Mr. Clark, July 17, 2017

Thank you for your civil response (see below) to my opinion piece on the type of mural art being painted on our downtown buildings. I was gratified to learn from you that taxpayer monies are not being used to fund this project.

There are many articles written exposing the true meaning of “modern art” for those interested in the research, I will include a couple. Here is one: Communism’s 45 goals to destroy the United States

Jul 12, 2016 – Communism’s 45 goals to destroy the United States… “My child, you must …. Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”

Please note especially the items listed from 15 through the 20’s.

Another is: https://www.google.com/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/modern-art-was-cia-weapon-1578808.html%3Famp

Both were sent to me by readers of our distribution list. For those who have convinced themselves that all such facts are “conspiracy theories” there is nothing to say. For those who realize that something is very wrong and that our culture has changed drastically for the worst over the last several decades, there is much to learn and it is unsavory, distasteful and frightening. But learn we must if we are to save our culture, heritage & Western Civilization as a whole. Those in denial are complicit too.

Not wanting to believe or face the truth does not change it…it is what it is. The only thing that implements change is daring to look at true historical facts and to do whatever possible to change the destructive course set by those who seek to destroy individualism, freedom, rule of just law, civility, consequences for behavior, and all our Founding Principles, i.e. our Bill of Rights. Ignorance & apathy are our greatest weaknesses & make us vulnerable to the cunning plan of destruction throughout all our institutions.

Serious minds will research the Cultural Marxist history and tactics for accomplishing what they have already done to our culture. Those who are “in it” for the money or fame will denounce loudly. This project may be “world renowned” but millions of people can be and are duped on a daily basis in many ways. Actually that is proof of the success of the Collectivist movement to demolish what we once had…reason, peace, & others named above.

I do not pretend to understand the Collectivist/Marxist/Socialist/Communist mind-set, to me it is grotesque & inconceivable to want to live in their kind of world, but that is because the instigators are playing Chess, while us “normals” are playing checkers, if I may borrow a famous saying.

Again, I do appreciate your civil response to a negative critique of your Unexpected Project. I can only hope you and others will do some homework, unpleasant as it may be, on the causes of the negative changes & revisionism in our society & history. Knowledge is crucial to survival. Logic is crucial to knowledge. Courage to face truth in the face of criticism & sarcasm is vital.

Thank you for taking time to write and express your opinion regarding the now, world renowned, Unexpected Festival. I believe we will agree more than disagree, in that, i agree with you, art is subjective, which is why you enjoy such a wide variety and varying styles of work. The work downtown is paid for, funded by, local patrons of the arts and our city’s largest employers. We work with, one of, the preeminent curators in the world to organize the week, along with hundreds of motivated, local citizens volunteering thousands of hours to make it the success it is. The artists, who come to our city, from all over the world, spend countless hours researching and considering how best to convey their impression of our history AND our future. There have, literally, been millions of social media and online views, for the right reasons, for our city. Our City, chamber of commerce, office of tourism all enthusiastically support this award winning event.

Are there some pieces which appeal to me more than others? Of course!.. and that is art.

I invite and encourage you to participate in the wonderful resurgence of interest in our downtown.

Happy to answer any questions!

Kindest regards,

Steve Clark
