This article by Miles Mathis, first published on April 20, 2020, analyzes an article by Lucy Clarke in The Guardian about experiencing social media criticism for her appearance on University Challenge. Mathis argues that Clarke’s account is a staged operation, part of a larger project by intelligence agencies and global financiers to divide the sexes for profit.
Mathis claims Clarke’s observations about her critics being “old men” are fabricated, and that women are well-represented on University Challenge. He suggests that the criticism, including that directed at Gail Trimble in 2009, is not genuine sexism but manufactured “agitprop” from government entities like MI6 and CIA. He posits that these entities are behind programs like “Operation Chaos” and the “MAP (Men-are-Pigs)” project, designed to emasculate men, sow discord, and encourage consumerism driven by loneliness and dissatisfaction.
Mathis theorizes that Lucy Clarke herself may be an agent, citing her clarke family lineage, which he connects to numerous influential figures and aristocratic titles, including Baronets of Salford, Baronets of Rupertswood, Baronets of Dunham Lodge, Baronets of Snailwell, Barons of Stone-cum-Ebony, Barons of Hampstead, and Baroness Anelay of St. Johns. He also links her family to The Stanleys, Spencer-Churchills, Lindsays, Middletons, Erskines, Montagues, Douglases, Eyres, St. Johns, Gordons, Roosevelts, Stewarts, Adams, Pitts, FitzRoys, Cholmondeleys, Vaughans, Campbells, Owens, Tates, Grahams, Gibbs, Hoares, Howards, Haughtons, Herberts, Russells, Dunhams, Grants, Molyneux, Dowlings, Walkers, Stevensons, Turners, and Forbes. He points out notable individuals named Clarke, such as Col. William Clarke (MI5), Gen. Sir Charles Clarke (Governor of Malta), Baron George Clarke (British Empire League chairman, Governor of Bombay), Sir Charles Clarke (Swiss Bank Corp. director), Sir Rupert Clarke (National Australia Bank chairman), Charles Clarke (Home Secretary), Kenneth Clarke (Home Secretary, Chancellor of Exchequer), Baroness Anelay (House of Lords International Relations Committee Chair), Admiral Peter Clarke (Joint Task Force Guantanamo Commanding Officer), and Phil Clarke (Channel 4 comedy head). He also mentions Theodora Roosevelt Clarke, an MP and relative of Jacob Rees Mogg.
Mathis further notes Clarke’s academic work on “Public Men on Public Stages: the Performance of State Authority by Magistrates” and her presentations on domestic violence, suggesting she may be lecturing on an ancestor. He examines her Twitter page, claiming it spreads disinformation about Covid-19 and NHS numbers, and indicates she is a lesbian, reinforcing his “men-hating” narrative.
He concludes by stating that the “MAP project” is orchestrated by “big bankers and merchants” to create misery and drive consumerism. He asserts that women are equally, if not more, targeted as psychological guinea pigs, manipulated into believing men are pigs to create a societal split. Mathis uses a shooting incident in Nova Scotia involving Const. Heidi Stevenson and Gabriel Wortman as further evidence of manufactured events designed to support this narrative, suggesting the fake death toll and questionable details surrounding Wortman’s identity point to the same orchestrators. He believes the phasing out of the coronahoax suggests a return to staged mass shootings.
