Vice

Finally i got quality time to refresh, sit still and finish off my readings. Managed to watch VICE. Its brilliant and showed me the true power, the inner workings, abstract mechanisms of law in the form of Unitary Executive Power able to grant a democratically one explosive dick. 

With Christian Bale, Steve Carrell and Sam Rockwell in top form - i got an informal education of how America cemented her aura of invincibility before it's thrown aside like a piece of cardboard by Trump.

Batman retired and turned out to be a Republican

 

By all means - is Dick Cheney evil? 

With his "heart condition" is placed as a central theme, hsi character can be heartless yet he is humane at times. His motivations and intentions is clear, his course of action is structured thematically and strategically placed, lining up his allies after years of being in the politics, he got luck on his side when Bush asked him to be his running mate.

With the final breaking the 4th wall speech by him - he needed to be play the role to ensure everyone sleep safely at night.


True enough, Republicans are the right wing - with her never ending fight with the liberalist left wing,  both parties needed capitalism and crooked financial institutions support by approving endless policies.  

Financial institutions is one beautiful tempting mistress for any successful politician.

As the Republicans as the traditionalist, representing the true soul of the US, the Democrats in the other hand are the liberal, free spirited and your crazy younger uncle. These two parties traded blows with each other with clear divisive lines. 

They require strong logical points to get votes and support, unlike our local political arena where politicians kept using the same old rhetorical racist reasoning.

Trump won the election by pushing this exact formula. Like our former Prime Minister Jibby who stole billions of bucks in the form of donation, now left us paying for his mess, not to forget, he trolled our 7 month old government/ 

Trump asked the congress billions to build a wall to make America great again, while we continue to be friendly to China and US.

Imagine Jibby got his hands on  Unitary Executive Power.


The Sept 11 incident finally pushed and justified US actions to invade Iraq, eliminating and replace dictatorial Saddam with weapons of mass narrative. The hollow battle cry echoed by her allies is simply a thinly disguised veil to claim the massive petroleum deposit. 

The war on terror which turned messier,uglier and more expensive thru the years.

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

Image
after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji...

The Final Lesson by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Image
Intro This is will be a long note - edited again thoroughly. Before i begin, this writing will touch on an individual goes by the name of  Syed Ahmad Jamal ( our National Laureate ) who passed away on 2011 and DBKL - stands for Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council. My heart dropped when Syed Ahmad Jamal public sculpture entitled Puncak Purnama ( Lunar Peaks, 1986 ) was destroyed by the local KL municipal council DBKL few days back. DBKL stands for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur - actually is quite notorious for a list of bad PR moves by cutting off trees, blocking the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen ( which been feeding the homeless ), their zealous traffic summons - but seriously they broke the camel's back by destroying the modernist, geometrical - clean cut sculpture. The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like.........

Awesome Bowie Notes No 1.

Image
William Boyd collaborated with David Bowie - published this book as a hoax, presented as a real biography. "Nat Tate" is a combination of the names of two London art galleries, the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery. Boyd and his conspirators set about convincing the New York glitterati (social elites) that the reputation of this influential abstract expressionist needed to be re-evaluated. Bowie held a launch party on April Fool's Day eve, 1998 and read extracts from the book, while someone talked about Tate's friendships with both Picasso and Braque. About a week later, journalist David Lister,said that no one he spoke to claimed to know Tate well, but no one claimed not to have heard of him. In reality, it appears that few were fooled and most of the big names in the arts world (including artists, collectors, art historian, art dealers, New York based writers like Paul Auster, and editors of literary journals) quickly realized that Nat Tate ...
