Whether or nor one believes in conspiracies, to me the important question is,
"What are we trying to accomplish here?"
If we're trying to accomplish a freer and more just society, approaching solutions from a starting point of conspiracy theories is not likely to get you very far, IMO.
Approaching it from the point of view of more or less object facts which can be supported and proven and objective goals that can be worked toward is much more likely to result in success.
I will grant you, though, that this is not as much fun as conspiracy theories.
If youhave freedom of information legislation in the United States then use it to obtain copies of the POLICY ANALYSIS of the legislation in question....then you will know the enemies names.
At the trialbetween BC FATHERS and STATUS of WOMEN CANADA the primary enemy from SOW was a certain Vesna Radulovic....POLICY ANALYST....and project manager.
In Latin "legis" means "law" and "latura" means a room where scribes write things.
Who are the primary beneficiaries of the widget factories where law is written?
Who are the people who advise the elected "legislators" as to the wording to be used in the "legislation" that they produce like widgets?
Who benefits the most from the conflicts that this "legislation" creates?
If it were simply a matter of who you voted for...how is it you cannot tell me the name of who to put my "X" beside that would change this situation to our benefit?
None of the "usual suspects" in conspiracy theories have any power or any significant influence in the forum where those who are elected compose laws.....all of the battles of feminism have been won in court rooms as matters of "rights".
Exaclty, now were getting somewhere. That is where we need to concentrate our energy, just like the feminist groups did. That is exactly why I didn't say conspiracy, because it's not the polititions, it's the legislators and the people who advise and pay them that are running the show. The polititions are really just the spoke persons, but they also vote on legislation, but again, these polititions are also being bought out by the same people who are lobbying with legislators.
Feminist know this, they have infiltrated every part of govt that deals with legislation. Couple that with all the millions of dollars these women groups get, and it becomes a force to be feared.
What we need, are contacts in these legislative depts. We need to get the right people into these depts. They become our eyes and ears.
First, we need to stop bickering about little stuff, stop calling each other stupid names and form an organization like NOW, and get people elected into postions to help us. This is exactly how NOW did it.
