are swooning over DD will fall for all of this social programming.
That is the group Hedges is warning us about. We have warnings by the JBS daughter posted here by Triana about them and they control media of many kinds.
If you've ever read Michelle Goldberg's
Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism it explains the reasons. The full review from Salon:

This stuff is real, and it's turning part of a younger generation, the one Nordquist brags about, into fascists. Plus the two Pauls and their Libertarian movement.
Was looking on youtube to find who is also in bed with the DD, such as Bryan Fischer who most will recall with disgust. Another video I found is of DD patriarch doing the spiel most repeated, which he soon turns into a duck call sales session in a church. It is the most puerile use of the pulpit I've ever seen, and I've seen a bit on cable networks and even CSPAN.
I can post the Fischer one, where he does the teaser with some Bible verses, then shows by the light in his eyes, is his one true love, Libertarianism. He then adds DD to back up his 'see, everyone agrees' claim fascists always use.
If anyone doesn't get that this is from the big money, Koch brother funding this fraud, the DD and Fischer who are nothing but actors playing a role for gulls, I don't know what to tell them but just RIP
They'll never know what hit them until it is way too late. We mock these guys to blow up our egos which doesn't get anything done but harden them against reason. And guess what, they ain't going anywhere.

The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World
In this groundbreaking work of investigative journalism by the author of the New York Times bestseller Kingdom Coming, Michelle Goldberg exposes the global war on women's reproductive rights and its disastrous and unreported consequences for the future of global development.
Women's rights are often treated as mere appendages to great questions of war, peace, poverty, and economic development. But as networks of religious fundamentalists, feminists, and bureaucrats struggle to remake sexual and childbearing norms worldwide, the battle to control women's bodies has become a high-stakes enterprise, with the United States often supporting the most reactionary forces.
In a work of incisive cultural analysis and deep reporting, Michelle Goldberg shows how the emancipation of women has become the key human rights struggle of the twenty-first century. The Means of Reproduction travels through four continents, examining issues such as abortion, female circumcision, and Asia's missing girls to show how the battle over women's bodies has been globalized and how, too often, the United States has joined sworn enemies such as Iran and Sudan in an axis of repression. Reporting with unique insight from both the rarefied realm of international policy and from individual women's lives, Goldberg elucidates the economic, demographic, and health consequences of women's oppression, which affect more than half the world's population.
As The Means of Reproduction reveals, the conflict between self-determination and patriarchal tradition has come to define pressing questions of global development. Empowering women is the key to retarding the progress of AIDS, curbing overpopulation, and helping the third world climb out of poverty, but attempts to improve women's status elicit fierce opposition from conservatives who see women's submission as key to their own national or religious identity.
From the anticommunist genesis of America's attempts to stem population growth in poor countries to the current worldwide attack on women's rights as a decadent Western imposition, Goldberg explores the interplay between the great issues of our time and the politics of sex and childbearing. Finally, The Means of Reproduction shows how women, strengthened by a solidarity that transcends borders, are fighting for freedom.

I can't find what else I was writing on, but this was also on NPR. It is part of a GOP global strategy to reduce human beings to units of production.
We've already seen with globalization, companies have used their global techniques to feed off the middle class of different countries for their taxes and knowledge base, and devoured their poor for cheap labor, building up their wealth.
National sovereignty no longer exists under that system. They want women reduced to concubines for profit and using religion and other social forces that cannot be discussed at DU to degrade women to force them into this.
They are preparing what I see as a Brave New World of alphas, betas, deltas and gammas without the scientific technology, but by social engineering. As that is accomplished, they will introduce production of desired and undesired traits used for different kinds of work.
I see the image of the DD, as not the actors who are playing a part for dollars, to encourage acceptable of this lowly state of being that will eventually be reduced to the level of grunting pigs. There is a reason for media pushing this, and it's not about the first amendment or god or being populist.
JMHO.
