AOC as a plant totally works. Think this out:
First, she is obviously not cabal. She sucks up media attention and undermines the Democratic leadership. By the "identity politics" standard that they've promulgated for the hoi polloi, they can't attack her since she is: 1) young, 2) female, and 3) "non-white". But many of the things she says are ridiculous, and almost all of them serve to undermine the cabal.
Now think about the difference between her and Bernie. Bernie got screwed by the DNC, but he was trapped by their SJW logic (which is ALL a tool of the cabal) and couldn't fight back. He had to "recognize his privilege" as an "old white guy" and couldn't go full throttle. That is part of his problem, but he is also a socialist true believer and socialism doesn't work. But he is RIGHT that corrupt powers are in charge and they screw the masses. AOC can salvage some elements that are right in the true-believing left-wing agenda and repackage them so they survive the destruction of the Demorcrats.
First, she is against the "financialization" of modern life. This is the prime tool by which the cabal maintains control. "Capitalism" is all well and good when people are producing and selling real products, but when it is simply a word that hides financial manipulation by hidden elites, it means nothing. Many Americans organize their entire lives around trying to keep various financial metrics in good standing, but they don't realize that all of these things are ultimately manipulated by powers behind the scenes. Once they are locked into this system, they are easily controllable, and cannot voice a dissenting opinion lest their family suffer permanent consequences.
Second, she is for "environmentalism and sustainability". Now obviously her "Green New Deal" was ridiculous, and these words have a bad connotation to some and rightly so. The cabal has pushed the idea of "environmentalism" as involving the need for international organizations to monitor how much water you use when you take a shit, and so on. It is all a tool for totalitarianism. But putting that all aside, NOT polluting the earth and NOT polluting our bodies is a GOOD thing, and it is really the cabal that is doing the polluting.
I would now not be the least bit surprised if she comes out and tells the truth, endorses Trump, and wins reelection.
