A Brighter Future

Jordan Henderson

Brighter Future – Oil on Linen – 40×72 inches.
A child assists her father in blocking the New Normal. If left unobstructed the New Normal would shut out their pathway to a brighter future.

The worldwide push towards authoritarianism under the pretext of a faux pandemic is coercing nearly every aspect of society into its respective pen, which means that nearly everyone is in a position to become a wrench in the gears.

This is what inspired me to create this painting; it celebrates the revolutionary spirit being demonstrated by all manner of people, from grandmothers refusing to shop at mask enforcing stores, to parents exploring alternative ways to educate their children rather than letting them be muzzled and injected by the state.

To represent the New Normal crowd on the right and left of the painting, I elaborated on an idea that I established in an earlier painting Safe and Sanitized with skulls gagged by facemasks and held by their handcuffed hands (lockdowns), plus vaccine syringes stuck half haphazardly into them.

The building towering over the crowd on the left is Building 21, one of the CDC’s most iconic structures in their headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

On the right is the United States Capitol Building, with the bronze Statue of Freedom that crowns the Capitol dome having been replaced in my painting by a statue of the Caduceus (serpents twined around a winged rod). The Caduceus is an ancient symbol with various interpretations including commerce, though used in the USA as a symbol of medicine. Here it represents freedom displaced for “medicine” with the added irony that “medicine” is really just business and is actually being represented by a commerce symbol.

Also on the right is the ancient symbol of medicine still widely used, The Rod of Asclepius (a single serpent twined around a staff). Here the serpent rises above its “patients” which it terrorizes, and the knob on the top of the rod is a human skull impaled on a large vaccine syringe. This rendition of The Rod of Asclepius more accurately captures the spirit of modern medicine.

The landscape that can be seen through the center is set both in autumn and in the evening to emphasize that it is the past, which is why our protagonists cannot go back that way.

They must push back against the New Normal, thereby maintaining open a doorway to a brighter future.

The press has largely ignored the Covid suicide outbreak… so it was a surprise to see so many articles on “self-love in the age of Covid” — almost as if the press were maximising the narrative of isolation, auto-eroticism and withdrawal from society.

Remember. There are no coincidences. Just somebody’s plans.

Your alternative update on #COVID19 for 2021-07-16. Why was 44yo Rehana on EoL midazolam? Spain’s Top Court Ruling Lockdown “Unconstitutional”

Is midazolam an end of life drug? Yes.
Was 44 year old Rehana anywhere near the end of her life? No.
Also, hydration, nutrients and treatment were being withheld from Rehana as part of the end of life pathway in defiance of her relatives wishes so they mobilised their local community in opposition.
How is the view from your head stuck in the sand position?

Capitalism that profits from a healthy society requires high road thinking. Instead, lazy-minded capitalists today are always trying to chase the low hanging fruit – profiting from chaos and disaster. Fascists aren’t interested in efficiency, much as they say they are. It’s inefficiency that’s the easier route. Don’t build structures to last longer than 10 years, mismanage food distribution to create false scarcity, keep the populace at low-grade illness to profit from their sickness as long as possible, Most importantly, don’t let real capitalism work properly by wiping out/absorbing small businesses through monopolistic brutality.

There’s no such thing as Capitalism, outside some conceptual test tube. The Name of the Rose, smelling by another name, just as it does today, is called MONOPOLISM. GKC wrote a century ago, “The problem with Capitalism is that there are far too few capitalists.” That was putting the word MONOPOLISM with an undeserved courtesy. Privateering as we know it: organized and carefully “managed” “shipping” enterprise, is just another word for PIRACY. Emphasis on the “private”. “Private Enterprise”. No wonder they hate Communism with what Martin Luther King Jr. called “a morbid fear”. It’s the same reason the Freemasons hate and have wished for centuries to destroy the Roman Catholic Church, particularly in its Vatican. It has nothing to do with religion in the latter, and nothing to do with ideology in the former. Just as the attempts to genocide Jews had nothing to do, really, with either religion or… Read more »

The artist is clearly not up to speed on critical race theory.
A painting that is not inclusive with the old stereotype of a white man coming to the rescue.
The cancel culture will have to get onto this obvious message of race hate. Expect an arrest anytime soon as his children are taken away for there own protection. He will be shipped to one of the new giant prisons being built for re-education.
The blogs in support of this thought crime have all been read and analysed by our new quantum computer. Your social credit scores will be reduced accordingly and extra monitoring of you put in place.

Puritanical reactions are themselves predicated IN and on betrayal. You demand perfect supports, allies and self-vindication? Then you betray your self. All of Man’s inhumanity to Man begins with attack on Self. But this is masked and hidden by the cover story of a world set in conflict. It is meant to be too complex to unravel because it operates as a divine defence to ‘attack’. It is not wrong to deny access to false or meaningless thought, but if your accept it, it runs as IF truth and usurps divine functions to serve its own – as a protection racket. The already deceived are very difficult to ‘reach’ because they literally perceive through the lens of a protected narrative identity. Vengeance and bitterness keep you in complicity.

OMG! Bossche said this would happen in the countries with the highest vaccination rates… Israel and US are up there… and both are getting hit now….

He also said this is just the beginning … some truly ‘unthinkable’ variants are imminent.

Reports of COVID breakthrough cases continue to rise — as of July 12, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 5,492 breakthrough cases resulting in death and hospitalization.

A breakthrough case refers to anyone who is diagnosed with COVID after being fully vaccinated. A person is considered fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving the second dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna COVID vaccine, or two weeks after receiving the single-dose Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine.

You are misinformed. It has already been noted that fields refill a significant amount in the industry.
Russian science uncovered uncovered the nature of oil as made within the Earth. Western Science being a corporate monopolism, blanked it, or denied it as official. But you can bet the science by which to locate that is technologised.

Incidentally ‘millions of years’ or longer is the modern substitute for what was once Creation. The mindset of amnesia distances from and locksdown in, a masking over of living world it can no longer SEE, for it is dissociated and alienated by its own face set in control over a sense of lack and threat that drives it.

My view: Artificial scarcity controls investment, as well as captured revenue streams. Narratives that set up profit opportunities are not based on domestic economics or variations on actual productive values, but on playing markets, capturing markets and setting up rigged markets – such as ‘Banking Nature’ and in particular banking on dissonance, disruptions, debt and negative based leveraging. ordinary minds cant think that way and so we don’t see it coming either. So just as sickness is a marketable crop to culture in a captive and groomed population under regulatory capture – expand the pattern to essentially pander to and feed our ‘lower or fallen nature’ or ego as a means to undermine Spirit (unified purpose or true function). Dysfunctional lack, limitation, conflict, pain, loss is then the essential conditions under which the same mindset offers or coerces ‘solutions’ that are its own private agenda.

Any Identity of investment in establishment operates within its parameters UNLESS recanting or releasing of their training/conditioning. I see Yeadon is open to questioning ‘virus’, nanotech, etc but focuses in simple basic human understanding of fraud, deceit and criminally destructive behaviours operating under corrupt institutional capture. He is glad that others are questioning and researching these other facets. I expect he feels his establishment credentials and loss of peer inclusion as a result of being outspoken, are worth something in the minds of many who are less certain of their own ability to navigate and integrate a mess of disinformation, and so feels useful where he is in that section of people. If he got involved in openly refuting some claims that are considered settled science but are dogma and mind-control, he would lose his place for many, even if bring a few within him.

Oil reserves and rate of consumption are very well quantified. The oil price is a spot price (supply and demand today) and does not reflect oil reserves (long term supply). The value of oil companies is entirely based on oil reserves they book. The incentive is to over book. What the real producible reserves are is anybody’s guess. New discoveries tend to be small. There are no more elephants. The original source of oil is irrelevant to this. Oil migrates, that’s how it is found, by looking for potential traps seismically. Faults or long buried landscape features (karst) But it migrates on the geological time scale as Fast Eddy says. Often the traps are empty. Most exploration wells are dry, and always were of course. I think going over a cliff is a good analogy. There is nothing in market economic theory to cover this case. There is no pricing.… Read more »

A command economy could probably design economic activity around energy available, and is taking steps to do this, but it needs full control. The Soviet economy seems where we are heading, where private enterprise was forbidden, and resources were directed into state projects.

What will these projects be in a world with one (privatized) government? Military, Security and supplying a life style to the Owners of course. The question is how big a Middle Class will they need, how many workers and what is to be done with the rest.

It’s a family business.

Thank you Jordan. I really like the way how you contrast the old normal versus the new. The old normal is depicted with vibrant colours, people who look happy and who are defying the new bleak narrative. The clothes of the girl and her father are life-affirming with red and blue (life and soul), the flower patterns resembling summer (emotional warmth) and a closeness to nature that would likely be lost in the new normal. There is a caring, loving connection between the two, and hope despite what is going on around them. Just like in your previous painting ‚Verity, her Son and the Credulous‘( which I have as a large print in my living room and enjoy looking at it every day), the two main characters do not lose sight of what is important in life, namely hope, humanity and love in the face of adversity and bleakness –… Read more »

Everything we have been told over these last 18 months is an orchestrated, pre-scripted screenplay that’s been crafted to sell a story. We are currently immersed in the most massive project of societal engineering, coercion and oppression yet seen, a replacement for but far outstripping the phony “war on terror”- and this is just the beginning. If we don’t push back now our lives and our children’s lives will never be normal again. We have been told many things to get us to this place. In this story it is said that if you demand that others put a barrier over their face to reduce their oxygen levels, which damage their lungs, and demand they poison their bodies with an untested toxic substance, as you have obediently done, then you are deemed a virtuous Saint of the State rather than a judgmental sadist.

Yep, the KoolAid drinkers are beyond reaching. My brother dished out verbal abuse when I criticised “masked muppets” lining up for dodgy PCR “tests”; turns out it hit a raw nerve as his wife has been poison stabbed.
He is in for a reality dose sooner rather than later.
A sister relayed a few facts to him recently and he replied “that’s debunked”. Debunked by Reuters FFS.
He thinks he knows it all as he reads “non MSM” such as The Guardian, Huffington Post, Crikey, etc. LOL

The other night at a dinner in a r’rant my sister told a long time friend that she won’t be stabbed and outlined some choice facts. The friend and her husband became silent and cold.
is called for the bill and told her husband “That’s the end of that friendship”.

Thanks Gezzah- same goes for you here.

I have watched that interview twice now and have seen multiple interviews of David Martin over the last several months.

While I think there is valuable stuff in there and he offers some valuable insights overall there is something about him that I’m not sure I fully trust. I can’t really put my finger on it- it’s only speculative.

Perhaps it is his manner of self promotion that puts me off even as I try to look past that. I certainly don’t have conclusive evidence of anything just an intuition.

And nobody seems care or understand the ramifications. Absolutely crazy and mind boggling. And when someone points this out they are targeted. Tucker Carlson has been talking about it. Dan Bongino too. House Democrats and The White House are targeting them for distributing “misinformation”. It does not matter if it is true. If the Democrats don’t want the information distributed then it is automatically misinformation. It is absolutely criminal. Violation of the Constitution.

Yes, you’re right, of course, so many people are experiencing concern/distress, due to their family and friends having gullibly chosen to adhere to what their Governments ‘told’ them to do… and thus rolled up their sleeves and had the injections. One can provide these non-thinking people with any amount of trustworthy, factual information, and yet they still choose to follow what they hear on their ‘Tell-Lie-Visions’. They just don’t want to acquire the actual facts, but prefer to go along with the falsehoods. I’m sure it’s the same with most people’s friends and family, that, as I’ve experienced with mine, they just can’t conceive of the fact that politicians lie (as the saying goes, “How do you know a politician is lying?

As Joki also observes, the entwined serpents are symbols of the great cycle, also represented by Ouroboros (snake eating itself), and the Phoenix (born from the ashes of its previous incarnation). This is more abstractly transformed into the Yin/Yang symbol – at the heart of the Chinese Zodiac.

If you look deeply enough into the meaning of this symbolism, you’ll understand all about Covid. You’ll be the wiser for it, enlightened even, but whether you’ll be happier for it is something I’m still pondering.

There will always be other explanations – to occult the true one.

You will also find it suggested that Yin/Yang simply means balance and harmony in all things – between opposites – night & day, etc. But, this can also be discovered to be said about the two triangles in the Seal of Solomon.

One could also suggest that Yin/Yang represents the two 12 hour periods of day & night, in the single 24 hour period of a day.

Ultimately, the meaning is celestial, hence the Zodiac.

That’s because Denver airport drew on the political murals of artists like Diego Rivera. Ironically he was much loved by plutocrats and the political art of the U.S. was near identical to that of the USSR at the time. Something of a clue to who was behind it all. See the murals of Rockefeller Center.

I like this work though my own taste runs to satire, including the late Soviet photography school of social cretinism, which the plutocrats don’t like at all and you can hardly find on Google. (Ever wonder why the Gettys buy up photographs?)

We’ve been subject to creeping authoritarianism for years, the pandemic neither caused it or was triggered by it. Authoritarianism at the executive level found momentum at the executive level during the Bush 2 administration with the rise of the doctrine of the ‘unitary executive’. This was pushed back somewhat during the Obama administration but returned with a vengance with the Trump administration since key figures in that administration were retreads from Bush 2. (Ignore the Reality TV show of Trump and family — they were really just a distraction.) Meanwhile we’re being fed the same line that we’ve had to swallow for 40-50 years, the “Government is out to get you”.

The extermination of the native Americans and the indigenous Australians. But these resulted in huge increases in the populations of these continents when European (and other) settlers moved in and exterminated the buffalo and the grizzlies. What is happening is an attempt to reverse post Columbus expansion since the assumptions made on resources were wrong.

Disclaimer: I did not read the accompanying text, only the title. Below are my thoughts/feelings on the painting only. It’s bleak, and depressing. Who in their right minds could be smiling when confronted by such a scene? Yet both the man and the child appear to be doing just that. Whether they are ultimately going into the doorway they stand in or are coming out of it or neither is not clear. The fact that both of them appear to cast shadows where they logically would not if the scene “outside” is real indicates that it is not meant to be taken as “real”, at least from their perspective, which may have been the artist’s intent. (The man’s right hand casts a shadow on what should be basically air, while his left hand demonstrates that the scene “outside” is two-dimensional and flat; the girl’s left hand casts a similar shadow… Read more »

I think the painting is expressing the fact that fear is not the way to go, distancing from all of this and building communities is. We could protest and so on but do you really think it’s going to make a difference? Asking our “masters” to not do that to us? It’s happening worldwide and there is so much money invested. Working on becoming independent, in communities, rebuilding and reconnecting by having fun while we dot it might be the solution (see https://thegreaterreset.org). Knowing full well that this is going to be very difficult on us (food shortages, energy shortages, and so on). Of course, we also might all just get killed via a biological weapon or whatever for doing this, this fight is David against Goliath, but we won’t make it if we try to solve the problem with the way we were thinking when this problem appeared.

It’s interesting (to me anyway) that when I first glanced at the painting I had the impression that the child was afraid of and trying to get away from the man; and that the man had a sinister aspect in his expression and body language.

In fact, the dynamic between child and man was so overpowering that I didn’t even notice the skulls. But then, I didn’t know that the painting was the focus of the article – I’m so used to seeing images of some sort at the beginning of an article here on Off Guardian that I sometimes barely look at them.

The images of the New Normals are on liths. Literally, the pair are between rock-hard places, and they are closing in. The pair’s hands cast shadows because the images are laid over stone. The encroaching fate is real, not imagined; stone, not ethereal. The path behind them is yet bright, and the perfection of tranquility, a meandering path through nature which can only be experienced, enjoyed. The modernists among us would see boredom bereft of attraction and entertainment. The young at heart, unschooled in the ways of tech, don’t yearn for more than the path offers. The daughter is dressed semi-formally, indicating an upbringing steeped in tradition, by a father who is wedded to the mother. The father is rather comfortably attired in loose casual clothes, dungarees for outdoor wear and tear and a bright, untucked, non-binding shirt, which for those who have respectable upper body and arms is a… Read more »

I like it. I’ve been enjoying my life very much during this. I’ve lost several people I thought I was close to. I’ve gotten closer to others snd discovered new friends. People who aren’t afraid of their so called “political leaders”. Life is worth fighting for. There are a lot of people who believe that. You have to get offline and throw out the TV to discover that… and maybe let some people who are close to you go. Or at least distance yourself from them.

That image looks to be from the same artist. I assume it is? At any rate, it makes me ask myself which one I think is the more valuable use of “art”: to depict things as they are, or as the artist wishes they were? If it is the former, then it would seem to me that art serves little useful purpose other than as decoration, and even then a mirror can accomplish the same things with less expense and ambiguity. Visual art of that kind is equivalent to “Dear Diary…”. Not without any value to me, just not as valuable. If it is the latter then the art affords me a greater opportunity to know something of both the world, and the artist reflecting it. It seems to me that there is more potential for value in that, where I take “value” to mean “availing towards Life.” Shining light… Read more »

I don’t have time or opportunity to paint, and I’m nowhere as good as the author here… I thought up a concept for an illustration, however, that could be painted by some enterprising artist: hundreds of masked people, marching like mice following the pied piper (Fauci, et al) towards a large syringe, and as they reach for the syringe, they walk straight off a cliff into oblivion. In the foreground of the picture, an unmasked man pulls another out of the crowd and talks to him (the one he pulls out of the crowd is beginning to remove his mask as he listens). The caption: “Society goes mad in herds. They only return to sanity one individual at a time.”

I upvoted but you should know your penultimate sentence (gotta use the word when you can), and your caption, is ass backwards. Humans demonstrate herd behavior as much as almost every other animal, and the Herd never goes mad, though its members can and do, but the rules of the Herd, or it’s Societal norms, are what keeps the Herd intact. The norms/rules of the Herd are by design to protect the Herd from an outside threat, not any individual members, except perhaps the females who will always be close to the center of the Herd. Once the external threat to the Herd disappears so does the Herd. To put it another way, when there is no threat from the outside, the members see no reason to follow the rules, and so too the reason for the Herd’s existence. Once the herd ceases to exist, the members literally devour each… Read more »

Visually hyperbolic. I am sure the painter is well intentioned, but this imagery lacks subtlety, to put it mildly. The scenes to the left and right depict scenes from a bad, grade ‘B’ horror flick. The fast closing door reveals, not a bucolic paradise, but a lurid post apocalyptic wilderness, which the painter himself says they two protagonist “cannot go back” to. So where is the bright future, or is this just the last gasp of the decimated ‘nuclear’ family group facing certain oblivion? How is this a door to a bright future. I don’t see it depicted, even though it is a stated intent. I leave it to others to comment if they wish on the two subjects depicted, both white, one child-like ‘party dressed’ female and the other a disheveled stronger male. No happy thoughts leap to my mind about these two. Is the man’s stance protective or… Read more »

In the end a visual creation must stand on its own, not on the intentions, or words that accompany it. The effect exists, essentially, in the mind of the viewer. This is more evident with music, which is an ephemeral sound touching the brain as it passes. To my mind the painting jarred. I was not aware that honest criticism on this site is, rather rudely, frowned upon, when it touches so close to an obvious fragility. I admire very much what is done on this site and the oasis is not perhaps as small as feared, although the powers of suppression can seem (they often do to me) insurmountable. I am sorry my comment came across with such dissonance, I did not realize the raw sensitivity. I remember Hopkin’s poem: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44395/gods-grandeur, which laments the new normal of his time, “And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;… Read more »

It’s not perfect imagery, and a bit cheesy to be honest, but it is just one dude’s effort to convey something from themselves – that I entirely appreciate Jordan ; ) It’s a projected feeling, not an instruction manual. Credit where it is due. I wouldn’t hang it in my mud-hut either but it is a good illustration. Maybe we’ll see it someday in a gallery, lest we forget ?

I can’t help but agree with you, I don’t know anything about art but !!! it reminds me of hipgnosis album art, Excellently executed but very one dimensional and glaringly obvious. The description below it sums it up, that’s it and no more. Art isn’t obvious, it has meaning that can’t be defined, an intangible depth. Take that picture of the farmer with a pitchfork and his wife in front of a church- it has such understated presence, it unsettles you in a way far beyond this one. Like a Hitchcock is so much more disturbing than one of those splatter movies. The invisible is missing.

Sadly this had been a response to Dann’s first comment and appeared as such in response to his line “I don’t see it depicted, even though it is a stated intent”.

Somehow it ended up down here.

The painting says the future is in you, the viewer of the painting- the writer says the doorway looks to the unchangeable past. The 180 of that is you.

I find it baffling that anyone is voting an opinion up or down, though since it doesn’t affect actual comment visibility I suppose it doesn’t do as much harm. Still, when I’m reading comments that respond to opinion pieces, which all art is, I expect to read… opinions. They’re not good or bad, and I’m not going to click a button to indicate my feelings on the matter because my feelings are never that simple. (I did accidentally click one yesterday, though, on another article. Apologies to whoever’s comment that was.) Your opinion is now tagged with a green (good/go/growth) number and a red (bad/danger/stop/blood) number, which colors (pun intended) every person’s view of your post thereafter, and unfortunately also colors everyone’s view of the prevailing opinion among the rest of “us”, too. Your green 6 and red 15 (as of this moment) “tell” readers that your opinion isn’t shared… Read more »
