Having suffered from Generalized Anxiety Disorder since my teens, I am usually fretting about minute and paltry worries such as filing estimated taxes, what I posted on Facebook, making and keeping appointments, and other mundane affairs. Lately, though, the events in our world and my country in particular have added a huge hump on my anxious shoulders. I do not read news reports, but my husband relays events to me each morning that I can pursue.
Since it seems like the USA is crumbling while our government sends more billions and weapons elsewhere, it appears the agenda of our lawmakers is to utterly destroy our economy. They have opened our borders to all comers, offering sanctuary and entitlements while continuing to charge those who complain with intolerance. Schools and universities fire educators who don’t toe the line of compliance with PC rules, and law enforcement arrests protesters for speaking their mind. Free speech seems to be gone unless you are selling something.
The article that prompted this post appeared on Signs of the Times yesterday.
Tyson Foods has fired over 1,000 employees and shut down its pork factory. It will move to NYC and offer employment and benefits, including housing, to immigrants, usually called undocumented workers in “old speak”, which will destroy the town of Perry, Iowa, Tyson being the only place for its residents to work.
Meanwhile, shoplifters are no longer arrested or even stopped by retailers, stores close due to theft, horrendous attacks on complete strangers are perpetrated on the streets of America daily, and there seems to be no stopping the decline of the Empire, as Caitlin Johnstone calls the USA.
So here are some more disturbed art from my heart.
i haven’t read or kept up with the news since i was a boy, it seems the world is just as grim. your artwork is raw and scary
A rare insight into the politics of Grimalkin! I enjoyed this. Brings to mind the Yeats line, which has been on my mind recently: "The center cannot hold."
