The memo articulated a three-point strategy. Point 1 called for forcing “all Republican candidates to lock themselves into extreme conservative positions that will hurt them in a general election.”At the time, there were more than a dozen Republican presidential candidates. The “variety of candidates is a positive here,” the Clinton campaign said.“Many of the lesser known can serve as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right,” the memo noted.“In this scenario, we don’t want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more ‘Pied Piper’ candidates who actually represent the mainstream of the Republican Party,” the Clinton campaign wrote.As examples of these “pied piper” candidates, the memo named Donald Trump — as well as Sen. Ted Cruz and Ben Carson).

Oh, I've been shaking my head for a while at this. You realize this is absolute bullshit, right, Adam? And you realize the reason for this, right? That a memo from april 2015 doesn't prove anything about autumn 2015, right? You do get how time works, right? You're not to dumb to get how time works, right?
Oh, and then there are all the details, how it doesn't say what Ben Norton says. But, like, a pretty easy one should be that april 2015 wasn't actually during the primary campaign, and time doesn't work like that.

those emails are old news but also even when they Leaked it was old news, because the clinton campaign obviously considered trump's primary performance a best-case scenario for themselves regardless of how much ratfucking they actually did (i don't think they needed, at least, to do any). this makes them idiots who will go down in history forever as idiots, but there's lots of those.
― difficult listening hour, Friday, 11 November 2016 22:42 (seven years ago) link
Trump also constantly talked up Bernie Sanders. Every candidate ever wants the most extreme candidate for the other side. That's normal. Anyone surprised to find an email like this is a complete idiot. Anyone who believes this email shows that the Clinton campaign 'intentionally created' Trump is an even bigger idiot, who doesn't understand how time works.

so i checked about how time works and april sounds like its before autumn right, so it was a plan for a thing before the thing, which sounds like time is running, uh, forwards?
that's the right way for time to run right, idk, i get mixed up

Actually, april is both before and after autumn, because the earth moves around the sun. And april is different from autumn, there are no days in april which are also in autumn, so documents from april doesn't prove what happened in autumn. Trust me on this, I've got a degree in history, ie. I am in fact a timelord.

Sorry in advance for being obtuse. I'll admit to not really paying attention to almost anything Wikileaks-related. It's just every time I try to sort this stuff out for myself, next thing I know my chin's on my chest. It is that boring to me. When I read news reports that cover their latest leaks or whatever, there never seems to be any material that shocks or interests me, other than a general "these leaks could compromise agents in the field".
Did anything actually important come out of the Stratfor, DNC, Vault 7, etc., beyond just fucking with the US government? And can someone give me some sort of tldr timeline of how they slid from "this might be the next pentagon papers" to "oh, fuck this guy". Was it just last year with the anti-Hillary stuff when he turned, or was there some shift before that?
― how's life, Wednesday, 17 May 2017 14:25 (seven years ago) link
Not sure about before but their twitter feed definitely started to show sighs of a merger with alt-right pov concurrent with the anti-HRC leaks (which were deliberately contextually misleading in a lot of cases)https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/2016/07/wikileaks-officially-lost-moral-high-ground/amp/
Some breakdown on the vault 7 stuff. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/03/23/wikileaks-permadrip-other-vault-7-documents/The entire purpose of those dumps seemed intended to provide the illusion of back up to Trump's tweets about Obama spying on him.
