C'mon, Lenny. You'll have to provide examples of "supposedly profit-driven corporations hemorrhaging billions of dollars to push fat, fag and trans acceptance."

These things are subject to analysis through hard data. The Securities and Exchange Commission and shareholder democracy demand it.

And who said there are no villains or remedies? Certainly, Bernays pushing cigarettes on women as "Torches of Freedom" might qualify as a villain. It's more like blaming some obscure Frankfurt School, almost all dead now, and a few ranting professors, absolves the real system grinding people down.

Note this is a logarithmic scale, Dow closed yesterday at 25,648.02 +115.97 (0.45%)

This is an incredibly short-sighted statement that totally flies in the face of reality. Frankly I have a hard time understanding how anyone on this forum of all places can have the gall to write something as misguided as this...

The Frankfurt School is anything but dead, it has unleashed cultural marxism and completely taken over academia, shaping the mindset of hundreds of thousands of graduates and taking over all aspects of popular culture, mainstream media, corporate culture and most governments across the West, as well as foreign policy, with the US now making globohomo an integral part of their policy doctrine.

George Soros for instance is a pure product of the Frankfurt School, he was mentored by Karl Popper, one of its leaders. His Open Society Foundation is nothing but the pure implementation of Karl Popper's cultural marxist ideology, down to its name, based on Popper's "Open Society and its Enemies":

Quote:

George Soros claims as his mentor the philosopher Karl Popper, author of The Open Society and its Enemies. “He influenced me with his writings and his thinking,” Soros says in his book Soros on Soros.

Soros is but one small arm of the global cultural marxist juggernaut. The takeover of US academia by the Frankfurt School was a key milestone in that process. Gender studies, attacks on males, attacks on the white majority (which started with the publication of Adorno's "The Authoritarian Personality" by the American Jewish Council, which became the bible of all psychology departments across academia), promotion of gay and trans agenda, attack on family, on Christianity, "toxic masculinity", "white privilege",... All of this is the implementation of the pure cultural marxist ideology of the Frankfurt School. To deny this basic fact is beyond ridiculous.


Your illustration of the Dow Jones index chart and drop in wages/purchasing power only tells half the story. The billionaire oligarchs at the top are more concerned about control of society than pure financial gain, they already control the banking system and are enormously wealthy.

They do not want the rise of a strong, healthy middle class with a national consciousness, and are therefore throttling economic growth through things like engineered crises like the Great Depression and Great Recession, or the scam of Global Warming with its carbon taxes and artificially induced energy poverty.

One of the main reasons they have launched feminism is to destabilize the population and destroy families. Atomized individuals with little in terms of national identity, faith and community support are easy to rule over, they will be raised and their mindset will be shaped by daycare centers, school and colleges, mass media and BS new age "spirituality".

They will worship and emulate vapid degenerate manufactured stars instead of looking up to and emulating their parents, grandparents and members of their cultural community. They will be incapable of raising families, and programmed to see the other half of the population as their enemies, with the false dialectic of left-right pseudo-democracy.

I don't see how you can be completely blind of all this social engineering.

As usual, you make a number of factual statements without any reference except for one of the type of your usual sources, some random anonymous blog which attacks Soros and his intellectual mentor, Karl Popper. Have you read Popper's The Open Society and its Enemies? As the blog acknowledges, it was one of the main anti-communist texts during the Cold War. There's nothing wrong with Popper, unless you're against freedom.

But Soros ain't shit. He's just one of many billionaires. I saw some of his Open Society Institute people working in the Middle East, they were doing the usual NGO and free media development. Same shit that DFID, USAID, AusAID, UNDP, EuropeAid does.

Open Society Institute's glory days were its work helping to convert Eastern Europe to free market economies. They did some impressive stuff there, lots of economists and business consultants. And it was successful - those countries have had an impressive growing in prosperity. Soros is a standard neoliberal. He's talking all the time, it's not like anything he does is secret.

Then, the rest is "They . . . They .... They" Who and how? How do these "cultural marxists" control trillion dollar economies and a billion voters? Or is it "the oligarchs?"

I'm going to return to Bernays and him pushing women to smoke in behalf of the American Tobacco Company, because it's very illustrative of the effect of capitalism changing values in order to open markets and increase sales.

Here's a couple of key passages from a paper on the subject,

Brandt, 1996: Recruiting Women Smokers: the Engineering of Consent, Journal of the American Medical Women's Association

Quote:

By the early 20th century, the cigarette had come to represent a powerful clash in cultural values. Traditional morality configured the cigarette as a threat to the moral sanctity of women; at the same time, the cigarette marked the erosion of
certain expectations of strict boundaries between the worlds of men and women.
The cigarette became a symbol of new roles and expectations of women’s behavior. From an emphasis on discipline and self-restraint that had characterized late
19th century cultural values, individuals were now being encouraged to consume.
If pleasure and indulgence were anathema to Victorian expectations of women, by
the 1920s, pleasure and indulgence were critical components of what would come
to be called the “consumer culture.”6

Quote:

By 1929, Hill sought more aggressive interventions to change the meaning
of women’s smoking and to publicly attract this vast new market. As Bernays
recounted, “Hill called me in. ‘How can we get women to smoke on the street?
They’re smoking indoors. But damn it, if they spend half the time outdoors and
we can get ‘em to smoke outdoors, we’ll damn near double our female market.
Do something. Act!’”9 Bernays set out to identify and destroy the taboos associated with public smoking for women. Seeking to capitalize on the available scientific knowledge of human behavior, he enlisted the advice of noted psychiatrist A. A. Brill, who explained, “Some women regard cigarettes as symbols of freedom. Smoking is a sublimation of oral eroticism; holding a cigarette in the mouth excites the oral zone. It is perfectly normal for women to want to smoke cigarettes.”9

Here's something I saw with my own eyes. It's an ad campaign for Beefeater gin

...

Now, those ads seem to portray a feminist message subversive of traditional values. A tatted up, pierced slut and a hard core dyke. Live and let live, I say.
Is the purpose of the ads to subvert traditional values? No, it's to sell gin. They're basically subverting their own brand "Beefeater" trying to be cool.

Lenny didn't provide any examples of companies wasting "billions" on "trans, fat and fag acceptance" because there aren't any.

Beefeater is a brand owned by PernodRicard, a French public company. They are in it to make money, as is the advertising agency which designed the campaign, McCann.

Pernod Ricard ADR stock

It has a lot of brands!

McCann is accountable to PernodRicard for any change in sales as a result of this campaign, and PernodRicard management is accountable to its shareholders. The performance of Beefeater in Spain and PernodRicard are not going to be secrets. It's all out in the open.

I prefer seeing what's in front of me to believing in shadowy conspiracies of Soros, "the global cultural marxist juggernaut," the CFR, the Frankfurt School or da Jooos in general.

You prefer to see what's in front of you, but are going out of your way to not see what's behind what's in front of you, for whatever reason...

I'll let Bernays answer that question:





and



Bernays worked for some of these oligarchs, like John D Rockefeller, the Vanderbilts, the Roosevelts, and that periods' neocons in support of US military interventionism in WW1 and in Latin America. Bernays' precursor, and the father of PR was Ivy Lee, who was Rockefeller's PR arm, and a founding member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).

These oligarchs own Wall Street, founded and own the Fed in 1913, control the media, academia, the medical establishment/big pharma, the think tanks, popular culture.

This is a very good rundown of the history of American oligarchs through the story of the Rockefeller and the oil industry:

Most of the old oligarchs are still active, though there is some turnover in their ranks, with the oligarchy going from majority WASP/minority Jewish to now being more Jewish dominated, with Bloomberg, Zuckerberg, Adelson, Ellison, Brin, Page, Soros, Sackler and co joining the ranks of the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Schiffs and Bronfmans.

They don't push globohomo primarily for profit, but as an instrument to debase and control the masses by turning them into atomized individuals and compulsive consumers who are slaves to their primary impulses. Gillette's campaign for example is not a moneymaker, it is at least as much a tool for societal change (see the "Get Woke Go Broke" thread). Just like the media is a tool for societal change and not a pure money play.

Soros didn't invest millions into Vice for profits, and Bezos didn't buy the Washington Post because it was a profitable enterprise, these people control the corporate boards and the advertizing agencies, and are about societal control through social engineering.
