"Spin The Wheel Of Propaganda News" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon" offended me, but apparently some thought it was "funny" 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.

Spin The Wheel Of Propaganda News

When Obama was President of the United States, that is when I first noticed that News reporting was like a spinning wheel of topics. When the wheel stopped spinning, whatever topic was pointed to became what every Five Eyes News channel / website discussed.

Each "spin the wheel" topic was covered for one day or longer, then the wheel was spun again, and a new topic replaced it. Because the News can only report on one topic at a time.

Maybe the News was always that way, and I didn’t notice it.

During the Obama years, sometimes the Kardashian melodrama became "front page" News, when it should have been in the Entertainment section. Now, during Trump President Term 2, the Kardashians have been replaced with the Beckham melodrama, which serves the same purpose.

Recently, the News topic was Iran, then that got replaced with Greenland. This week was a "bye week" because of the annual, week long WEF (World Economic Forum) Davos meeting. (Search Assistant: "A bye week in football refers to a scheduled break during the regular season when a team does not play any games. This allows players to rest, recover from injuries, and prepare for upcoming matches.")

Maybe this weekend, while a large swath of the United States is reeling under a major Winter snow storm, Trump will bomb Iran, spinning them back into the News topic du jour.

Hate trumps love
Malice trumps kindness

For all those born beneath a cursed star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are

"Cherub Flame Thrower" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Edgy." Except the meaning was to "focus on the edges and not the centre of the postcard" so this doesn't match the theme.

The devil can be better seen in the second cherub piece here.

I may or may not post this for the challenge. This is one of three in a set that I am loosely calling a Cherub Triptych.
