Re- whether Uretsky was a "plant," WARNING! [View all]

This could also be about "Rather-izing" the Sanders campaign.

Ratherizing Bernie would be a perfect solution for TPTB, since part of his message is that the system is "rigged" against the 99%. Ratherizing him could undermine ALL his messages – as in, even if you respect his integrity, are you sure he isn't just paranoid, or mistaken?

Granted, all the paranoia in the world seems justified here, but. I'm not sure it's necessary to jump to conclusions, esp. when they might be difficult to prove and all the records are in the hands of the opposition.

But we DO need to PRESS HARD for a TRULY INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION --- ASAP!!!
