(LifeSiteNews) — Top feminist Gloria Steinem who died this week at age 92 may have been very different from her carefully cultivated public persona.
While she earned her reputation as the unrivaled leader of the feminist and pro-abortion movements, the connections that lay behind her public career perhaps tell a more complex tale.
There is no question that Steinem was once employed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). She herself divulged her association with the spy agency in her 2015 memoir.
“She knew she was working for the CIA and said so herself,” LifeSite CEO John-Henry Westen noted in a video on Friday, adding that she defended her work with the CIA by saying, “In my experience, the agency was completely different from its image. It was liberal, nonviolent, and honorable.”
Podcast host Alex Jones suggested that rather than being a casual “operative” working to send young non-communist Americans to overseas youth festivals during the late 1950s through the early 1960s, Steinem remained a “deep, high-level CIA” asset whose mission was to break up the family, to turn women against men, and to train women to be “mind-controlled slaves of the state.”
Perhaps the most startling assertion from Jones about Steinem is that she worked under Paul Ehrlich, the infamous mastermind of the global depopulation movement.
According to Jones, under Ehrlich’s direction, she helped promote the notion that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should direct television content creators to portray large families in a negative light. Beyond that, Ehrlich and Steinem wanted the government to legislate family size and punish those who have too many kids.
“She was a CIA agent, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, under Paul Ehrlich as her director at the CIA, to destroy the family, and to turn women against men,” said Jones.
She was “a monster” Jones declared, “with a PR firm – the CIA – behind her to do all this.” By linking Steinem to Ehrlich, Jones has accused her of playing a role in the collapse of western civilization.
Jones offered little in the way of proof of Steinem’s connections to Ehrlich and the far-left organizations in his podcast presentation, but they’re all plausible.
