Random Joe, or should I say… GNU/Joe
(never sayd Podesta was a meanie. i think anyone involved in the DNC or GOP is probably a piece of shit that doesnt deserve my respect, but i think the same of many other political parties in many other countries…)
oh and by any chance, are you from the USofA? that way you have of being right about things by being louder… quite fascinating :)
you’re really funny :)
Wow that agressiveness :))
In that article (first time i heard of GOP being hacked I read
" Comey later added that “there was evidence of hacking directed at state-level organizations, state-level campaigns, and the RNC, but old domains of the RNC, meaning old emails they weren’t using. None of that was released.”
Comey said there was no sign “that the Trump campaign or the current RNC was successfully hacked.” "
So yeah “GOP being hacked” big deal. not “GOP emails were sent to WikiLeaks who decided not to publish it” which is indeed raw made up bullshit.
Also, according to
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37639370
“Ms Brazile took over at the DNC when its former chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz over hacked emails which revealed the party establishment’s favouritism towards Mrs Clinton.”
I never claimed the DNC undermined Sanders in the primary. That Clinton campaign undermined Sanders, it’s very different…
Do you really want we go and search in the Podesta emails to see who is right here?
What else? Assange caused global warming? Cause the US to let their pants down in Afghanistan? Assange has weapons of mass destructions? What else to justify the unjustifiable, all these violations of international and national rights, violations of human rights, mis-use of the US espionnage act against a non-US citizen and precedent that will affect all journalism? Maybe Assange caused UAPs…
Wait what? what Republicans’ emails? where have you heard that? I followed the case quite closely and never heard they had access to these emails.
So the answer would be: because no source came forward to them offering Republicans’ emails, otherwise they probably would have published them too…
A lot of the activity described in the US Army Warlogs in Afghanistan and Iraq happened under a Republican presidency… the Vaul7 release happened under a Republican presidency, etc. I think that reading WikiLeaks’ history under the ultra-narrow US prism of Republican-Versus-Democrats is a bit of a mistake. Not the entire world can be reduced to one or the other of these two…
Wait.
1/ publishing evidence of the Clinton campaign actively undermining Sanders who was then the natural candidate of the Democrats according to their internal polls (including by using antisemitic slur) + actively boosting Trump campaign because “it’s the only one we can beat” is “throwing the US presidential election to the Republicans”? How this genuine, authenticated information of public interest, published in the New York Times and WaPo is throwing the US elections more than the facts that were being reported?
2/ “worked with Russian intelligence” is absolute nonsense. What is your source on that? The Muller report says the opposite. If anything it is possible (but not proven) that the source may have been from within Russian intel, but a) Assange mentioned several times -way before that episode- that the entire architecture of WL made it impossible for them to actually know their sources, and we have all reasons to believe that (as it would be the smartest thing to do) b) if any journalist gets documents that are authentic and of public interest, regardless of the source, their duty is to publish it. If a Russian intelligence source had provided fake, doctored or otherwise altered material, and they would have been published as such, it would have been a real scandal. In the facts we are still talking of ground-breaking journalism.
I still can’t figure that some people cannot realize that Hillary Clinton did all she could to actually lose this election on her own (this and a fundamentally fucked up electoral system), and are actually finding scapegoats like Assange to avoid looking at this reality in the eyes…
Well it does to some extent, because maybe they’re just the tip of a wider problem, an easy target that lets conveniently 90+% of the hyper-sugar products, super-highly addictive and harmful, available to children…?
wonder how much of this “energy” comes from cafeine and such compared to how much actually comes from plain’ol deadly addictive sugar…

You and I remembered different things about these emails. I asked if we really had to source and quote them to find out who is right and who is wrong.
There is no “horror” in DNC emails. just evidence of crass corruption and cynicism from Clinton’s campaign.
So wait, are you saying there is nothing significant in the Podesta emails… while at the same time the would have “made Trump elected”? :)
Some of the substance of the emails summarized here: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/10/us/politics/hillary-clinton-emails-wikileaks.html
But again that’s only the bits i personally remember from (reading) the emails.
All I said is:
To other fantasy claims that “WL had the GOP emails too but decided not to published them lol” i replied “haha wait what?!” and was presented with meak links about “GOP got ‘hacked’ period” with no trace of email being transmitted to whoever.
Now please go on barking about my nickname, changing topic or whatever.
