Watch the video at the link.

I work next door to the Warhol Museum and watched this week as they put this "art" up on the Rosa Villa.

Obama will host an event at the museum for the G20 and I will be out of work for 3 days. I talked to one of the museum employees yesterday and they said the Obama's are driving them nuts with requirements. And the Secret Service is driving them even more nuts.

I'm just pissed that I won't be billing my outrageous fees for three days because Pittsburgh decided it would be a good idea to host the G20 summit.

Fairey was Obama's propaganda artist during the campaign. He created the now famous red and blue poster of Obama.

Interesting...if you flip Fairey's Trademark Emblem upside down and stare at the eyes, it becomes the Sigil of Bophomet/Goat of Mendes (symbol of Satan):

This version is probably more true to reality, although Mr. Fairey probably tore a tissue if he ever saw it.

My guess based on discernment.

It ALMOST makes sense for the Warhol Museum to celebrate Fairey. (A)his art ripped off the merchandised art schemes of Warhol himself, but (B)he was in part responsible for giving this nation our first “15 minute celebrity” president.

Propaganda and nothing but. A triumph of the swill. Marketing over substance.

The man is clearly not ready for prime time. Before long even Bush’s detractors will have to admit that he’s making Bush look better than Obama in all areas (including dealing with the opposition).

Ping.

Now look at my post at #5.

Now look at the poster for "Faith and Democracy...the Gamaliel Foundation here:

http://www.gamaliel.org/default.htm

NOTE: The upside down stars above the upraised hands? They are upside down pentagrams.

It isn't a 'coincidence' those stars on Gamaliel's poster are upside down.

P.S. An Obama victory sticker from after the election that had the very small goat head emblem on the bottom of it disappeared at my post #3.

Dear Sister how blasphemous they are:

The name Gamaliel is the Greek form
of the Hebrew name meaning reward of God.

Thank you for your research 444. You are a wealth of information.

This is pretty creepy stuff. What is the purpose of this artist to use those symbols, if other than what appaers to be intended.

Keep it coming if you have more. Thanks.
