Art of the Day: Geometric ancient art found on walls, temples, and pottery from centuries ago across civilizations, societies, and geographies around the globe. Recently highlighted by the likes of Graham Hancock and other explorers of ancient civilizations, this unique geometric art depicted here in Greek pottery, represents a kind of collective unconscious across ancient societies. It stood out to me for a different reason: a tattoo artist from Tahiti (where the word tattoo originated) designed an engagement ring tattoo for me a decade+ ago mimicking the same identical design, though I neither requested nor he suggested it. Something deep in the human consciousness calls to this simple symbol of truth in life.

 

Wisdom of the Day: “The power in the judicial will enable them to mould the government into almost any shape they please.” Brutus, Anti-Federalist, 1788.

Closing Argument: Time to Judge the Judges

A blast from the past

I hope to be able to stream Fauci’s hearing.

This is a video from 2020, when Time named Anthony Fauci Top 100 person of the year.

Read the signs of the protesters in this video.

Listen to the way Fauci describes himself in this video.

Truly insidious evil makes villains of the heroes, and heroes of the villains.

I did a quick hit on Richard Syrette yesterday. Gotta keep Canadians apprised of the U.S. madness.

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 
 
A. Art of the Day 
  • A warm cup of coffee, a firm-backed chair, a well-worn wooden table, a soft light overheard, a farmed window overlooking the rainy streets as folks hustle about in the early morning hours softly lit by the gaslight streetlights, as they hustle about their day and you sink into a good book or deep thought, the warm cop waiting. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
  • “Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.” The Bacchae.
