herstory repeats itself

In 1972's Adventure Comics #418, a women's self defense organization...


...turns out to be a front for something sinister.


In 1994's Captain America #431, a project to champion gender equality by unlocking women's full potential...


...turns out to be a front for something sinister.


In 2007's Countdown to Final Crisis, a seemingly begin women's shelter...


...turns out to be a front for -- surprise, surprise -- something sinister.


In this ever-changing world of ours, it's reassuring to know that there are some constants we can rely upon.

Silicon Teens - Judy in Disguise (from Music for Parties, 1980) - The Silicon Teens were a playful synthpop cover band which acted as a front organization for Mute Records founder Daniel Miller. Miller was also responsible -- as The Normal -- for the Ballardian minimalist electro classic "Warm Leatherette" and through his label released albums by such seminal synthpop outfits such as Yazoo, Erasure, and Depeche Mode.

The conspiracy stretches wider than you could possibly imagine. Trust no one.

To the deleted one who is not worth naming: My blog, my rules. No trolling for you.

zhinxy: Do you know how painful it is to shoot Dr. Pepper through one's nose? I do, after reading your comment while partaking of my favorite beverage.
