FEMINISM: ON THE MARCH
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
In Conspiracy Nation Volume 8 Number 35 was mentioned how the
|
|
Women's Christian Temperance Movement (WCTU) and its offshoots
|
|
were not so much a populist women's movement as they were the
|
|
hired army of families such as the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the
|
|
Warburgs, and the Rockefellers. Purpose: to agitate and vote in
|
|
the 18th Amendment and consequent Prohibition during the "roaring
|
|
twenties". Prohibition, in turn, had as its purpose the
|
|
strengthening of gang structures and passive acceptance of
|
|
gangsters into the society.
|
|
|
|
Of course, the women's movement did not arise out of a vacuum,
|
|
as, for example, Andrea Pearson has argued. There has been
|
|
injustice against women -- though not to the hyperbolized extent
|
|
it is portrayed night after night in television docudramas. (See
|
|
CN 3.66, 3.69, 3.70, and 3.72 for Pearson's argument: "Feminism:
|
|
Mask for Marxism".)
|
|
|
|
An aftermath of the so-called "60s Rebellion" was the modern
|
|
womyn's movement, so overly familiar to attendees of university
|
|
literature classes. Yet we are beginning to see more and more
|
|
how much of what was perceived as "rebellion" during the 1960s
|
|
was not quite what it seemed. For example the introduction of
|
|
LSD into the popular culture of the time may well have been CIA
|
|
inspired. So too, Sherman Skolnick has pointed to so-called
|
|
"radicals" of the 1960s, such as Rennie Davis, as not being the
|
|
free agents they were supposed to be. Even "radical" Bill
|
|
Clinton, "anti-war protester", turns out to have been an agent of
|
|
the CIA.
|
|
|
|
Dave Emory, the west coast researcher into "deep politics", has
|
|
definitely linked portions of the modern (post 1960s) womyn's
|
|
movement to the CIA. For example, in his lecture series, "Gloria
|
|
in Excelsis", he explores just who *is* Gloria Steinem, guru-ess
|
|
to oppressed ivory tower females and such.
|
|
|
|
Kind-hearted Sherman Skolnick, however, apparently differs as to
|
|
a nefarious underground pushing a secret agenda with the help of
|
|
well-intentioned feminist dupes. When I met with him and Joseph
|
|
Andreuccetti in April of 1995, I broached the likelihood of a
|
|
feminist conspiracy operating within the womyn's movement.
|
|
Skolnick didn't think so. However Andreuccetti said, yes, it
|
|
seemed likely that the womyn's movement *would* be an obvious
|
|
place to look for the machinations of a secret society.
|
|
|
|
So why is it that the feminist movement is highly favored by the
|
|
mass media? It is almost a given that anything so supported and
|
|
propagandized by the establishment press *must* be in cahoots
|
|
with the dominant classes. Corporate America's public relations
|
|
shill, the mass media, makes it obvious who is who by negative
|
|
distortions of some groups (conspiratologists, for instance)
|
|
versus positive slants on others. In the case of feminists and
|
|
the constituent bloc they loudly claim to speak for, the slant is
|
|
so extreme it is grotesque: the evil male in one corner versus
|
|
"sugar and spice" in the other. Thank goodness there are plenty
|
|
of tough cops in television land to save these "damsels in
|
|
distress"!
|
|
|
|
According to an item in the July 8, 1996 issue of the New
|
|
Federalist newspaper, current earnings of U.S. workers buy half
|
|
of what they used to. Says New Federalist, "...workers now have
|
|
less than 50 percent of the buying power they had in the
|
|
mid-1960s." By a strange "coincidence", the two-income household
|
|
has become increasingly common since that time. As buying power
|
|
got cut in half, wives began to leave their homemaker jobs for
|
|
outside employment. This societal phenomena was sold as
|
|
"liberation of women from household drudgery." But what was
|
|
really going on was that women, *from* *dire* *necessity*, were
|
|
forced to seek extra income for their families.
|
|
|
|
Or, maybe it worked the other way around: women increasingly
|
|
decided to work outside the home, that in turn doubled the
|
|
available labor pool, and wages consequently declined. It's
|
|
supply and demand: if the available supply of workers is
|
|
doubled, the price of labor goes down -- in this case it has been
|
|
effectively cut in half.
|
|
|
|
But what to do with idle labor, now increasingly frustrated in
|
|
its search for fair wages and worthwhile employment? All those
|
|
idle workers hanging around could spell trouble for the ruling
|
|
class. Due to strong anti-war sentiment, the younger male
|
|
population can't just be thrown away as cannon fodder, for "noble
|
|
causes", like in the old days.
|
|
|
|
What can be done? Criminalize them: get "tough on crime"; lock
|
|
them away. Disarm them. Turn them into dopers. Give them AIDS.
|
|
Feed them cultural crapola via mass media that keeps them stupid.
|
|
Demoralize them with "Big Lie" techniques, such as telling them
|
|
"the economy is good."
|
|
|
|
Then, when the men are mostly ground down, the all-powerful State
|
|
can turn its attention to the now less-protected women. You
|
|
thought your old man was bad news? Find out why Nietzche called
|
|
the State, "the coldest of all cold monsters."
