Don Quixote…de la Left!
Jordan Henderson
The pull of Right vs Left Politics is still so strong, at least here in the USA, that I feel the need to state at the outset that my motivation here is not to score any points for the Right. This painting – Don Quixote de la Left – is a picture of the Woke Left.
A few months ago I painted a similarly unflattering and honest portrait of the Christian Right. The intent of these paintings is to serve as open windows presenting clear views of dissenting perspectives.
Critically portraying both wings of the ruling class, makes it evident, I hope, that these works are not part of the Right/Left trap.
Early this year, lines of heavy trucks rumbled across Canada’s frozen north and converged on Ottawa to protest vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers. The protest swelled in number, expanding in scope to a protest against the Medical Police State in general.
The Ottawa Freedom Convoy was sufficiently monumental that even the mainstream “news” was eventually forced to acknowledge its existence whereupon they began slandering it. This coverage did not last long: the current thing changed, the Ukraine War was brought to the front of the world stage, and most everything else was shoved off the stage.
I’m revisiting the Freedom Convoy. I wish to spark additional conversation about it. So I created this artwork. I intend it as a tribute befitting the valorous deeds of the . . . counter protesters and Canadian police; I’ll immortalize their symbiotic relationship.
Like the knights of old, the counter protesters and police sallied forth to subdue the rabble of unruly peasants, putting them back in their proper place firmly under the thumb of the authorities.
The slander against the Freedom Convoy was not particularly sophisticated; it amounted to ignoring that the protest was obviously a protest against the Medical Police State, and instead making up stories about it being a vaguely racist/fascist/Nazi event where the racist/fascist/Nazis inadvertently brought anti-vax signs and forgot the racist/fascist/Nazi signs that they were supposed to bring.
The logic goes like this: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is definitely a racist/fascist/Nazi.
If they look like, act like, and sound like, people protesting the Medical Police State, then they must really be racist/fascist/Nazis disguised as freedom advocates.
Any evidence that supported the racist/fascist/Nazi narrative was widely trumpeted, and any evidence that contradicted this narrative was discounted – if it was acknowledged at all.
For example: The Nazi flag guy at the Ottawa Trucker Protest, whoever he was, fits the Establishment Narrative, so he represents the Freedom Convoy.
However, Sikhs at the Freedom Convoy, some of whom brought the Sikh flag, were an inconvenient reality that directly contradicted the Establishment Narrative. So according to those who wish to see the Freedom Convoy in a negative light, the Sikh protesters do not represent the Freedom Convoy.
Apparently the Sikh protesters do not represent anything at all; they are just “a Token.”
1 Nazi Flag Guy = Emblematic of the Freedom Convoy.
100 Sikhs = Token/Not Emblematic of the Freedom Convoy.
How does Candice Sero, an Indigenous woman at the protest who was trampled by the RCMP, fit the narrative?
…Well let’s just pretend that didn’t happen; ignore her, ignore tens of thousands of other protesters, ignore why they were there, and what they were about, and let’s get back to focusing on that Nazi Flag Guy.
As a counter-protester helpfully explained:
I tried really hard to de-emphasize issues of vaccination/COVID restrictions that were being used, in my mind, as cynical ‘wedge’ issues, and to emphasize opposing the convoy as a political vehicle of the far-right,”
This determination to see the Freedom Convoy as a racist/fascist/Nazi event, reality be damned, reminded me of the Ingenious Knight Don Quixote de la Mancha.
I built my painting around that famous knight, because tilting at windmills was the principal activity of the Counter Protesters and Police who suppressed the Freedom Convoy.
I present – Don Quixote…de la Left!

I have grown to intensely dislike the abominable windpower monstrosities. What a waste.
And so fucking UGLY. Windmills and rainbow anything. Green fraud and pedo rainbows. Running the gauntlet. The astroturfer political pressure group that pushed this upon us, these people should be made to run the gauntlet.
The thing is though “freedom” is a controlled opposition argument. When we have the fundamental “truth”, freedom comes automatically. It’s the “truth” of no virus that needs to be argued for not freedom not to have a jab that absolutely nobody should be having, no choice about it. There should be no freedom to have the jab, no one should be allowed to have it now even if they want it because the only reason they’d want it is brainwashing.
That makes no sense, Petra. How much use will the “truth” of no virus do you if you are forced to have the vax and have no freedom to refuse?
I’m not sure why what I say doesn’t make sense to you, Sophie. The truth of no virus automatically means there is no requirement for the jab. The fundamental problem is that there is no requirement for the jab not compulsion to have it. It should be absolutely banned not a choice.
Equating truth with freedom is rather strange to me. You can inform a slave they are a slave very truthfully, particularly if they’re too disempowered to do anything about it! I believe history corroborates this quite well! As time goes on, if we get too bogged down in semantics, perhaps we won’t need the truth kept from us any longer, and TPTB will finally be able to drop the act and inform us, very truthfully, that we are in fact modern slaves, and half of us will be too exhausted to do anything about it (from all the in-carping) and the other half so brainwashed with newspeak they really will hear ‘freedom’ in place of ‘slavery’. The dangers of brainwashing to one side, justifying mandating NO jabs on the grounds that sections of the population are mentally incompetent sounds as if recent authoritarianism is starting to rub off on you… Read more »
When it comes to mind control truth = freedom because the only thing that needs to happen for that mind control to not work any more is to recognise that mind control is happening and what the truth is. If everyone recognised the pandemic psyop many more people would just stop agreeing to comply with the controls and it wouldn’t work. The reason I’m interested in psyops is that they’re all about mind control and all that needs to happen to stop them working is recognising it, that’s what appeals. So many other problems in the world require more than simply recognising something, they require action, negotiation, prioritisation, etc whereas with mind control it’s like having a magic trick explained to you … except what I realise is that the phenomenon of mind control by the power elite is so very, very hard to get through to people, they have… Read more »
Neither does having the -dangerous- injection. On telegram I saw photo’s
(before and after) of a baby that was given a transfusion with the blood of a vaccinated person. About which the parents had explicitly stated they would not allow for transfusion if unclear from an injected person or not.
Anyway, bloodclot from the little baby’s ankle upto it’s tiny neck.
Invasive operation, dead shortly thereafter.
I myself suspect that the current virus-paradigm of contagion-treatment with allopathic poisons and philtres (what loonies such as me like to call pharmakeia) fits a lot better if in this model one links disease with parasites.

Here is a four minutes short (and recent) video from David Yates about Füllmich:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J3J0McBkho
Additionally, I received notice that Viviane Fischer is to be kicked from the board of the party “Die Basis” (“the Base”).
You can’t make this up any clearer for controlled opposition, as they overuse translations of “the Base” (al–Qaeda, Arabic al-Qāʿidah – “the Base”).
You can’t make this up any clearer for controlled opposition, as they overuse translations of “the Base” (al–Qaeda, Arabic al-Qāʿidah – “the Base”). This is just idiotic. ‘Die Basis’ is a perfectly normal and commonly-used German noun. It is not a translation of anything. The CIA did not invent it, nor does it hold copyright on it. (Name me a language that doesn’t have a word meaning ‘base’ / ‘basis’. I’ll wait.) Re: “controlled opposition”: Here’s Mr Yates himself, speaking in the very video you yourself just posted: “And all this shit about [puts on the voice of a stupid, annoying person], ‘Oooh, I told you he was controlled opposition!’ – that’s now coming to the fucking fore.” Q.E.D.

It’s the oldest trick in the book, no? Put out an “investigative committee” who supposedly represents all the truth and justice seekers. I knew Fuellmich and Wodarg were controlled opposition virtually from the beginning.
Too good to be true for a start. And sadly did not deliver
I have heard Nuremberg mentioned quite frequent.
Nuremberg. The Nuremberg Code. Wonderful and noble.
Did not do the german prisoners much good when they were starved to death in the Rhine meadow concentration camps AFTER ww2, in 1946 en 1947.
Then again, how do we get the killers and terrorist gangs, I mean the US/NATO members to again ratify and respect this code? Could be -is- relevant with regards to the biolabs etc.
Controlled opposition recognition, infiltration and now full blown paranoia is the official machination that is gallantly “brought to you by”………..
Brilliant!
pure stupid anti Russainsubtext
I first knew of your work Jordan when I saw your painting Sanity And Her Son published at Offguardian in 2020 during the harsh lockdown here in Melbourne; which is one of the main testing grounds for the rollout of Agenda 2030 and Smart Cities, aka the digital panopticonic prison the cabal wish to impose on us. Seeing such a powerful, poignant and evocative image bought me close to tears. It is now something that inspires me to keep resisting, to keep saying no to these bastards. I will never comply. Melbourne, and Australia in general is home to quite a few of these so called “socialist groups”, all masquerading as anti establishment, when in fact they are doing the bidding of the establishment. All of them heavily imbued with identity politics and wokeism, while quoting Marx! In reality, they are spoilt, middle class brats, most of them University students… Read more »
Thank you for sharing these kind words regarding the effect my artwork has had for you. It’s always an honor to hear that my paintings have had a strong positive effect on someone; it makes my day! – Jordan
There are plenty of pictures from the WW2 era of servicemen sporting ethic headgear that includes Nazi emblems. (They look particualrly good on fezes.) As with everything from that period of history things were never quite as black and white as later revisionists would like them to be. These days our perceptions of that period are warped and shaped to suit whatever agenda that we’re being fed. The question that was never answered about the Ottawa truckers is “who paid for them?”. Truckers, especially the owner/operators in this protest, are not on the whole rich people, they exist in a world where everything is dependent on them “making the payments”. They can’t afford to sit around doing nothing unless someone or something is indemnifying them. Based on our knowledge of Astroturf this may well be a political operation that’s designed to harass government in the hope it can be changed… Read more »
Many Canadian truckers make their living by crossing the border into the USA and then returning to Canada. The vaccine mandate prevented them from crossing the border and making a living. They didn’t need outside finance to incentivize them to fight/protest for the right to make a living.
Hahahahahah.nice one. So you distinguish between earlier and later revisionists.
That is your every right. It took me quite a few years before I stopped feeling guilty for accepting that Anne Frank was not and never has been a literary genius.
And that the holycaust has been used to guilt trip europeans, and manipulate and social engineer them and teach them to hate their own.people and countries.
Nazi emblems: allegedly the symbols of the secret fraternity Skull & Bones
are also SS symbolism.

I’m sad and I’m upset it’s hurting my heart humanity needs to rise.
Offgaurdian I’ve posted more I can’t find it if your not with me your against me.I watched people being degraded going to their deaths I can’t understand how we let that happen 60 years ago it’s not that long I wasn’t born.Now we are letting people go to their deaths by injection it’s the bloody same it’s genocide.I’ve known more people dying because they have had the injection than dying of the virus.I know alot of people and they are falling down dead parents.

In Germany, everything, everyone and anything that does not fit into the centre/left/green/globalist narrative is smeared as being far right ever since the late 60s.
I actually died a death spiritually when covid came out.I watched the shops shut,I watched people act strange.All because a corporation wanted to get rich on our suffering.
You can’t have died spiritually, it’s just that your spirit has temporarily fallen.. But it will rise, don’t be so depressed. The spirit dies only in the good, in the long-lasting pleasure, hedonism, staring at materialism, which makes it small. (Not that he’s dying, but he’s sleeping soundly.) Well, at least it doesn’t sound bad when it’s said that way. 🙂 (But seriously, I have not seen, heard, or read that anyone has been elevated in spirit, because he has prospered greatly. Now, taking away the pleasure and the idea that the pleasure will continue is one of the main reasons for anxiety. But, no doubt, the material is short-lived, and if you are very fixed in it, now comes the end of joy. Suffering does not bother me much. Obviously, here, my scenarios for the development of the situation are among the most hopeless. But never since… Read more »

The Jpost’s ranking comes on the first of two days marking Ron Hashanah, the birthday of the universe in Judaism, and the beginning of the New Year 5783 according to the Jewish calendar, which is celebrated from the evening of September 25th to September 27th.

Innocent people protested obvious tyranny and were subverted for it. Over a computer generated hoax. The story of covid isolation: “One sample (WIV04), collected from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), was analysed by metagenomics analysis using next-generation sequencing to identify potential aetiological agents. Of the 10,038,758 total reads—of which 1,582 total reads were retained after filtering of reads from the human genome—1,378 (87.1%) sequences matched the sequence of SARSrCoV. By de novo assembly and targeted PCR, we obtained a 29,891-base-pair CoV genome that shared 79.6% sequence identity to SARS-CoV BJ01.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7095418/ What is metagenomics? “Metagenomics is defined as the direct genetic analysis of genomes contained with an environmental sample… The DNA extracted should be representative of all cells present in the sample and sufficient amounts of high-quality nucleic acids must be obtained for subsequent library production and sequencing.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3351745/ What is De novo assembly?

The limitation on this hangout is that it’s only “new” findings that are dubious and obviously everything up to this point is fine. Don’t worry that they have to invent dark matter and dark energy to make their current models work.

You mean photons? No, I think they found those some time ago.
As particles or waves Sophie?
Or both?
Must be temperature dependant, like H2O.
Or, does it depend on the position of the observer?
You said they were looking for photons, not trying to explain them.

Lovely painting indeed. If I had one wish I would wish that all Canadians go back and watch each and every live streamer who covered those protests. They would understand why the government’s handling of this matter was beyond atrocious.

Staying in bed … even ‘mentally’ is probably exactly what the bastards want. Just witness, around you, the increased preponderance of mental-issues and depression sweeping most communities/countries, etc. It becomes obvious that a lot of careful planning has gone into the ‘plandemic’ …

The problem with nearly all civil protest, is that civil policies create all civil villains… That is: “Authorities” rise from the consent of the enslaved. The corporate State is a choice, period. Civil participation in economic systems which rely on extortion and fraud, are of their own making… Complain and lie all you want.
While the rest of the world suffered the 2008-2009 Great Financial Crisis Australian politicians boasted of Australia’s “23 years of uninterrupted growth”…
That growth was maintained by Australia’s high import of migrant-consumers to drive the Consumer Economy…
The lack of REAL jobs meant the hospitality sector that functioned to absorb the many ejected from other sectors was near over-saturated, burgeoning…
(The sector was massively affected by The Lockdowns)…
What went unnoticed while the politicians sung the praises of their “Management of The Economy”, was the opening in nearly every suburb in the cities, especially in Sydney, of Red Cross, and St Vincent (“Vinnies”), second hand (clothes) stores…The monied classes were shedding their clothes as fast as they could spend…while hospitality workers sought amongst the second hand clothes for what their low wages could afford…
‘23 years of uninterrupted growth’
That’s nothin!
In Australia we’ve had more than 200 years of uninterrupted plutocracy, exploitation of the underclass, sycophantic governments and filthy lies.
They are even out here in the lost lands of aust…along with endless coffee shops for the already obese retirees to eat cake and be happy….they all lined up for the vax so they could continue so the coffee shops sort of stayed afloat out here,…
pinch is now showing….and will squeeze in due course as rent and energy bite…along with lost pension funds. We won’t be boasting anything by then…oh and we are still madly importing fruit/veg pickers here… got to keep the exploitation angle going….
The (former) NSW state buses are advertising for workers…National supermarket chain is advertising for workers…It appears there’s not a shortage of workers. The supermarket sacked all its “unvaxxed”, Seems it wont rehire them…
Queensland is rehiring unvaxxed sacked teachers to solve the crisis the government made, rehiring on condition they accept their wages being docked as “punishment”…Employers & government recently held a ‘summit’ to promote the idea of a “skills shortage”…The consumer driven economy needs an influx of MORE migrants, The Economy being so dependent on more consumers for its ‘health’……
The “pandemic” didnt kill so many workers that it created the promoted idea of a skilled worker crisis…
Teachers with ethics and gumption. Wish there were more of them.
I don’t understand why the scoundrels in Canada don’t like Nassis?!? They LOVE Ukrainians…
I love your art and its messages!
Apparently the Nazi flag guy was just trying to parody Trudeau and our fascist government and he was escorted away by the truckers. Meanwhile our coward prime minister was hiding somewhere with a case of Covid.
I thought it was a Confederate flag at the Canadian protest and it was more the German protesters who were accused of Nazism (especially when an obvious agent provocatuer tried to storm the Reichstag)?
Merkel made just as much of opposition being supposedly far right as Turdeau which again reveals the fake left/right divide. Now Merkel’s replacement as leader of the CDU is the former head of BlackRock in Germany.
Could be…. I am losing track of the details.
Speaking of that special kind of terrorist…
Wow is that photo shopped or was he visiting his pals in Ukraine? I reviewed the trucker protest flag question and looks like both confederate and Nazi flag were displayed. The confederate flag guy was escorted away by the truckers. I saw an interview where I believe someone claimed the Nazi flag guy was attempting parody. I wasn’t there and it’s all second hand info on my part. I would be interested to know exactly what the Confederate flag person was thinking…. Maybe it should have been a French flag to work in Canada. 10 people see an accident and they all see something different. Details matter.
The Nazi flag guy may have been planted by antifa to discredit the protest.
He was flying the wrong flag!
Some US “alternative” media have stressed the right-wing nationalism of the use of the Canadian flag by the truckers and others. As a USian living in Canada, I must object. I doubt that the majority of American ever think of Canada, except as a US appendage, or would even remember its flag (except a vague memory from the Olympics).
When a country under the thumb of a powerful hegemon raises its flag, it is NOT the same as the hegemon itself raising its flag. Perhaps, in small part, by some. but it is really an attempt to be the mouse that roared and to counter the characterization of dissidents as the “fringe minority.”
“Popular Resistance.org” echoes the spook Leftism that hasn’t changed by a cow’s fart since the covid show began: Despite What Biden Says, the Pandemic Isn’t Over A big round up of the surging spurting tidal tsunami schumani of variants which have killed every single American and will do so again unless they all get vaccinated. Delta, Ommicrommi, that BA 1812 Overture thing and of course the really looooooong cooooovid. It’s all here! Be sure to order yours while stocks last! A People’s Analysis Of A World On Fire (Oh look! They say “organic intellectuals”! This is a real serious Marxy type thingy!) Crisis of neoliberalism, global COVID-19 crisis, current war in Ukraine, tensions in Taiwan, energy crisis, inflation, climate crisis, food crisis, economic crisis, a crisis of crises! And even … a crisis of the Left! What’s that then? Oh the usual WSWS type round up about how we need… Read more »
Oscar Wilde on journalism and media
“It was a fatal day when the public discovered that the pen is mightier than the paving-stone, and can be made as offensive as the brickbat. They at once sought for the journalist, found him, developed him, and made him their industrious and well-paid servant. It is greatly to be regretted, for both their sakes.
Behind the barricade there may be much that is noble and heroic. But what is there behind the leading-article but prejudice, stupidity, cant, and twaddle? And when these four are joined together they make a terrible force, and constitute the new authority.”
– Oscar Wills Wilde –
(October 16, 1854 – November 30, 1900)
I guess you had time to go to Canada and do this nice writing because of the break for the funeral show. Take your time but don’t be late for the Brighton game on Saturday.
“Popular Resistance”, clearly another polystyrene squib from the same sewer that produced the WSWS. Their quote is a giveaway: I tried really hard to de-emphasize issues of vaccination/COVID restrictions that were being used, in my mind, as cynical ‘wedge’ issues, and to emphasize opposing the convoy as a political vehicle of the far-right… The vax/covid restrictions i.e. the absolutely central focus of the convoy is relegated to a “cynical wedge issue”. And the new central issue? Only this constantly repeated and utterly vacuous “Right” and “Left” waffle. Hence “Far-right” is mentioned 15 times, and “right-wing” 9 times. Whilst we hear about the “heroes”: “the radical labor union the Industrial Workers of the World” and “the progressive group Horizon Ottawa”. But it was clear that this insistence on repeating the now empty political labels was in serious trouble. The new public had grown out of this obsolete and ossified mind control.… Read more »
aye, no bad,
the detail blur at header was enough,
some popular superhero, with a rainbow flag, aye..
“twin peaks” ?
we don’t need the tilt at svastikas, overkill. point made in the edit.
: ) tuppence worth.
I think I can identify why the header would stand out more to you than the whole image. It is probably simply the matter of reducing full sized paintings to a smaller scale; it can result in artworks looking crowded because of the small scale, whereas at life size/a yard and a half across there is plenty of breathing room and room for the viewer to “step into” the painting. This is why I have started providing headers which are details/close ups from the painting; it allows the viewer to experience at least a portion of the artwork at scale.
thanks for the response, and noted.
The hope is that these narratives are becoming so disconnected from reality that only the truly hypnotizable are the only ones that believe it fully.
contrast current propaganda with past propaganda… Like the society that supported witch burning, slavery, or apartheid… Those w
Those were groups that had wider support, sadly due to race, sex, or religious lines.
these days the propaganda is so narrowly focused that it excludes the majority.
