Steinem: CIA Agent,
Traitor

W
That follows is a fact sheet about Gloria
Steinems operations against the various
social and political movements in
America, particularly her role in creating
a hateful and virulent strain of Black
feminism that attacks Black men while
partnering with the white establishment.
Gloria Steinem first came across the radar of Black men in 1978 when Steinem put a book called Black Macho and the
Myth of the Superwoman on the cover of Ms. Magazine, the magazine which she controlled. The book was written by
a Black feminist and activist named Micele Wallace who came out of nowhere. Wallace was in her early twenties at
the time, yet she was being touted as the leader of Black feminism. In the book, Wallace called abolitionists like
Harriet Tubman and Sojouner Truth ugly and stupid for supporting Black men. She called Black Revolutionaries
chauvinist macho pigs and advised Black women to go it alone. Gloria Steinem said that Wallaces book would
define the future of Black relationships and she pushed hard to make sure the book received massive publicity.
Gloria Steinems work triggered a flood of Hate Black Men books and films that continues to this day. Needless to say,
some were quite suspicious of Ms. Magazine and Gloria Steinem. Why was Steinem sticking her nose into the affairs of
the Black community? So people started doing some research on Steinem. When it came out that Gloria Steinem was
probably the ghost writer of the book with Michele Wallaces name on it, Wallace had a nervous breakdown and went
into hiding for two years. However, the damage was already done and the Hate Black Men movement was off and
running. But the research into Gloria Steinems background continued. What follows is the findings of many different
researchers.
BOTTOM LINE: The so-called Black Feminist movement was created and manipulated by the CIA from the
very beginning. The only difference between Black Revolutionaries and Black Feminist on this issue is that the Black
Revolutionaries KNOW they were infiltrated and manipulatedButBlack Feminist are still unwilling to admit that
they were infiltrated and manipulated, largely because they are highly invested in the hateful brand of Black
feminism. As a result, the Hate Black Men movement has become MORE THAN just a political point a view: It is now a
central part of the CULTURE of Black women and this fact has led to the destruction of the Black Revolution and the
complete distortion of Black relationships. And the CIA had a direct hand in creating this situation.
The FACTS surrounding Gloria Steinems CIA operations follow:
FACT: Gloria Steinem is a CIA Agent and everything she has ever done throughout her adult life has been under the
direction of the CIA.

FACT: Gloria Steinem was recruited into the CIA before she even graduated high school.
FACT: Gloria Steinem, who was from a poor and dysfunctional family and lived in a house without running water, was
able to attend the elite and expensive Smith College. After she graduated she spent two years in India spying for the
CIA. She received a Chester Bowles Student Fellowship to study in India. This was a Fellowship created by the CIA to
cover Steinems expenses in Indiano one has received a Cheater Bowles Student Fellowship either before or since
Steinem received one.
FACT: One of Gloria Steinems first missions for the CIA was to manipulate the student movement(most people are
STILL unaware that the National Student Association was created, funded and manipulated by the
CIA). Steinem did this by organizing student festivals in Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. Steinem used the student
festivals to spy on students for the CIA and she likely used the festivals to recruit new agents for the CIA. A second and
more successful mission was to shift the orientation of the womans movement and splinter the Black Revolution of
the 1960s.
FACT: In 1958, Cord Meyer, head of the CIAs International Organizations division (IO), had a plan. The Agency would
provide discreet funding to an informal group of activists who would constitute themselves as an alternative
American delegation to the festival. The CIA would not only pay their way but also assist them to distribute books and
publish a newspaper in Vienna. Among other individuals, Meyer and his colleagues hired Gloria Steinem to work with
them. Steinem had recently returned from a two-year stint in India.
FACT: In 1958, Steinem was recruited by CIAs Cord Meyers to direct the informal group of activists now called the
Independent Research Service. This was part of Meyers Congress for Cultural Freedom, which created magazines
like Encounter and Partisan Review to promote a left-liberal chic to oppose Marxism. It was this operation that
Steinems student festivals was a part of. Besides spying on students, Steinem also acted as an agent provocateur,
helping to provoke riots.
FACT: Commenting on the CIA-controlled student festivals organized by Gloria Steinem, Sheila Tobias, an unwitting
participant on one such trip (who later taught womens studies at Cornell University), said the CIA: was interested in
spying on the American delegates to find out who in the United States was a Trotskyite or Communist. So we were a
front, as it turned out. (quoted by Marcia Cohen in the Sisterhood, 1988)
FACT: Further information of Steinems CIA operations: Working through C.D. Jackson and Cord Meyer, Steinem set up
an organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts called the Independent Service for Information on the Vienna Youth
Festival. She obtained tax-exempt status, and Jackson helped her raise contributions from various American
corporations, including the American Express Company (a documented CIA money laundering operation). But most of
the money came from the CIA, to be managed by Jackson in a special account. The entire operation cost in the range
of $85,000, a considerable amount in those years.
FACT: Gloria Steinem was considered a CIA whiz kid. A CIA Operative named Samuel Walker, who made a career out
of publishing and became president of Walker & Co. (a New York City publishing firm founded in the same year as the
CIA funded Publications Development Corporation) worked well with Steinem.
Walker evaluated Gloria Steinems contribution to the CIA operations thusly:

Glorias group continues to do yeoman service, distributing books etc. to the point where the cry has gone up Never
before have so many Young Republicans distributed so much Socialist literature with such zeal. Walker praised
Steinems female intuition and wrote, Gloria is all you said she was, and then some. She is operating on 16
synchronized cylinders and has charmed the natives. (C.D. Jackson to Cord Meyer, 7/14/59, with attached Walker
diary; Walker to Jackson, 7/31/59, DDE.) In other words, Gloria Steinem was NOT a naive dupe of the CIA, she was a
highly motivated agent who took her own initiative to move against fellow students for the CIA.
FACT: Gloria Steinems name keeps showing up in projects associated with CIA operations. For example (From Kai

Birds The Chairman: John J. McCloy and the Making of the American Establishment, New York: Simon & Schuster, 199:
pp. 483-84, 727): In the summer of 1959, just before McCloy took his family for an extended trip to Europe, C.D.
Jackson wrote to remind McCloy that later that summer a World Youth Festival was scheduled to take place in Vienna.
Jackson asked McCloy to contribute a propaganda article. The piece would appear in a daily newspaper to be published
in Vienna in conjunction with the festival. McCloy agreed, and the article was published (in five languages) in a
newspaper distributed by a twenty-five-year-old Smith graduate named Gloria Steinem.
**This is a student publication: How was it published in five languages? Well the CIA did it, of course!!
FACT: When this covert operation was revealed by Ramparts magazine in 1967, Steinem told The New York Times that
she approved the Agencys role. I was happy to find some liberals in government in those days who were far-sighted
and cared enough to get Americans of all political views to the Festival. Steinems definition of a liberal then included
such young men as Zbigniew Brzezinski, an assistant professor at Harvard. Steinem arranged to fund Brzezinskis visit
to the student festival. Brzezinki would later become the National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter (19771981) and he was the man who invented the so-called Bear Trap which suckered the Soviet Union into invading
Afghanistan. Brzezinski was also the man who first organized and funded Osama Bin Ladens Jihad against the Soviets
in Afghanistan. Gloria Steinem also identified and targeted Alice Walker in the early 1960s. She befriended Alice Walker
and paid for Alice Walker to come to the CIA-manipulated student festival in Vienna. Alice Walker would later become
the foremost writer of anti-Black male hate books all of which were funded by money funneled to her publishers by
the CIA.
FACT: Steinem has boasted in interviews with the NY Times and the Washington Post (in 1967) that her training with
the CIA was good journalistic training because the CIA taught you to be accurate. This statement proves that
Steinem was happy to collect money working for the CIA.
FACT: Gloria Steinem worked with Carlos Bringier, the anti-castro Cuban who staged the famous WDSU interview with
Lee Harvey Oswald.
FACT: Gloria Steinem dated J. Stanley Pottinger for nine years. Pottinger was in charge of sabotaging civil rights
enforcement at the Justice Department (he was assistant attorney general) under President Nixon and President Ford.
According to Donald Freed & Fred Landis in their book Death in Washington, J Stanly Pottinger also helped to cover
up the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Orlando Letelier. Pottinger also publicly defended Gloria Steinem
against charges of CIA involvementwhich Steinem had already admitted. Why would a radical feminist like Gloria
Steinem be anywhere near a guy like Pottinger, unless she was a government employee herself?
FACT: Gloria Steinem dated Henry Kissingera international war criminal, establishment technocrat, and a long time
CIA operativefor years. Why would a radical feminist date someone who was considered a mass murderer by
EVERYONE in the movement? You be the judge.
FACT: One of the principle stockholders in Gloria Steinems Ms. Magazine was Catherine Graham. In the book
Catherine The Great by Deborah Davis, the longstanding involvement of Graham publishing empire (which includes
The Washington Post and Newsweek) with the CIA was documented hat considerable length.
FACT: Gloria Steinem has lied often about her career and where she gets her money. For example: she received money
to start Ms. Magazine from the right-wing millionaire publisher (he publishes the racist New York Daily News) and real
estate magnate Mortimer Zuckerman. Steinem lied to Vanity Fair, claiming that Zuckermans provided no money for
Ms. Magazine. But columnist Liz Smith revealed that Zuckerman had put $1.2 million into Ms. Magazine and sent his
executives to help as well. Why did Steinem lie about this? Because her funding by racists, right wingers, and CIA
agents would damage her feminist credentials. And there has NEVER been an adequate explanation of the original
funding for Ms. Magazine nor for the rapid acceptance of feminist propaganda by the mass media in the early
Seventies. No radical movement has ever spread with the speed of feminism, which went from little or no organization
and acceptance to total domination in less than two years. Obviously, it did touch very deep frustrations in American

women, but it is difficult to avoid the fact that the existing movement was manipulated very effectively to channel
these frustrations to the benefit of the business community and the detriment of women, children, families and
especially Black men.
FACT: Gloria Steinems fake literary career was conceived and executed by the CIAs Matrix Operatives. One of
Steinems CIA colleagues was Clay Felker. In the early 1960s, he became an editor at Esquire and published articles by
Steinem which established her as a leading voice for the CIA-manipulated Feminist Movement. In 1968, as publisher
of New York Magazine, Felker hired Steinem as a contributing editor, and then editor of Ms. Magazine in 1971. Warner
Communications (a known CIA front) put up almost all the money although it only took 25% of the stock. Ms.
Magazines first publisher was Elizabeth Forsling Harris, a CIA-connected PR executive who planned John Kennedys
Dallas motorcade route. Despite its anti establishment image, MS magazine attracted advertising from the cream of
corporate America. It published ads for ITT (a CIA-supported corporation which helped engineer Operation Chaos in
Chile which led to the CIA overthrow of a democratically elected government).
FACT: When N.Y. Times reporters confronted Steinem with documentation of her connections to the CIA and CIA
funding of her various activities, Steinem remarked that she got caught because CIA wasnt tricky enough. Hinting that
CIA should have made better use of front companies, Steinem remarked:

The CIAs big mistake was not supplanting itself with private funds fast enough. By

the time Steinem founded Ms. Magazine, the CIA had learned how to funnel money
through private individuals and corporations. Thats how Steinem was able to fund
Ms. Magazine. Her CIA funding was so substantial, that Steinem was able to do the
unprecedented: She stopped accepting advertising for Ms. Magazine. She didnt need
any more advertising: Because CIA money has been keeping her expensively produced
magazine afloat from the very beginning.
FACT: Gloria Steinem had the (CIA) power to successfully censor three different publications (the book The Feminist
Revolution, a Village Voice article, and a New York community newspaper article). All three publications documented
Steinems involvement with the CIA. Nevertheless a story about Steinems CIA connections appeared in the Village
Voice on May 21, 1979.
FACT: An organization of radical white feminists called Red Stockings outed Gloria Steinem as a CIA agent. When Red
Stockings tried to publish a book called Feminist Revolution in 1979 with a chapter that detailed Steinems CIA
connections, Steinem and her powerful CIA-connected friends forced Random House to delete the chapter on Steinem.
Nevertheless the chapter on Steinems CIA connections appeared in the Village Voice on May 21, 1979, but only after
the Village Voice had been threatened by Steinems lawyers. The book Feminist Revolution is still available. You can
buy the censored version from Redstockings for $8.00. For $4.00 (or free if you buy Feminist Revolution), you get the
censored section which contains detailed material on Steinems early work with the CIA, and an account of how this
story was censored after originally being scheduled for publication. Who were the powerful people who put pressure
on Random House, the Village Voice and Red Stockings on Steinems behalf? Catherine Graham, publisher of the
Washington Post (Graham is a known CIA agentsee the book Catherine the Great by Deborah Davis), Franklyn
(uncle) Thomas of the Ford Foundation (The Ford Foundation is a documented funnel for CIA funds), and Warner
Communications (a Ms. Magazine stock holder and CIA propaganda company)
FACT: Since the middle of World War II, the U.S. intelligence establishment has spent billions of dollars researching
mind control techniques and inventing mind control technology. Thousands of people were kidnapped, drugged,
hypnotized and tortured as a part of the CIAs mind control research and field testing. Many of these victims began
surfacing in the 1980s.
These victims were having strange dreams and flashbacks. This was dangerous for the CIA because their mind control
operations could be exposed. So the CIA created, funded and controlled a number of organizations that floated the
idea that these victims were suffering from strange dreams and flashbacks BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN SEXUALLY

ABUSED BY THEIR PARENTS AS CHILDREN AND HAD REPRESSED THOSE MEMORIES. This would become the perfect
way of mis-directing the search for who really victimized these people. Strangely enough, Gloria Steinem teamed up
with Ted Gunderson to forment the Satanic child abuse hysteria as a way to help cover-up the CIAs mind control
experiments on human beings. [Gunderson once bragged about being one of the top FBI COINTELPRO supervisors
during the wipe out of the Black Panther Party in the 60s and 70s.] For the inside story on Steinems operations with
Gunderson read Satans Silence: Ritual Abuse and the Making of a Modern Witch Hunt by Debbie Nathan and Michael
Snedeker (1995).
FACT: In 1975 Gloria Steinem two important feminist leaders, Carol Hanisch and Kathie Sarachild, again accused
Steinem of working for the CIA and directing the movement toward moderation and capitulation. Steinem ignored the
accusations, hoping they would go away, but then noted feminist Betty Friedan implied that a paralysis of leadership
in the movement could be due to the CIA and she demanded that Steinem respond. After three months, Steinem
wrote a six-page letter to feminist publications describing her work with the CIA. I naively thought then that the
ultimate money source didnt matter wrote Steinem, aiming to dispel the charge that she was a government operative.
However, the government WAS INDEED keeping tabs on the feminist movement through female informants paid by
the FBI and CIA and Steinem was a part of that. See THE WORLD SPLIT OPEN: How the Modern Womens Movement
Changed America By Ruth Rosen.
FACT: Heres a list of how the kind of feminism advocated by Gloria Steinem has actually BENEFITED the business
community when it pushed women into the work place:

Women work for less (and Black women work for A LOT LESS).
Women are more docile and less likely to deviate from company policies (and Black women are the most docile
workers of all).
Women are less likely to join labor unions.
By increasing the size of the labor pool, women created more competition for jobs thus reducing wages.
More female workers means more pussy for the boss (Black female executives are notorious for being passed
around among white executivesmainly because their low self-esteem makes them think that such attention is a
compliment. Do you know any white male executives? Talk to them when you get a chance. They use the term instant
pussy when referring to the Black female executives in their companies.).
In two-income families, one person is more likely to work part-time or as a temporary, such workers get paid less and
they dont get benefits.
Taking children away from their mothers at an early age tends to increase their anxiety levels and results in higher
rates of tension-relieving consumption as they grow up (and Black folks have become SUPER consumers, especially
Black women).
The loss of womens household services increases purchases of various forms of fatty fast foods, which have higher
profit levels than home-cooked meals (this has particularly affected Black women: their blubber index has
skyrocketed).
