Court Painter presents a daring series of topsy turvy portraits of A Mogul Named Rupert
So it is today that the 92-year-old Murdoch blasted the media world with another tremor as he announced his unpredicted “retirement” from his status as chair of both of his companies, Fox and News Corp. The word retirement deserves prominent quotation marks because nowhere in Murdoch’s letter announcing his move to chairman emeritus does he actually use it. The letter closes with him promising to be “involved every day” as an “active member” of the Fox and News Corp. companies, watching its broadcasts and reading its newspapers and books, “reaching out” with “thoughts, ideas, and advice,” and visiting his various outposts.
Pyro-cumulonimbus clouds are thunder clouds created by intense heat from the Earth’s surface. They are formed similarly to cumulonimbus clouds, but the intense heat that results in the vigorous updraft comes from fire, either large wildfires or volcanic eruptions.
Adding smoke and fire to the mix and you have pyrocumulonimbus, an explosive storm cloud actually created by the smoke and heat from fire, and which can ravage tens of thousands of acres. And in the process, these storms funnel their smoke like a chimney into Earth’s stratosphere, with lingering adverse effects.
Pyro-scapegoating : According to research by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, parental rights mobilizations have coincided with the rise in anti-2SLGBTQIA+ policies and platforms of major political parties in Canada, most recently the Conservative Party of Canada and provincial Conservatives in Manitobaand Ontario and New Brunswick under premier Blaine Myron Higgs. In Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe plans to introduce anti-trans legislation this fall. The notion of “protecting children” has become a big tent that attracts a wide range of right-wing extremists, religious conservatives and conspiracy theorists.
Adding misinformation, bigotry, and resentment to the mix, you have what can be referred to as “pyro-scapegoating” – an explosive social phenomenon fueled by the heat of homophobic, resentful, and bigoted sentiments. This social storm cloud can wreak havoc on tens of thousands of individual lives and pose a significant challenge to open and healthy societal values, with lasting detrimental effects.

Portrait of a Premier in Centre of a Storm by Court Painter
Doug Ford claimed that he only learned about which Greenbelt properties were being considered on November 4th, 2022 when they were announced.
Toronto Star article Sept 2/23
Doug Ford made it his job to know as little as possible about the Greenbelt deals. But his fingerprints are all over them.
Given Ford’s ownership of the Greenbelt scandal, voters will ultimately reclaim stewardship of the protected lands he gave away under false pretences, Martin Regg Cohn writes. Political Columnist/Toronto StarSaturday, September 2, 2023
Protecting the premier is always paramount, which is achieved by keeping him far away from any impropriety. The problem is when the old mantra of “plausible deniability” becomes so implausible as to be undeniable.
Ford’s fingerprints have been on the steering wheel ever since he promised to stop the gravy train, only to drive the Greenbelt bulldozer from start to finish.
In fact, Ford was caught on video telling supporters privately in 2018 that he would carve up the Greenbelt, only to swear off the plan. As premier, he issued the mandate letter last year, as revealed in last week’s report from the integrity commissioner, ordering Clark to do precisely the opposite and proclaim it in public.
