The CIA serves Big Capital. During the Cold War, it subverted the US left by promoting LSD, feminism and theory. The aim was to ensure the triumph of "liberal democracy."
"Woke" Capital is the next stage. Radical liberalism shatters popular resistance to hegemonic neoliberalism.
It is pubic record that, beginning in the 1950s, the CIA saw LSD and other psychedelics as potentially powerful "mind control" drugs.
The only controversy is whether it was actively complicit in introducing LSD to the broader American public in the 1960s. nytimes.com/2019/09/10/boo…
In 1979, Timothy Leary told ABC News: "I give the CIA total credit for sponsoring and initiating the consciousness movement and counterculture events of the 1960s. The CIA funded and supported hundreds of young psychiatrists to experiment with this drug."
ABC News calls Leary, whose own psychedelics research was CIA-sponsored, "the 1960s Johnny Appleseed of LSD."
By accident or not, the CIA had helped neutralize the anti-Vietnam War movement, which was encouraged to "turn on, tune in, drop out."
It was the Empire that profited.
The CIA would again be complicit in blowing the minds of a generation of young Americans, mainly African-American, in the 1980s.
"Freeway" Rick Ross popularized crack cocaine. His supply lines were secured by the agency to fund regime change in Nicaragua.
In a 1967 limited hangout with CBS News, meant to defuse a bombshell "Ramparts" magazine exposé on CIA infiltration of the National Student Association, Gloria Steinem admitted to being a paid agent from 1958-1962.
Her CIA ties likely lasted much longer.
In her CBS News interview, Steinem coos that the CIA is "enlightened, liberal and nonpartisan."
In fact, the NSA gathered intelligence used to execute foreign student activists, and Steinem was right in the thick of it.
In 1972, Steinem launched "Ms." with the help of Katharine Graham of The Washington Post.
"Katharine the Great" (1979) suggests Philip Graham was tasked by the CIA to architect Operation Mockingbird.
Steinem had proven to be a "wonderful" System asset, and had its full backing.
In the 1970s, "Ms." defined mainstream feminism on behalf of Big Capital. It coincided with the rise of neoliberalism, which needed a legitimizing ideology for two-income families as unions collapsed and offshoring accelerated.
Second-wave feminism became class war on US labor.
For years, Steinem was a DSA Honorary Chair. The DSA has been funded by @gmfus, "close" to the CIA according to Udo Ulfkotte.
DSA founder Michael Harrington was mentored by CIA asset Norman Thomas, and notorious neocon Max Shachtman.
During the Cold War, the CIA sought to contain the US academy as it warred to contain challenges to the US Empire abroad.
It was in the CIA interest to back the Iowa Writers' Workshop, which spearheaded the lobotomization of US literature – and it did so. chronicle.com/article/how-io…
From the 1950s, CIA cutouts like the Rockefeller and Farfield Foundations funded Iowa, while CIA-tied media promoted its writers and faculty.
At Iowa, narrow sensation and feeling were favored over intellect and grand "novels of ideas." Thus was postwar US fiction greatly tamed.

Daily NK was the origin of the fake news that Kim Jong-un had died of a heart attack or some dumb shit, despite still being in his thirties at the time.
I was one of the first to debunk it, but got no credit from professional "DPRK watchers," of course.
Reminder that every expat libtard in South Korea who sided with Ukraine and supported sanctions were promoting obvious imperial propaganda, and only contributed to the immiseration of the Korean people.
I encourage everyone to read "Biden Takes Advantage of the Levers of Power to Protect His Family Business in Ukraine" to grasp the scale of his corruption there. (Shitter does not allow a direct link for obvious reasons.)
"Sleepy Joe" is a folksy front. He's an economic hit man.
"We regret to inform you that the First Amendment has been cancelled for your own safety. We only have your best interests at heart. Kindly, Team Twitter."
Other key sections on the Bidens are included below for reading convenience.
Given the obvious conflict of interests, @POTUS would be removed from any decision-making in formulating current policy on Ukraine if the US were still a serious country. Unfortunately, it's not.
From 2003–2013, South Korea averaged 2,900 annual flu deaths (source below). In the first year of the "pandemic" – prior to "vaccine" rollout – it recorded 1,420 Covid-19 deaths.
Meanwhile, 1,600 "vaccine" deaths have been reported locally so far.
Source below: 1,600 "vaccine" deaths so far reported.
In short, a US corporation is censoring South Koreans who question the safety and efficacy of rushed, compulsory "vaccines" developed by US corporations.
