(62,325 posts)It's jbeen really interesting that the very strategy they discussed and settled on re how to handle Wikileaks, (and we saw it in action, right here in fact many times 'Wikileaks is not important, they have revealed nothing we didn't know already etc etc) even after it was revealed, is exactly what they are doing regarding themselves now.
See the Atlantic article linked above by S4P. Exactly the same strategy. It's actually fun to watch it all play out and the complicity of several different 'media' sources, as they play along. Look eg, at the title of the Atlantic article, meant for maximum 'dismissal':
Stratfor is a Joke and so is Wikileaks for taking it so seriously
The article doesn't even reach the standards of a first grade essay, no facts, no sources, just pure opinion. It reads more like the now jaded internet snark we see so often and generally pay little attention to.
You could skip the article if you like, it's almost predictable as we've seen it so many times now, applied to different subjects depending on how UNIMPORTANT (lol) they really are, it's just standard propaganda so it's kind of redundent now. But DON'T skip the comments! Lol, people aren't buying the propaganda the way they used to.
Stratfor got exposed, so even they have to run for cover themselves or have been told to as seen when they tried to confuse people re the emails.
They just look childish at this point. And so do their surrogates.
We read what we read which they never expected us to see. And no amount of obfuscation can change that.
