The Secret Teachings 10/19/22 - Warhol Like Footing w. Frank of Quite Frankly

Nowadays acts of vandalism against statues, books, and priceless cultural art are protected and justified by zealous cults. Recently Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” painting was luckily protected by a casing when two ‘protestor-vandals’ threw Heinz creamy tomato soup. Good thing it wasn’t chunky. They then glued themselves to the wall and screamed: “What is worth more: art or life? Is it worth more than food? Worth more than justice?” The vandals are with a group called Just Stop Oil. This type of destruction is mirrored by King, then Prince, Charles when he said we need a “war-like footing” to deal with Climate Change. War always implies destruction, to build something back in its place. Considering soup was used in the recent paint protest, we could call this a Warhol-like footing. But this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Others have attempted to destroy, spray paint, or glue themselves to art or signs. Virtually all of these classic paintings are made with plant-based oils. Just Stop Oil's funder, Climate Emergency Fund, was set up by the granddaughter of an oil tycoon. Their headquarters is in Beverly Hills California. The glue they use is made with petroleum. The label of the soup can, which was wasted, when it could’ve given it to a hungry person, is made of polyethylene - oil / plastic. The spray paint other protesters have recently used is also made of oil, and it’s an aerosol. Frank of Quite Frankly will join us to discuss what is happening.
