Well, good old John (means what it says, no snidery intended) is at least demonstrating that his bout of TDS hasn’t completely buggered his judgement. He seems to have bought rather into the ‘Trump the monster’ syndrome, though; where a savvier stance would be the increasingly-popular mantra: ‘The US isn’t a democracy, and it doesn’t matter who’s president.’ That at least is the real-world basis from which to start any commentary, as the Anglozionist empire accelerates into its decline and fall.
I guess we’ll just have to hope that those weird, apparently ‘UFO’-mediated shut-downs of entire nuclear weapons silos that have been reported sporadically by apparently-credible US military officers over the MAD years will continue to do their stuff whilst the empire crashes. Note that comparable disablement incidents were happening with USSR nuclear weaponry over the same period, according to information percolating to the West after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
FWIW, perhaps I should just say that my hunch is that these incidents, far from being little grey humanoids visiting us from far planets, are just modern-dress variants (that’s to say in cod startrekky getups, to massage our currently-dominant scientism myths) of the Trickster mysteries which human observers have been reporting for millennia, though usually in less ‘technological’ manifestations; more ‘spirits’ and ‘ghosts’ and such. These I take to be poltergeist-type events, which distressed human minds have been conjuring forever, as far as history can see; and - presumably - for many shamanic generations before recent millennia, too. Certainly, it’s still possible to conjure comparable PK manifestations right now today, if you care to interest yourself in the hidden sub-culture that still carries on such seance skills, below the radar of official reality. As I know from direct personal witnessing.
OK, put this weird excursion of mine in this comment down to geriatric dottiness in one who’s so old he’s losing it (if that reassures you! 
). But my actual-experience-generated confidence in these realities gives me considerable comfort when contemplating the calamity potential during the chaotic collapse of nuclear-armed fascist empires… 
I didn’t think he was falling for “Trump the monster” I think he’s making the case that the Democrats along with big-tech are using Trump fear to usher in much more authoritarian regimes than we had before.
(Though it’s surprising that he doesn’t follow this to its logical conclusion regarding the Coronavirus pandemic, I’ll come back to that)
For Glenn Greenwald, John says: (emphasis added)
“That is because the dominant strain of American liberalism is not economic socialism but political authoritarianism. Liberals now want to use the force of corporate power to silence those with different ideologies. They are eager for tech monopolies not just to ban accounts they dislike but to remove entire platforms from the internet. They want to imprison people they believe helped their party lose elections, such as Julian Assange, even if it means creating precedents to criminalize journalism.”
And
Jonathan Cook spells out the wider implications:
“In this case, however, the ones deciding which users get to speak and which are banned are the globe-spanning tech corporations, the wealthiest companies in human history. Facebook and Twitter have justified banning Trump, and anyone else, on the grounds that he violated vague business “terms of service” – the small print on agreement forms we all sign before being allowed access to their platforms. But barring users from the chief means of communication in a modern, digitised world cannot be defended simply on commercial or business grounds, especially when those firms have been allowed to develop their respective monopolies by our governments.”
John himself adds: “The purging of left and dissenting platforms will now intensify, all underwritten by new extended ‘terms of service’.”
But here’s the thing. The so-called coronavirus ‘pandemic’ if that’s what it is (carefully chosen words, noting that government responses to the disease seem to have driven the rates of death much higher than would have been natural if doctors had been allowed to treat patients early) has created just the scenario to test John’s thesis. Big tech - hugely instrumental in denying the efficacy of HCQ, Vitamin D, Vitamin C and Ivermectin - has colluded closely with the media in keeping just one covid narrative in the public mind - fear, lockdowns and then vaccines as a solution, but all to remain as part of the future.
Have Greenwald or Cook come out against the banning of covid dissenters posting medical evidence counter to the covid narrative? My recollection is that Cook has been critical of alternative covid narratives and John certainly has.
We have the situation where medically ignorant people are censoring covid-dissenting doctors and medics (and medical evidence) on social media platforms - the very platforms and billionaires that Cook, Greenwald and John have in mind with that “dominant strain of American liberalism”.
Medical evidence is also frequently faced down in other science or news-based platforms, with superficial ‘fact-checks’ that rarely bear detailed scrutiny.
Now Covid has boosted the power of these platforms to the present dangerous levels. Covid played a big part in deposing Trump as middle-medical-democrat America refused to countenance the efficacy of the ‘Trump drug’ in election year and with media/big tech support managed to polarize the covid positions, incapacitating public questioning of lockdowns and vaccines. This polarization spread internationally via the WHO (and a less often mentioned billionaire).
To paraphrase, America sneezed and the rest of the world kept Covid; and the UK punched above its weight in key support, as usual.
