    China’s White Paper Revolution

    ByMark Vallen November 29, 2022November 29, 2022

    On Nov. 27, 2022, I saw the surreal photo of a young man somewhere in China. He was standing on the street at night, and held a blank sheet of paper in his hands as if it was a sign in a demonstration. He wore a Covid mask over his eyes as a blindfold; it was a low-quality image taken…

    Eco-Extremists Shut Down Beethoven Concert

    ByMark Vallen November 24, 2022March 14, 2023

    On Nov. 23, 2022, thousands of Germans gathered to hear the Saxon State Orchestra Dresden perform the music of Ludwig van Beethoven at the Elbphilharmonie (Elbe Philharmonic Hall) in Hamburg, Germany. Before the orchestra could begin the performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major, two members of Germany’s eco-extremist group known as Letzte Generation (Last Generation), seized the stage….

    Last Generation attacks Andy Warhol BMW

    ByMark Vallen November 21, 2022March 14, 2023

    On Nov. 18, 2022, eleven members of the Italian eco-extremist group Ultima Generazione (Last Generation), invaded the Fabbrica del Vapore (Factory of Steam) art center in Milan, Italy to disrupt the exhibition Andy Warhol: The Advertising of Form. In particular, the vandals attacked a BMW M1 race car that Warhol painted in 1979. The eco-vandals outnumbered and overtook the museum…

    Eco-Vandals Pour Oil on Gustav Klimt Painting

    ByMark Vallen November 19, 2022March 14, 2023

    I have always been captivated by the art of Gustav Klimt, so I was enraged to hear that so-called “climate activists” had attacked one of his renowned paintings. On Nov. 15, 2022, two members of the eco-extremist group Letzte Generation Österreich (Last Generation Austria), raided the Leopold Museum in Vienna, Austria. One carried a 2-Quart rubber hot water bottle filled…

    Veteran’s Day in America, 2022.

    ByMark Vallen November 11, 2022

    November 11, 2022 is Veteran’s Day in America, but you’d hardly know it by reading the corporate press; there’s not a single mention of it on the “Google News” web page. To honor the veterans of all wars fought by the United States, Veteran’s Day is celebrated annually in November. It is a day of reflection, contemplation, and gratefulness. Many…

    Eco-Vandals Attack Warhol Campbell Soup Cans

    ByMark Vallen November 11, 2022

    On Nov. 8, 2022, two women from Stop Fossil Fuel Subsidies (SFFS) entered the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, Australia, and vandalized a famed silkscreen print series by Andy Warhol, Campbell’s Soup I. One vandal used blue spray-paint to draw squiggles on the framed artworks, while the other vainly attempted to glue a small Stop Fossil Fuel Subsidies red…

    Eco-Vandals Attack Goya & Van Gogh Paintings

    ByMark Vallen November 7, 2022March 14, 2023

    Predictably climate-extremists have attacked two more major art museums, as their campaign to coerce art institutions escalates. On Nov. 5, 2022, two members of the eco-extremist organization Extinction Rebellion walked into the Prado museum in Madrid, Spain. They entered Room 038 of the museum where the paintings La Maja Vestida (The Clothed Maja) and La Maja Desnuda (The Nude Maja)…
