From Patrick Cockburn’s “The Age of Jihad”:

From Patrick Cockburn’s “The Age of Jihad”:

” In the National Museum of Damascus are antique books of black magic and witchcraft listing curses and spells designed to dumbfound or destroy whatever enemy is targeted by the user. Alongside these tattered works lie a bible made out of copper, religious works from the Crusader period and, elsewhere in the museum, a striking stone statue of a falcon.

These look like impressive survivals from Syria’s past, but all are fakes confiscated from smugglers on their way out of the country for sale to foreign customers and dealers. Expertly manufactured in workshops in Damascus and Aleppo or elsewhere in Syria, these fraudulent antiquities are flooding a market full of unwary or unscrupulous buyers who find it easy to believe that great masterpieces are being daily looted in Syria in the midst of the chaos and war. ‘It started happening in 2015,’ says Dr Maamoun Abdulkarim, the general director of antiquities and museums in Damascus. ‘The looters had attacked all the ancient sites in 2013-2014, but they did not find as much as they wanted, so they switched to making fakes.’

There is a strong tradition of craftsmanship in Syria and, in addition many unemployed archaeologists and antiquarians are prepared to give expert advice to fakers. The results are often magnificently convincing, and come from both government- and rebel-held areas. In rebel-controlled Idlib province the speciality is making Roman and Greek mosaics, which may be then reburied in ancient sites too reinforced belief in their authenticity, and so the buyer can be shown persuasive film of them being excavated. “

The future looks quite cheery.

Millions of Americans have come to expect the unimaginable, but they can’t imagine a way out of the present either. So when a board of experts tells them that catastrophe is at hand, they read the news and think: Yep. And then they wonder what’s for lunch.

I have Fire and Fury and one of the possibly most nightmarish things in there is that Jarvanka have made a pact for a possible run for the presidency. If they do, Ivanka will run first, and after she’s done, Jared will also run. So just think about that for a moment, that might mean 23 more years of Trump rule.

I made this the graphic for the collection, but never posted the image. This is old as dirt, but never fails to bring me joy. The Mickey Mouse Pie Attacking Octopus Co. hates pie, their mission statement the global eliminate of pie wherever it may be found (particularly near fountains). The primary “muscle” of the MMPAOC is the Mickey Mouse Pie Attacking octopus, which hides (preferably in a fountain) with only its Mickey Mouse head visible, waiting to burst forth, and destroy pie, by any means (long sword, halberd, laser pistol, Magic Missile, wrench).
