Feminist Writer Slams Katy Perry Video Paying Tribute to Servicewomen as ‘Propaganda for the Marines’

Naomi Wolf, a prominent feminist writer who managed to get arrested during the Occupy Wall Street protests last year, has a new bone to pick; Katy Perry’s “Part of Me” music video. Why? Because it’s “a total piece of propaganda for the Marines.”
The video features Perry dressed and training as a Marine to celebrate female empowerment and an “affirmation of strength,” by paying particular tribute to service women.
The author of “The Beauty Myth” is not a fan and is calling for a boycott of the pop star.
“I really want to find out if she was paid by them for making it,” Wolf wrote on her Facebook page. “It is truly shameful … I would suggest a boycott of this singer whom I really liked — if you are as offended as this glorification of violence as I am.”
Hollywood publicist Angie Meyer told The Daily Mail that “Naomi Wolf is a living, breathing contradiction. Her anti-military sentiments against the men and women fighting to defend the freedoms she exercises regularly, speech and protest, is absurd and disturbingly disgraceful.”
Perry told MTV last week that ”This is one of the most aggressive videos I have ever done.”
“It is an affirmation of strength, so I wanted to go the strongest route I could.”

That garbage eating feminazi probably thinks our soldiers like getting shot at. She has certainly never actually considered the sacrifice they are making for her freedom to eat garbage and regurgitate it in the form of writing.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 10:25pmNaomi Wolf does not deserve the freedoms she abuses with abandon…
Zell Miller said it so elegantly at the 2004 RNC convention,
“Never in the history of the world has any soldier sacrificed more for the freedom and liberty of total strangers than the American soldier. And, our soldiers don’t just give freedom abroad, they preserve it for us here at home.
For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.”

Posted on March 31, 2012 at 12:56pmThe Military swears an oath to DEFEND the Constitution, not puppet dictators, opium fields, and oil pipelines.
Unfortunately the US military has become the strong arm of the central banking cartels that overthrow sovereign nations through the World Bank, the IMF, and other institutions that implode their economies on purpose through their loansharking practices.
Just look at Saddam. We put him in power (via assassination), funded and equipped him for war with Iran, and then were selling Iran weapons through the back door. (Iran Contra scandal)
Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. They were destroyed because Saddam had wandered off the reservation and was planning to sell his oil in return for something OTHER than US petro backed dollars.
Bottom line is, if you don’t play ball with the global mafia, you get put on the list and taken down.
Here is Gen. Wesley Clark ADMITTING there were plans to invade 7 Middle Eastern countries in 5 years. They’re a little behind schedule, but plans are moving forward nonetheless.

The meat grinder needs fresh meat. Recruiting is at an all time low. Troop suicides are at an all time high. They are having trouble even getting the ghetto gang members to sign up, so WOMEN are the new targets, and Katy Perry is just a tool to help guide them into the grinder.
If you don’t realize this was a 4 minute commercial for the Marines, then there is probably no hope for you.

George Bernard Shaw once wrote, “We sleep safe in our beds at night because somewhere in the world rough men are willing to do violence in our names.” Since the Women Marines (Then the Marinettes….) were formed during WWI, our Corps has also been comprised of some pretty tough and dedicated women as well. “Women Marines: Fewer.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 7:47pmTwo Thoughts:
First. isn’t Naomi Wolf the adviser that was trying to teach Al Gore how to be more masculine?
Second, if the music video is propaganda for the Marines what is wrong with it? If the marines are a good organization, there can’t be anything wrong with supporting them. Of the marines are bad, Naomi shouldn’t be just calling out Kate Perry. Naomi should be campaigning to defund them. Calling out Kate perry without voraciously calling out the Marines is cowardly. Were the Marines a force for good in WWII or the Korean War? If they were not a good organization during the Vietnam War who sent them to Vietnam? LBJ did. Do the Marines have a perfect record? No. Show me who does. The Red Army raped 140,000 women in 1945. During WWII, the French had foreign troops that had raping & looting as part of their contract.
Before you criticize American troops & compare them to other countries, consider which other armies have been in large wars, prolonged combat or subjected to grueling psychological stress. Such stress would be having to adhere to the Geneva Conventions & varying absurd ROE for years while the enemy does not.
Do you realize that in the last 2 decades Russian has leveled whole cities with artillery. How many civilians were killed. The same media & pundits which ignore Grozny but lambaste the U.S. if a few bombs are off course.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 7:51pmIn Afghanistan there was a case where a soldier fell out of helicopters & was obviously disabled & unable to fight. The Taliban killed him anyway. This is on top of all the other Geneva convention violations in Iraq & Afghanistan. It has an effect on soldiers. But liberals, like Naomi, only count the misdeeds of one side.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 7:25pmWhat a patriotic tribute. I loved the video and see it more as an empowerment to women, which I thought this so-called feminist was for. What is wrong with giving a positive message about those that serve our country and allow for the freedoms being taken for granted by Naomi?
My daughter went to college on a scholarship she earned but the rest was paid by the army (she pushed off going to college for one year and joined the Army Reserves). Her boot camp training gave her confidence and set her on a new course – to become a doctor. After college with no debt she transferred to the Navy and went to medical school. She is now in her third year of residency. If it was not for the military, she never would have seen her potential. Isn’t that what feminists are suppose to support – empowering women and getting them to realize their worth? For my daughter, the military did just that.

Posted on March 30, 2012 at 7:22pm“offended as this glorification of violence as I am” Really? This violence is what has made it possible for Wolf to speak her mind, for her as a woman to have rights, for her to live in freedom and safety. There is a reason we have the strongest military, there is a reason why Americans have the highest living standards, the most freedoms, and the most opportunities. Could this be military propaganda to get people to join? Perhaps, but I have no problem with our military’s ranks getting a boost!
