"Dark Romeo And Juliet" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

A few weeks ago, the theme at My Soul's Dark Imagination was "Dark Romeo And Juliet".

This art piece isn't actually dark, although their story is.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

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

"White Cat" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

Name: Catturd ™

Description: White cat wearing black glasses

Don't let this artist's rendition cute and cuddly portrait fool you: this Cat Of Interest (COI, pronounced coy) is clever.

As a direct result of Catturd's unauthorized "network disruption efforts" that only our Partners like Facebook, etc. are allowed to do, it appears that the "Justice for J6" rally is at risk of being cancelled, due to his D3 tactic of making "False Flag" innuendos about it. The US Government spent a lot of time and tax payer money in preparation for this event.

We have observed a pattern of Catturd deploying the D3 tactic (disrupt, degrade, and destroy, aka D3) to cut short, and sometimes even cancel, certain "events" that were gaining traction in the US news cycle.

While we can neither confirm nor deny that the "Cliché Cleetus Incident" was a False Flag, we do acknowledge the fact that once Catturd successfully got "False Flag" trending on social media that day, the incident came to an abrupt end with "Cleetus" surrendering.

Due to Catturd's inexplicable popularity, our standard character assassination smear tactics won't work on him.

We would like to meet with Catturd, at a neutral litter box of his choosing, to have a "friendly discussion" to find out how, moving forward, we can convince him to stop thwarting us. We will be bringing catnip, kitty litter, and cash, and hope we can come to some mutually acceptable agreement.

Cordially,
[redacted Government agency name]

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 satirical words in this post and my art piece 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.)
