Ever since I was a kid I’ve wondered what the hell happened to all those beautifully carved ancient statues with their noses, eyes and extremities chopped off. Then I studied the history of the Roman Empire and discovered the sad truth: it was the Christians that done it! Christianity did not grow from quiet proselytizing […]
Jan van Eyck’s THE ANNUNCIATION [1434-36] and the MERODE ALTARPIECE [1425-28] by Robert Campin [with the help of an unknown assistant] have many similarities in both subject and content, yet there are several other aspects of the paintings which are unique. The subject in both works is essentially the same: the Annunciation from the biblical […]
To no one’s surprise, the rogue Supreme Court came to yet another radical decision this week when it decided 6-3 to overturn Roe v Wade. The highest court in the USA is now governed not by The Constitution – but by the fairy tales in some 2,000 year old book. The three most recent appointees […]
In the USA we have something called the MONROE DOCTRINE, which of course forbids any foreign power from placing military forces ANYWHERE in the Western Hemisphere. Remember how freaked out everyone was during the Cuban missile crisis? From that point on, no other nation has been allowed to put weapons in our ‘backyard.’ Imagine if […]
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:”I drink, therefore I am”-Monty Python, The Philosophers Song In his famous treatise Meditation six, Rene Descartes struggles to come to grips with the material world and how we perceive it. He explores the causal relationship between mind and body. Descartes manages to convince himself that he does indeed […]
Infamous French reprobate Marquis de Sade’s Philosophy in the Bedroom is a radical statement of intent. In the wake of the French Revolution, de Sade [1740-1814] makes his case for absolute freedom and equality, and he makes it very clear that as far as he is concerned, there can never be any individual freedom until […]
US “president” Joltin’ Joe Biden hosted a ‘Summit for Democracy’ this week. With about 110 hand-picked world leaders in attendance for his virtual Summit for Democracy, Biden sounded the alarm over the rising tide of authoritarianism. The “president” conceded that the endeavor was less of a magic bullet than an attempt to the start a […]
Like, why is there no ‘JFK Remembrance Day?’ Why is there nothing at all to commemorate this date? We commemorate 9-11 every goddam year. Why not JFK? The Power Elite hated President Kennedy and everything he stood for. While the rest of the world mourned his horrible death, they were celebrating. But the horrendous tragedy […]
If historians really want to understand why Umerkins are so fucking retarded and easily duped by disinformation and “fake news,” they need to look no further than what happened in 1987 when “president” Ronnie Raygun’s treasonous administration killed off the Fairness Doctrine. Introduced in 1949, the Fairness Doctrine was a policy created by the Federal […]
It is not just the electoral process in America that makes our democracy a sham; it’s what our legislators do once they are actually in office that makes our democracy a sham. Coal, Oil & Gas shill Joe Manchin and minimum wage killer Kirsten Sinema aren’t centrists. They are obstructionists. The ‘system’ they work for […]
