Rift forms between AOC and Bernie Sanders on campaign trail
The Washington Examiner ^ | 12 FEB 2020 | Anthony Leonardi

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and the leader of "the Squad" are reportedly not seeing eye to eye on the campaign trail.

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is reportedly frustrating the Sanders campaign during her appearances at the socialist's campaign rallies. While Sanders was occupied in the Senate during the impeachment trial of President Trump, AOC subbed in for him. However, she did not mention the candidate by name during a January rally, though she endorsed him last October.

Vanity Fair reported that Sanders's campaign manager, Faiz Shakir, expressed his frustration to AOC's campaign manager over texts, saying her immigration stances were too extreme. “Organizing is about tipping people off if you start to see that ICE and CBP are in communities, to try and keep people safe," she said at an Iowa rally. “I’m not here to reform some of these systems when we talk about immigration. I’m here because Sen. Sanders has actually committed to breaking up ICE and CBP. That’s why I’m here," she added.

This is a pretty short article, the essence of which is, "You're making us look too extreme!"

I find it pretty rich that Sanders considers AOC's socialist/communist policy outlook more extreme than the members of his campaign who want to put us in gulags for re-education. The Angry Old Fool sees himself as the second coming of Stalin, for God's sake!

...only if he wins. I’m quite sure that AOC is his kind of woman - a dedicated commie/socialist (like there’s a real difference).

She wants to kill all the Kulaks immediately, while Bernie wants to focus on the first 5 year plan of reconstruction before conducting widespread land seizures and liquidation of all landlords.

We’ve seen this debate before.

‘Some in the Sanders campaign were reportedly frustrated by AOC’s comments discouraging cooperation with federal authorities, saying they were off-track of Sanders’s stance, which opposes “open borders.”’

Here’s how “opposed” he is:

https://berniesanders.com/issues/welcoming-and-safe-america-all/:

Repeal 8 U.S. Code Section 1325, putting border crossings on par with other forms of immigration violations, such as overstaying a visa. [...]

Virtually eliminate immigrant detention by requiring a “presumption of release” standard for determining detention, and ensuring that a past criminal conviction cannot be the sole deciding factor in detention.

Disinformation / Dezinformatsiya:

During the Cold War, the Soviet Union engaged in massive strategic deception against the United States - the “Main Enemy” (Glavny Protivnik). This effort, known as the Shelepin Plan, spread disinformation about Soviet military capabilities on a massive scale in an effort to prevent military confrontation with the West.

Notably, Shelepin contributed to the late 1950’s “missile gap” wherein the United States overestimated the Soviets’ number of available ballistic missiles by orders of magnitude.

For the marshals it was obvious that the basis for the power of the Soviet Union should be classical heavy weapons: tanks, self-propelled artillery, heavy bombers, a large surface fleet. For Shelepin, the basis of the communist offensive to the West was the State Security Committee: the army had to play an auxiliary and sometimes even decorative role.

Shelepin’s speech in May 1959 at a conference of senior KGB officers was, in Golitsyn’s exposition: “ the newly created department of disinformation should work in close interaction with the party-state apparatus.

All party leaders, beginning with the first secretaries of the republican communist parties, must provide the KGB with all-round assistance...” After the conference, a number of reorganizations were carried out in the KGB.

The counterintelligence department was expanded, whose tasks now included “influence”, disinformation, as well as recruitment of agents from among foreign embassies, foreign public and cultural figures, scientists, as well as from the “internal” intelligentsia, including the scientific and religious.

Under Putin, the past and present members of the Disinformation / Dezinformatsiya, now work for the NY Slimes, Compost,ABCNNBCBS, FB and other internet sites, pumping fake news 24/7.
