Why the warmongering CIA supported 'feminist' icon Gloria Steinem

About this episode

Liberal feminist icon Gloria Steinem, a close ally of warmonger Hillary Clinton, has passed away at age 92. What many people don't know is that she was a CIA agent. Ben Norton explains how the CIA has cultivated a pro-imperialist, anti-communist "compatible left", who spread propaganda portraying the US empire as a "progressive" force, while the USA oppresses the Global South, waging nonstop wars and organizing countless coups d'etat.
