Surrealism has become reality. We are living in a Salvador Dali painting
Events in the present age + Salvador Dali's Paintings | 8 August 2021 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Surrealism. What is that? Surrealism generally refers to a genre of art perfected by the perfect pervert of art, Salvador Dali. That flaming homosexual who painted the melting clock faces, horses with mile long legs, nonexistent creatures roaming the earth and other such absurdities now fits the paradigm of today perfectly.

As we watch the United States literally fall apart at the seams, we are all living in a Salvador Dali painting, where down is up, up is down, time melts, all beings metamorphis into unreality and the sky is red, etc.. Truth has become untruth...and, vice versa. Down is up, up is down, tell another lie and pass it around. Life has BECOME a Salvador Dali painting where we are living in near surrealism.

The worst thing a person can do these days is tell the truth about anything, anything at all, and the crowd calls for his/her execution. You can fill in all of the details, from the disrespectful Olympians to vaccines to economic unreality: Few wanting to work and supply chain disruption, market indexes that are completely beyond reason based on what is happening in the economy, cruise lines that are still in business somehow without hardly even operating, car dealerships functioning without supply, and so on, a President who is senile and the media doesn't care, etc., etc., ad nauseum.

I thought and thought about it and finally realized the truth. We are not living reality, we have BECOME the Salvador Dali painting.

Philippe Halsman's photograph of Salavdor Dali jumping in the air with brush in hand, the chair and easel levitating, and cats going by with swashes of water flying through the air. THAT is life now.

Note tagline.

That's why they HATE Trump so murderously. He speaks TRUTH. They HATE TRUTH more than anything.

TRUTH--TRUTH for its own sake--the only thing that can save the world--is anathema to them.

That's how sick they are.

Trump made so many of the liberals go completely insane.

Now even more have gone insane. A largely fake (danger highly exaggerated, facts distorted or denied) health crisis and fully fake President and administration with an oppressive and fully permeated media control state denying both and reinforcing obvious fiction as unassailable truth (literally) the nation is going to go mad.

The Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution is a reference for the sort of things going on.

Full court press fundamental transformation being coerced or forced.

Reporter to Truman: “Mr. President, are you going to give them hell?”

Truman: “I’m going to give them the truth and they will think its hell.”

FWIW:

Sexuality
Dalí’s sexuality had a profound influence on his work. He stated that as a child he saw a book with graphic illustrations of venereal diseases and this provoked a life-long disgust of female genitalia and a fear of impotence and sexual intimacy. Dalí frequently stated that his main sexual activity involved voyeurism and masturbation and his preferred sexual orifice was the anus. Dalí said that his wife Gala was the only person with whom he had achieved complete coitus. From 1927 Dalí’s work featured graphic and symbolic sexual images usually associated with other images evoking shame and disgust. Images of anality and excrement also abound in his work from this time. Some of the most notable works reflecting these themes include The First Days of Spring (1929), The Great Masturbator (1929), and The Lugubrious Game (1929). Several of Dalí’s intimates in the 1960s and 1970s have stated that he would arrange for selected guests to perform choreographed sexual activities to aid his voyeurism and masturbation.

At least according to Wiki he was really weird, but not gay.

Excellent analogy. Makes perfect sense:

Salvador - "savior"
Dali - from dail, assembly;one who gathers at assemblies.

The underlying meaning of v’nahafoch hu is that what initially is perceived as a cause is really an effect, and what seems to be an effect is really the cause.

>>>

Chazal tell us that HaKadosh Baruch Hu first puts the mechanism for salvation in place, and only subsequently brings about the tzarah. Thus, Esther was firmly ensconced in the royal palace before Haman’s horrible decree was issued (Megilla 13b).

But let’s think about this for a moment. What caused Haman’s terrible ire to be roused to the point that he wanted to do away with all of the Jews? Of course, it was the fact that Mordechai refused to bow to him. Take note, though, of the following words of the pasuk: “And all the servants of the king that were stationed at the gate of the king would kneel and bow to Haman…and Mordechai would not kneel and he would not bow (3:2).” It is clear from the pasuk that this requirement for everyone to bow to Haman was only for those stationed b’shaar hamelech, by the king’s palace, and not in all 127 countries under the dominion of Achashverosh. As such, had Mordechai not been at the shaar hamelech, the events of Purim would never have taken place! And what brought Mordechai to find himself daily at the gate of the king’s palace? Esther! Because Esther was in the palace, Mordechai frequented there to keep as much of an eye on her as possible. It emerges, then, that v’nahafoch hu: the refuah of Esther being in the palace was itself what caused the makah!

Purim: V’nahafoch Hu

Esther: the modest, Jewish woman who had no desire to become royalty.

And to think people can't find America anywhere in Bible prophecy.

Smile America!

Psalms 118

18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.
23 This is the LORD'S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

Hey judge, double or nothing he makes it. 80,000.

That’s what I was thinking.
I was just too lazy to look up how to spell
Hieronymus. It is a one of a kind tableu.
I am surprised there hasn’t been a play or movie written about it. i.e. “Dante’s Rainbow Inferno - On Steroids!”

Yes, I would have to agree. Thanks for the post.

Click here for Hieronymus Bosch painting.

This one seems to represent the present administration trying to run the country.
