Judith Grossman: A Mother, a Feminist, Aghast
Wall Street Journal ^ | April 17, 2013 | JUDITH E. GROSSMAN

Posted on 04/17/2013 9:00:13 AM PDT by BlueStateRightist

I am a feminist. I have marched at the barricades, subscribed to Ms. magazine, and knocked on many a door in support of progressive candidates committed to women's rights. Until a month ago, I would have expressed unqualified support for Title IX and for the Violence Against Women Act.

But that was before my son, a senior at a small liberal-arts college in New England, was charged—by an ex-girlfriend—with alleged acts of "nonconsensual sex" that supposedly occurred during the course of their relationship a few years earlier.

you need to stop using terms like NWO which people have already identified as conspiracy theory nut(rightly or wrongly). Just pick a new term or focus rhetorical attacks on the specific and identifiable symptoms.

That is the only way you can kill whatever it is you see anyway.

“These safeguards of due process have, by order of the federal government, been replaced by what is known as “a preponderance of the evidence.” What this means, in plain English, is that all my son’s accuser needed to establish before a campus tribunal is that the allegations were “more likely than not” to have occurred by a margin of proof that can be as slim as 50.1% to 49.9%.”

So the Federal employees in black robes have finally lost track of the original meaning and propose of the Due process of law clauses of the U.S. Constitution.

This is what happens when you assign an entirely new and completely different meaning to it. But i suppose they had to hijack some line of text to be rewritten into their unlimited grant of power.

Sadly we now no longer have due process of law.

I hear ya! According to the libtard screed we have no more control over when and where we poke our peckers than a dog in heat.

This is the stuff from communist and nazi show trials against their enemies. Well we know what the universities are prepping the soulless youth for the ultimate next stage in the rise of the totaltitalitarian state and to roll out there next in line judges and prosecutors for the kangaroo courts. Where witnessing it in real time.

you need to stop using terms like NWO which people have already identified as conspiracy theory nut(rightly or wrongly). Just pick a new term or focus rhetorical attacks on the specific and identifiable symptoms.

Focusing on identifiable symptoms - and refusing to identify the root cause - is exactly what has been happening for over a century. It has never worked, nor will it ever work.

There are those who a) have head in sand, b) those who are unaware, c) those who are aware, and d) those who while not completely aware are trying to improve their understanding.

nwo is simply a convenient shorthand since a) nwo uses the term themselves and b) nwo has various segments in it's total organization, including the foundation system, international banking, those working inside government, central banking, universities, news media, etc. To use the term banking by itself, and focus on it alone, for example, is to fall woefully short of describing an organization that, while perhaps smallish at the top and in its ultimate goal, is nonetheless very large in its true scope and strategies.

An example of what is utterly fruitless: to complain about a "left-leaning" educational system and try to "fix" it, without taking into account the key well-endowed foundations that guide its leaders.

Granted, it is very difficult to fathom and accept too much shocking information all in one sitting. This is why one should a) research with an open mind and yet confident knowledge that no matter how bad things are there is still a God in heaven who will not abandon his own, b) prepare oneself to have one's ideas of history turned upside down, c) wade through and put aside or discard any claims that are not black and white and simple, and d) be patient and go slowly, but keep going, until you get the basic ideas on the big "moving parts" of the picture.

That's really all one needs to know. At the end of the day, how it affects individuals is that they know they should be heading their investments towards companies privately-held either by them or a group of people they know; pay off their debts to big banks and never go back, try to increase their grassroots media and education Influence in their town, State, etc. (the wealthier you are the better), to counter the influence of nwo; be wary and verify (and try to clue in) everyone you deal with financially, politically, etc.

God willing, we'll see a lot of this and we can kick out nwo and take back our nation.

If nwo is identified and pursued publically, legally, etc., by enough people, it will eventually lose. But it will win if we keep insisting that it has successfully hidden itself inside its own self-generated conspiracy smokescreen.

I’m not at all convinced that such a vast conspiracy exist.

I do know that there exist ideological in all of these industries who act generally to promote common ideological goals and that this ideological coordination does indeed have effect you seem to have identified.

I also know that for the better part of a century the communist left have put together and worked to implement general broad plans by encouraging its supporters to infiltrate specific and key industries in our civilization in-order to implement specified changes that they believe will lead to a population predisposed to accept their evil ideology.

But this is not so much a conspiracy as a well laid out inter-generational plan by socialist to advance our population towards socialism.
As far as addressing this, coronation if you want to attack a system as opposed to each of the individual efforts you must find its critical points and attack them. As far as creating a label for the complete system whether its NWO will just prompt the operators of this system(in this case leftist) to change the name and claim their running something else.

The only critical point in the Marxist inter-generational strategy that I can see is their commutations & ideological messaging among members. If we could infiltrate their social groups we could plant a number of ideological suggestions to push their members towards taking positions we can more easily defeat, or that will actually backfire on them.

This is the only way I know of taking down a large system such as you described and it does not involve making it’s existence popularly known.

Judith seems to have problems with strong women. She wants women to be weak and passive.

Remember, it's payback time for all those centuries of patriarchal oppression!

Food for thought...

Do you know the list of Wall Street finance leaders who supplied funding to the Bolshevik revolution ?

I could go on and on a write a list a mile long of subjects for you to research.

But if you just look at the list and don’t do the research - it’s such a big list of subjects that I’m suggesting are related that even I at first thought it was NUTS.

Perhaps if I keep it real simple.

Say I’m fabulously wealthy and you are interested in marrying my daughter, and you’re a real go-getter in business. I clue you in that I’m tied into a ring of billionaires that has the freeking governments of the world by the short hairs. I tell you 2 rules: don’t short the money in our account (no hand in till) and don’t ever say a word to anyone about anything. Do things right, and you’re fabulously rich. Cross us, and it’s curtains. Say you’re into geology. I start you out with a job in you-some-whereistan at a big oil exploration firm. I send you to Harvard for International Law, Monopoly Finance and Geopolitical Scamming. Soon, you’re moving up the ladder, you’re made a director of this and that company; you get brought into “sideline” businesses; say drugs and political activities. Now when I say drugs, I don’t mean little baggies, I mean international shipping worth hundreds of millions wholesale. Your hands are kept clean, you just run the front companies. Other group members come to you with other “chores”; start a “geology foundation”, serve as “energy minister” in a “communist” country. You and your wife can live there as part of the elite class. What a life. All you have to do is what your “buddies” need. Maybe some funding, maybe wine and dine the President and get him caught up with an embarassing situation. Then from there on, you’re one of the guys who gets el Presidente to sign whatever the “group” needs.

Normal people don’t think this way. They’d be too scared or make a mistake. Perhaps not ruthless enough, or not able to keep the books straight.

The UK monarch (the Queen right now) has the politicians “form a government” for her. If they’re all unhappy, they can “form” another one. So they are not all forced to obey the Queen on issues like abortion, loud music and hate speech. The government “governs”; the Queen stays above it all.

To nwo, the last thing they want to be is the government - they want no one to know who they are. They’re just a car scooting by or a jet flying over. It’s far better to be the guy who has a whole stable full of Presidential “advisors”, some in the US, some in China, some in Russia, some in Europe, etc. The advisors all really work for you - they know that. But they advise el Presidentes and your name is hardly ever mentioned, except perhaps socially, on how wonderful that gala was for the new Foundation for the Arts you endowed. You are the financial “guru” of international trade. You can show the Russians one set of books, the Americans another - only you have your real set of books. You help both sides. Well, you help one side, your brother helps the other. You live in New York, he lives in Moscow.

Now when you die - you’re in a financial fantastic situation - what a gift for one or more people (but not too many, so the wealth stays concentrated). Either your kids, junior partners, whatever, somebody simply takes the reins and continues on with “the plan”. No wonder your minions worked so well for you all along; same terms: those who did well are fabulously rewarded, those who made the wrong move committed suicide by jumping out of their office window, after smashing up the place. Maybe the were drunk and fell off a yacht and were never seen again.

The only fly in your ointment is those pesky Americans who don’t like to be openly enslaved. For them, you have to tempt them into living stupidly and enslaving themselves to you and actually thinking they are enjoying it.
