The released emails uncovered that the presidential frontrunner was instrumental in spreading chaos and extremism in Libya. They also revealed that she pushed for oil privatization in Mexico and forwarded emails claiming a Sunni-Shiite war would be good for Israel and the West.
For those who are fascinated but dont have the time or inclination to sift through more than 30,000 documents, here is a snapshot of what Clintons emails revealed:

(3,111 posts)Because you know, according to Paul Ryan and apparently Bill Clinton, and I would assume Hillary Clinton too, we've all got to do something really quick to really cut that damn Medicare thing!
Wow, and people supporting Hillary don't see how we can get worked up over all these kinds of deals and sayings and actions that have already been proven to be detrimental to the working men and women of this country, where Donald Trump so far is largely full of hot air and sometimes Populist promises that sound better than what Democrats talk about.
It's a struggle of the pocketbook versus racism, and I would feel downright nasty except that I know from his heart, from his words, from his actions (even going to jail for it) that Bernie is cool on fighting racism, and will do as much or more than anyone else. And he will not fuck my pocketbook at the same time!

(34,845 posts)I have no reason to think these are fabrications but the headlining is hyperbolic and there is no context. It's sheer gasoline to pour on the 'bring down the leading candidate' brigade, of which Wikileaks and its Libertarian leanings are always happy to do.

(34,845 posts)Of course that was Assange's doing at the time but since he's another demigod to some here, I guess it's okay.

(5,761 posts)Attack the source and not the info contained is a Hillary supporter mantra these days.
The entire database is searchable, nobody else has done that. NOBODY.
wikileaks does not create these documents, they get them out there.
Again with attacking the source rather than the content.

(307 posts)Posts like these help bring the truth to light. We have been lied to for the past decade by our media. It is corrupt through and through. All these wars are about Empire and global dominance. They have nothing to do with democracy. They are about mass murder in order to plunder resources and enrich the minority elitists that rule over us. It is time to tear down the wall of propaganda and bullshit. The media is not liberal. They are right wing and owned by corporations that are intertwined with the most powerful thieves in the world. It is time to wake up.

If we didn't care the thousand times before something "devastating" has been released, we're never going to care.

(34,845 posts)All this time and energy spent trying to take down our front runner. It would be far more productive if we posted positive things about both candidates instead of trying to destroy one over the other.

(30,247 posts)At this point, Hillary dropping out of the campaign would be the only way that Sanders could become the nominee.
Democracy, what democracy? Any means justify the ends, right?

(10,164 posts)...and Failbook started censoring the links back to wikileaks.org. Most of the links in the OP go directly to Wikileaks.
JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)Why create an OP that bemoans Facebook behavior when that's not a paramount issue?
Is the goal to obscure events? To create the illusion of a conspiracy? Too ensure no one goes and looks at the other links?
This is why so many Bernie supporters fail in their attacks on Hillary. They can't focus.
They throw everything including the kitchen sink in to the attacks, and it becomes meaningless ranting.

(466 posts)This is beyond stupid. Even if Facebook was censoring this I'd certainly say they have that right. Facebook has the right to control what happens on Facebook servers. But I don't even understand the claim? I can't post the link "https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/" on Facebook.

(4,762 posts)A private corporation has no obligation to publish any given rant or conspiracy theory or smear or bit of idiocy. It isn't "censorship." It isn't even censorship if the television news or newspapers don't cover your favorite story.
Censorship is when a government prohibits free speech. You are free to say what you want to say.
Even if it's rightwing propaganda.
