The Propaganda is Making Us Anxious and Half Human and Afraid 2024. Acrylic on cardboard, 16 x 16"
“It is not complicated to be against the mass murder of children or the mass starvation of people. It is the simplest, dullest moral and intellectual task anyone would ever be required to do. You need no propaganda machine for that. It is, however, complicated to be for the mass murder of children, or for mass starvation of people. This requires tons of explaining, coercion, intimidation, and censorship.”
—Alon Mizrahi
All these silly funny “No Kings” marches and not a scrap of improvement for any grandmother in a wheel chair or heart beat of a five-year-old Palestinian. The United States is weak. It’s people, pathetic children, clumping behind their chosen bully. Year after year, notching belts without a single demand beyond “get rid of Orange Man”. Not to be geopolitically unfair, they’re stupid in France too. In 2012 I sat at a French table where the hosts thought the world was going to end if Mitt Romney got elected. Sure, the majority there for supper were English and American. But it was French soil. The ghosts of real revolution should have been on guard for such blatant acts of passive stupidity.
I’ve spent two years keeping my self sane throughout the genocide, while everyone around me watched and listened to whatever the propagandists had to say. The talking heads on TV (you know which station you like most), and the reporters at Jeff Bezo’s Penis Rocket Post and The New York Times of Zionism. The majority of lookers and readers might not have believed a word, but it got them to keep quiet and support their favorite blue or red murdering bully. The poor artist, while witness to ethnic cleansing and genocide, made paintings, published a book, ranted endlessly to his coping wife, and came to the realization that propaganda works, but as Caitlin Johnstone writes, it ain’t magic. Its onslaught across all profit-media did not prevent me from calling out atrocities funded by myself, friends and family. My witness, added to a million other cries from people of conscience but no consequence, has forced Canada to abide with the ICC ruling. (There are 125 member states required to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant upon entering their countries by land, sea or air.) The propaganda machine is broke. Still, I believe nation’s governments are just covering their asses with blood-moppy hands. Make no mistake, Canada is genocide too. All countries are besides Yemen. What propaganda gambled on and lost this time around was the unspoken “faith in nations” clause that has held earth wide oligarchy in charge for the last 80 years. The new age is coming and disgusting Israel will get its comeuppance. Its premise is gross and the majority of its people are worse than disgusting for enabling it.
Other countries are breaking too. It’s only a matter of time before the oligarchs’ heads lop off.
The Last Child Soul of Gaza to Value Your Opinion 2023. Oil on canvas, 20 x 16"
Americans? Just too stupid with trucks (or fake-liberal Saturday brunch equivalent) to give a damn about grandma, atmosphere, or genocide. But the phony country still needs to get wasted, and it will—hopefully its nukes covered up and drained of enriched uranium asap. Americans poop on everything, but what else should a world expect from a slobbering nation sucking 25% of the earth’s resources to fill their 4% milkfat bellies?
To remind readers. There is a genocide still going on, no matter what the talking heads say. Have you seen pictures of Gaza? Have you even looked?
Since October 7, 2023, I have made 261 paintings specifically about genocide in Palestine. That is how many children are murdered by Israel (and all nations besides Yemen) every 9 days since then. I published a book of essays that no one has had any interest in. I can’t even give it away. This is less of a pity party for me than a wake up call to everyone. I’m bugling down humanoid ear canals. If I (we) were able to convince Canada that Netanyahu needs a rope to drop into, then please, I beg, do your best to turn off the propaganda. If you don’t have an opinion, don’t wait for the paid shit show to provide one. Just go off dumbly and crank whatever engine you use to catalyze our dissolution.
For those who agree that it might be time to turn off the television lies you were taught to believe in since mommy spread your favorite jelly on bread, teach your gut to know the enemy is anyone who will get you, grandma, Wilma of Oxnard, or a Palestinian child killed. As far as nations go… Waste Israel first. It’s the second most disgusting cult-nut at the present time. I won’t mention (again) who’s first until I get my hidden cabin in the woods, far away from the population centers.
