Breaking Bernie: 21st Century Rat-Fucking

[robertpaulsen]

25. Thanks for posting this info here, starroute.

I still haven't completely made up my own mind as I still feel a lot of what we should know has been hidden. But I expressed what I feel may be the most likely possibility in this part of my blog post:

"The larger question then is are these the genuine sentiments of quasi-anarchists or the underhanded machinations of agent provocateurs? Actually, it could be a combination of both: genuinely committed activists being manipulated by operatives with a vastly different agenda. The answer may lie in the quest that Deep Throat gave to Bob Woodward in All the President's Men: follow the money. Are there any powerful interests that stand to lose billions during a Sanders administration connected with Outside Agitators 206?"

Something about this group strikes me as being something different than what happened at Netroots Nation. Whether it's Merck, Amazon, or some other entity behind the scenes we haven't learned of yet, I am concerned about manipulation by some group willing to give these activists access and compensation to further more Bow Down Bernie Bullshit. And yes, I do believe there's some genuinely committed activists in that group. But if some are going to double down by smearing Symone Sanders (I haven't read what sabrina1 is referring to, but I plan on doing so to get the names of those who did) then I most certainly question whose interests they're really serving.

And yes, this is only the beginning. I believe we'll see more extreme tactics in the future.
