The Tel Aviv Museum of “Art” has an interesting exhibit called “Fake?” It’s an exploration of various forms of fakery in art, from some of the most notorious Vermeer forgeries by Han van Meegeren to phony archaeological artifacts. I recently went to see the exhibit, and it was, to my surprise, an interesting and thought-provoking meditation on the question and definition of fakery in art.

One of the things that caught my eye was a deconstruction of a famous photograph of Theodor Herzl meeting Kaiser Willheim II on October 28, 1898 outside an agricultural school in Mikveh Israel in what was then Palestine. (Herzl, you’ll remember, is regarded as the father of the modern Zionist movement and makes an appearnce, along with some fishy photos and other red flags, in my paper pulling back the curtain on the Dreyfus Affair hoax.)

The exhibit showed that this famous picture was actually a fake, created by splicing and dicing two different pictures. Here is the famous one:  Continue reading “Fauxtography inside the Matrix” →

Time Magazine has a penchant for giving us the enemies du jour of the empire in a most frightening fashion, almost caricature. Sometimes they even use parts of the word “Time” as devil’s horns, as above. I’ve seen on Facebook that Steve Bannon is scaring people, and this cover by Time confirms that something is up. Time is always lockstep with the latest propaganda push.They are using him as a scarecrow.

See below the fold for a rogue’s gallery of Time covers over the years.

We were surprised recently by the Miles Mathis post about our website, and so stayed silent. I take this opportunity to address some of his remarks. He criticized three writers here. I’ll address only his remarks about me in addition to vigorously defending our work here at Piece of Mindful.

Before doing so, I want to make this clear: This man solved some of the big riddles of the twentieth century and exposed the inner workings of the Intelligence community, and I admire that. We have always supported him here. That he interprets support as “blackwashing” is unfortunate.

The writers and friends of this blog spend a lot of time unraveling the past. It is fun, like being handed a brand new Sherlock Holmes mystery every day. There is no shortage. Without reliance on authority, eschewing groupthink and ignoring ridicule, we have developed eyes to see the real world around us and can easily spot fakery now. It’s always after the fact, but we do spot it.

And there is so much more in store, God willing and the creek don’t rise. If only … we could turn our gaze forward and see what is coming.

This is off the beaten path, just something nice for us to enjoy.

A few years back my wife and I had a chance to see the Colorado Symphony perform Beethoven’s Ninth Choral Symphony, Ode to Joy. My wife has long loved classical music and in our twenty-one years together she has watched me move closer and closer to it, to her delight. That performance that day was so rich, so well performed, that when it was over the house exploded, genuine cheers and shouts of appreciation as I have never experienced before. No rock concert can come close.

We are going back to see it performed again in a couple of weeks. I am pumped. In the meantime I ran across the video that follows beneath the fold, “10000 singing Beethoven – Ode an die Freude_Ode to Joy.” I know nothing about it, but with over 8 million views, no doubt readers here are familiar and can fill me in.

Enjoy, and if you are short of time, cheat and jump ahead to minute six leading up to that part of the movement where the conductor jumps out of his suit. The same thing happened with the Colorado Symphony.

My brief once-weekly sojourn to Huffington Post: Supposedly a majority of Americans want the Electoral College vote tomorrow postponed due to the interference by the Russians. (The poll, sponsored by some group called “Avaaz” is like the election itself fake.) Hillary Clinton supposedly won the popular vote by perhaps three million. Since no votes were counted, that is part of a script.

What does it mean? I don’t have a crystal ball, but there is a game at play.

For one, with electronic voting machines in  place everywhere now, there is no assurance that any votes were counted, much less accurately. They can stage an entire election without even counting one vote. The “recounts” are staged to assure us that the original counts are real, that too part of the hoax. (How can there be a “re”count when there was never a “count”?)

For another, the office of president is long reduced to a mere ribbon-cutting post held by actors. The Russians know this, and they know that our elections, like theirs, are fake. So the idea that they would interfere is high comedy. They’ve got to be looking on in wonder at this cuckoo’s nest.

That leaves us to guess what is really going on here. Have at it please. I am stumped.

This is meant to be a primer for first-time visitors to this website. We are a stable of six writers (at this writing), four active and two not, and we search for truth. That may sound like a conceit, as if we have some special mission in life. We do not. We are simply people with active minds and of a curious nature. We want to know what’s up.

I am going to keep this short. I have no photos, no revelations. I am merely hoping to stimulate a conversation about the election.

My question: What’s up their sleeves?

It is pointless to guess about the future with the kings of gamesmanship. I only know what I have seen is absurd. We were given two of the worst candidates in history, a statement in itself. But something even weirder is going on.

Antonin Scalia faked his death. If absence of a body does not clue you in on that, I cannot help you. More curious still is the refusal to fill the ninth seat on the court. They say it is partisan haggling, but that is easily seen as nonsense, since we only have one party.

The Supreme Court operates as the final word of the ruling class, when all of the other fake legal processes fail. It is our equivalent of the British House of Lords. If they cannot pass a bad law, they decree it. (It took all of four[teen] years for the original intent of the Constitution’s authors to be perverted by Marbury v Madison.)

So now we have a rigged election on Tuesday, easily thrown either way by the black boxes. We have two bad candidates, one threatening to publicly expose the fake nature of the process. We have a gelded Congress of no use. And we have a potential deadlock if the election is thrown to the Supreme Court.

What’s up their sleeves?
