As the mainstream media discuss ad nauseum Donald Trump’s comments about grabbing “her by the p*ssy” from more than a decade ago, Julian Assange and WikiLeaks released a fresh batch of documents that contain revealing emails from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
It seems Assange and WikiLeaks are doing the work that the media forgot to do this election cycle.
The media are downplaying the contents of the emails, much like what they did this past summer with the Democratic National Committee (DNC) leaks. However, there are quite a bit of details that provide fresh insight into Clinton, her advisers and the entire presidential campaign.
Here are five of the biggest takeaways from the Wikileaks release so far:
Clinton Camp Wants ‘an Unaware and Compliant Citizenry’
In March of this year, former Clinton administration official Bill Ivey emailed Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. He talked about how you need to have “an unaware and compliant citizenry” in order to maintain political power. And this is something both political parties count on each election cycle.
Ivey, who is a trustee of the Center for American Progress and was a Team Leader in the Barack Obama presidential transition, noted that Clinton can’t default to policy in order to defeat Donald Trump because of his celebrity status.
“And as I’ve mentioned, we’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry,” he wrote. “The unawareness remains strong but compliance is obviously fading rapidly. This problem demands some serious, serious thinking – and not just poll driven, demographically-inspired messaging.”
Ivey contends that the public is no longer easy to manipulate, which he believes is a problem. Ultimate, according to Ivey, “unawareness” is a benefit to the Clinton campaign.
This elitist attitude is truly frightening because those at the top believe you can be easily herded to the slaughterhouse because you’re too dumb to understand anything.
Clinton’s Advisers Know She’s a Liar
Hillary Clinton has an addiction to lying. For whatever reason, she has to lie about everything. She has lied about coming under sniper fire, she has lied about her name, she has lied about her political positions. If you look for the word lie in the dictionary you see Clinton’s face.
This is something that Clinton has acknowledged because she told bankers that you must have “both a public position and a private position.”
Everyone seems to be aware of Clinton’s constant fibbing, even her closest associates know about it, too.
Here is what Podesta penned in one email:
“Beyond this Hillary should stop attacking Bernie [Sanders], especially when she says things that are unture, which candidly she often does. I am one of the people with credibility to suggest Bernie people support her in November, and she and Benenson and others have no idea of the damage she does to hrself with these attacks, which she does not gain by making.”
In other words, she is fundamentally and perpetually dishonest, and her campaign knows it.
Saudi Arabia & Qatar Fund ISIS
For the past couple of months, Clinton has blamed Donald Trump for fueling the rise of ISIS. Although it was her State Department and her boss, Barack Obama, that helped indirectly establish the terrorist organization, she has ignored the facts that blamed her GOP opponent.
But who does Clinton really think is helping ISIS grow? Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Here is what Clinton stated in one email:
“…we need to bring pressure on the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region.”
The Democrats Know the Minimum Wage is Bad
This could perhaps be a very good thing. And it relates to the public position and the private position.
In private, the Democrats associated to Clinton know how bad the minimum wage is for jobs and the economy. In public, they champion the cause just to gather enough votes.
“Substantively, we have not supported — you will get a fair number of liberal economists who will say it will lose jobs. Most of rest seems fine (obviously trade sticks out),” wrote Neera Tanden, head of the liberal Center for American Progress, to Podesta, who used to be the head of that same organization.
Clinton has flip flopped on the $15 minimum wage. She initially said she was against a $15 minimum wage, but then changed that position since the Democratic primary.
Chelsea Clinton is a ‘Spoiled Brat’
Did you know that Chelsea Clinton is a “spoiled brat”? Well, like the old adage, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
In November 2011, Doug Band, the founder of Teneo, wrote to Podesta that “she is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she’s doing because she, as she has said, hasn’t found her way and has a lack of focus in her life. I realize she will be off of this soon but if it doesn’t come soon enough…”
Ostensibly, Chelsea’s poor behavior nearly drove Laura Graham, Clinton Foundation COO, to the brink of suicide.
“[Graham was] on staten island in her car parked a few feet from the waters edge with her foot on the gas pedal and the car in park. She called me to tell me the stress of all of this office crap with wjc and cvc as well as that of her family had driven her to the edge and she couldn’t take it anymore.”
Yeesh. How awful are the Clintons?
Was There Voter Fraud in 2008?
According to an email, “old friends of the Clintons” were worried that there could be widespread voter fraud in the Democratic Party caucuses, similar to what happened in 2008. Podesta wrote in the email that “they believe the Obama forces flooded the caucuses with ineligible voters.”
In order to prevent any election difficulties, Podestra told Marc Elias, the campaign’s top election lawyer, to contact worried Clinton family associates about organizing “lawyers for caucus protection, election protection…”
The email does not offer up any concrete evidence of voter fraud. It does show that some Democrats do think there was voter fraud eight years ago with the help of ineligible voters. Perhaps they used these tricks to stop Bernie Sanders.
New York Times Offers Questions to Bill Clinton
The Clinton Foundation’s Director of Foreign Policy Ami Desai emailed Podesta to get his feedback on answers pertaining to questions provided by the New York Times’s Nicholas Kristoff. The email highlights four questions pertaining to international issues.
Here is the email sent by Desai:
“[A]s you may know, WJC is doing Q+A with Nick Kristof on Wednesday (at the Foursquare Conference). It’s supposed to be closed press, but. Below are the questions they sent that are related to international issues – namely Israelis/Palestinians, China (trade/Tibet/Taiwan), and Greece/Euro. Are there any WJC Admin accomplishments that we should equip him to be able to highlight? [I put some initial ideas in CAPS below; and we also have requested input from the State Department.] We’d welcome any feedback by Sunday. Thanks, Ami.”
This just further shows how in the tank the media are. It’s ridiculous. And if the Clinton camp doesn’t like you then it will try to get you out of the political pool.
Final Thoughts
WikiLeaks is doing a great service for Americans and the people of the world. We’re all getting the inside scoop of how U.S. politics really works. Assange publishing these hacked documents provide a great deal of insight into how the entire system is rigged, how it’s nothing but political theater.
For the last decade, WikiLeaks has been opening up governments and uncovering some of the biggest scandals in the U.S. and around the world. Assange is being ridiculed now because he has exposed the Democrats, similar to what he did to the Republicans.
What else do Assange and WikiLeaks have left in their arsenal?
What’s terrifying is that the document dump is being dismissed as forgeries and incorrect, and everyone is eating up those lies. As journalist Glenn Greenwald opines:
“As you can see, more than 4,000 people have re-tweeted this “Official Warning.” That includes not only random Clinton fans but also high-profileClinton-supporting journalists, who by spreading it around gave this claim their stamp of approval, intentionally leading huge numbers of people to assume the WikiLeaks archive must be full of fakes, and its contents should therefore simply be ignored. Clinton’s campaign officials spent the day fueling these insinuations, strongly implying that the documents were unreliable and should thus be ignored. Poof: Just like that, unpleasant facts about Hillary Clinton disappeared, like a fairy protecting frightened children by waving her magic wand and sprinkling her dust over a demon, causing it to scatter away.”
People don’t like the truth because it eviscerates their illusions.
