Andrea Shea King writes in a March 5 WorldNetDaily article:
The latest activity by Wikileaks dumped some 5 million emails and documents hacked from the database of Stratfor Intelligence. The emails reveal Democrats’ effort to steal the 2008 election.
Shocking revelations from a Wikileaks document dump show the Democrat Party committed a felony when it stuffed ballot boxes in Ohio and Philadelphia during the 2008 presidential election.
A memo further revealed that the so-called “Reverend” Jesse Jackson was paid a handsome figure to keep his mouth shut about candidate Obama, a man for whom he had little regard.
The same internal memo revealed that Obama’s campaign was taking Russian money surreptitiously.
In fact, those Stratfor emails revealed nothing of the sort. All they contained were anonymous, never-proven claims that even Stratfor did not consider worth publicizing.
As Talking Points Memo notes, the Stratfor emails mostly reveal the type of anti-Democratic rumor-mongering Stratfor traded in. TPM's Josh Marshall adds: "It confirms what every reporter on an intel beat (and a lot of other beats too) learns pretty quickly: the almost inexhaustible supply of show-boater, liars and sociopaths who will keep coming up with new made up stories to tell you to hold on to your attention."
Interestingly, WND had a partnership with Stratfor in 2001 and 2002, in which WND published daily items based on Stratfor work and promoted Stratfor memberships. Newsmax has also published Stratfor-sourced material.
