Devolved Parliament
Calling Ilon Musk ‘a visionary’ is a heavy stretch of imagination. The man is a con artist. I would like to present you a real artist and visionary — Banksy!
Last night, his painting named ‘Devolved Parliament’ was sold for a record sum of £9,879,500 (around $12 million) at Sotheby’s in London. If you didn’t see this canvas yet, here it is:
The bidding battle lasted only 13 minutes. We still haven’t found out the name of a lucky owner, but the price has broken previous World Auction Record nine fold over!
Well, there are people who criticized his technique — a true mishaps. The work is not about technique. It is, before everything, a strong political commentary in the art form. Is it about Brexit? True, it was dusted off ahead of the March 29 deadline for Britain’s exit from the EU, but that deadline has been extended to October 31st, and the timing of auction was ideal from the political standpoint. But the canvas was painted a decade ago, which makes Banksy a visionary, who could extrapolate developments in the parliament into the future. What do you think, did he made too much of a compliment to the MPs?
Keep following Brexit news, and please don’t forget that those apes can destroy Julian Assange:

STOPJulian Assange is the personification of good non-crony, non-corporate colluding, non-government-funded, non-globalism guided, real and not fake free market capitalism. We have always had capitalism since the dawn of time. It is simply when you exchange your banana for my apple. That is capitalism. You might say no. But my definition of capitalism is very general and very simple. Now, what might be an alternative to capitalism?
No, it isn’t. That is a trade. Capitalism is not trading system but a production system. Not any production system, but exploitative system. Capitalism goes like this: “I have a banana plantation, and a group of you who are ready to work at my plantation all day are going to get one banana. The rest of you can drop dead.” Or as Marx has brilliantly defined it: “Capital is a relationship between people and regarding the means of production.” Capitalism is a system of exploitation based on that relation. That is capitalism in essence — Exploitation.
Alternative is simple: Instead of exploitation, there have to be cooperation. It is possible, and with blockchain, it will destroy capitalism — or capitalism will destroy the planet.
Wrong again. Julian Assange is simply the personification of true journalism. That is the reason big capitalist corporations AND state wants him dead. As the Trade, Truth existed before capitalism, and will live long after capitalism.
If you don’t read, you are made for manipulation. Here is one full Sttemit book written by the Philosophy PhD, Ljubodrag Simonović, who can explain to you many things better than I can:
