Okay dude :shrug:

Do you mean the class action lawsuit or the one that the Sanders campaign filed?

e: Seriously, you could do a victory lap or whatever if you want, or you could point me at the correct lawsuit, because there's at least 3 that got covered that I can see and tbh I'm not that interested and evidently neither is Bernie

conspiracy theorists are often the ones who end up getting played by actual conspiracies. studies further show that conspiracy theorists are more likely to engage in conspiracies, because it's how they interpret events in the world. a 9/11 truther is more likely to tell a researcher that they would have carried out a false-flag attack were they the president than people who don't believe in the 9/11 conspiracy theory.

(but does that make me a conspiracy theorist if i think the conspiracy theorists are engaged in conspiracies?)

So DNC is murdering people who reveal them.

Question is, why?
They are already revealed! There's no secret anymore... or ever was. Bodies only make things worse.

Considering they constantly pointed towards single emails without context.

See this email where one representitive answered to a journalist? They are totally in cahoots. See this term "I look forward working with you again"? It totally means they are in control. See this email about pizza? It actually means children, they are pedophiles.

Propaganda is about how information is applied, "misleading" or not. I'm not sure what Assange's goals were with Collateral Murder so I have no opinion about that, although omg he's a blatant Russian clearinghouse these days

uhhhh you skipped the very brief and simple points in my post, misread part of it then listed off coincidences with absolutely no value?

i said that when the washington post is actually owned by a corrupt businessman in bed with these people and they write about it once to tell the public it's a joke, that's bad, almost no major news is really covering it and i feel you've failed to address or even convince me that you've read the points on the dnc lawsuit

i'm not trying to be rude with anyone in this thread but i am convinced anyone posting that the dnc isn't covering up a failed business move that tried to force a president no one wanted is either trolling or just not even following the lawsuit at all

I don't address your points because any points that I make will be discounted.

You point to coverage downplaying the DNC lawsuit as evidence of a conspiracy. You point to the initial coverage as evidence of a conspiracy. There is nothing that I could say to convince you otherwise.

It is not the existence of coverage that is suspicious, it is the nature and qualities of the coverage itself.

If Seth Rich hacked the DNC and gave the results to Wikileaks why did a Russian hacker (or group of hackers) claim credit for it?

"As a man in a business suit and power tie eats 364 of their lunches, every one of their breakfasts, and every one of their dinners for that year." Is more accurate a representation of what the rich are doing, proportionally. I'd get into fractions on that one remaining lunch if I were greedy, but I'm not. I think my point has been made without it.

Because the dnc has shown itself time and time again to be untrustworthy, conniving and wholly uninterested in anything beyond maintaining wealth and power.

It's not that I believe the dnc murdered Seth Rich, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

And the Russia outrage they've manufactured has been a massive distraction for too many people and will neuter plenty of genuine criticism against both parties for years to come.

I'm confused why Seth Rich would identify himself to Assange while leaking the documents. It just seems like it would be stupid thing to do after what happened to Manning. I though the whole point of Wikileaks was for anonymous drop?
