A Masterpiece of artistic accuracy and sanctimonious  malice!

Editors note: This sentence makes no sense in the context of what follows however Court Painter’s Press Attache AHM is enamoured with it and insists on its inclusion.

Although all of this was in plain view, many art critics, even people of rank, spread different stories.Different people had different views as to what possessed Court Painter. Some said it was a kind of frenzy. Others claimed he was possessed by a demon or maybe even worse, the Muse.

Let us take it that this infamy happened from a natural cause. This teaches us he has failed to repress the passions of the soul, and has become dominated by them, flirting with  irreparable harm to his natural constitution.It was said that Court Painter had been damaged in a certain vein in the region of the brain by excessive imaginings, fantasies and anxieties.They say that there is the region in the brain, a very small, slender vein that nourishes the power of imagination and fantasy. Therefore when imaginations and fantasies abound in us,this little vein becomes agitated,and if it is sufficiently agitated and harmed, it ruptures, and the person falls into a frenzy of artistic insanity.Court Painter fails to set a limit, then, in his fantasies and imaginations, his conjectures and other pointless and useless cogitations thus falling into so great and irremediable a peril as to claim to be in the spasms of perdition.

Meanwhile Court Painter on most good days continues to hob nob and gallivant around with unrestrained glee and occasional gravity, exercising his social climbing proclivities wherever the company ,whatever the setting .

The following photographs released from the Court Painter archives document his seance attendance and other elbow rubbing with the chattering class!

 

 

As long as we valorize a settler mythology instead of actually knowing our history, we will remain incapable of dealing with the type of violent discourse that validates the death of a young indigenous man.

In response to national and international outrage,brain cramps and injury to delicate funny bones suffered by numerous snowflake journalists and politicians , Justin Trudeau surrendered yesterday on the steps of the House of Commons and agreed to attend Clown School immediately in an attempt to up his game as a jokester.

The Prime Minister explained an off-the-cuff remark he made during a town hall meeting about making the word mankind more inclusive was an attempt at humour that backfired — a joke that he now appears to regret.

“I made a dumb joke a few days ago that seems to have gone a little viral in the room on the ‘peoplekind‘ comment.It played well in the room and in context. Out of context, it doesn’t play so well,” Justin added as seriously as he could for the benefit of those teetering on the verge of outrage.

“It’s a little reminder to me that I shouldn’t be making jokes even when I think they’re funny.”

He said he’s pleased to attend Clown School to work on ‘out of context’ zingers and added it came highly recommended by Canadian ambassador to Germany and special envoy to the European Union,Stéphane Maurice Dion.

 

 

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger recently has said that the temptation to launch a pre-emptive strike on North Korea    ‘is strong and the argument rational’ ; remaining  consistent  in his steadfast support for “bombing as an instrument of diplomacy.”

He recently told a meeting of the United States Senate Armed Services Committee that North Korea poses the most immediate threat to global security, arguing that denuclearization of the regime must be a ‘fundamental’ American foreign policy goal.

During his time in office, under Presidents Ford & Nixon, Kissinger had been involved in three genocides : Pol Pot’s “killing fields” in Cambodia, which would never have occurred had he not infamously ordered an illegal four-and-a-half-year bombing campaign in that country; Indonesia’s massacre in East Timor;  Pakistan’s in Bangladesh both of which he expedited and later as a vociferous public supporter of invading Iraq.

Kissinger has been credited with being the modern architect of America’s propensity for “endless war”.

Canada Bread agrees to $50M fine for role in bread price-fixing scandal | CBC News

Canada Bread has agreed to pay at least $50 million for its role in fixing the price of bread for years, according to documents filed in an Ontario court.

Excerpted from article: The bread price-fixing scandal first came to light in 2015, when Canada’s Competition Bureau launched an investigation after receiving information from Loblaw and Weston about the existence of the scheme they were involved in. The two companies were granted immunity from prosecution by the bureau for co-operating in the matter.

The bureau subsequently executed search warrants against numerous companies, including Weston, Loblaw, Metro Inc., Sobeys Inc., Walmart Canada, Giant Tiger Stores Ltd., Overwaitea Food Group and Canada Bread.

“Let me let you in on a little secret: the presumption of innocence is a legal construct. Yes, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms says that people are presumed innocent – if they have been charged with an offence.
Protection from the power of the state
You see, the presumption of innocence operates in our courts of law to protect people charged with crimes from the power of the state to deprive them of their liberty. It does not operate to immunize political leaders from scrutiny.
In short, the presumption of innocence is a procedural protection to ensure fairness – not a moral imperative. This is why we do not automatically convict and sentence a self-admitted murderer whose crime is clearly captured on video. Even where guilt is plainly obvious, proper procedures must be followed and the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. But the presumption of innocence does not mean someone is factually blameless until proven otherwise.
To insist on the strict application of the presumption of innocence in everyday life is an absurd and insidious act of complicity to the realities exposed by the #MeToo movement. In no other aspect of our daily lives do we employ the presumption of innocence or apply a burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The presumption of innocence should not be used as an excuse to disregard common sense.”

 

Court Painter’s Potemkin Studio Rumour

Contemporary art critics and curators are divided on the degree of truth behind the Court Painter Potemkin Studio story, and some argue that the story is an exaggeration. The tale of an elaborate  cathedral height ,Piper Cub airplane hanger scale studio with glowing fires designed to comfort Court Painter and his studio entourage as they party all night long , is largely fictional. An unidentified art expert of dubious credentials however claiming to be an established specialist on 21st-century CourtPainterabelia, supposedly used original correspondence and memoirs to conclude that the Potemkin Studio is a myth. She writes: “Based on my extensive research and opium dreams we must conclude that the myth of a Court Painter Potemkin Studio is exactly a myth, and not an established fact.” She writes that a Court Painter Potemkin Studio simulacrum however does exist, but Press Attache to Court Painter A Hardon MacKay, makes no secret that “it is an architectural decoration constructed of mirrors and smoke”. The deception appears to be mainly directed towards any  foreign curators with thick accents who might by accident find themselves near the studio in Inglewood or its environs.

• All this helps explain why trust in social media and search engines plunged in the new Edelman Trust Barometer. Axios’ Sara Fischer says the survey reflects “a global reckoning around fake news and misinformation.”

Court Painter has seen a recent uptick in business and expects 2018 to be a banner year in the portrait studio with the incoming #OhNoMeToo phenomenon. Extra help has been hired to prepare the canvases!

Still reeling from stark email messages that included hurtful words like ‘remove us’ and ‘refrain from’, Court Painter retreated into his studio and slammed the door. Speaking to him through a crack in the door his Press Attache A Hardon MacKay was assured he was all right and “just wanted to work on new word paintings”.

In the light of this studio drama Press Attache A Hardon MacKay issued a short message

“When social media brings messages of rejection, repudiation, rebuff, spurning, abandonment, forsaking, desertion, shutting out, exclusion, shunning, cold-shouldering, ostracizing,  blackballing, blacklisting, avoidance, ignoring, snubbing and cutting dead….Court Painter shows us that his retreat into making art  provides the inner resilience to rebuff  the bruises brought on by having a social media address that brings stark messages of rejection.”
