You just aren’t that important: My NEW Taki’s column

May 19, 2015 By Kathy Shaidle

Can’t predict this week’s “JOOOOOOOOO!!!!”-yness without more coffee…

And of course, Glenn Greenwald.

He likes to mock the “I have nothing to hide” people, which is extra funny since some of us remember Greenwald back when he was an infamous-on-the-internet “sockpuppet.”

That is, when readers criticized his writing, he’d create fake identities to leave comments under his own articles, saying, “Leave Glenn alone! He’s a genius.”

He was easily busted, because it turned out that self-styled internet privacy expert Glenn Greenwald didn’t understand how IP addresses worked as late as 2006.

This is your vanguard?
