CLINTON CAMPAIGN EMAIL OUTLINES EFFORT “TO PRODUCE AN UNAWARE AND COMPLIANT CITIZENRY”
A Clinton campaign email released as part of the Wikileaks data dump earlier today talks about the need to maintain political power by producing “an unaware and compliant citizenry”.
The email was sent to Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta by former Clinton administration official Bill Ivey on March 13, 2016.
Ivey was appointed Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts during Bill Clinton’s second term. According to his bio, Ivey “is a trustee of the Center for American Progress (a Clinton campaign front), and was a Team Leader in the Barack Obama presidential transition.”
In the email, Ivey outlines the panic amongst some Democrats that Donald Trump’s “celebrity politics” persona cannot be matched by Hillary, who is “not an entertainer, and not a celebrity in the Trump, Kardashian mold.”
“Money isn’t all that important if you can conflate entertainment with the electoral process. Trump masters TV, TV so-called news picks up and repeats and repeats to death this opinionated blowhard and his hairbrained ideas, free-floating discontent attaches to a seeming strongman and we’re off and running,” complains Ivey.
Ivey wonders how Clinton can combat Trump’s larger than life appeal, worrying that simply ‘defaulting to policy’ won’t work.
“And as I’ve mentioned, we’ve all been quite content to demean government, drop civics and in general conspire to produce an unaware and compliant citizenry,” he writes.

Pet,,,,so, you are recycling that old Alinsky stuff that had been debunked a gazillion times....he never said that and this has nothing to do with socialism. Sooner or later you will become interested in the truth and you might get really angry at whoever it feeding you this fake info that gives you such a distorted world view.
These emails that are mentioned also showed that Hillary was using Trump as a controlled opposition....basically he is working for her without realizing it. Just wondering what are Trumps plans to prevent rigged voting like there was in the primary???
