"Various CIA projects [included the] backing of a group [creating] wall posters attributed to fictitious groups, leaflet campaigns, and public heckling. ... Poster distribution and sign-painting teams... leaflets [and] picture books [were spread]. ...
"The propaganda projects probably had a substantial cumulative effect over these years ... in helping to polarize public opinion...
"The CIA supported an anti-communist women's group active in Chilean political and intellectual life."
1975, Church Committee, 'Covert Action in Chile: 1963-1973', pp. 14-15, 18-19, 22. Sounds like the foundations and NGOs are doing what the CIA once did. |
The primary purpose of this oversight is to demonstrate that the entire international feminist and LGBTQ obsession of the media and politics, especially since the Obama years, actually is heavily financed by superclass elites and its countless "liberal CIA" foundations: Soros, Buffett, Ford, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Gates, etc. In particular, we are talking here about so-called "grassroots" action groups regularly staging "independent" protests to demand for "social change". It's all stage-play. The organizers and many of the core participants always are tied in with international NGOs and political parties, with whole armies of antifa anarchists and communists being coordinated by the European Union and Soros' Open Society Foundations. The U.S. has its own structures.
In a way, elites backing these type of movements is nothing new. Planned Parenthood, a key NGO for feminist causes until the present day, was founded in 1921 and maintained in the early decades through the efforts of key Eastern Establishment (Pilgrims Society) families as Morgan, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Warbug-Rothschild, Vanderbilt, Schiff and others. This was fine, and even beneficial, until the late 20th century, when these networks started to take an ever more extreme character, with women being put up against men, the destruction of traditional (and very necessary) gender roles in society, and now possibly even the total destruction of the whole concept of "gender". Politics, the media, NGOs and Hollywood actors are all playing a very key role in this agenda.
Initially it wasn't worth getting into, but now that so many company managers, government employees and even ordinary citizens are drinking the (extremist) feminist and LGBTQ - i.e. "gender communist" - kool-aid, it might not be bad to include a few chapters on this page with scientific numbers that demonstrate the obvious, namely that there are most certainly considerable evolutionary, emotional differences between men and women. And that these are being ignored and exploited by the superclass, in no small part to artifically separate large voter-blocks (women, gays, transgenders, etc.) and turn them away from (equally managed) anti-Third World immgration "populist" thought.
You bet that elites have studied these numbers and know exactly how to pressure and appeal to the emotion of women. They pay attention to all the numbers: first the polls and then how to sway all these polls into their favor by manipulating the population along threat-based, gender and ethnic lines. 1% perfect can make all the difference; that's how politics works.
THE NUMBERS
We're not all "equal"
How does that popular mantra go? "We're all equal!" It sounds nice, and most people still assume it's true without thinking about it - but we're not. It's a lie. Ignoring skin color, races around the world are not "equal" in genetic IQ, crime numbers, physical traits, technological achievement, culture, etc. Similarly, men and women are not "equal". They have very different physical and even emotional traits. Fact is, two members of both the same species and gender aren't even "equal". There will always be differences in IQ, height, dick size, fast twitch muscle percentage, or inherited wealth.
Hence, maybe it's about time to shelve the "equality" mantra. The more one thinks about it, the sillier it sounds. Maybe when we're all flying high on LSD, then we're all "equal", but down here on planet Earth, Darwin rules. We can aspire to be nice to each other and treat each other honorable as far as possible on this planet with its limited space and resources, but that's about it.
For the love of God (and Darwin), see the "equality" mantra in perspective. And recognize that it is being used as propaganda.
Emotional differences between men and women
The following oversight is based on a course at Rotterdam University (realistically a college) related to "violence" that I took in 2010. I picked the course simply because I was lazy and late with picking one - and this was one of the handful left. I actually hoped to learn something about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) / Multiple Personality Disorder (DID) in relation to ISGP's Beyond the Dutroux Affair article, because the course largely dealt with violence against children. No such luck, but already at the time - well before any "social justice awareness" - I remember being struck that the differences between male and female violence were so clearly spelled out. Despite being extremely recognizable, it already was something that you would never see in the media at that point. One wonders if this course even survived in later years. However, these teachings were based on mainstream psychology. Here's an easy-to-grasp oversight of those teachings:
Below is an oversight from a 2011 study from Canada that focused on mapping the differences in emotional make up of men and women. I reorganized the row and added some extra numbers and percentages to make these differences much easier to grasp:
The graphs below come from the same study as above, and are based on the same data, but now analyzed by age. The oversight shows a number of remarkable (yet recognizable) differences and evolutions for the two genders:
The data also revealed a difference between Asian and white people in terms of traits as compassion and volatility. The study didn't go into much detail on this issue, however, so we'll leave that be.
Obviously, as all the references in the full study above alone make clear, there is much more data to be found. This is all the time available for now though.

- womensmarch.com/partners/ (accessed: April 16, 2018): "Girl Rising..."
- Group was found by ISGP after looking up visitors of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). Actress Freida Pinto, known from movies as Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), visited the the Clinton Global Initiative in 2015 as an ambasador of Girl Rising. A little additional checking revealed that Girl Rising was involved in protests against Donald Trump. Financing for Girl Rising comes from many of the usual suspects, many of them represented at the CGI (Cisco, Ford Foundation, Goldman Sachs, Unilever, Microsoft, Google, Brookings Institution, etc.)
- Girl Rising is not not focused on general western feminism, but rather in globalist feminism, putting huge emphasis on open borders to the Third World and feminism for people in Third World countries.
- clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global-initiative/meetings/annual-meetings/2015/speakers (accessed: April 11, 2018): "Freida Pinto: ... Pinto is a Global Ambassador and producer for Girl Rising India, and a Global Ambassador for Plan International."

- January 23, 2017, JustJared.com, 'Freida Pinto's Friend Sat on Her Shoulders at Women's March!'.
- April 13, 2017, NY Post, 'Freida Pinto became besties with Michelle Obama and Meryl Streep': "Freida Pinto [is] playing Jas Mitra, the lead in his new, politically charged series "Guerrilla"... The six-part Showtime series [is] about a young woman who joins an underground cell to protest racism in early 1970s London...
The India-born actress supports Girl Rising, an education and empowerment concern, and traveled to Morocco and Liberia with Michelle Obama and Meryl Streep to meet young women overcoming incredible odds. That journey was captured in the 2016 CNN documentary "We Will Rise: Michelle Obama's Mission to Educate Girls Around the World." ...
"[In the movie] something happens at the rally that shakes them up when their friend Julian [Nicholas Pinnock] is wrongly framed by the cops. They need to make an example of someone because he’s outspoken." ... Together, they form a cell dead set on destroying the Black Power Desk, a counter-intelligence unit within the Special Branch whose sole purpose was to rout out black activism.
Although the events in this series happened more than 40 years ago, the issues discussed couldn’t be timelier, given the antipathy toward immigrants both in the US and Brexit-embracing England." - February 15, 2017, IndianExpress.com, 'Women's protest march in US wasn’t only against Trump, but also injustice: Freida Pinto': "Thousands of women across the US came together for a peaceful protest march on the day Donald Trump swore in as the 45th US President.
India-born internationally acclaimed actress Freida Pinto says the peaceful protest march on Donald Trump’s swearing in ceremony as the 45th US President, was not against him only but was a culmination of what many men, women, and children were feeling against widespread injustice in the country. ...
Trump has earned the ire of people from all quarters after his controversial executive order to temporarily bar entry into the US to refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations. ...
Freida says that nobody has the right to stop people from legally going anywhere. ... "If they are immigrants, they shouldn't be banned from legally going to any place where they could possible have or start leading a better life. Even for LGBT communities, your rights can not be taken away from you... So it was really a march to protest against all these injustices as opposed to one person that we were trying to protest against," added the actress..."
- Feminist group also concerned with "race and class equality" that was founded in 2001 Haitian social worker Joanne Smith, through Open Society Institute (Soros) sponsorship:
- nyf.org/speakers/joanne-n-smith/ (accessed: July 14, 2018): "Girls for Gender Equity, Founder and Executive Director: ... Ms. Smith is a Haitian-American social worker born in New York City. She founded GGE in 2001 with the support of the Open Society Foundation to end gender-based violence and promote gender, race and class equality."

- Information on financing was removed from the website about two months after Girls for Gender Equality director Tarana Burke started the super-prominent #metoo movement in the wake of the sexual abuse scandals of Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who happens to be a long-time party boy of George Soros and other people in the David Rockefeller sphere, most notably Blackstone Group founder Peter Peterson.

- Tarana Burke, Senior Director of Programs." - October 20, 2017, New York Times, 'The Woman Who Created #MeToo Long Before Hashtags': "Days earlier, amid the allegations against Mr. Weinstein, the actress Rose McGowan, who is among those accusing him of sexual harassment, was briefly locked out from her Twitter account, where she had been vocally speaking out against sexual harassment in Hollywood.
The following day, women online participated in a daylong boycott of Twitter, organized around the hashtag #WomenBoycottTwitter. Ms. Milano joined the boycott. ... When Ms. Milano [subsequently] tweeted out the #metoo hashtag without crediting Ms. [Tarana] Burke, some noted that black women had again been left out of the story. ...
Ms. Milano, who said she had been unaware of Ms. Burke's campaign, moved to correct the problem. She reached out to Ms. Burke two days after she sent out the #metoo tweet and is hoping to collaborate. "She has been very grateful and gracious," Ms. Burke said. On Thursday, Ms. Milano went on "Good Morning America," where she publicly credited Ms. Burke for her Me Too campaign. ... Ms. Burke created the "Me Too" campaign in 2007. ...
Black, Latino and other women of color started their own campaign. April Reign, a digital media strategist and the woman behind the #OscarSoWhite hashtag, began to organize people around the #WOCAffirmation or women of color affirmation."

- lwv.org/history (accessed: February 2, 2017): "The League of Women Voters was founded by Carrie Chapman Catt in 1920..."
- Immediately before the 2016 Trump-Clinton election the League of Women Voters effectively blocked three states from implementing a measure in which citizens had to prove they were prove they actually are citizens:
- September 10, 2016, Reuters, 'Appeals Court blocks Kansas, Alabama, Georgia on voter ID rule': "A U.S. Court of Appeals on Friday blocked an effort by Alabama, Georgia and Kansas for voters to furnish proof of citizenship when registering at the polls, which opponents say disenfranchises voters, especially minorities.
The decision effectively strikes down a rule that requires voters in the three states to provide proof they are United States citizens. Elsewhere, voters only need swear that they are citizens in order to cast a ballot.
"With just weeks to go before a critical presidential election, we are grateful to the court of appeals for stopping this thinly veiled discrimination in its tracks," Chris Carson, president of the League of Women Voters, which had sued to block the new requirements, said in a statement.
Conservatives in Republican-controlled states have moved to tighten voter identification rules ahead of the Nov. 8 election.
Supporters say tougher rules help prevent fraud, but in-person voter impersonation on election day is virtually non-existent, a 2012 study at Arizona State University showed. Opponents, mostly Democrats, say the rules discriminate against minorities.
Seven percent of Americans do not have proof of U.S. citizenship such as a birth certificate, according to the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law.
The Appeals Court of the District of Columbia said the League of Women Voters had shown there would be irreparable harm if the rule was permitted, and had also shown it was likely to win the case on its merits."

- Founded in 1921 as the American Birth Control League (ABCL) by Morgan, Carnegie and Rockefeller favorite Margaret Sanger. In 1923 the ABCL founded the first legal birth control clinic, the Clinical Research Bureau (CRB). After having served as president of the ABCL from 1921-1928, Sanger was forced out by the board. However, Sanger took the CRB with her, along with key financiers. The ABCL eventually died a quiet death.
Sanger renamed her now spun off CRB the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau. Her financial patrons helped the Bureau through the great depression and in 1939 became the Birth Control Federation of America - which in 1942 was renamed to Planned Parenthood Foundation of America.- 2005, Vicki Cox, 'Margaret Sanger', pp. 73, 80-84: "[Margaret Sanger] admitted knowing racial labor leaders, including Emma Goldman. But she struck back saying, "I also know Mrs. Andrew Carnegie and Mr. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. ..." ...
Sanger planned another conference, the Geneva Population Conference, for August 31, 1927. It was a mammoth undertaking. She flitted around Europe... She brought in scientists and academics from around the world to study population growth, funding the gathering with grants from J. D. Rockefeller, other wealthy benefactors, and, of course, Slee.
A shock awaited Sanger on their return to New York. The American Birth Control League's Board of Directors wanted Sanger to have less control of the organization. ... The directors took over much of Sanger's power... Fed up, Sanger resigned as president on June 12, 1928. ... The board ... underestimated Sanger's importance to the organization. Along with Sanger, J. Noah Slee resigned as the League's treasurer and chief benefactor. ... The League was never financially sound again. Sanger, however, refused to give up control of the Birth Control Clinical Research Bureau [of the League]. ... Remarkably, the Bureau was scarcely affected by the Great Depression. Sanger's contacts with the Rockefellers, J.P. Morgan, and, of course, J. Noah Slee kept it afloat.

- From the very beginning Planned Parenthood was backed by Eastern Establishment money, most notably by the Morgan, Rockefeller and Carnegie family. Early trustees include Carola Warburg Rothschild, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Mrs. John M. Schiff (of the Baker family, who were key Morgan partners), Mrs. Thomas W. Lamont Jr. (key J.P. Morgan partner) and Mrs. Thomas S. Lamont (also a key J.P. Morgan partner). Others involved include (additional) Pilgrims Society members William H. Draper Jr. (special international consultant and vice chair), Alfred Ogden (trustee) and Alexis Coudert (director for 25 years). In addition, the Du Pont family has been extremely prominent in Planned Parenthood.

- Founded in January 2017 to coincide with the Donald Trump presidential inauguration. While originally meant to be a protest group against sexism and anti-abortionists (in light of the Trump election) founded in January 2017 right before the inauguration of Donald Trump, the Women's March (on Washington) came to include groups revolving around transgenders (Transgender Law Center, National Center for Transgender Equality), global warming (because Trump doesn't want to acknowledge the issue), rent-a-skeptics (American Atheists, Center for Inquiry, etc.; to counter the Christian conservative influence on Trump), guns (New Yorkers Against Gun Violence), and pro-Third World immigration (for Trump's stance against unrestrained Third World immigration).
- The Women's March and partner groups also established international protests.
- A huge amount of partner groups participating in the Women's March are backed by the major Eastern Establishment foundations. We're not just talking about the Open Society Foundations of George Soros (which receives the most attention by far), but also the Ford Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, MacArthur Foundation, Packard Foundation and even media corporations as CNN, CBS, ABC and others. All feminist groups listed here are financed by these elements and also belonged to the Women's March.

- Russian feminist protest punk rock group (antifa), founded in August 2011 in Moscow. Grew out of a political protest/performance art collective named Voina ("War"). The group staged unauthorized performances around town, singing about feminism, LGBTQ rights, and in opposition to Putin and the Orthodox Catholic church he is allied with. All in all it has about a dozen members.
- The three leading members of the group - Nadezhda Tolokonnikova (Nadya Tolokno, the most famous and attractive; married to Pussy Riot co-founder Peter Verzilov), Maria Alyokhina, Yekaterina Samutsevich - were arrested in March 2012 for public hooliganism. Samutsevich was released in October 2012. The former two only in December 2013.

INDIVIDUALS
- Person with an Armenian-sounding name that was behind the April 23, 2018 Toronto Van Attack. This type of attack had recently been employed by radical Muslims, among those linked to ISIS. However, it was quickly reported by the Canadian authorities that Minassian didn't have a (Muslim) terrorist motive and that it appeared he was just a mentally deficient loner.
- Back in early 2017, this author already indicated that 4Chan forum members, who started the Pizzagate "affair", appear to constitute an ultraright controlled opposition action group. Next thing we know, throughout 2017, Soros-associate and "liberal CIA" anti-Trump activist Shia LaBeouf, was involved in an international "capture the flag" battle, with various 4Chan members posting fascist propaganda. And here in April 2018 we have Alek Minassian talking about 4chan and a "Incel Rebellion" ("Involuntary Celibate" Rebellion) right before his terrorist attack on 25 individuals, mostly women. Considering the international liberal elite-backed feminist war, this incident should be labeled a highly curious event.
- In addition, literally the week before, a lawyer purposely burned himself to death in an environmental protest. Thinking this was odd, this author checked if this lawyer had received Soros or related "liberal CIA" funding. He had, through his employer Lambda Legal. Coincidences keep stacking up.
- Update: Minassian was a student at the Seneca School of Computer Studies and and a team member at its Centre for Development of Open Technology (CDOT). The "inclusive" and "diverse" Senaca College is partnered with the Mozilla Foundation, in turn financed by foundations as MacArthur, Ford, Knight and others.
- cdot.senecacollege.ca/documents/CDOT-handout.pdf (accessed: May 5, 2018): "Seneca has a significant partnership with the Mozilla project, creators of the popular Firefox web browser. The Mozilla Foundation and Corporation have provided financial support including funding an educational liaison position at Seneca, supporting numerous funded research and academic projects, and sponsoring FSOSS."
- September 17, 2014, OpenSource.com, 'Seneca College realizes value of open source': "The relationship with Mozilla [since 2005] opened the doors for CDOT to contribute to large-scale projects."
- April 24, 2018, Buzzfeed, 'Toronto Van Attack Suspect Alek Minassian Praised An Anti-Women Community On Facebook; Authorities say the 25-year-old plowed through crowds on one of the busiest streets in Toronto, killing at least 10 people and injuring another 15.' (mostly women; tried to get the police to shoot him): "A Facebook profile for the suspect, deleted shortly after the attack, included a post written Monday with anti-women references.
[Screenshot of Facebook message:] "Alek Minassian. 2 hrs. Private (Recruit) Minassian Infantry 000010, wishing to speak to Sgt 4chan please. C23249161. The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger! [killed 6 people at UCSB after writing an anti-women manifesto]"
In the hours after the attack, an unverified Facebook profile for the suspect emerged with a post referencing the anonymous online forum 4chan, which is often the source of online hate and hoaxes. A Facebook employee speaking on background confirmed to BuzzFeed News that the since-removed profile for the suspect was authentic. ...
Reddit banned the Incel ["involuntary celibate"] community from its website last year after updating its policy to ban glorification and incitement of violence. The chat board frequently advocated for sexual violence and hate against women. ...
Minassian spent two months in late 2017 as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces, the National Defence confirmed on Tuesday.

- Thaddeus Russell on the Joe Rogan Experience:
- September 23, 2014, Thaddeus Russell on the Joe Rogan Experience: Complaining that colleges are completely liberal and irrational feminism. Also talking about U.S. imperialism. Also: "There's [the] White Savior Complex. Remember Kony 2012? That's like the greatest example of that. Yeah, well, for good reason [it vanished quickly]. That's like the greatest example of that. A really awesome writer named Teju Cole ... talked about Kony 2012 a and the White savior complex. A lot of my work is on this. It's mostly white people. All elite people. Who take it upon themselves to save their social inferiors, right? And they want to go out and find them, first of all. Find these poor, sad people in the world, wherever they are. Whether it's in the ghetto in Compton, or Rwanda, or wherever, and go save them and change their lives. Uplift them and make them more like us. It's the psychological and cultural core of imperialism and to me it has lead to the deaths of millions of people. ... There's also this very arrogant, paternalistic impulse that a lot of people have, in particular white people. But certainly elite people. I know, I hate white people. I'm glad you are with me on this." This is a strange interpretation. Kony 2012 was nothing more than U.S. government-backed propaganda, as is so much of the propaganda to intervene in other countries. But it's just that: propaganda. At least Teju Cole made that point near the bottom of his article.
- March 21, 2012, Teju Cole in The Atlantic, 'The White-Savior Industrial Complex' (Teju Cole's tweets also made it to the New York Times): "Success for Kony 2012 would mean increased militarization of the anti-democratic Yoweri Museveni government, which has been in power in Uganda since 1986 and has played a major role in the world's deadliest ongoing conflict, the war in the Congo. But those whom privilege allows to deny constellational thinking would enjoy ignoring this fact. There are other troubling connections, not least of them being that Museveni appears to be a U.S. proxy in its shadowy battles against militants in Sudan and, especially, in Somalia."
- September 23, 2014, Thaddeus Russell on the Joe Rogan Experience, 1:10:00: "There was this crazy, repressive culture, and Americans lived in it. ... Good Americans - meaning white people - do that: they don't fuck, and they work. That also kinda extended to dancing. ... It was terrible to dance in American culture to dance - if you were a white person.Leisure was bad. ... Then along come these people from another place, West Africa, where none of these ideas existed. The Protestant work ethic? What are you talking about? ... They also believed in moving your body as a good thing, a beautiful thing. To them, moving it in sensual ways, dancing and otherwise, [was fine]. They didn't believe sex outside marriages was wicked. ... They thought women who had sex outside of marriage were fine, that it was no problem. ... They come over here as slaves. ... They had no intention of adapting this insane, oppressive culture that white people were all about. ... So they developed their own... this African-American culture... Jazz. ... White people never could have developed such a thing."
- April 27, 2017, Thaddeus Russell on the Joe Rogan Experience: "
[Russell:] "Woman" is an invention; it's a social construct. ... What much of the transmovement now is doing, what makes me so sad, is that "I am naturally, biologically, in my core, a woman." No! No one is! The whole point of this movement used to be you can choose to be a gender. Or you can chose not to be a gender. ... They're making these abstractions real again. They're making these claims that are similar to Sam Harris' claims, and to old racist claims, to old sexist claims that if you are born a particular way, biologically, this is who you are. ...
[Joe Rogan:] You're losing me in a huge way. You don't think you are born a man? No? Why are you a man? For all sorts of reasons? None of them being the XY chromosome ... you have testicals [and] a penis... you naturally gravitate towards male activities as boxing, kickboxing? ...
[Russell:] There are certain inventions, certain social constructs, that do nothing but bad things. ... And they're only social constructs, like race and gender. ... With race, the same thing happens with sickle-cell anemia. This is what everybody invokes when they claim race is real. Only black people get sickle-cell anemia. Well, guess what, the numbers there are about the same as the number of men who are infertile. Why then are people with sickle-cell anemia definitely black? ... Are there any two females who are identical? No. There are no two organisms that are identical. ..." - October 19, 2010, Huffington Post, 'Why I Got Fired From Teaching American History': "I was raised by pot-smoking, nudist, socialist revolutionaries as an egghead white boy in black neighborhoods in Berkeley and Oakland. I nearly flunked eighth grade and finished high school with a C average. Then I went to the anarchist, ultra-hippy Antioch College in Ohio, which accepted all their applicants, didn’t give grades, and didn’t have a history department.
So even though I managed to pull myself out of that background and into and through Columbia for a PhD, then onto a job at an elite college, I was highly uncomfortable moving from the world of weed to the world of tweed. I hated being "Professor." I cursed in class. I talked about sex. I used politically incorrect terms. My students said they had never heard the things I was teaching them in class. They called me "Bad Thad."
I showed them that during the American Revolution drunkards, laggards, prostitutes, and pirates pioneered many of the freedoms and pleasures we now cherish — including non-marital sex, interracial socializing, dancing, shopping, divorce, and the weekend — and that the Founding Fathers, in the name of democracy, opposed them. I argued not only that many white Americans envied slaves but also that they did so for good reason, since slave culture offered many liberating alternatives to the highly repressive, work-obsessed, anti-sex culture of the early United States. I demonstrated that prostitutes, not feminists, won virtually all the freedoms that were denied to women but are now taken for granted. By tracing the path of immigrants from arrival as “primitives” to assimilation as “civilized” citizens, I explained that white people lost their rhythm by becoming good Americans. I presented evidence that without organized crime, we might not have jazz, Hollywood, Las Vegas, legal alcohol, birth control, or gay rights, since only gangsters were willing to support those projects when respectable America shunned them. ...
College students are normally taught a history that is the story of struggles between capitalists and workers, whites and blacks, men and women. ...
Several distinguished professors from Columbia showed up, since the university has final say on all tenure decisions at its sister college, Barnard. [They were very hostile] ... Emails [soon] came into the hiring committee from “important places,” I was told, calling my ideas “improper,” “frightening,” and “dangerous.” They said my ideas had no place in the academy and insisted that I be terminated. ... After I was told that I would be leaving Barnard, hundreds of students protested in faculty and deans’ offices and the Columbia Spectator devoted an editorial to my case, but to no avail."
- September 23, 2014, Thaddeus Russell on the Joe Rogan Experience: Complaining that colleges are completely liberal and irrational feminism. Also talking about U.S. imperialism. Also: "There's [the] White Savior Complex. Remember Kony 2012? That's like the greatest example of that. Yeah, well, for good reason [it vanished quickly]. That's like the greatest example of that. A really awesome writer named Teju Cole ... talked about Kony 2012 a and the White savior complex. A lot of my work is on this. It's mostly white people. All elite people. Who take it upon themselves to save their social inferiors, right? And they want to go out and find them, first of all. Find these poor, sad people in the world, wherever they are. Whether it's in the ghetto in Compton, or Rwanda, or wherever, and go save them and change their lives. Uplift them and make them more like us. It's the psychological and cultural core of imperialism and to me it has lead to the deaths of millions of people. ... There's also this very arrogant, paternalistic impulse that a lot of people have, in particular white people. But certainly elite people. I know, I hate white people. I'm glad you are with me on this." This is a strange interpretation. Kony 2012 was nothing more than U.S. government-backed propaganda, as is so much of the propaganda to intervene in other countries. But it's just that: propaganda. At least Teju Cole made that point near the bottom of his article.
- Silverstein has ran the feminist website WomenInHollywood.com since it was founded in 2008. Major foundation financing is not immediately visible, but Silverstein does have a position at Columbia University's all-women Bernard College, a college that seems to put out an unusually high number of future prominent feminists. It should also be noted that Columbia University is one a handful of universities that is considered acceptable for a top government position (cabinet-level).

- Her Guardian biography left a few things out, however. Silverstein has been involved in a variety of elite-backed feminist groups:
- womenandhollywood.com/bio (accessed: April 6, 2010): "She has also worked on several high profile public education campaigns including Take Our Daughters to Work Day and the Pro Choice Public Education Project, and she [in 1998] was the founding project director for [Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, etc.-backed] The White House Project [with directors as white race baiter Abigail Disney, Arca Foundation executive director Anna Lefer Kuhn and Open Society Foundations (Soros) vice president Gara LaMarche] and prior to that was the chief of Staff at the Ms. Foundation for Women.

- Former anti-Vietnam War and anti-communist activist who was on the CIA (leadership's) payroll from 1958 until her exposure in 1962. After that developed/continued the usual Eastern Establishment ties and established herself as one of the premier feminist leaders by the 1970s. By the turn of the century she was advisory board chairman of the George Soros-backed feminist group Equality Now.
- Mother-in-law of actor Christian Bale - one of many pro-Third World immigration propagandists. Close feminist ally in Equality Now of Hollywood stars Meryl Streep and Marvel Avengers creator Joss Whedon.
- Born in 1934. Poor background, partly due to her mother's nervous breakdown at age 34 and the subsequent divorce from her husband. She graduated from Smith College, Mass., one of the nation's largest liberal arts colleges for women (Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush went to it as well), in 1956. Graduated as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. 1956-1958 Steinem spent in India as a Chester Bowles Asian Fellow, where she was briefly associated with the Supreme Court of India as a Law Clerk to Mehr Chand Mahajan, then Chief Justice of India.
After returning to the U.S. in 1958, she served as director of the Independent Research Service, an organization funded in secret by a donor that turned out to be the CIA. Steinem was aware she was recruited and funded by the CIA. She worked to send non-Communist American students to the 1959 World Youth Festival.
In 1960, she was hired by Warren Publishing as the first employee of Help! magazine. In 1962 Esquire magazine features editor Clay Felker gave freelance writer Steinem what she later called her first "serious assignment" regarding contraception. That same year her CIA tie was exposed in the press, right while she was protesting the emerging Vietnam War at the Pentagon.
In 1963, while working on an article for Show magazine of Pilgrims Society member and the psychedelics-affiliated Huntington Hartford, Steinem was employed as a Playboy Bunny at the New York Playboy Club (the Playboy Foundation also became "liberal CIA" and psychedelics-affiliated) and soon wrote about the way Playboy Bunnies were exploited, often sexually.
Conducted an interview with John Lennon, the prominent ally of LSD guru Timothy Leary (who also was a visitor to Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion), for Cosmopolitan magazine in 1964.
Employed by New York magazine in 1968. In 1969, she covered an abortion speak-out for New York Magazine, which was held in a church basement in Greenwich, New York. She felt what she called a "big click" at the speak-out, and later said she didn't "begin my life as an active feminist" until that day. In 1969, she published an article, "After Black Power, Women's Liberation" which brought her to national fame as a feminist leader. - Gloria Steinem was deeply connected to the CIA in the 1958-1962 period, and really also the Rockefeller elite, much more than she led on in a 1963 interview about her CIA ties:
- Circa 1963, Gloria Steinem video interview part of the JFK Assassination Archives: "Interviewer: Gloria, at the festival you worked for the Independent Research Service. Exactly when did your own association with the CIA start and in what fashion? Did they come to you, or did you go to them?
GS: In 1958 when I came home from India I discussed with student leaders past and present, many of them acted with the National Student Association, this kind of small foundation to encourage Americans to go. They thought it was a good idea too. I was then told by foundations and professors and friends that I should not do this, that I would get in trouble with the House of American Activities Committee, the American Legion - all of those 50s people. And I became convinced that it was impossible. It was at that point that the student leaders said to me that they had in the past received funds for international programs from the CIA and felt that this was important and could also be funded by the CIA.
Interviewer: Did you feel that you really tried? Did you go around to all the wealthy private foundations, wealthy private people and explain your point of view and explain why you felt it was important that that the United States be represented at these things in a certain way? What did they tell you?
GS: They told me, well, the Ford Foundation for instance told me for instance, we were too liberal and too controversial and that we would endanger their cultural programs in Austria; the first festival was being held in Vienna. It was not encouraging at all, and the private individuals to whom I went, often had particular points of view to put forward, which would have been much much more restricting than the CIA funds were - which were free and no one was told what to say.
Interviewer: What do you mean they were free? It was easier to work with the CIA than a private organization?
GS: That's right. That's right. And the reason I think that comes as a surprise as it did to me at the time and I had the conventional liberal's view of the CIA as a right wing incendiary group and I was amazed to discover that this was far from the case. That they were enlightened, liberal, non-partisan activists of the sort twhohat characterized the Kennedy administration, for instance.
Interviewer: You have now been working for the CIA since 1962. You still criticize, you were down there recently in Washington?
GS: Yes. Yes. When the story broke that I had for four four years been a Central Intelligence agent I was demonstrating outside the Pentagon underneath Mr. McNamara's office against bombing in Vietnam. This did not precisely fit with the image of a CIA agent, but then, neither does the CIA." - 1992, Kai Bird, 'The Chairman: John J. McCloy and the Making of the American Establishment', pp. 483-484, 727: "In the summer of 1959, just before [top Rockefeller agent John] McCloy took his family for an extended trip to Europe, [CIA psychological warfare expert] C.D. Jackson wrote to remind McCloy that later that summer a World Youth Festival was scheduled to take place in Vienna. Jackson asked McCloy to contribute an article, perhaps on the "benign and constructive aspects" of the U.S. occupation of Germany. The piece would appear in a daily newspaper to be published in Vienna in conjunction with the festival. McCloy agreed, and the article was published (in five languages) in a newspaper distributed by a twenty-five-year-old Smith graduate named Gloria Steinem. ...
By the time Jackson first approached McCloy, in the autumn of 1958, he and Cord Meyer, head of the CIA's International Organizations Division (IO), had a plan. The Agency would provide discreet funding to an "informal group of activists" who would constitute themselves as an alternative American delegation to the festival. The CIA would not only pay their way but also assist them to distribute books and publish a newspaper in Vienna. Among other individuals, Jackson and Meyer hired Gloria Steinem to work with them. Steinem had recently returned from a two-year stint in India, where she had been a Chester Bowles Asian Fellow. ...
Convinced that a contingent of liberal but anticommunist American students should go to Vienna, [Steinem] heard through her contacts at the National Student Association that there might be funding available to finance American participation in the festival. Working through C.D. Jackson and Cord Meyer, Steinem then set up an organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts called the Independent Service for Information on the Vienna Youth Festival. She obtained tax-exempt status, and Jackson helped her raise contributions from various American corporations, including the American Express Company. But most of the money came from the CIA, to be managed by Jackson in a "special account." The entire operation cost in the range of $85,000, a not inconsiderable sum in those years. (Steinem's organization, later renamed the Independent Research Service, continued to receive support from the CIA through 1962, when it financed an American delegation to the Helsinki Youth Festival.) Steinem ended up working closely with Samuel S. Walker, Jr., vice-president of the CIA-funded Free Europe Committee. Because the Austrians did not want to be associated with the Free Europe Committee, the Agency set up a commercial front called the Publications Development Corporation (PDC). Walker was made president of this dummy corporation, funded in part by "a confidential one-year contract" worth $273,000 from the Free Europe Committee. His job was to supervise the book-and-newspaper operation at the Youth Festival."
