not journalists, they are corporate propaganda machine workers
Just rehashing the Nixon line
I was not lying, I said things that later on seemed to be untrue."
"Whoops." – General McKenzie
Apparently, the Daniel Hale story, who uncovered that 90% of those killed by drones are not the target, but innocent civilians, has died. He is rotting in jail because of his evidence. Wow. So very, very sad.
Sounds like blantent lying….
Glenn's body of journalistic work is proof that we've been lied to all along.
Glen, Glen, Glen, thank God for your existence.
When the voice in the wilderness exposing the mania of the establishment left is a gay Jew you know you are in interesting times.
The media, without any evidence, claims to have an interest in credible news reporting.
Dem Party media swamp.
At any rate, these were straight punishment killings for the airport. As such, they didn’t care who they hit…
“Bad man… blow up man “
"You should just quit journalism. Go work for the Whitehouse…". Absolutely. Do everyone a favor and stop poisoning the public space with partisan propaganda masquerading as "good journalistic practice". We don't need you to "take care of us", thank you very much. If the Biden's screw up, that's on them. You don't need to protect them and you don't need to protect us "from ourselves".
Biden regime are Devils and the media are the accomplished!
ALL WAR CRIMINALS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MUST BE ARRESTED AND BROUGHT TO THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!
Excellent segment Glenn, as usual. Regards
When will people wake up and understand the government lies to you every single day? The country is not run by elected officials but these agencies full of unelected criminals. MIC is never investigated but they control everyone you see in front of the camera, from MSM to Hollywood.
It looks like they killed some random people just to change the news cycle. Just like they let thousands of unvetted Afghans fill up the planes so they could pretend they had the greatest evacuation ever. I’m wondering how long before we start having terrorist attacks in the United States.
It's alright, as a follower of Modi and radical BJP groups, Tulsi Gabbard is a big believer in droning muslims whenever possible, because of "Islamism". Everything is going to be ok.
October 2020: Trump claims without evidence a vaccine will be available by the end of 2020. This is a lie. A vaccine is impossible to safely develope in that time span! Operation Warp Speed is a dangerous scam!
November 2020: why yall won't take our vaccine??? This must be Trump's fault!
nation building
Way more civilians die in drone strikes than do terrorists. The drone program is immoral, and should not be allowed to continue.
See guys, John Kirby at Pentagon is not a liar, he;s an enlightened being; he always tells the truth "IN THE MOMENT". If it turns out not to be the truth the next moment then it's your problem because you not living IN THE MOMENT as he does.
Speaking to us in good faith? THEU CAN"T STOP: LIEING
Communist lie. That is what they do. This is how we recognize them.
Excellent reporting — thanks!
20 reasons to impeach Biden: 13 servicemen killed + 7 children killed. It's time for Biden to go away, far away.
Glen you are reel journalist, not like the vast majority of the others that take money for their complicity in lying,, what harm has the journalistic trade done to destroy whole countries.
How are you sure of it? I don't know . LOL !
I knew hours after the attack just by watching RT for no more than five minutes that there was children killed in the attack. Yet you have gaslighting individuals like Krystal Ball giving all of the credit to a NYT story for the reason the US government told the truth. It's more like the truth was out there and they were forced to report on it.
I'm ashamed of our mistaken drone bombing; but i'm really ashamed of our President for not owning the mistake. It's murder, folks, it's murder….
This is like when Bill Clinton ordered the bombing of an aspirin factory.
I've commented before, the press USED TO have an adversarial role with the government, now they are an extension of it!!!!
Wasn't Trump accused of constant lying? Is seems that Biden himself as well as his entire administration is setting a whole new level of serial lying to cover their incompetency. The lying is getting so prevalent that people and agencies are turning on each other. And Biden is getting thrown under the bus as the biggest liar. It turns out that in the world of gigantic egos, the biggest ego always wins.
when they wouldn't say who the target was, you knew something was sketch.
Good stuff Glenn.
Has anyone considered whether there was no mistake in the target? That this was straight up terrorism? That this is how you break the will of a conquered people?
Like you said in the beginning, they are stenographers not journalists. Stenographers for a fascist regime.
Wee all know the MSM is just another arm for the empire.
Ty for reporting on this.
The real terrorists / criminals are the one who are governing us.
Good thing this isn't 2016 or 2017 because then it would be immoral and worthy of impeachment proceedings. Now it's just another Friday evening at the Pentagon.
Julian Assange
I'm watching this a month later and this event has basically been memory holed. I haven't heard anything about accountability or justice. Now, everybody is talking about Biden farts. Noah, get the boat.
