'Gloria Steinem's Passing: Demecracy, Trump and Where We are Now'

Gloria Steinem speaks onstage at the Ms. Foundation for Women 2017 Gloria Awards Gala & After Party at Capitale on May 3, 2017, in New York City.

We largely believe and take on faith that our government is a democracy and the constitution supports this. Gloria Steinem, feminist icon who died at 92-years old didn't agree. She said that until women were given equal opportunity and an equal place as human beings in this country, this was not a democratic nation. What we have seen in the last twenty years is an erosion of moving toward this concept with "glosses" like #metoo duping women into thinking they have a voice and power. MAGA women used #metoo to tar and feather men unjustly. So it did nothing to approach the underlying unequal power structures and institutions that are grossly inequitable and driven by money accumulation by a power elite.

If you look at the Lewis Powell memo, the "erosion" happened right when Roe v Wade happened. The news media didn't cover it widely and no organization thrust it before the American people as a warning. Without knowledge, the people perish; knowledge is light. The country coming out of the Civil Rights and Women's Rights movements in the 1960s and 1970s were blind to think culturally the nation was growing more toward the light of democracy. In fact, conservative groups dug in and became  more treacherous and duplicitous, despite Barry Goldwater's stance in getting former President Nixon to resign ahead of an impeachment and criminal trial.

 

 COMPLICITY  VIA INDECENCY AND DISHONOR

The concept of a two party system has been despoiled with complicity between both parties. Self-interest is their uniform goal which settles in their intent to screw the American people and reduce them to servitude and slavery in various degrees, while protesting they do the opposite.  Both parties take our tax dollars and do little for the majority of the nation...regarding infrastructure, boosting the economy, creating affordable housing, universal healthcare, sustainable climate practices, safeguarding the planet and environment and more.. Those "expert geniuses" who propound science and make it dance to their rhythms then lie about how they benefit life on Earth (Musk, Gates, CEOs of AI companies, Bill Gates, Peter Thiel), believe that it is easier to kill off the population and sustain the planet that way, then make hard changes to corporate profitability to correct the above. 
 
The branding of these men as "geniuses" speaks to their PR campaigns. If they were the bright lights they purport to be, they would have solved world hunger, world "disease," resource shortages, climate issues, etc. and we would be appreciating the planet in peace for the paradise it is regardless of population. There is enough for everyone, except pedophile elites who ARE NEVER SATISFIED. Peace never made a psychotic war monger pedophile any money or brought him (yes I dare to use this pronoun) happiness. Pedophile elites as a class should have their DNA studied; they are an inferior "race." They have equated making money with superiority. The opposite is true. 
 
It is megalomania to ignore that the destruction will fall on the pedophile elites as well. Who will make the decision to kill which pedophile oligarch first? They don't trust one another and the power and money race "to the top" is its own doom and is destroying them as I write this. The only thing they have to fear is their own stupidity and magical thinking that they can escape. Inner peace and joy and satisfaction with what they have financially is impossible. That camel and needle is accurate. (It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (a spiritual awakening of peace and joy).

Politics is all about corporate welfare and Americans funding the bills to an obscene disproportionate amount while the wealthy do not pay their proportionate amount, meaning fair share. The corporates screw us: 1)giving us horrid products that harm us; 2)getting govt grants from us to expand their screwing of us with bad products; 3)are not held accountable for breaking the law-human rights- for screwing us with bad products (food, meds, med devices, Data Centers' destructive use of land, water, air, rights etc.) Trump has made this  worse by removing prior regulations that attempted to safeguard us. He must be sued for breaching the safety of all Americans willingly, negligently, following corporate agendas for kick backs in a massive conflict of interest. All money made from his presidencies must be clawed back and put into the treasury/economy. The complicit corporations must be held to account as well as his cabinet and MAGA party, all on the grift.
 
The Pentagon's obscene corporate (Musk alone has many contracts that are conflicts of interest) budget must be held to account and corporate welfare malfeasance ended.
 
Built in to the elites' abuse of humanity are profiting off wars, genocides with religious propaganda justifications (abject lies demonizing Muslims/INDIGINEOUS PEOPLES and various scapegoats) for oil, land development, etc., The feedback loop serves to stoke the weapons and arms/defense industries and pentagon which has been grossly mismanaged intentionally for years while taxpayers can't afford their adulterated food and medicine bills. Enough; if elites were smarter, none of what is happening would be happening.  
 
What does it actually cost for families to have lovely shelter, clean food, emotional satisfaction, peace and enjoyment of each other? 
 
Equivalence! Dignity for human beings. A perspective that places the planet as a paradise and all who inhabit it worthy of it. Elites have enough wealth to share and create such a paradise. WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE IS INNER LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, VISION, INTELLIGENCE, SENSITIVITY, GOODWILL, IMAGINATION.
 
A mistaken assumption is that only government can bring about paradise and government means power structures run by "leaders and politicians."  Since millennia, governments have been failures run by flawed and inferior men. Women should be the predominant leaders and the effort should be decentralized. No one with obscene wealth should be in a leadership position. That disqualifies them because it promotes self-interest. The concept of wealth must be realigned to life benefiting for all; what benefits the individual and the group. Adam Smith was a loser. Read John Nash's principles about a successful society/economy.
 
THE WAY IT HAS BECOME BECAUSE MEN INFERIORS "LEAD" TOWARD DESTRUCTION

If anyone wants to be a politician in the US, they must join the HATE club to be approved...i.e. run the gauntlet of various perversions if they are male:  the old/young boys club of perversions-rape, pedophilia, adultery to keep them in line. Why?  politician must have something to rat out the other on. As for the women? They are agreeable pawns...to one degree or another putting a face on equal representation, but falling far short, since there are very few women in congress and the senate who lead. Consider how many women CEOs are in business, as their own entrepreneurs. Is the proportion of male to females in positions of power in state government equivalent? And often if and when women get there, they act like men, compromised, corrupt, complicit (i.e. Letitia James of NY).

Gloria, throughout her life, was clear spoken and clear minded. Equality and equal opportunity were her mantras. She pushed, but the corporate structure found their lackey politicians and pushed harder. Much has changed on the surface, but, nothing has changed substantially as the politicos are pushing back to pre Roe using religious hypocrisy. 
 
 The KKK males who are a large part of the child trafficking and porn industry and other white supremacists of the Southern criminal mafia need little girls  and babies to fuel it. They support brutality as macho...making them suspect of down low faggotism...homophobia. Their brutality as their need to prove their masculinity becomes  their raison d'etre and is suspect of down low gay misogyny. Their homicidal, perverse fear of queerness is evidence of their deep, repressed, same-sex attractions and lusts. 
 
 If they were sane, they would prove their masculinity by being sensitive, empathetic and kind. They are inferior. They are pedophiles and criminals, perversions of human decency. Reread the blue sentence about what these individuals "DON'T HAVE WITHIN." (LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, VISION, INTELLIGENCE, SENSITIVITY, GOODWILL, IMAGINATION).

Gloria knew the fight for true democracy with equality for all and equal opportunity and representation was still at the beginning...she knew that better than anyone. After all, the ERA has been passed, but not enacted. Biden tried...but was shouted down as infirm, while a dementia-ridden, psychotic, diapered Adderall-fueled drug addict defamed Biden and his son from here to eternity. The ERA's passing/enforcement is what weak, fragile, psychotic males fear. They fear it could inroad  the profitability of the male dominated industries tied to trafficking, pornography, and all the industrial complexes...that have harm and brutality as their basis of control (medical, military, cosmetic/fashion/weight loss, food). Each industry poisons or harms humans in their "quest" to help themselves. For example, the medical industrial complex is for-profit. Life, once given, then, is not a right; existence must be paid for.   

Gloria spoke of the logic, then, of giving women equal pay with men. It would add billions to the tax structure and shore up the economy to greater profitability because women are the shoppers. Give them more money that they don't have to ask their husbands for and they will add to corporate market share...better than "trickle down."
 
Psychotics don't understand logic. Neither do losers like Adam Smith. John Nash understood. 

The male "urge" to be colonial occupiers has been demonstrated on all levels from wealthy privileged to Louisiana's governor Huey Long who said  a man is king...and the British peer Sir Coke in the 1600s said..."a man is the king of his own castle" (even if it is a dirt shack).  Meanwhile, who did the labor in the castle? Predominately, women and chattel slaves and servants-including males, while the male peers sat and "thought about how to keep the status quo with lies as justifications. Who was "expected" to keep life running smoothly so that the family was viable? Chattel from wealthy to poor. When the women gave out and died, men were free to marry another, use her up, marry another, use her up, etc. Women birthed children; labor was born from the moment she was born a female. Her body made her a slave. For men, economics made them slaves. Money was divinity regardless of how you achieved it. Only don't get caught or create your impunity with laws of immunity.

Of course through folk wisdom and medicine, women could overcome their slavery. They could choose to abort that which enslaved them. Over the centuries, possibly millions of embryos were ended. No one speaks of that, an inconvenient truth men refuse to believe. 

Women who have raised their sons to be human and decent are to be credited... ironically gay men who are out as gay, seem more balanced than repressed "incels" and perverted, repressed married men on the down low. Many of these repressed are pedophiles who play at being normal but are far from it (i.e. Trump and MAGA Republicans like Mike Johnson, JD Vance, Hegseth, Gym Jordan, etc.). Gay men are also kinder to women. Toxic masculines like gay-fearing Trump and his gang of miscreant, deplorable criminals are a hideous example of "men." They think "macho" cruelty toward women proves they are men. It only proves they are psychotic and inferior.

In light of "feminism" we have seen the burgeoning abuse of children and young girls in child trafficking, child porn, child murder-child disappearance. This  is the male corporate response to their fear of feminism: institutionalization of hatred of women and life. Trafficking and child porn is hugely profitable as is organ harvesting. The shame of it in its illegality is the regulation. Now, with Todd Blanche's carte blanche of not prosecuting the pedophiles at the top, the flood gates have opened.

Don't think child trafficking has stopped. Blanche green lights it by doing nothing. Blanche is the cover, probably getting massive kickbacks from the CEOs of the various industries who traffic children and foster pedophilia. The singular male living at home with mama is a feeding ground for pornography because such "incels" feel they are not marriageable material, and they keep themselves busy by enjoying the porn industry. But many men including married men have been lured and conditioned to look at pornography. That's why it's legal and that's why Howard Stern helped to diffuse the inferiority of males looking at young women (who often were hostages) and used them as fantasy, sexual outlets while the wife was blissfully unaware and convincing her friends she was happily married.

 
This is not freedom or equality. As long as Americans are the unwitting slaves of corporate capture via Trump and the MAGAS and complicit Democrats, they are not free. They are kept sick in every aspect of their nature (emotionally, psychically,  mentally, physically, etc.) They are manufactured humans, manufactured by the cultural propaganda of corporates. Women are more beautiful, enhanced and younger looking than ever, (enslaved to the process of staying that way), while men are uglier, Joe Rogan types to avoid looking like pretty boy gays. Both are miserable. Those who choose to identify as something  else are perhaps the most contented. The American citizen molded into corporate elites' slaves, propagandized as they become financially insoluble cannot continue in this misery. Enough is enough.

Gloria Steinem's passing and her wisdom are words to live by...especially what she said about Trump. She was quoted as saying that he and his cabinet must be removed as unfit, derelict, incapable of the position as an inferior. Indeed, as being proved as I write this, he was never duly elected as president of the US in the first place. He was elected via massive election fraud in 2016, 2024. Do your own research.
