Confessions of an Old Feminist
Where have all the feminists gone? Well, many of them are alive and well and are probably your mother, your aunt or in same cases even your grandmother. I was taken aback not long ago when my 26 year old niece posted something on her Myspace that Nick Rockefeller, while being interviewed by Aaron Russo (who has since passed on when he lost his life to cancer), said that his family's foundation had created and bankrolled the women's liberation movement in order to destroy the family and that population reduction was a fundamental aim of the global elite.
According to what she posted, and I am quoting, "In a later conversation, Rockefeller asked Russo what he thought women's liberation was about. Russo's response that he thought it was about the right to work and receive equal pay as men, just as they had won the right to vote, caused Rockefeller to laughingly retort, "You're an idiot! Let me tell you what that was about, we the Rockefellers funded that, we funded women's lib, we're the ones who got all of the newspapers and television - the Rockefeller Foundation."
Rockefeller told Russo of two primary reasons why the elite bankrolled women's lib: One before women's lib the bankers couldn't tax half the population and two because it allowed them to get children in school at an earlier age, enabling them to be indoctrinated into accepting the state as the primary family, breaking up the traditional family model.
This revelation dovetails previous admissions on behalf of feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem (pictured below) that the CIA bankrolled "Ms. Magazine" as part of the same agenda of breaking up traditional family models." (This I have paraphrased) Mr. Rockefeller also stated that Ms. Steinem was not what she proclaimed to be, but that she was really a CIA agent in the days she claimed to be a freelance writer.
What I have written below was partially my response to my niece because I just couldn't believe that after all my sister (her mother) and I and our generation did to try and bring about equality for women, this is what the current generation thinks feminism was all about. So I originally wrote most of this piece in response to my niece's blog, along with some choice words regarding Mr. Rockefeller, but I have updated and added to it for this topic as well.
The cry for equality for women has been around nearly as long as there have been women. In biblical times a young woman could be stoned to death for not leaving the required
