Official: Lew Rockwell Converts Naomi Wolf

[BenIsForRon]

Guys, the strategy to build a movement is NOT divide and conquer!

 

[blocks]

Yes. We must eliminate all those who disagree with us in any way. Purge the infidels!

Some treat being a part of this movement as some sort of intellectual elite membership card. They have this elitist attitude that I despise.

Naomi wolf is a dang komrade. Forget her. She calls that actress..can't recall her name, but I just read this today, every day whining that Obama might lose. just forget that witch. Tones

I have managed to gain some respect for wolf, but i remain skeptical

I am hugely disappointed of her support of obama... but i am also hugely disappointed in your support of McCain...

bah bah bah

god dam sheep everywhere nowadays.

It is kind of unavoidable. Groups form common belief systems which evolves into ideology which can be very helpful. But at some point it becomes dogma which serves neither creativity nor flexibility--and therefore a movement not at all.

You're right. It's just unfortunate and frustrating that only 10 months ago Naomi Wolf would be getting sent a dozen roses in the name of Ron Paul, and now she's getting called a commie and being described as "of no use."

That said, let's launch the Roses for Naomi operation!

A year and a half ago I was a neocon. The day we stop trying to convince new people and instead get some sort of exclusive club mentality, content to bicker about minutia among ourselves, is the day we die as a movement.

Kudos to NW for being willing to think honestly! This is more than can be said of many these days. And here's hoping she helps in the defense of liberty for all! (Indeed she already has)

 

[Liberty4Free]

I'm glad she's waking up. And I'm guessing once/if Obama wins and doesn't change much, then she'll truly hop on board. I've got her book The End of America but haven't had the chance to read it yet.

I don't care if this has been posted before.

There has been many debates in this forum regarding Naomi Wolf regarding her relationship to the Revolution and the climax of the issue has been realized:

http://www.lewrockwell.com/podcast/...-30_058_americas_slow_motion_fascist_coup.mp3

In what I believe to be Lew Rockwell's longest interview he spends 50 minutes explaining the fundamentals of libertarianism to her and she is abslutely astounded. She is heard saying, "Wow, you are so right" over a dozen times throughout the interview.

I urge all of you to listen to the above interview and warmly welcome Naomi Wolf and her excellent work to the Revolution.

Excellent interview

Thanks for posting.

Rhodes scholar = NWO!

Stay tuned for further developments, re Naomi. I'd say she's got a LOT of dues to pay before I'd buy it.

The proof of the pudding will come in the future. Wait and see how she uses this "new found knowledge". If she uses it to good effect, then there may be hope. If she doesn't, then we needn't be surprised. But just because she gives a positive response to something doesn't mean she's sold or that she'll use the info.

Yes, and this could be much bigger than Naomi discovering the Tree of Liberty.

This interview (potentially a live birth event*) brings me hope and joy that
the Tree of Liberty has just discovered a beautiful new blossom!

Let's now watch the politicians wither as we turn away from their poison lies.


*Glorious, bloody, yet no injury or loss of life (as the Tree gets "watered").

She was not converted.

She was woken up.

I think there's a reasonable case to be made against Wolf, outside of elitism. Her critics in the feminist, progressive, and various political circles (she was an advisor to the Clinton campaign in '96) she's rotated in through her career made some fair points. You can listen to her talk here and elsewhere on her youtube videos and I think it's fair to say she's a fairly light, insubstantial thinker. Her recent kick, trying to find universal traits in the trend toward authoritarianism (which isn't some ground breaking new endeavor in itself) has brought her into some fairly libertarian thinking, apparently. But her M.O., if you watch enough of her interviews and talking is mostly just to bob her head, be sympathetic, and basically be a conversationally accessible, superficially thoughtful attractive woman and that's what she does in the linked interview.

As has been noted she is an Obama supporter and her career can basically be outlined as a superficial psuedo-feminist writer whose career has been in decline and now finds a ready made, mostly male audience starving for someone like her to waltz along and "convert."

Read up on her most well known book, The Beauty Myth


And take a peep at her publicity attempt to, 20 years after the fact, accuse a professor of "sexual encroachment"

Well put.

I was liking the interview, but when she was saying things like "oh my God, Lew, you're so right *gasp* you're right" at some basic knowledge, it seemed pretty off/fishy.

So I like what I heard for the most part, but remain skeptical; like Truth Warrior said, she's got a lot of dues to pay.

I like a lot of what I have heard from her over the past year. Remains to be seen whether she is a Wolf in sheeps clothing, but I am hopeful that she is coming around. It showed a lot of humility to say that progressives (herself included) don't really understand the banking system. I wish Lew would have told her it's because she isn't meant to understand.

I don't believe everyone in the CFR is evil. But I do think it is a recruiting pool for the Insiders, and I don't think you get in the CFR at all unless you are someone that the Insiders feel is potentially a recruit to the conspiracy.

You guys realize that the CFR, the American branch of the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RUA), was born out of Cecil Rhodes' work, right?

It's one thing to try to educate, wake-up and convert regular Americans (i.e. normal human beings), it is quite another to think that one is reaching an agent of their oppressor (i.e. another garden variety psychopath). Naomi is just another agent, like Bill Moyers, Dan Rather, Walter Chronkite or any number of CFR globalist media shills.

Why is it I feel like I'm living in Plato's Cave allegory. No matter what's said, the cave dwellers can't hear, won't hear. They just go on their merry way believing everyone the media and the establishment throw at us....desperately searching for a new leader while failing to look within? It's a failing and worthless effort to continue to look for saviors when all the saviors are supplied by social planners who are experts in social manipulation. Look within, or be subject to the shadow makers in the cave.

"We will build the New World Order piece by piece right under their noses" (the American people). "The house of the New World Order will have to be built from the bottom up rather than from the top down. An end run around sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, will accomplish much more than the old fashioned frontal attack." Richard Gardner, leading American Socialist, Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), April 1974

Well said.<IMHO>

Thanks for the amplification and explanation.
