This week's theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Desperate Daphne".

Note: I didn't realize this meant the Apollo and Daphne myth until the challenge went live, so I won't enter this there.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38.

This week's theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Enigmatic Paul And Gala Eluard". I missed the challenge for Evolutionary Max Ernst, so my piece is a combination of both themes.

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head
They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon", which made a joke out of the deaths of men, women, and children, offended me, but apparently some thought those deaths were "hilarious", so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Maybe Tom the bully will leave me another comment, telling me to shut up, because I'm not allowed to say anything unless he (and other "Free Speech is fine as long as it agrees with mine" bullies) approves of it.

The Five Eyes State Run News propaganda and lies about the US Government’s War for Israel against Iran are astounding.

In 2024, Trump campaigned on "No New Wars", but he is calling the US Government’s War for Israel against Iran an "Excursion", so he will probably claim that means he did not lie.

Back in 2008, Obama campaigned on "Bringing Home The Troops", but he did not do that. Most of the 2008 "anti-war" people stopped protesting US troops being in Iraq and Afghanistan after Obama was elected.

In 2011, when Obama bombed Libya, Republicans in Congress said Obama needed Congressional approval to bomb Libya, while Democrats in Congress said he did not.

Now, in 2026, while Trump bombs Iran, Democrats in Congress say Trump needs Congressional approval to bomb Iran, while Republicans in Congress say he does not.

Yet most people remain in the Divide And Conquer trap that the Uniparty put them into, and argue with each other, while the 1% Parasites continue enriching themselves.

Uncle Sam's War

Israel and Pakistan can have nuclear bombs, but Iran can not!

7 countries 5 years

Iraq Bush
Libya Obama
Lebanon Biden
Syria Biden
Iran Trump

Coups R US!

1953 Iran Eisenhower
2014 Ukraine Obama
2025 Iran? Trump

If you don't know the historical facts that this cartoon artwork refers to, please move along, because the 1% will tell you there is nothing to see here, and want you to remain in the Divide And Conquer trap that they put you into.

Back in 1989, here in the United States (US), the US Supreme Court ruled that the action of burning the US flag is a Constitutional First Amendment right. (June 21, 1989 ruling)

But now, in 2023, in the US, society approves of bullies like Tom using intimidation tactics to silence those who don’t agree with him, because our society approves of the Government dictating who it is acceptable to vilify, and who it is not. Just like our society approved of the Government dictating what could and could not be said about covid-19. (July 5, 2023 U.S. District Judge grants injunction against federal government's "far-reaching censorship campaign." ) Don’t worry, Tom: I have faith that the US Supreme Court will agree with you and overturn that decision, and rule that censorship by the US Government is good.

My art piece is a play on words, combining a few quotes.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

"History is written by the victors."

"My country, my country, wrong or right, my country!"

and now my own quote: "It’s all in the words of the Narrator…"

Wow, just wow. Bloomberg News February 4, 2022 Live: Russia invades Ukraine

Reported live when it had not happened (yet?).

Bloomberg News retracted the headline about 30 minutes later.

It's like a deja vu.

BBC News September 11, 2001 World Trade Center Building #7 has collapsed

Reported live when it had not happened yet.

Now I have to wonder if the Bloomberg News report will become true in the near future, just like the BBC News report did.

Everything I have stated in this post is FACT. And I'm sure anyone who is interested can still find that BBC News video, because Social Media never censors facts. Interestingly, the live BBC News feed cut out just before World Trade Center Building #7 (WTC7) collapsed in the background behind the reporter, who had announced its collapse about 20 minutes or so before it actually happened.

False Flag Alert 2022/02/04

This is a Warning from the False Flag Alert Early Warning System (FFAEWS): The FFAEWS puts the next week at a 5% chance of a False Flag Event (FFE) occurring in or near the Russia / Ukraine border. Watch for "fake dead bodies" and "crisis actors".

As with all potential FFEs, be aware of your surroundings at all times, and be mindful of agent provocateurs, undercover Government agents (i.e. "Evil" Russians) creating entrapment cases, etc., in crowd situations.

As some would say, what a time to be alive!

And if, as others say, life imitates art, at what point will someone say a country, that shall remain nameless, has jumped the shark?

It's all fun and games until...
