Betty Friedan: "Mommy" was a Commie
November 19, 2018
I reprise this key 2003 essay as a reminder of how
Communists use deceit to subvert society. Their
appeals to "social justice" and "equality" are a con game.
Their real goal is to get rich by selling out the people.
Nancy Pelosi is worth $100 million. Bernie Sanders: $2 million
Obamas -- $135 million. The Clintons -- $240 Million
Communism is Cabalist Judaism which is Satanism.
We have all been inducted into this satanic cult.
We are under occult attack.

"Comrades, you will remember the ancient tale of the capture of Troy ... The attacking army was unable to achieve victory until, with the aid of the famous Trojan Horse, it managed to penetrate to the very heart of the enemy camp."
--George Dimitrov, Comintern General Secretary, August, 1935.
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
Betty Friedan, the "founder of modern feminism" pretended to be a typical 1950's American housewife who had a "revelation" that women like her were exploited and should seek independence and self-fulfilment in a career.
What Friedan (nee: Betty Naomi Goldstein) didn't say is that she had been a Communist propagandist since her student days at Smith College (1938-1942) and that the destruction of the family has always been central to the Communist Jewish plan for world tyranny.
Friedan dropped out of grad school to become a reporter for a Communist news service. From 1946 -1952 she worked for the newspaper of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, (UE) "the largest Communist-led institution of any kind in the United States." In 1947, Congress targeted the UE as a Communist front and its membership began a steady decline.
Daniel Horowitz, a History Professor at Smith with impeccable Liberal and Feminist credentials documents all this in his book, Betty Friedan and the Making of the Feminine Mystique: The American Left, the Cold War and Modern Feminism (University of Massachusetts Press 1999). Horowitz cites a union member who described how a Communist minority "seized control of the UE national office, the executive board, the paid-staff, the union newspaper and some district councils and locals."
Betty Frieden doesn't want anyone to know her radical antecedents. Throughout her career, she said she had no interest in the condition of women before her "revelation." She refused to cooperate with Professor Horowitz and accused him of "Red-baiting."
Why? Because her book "The Feminist Mystique" (1963) would not have sold over five million copies if her subversive background were known.
Communists operate by subterfuge -- pretending to be just like us. This is the "Popular Front" strategy that consisted of starting idealistic movements in order to ensnare well-meaning people, usually students, workers, women, artists or intellectuals. The membership was ignorant that their organization was funded and controlled by people with a totally different agenda. This is also the principle behind Freemasonry, Zionism and Communism itself. Essentially the adherents are dupes.
Willi Munzenberg, an early confidante of Lenin, organized the Popular Fronts in the 1920's and 1930's and referred to them as "my innocents' clubs". He pioneered the protest march, the demonstration, the radical bookstore and publication, the arts festival, and the recruitment of celebrities ("fellow travellers," "useful idiots")
In the words of historian Stephen Koch, Munzenberg, left, "was amazingly successful at mobilizing the intelligentsia of the West on behalf of a moralistic set of political attitudes responsive to Soviet needs. In the process, he organized and defined the 'enlightened' moral agenda of his era." (Double Lives: Spies and Writers in the Secret Soviet War of Ideas Against the West, New York, 1994, p.14.)
In a 1989 interview, Babette Gross, the wife of Willy Munstenberg, described the Popular Front modus operandi:
"You do not endorse Stalin. You do not call yourself a Communist. You do not call upon people to support the Soviets. Never. You claim to be an independent-minded idealist. You don't really understand politics but you claim the little guy is getting a lousy break." (Koch, p. 220)
Friedan observed this principle when she helped start second-wave Feminism, which is a classic "Popular Front." The very name, "the woman's movement" and claim to be for "equality" are but a smokescreen for a diabolical crusade to destroy the institution of the family. For example, feminist professor Alison Jagger calls the nuclear family "a cornerstone of women's oppression: it enforces women's dependence on men, it enforces heterosexuality and it imposes the prevailing masculine and feminine character structures on the next generation." ("Feminist Politics and Human Nature," 1988)
The "Congress of American Women," a Popular Front organization founded in 1946 reached a membership of 250,000. It was disbanded in 1950 after being required to register as a "foreign agent" by the U.S. Government. Feminist historian Ruth Rosen writes that the "CAW's agenda prefigured much of the modern women's movement that emerged in the sixties." (Ruth Rosen, The World Split Open: How the Modern Women's Movement Changed America, New York, 2000, p.28.)
The FBI kept tabs on the "Women's movement" but found no direct connection with Soviet subversion. Ruth Rosen, herself a veteran, finds this ironic.
(Husband-Carl revealed that Betty was never a real housewife but a pill-popping psychopath.)
"Ironically, the FBI searched for signs of subversion in the Women's movement but couldn't recognize what was truly dangerous. While they looked for Communists and bombs, the women's movement was shattering traditional ideas about work, customs, education, sexuality, and the family. Ultimately the movement would prove far more revolutionary than the FBI could ever imagine. Feminism would leave a legacy of disorientation, debate and disagreement, create cultural chaos and social change for millions of men and women, and, in the process, help ignite the culture wars that would polarize American society. But at the time these ideas were not what the FBI considered subversive." (260)
By attacking the social fabric, feminists inflicted more damage to Western society than Communists ever dreamed. Domestic violence hysteria has driven a wedge between men and women. Women have been psychologically neutered. They are encouraged to pursue sex and career, not family. The US birth rate has plummeted from 3.9 children per woman in 1960 to 1.9 today, the lowest level in history. [Replacement is 2.1] The marriage rate has declined by 1/3 while the divorce rate has doubled since 1960. Forty per cent of all first-born US children are conceived or born out of wedlock.
The feminist Trojan Horse has proven extremely effective. The question is why? How could a sick subversive philosophy that openly pits women against men have been able to succeed?
The disconcerting answer is that monopoly capitalists are behind both Communism and Feminism and use them to undermine the political and cultural institutions of Western Civilization.
Rockefeller-Rothschild cartels own most of the world and naturally assume they should control it too. They own most of our politicians, media and educators. Their goal is a "new world order" (a.k.a. "globalization") in which they remake mankind to fit their nefarious ends.
Betty Friedan, take a bow.

re. Left Con Games
One of the most outrageous efforts by the left, to gaslight humanity, is their use of the term "gun control."
In our innocence, when the left talks about "gun control," we think that is what they actually talking about.
It's not. They want us to think they want gun control. They allow the right to push back with the standard line that, "... guns don't kill people, people do."
So the right is gaslighted into pushing an argument, that the police
need a nationwide psychological database on who can buy a gun.
The left is actually crooning for the creation of a fascist police state, based on a national database of the political and psychological profile of every citizen.
Otherwise, the theory that "guns don't kill people, but people do" won't amount to a hill of beans.
We are being gaslighted. The term "gun control." It's really referring to the creation of a fascist police state, that will eventually have to be based on psychological profiles of every citizen.

I have so many cherished friends who cannot accept the truth of this.
There is nowt so blind as doesn't want to see.

The ghost of Munzenberg lives on at liberal arts college campuses everywhere. When you know his history, it's creepy to know he was a psychopath with a 1960's American sit com comedic face. One of his routine jobs was fingering 'fellow travelers' he'd recruited if they became 'disloyal'. He ended out of favor himself and was found hung in a forest in France by hunters in 1940. Probably killed by an NKVD assassin.
With a face like that, though, if he'd stayed in Hollywood he would have ended up a producer, making mainstream movies. Of course that wouldn't have lasted either -what with the 'witch hunt' of The House Un-American Activities Committee, and the Hollywood Blacklist of 1947. But these days he'd be a billionaire media mogul.

Political Idealism is what divides family, starts wars, and leads the masses astray.
This large wave of support that is coming from young voters for Bernie Sanders don't have a clue who he really is and they don't care to know either.They also don't understand that this "revolution" he is talking about is aimed at them.
Yes, a lot of your Communist leaders were also duped themselves into believing this rouge ideology only to find out that they were being used as shills for a bigger picture and plan that they were not privy to. I think Martin Luther King may have figured that one out before he was murdered.
No one ever said that the Communist Jews were stupid on the ways of this world and how to play the vulnerable who are in it.

In its original meaning, gaslighting was when a normal sane person was tricked into thinking they are now insane. (The original movie ...)
In this new use, we keep the meaning but we reverse the flow ... the communist form of gaslighting means tricking a population that is now morally insane, into thinking that they are the new definition of normal ... they might even be tricked into thinking they are morally superior. (ANTIFA for example.)
Leave the word "mind control" with its usual meaning, i.e. tricking an entire population into becoming morally insane. For example, abortion and divorce become the new definition of normal. (Both are abuse of women -- another topic.)
We get the one-two punch.
First the Illuminati uses "mind control" to trick our youth populations into becoming morally insane. Let's leave that meaning as it is. It's important to have a word for that specific form of treachery..
Then we use the word "gaslighting" in its fullest meaning. It now also means a form of treachery, more evil than mind control, whereby a morally insane population is tricked into thinking that they are the new definition of sane, safe and normal.
Mind control has been used successfully by the Illuminati to make our populations morally insane, especially our youth populations.
Our youth populations are now being gaslighted into thinking that they are now the new definition of sane, safe and normal.
We need a word that describes exactly this new form of treachery.
