Allegedly Israel has nukes; at what point will they use them?
The Yahoo is unhinged; and out of control…
Pray to whatever god you follow this gets resolved without war…The Israelis treat the Palestinians the way the Germans treated the Jews in WWII; they have become the enemy they were fighting……karma’s a bitch…
Pablo Picasso Self portrait with palette 1906
I often wonder just how much of our daily reality is actually considered?
Leonardo da Vinci A Copse of Trees 1508
Pretty amazing painting; all things considered or even nothing considered…
I like it a lot……Jan van Eyck Saint Barbara 1437
What a magnificient piece of work by van Eyck…astounding in it detail…
…and the young woman appears to have a very large writting quill in her hand…her left hand I might add…We are living in very sick times; most especially if one lives in the west (US, & EU ).
It is a very big world out there and there are places not yet infected…what are you waiting for?Rene Magritte Memory 1944
I love Magritte; a good friend gifted me a gorgeous coffee table book of Magritte’s work.
“Memory” seems a study in Red…with a really bad vibe for the right side eye of the woman…The ‘Cold war’, COVID and ‘Climate Change’ are all excuses to impose dictatorial powers but are based on exaggeration and lies.
Well DUH!!!
Most of us are far ahead of this missive……..
You might want to up your game a bit………Prussia also had a huge influence on the western educational system as we know it today; a legacy few realize.
Many of us view this with scorn; the failure of western education is with us to this day…in spades…Claude Monet O Rio (The River) 1881
What a mess…
I find nothing to admire re-Claude Monet O Rio (The River) 1881
…and so it goes……….René Magritte The Art of Conversation 1963
I knew that was a Magritte the instant I layed eyes upon it…
The Art of Conversation; wonderful…made my day, it did………..We’re so screwed! We’re blasted with lies 24/7/365 about everything; nothing is too small to be ignored/left to chance…
TAE is a refuge where we can catch our breathe between attacks…….but, we must remain vigilant at every step; trust nothing, even TAE, without doing you’re due diligance……….
At some point I fear TAE will be swarmed with/by the galoots to rid us of this bastion of truth….@ Michael Reid
Having been a debt monkey until about 2003; I would rate debt as the single biggest control factor for most USians…
It also factors in hugely here in the Land of Smiles for most citizens, unfortunately.If you were raised on bologna,drank Coke, played in the dirt, got my butt spanked, etc., etc. ………
Damn straight/right!
I can’t even imagine growing up in today’s world…it is anti-life……………Gustave Dore Dante and Virgil among the late penitents 1868
The art lately is very dark; but matches exquisitley with our lived reality…
Gustave Dore Dante and Virgil among the late penitents 1868 • Tucker Carlson: The People Who Run America Are “Dangerous And Insane”
Wow; he actually said it; good for him………
….but really bad for us…
I left 20 years ago; I do not feel safe…
…but I feel much better than if I had stayed……..Gustave Dore Dante and The Ninth Circle of Hell (Treachery) 1857
Todays art seems especially relevant; Treachery is a most vile act and is a frequent part of todays world…both in the day-to-day; and the world at large…we need to proceed very cautiously in our daily lives….
Ivan Aivazovsky Sea channel with lighthouse 1873
Another awesome work of wonder; mercy, Aivazovsky is…words fail…
Thanks Ilargi…Jessie Willcox Smith From The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald 1920
Even the shadow of the hand of the princes strikes fear into the goblins…
I think there is a message there…duh?????????I must say; I find the gloating here over death and destruction very disturbing…
The arm chair warriors here display a level of hubris and hypocracy I find unsettling even in these trying times…
Not a very encouraging attitude on a path to the future…In every tank there sit some men belovéd by their kith and kin.
When it explodes those young men die and cause those kith and kin to cry.Yes, so true…
I said similar a number of months back…crickets…
Our media, starved of intellect, revels in war porn. Youtube brings it right into your livingroom.
Almost never is there a dissenting word on the carnage/death wrought by our ghoulish media…
The price of this, paid for by the viewer, is a steady erosion of our collective humanity…
The Age of Death/War covers the earth…Edward Hopper Chair Car 1965
The woman on the left is looking at the woman on the right…
What does that signify? That seat car is pretty empty…The electric car is a scam..
You couldn’t get me to give up my diesel/gas vehicals unless you put a gun to my head!
…and even then I would resist………
Good luck suckers………@ T-Bear #140414
Most all the population spend their existence well within the small boxes of their lives, never venturing much beyond the immediate horizon of that box. Alien to them is anything beyond that horizon and alien is equivilent, well , to alien, foreign, unknown or unknowable, dangerous.Boy oh boy; you nailed it!
As with you, I know first hand the truth of that.
Fear rules most of the western populations as near as I can tell…
Fear is the ultimate tool of control and the object of that fear doesn’t even need to be tangible…
Nuclear War No Worse Than Climate Change – Blinken (RT)
That encapsulates nicely the morons leading the U.S. government and the western world!
May the gods help us through the coming travails………..The war porn is flooding the intertubes.
The dark side of humanity is titillated by all the real time murder and mayhem, the inevitable result of a system that glorifies all sides in ongoing conflict…
What’s forgotten is that for every televised bomb/missile strike, somebodies brother, son, husband or friend is killed or maimed in that realtime, surrealistic “entertainment”…
Be careful out there; your mental health/humanity is being torn assunder in that very same realtime reportage’…………
