How can Americans bad mouth our super heroine and CIA feminist icon?
LSNTV (YouTube), Sept. 4, 2026; edited by Wisdom Quarterly
Member of CIA and Illuminati?
Gloria Steinem, the iconic feminist, women's rights, and abortion-rights activist, worked for the CIA from 1958 to 1962, which would seem to make her an "agent."
The Independent Research Service, largely financed by the CIA, is how they got money and instructions/directions/orders to her.
She has defended the CIA as not the murderous, amoral, Orwellian intel Company we all know but as "liberal, nonviolent, and honorable."
The question is unavoidable: how does her later role as a leader of the ever-popular sexual revolution and abortion-rights movement fit with the Agency's Cold War mission?
John-Henry Westen traces CIA Asset Gloria Steinem's personal and political history, attempts to murder her fetus, her successful 1957 abortion, her involvement with the radical feminist group Redstockings, and her eventual CIA-staged emergence as a prominent advocate for women's liberation.
The argument connects the CIA's opposition to Soviet communism with an eagerness to promote social changes that strengthened American capitalism which necessitated weakening traditional family structures.
Thank Goddess for American feminism and the women's movement
A list of alleged communist objectives -- weakening the traditional American family, promoting sexual permissiveness, promoting abortion, expanding divorce, influencing education and media, undermining oldtimey traditional morality -- resembles developments associated with Gloria Steinem's activism.
Steinem's CIA-backed influence on the abortion debate is enormous: she promoted the Orwellian euphemism "reproductive freedom," co-founded feminist organizations and the CIA's Ms. magazine, and advocated for abortions for decades.
The connection raises questions that American culture has refused to ask: Were the social revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s organic, or were they engineered by the CIA?
The answer may be more disturbing than the culture is willing to admit. The question is whether anyone will ask it.
CALAPALOOZA: UC Berkeley's "Club Day"(Vincent Ooi) Looking back seven years at Cal’s Club Day, when students sign up for what interests them to get involved in campus community life.
Are there any all-girl acapella groups to join?
Summer is over. Everyone is back. This is the slow wind up to the beginning of instruction at the University of California at Berkeley (Cal), the world's greatest public institution of higher learning. Move in days just happened, and everyone is bracing for the full moon day of August as everyone returns to class and studying. Thursday, which is coincidentally also a lunar eclipse, marks a big event on campus: Calapalooza:
With over 1,400 student-registered organizations on campus, a student community is right around the corner. Learning a new skill, meeting like-minded friends, and discovering passions are only a few of the perks of joining a student club. Establishing these connections through activities that members have in common enriches the college experience. life.berkeley.edu

WHAT HAPPENED?
More similarities than differences
People gathered in silence from all over Los Angeles, guitars in hand. At 10:00 there was group singing of traditional hymn from the hymnal book with old Quaker and Shaker songs, accompanied by piano and violin. Meanwhile, everyone was setting up the vegan potluck. "Service" convened, which means a silent meditation punctuated by anyone who wants to stand up and say something, moved by "spirit," as it occurs to them. An hour later, there are announcements, joys and sorrows, children coming in to talk about what they've been doing outside or in the schoolroom. Then the socializing started with a storm and a self-serve line of many delicious treats. An hour later, the Talent Show began at the mic: stand up comedy, singing, poetry, guitar, drums, Irish fiddlers, a ballet recital, kids doing the "peace train" accompanied by Cat Stevens' hit song, lots of laughs, fun, and creativity.
Silence, singing, eating, and being peace

It's a vegan/vegetarian potluck with caroling (singing beautiful traditional seasonal songs from the hymn book), feasting, friendship, socializing, and a big TALENT SHOW. Sign up with Kindred. It's all FREE.
Quakers and Buddhists have [more than] a few things in common. Most importantly, they share a common humanity and a commitment to creating peace in the world.
Pasadena + Santa Monica are unprogrammed meetings in peaceful silence
They are both enlightenment religions. Both [Founder] George Fox and the Buddha experienced a transformative, liberating awareness through the dedicated practice of quiet contemplation.
My life is an intersection of these religions. I was born a Quaker [referred to as a "Friend"], to Quaker parents with Quaker grandparents and great-grandparents. I attended Friends schools through college. I sat in many meetings for [silent] worship [waiting on the spirit to move me and fellow parishioners]. I have always been proud to be a Quaker.
I found Buddhism later in life, when I was 27 years old. I was looking for a tonic for depression. I found Buddhist philosophy and writing soothing to my condition. I liked that Buddhism talked about meditation as a remedy to suffering.
Even though I had been meditating [listening, sitting in receptive silence, being move by the presence of a Godly Great Spirit] all of my life in Quaker meetings, I had always struggled with how to do it.
As a child, meeting for worship [which for unprogrammed Quakers means no priest, preacher, pastor, or person in charge, just Friends sitting in silence punctuated by anyone who wants to stand up and speak as they are moved to do] was somewhere between difficult and excruciatingly painful.
Quakers get monkey mind?
[Monkey Mind:] To amuse myself, I would count things. I would count people with glasses. I would count ceiling tiles. I would count the seconds on my watch. I would welcome any spoken message that would break up the monotony of the silence. I would welcome the break of meeting so I could talk and run around again.
When I learned to meditate in the Buddhist style, I learned to keep my awareness focused by counting my breaths. I learned to hold my body still while I focused my mind [heart]. I found a specific place to put my hands.
In meditation, I was relieved of the burden of being moved by the Spirit to speak and say something spiritually profound.
Learning Buddhist meditation techniques taught me how to sit in Quaker meeting. Through all those years of Quaker upbringing and Quaker education, I had somehow missed that fundamental teaching.
In my Zen Buddhist practice, I sat many hours of meditation. I did sitting meditation, walking meditation, chanting meditation, bowing meditation, eating meditation [mindfulness], tea-drinking meditation, and listening meditation. I went on a retreat to the Detroit Zen Center and did cooking meditation, cleaning meditation, weeding meditation, and hours and hours of sitting meditation.
All that meditation was not necessarily peaceful or easy as I did it. What I found is that the rest of my days became more peaceful and easier to manage. The meditation worked. It created peace. More: The Zen of Quakerism
Peter Taylor explains his motivation for practicing Zen and Quakerism
Murdered father (and beloved Hollywood actor, director, comedian, and genius) Rob Reiner, son of Carl Reiner, said his childhood home was not observantly Jewish, although he did have a bar mitzvah ceremony [63]. [What Jewish kid wouldn't, given the money and friendships to be made?]
His father, Carl Reiner, had become an atheist in response to Hitler and the Jewish Holocaust [64].
Rob Reiner identified as an atheist on the Jan. 13, 2012, episode of Real Time with Bill Maher [65][66].
He later said that, while he rejected organized religion, he was sympathetic to the ideas of Buddhism [65].
In a September 2025 interview with Piers Morgan, Rob Reiner said, "I'm Jewish, but I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in 'do unto others,' and I believe in forgiveness" [all very nice Buddhist "ideas"] [67]. More
"Coexistence, My Ass!": Israeli standup comic Noam Shuster-Eliassi uses humor to oppose Israel's occupation of Palestine
Do all lives matter? - Yes, but Jewish lives matter most. - Isn't that racist? - No, we're the victims.
Can I love Palestinians as much as Israelis?
(Democracy Now!)
Oct. 29, 2025: Coexistence, My Ass! is a new comedic documentary opening today (Wednesday, Oct. 29th) in New York, highlighting Noam Shuster-Eliassi, an Israeli Jewish comedian and peace activist.
Shuster-Eliassi strives for justice and equality for Palestinians and "to make present the elephant in the room that a lot of artists [in Israel and the U.S.] prefer to ignore."
DN! also speaks with Director Amber Fares, who says the film — like others dealing with the topic of Palestine and Zionism — is struggling to find distribution in the United States but has six screenings already set up, including an opening at the IFC Center in New York City.
Noam Shuster-Eliassi: The Israeli comic laughing in the face of Jewish apartheid
Find me on Facebook and Instagram
(Friday Night Semites) Oct. 31, 2024: Noam Shuster-Eliassi is a self-described “traitor comedian” – a Jewish Israeli artist, activist, and all-around cultural troublemaker who isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
Growing up in Israel’s only intentional Jewish/Palestinian community called Neve Shalom/Wahat as-Salam ("Oasis of Peace"), Noam refused to join the Israeli Army (IDF) and instead became an organizer against Israel's occupation.
Sammy Obeid on Israel/FBI's murder of Charlie Kirk
Now, she’s turning her unique perspective into comedy that takes on everything from Israeli censorship to the contradictions of what she calls the “peace industry.”
Think of her humor as the antidote to Israel’s polished PR (psyops and propaganda posing as "public relations")—challenging, honest, and unapologetically bold.
In this episode with standup comedian Sammy Obeid, Noam breaks down her one-woman show, Coexistence, My Ass! (yes, that’s really the name), the reactions to her pro-Palestine material, and the toll of being a loud voice for human rights and equality from Gaza to the West Bank and inside present-day Apartheid Israel itself.
I really hope Bibi likes my show.
She also dishes out some wild stories from her time at East Jerusalem’s “Corona Hotel” quarantine, shares what it’s like to speak at international peace summits without pulling punches, and dives into her own, not-so-sanitized take on Israel’s official narratives.
This conversation gets real about the risks (and occasional rewards) of using comedy to cut through apartheid, dehumanization, and the unspoken hierarchies baked into racist Israeli society.
