This document appears to be a page (labeled Chapter Nine) from a narrative report or book included in House Oversight files, detailing the background of journalist Glenn Greenwald and his initial contact with Edward Snowden in late 2012. It outlines Greenwald's previous career as a litigator and entrepreneur involved in adult entertainment, his financial troubles (IRS lien), and his pivot to anti-surveillance blogging for Salon and the Guardian. The text notes a political alignment between Snowden and Greenwald, as both donated to Ron Paul's campaign.

This document appears to be a page (p. 60) from a book titled 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein based on the filename and context), stamped as a House Oversight Committee document. It details the career and political activities of journalist Glenn Greenwald, including his move to Rio, his criticism of U.S. surveillance under Presidents Bush and Obama, and his support for WikiLeaks and Chelsea Manning via the Freedom of the Press Foundation. It highlights the connections between Greenwald, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and John Perry Barlow regarding the 'info war' surrounding government secrets.
