New poll gives evidence that the establishment upgrades the identity-politics weapon to crush Bernie Sanders and his progressive movement


Another suspicious poll came out to promote various establishment options against Bernie Sanders. As the Hill reports:

President Trump trails Michelle Obama, Oprah and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) by double digits in potential 2020 presidential races, according to a new poll.

Trump also trails several other female candidates in potential races, although by slimmer margins, the Axios poll conducted by SurveyMonkey found.

The poll shows Trump trailing by 13 points to Obama among registered voters polled, by 12 points to Oprah and by 10 points to Harris. He's also down by 9 point to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) among registered voters surveyed, by 6 points to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and by 5 points to his 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton.

The closest race would be between Trump and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), the poll found. Warren has a 2-point lead among registered voters, according to the poll.

The poll includes only women from the Democratic camp that could beat Donald Trump. This provides a good evidence that a part of the establishment seeks to bring back identity politics in the electoral game.

It seems that some establishment mechanisms sense that Joe Biden wouldn't be capable to beat Bernie Sanders in the next Democratic primaries. As the establishment has absolutely nothing to offer to the ordinary people, apart from a 'business as usual' situation, the recruitment of highly recognizable female figures appears to be another trick to distract voters from the real political issues.

Furthermore, the poll appears to be carefully set up.

For example, two highly recognizable African-American women (Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey), are beating Trump with the highest percentage, while the woman who is closer to the progressive movement, Elizabeth Warren, beats him with the lowest (what a coincidence).

It seems here that we have an upgraded version of the identity-politics weapon. Guess what will happen to anyone who will insist to endorse, or vote Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primaries with a potential rival like Michelle Obama, or Oprah Winfrey. He will be immediately accused by the corporate media propaganda not only as a misogynist (like in the case of Hillary Clinton), but also as a racist. That is, double smear against the real progressives.

Just a reminder, Michelle Obama literally hugged the war criminal George W. Bush. The US president who started the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and spread chaos in the Middle East. The one who bailed-out the Wall Street mafia that was responsible for the 2008 financial disaster.



And some info about the website that carried out this latest poll: “Axios (stylized as AXIOS) is an American news and information website founded in 2016 by Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei, Politico's former chief White House correspondent, Mike Allen, and former Politico chief revenue officer, Roy Schwartz. The site's name is based on the Greek: ἄξιος (áxios), meaning "worthy". It officially launched in 2017. The company had raised $30 million, as of November 2017.

Spying on Iran: How MI6 infiltrated the IAEA

Leaked confidential files indicate the International Atomic Energy Agency was infiltrated by a veteran British spy who has claimed credit for sanctions on Iran.

But the document makes clear that Langman then “generated confidence” in that assessment among “European, US and Middle Eastern agencies” in order to “delay programme [sic] and pressurise Iran to negotiate.” The reference to “Middle Eastern agencies” strongly implied MI6 cooperation with Israel’s Mossad intelligence service. In April 2006, Tehran announced it had successfully enriched urani...
