Post Modern Art It Is Not

With the dubious use of the right-wing mantra aside, the media finds it perfectly acceptable to defend things that are blasphemous to Christians.

The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow.

This edition of Frederick R. Smith Speaks is an enhanced update of my January 20, 2021 essay.

Introduction

When a prominent Christian mentions another faith, legacy media jumps on its anti-religion bandwagon. With the dubious use of the right-wing mantra aside, legacy media finds it perfectly acceptable to defend wicked things.

Desecration as Art

“Artwork” of cutouts depicting female sexual parts fashioned into a Virgin Mary likeness forms a disgusting introduction to the topic at hand. The New York Times (Goofy Gray Lady) wrote on October 9, 1999, that the “Holy Virgin Mary” exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum of Art was “Witty… attractive… colorful, and glowing. The first impression it makes, before you decipher the little [porn] cutouts, is it’s cheerful, even sweet.” Click here to see The New York Times archives’ coverage of the Virgin Mary art scandal.

How nice of the Times to take a facsimile of female anatomy and make it a pleasant and wonderful thing. Just think today if somebody would do the same thing with an object of the Islamic “culture.” The Gray Lady would go into ballistic orbit.

Extremists continue invoking the First Amendment to protect all despicable activity. These postmodern craftwork aficionados demand that the government support this “artwork.” The quintessential example is the “Piss Christ” (crucifix inside a jar of urine). The National Endowment of Arts funded the artist of this enlightening effort. Any attempt to squelch this “art” by attempting to eliminate taxpayer funds to the Endowment brings forth the “censorship” Pavlov Dog reaction.

Starting in 2002, Gunther von Hagens leaped into uncharted waters by making artwork out of death. This gentleman is a German anatomist who created “art” that consists of a man seated at a chessboard with his brain exposed. Another lovely creation by this man is a woman with a pregnant belly peeled back to reveal an eight-month-old fetus curled inside. There are more works equally shocking to cogent-thinking people.

This putrid “art” consists of the preserved parts of human tissue. The art community displayed this rank content throughout Europe and Japan. Von Hagens developed a “plastination technique,” whereby epoxy replaced body fluids and other elements, creating plastic-like body parts. He claims this art is like Leonardo da Vinci’s. While it is true that Leonardo studied cadavers, he did that privately for medical research. Von Hagens has reduced the human body to a simple object. So, he defiles not only the human body but also life itself.

Beautiful Black Boxes

The beat goes on. In 2003, at a New York City subway station, the arts (what a laugh) community displayed specific works to see the public’s reaction. This “art” was nothing more than 37 black boxes, which caused panic because they taped these fine specimens to the walls and benches. The “art” teacher praised his student’s work, who received an “A” even though officials evacuated the subway station and conducted a full-scale probe by a bomb task force. The total expense to the city for this emergency was $25,000.00.

Why would somebody try such a juvenile delinquent act just two miles from the former World Trade Center? Much of the “art” community is simply out of touch with reality.

Hot Air Paper Airplanes

In addition to that “art” detailed above, I enjoyed personally experiencing the wonders of postmodern garbage, which you will find enlightening. In 2003, the walking portion of my work commute included a view of a particularly “wonderful” and “thought-provoking” art window collection.

Snapped on January 10, 2003, with my not-so-smartphone, the above grainy picture shows a small meat-slicing machine with a nude Barbie doll positioned so the blade would cut through the abdomen. A week later, the “curators” replaced this “art” with a paint-splattered canvas for a visual treat depicting something unfathomable—another excellent product of our educational “system” (keyword).

In May 2003, our arts and crafts friends placed a series of paper airplanes in the “art” (what a laugh) window. The aircraft hung on strings with indelibly marked phrases on the fuselage dealing with the future. Some airplanes incorporate more exciting terms, as shown below in bold-italic type. My comments follow each entry.

✈️ In the future, the word species will have no meaning

The creators of this “art” may believe that people and animals must be equal. Unfortunately, this is the typical worldview of radical groups such as People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals or the Animal Liberation Front. In reality, these groups mentioned above generally care little about people. To be clear and not branded as a person that paints a broad brush, it is necessary to note that there are indeed good animal groups like the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

In a strange turn of events, the above attitude extends from people projecting a religious-like persona but with no faith in a Supernatural God. More to the point, the de-evolution to no species can be attributed to eliminating God’s binary by self-affirming gender. Indeed, it is mystical how people who claim to have no soul are born into the wrong body. Thus, anthropology shall be targeted for the insult of classifying human remains as male or female. Next for the hit list, like racist math, chromosome science shall get the WOKE treatment.

✈️ In the future, social hierarchy will be considered the same thing as fascism

So here we have it, any hint of people who may have any wealth or social standing face the charge of “fascist.” But, of course, WOKE celebrities get a pass. It is the personification of the radical collectivist philosophy that claims all people should be equal in all ways. Of note, un-WOKE folk, such as the J6 people tortured in solitary confinement, shall be deemed less than human. Nevertheless, Pavlovian WOKE robots get EMT’s life-saving service or go to a doctor for heart surgery. Are neurosurgeons going to be considered fascists because they are at the top of the medical field?

The above notwithstanding, the so-called fascist haters embrace a new form of government-business fusion under the uber-WOKE Environment Social Governance (ESG) model. Under the ESG’s Diversity Inclusion Equity (DIE) Rite, fairness and meritocracy get thrown under a bus operated by the Critical Race Theory Transit Regional System (CRTTRS)🦨. It is all a modern form of fascism. Meanwhile, leftist-anarchist shock troops such as ANTIFA rally against a nondescript form of “fascism.” In their pickled brains, anything not conforming to the fascist ESG-DIE ecosystem shall be deemed fascist. In other words, realities like business unlinked to government and independent thinking shall be called fascist. Now we know why we are told that ANTIFA is a myth.

In a less satirical tone, reliable news about DIE-Rite arrived on the desk of Frederick R. Smith Speaks. A close friend from the high ranks of a multi-national ESG-aligned corporation confirms our worst fears. In my buddy’s unnamed company, a new DIE-Rite department feverishly works to make it virtually impossible for a particular type of person to gain employment. This delusional program marches on, hidden in plain sight, under the Human Resources’ equal opportunity mission statement. George Orwell’s Animal Farm best describes the DIE-Rite:

Meanwhile, a COVID-19 relief program excludes certain people if every family member has a particular undesirable skin pigment. Hot air paper airplanes touting no hierarchy: canceled.

✈️ In the future, the idea of celebrity will be abolished

People who believe this absurd statement are many of the same people who go bonkers over movie stars and sports figures. How duplicitous indeed. It is an infuriating ball of wax to see these WOKE folk all masked up as studio audience participants. At the same time, they engage in cult-like hoot and holler to boast their unmasked show “star.”

✈️ In the future, the workers will own the corporations

That is not a novel concept, as workers own some businesses. It is challenging to grasp this concept that flies in the face of small businesses. Does the artist who created this airplane believe that the laws should prohibit a family from owning a small business and employing workers who are not part owners?

When the proletariat finally controlled economic production, Marx declared that all classes would disappear and class struggles would end. In this “communist phase,” a government would no longer be needed. Any bets the collective will embrace eliminating their WOKE government upon landing in Utopia? We know the answer to that puzzle. More WOKE government to keep the Bread and Circus alive and well.

✈️ In the future, the pleasures of some will not be the cause of pain for others

Does this mean that there will be no pain anymore? Or does this mean that people will no longer have pleasure? Perhaps the legalization of recreational weed is the path to numb all people from the pain of auto accidents caused by stoned drivers.

✈️ In the future, there will be no paper money

That is not too far-fetched, as it is common today to buy goods and services with electronic transfers. Money with no backing other than “faith” in the system amounts to a precarious situation (fiat money). We know Central Bank Digital Currencies and freedom are incompatible, but such “money” will rise in the post-COVID people tracking new normal.

What will become of small purchases between individuals? Will we use other means of exchange, such as precious stones or metals? We will no longer be able to give to a poor person on the street. So much for a teen going out to shovel snow and getting a reward for the effort.

With Universal Basic Income, the problem is solved. Just make on-the-book workers semi-free enslaved people by taking their money in the form of tax and hidden tax (theft) called inflation to take care of those who do not want to work—a back door method to achieve reparations.

✈️ In the future, same-sex unions will be common

The alphabet mafia penetrated all aspects of our society; thus, the plane landed. As one of her last acts as Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, declared the radical Respect for Marriage Act reflects “the divinity” of every human being. She also praised the late San Francisco Democrat Harvey Milk as an icon of what the bill represented. Milk infamously had a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old runaway boy. His chief cause was to do away with the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic. Along with Alfred Kinsey, Milk set the path to today’s cold and machine-like transhuman world.

In 1978 Milk was murdered over a political dispute by fellow Democrat Dan White. The collective bestows secular martyrdom on Milk by saying he was “assassinated.” Also, absent from the narrative: Milk’s early campaign for a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors was partly funded by Jim Jones, the infamous cult leader of the Peoples Temple. Jones orchestrated the mass murder-suicide in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978. Milk praised the cult, spoke at the Temple numerous times, and wrote Jones personally.

But there is more. The US Navy launched a ship named after Milk, who was forced to resign from the service in the 1950s because of his pederast leanings. Nevertheless, the Navy launched USNS Harvey Milk in San Diego on November 6, 2021. Indeed, a priest who perpetrated the same crime would rightfully not get a ship named after himself.

✈️ In the future, country names will be only used to name cheeses

Ah, here we have the New World Order. Nationhood will be obsolete as we are all “equal” in every aspect of the globalized world. So, it seems the artists support such a concept.

Quick, get on the horn to seek an arrest warrant to see if Fred Smith is a right-wing wacko storing ammunition and “anti-government” literature. Nevertheless, the WOKE “artist” used the word cheese rather than “New World Order,” which places WOKE “artists” in the exempt category. Remember, un-WOKE folk shall face mental institution treatment at best or solitary confinement at worst for mentioning cheese as it relates to the xenophobic construct of national borders.

Perhaps the airplanes have an additional borderless world message inside the fuselage, propping up the psychopath global elite. It is about the weaponization of the World Health Organization with its “infodemic” initiative. Or, the acceptance of 6-7 million southern border invaders as “migrants” with open arms (free cell phones, medical, food, lodging, etc.) and gaslighting related drug-mule sex-trafficking activities into “right-wing” theories

✈️ In the future, there will be no organized religions

The absence of God is the religion of Communism. It is also true that most theocracies include tyrants who have rationalized their depredations by selective interpretation of holy texts. Overblown and inaccurate “his-story” aside, the wrong side of the Crusades and the Inquisition are two examples. So, it is worth looking at one entry in the balance sheet. In three centuries, the Crusades claimed two million, while Pol Pot in Cambodia directed the murder of about the same number of people in just three years.

How many movies have we seen on the silver screen about the evils of Nazism? Plenty. However, it is also prudent to ask how many find the evils of Communism shocking. Very few, indeed! The answer is self-evident, considering the open promotion of Marxist ideals in most public schools.

Those who promote Marxist ideals are like alcoholics. They do not realize that there is a problem with their “thought” process. Communism and its runner-up cousin, overarching socialism, make people feel good, but the reality is starkly different. We can hear it now “Oh no, Fred is a McCarthyite!” Quick, make an appointment with the psychologist’s office for Fred. The government will be glad to pay the bill, no questions asked. Now that, indeed, is an excellent component of socialized medicine!

The above notwithstanding, efforts to implement after-school “Satan Clubs” press on.

✈️ One day in the future, there will be no science fiction

So, does our artist friend think that all of today’s science fiction will become a reality? It is time to order the van to take this guy (or others who may have collaborated to create this fantastic art) to a shrink. Let us be fair and equal. Your Author just got back from an appointment for the secular sin of using the term “New World Order.” Indeed, past science fiction, like Logan’s Run, is fast becoming the new reality!

✈️ One day in the future, we will not seek happiness through buying things

There may be some merit to this because of overarching materialism. Nevertheless, today we purchase many good items for pleasure, such as books. What about things we do not own, such as a vacation? Will the system supply everything for free? It just might be with robots and replicating machines!

Reflection

The above paper airplanes are socialist-utopian-mindless-muck, and the concepts of each will not work and never will work. No matter what information we present, even the most intelligent and salient facts do not penetrate their Marxist worldview.

As a salient overview of where were are today, Robert H. Bork’s best-selling book Slouching Towards Gomorrah on page 129 provides the following account:

Art, by adopting many of the techniques and much of the content of popular entertainment, is becoming popular entertainment. And popular art, paintings of tomato cans, is taken as high art. James Gardner notes the incongruity that art has never been more admired, more adulated, than it is now, that it draws larger crowds and attracts more money than ever before, and yet the art itself is impoverished. Here, as in popular music and television entertainment, it is not that there is no genuinely serious art at all; it is that there is so much that is meaningless, uninspired, untalented, or perverse. Perhaps the Sixties brought in a fascination with the perverted, but lack of meaning was evident well before that decade. In a prestigious New York museum in the early 1950’s, a piece of black burlap nailed to a board was presented as art. In a London museum, I thought I had come upon leftovers from a carpet laying: strips of brown felt in a heap in the middle of the room. Then I saw that the pile had a title. I asked a sculptor on the Yale faculty what his sculpture, which looked like a half-melted tree stump, represented. He said quite seriously: “Whatever you want it to be.” Yale was willing to support a man whose idea of art was a three-dimensional Rorschach test. It is thus no cause for surprise that our great universities now offer courses on comic books.

Collectivists, in general, and WOKE, in particular, live in an imaginary world. Just like artistic relativism, their secular religion deposits their ther brains into an alt-world void of connection to facts. The hard-line elite demagogues relish leading these godless mystics into perdition. The government-corporate (corporatocracy) vacuums compassion from its disciples worshiping in the Dystopian Temple. Nonmembers rejecting WOKE sacraments face scorn.

Practical reasoning does not compute in the Borg-like collective brain of the useful idiots. Furthermore, even persuasion does not work, as it is an offense against their religion of corporatocracy, thus making the disciples feel “threatened.” The same “art” brain contortion wants to cancel dozens of harmful and potentially threatening words such as “American” and “Grandfather.”

Afterword

Reality and time are on our side. It will be a bumpy ride with the corporatocracy censoring unWOKE free speech. Nevertheless, the existence of hyperinflation caused by the creation of trillions of fiat currency will bite hard when the fruits of planned food and energy shortages come home to roost. The Pavlov-like mental capacity of the secular disciples is a mind-boggling ball of wax. Nothing else can explain why legacy media promotes the starving of our needs while we export our plentiful energy (coal).

Don’t get ready, be ready, as it is all about the New World Order.
