Call me a feminist...

“I’m not a feminist as you know” she felt she had to tell me.

What? I thought, why does this 75 year old woman have to start off the conversation telling me she is not a feminists when it seems clear to me that she represents what the suffer jets fought for? Her right to vote and own property and be person. Her daughter has a successful career and like her mother, not afraid to live unmarried. Her two granddaughters have both graduated from university. All of these women have benefited from feminism and yet their grandmother feels she has to tell me she is not one? She knows I call myself a feminist as her granddaughters continual tease my about being over the dinner table. (I call myself and ecological feminist but that’s another blog.)

Her husband died about 20 years ago at which time she got her driver’s licence. She is a very strong and independent woman somewhat confident in her sexuality and yet she feels there is something wrong calling herself a “feminist”. Where does she get the idea that feminine is “evil” and wrong.

From the mainstream media of course. I know her male friend is an ex-cop and a Sun reader. He was one of those cops that entrapped gays in a sting operation at a local park. The cases all got thrown out of court before the got that far.

Who educates these people?

My theory is that it is the media plants. The people that work for the “firm”, those that operate in the media, the universities and politics. The people behind Stephen Harper like Tom Flanagan who has been quoted as quoting Machiavelli’s “fortune is a woman and it is necessary, if you wish to master her, to conquer her by force."

So these shills for war and oil and the bankers tell us one thing, we are in Afghanistan to save and protect the woman and children from the abusive Taliban… and yet they are determined to return them barefoot and voiceless back behind the oven.

And why is it that seemingly intelligent strong minded people can’t see the hypocritical thinking of the corporate media and its shills for oil, banks and war?

It’s because the liars know that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes a “truth”.

They know the power of words and symbols and will tell lies take away their power and redefine them to meet theirs. A quick Wikipedia search and we see feminism defined as “… a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism)

And yet the shills want us to think that feminism is somehow wrong.

Why? Because the War Machine is afraid of women.

It they let women have an equal voice we will nurture peace; create a just and equal world for everyone. Greed will go the way of the dodo bird as it seems to be consuming itself anyway.

We cannot dominate nature as we are seeing (male) but we can nurture nature for all of our benefits (female).

So call me a feminist and Uncle Tom a manly male as he calls for the execution of Julian Assange and the raping of women to master them.

Personally i want the women in my life to be my equal... and very different!

The new News is what's not in the News

The ProControls quoting the Think Tanks are the ones who get published in the "News" or the weirdo/freak stories that take millions off the path that get pushed to the forefront. The News is full of misinformation unless they are trying to hide a truth within the lies sold to us as truth.

A good example of the weirdo/freak news was the "Ground Zero Mosque" story that was never true in the first place but next thing we have a Koran burner on all the front pages. A minor incident affecting about 50 church goers makes the front pages nation wide because it incited hatred and racism.

As for the ProControls they know how to sell a story. And how to deflate one. They know how to hide a truth amongst the lies when Tom Flanagan said “… everybody knows Parliament was prorogued in order to shutdown the Afghan inquiry…” he knew just what he was doing. It’s an old CIA trick. Admit the truth and take the wind out of the sails. We had them on the ropes at that point and then instantly the story was no longer an issue. Then story then became Shelly “Who is Tom Flanagan” Glover and why Uncle Tom turned on his Man in that he finally got into Power. He didn’t turn on his Man in Power; he threw himself on the grenade for him. Very manly of him.

When the USA was about to invade Iraq I was on my way to Florida to visit my parents. I heard a few short stories on CBC radio about all the protest against the War. I couldn’t wait to get to the USA and hear all about them. My father is a CNN fan plus may parents watch all the local news. My mother falls to sleep with CNN on. Upon my arrival I’m sure that was my first question and I scoured the TV and all of their papers for news on which cities had rallies and the numbers. There weren’t any. Nothing on CNN. Nothing on FOX. Nothing in the local papers. When I was at their friends from NYC I was given his papers, still nothing. I was there for three weeks and did not see or hear about one protest in any of the media. I did see people on the streets with signs and some graphiti.

Now I’m in Canada and there are protests again in the USA and this time there is not one mention on CBC Radio News about Wisconsin.

Here is what I get when I google “Wisconsin protests CBC”: Three stories! And only one from the Globe and Mail that had one paragraph on the protest.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/television/john-doyle/must-watch-tv-the-revolution-starring-libya-bahrain-and-wisconsin/article1915729/

So the news of the day is what going on in Wisconsin and the Unions in Canada and why the newer and bluer CBC does not want us to know about it. And who is editing the CBC?

I'm sure there's a big NOT written on the proposed protest stories.
