CNN sets up a fully controlled audience panel to promote pro-establishment candidates using Bernie Sanders progressive agenda

 An example of advanced psy-ops by the corporate media

As we wrote recently, the moment where the crowd inside the Fox ultra-right nest enthusiastically cheers in favor of a government-run healthcare system, could actually be considered a historical moment, thanks to Bernie Sanders.

The moment clearly depicts and officially marks the end of controlled audiences in controlled MSM environments. It shows that the well-paid MSM pundits and their producers are finding increasingly difficult to set up the scene according to the desirable agenda. Therefore, audience reactions can't be directed, or predicted in many cases by the MSM 'experts'.

Now, here is an example showing a successful set up through a controlled audience. It took place inside CNN and there is plenty of evidence that was indeed carefully set up. In the following video, Mike Figueredo of the Humanist Report felt optimistic, but also quite frustrated at the same time. Figueredo's reaction came out from a rather paradoxical position of the six voters that were shaping this panel.

In short, the big contradiction here, comes out from the fact that almost everything these people say essentially depicts 100% the rhetoric and the progressive agenda of Bernie Sanders. Yet, when the CNN host asks them to choose a candidate for the 2020 presidency, Bernie Sanders is barely mentioned! In fact, the closest you can get to the real progressive Democrats from their answers, is Elizabeth Warren! The rest are all 100% pro-establishment.


It's almost unbelievable the fact that the name of Bernie Sanders was mentioned only once. And finally, no one of the six voters ended up to mention him as the most preferable candidate. This is a good sign that this panel was completely set up.

Figueredo points out that these are people who were well-intentioned. They are not bad people, even if what they said is seemingly contradictory and even absurd. And he is probably right. Yet, still, that doesn't mean that this panel wasn't completely and carefully set up. Let us explain.

First of all, the small number of people in this panel is a very convenient parameter. A small group is much easier to be handled if something 'goes wrong'.

Second, and most important, it seems that these people were carefully 'picked-up'. Among millions of voters, you can easily find people with preferable views by setting, for example, a questionnaire with the appropriate combination of questions.

So, you now have a progressive agenda, which is very popular and very hard to debunk. Yet, you can find voters who believe that pro-establishment candidates are real progressives and will implement that agenda.

In fact, this is a quite clever type of psychological operation because it takes advantage of unsuspecting, ordinary people - who may indeed have good intentions - to drive moderate, or undecided voters, back to the neoliberal center. That is, away from 'crazy Socialists' like Bernie Sanders.

Furthermore, there is another, perhaps more impressive outcome you can derive from this example. That the establishment has a favourite among its options. The winner in this informal debate is Kamala Harris with three votes. Second, is Joe Biden with two votes. And the last option - and apparently more risky for the establishment - is Elizabeth Warren, who stands somewhere inside the 'Twilight Zone' between the real progressives and the corporate Democrats.

So, here is another strong indication that this panel was carefully set up. Not only to make Bernie Sanders disappear from the list of the most popular politicians, but even to put establishment's most preferable candidates in the desirable order.

The final conclusion is that such a set up panel is not representative of the real picture. We saw this also in many manufactured polls according to which, Joe Biden beats Bernie Sanders. Therefore, we wouldn't rush to express our big disappointment, like Mike Figueredo did in this video, when he said "we're doomed!"

Trump's tariffs: A unique opportunity for BRICS and the Global South to fully escape from dollar tyranny

globinfo freexchange   Does Trump know what he is doing? Well, yes and no. While many interpretate his latest move, mostly as an attempt to halt China, his main goal is to give the final blow to the neoliberal order on behalf of his oligarchs .  From this perspective, Trump's unprecedented decision to decide mass tariffs against almost everyone, was an act of strategic hit against the global free market neoliberalism, with the financial capital  at its top. And that's because this dominant-for-almost-half-century system, identifies restrictions and protectionism as major threats against its own existence. In other words, Trump acted as a commander of the capitalist faction that wants to beat its neoliberal rivals and put itself in charge, through a new transformation of capitalism into a 21st century corporate feudalism.   Concerning China, Trump's move may have some negative impact on its economy for a while, since China has chosen to partially play by the rule...

Deranged euroclowns want to revive a nazi-origin project!

globinfo freexchange   Behind the ridiculously cartoonish latest spot of the EU that gives "instructions" to the European citizens on how to deal with a major crisis during the first hours, lies a secret desire.    The deranged euroclowns of the crypto-fascist extreme center , are trying to build up a condition of consent inside the minds of Europeans, which is related to their biggest wet dream: an autonomous imperialist European army. The idea was not born suddenly because of Trump's hostile attitude against his own allies. From the early 50s, pan-European networks of neo-Nazis were created. In May 1951, the European Social Movement (MSE) was founded in Malmö, Sweden. Essentially, it was about projecting the ideology of the German SRP on a pan-European level. The MSE, which would remain active until the 1980s, proclaimed the need for Europe to emancipate itself from the divisive tutelage of the USA and the USSR, called for the defense of the “European race” against th...

Netanyahu BRAGS About Genocide - And Our Media COVERS IT UP

by Nate Bear   Part 3 - Cruel Britannia   The UK is moving ahead with large welfare cuts for disabled people, including those with cancer. On TV the other day, the UK’s health secretary Wes Streeting said that people with cancer should be in work, not at home resting. Alongside this, the government has said that to cut youth employment it will push young people to join the army. This, of course, is in the context of a massive expenditure on military weapons in the face of the Russian bogeyman.   What’s happening in the UK under a nominally centre-left Labour government is a good reminder that there is never a lesser evil if your leaders are neoliberals. Balancing the books on the backs of the poorest and most vulnerable in society is the north star of all neoliberals, whether they call themselves centrists, left wing or right wing. Cruelty is the policy and the point.    Yet the last few years have also been a good reminder that everything is a choice. Cov...

UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese: World is watching a live genocide in Gaza and doing nothing

The New Arab   As Israel’s war on Gaza enters its 19th month, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese is sounding the alarm louder than ever: the world is watching a live genocide — and doing nothing to stop it. In an exclusive interview with The New Arab , Albanese describes the devastation in Gaza as unparalleled since WWII. Entire neighbourhoods lie in ruins, tens of thousands are dead, and 91% of Gaza’s population is at risk of malnutrition. Over 60,000 children show signs of cognitive impairment due to starvation.  “This is not just war. This is genocide in real time,” she says. “What we are seeing now is the destruction of a people who refuse to leave.” Despite UN mandates and international law, Albanese says the global system is paralysed, and governments, corporations, and even universities are complicit. “If Palestine were a crime scene, it would bear all our fingerprints.”

US Official EXPOSES Truth About Gaza From The Inside

by Nate Bear   Part 2 - The genocide resumes   The day before the Wiz deal, Israel resumed its genocide of Gaza with an unhinged bloodthirsty rampage, the deadliest twenty-four hours in the last nearly eighteen months of genocide. A high bar had been set, and it was cleared. They attacked at night, itself an act of utter cowardice and sadism, and slaughtered hundreds as they slept in tents. In tents. Close to one hundred babies and young children were killed. The overall death toll exceeds 400 and is rising. As expected, there is not a flicker of condemnation from world leaders, many of whom are arming Israel with the weapons and intelligence it needs for genocide. The British air force spent the ceasefire period gathering intelligence on Palestinians and feeding it to Israel so they could restart the mass murder efficiently.  The genocide is the end of the west. It destroys any claim to moral superiority over Russia, China, Iran or any of the officially designated bad g...
