“I am not overstating this, I can't say it forcefully enough, this is literally the end of human liberty in the West if this plan [of vaccine passports] unfolds...”
Naomi Wolf (29 March 2021)  [1]

Dr Naomi R. Wolf is an American feminist author, journalist and former political advisor to Al Gore and Bill Clinton. Wolf's career in journalism has included topics such as abortion and the Occupy Wall Street movement. Her Wikipedia article is of high interest to Philip Cross. At the beginning of March 2021, four of her social media accounts were cancelled at the same time.[2]

Opinions

Naomi Wolf is highly sceptical of the US government's claims and those of other governments, leading Vox to publish an article on "The insane conspiracy theories of Naomi Wolf" which urged readers to beware of her "newer conspiracy theories, which are unhinged, damaging, and dangerous."[3]

Singapore Model

Naomi Wolf has highlighted the Singapore Economic Model, in which capitalism and consumerism are promoted but which has zero civil liberties, suggesting that global corporations are aiming to install this type of system worldwide.[4]

"War on Terror"

Wolf is highly critical of the "War on Terror", and has denounced it as a fraud. She was widely criticised for suggesting that some of the ISIS beheading videos might not have been authentic.[3]

Ebola

After the 2014 Ebola event Naomi Wolf suggested that US troops may not have been sent to Liberia to help fight Ebola, but to further the aim of a "militarized Africa" and because this "creates a direct vector into the US" for Ebola.[5]

Scottish referendum

Naomi Wolf wrote to Karim Aziz of the Scottish Electoral Commission.[6]

COVID-19

Wolf tweeted that vaccines were a "software platform that can receive uploads" and compared Fauci to Satan. She was banned from Twitter on 6 June for "vaccine misinformation".[7]

God's people

On 25 July 2014, Naomi Wolf posted on Facebook:

Okay, so I was challenged below:

"Read the Bible! God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people."

So....I may get crucified for this but I have started to say it -- most recently (terrified, trembling) to warm welcome in a synagogue in Los Angeles:

"Actually if you read Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy in Hebrew -- as I do -- you see that God did not 'give' Israel to the Jews/Israelites. We as Jews are raised with the creed that 'God gave us the land of Israel' in Genesis -- and that ethnically 'we are the chosen people'."

But actually -- and I could not believe my eyes when I saw this, I checked my reading with major scholars and they confirmed it -- actually God's "covenant" in Genesis, Exodus and Deuteronomy with the Jewish people is NOT ABOUT AN ETHNICITY AND NOT ABOUT A CONTRACT. IT IS ABOUT A WAY OF BEHAVING.

Again and again in the "covenant" language, He never says:

"I will give you, ethnic Israelites, the land of Israel."

Rather, He says something far more radical - far more subversive -- far more Godlike in my view. He says:

"IF you visit those imprisoned...act mercifully to the widow and the orphan...welcome the stranger in your midst...tend the sick...do justice and love mercy...and perform various other tasks...THEN YOU WILL BE MY PEOPLE AND THIS LAND WILL BE YOUR LAND."

So "my people" is not ethnic -- it is transactional. We are God's people not by birth but by a way of behaving, that is ethical, kind and just. And we STOP being "God's people" when we are not ethical, kind and just.

And ANYONE who is ethical, kind and just is, according to God in Genesis, "God's people."

And the "contract" to "give" us Israel is conditional -- we can live in God's land IF we are "God's people" in this way -- just, merciful, compassionate. AND -- it never ever says, it is ONLY your land.

Even when passages spell out geographical "boundaries" as if God does such a thing, it never says this is exclusively your land. It never says I will give this land JUST to you. Remember these were homeless nomads who had left slavery in Egypt and were wandering around in the desert; at most these passages say, settle here, but they do not say, settle here exclusively.

Indeed again and again it talks about welcoming "zarim" -- translated as "strangers" but can also be translated as "people/tribes who are not you" -- in your midst.

Blew my mind, hope it blows yours.[8]

Criticism

In 2022 Naomi Klein published Doppelganger: A Trip Into the Mirror World, a 416 page criticism of Naomi Wolf, which was lauded by commercially-controlled media.
