"See You After Jail Guys": Art World Stunned After Man Eats $120,000 Banana Duct Taped To Wall | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 40734584 New Zealand 12/08/2019 01:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The "artist" is a no-talent leftist hack & the exorbitant purchase price is to patronize them & wage a culture war against true art. The Soviet Union was notorious for this. Art was grotesque & displeasing to the eye, architecture was drab & featureless, landscapes were bleak & lifeless, etc. Quoting: XeroGravity Crush self-expression by creating ugliness & a fear of beauty.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78105856 Peel back the layers, bet you there's money laundering going on. You know - 'yeah, I got that 120k for a legit artwork, nothing to do with da mello yello' Yes that's the case, no other explanation possible. Miles W Mathis has a lot of essays about it, all his stuff is good and worth reading: [link to www.mileswmathis.com] sorry I just woke up and didn't take time to find a specific article on the subject of money laundering in the "art" world. |

"Modern art", just like publishing, is used to launder millions The first time I heard that lucrative book deals, such as "memoirs" when politicians leave office, are actually covert payments for services rendered, I was shocked. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78171793 artists and entertainers are the most powerful people in america lol.... . Your own power to create art is the only thing that can stand up to theirs. Jon Rappoport writes about how at the very top, the invisible "them" who are pushing all these destructive agendas for total control, are artists creating the type of (dystopian) society that benefits them. If you use your creative powers to invent and manifest a new kind of society theirs will wither away. I don't know what else would do it except everyone each individually deciding what they really want and making it happen. "Fighting back" is what they want - if you build your life around what "they" are doing, protesting and working against it, you've been co-opted out of creating anything new and better (just my opinion and offered for further discussion). |
