Art of the Day

Schedule

This Week:

Art of the Day: The Joshua Tree. En route to the desert to the home of the namesake of the best U2 album ever, surviving and even thriving in the water quenched land of the Mojave. The true origin of its appellation derives from Mormons escaping harassment to the southwest, and saw in its inviting, directing branches a promise to the promised land of survival and rebirth as in the prophet Joshua. Heading there now a for a summer escape of remembrance and rebirth.

Wisdom of the Day: “Most people, if they know they have done wrong, foolishly suppose they can conceal their error by defending it, and finding a justification for it; but in my belief there is only one medicine for an evil deed, and that is for the guilty man to admit his guilt and show that he is sorry for it. Such an admission will make the consequences easier for the victim to bear, and the guilty man himself, by plainly showing his distress at former transgressions, will find good grounds of hope for avoiding similar transgressions in the future.” Arrian, The Campaigns of Alexander.

Book Recommendation: Blood Libel, a research deep dive into how European royal elites used Jews as scapegoats routinely to escape liability for their own bad deeds, and likely triggering multiple mini-Holocausts over the centuries before the Nazis, as entire Jewish genetic lines disappeared from the genetic record suddenly and without explanation. This text provides context for the libels of people like Fuentes and Candace.

Closing Argument: Why Candace Is Cooked, A Mini-Masterclass in Libel Law

·      The First Amendment heavily shapes libel law in America immunizing opinions that do not imply facts, statements that do not reference an identifiable individual, and claims made with a good faith basis and due regard for their truth remain. Other privileges or immunities may exist depending upon the jurisdiction, including the fair reporting privilege concerning governmental bodies, anti-SLAPP procedural protections, and the like.

·      A good start to assess how courts will likely construe the law on any given topic is the pattern jury instructions courts commonly issue as guidance for trial judges to explain the law to juries. To prove libel of a public figure requires: a statement made to a third person (“publication”); the statement could be reasonably understood to be about that third person (“colloquium”); the statement could be reasonably understood to state or imply a fact about that third person harmful to their reputation (“defamatory”); the statement was factually false (‘falsity”); and the defendant either knew the statement was false, had doubts about its truth, or disregarded a substantial and unjustifiable risk the statement was false (“actual malice”).

·      In the Candace Owens case, the Macrons allege the following lies and libels by Owens: that Mr. Macron is an MK-Ultra project whose parents are not his real parents, where he was kidnapped, abused, engaged in incestuous relations with his wife as a close blood relative as part of the Rothschild family, murdered journalists who asked questions about this topic, bribed and extorted other journalists who asked these questions, admitted he engaged in illicit sexual assault by his now wife when he was a 15 year old student and she a 39 year old teacher, that he engaged in the crimes of forgery, fraud, bribery, extortion, blackmail, attempted murder, murder, incest, and rape, while worshiping Satan and Baphomet in a cult, and was supporting the Ukraine War for as long as anyone asked these questions about these topics; that Mrs. Macron is a biological male, who fathered 3 kids with another woman hidden from view, that her brother doesn’t exist (but that she is secretly him), that she never married, never gave birth to any children, engaged in the crimes of forgery, fraud, bribery, extortion, blackmail, attempted murder, murder, incest, and rape, while worshiping Satan and Baphomet in a cult, and admitted she had no photos before the age of 30 and admitted she engaged in statutory rape of Mr. Macron; and that in effort to disguise sources, fabricate evidence, and ignore exculpatory evidences, lied about what documents or photos existed in books, articles, documentaries, and even the retraction letters sent by the Macrons repeatedly to her denying the allegations and providing substantial evidence proving the falsity of her statements.

·      The evidence presented to Owens rebutting her claims included birth records, marriage records, court transcripts of sworn testimony, extensive photographic records, and a wide range of records vetted and verified by third party sources. Candace Owens apparent sources include a self-proclaimed psychic, a self-proclaimed amateur detective, and a right-wing newsletter writer whose first libels predated the Macrons ability to now sue, including two defendants already found criminally liable for libel on these precise claims.  

·      Delaware includes a “no mischievous nor malicious” purpose defense, and the complaint alleges she profited substantial sums for these claims while bragging about the reputational harm it would cause the Macrons, ignoring retraction requests and lying to her audience about the content of the redaction requests. Additionally, the Complaint identifies a recurrent pattern, including Owens past libels, fitting the Macrons into devil-worshipping, Baphomet-idolizing Satanists, drinking Christian blood, who use child sex trafficking to perpetuate their power through pedophile rape, as she alleges those identified as Jews are really these devil worshipper Kazarians, who wrongly disparage Nazi doctor Mengele, and include Josef Stalin, and now the Macrons.

·      Reviewing the complaint, it is useful to remember the Macrons only need to win on 1 single statement being libelous, not every statement. Reviewing some of the sources cited in the detailed complaint, it is nigh on impossible seeing Candace win at trial. Then compound that with the venue – a 2-to-1 Democratic jury pool to the left of Austin, Texas and a judicial pool that is one of the most partisan in the nation, and she is completely cooked.

The Barnes Brief: Monday, August 11, 2025

I. INTROUDCTION

A. Appearances

Scheduled: LIVE w/ The Duran, Tuesday at 10 a.m. eastern. 

B. Art of the Day: The famed Russian painting celebrating the Cossacks legendary insult to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Legend has it that after the Sultan demanded deference following his losses on the battlefield, citing all his fancy titles, the notorious Cossacks responded in kind: “Sultan, son of the cursed Sultan of taker, companion of Satan, hellish abysmal…” filled with insults, which the painting depicts their roguish laughter as they design even more cutting insults of the self-important Sultan, concluding “we will not yield to you, but we will fight you”, and who did and won. Today’s EU reminds me of the Sultan, demanding again surrender after defeat. 

C. Wisdom of the Day: Zelensky is “irrational, detached from reality, and uninterested in peace.” Douglas Macgregor, former Trump military and national security advisor. 

D. Cultural Recommendation: How the West Brought War to Ukraine, a good short treatise on the war and its reasons. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62693035-how-the-west-brought-war-to-ukraine?
