The Art-related side of the CIA Kulture Kontrol Klub is under reported in my opinion, in part because Art is considered totally relative and subjective, so this person's secular heavy metal band is another person's satan worshipping devil group; this person's taste in paintings of chained children doesn't break any laws whereas it shows a demented mind to another person (most of us actually). Just like the Marquis de Sade could write the most despicable disgusting torture scenarios, and it could be argued by good men of the Enlightenment that words in and of themselves are just ideas and break no laws and don't actually mean that those deed will ever come to pass.

Ok I get it. But the other side of the coin is the power of Art on the mind, and on culture. The CIA gets it, and that is why one of the CIA's main activities is to influence culture. If you have never read this article, please read it in full now http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/modern-art-was-cia-weapon-1578808.html MODERN ART WAS A CIA WEAPON.

Yes there were some stirrings of it already occuring, yes it might have been a quick movement on its own naturally, but modern art was actively promoted and instilled into the culture both pop and academia by a serious CIA effort to do so. And in doing so they endeavored to place a CIA friendly reporter at every newsdesk in America in every town. And they did it. And that was back when the CIA was arguably "nicer."

So what do you think the LSD dosed (see the book Acid Dreams if you don't know about that factor) CIA is doing these days regarding Kulture Kontrol? It is exactly this weird gore scene with demonic, pedo overtones that suddenly seems everywhere that passes for art these days, done largely by untrained and feeble minded (hate to generalize, so that's what it seems like) so called artists who are more interested in fake shock value no value productions than doing anything that will be considered interesting in 100 years.

tl:dr - Art is a strong influencer of culture (including having a possible demoralizing effect if that is what is intended), and is considered above criticism in most arenas. this can be a dangerous combination. The only thing worse is censorship, however i don't think public spaces should have depidtions of murder and gore like this as art https://vigilantcitizen.com/pics-of-the-month/symbolic-pics-month-0217/

As if by magic, this came up on my computer as I was writing this. PJW says it better than me, he just leaves out the invisible hand of the CIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyLUIXWnrC0
