Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art
My brother Steve taught a class at RISD for years.We visit the Art museum often.Ruling class control of art, literature,and THE NEWS has become increasingly fascistic in" OUR democracy" with Zionist Jews micro managing the censorship of American public opinion too.
Headline article this morning on the World Socialist Web Site :
[ "In the latest blatant attack on free speech, the administration of the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) shut down an exhibition expressing support for the Palestinian people and opposition to Israel’s mass murder in Gaza. The work was moved, without the student artists’ permission, to a building that is not open to the public.
RISD, founded in 1877 in Providence and now affiliated with Brown University, is one of the most prominent art and design schools in the US.
The exhibition in question, To Every Orange Tree, was organized by the RISD Students for Justice in Palestine (RSJP) and Carr Haus, a student-run cafe accessible to the public.
The exhibition, which features the work of 20 artists, opened March 17. Three days later, the far-right StopAntisemitism posted a comment on X asserting that RISD 'is facing outrage over an ‘art’ show promoting violence against Jews and calling for the removal of Israel—yet administrators of @risd are doing NOTHING!'
The 'outrage,' of course, was in the minds of those smearing the exhibition. The artwork included no antisemitic propaganda whatsoever. One piece included the message, 'There is no peace as long as the Zionist entity exists,' a reality confirmed on a daily basis in the blood and misery of the Gazan and West Bank populations. Many of the pieces, in fact, were created by Jewish students at RISD. " ]
