Now that there is some good art!

THE NEA IS BEING TRANSFORMED INTO A GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA ARM

Germany had Goebbels, I guess The Obamunist has the National Endowment for the Arts (that you pay for and that just got a boat-load of porkulus money).

At Big Hollywood, an artist invited to an NEA conference call reports:

On Thursday August 6th, I was invited by the National Endowment for the Arts to attend a conference call scheduled for Monday August 10th hosted by the NEA, the White House Office of Public Engagement, and United We Serve. The call would include “a group of artists, producers, promoters, organizers, influencers, marketers, taste-makers, leaders or just plain cool people to join together and work together to promote a more civically engaged America and celebrate how the arts can be used for a positive change!” ...

Backed by the full weight of President Barack Obama’s call to service and the institutional weight of the NEA, the conference call was billed as an opportunity for those in the art community to inspire service in four key categories, and at the top of the list were “health care” and “energy and environment.” The service was to be attached to the President’s United We Serve campaign, a nationwide federal initiative to make service a way of life for all Americans...

We were encouraged to bring the same sense of enthusiasm to these “focus areas” as we had brought to Obama’s presidential campaign, and we were encouraged to create art and art initiatives that brought awareness to these issues. Throughout the conversation, we were reminded of our ability as artists and art professionals to “shape the lives” of those around us...

I leave you with a few statements made by the NEA to the art community participants on the conference call. “This is just the beginning. This is the first telephone call of a brand new conversation. We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government. What that looks like legally?…bare with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely… “
Did you get that? The NEA's mission is to communicate The One's directives on "healthcare, energy and the environment." As part of an "initiative to make service a way of life for all Americans."

All the pieces are falling into place. Like Beck says (like him or not), stand back and look at the big picture. It's all coming together.
