That's an amazing painting. You are incredibly productive. I'm regularly in awe of how you observe and frame things, the way you wrap words around them, the artistry in how you paint, and also how much of it you do. It's often an emotionally trying thing for me to keep aware of the scale and level of greed and horror that some humans perpetuate upon the world and each other. You being even more aware and involved than I can keep up with helps me feel a nourishing solidarity. I'm not the only one not under the spell of this insidious global narrative manipulation, you're here calling it out and you have a tribe of followers. Thank you.

Beautiful picture. All the sadness and anguish is shown in her eyes. Very telling. 😢

Will today be "False Flag Friday", er "Jihad Day" as hinted?

Thank you for your work. Thank you for putting into picture what I can’t can express in words. The grief I feel has silenced my brain and not even my rage can get thru.

Caitlin's work is like an island of beauty, sanity and hope in a sea of turmoil and ugliness. More power to her.

Wow! Caitlin you must be the reincarnation of one of the great Italian painters - Leonardo daVinci for instance. He was a polymath like you. He was unlike you necessarily male. Mrs Caitlin da Vinci relegated to cleaning up his paint brushed and serving him tea .

The confluence of major religions and they have been fighting in The Middle East for over two thousand years. They'll still be for another two thousand years except . . .

The Middle East Question will resolve itself soon enough and in a time measured in a decade or so as The Climate becomes impossible and temperatures approach or exceed 35C Wet Bulb and high dry bulb that render air conditioning heat exchangers inoperative and survivability impossible anywhere, no matter how much cold water one drinks.

Everyone leaves because everyone must leave.

Who will the hard religious classes blame? More similar than different.

They can hardly blame themselves. Not in their constellation of self-serving, constructed justifications.

Others must be put at risk

Relocate to other neighbourhoods in foreign countries under the Western Liberal Order Open Border Narrative, under a presumed divine prerogative that they arrogate to their elevated selves.

The last place one would want any of this class is near you . . .

Ok Cathie, I'm following you. But this subject of Gaza still troubles me. I really believe that one of the most sofisticated armies and secret services in the world would have known of all the preparations of Hamas opperation. Sure they knew and they just let it happen. It is one of the best pretexts for an overwhelming wiping out cleansing opperations. "We will let them expose themselves and afterwards we will smash them completely. Of course, all the corporate media will focus on their violence and will legitimate ours even if we will be infinitely more bloody than whatever they do".
