    “Angel of Harmony” Statue Destroyed.

    ByMark Vallen September 21, 2024

    On Sept. 17, 2024, a maniac used construction equipment to destroy The Angel of Harmony statue that stood outside the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica in Missouri. The 14-foot-high sculpture of welded stainless steel was created by Polish-American artist Wiktor Szostalo (born 1952). The sculpture had been on public display for 25 years before the goon knocked it from its pedestal…

    The AI Ayatollah

    ByMark Vallen June 24, 2024

    I viewed a Telegram video on June 22, 2024 that showed militant anti-Israel protesters taking over the Brooklyn Museum in New York City on May 31, 2024. At the actual May demonstration, pro-Palestinian crowds seized the museum lobby and hung a gigantic black banner from the pediment over the entry way that read: “Free Palestine-Divest From Genocide.” The June video…

    Climate Change Vandals Attack Stonehenge!

    ByMark Vallen June 20, 2024

    The prehistoric stone circle monument at Stonehenge was constructed over 5000 years ago in Neolithic Briton. It was constructed in phases from 3100 BC to around 1600 BC. Who built it and why remains an enigma.  Another mystery is, why did a duo of deranged eco-extremists from Just Stop Oil attack Stonehenge on June 19, 2024? At around 11:00 am,…

    Pro-Palestinians Vandalize Washington D.C. Statues

    ByMark Vallen June 14, 2024August 3, 2025

    On June 8, 2024, around 75,000 anti-Israel protesters came to Washington, D.C. for the “Surround the White House” protest against the war in Gaza. They ringed the White House with a 2-mile long red banner representing their demand for the cessation of US military aid to Israel. They called this, the “people’s red line.” The protesters demanded Israel enact a…

    Pro-Palestine Protestors Seize Brooklyn Museum

    ByMark Vallen June 1, 2024

    On May 31, 2024, up to 1,000 anti-Israel agitators swarmed the Brooklyn Museum in New York City, chanting “Free Free Palestine.” Museum employees rushed to lock the museum’s glass doors as the protest march approached. The radicals managed to seize the museum lobby, where they set up tents and hung banners on the glass wall enclosure of the lobby. The…

    Statues Vandalized in NYC Day of Rage

    ByMark Vallen May 11, 2024

    New York City, May 6, 2024. In what they called a “Day of Rage,” pro-Palestinian agitators defaced two of New York City’s finest public sculptures, the107th Infantry Memorial and the William Tecumseh Sherman memorial, both located in New York’s Central Park. On that day anti-Israel militants gathered at Hunter College in New York City for a march meant to disrupt…

    Art Treasures of the RMS Queen Mary

    ByMark Vallen April 3, 2024April 3, 2024

    On March 9, 2024, to celebrate her birthday, my wife and I visited the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Once owned by the British Cunard White Star Line, the luxury liner passenger ship sailed the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967. In ‘67 Long Beach purchased the Queen Mary from Cunard and she was permanently docked in…

    Pro-Palestine Vandal Destroys Painting of Lord Balfour

    ByMark Vallen March 9, 2024July 13, 2025

    On March 8, 2024, a woman from the UK group “Palestine Action” completely destroyed a painting created 110 years ago by the famed Anglo-Hungarian painter Philip Alexius de László (1869-1937). The group defines itself as a “direct action network dismantling British complicity with Israeli apartheid.” The vandal attacked László’s 1914 oil painting Arthur James Balfour, housed at the Trinity College…
