City prudes censor artist

 Coast News:


Months after San Diego artist Elena Karavodin received the exciting news that the City of Encinitas wanted to showcase her oil paintings for a public display, she was heartbroken to learn the city cited 11 of her artworks for obscenity and removed them from the exhibition.

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, Karavodin, who was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Encinitas, was invited by Brigid Parsons, the city’s former art program assistant, to submit some examples of her work to be considered for a display in one of the city’s public buildings.

“They gave me a call back and let me know they wanted my stuff to be hung and that made me really happy,” Karavodin told The Coast News. “I had submitted some examples of my work to them and also a link to my website so that they were able to get a full feel for my style and vibe.

  1. Member of "staff" Jennifer Campbell had the paintings removed. To watch her simper and prostrate herself before the mayor is to know the true meaning of the word "sycophant."

  2. Finally EG hits another home run. -

    BIA: If We Build It, Water Will Come

    “It’s a law of physics discovered by Isaac Newton,” said BIA spokesman Toro Mierda. “Buildings, asphalt and concrete attract rain. Much more rain falls on developed areas than undeveloped areas.

    “We have nothing to worry about here in California or anywhere in the arid West,” said Mierda. “We already have the solution. It’s more development. More homes, more commercial buildings, more roads, more parking lots, more people. If we cover the land with development, we’ll get more rain.

    “The reason for the drought in California and throughout the arid West is we haven’t developed enough of the land,” said Mierda. “It’s obvious that if we developed the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains, we’d get more snowfall in the winter and rainfall in the summer.

    “The snow would melt and run downhill just like the rain,” said Mierda. “We’d have plenty of drinking, bathing, sprinkling, car-washing, swimming and farm water. There would be no shortages or rationing. Millions upon millions more people could live in California, Nevada, Arizona and other Western states.

    “We could get rid of the desalination facilities,” said Mierda. “They kill a lot of fish and other marine life, and the salt slag they dump back in the ocean makes it way too salty.

    “So all the NIMBYs should wake up to the reality that the BIA already knows,” said Mierda. “We’re tired of hearing the naysayers whining. The answer is more development. Unlimited development will bring the rain!”

    1. It is! Anticipating one on Blakespear's "equity" committee. A guy can dream, right? Lots to talk about there..."stay tuned," as Barth's favorite city manager Gus Vina used to say.

  5. Beside promoting building more housing units in a desert without water and power, the second most retarded action is the school districts actions to harm our kids.

    Check out this article. The union itself recognizes that in person schooling is much more effective the virtual. https://www.foxnews.com/us/teachers-unions-praise-cdc-mask-guidance-california-equality

    Our school district sucks. I hope everyone looks into charter and private schools.

    I will also support candidate and propositions that give more tax dollars to charter schools and less to districts with union teachers.

    Union Teachers are bad for kids.

  9. Degenerate art, created by a degenerate people. Israel today is probably the most racist country in the world. The comparisons with South African apartheid or Jim Crow don’t even come close. Israeli racism is not even a distant relative of what you may call ‘racism’ in your country. A ‘racist’ American cherishes the names and traditions of his ancestors, or rejects the affirmative action that discriminates against him. An Israeli Jewish non-racist wants to keep the numbers of Goyim down, and he would be angry if called ‘racist’ because there are other Israeli racists who call for the total expulsion of non-Jews.

    Under Israeli law, if an Israeli citizen marries a Palestinian, the young couple cannot live together. In our example, Anton is an Israeli citizen and he has a blue ID; Sophia has no citizenship, despite being a native of the land, and she has an orange ID. They can’t live together in Israel proper, for a Palestinian woman cannot be brought into Israel-48 even if she is the legally wed wife of an Israeli citizen. They can’t live together in the occupied territories of Israel-67 either, for Israel does not allow its citizens to live in the occupied territories unless they live in a racially segregated settlement, and Palestinians aren’t allowed into such a settlement. Thousands of such impossible marriages, mostly between Palestinian citizens of Israel and Palestinian non-citizens of Israel, have taken place despite the prohibition. These married couples break the law every day of their lives, living illegally, without medical care and without the right to work or travel together. They are often stopped by the police and usually spend months in jail. For years they have been demanding the right to ‘family reunion’, government permission to live together legally on a permanent basis, but they aren’t even allowed to apply for it.

  10. Message to Blakespear crony the ADL: Americans do not share your values and abhors your anti-gentilism, Jewish supremacism, hypocrisy and double standards. In fact we urge you to stop subverting our society, leave our country and go to Israel, where there is real work to do in combating racism. We are not your slaves and will not obey any order from your side. Your organization was founded to protect a Jewish criminal who had raped and murdered a 13 years old girl. Thus from the very beginning your organization was morally compromised. Ever since you have endeavored to undermine our society while promoting Jewish criminal interests. The greatest service you could do to our nation is leaving us for good.

  11. I think it is so sweet. BIAspear put out the message to the world that all penniless and people that do not want to work but rather smoke pot all day by the beach and bum off residents, Encinitas is welcoming you and we will provide.

    70,000 new homeless are coming our way - estimated 70,000 Afghans who have worked for the United States — and their family members — are at risk of being killed as the Taliban push for a final victory.”

    Great job Bush/Biden and great job BIAspear. You all sure know how to screw your constituents. https://www.vox.com/2021/7/18/22582355/operation-allies-refuge-afghanistan

  12. An Israeli company’s spyware was used in attempted and successful hacks of 37 smartphones belonging to journalists, government officials and human rights activists around the world, according to an investigation by 17 media organizations, published on July 18th.

    One of the organizations, The Washington Post, said the Pegasus spyware licensed by Israel-based NSO Group also was used to target phones belonging to two women close to Jamal Khashoggi, a Post columnist murdered at a Saudi consulate in Turkey in 2018.

    One of them was his fiancee, and she and the other woman were targeted both before and after his death.

    The Guardian, another of the media outlets, said the investigation suggested “widespread and continuing abuse” of NSO’s hacking software, described as malware that infects smartphones to enable the extraction of messages, photos and emails; record calls; and secretly activate microphones.

    The investigation highlights widespread and continuing abuse of NSO’s hacking spyware called ‘Pegasus’ which the company confirms is only intended for use against terrorist groups, drug and human traffickers, and criminals.

    Pegasus is a very advanced malware that infects iOS and Android devices to allow operators of the spyware to copy messages, photos, calls and other data, including secretly activate microphones and cameras.

    Based on the investigation, the leak contains a list of 50,000 phone numbers that have been identified as those of people of interest by clients of NSO since 2016.

    The list includes many close family members of one country’s ruler, suggesting he might have instructed the country’s intelligence agencies to explore the possibility of tracking and spying on their own relatives.

  13. On July 14th, Israel’s government approved construction of 3,412 apartment units in the illegally occupied West Bank.

    The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) advanced the racist settler E1 project ahead of meeting between Jewish Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and US President and Israeli shill Joe Biden.

    The United States, the international community and the Palestinian Authority have objected to the plan, which they argue would prevent the contiguous development of a Palestinian state and render it unviable.

    Former Prime Minister and Supreme Racist Benjamin Netanyahu had pushed forward the project, which involves the construction of 3,412 illegal apartment units in an unbuilt area of the West Bank Ma’aleh Adumim settlement, known as E1.

  14. Jared Kushner was the envoy for the Mideast peace process, which made the USA a laughing stock of the world. Besides of just being totally incompetent, his family had long standing personal ties with Netanyehu. All Kushner wanted was to get in on the development of the West Bank, as real estate was his cut in the deal. Follow the money . . .

  16. I bet the art would have stayed if the objects in the paintings were black with their junk exposed. Then that would be just peachy with goons on the left.
