There are pictures of other pieces of Podesta's art in the Washington Life profile. The creator of this piece, Biljana Djurdjevic, has stated in an interview that this series of paintings was inspired by stories of child sexual abuse.
Here's another room in Podesta's house. Strange paintings to want to have staring back at you every day when you walk through your living room.
Here are more of Djurdjevic's paintings from the same series, in case there was any confusion about the theme.
I thought that the tiled backgrounds were meant to be a swimming pool or shower area. But then a friend who worked for years in a slaughterhouse told me that it looked like his old workplace. Indeed, another painting in the series shows hooded butchers in a tiled room.
In an interview, Tony Podesta was asked about some of his most favorite artists. One of the few he mentioned is a sculptor named Patricia Piccinini, who creates figurines of monsters and children.
More from Piccinini...
In another interview, Podesta mentioned a woman named Kim Noble as one of his favorite artists. Noble has spent her life institutionalized for schizophrenia and dissociative personality disorder after being regularly raped between the ages of 1-3 years old. *CAUTION: Disturbing*
Several of Noble's multiple personalities make "art" depicting her childhood experiences. Don't say I didn't warn you.
More from Kim Noble
There is much more to the story. For a fuller discussion of the implications, listen to my discussion with Pete. I also did a series that ties all this into the Epstein saga. martyrmade.substack.com/p/epstein-the-…
Last word: Some people are into depraved stuff, and none of this means we're definitely ruled by Satanic pedophiles. But we have the right and responsibility as citizens to demand exactly WTF people like this are doing anywhere near the levers of power. Gonna go shower now.
Of course everyone knew. Epstein didn't name his private plane the Lolita Express... other people did. Everyone knew what he was about when they got on that plane to go to Thailand or Little St. James.
People who just left a party at Tony Podesta's art gallery full of dead kids, after attending a Spirit Cooking dinner where they pretended to drink blood and semen and ate off mock corpses, wouldn't find it *that* weird when Epstein offered them a massage from a 14-yr-old girl.

About 150k Jews served in the Wehrmacht during WW2, compared to 50-60k Jews in the UK military. The highest ranking Jewish officer in UK history was only a brigadier, while Hitler had ~30 Jewish generals & admirals, and his last head of the Luftwaffe was a Jewish field marshal.
Obviously this is a fact without context, but it’s interesting nonetheless. There were only 500-600k Jews total in Germany. ~250-300k of those were men, and many of those were too old or young to serve. IOW a very large % of eligible German Jews served.
I would hesitate to draw any hasty conclusions. But the fact that most people would find it unbelievable shows that things are more complicated than the mythic version of the story.
This list assumes you know the History Channel version of the war, and are looking to understand it from different angles. None of these authors are dreaded revisionists, and buying these will not land you on whatever lists I'm now on. /1
1. Churchill, Hitler, and The Unnecessary War, by Pat Buchanan
In the early 20th century, Britain was 'the empire on which the sun never set'; by 1945, she was a 2nd-rate power in a world dominated by the US & USSR. This book documents the blunders that lost Britain her empire.
2. Human Smoke, by Nicholson Baker
This book consists of a series of chronologically-ordered snapshots and moments-in-time that manage to generate a narrative momentum that, by the end, somehow makes the war seem both inevitable and unavoidable. Highly recommended.
Time for a Churchill thread? Time for a Churchill thread. Let's do this.
Why I think Churchill was a chief villain of World War 2. /0
I know that sounds like hyperbole. Churchill didn’t order the most deaths, oversee the most atrocities, or commit the worst crimes. But most of those crimes could not have been committed if the war had not happened, and Churchill was the leader most intent on making it happen. /1
You'll think, "But Darryl, everyone knows the war started after Germany invaded Poland, + Austria & Czechoslovakia before that. It could have been prevented if only people had listened to Churchill , and taken a tougher line against Hitler." And you might be right. Sort of. /2
Because they insist on the primacy of words, and reject as irrational the idea that both are happier when the man sees his job is not to achieve a meeting of minds, but to manage her emotional state, keep her calm, content, optimistic… less like your bro, more like your horse.
She won’t like hearing that, so don’t say it to her. But make that shift and thank me later.
Yes, but she has to learn to treat you like a child in some ways, too, like “aw, he thinks the sounds coming out of his mouth mean things and are important…”
This is a list of science/engineering achievements, but also a description of capital flows. The way to make big $ in the 2000s was through finance and tech, and too many of our best brains were wasted creating CDOs and dick pic apps.
Add in that labor & regulatory arbitrage provided industry w/an easy way to drive up the bottom line without the risky business of innovation, and you get what we have now, secular stagnation or whatever.
