LE CORONART. THE CORONART. THE COVIDART

 

La dénomination italienne d'arte povera, "l'art pauvre" présente cet intérêt, en comparaison d'autres comme "l'art conceptuel", qu'elle appelle un chat un chat et ne dissimule pas la vérité : Effectivement l'art contemporain officiel est un art pauvre. Pauvre en beauté et pauvre en signification partagée. Sa seule richesse est sa parfaite conformité avec l'idéologie mondialiste : c'est un art sans racines ethniques et culturelles. Cet art contemporain officiel s'est imposé dans tout l'Occident et cherche à conquérir la planète, on pourrait aussi l'appeler l'art viral, le Coronart, le Covidart, car il est une pandémie mortelle pour les Beaux-Arts.

 

The Italian denomination of arte povera, "poor art" has this interest, in comparison with others such as "conceptual art", which it calls a cat a cat and does not hide the truth: indeed, official contemporary art is poor art. Poor in beauty and poor in shared meaning. Its only richness is its perfect conformity with the globalist ideology : : it is an art without ethnic and cultural roots. This official contemporary art has imposed itself throughout the West and is trying to conquer the planet. We could also call it viral art, the "Coronart", the "Covidart" because it is a deadly pandemic for the Fine Arts.

 

 

UNDERSTAND THE CONTEMPORARY CONCEPTUAL ART (4) THE ART OF THE TOP EYE. A SMALL HISTORY OF PATHOLOGY.

 

"Look at our art, we have the aesthetics of our ethics: a cry in the desert."

Jean DUCHE. The Shield of Athena The West, its history, its destiny 1983

 

"You can make to peoples swallow anything," says one expert: MARCEL DUCHAMP (interview on the express 23 July 1964) Under the name of art, for more than a hundred years now, to peoples have been made to swallow anything. We are in the midst of unreality, what is officially considered to be the art of the 20th century and the beginning of the current century has no connection with art, it is anti-art, non-art, hoax.

JEAN LOUIS HARROUEL Contemporary Art, Great Falsification Jean Cyrille Godefroy 2009

 

"A work is recognized as a work of art because it has won the test of criticism, public opinion and time."

Mikel DUFRENNE (1910-1995 Universalis. Artwork)

 

 

1) The old pathologies: the chosen peoples.

2) A new pathology: the enlightened

3) Political and social consequences of the new pathology: The Initiation.

4) Back to art. The Contemporary Conceptual Art or the Art of the Top Eye

 

Art is what you believe. And art makes you believe in what you believe. Art also makes you believe in what you would not believe, if you were free to believe.

 

1) The old pathologies: the chosen peoples.

 

 

When visiting the Museums of Contemporary Art of Europe, always installed in very expensive buildings, with a very generally remarkable architecture, designed by prestigious architects, the visitor is necessarily led to ask himself: How do they manage to impose this official contemporary anti-art, everywhere ugly, absurd, provocative, botched, sad, uprooted, obsessional, and as a result of all this, totally artificial ?

How do they manage to hold this obscure, incomprehensible, hermetic discourse everywhere, closed to the common people? And why is that?

It's easy to understand: They do it on purpose.

The Why is also simple to understand, as for ancient art, it is the ideology that inspires this art.

Official Contemporary Art is not a coincidence, an accident, a temporary error, it is a will, a project, in the long term, for society. A project which corresponds to a relatively recent ideology in human history, a new religion, that of man and of his reason. It is in the name of this faith in the human Raison that our elites want an art separated from the peoples, an art for an avant-garde of the chosen ones of the Intelligence, of Initiates, to which they claim to belong. For the elites of past centuries, art was a means of communicating with peoples and influencing them through the transmission of a shared ideological message. Art was not reserved, but rather a common good between elites and peoples.

Contemporary ideological and political elites have turned official contemporary art into an apartheid art, an art reserved for the enlightened, the initiated. It is true that these elites have new means of communication and propaganda towards the peoples: Schools, television, cinema, radio, mass media, advertising. The role of art as an instrument of indoctrination has become less essential and much more indirect. The art have could settle himself in "reserve". The Conceptual Contemporary Art, this art reserved for the "enlightened", is an excellent revealer of the values that animate the ideological and political elites of our time and in particular of one of the essential characteristics of contemporary political ideology: the claim of these elites to the possession of "higher lights", of higher knowledge, which can only be acquired through the mechanism of Initiation and which legitimizes their power of government. A doctrine that inspires all discourse, hermetic and nebulous, that is inseparable from official contemporary art, and that has considerable political and sociological implications, that go well beyond the museums of contemporary art alone.

Museums of contemporary art are only, in the aesthetic field, the apparent tip of an iceberg that concerns the entire Western society and whose invisible presence they reveal.

 

The pathology we are about to discuss here, considered from a collective, social point of view, is that of the chosen, the initiated and the enlightened. History has always known the chosen by race, ethnicity, nation, and God's chosen ones, who have influenced world events for millennia. For about three centuries now, representatives of a very similar neurosis have appeared in Europe, but whose doctrines and ideological justifications are different, and even often opposed: the chosen of Reason.

 

The pathology of "elected peoples", "superiors" by their races, native lands, cultures, and/or religions is very old. She has been active in all cultures, it is not possible to be complete.

The Aryans in India, or Nazi Germany,

The Greeks opposing the Barbarians,

The Chinese consider themselves the only "Sons of Heaven", but also the Japanese or Koreans (Moon)

The Jews, "Chosen People", "People of the Covenant" with the only true God, "people priest", people of the only true End Time Messiah.....

Muslims, Faithful to Allah, the One, vindictive and merciful, the only true one, as opposed to God or the Gods of the Infidels, condemned to eternal hell,

The Aztecs, the chosen people of Huitzilopochtli, a solar deity, practising human sacrifice by the tens of thousands annually to the detriment of the surrounding peoples.

The Inca, son of the Sun, reigning over a totalitarian society, so popular that it collapsed at the mere sight of a few dozen Spaniards.

The Protestants, predestined for salvation by the Grace of God alone, without the works being necessary.

The list would be long to establish of all the "superior peoples" and "True Believers" in human history.

The Lazarist Catholic Fathers Huc and Gabet, missionaries crossing Tibet in 1844-1846, were very sincerely frightened of the mass of the damned whom they met on their journey. They did not seem to have understood the distant humour of some of the Buddhist sages they met, who recognized the great spiritual and moral interest of Catholic teaching. Without however converting, Or maybe they didn't want their true thinking to show through in their book, for fear of attracting the wrath of their own hierarchy.

It is certain that by the cross effect of the reciprocal damnations of the various religions, especially Christianity, Judaism and Islam, the Infernos del Ciel must have been saturated with people for two millennia.

The Hells on Earth have also multiplied, in the name of these many true antagonistic faiths, eager to convert all those who did not ask them anything. Muslims have imposed themselves from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean via the suburbs of Vienna. Catholic Spain has been illustrated in this regard in South and Central America. But Protestants were not more tolerant one or two centuries later in North America. Even the Bisons will not escape the conversion with rifle.

All these "chosen ones", these "enlightened ones", these "initiates" have existed, and still exist, in an infinity of religions which, with very rare exceptions, conceive of truth and salvation, for themselves (which is their right), but also unfortunately for others, only through doctrines always based on the divine election, of a particular people or of believers without ethnic distinction but the sole holders of the Truth.

Ecumenism is publicly displayed, but mental reservations are alive and well. Doctrines are one thing, practices and behaviours can be different. But the doctrines of the monotheistic religions, derived from Semitic thought (Judaism, Christianity, Islamism), are all very marked by the same handicap: the simplistic belief in the existence on earth, within reach of human thought, of one Truth, and only one . This is not the case with the religious and philosophical doctrines of the Far East, such as the Hinduisms, Buddhisms, Taoisms, Confucianism and Shintoism, which distinguish all the truths to which the human mind can have access, multiple and even apparently contradictory, and the Metaphysical Truth, of which man cannot be aware during his lifetime. Far eastern religious thought is, as a result of this fundamental analysis, in theory much more tolerant than Western religious thought. For centuries, Hindu philosophical and religious thought in particular has been based on the principle that all the great religions of the world, despite their different and sometimes opposing discourses, are bearers of saving truths.

These pathologies of the belief in a unique truth and in a particular excellence of which a group of humans would be the sole holder because of a membership, ethnic or cultural, a filiation or a divine election, a faith or of an initiation, have long been based essentially on the race or the land of birth and on religion, these sources being able to be combined.

It is important to observe that these neuroses of superiority are not harmful in themselves but by the action of men, what men do with them. Religious beliefs, even exclusive ones, have not only had bad consequences in terms of civilization and art, contrary to the doctrine spread by their contemporary atheist opponents. History and in particular art history demonstrate this. The alchemy of pathology and normality is complex in human beings. Well-controlled and compensated neuroses can be stimulating and creative of memorable actions, of admirable and lasting civilizations. Without too much collateral damage. But other pathologies have been little creative or totally destructive, especially for those who were not chosen, elected, enlightened, initiated, those outside.

The pathology of election by belonging to a nation, a land and a culture of origin, for example, has wreaked havoc in Europe when it has lost its sense of proportion. When the neurosis became obsessive. When fidelity to a past and a culture has become an aggression against the past and the culture of others. This ultra-nationalism was the consequence of and reaction to the absurd conquests of the French Revolution and the First Empire. The whole 19th and first half of the 20th century was a period of dramatic clashes of multiple ultra-nationalist neuroses that were exported to Japan.

This ultra-nationalism was in no way born of the spontaneous passions of peoples, it was totally created and fuelled by the ideological and political elites of the time because it served their interests. Peoples always slaughter each other by order from above. And it is certainly not the simplistic dream of the "enlightened" of a Universal Republic, the new ideological mega-neurosis of globalism, that will be an obstacle to the massacres of peoples.

Since 1945 it is indeed the opposite neurosis that the elites have been imposing: nationalism, the simple feeling of national belonging, is described as a racist abomination, and it is the contempt for the nation, the land and the culture of birth, which is the mandatory correct thought under penalty of criminal conviction. What has happened so that in half a century the hypertrophied adoration of the nation becomes its utterest execration? The same speech that was worth the Legion of Honour in 1900 is worth prison in 2000. It is because a new ideology, which appeared in Europe in the 18th century, was imposed on peoples by the political-economical elites.

 

 

2) A new pathology: the enlightened

 

The important novelty with major political consequences is that all the superiority complexes, which were exclusively ethnocultural and/or religious in inspiration for millennia, were able, from the end of the 18th century, the famous "Enlightenment", to base oneself on totally secular, profane, rationalist ideologies, even claiming to be scientific.

This is the great recent progress of human civilization. The chosen one of Reason was born, and gradually imposed himself against the chosen one of God or certain Gods and against the feeling of belonging to a culture or a territory. There is often opposition between God's chosen ones, always very active in certain regions, and the chosen ones of Reason, but there is also very often an alliance. It depends on which God and which chosen people it is. And what a chosen people is hidden behind the chosens of reason. The vocabulary has evolved accordingly: the "enlightened" "the Illuminated", were both ben added and opposed to the "chosen of God" to the "believers", the "faithful", the "sons of Heaven"...

The "enlightened" are the spiritual sons of Jean Jacques Rousseau, a profound neurotic but highly gifted to found a system. These "enlightened" will have considerable political success: they are certainly the minority, but they are the exclusive legitimate interpreters of the General Will, the only true because the only one founded in Reason. This General Will, in reality particular, property of a handful of self-proclaimed enlightened people, is superior to the will of the majority of peoples supposedly lost by passions. The enlightened are inhabited by Reason while the peoples are only inhabited by passions.

This doctrine of "General Will", the expression of a minority enlightened by Reason, founded the new democratic, republican aristocracy, the modern, rationalist and materialistic aristocracy. Jean Jacques Rousseau is the Founder Father of the new conception of the political and ideological elite still in force throughout the West and Eurasia and which has even spread to the Far East, China and Korea.

The "avant-garde enlightened" by the lights of the dialectical and scientific materialism of Marx, Engels, Lenin, are indeed a direct avatar, adapted to the scientism of the 19th century, of the Rousseauist ideology. A century after Rousseau, it was necessary to be less literary, less "philosophical" and more "scientific". Hence Marxism Leninism, Maoism.....

These "enlightened" represent a double betrayal: betrayal of true philosophy, that of Socrates or Confucius, and betrayal of true science, just as modest, when it can express itself freely apart from the pressures of ideological drifts and political and economic ambitions.

The pathology of the "initiated" by their belonging to an esoteric doctrine and a network of elected officials is therefore not endangered, because religions have, in certain regions of the earth, less power over men than in the past. The chosen ones of God or of the Gods are no longer alone: they are neighboring, collaborating with, or facing, a new and growing category of chosen ones, those of Reason and Science. A reason and a science misguided, of course, but spirituality and religion too have been misguided.

The "superior men" thus continue to proliferate, who sometimes self-proclaim themselves with sincerity and good faith, almost innocently, as authorized and only able to teach and govern the mass of the uneducated, unelected, non- messianic, not predestined, unenlightened, unrelated, uninitiated, uneducated, in short all the poor inferior men misguided in their irrationality. Hell is paved with good intentions, in times of triumphant Reason as in the times of God or of the Gods or of the Fatherland.

Contemporary political elites consider themselves to be far above the people. They do not proclaim it too loudly, publicly, but they think it very loudly within their reserved cenacles.

This is not a new idea in the history of humanity. "Aristocracy" is defined etymologically from the Greek aristos, better, excellent, and kratos, power.

The novelty is not therefore in this belief in the political superiority of a few, but in the conceptions of the basis of the legitimacy of the power that these elites hold and exercise over peoples.

It is no longer the force of weapons, nor birth. Because these elites claim to be civilian, peaceful authorities, exercising effective control over the military and democrats, popularists.

This is no longer the divine election, because contemporary government elites are politically atheistic and proclaim themselves secular. Even in countries where religion has retained a certain social influence, such as the United States.

Likewise, wealth has been partly delegitimized. Money is in fact an ever more active actor of power over men, but the wealth is no longer so ostensible, it claims less, and is hidden more. You have to be rich to be powerful, but you shouldn't look so much anymore, unlike the old aristocracies. It is a wealth of merchants and bankers who are well established at the top of society, but who prefer relative discretion. It is no longer a wealth of aristocrats and nobles who display and proclaim their difference. But on this point, since the collapse of communist societies, developments are underway towards greater legitimacy of money.

 

3) Political and social consequences of the new pathology: The Initiation.

 

The public, official discourse bases the political legitimacy of the rulers on the election by the governed. This is the correct public doctrine. Political legitimacy through popular designation, a people more or less widely understood, is also not a novelty in human history. Neolithic societies, classical Greece, have experienced this type of legitimation of power. The people have always been most often a trompe l'oeil, an alibi, nothing new from this point of view either.

But in the 18th century, a political doctrine emerged in Europe that developed the idea of the coexistence of two totally contradictory political legitimacies: the peoples and the enlightened ones. The trick was to pretend to reconcile them. With a little intuition it is possible to guess for whose benefit.

18th century Europe proclaimed itself "the Enlightenment". The "lights" for Europe of course, but also for the whole world, because the West tends to claim to think for all other civilizations.

This appellation of "Age of Enlightenment" is charged with significance, like that of "Middle Ages" or "Renaissance". It expresses a vision of history that is infinitely more ideological propaganda than historical reality. Since the "Enlightenment" the legitimacy of political elites throughout the West has in fact been based on a new, fundamental, essential doctrinal affirmation, which remains discreetly in the background compared to the publicly reaffirmed principle of legitimacy through popular election. The political and ideological elites are legitimate because they are enlightened, enlightened, educated, initiated into the mysteries of the lights of a higher Reason. "Enlightenment" whose peoples are, by nature, in the most total ignorance, but which they can possibly acquire through appropriate education, an initiation. Education is for everyone, but Initiation is the obligatory passage for the entry into the world of ideological and political elites.

Initiation to a Higher Intelligence has become, in a little over two centuries, the cornerstone of the organization of the entire social and political system of the West. It is no longer only the business of a few groups, claiming marginal influence, but it is the whole of Western society that is politically governed, entirely, on the basis of Initiation. The peoples have seen nothing, and continue to see nothing. They still believe they are in an elective and pluralistic democracy. They have an excuse: everything has been done to hide this evolution from them.

It is essential to understand which Initiation is involved here. It is a worldly initiation, whose exclusive goal is success in society. It is an initiation with a view to global action on all men, a materialistic, prosaic, direct and exclusively social and political initiation.

It is not in any way a spiritual, intellectual or moral initiation whose necessary, unavoidable and primary purpose is the personal learning of discipline about oneself, the acquisition of individual wisdom through the mastery of one's desires, and a distance from the vanities of daily life. With, secondarily only, possible, indirect political and social effects, through the exemplarity of the individual behaviour or of a small group of wise men and disciples.

It is by no means initiation as it has been understood for millennia in all the great religions and philosophies. The initiation of Brahmanist, yogic, sannyāsin, Confucianist, Buddhist, or Socratic, Stoic, Epicurean (not confuse epicureanism and hedonism), scholastic, Augustinian, Benedictine, Aquinian, Dominican, Franciscan, etc. This is not here either the initiation, as it is understood on Mount Athos.

Certainly the Gnostic, Kabbalistic, magical, satanic drifts, whose purpose is not self-discipline and exemplary behaviour, but the acquisition of power over others, a public or occult power, have always existed. These abuses were very particular, individual, or the result of small groups whose influences remained marginal, without significant consequences at the level of societies, on the government of all men.

It is this Initiation, materialistic and non-spiritual, political and non-personal, initiation for action in the world and not for meditation on the world, initiation greedy for power over other men and not seeking wisdom through self-control, which has become, behind the mask of elective and liberal democracy, the system of government, unofficial, secret, but real and effective, of the whole West.

The government of the Shade was born thanks to the "Enlightenment". This was to be expected.

 

As a direct result of this evolution in conceptions of political legitimacy, in about 250 years, Europe and the West have gone from a transparent, public, obvious, nation-specific system of government to an opaque, secret, clandestine, unique system of government for the whole West. To take the example of France, and without going back to the medieval period, to the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries, to the times of Francis I, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, all the French knew their governors. Not only at the local and regional level (the lord, baron, count, bishop or abbot), but also at the level of the entire kingdom. When the King allowed a minister to govern, as in the case of Louis XIII and Richelieu, all the people were informed. The same was true in all European nations, in the England of Elizabeth I, or in the German empire of Charles V or Ferdinand I, or in the Russia of Peter the Great and Catherine II. The exercise of political power was, everywhere in Europe, nominal, exoteric, ostensible, public. The peoples knew who ruled them. And the rulers knew that the peoples knew how to name those who ruled them. It was a political system based on personal and public responsibility. Even if the accountability could be pushed back into the distance. A distant, very distant one, often in the afterlife. But in this era of active and shared beliefs from the bottom up in the social hierarchy, this very distant beyond could be constraining down here.

 

At the beginning of the 21st century, the political system of the entire West has gradually come to be at the opposite end of this model: it is increasingly unified by a totalitarian, profane and no longer religious ideology, that of the Enlightenment and its latest avatar: Globalism. The system is totally secular, profan, atheistic and materialistic. But he also changed totally in his mode of exercise. Real political power has become secret, hidden, clandestine, cabalistic.

It is Plato's "Republic" that has thus been implemented, but a republic in which the Wise Men, at the top of the pyramid, are totally unknown to the general public. Only their creatures, their servants, the Guardians of the Compliant Order, appear officially, on the front of the stage. The official rulers, appointed after totally controlled elections, are all very brilliant puppets of an opaque, underground, secret system of influence, totally ignored or unknown by the populations.

These Influences act through sectarian organizations, with the most diverse names, hidden from the general public, totally opaque to the outside world, but all linked to each other at the top of the pyramid. In France the last leader who was not under the control of these illuminated Influences was General de Gaulle. The "1968 Revolution", an agitprop masterpiece organized by the enlightened, had no other purpose than to drive him out of power. The 1968 revolution, like its predecessors of 1789 or 1917 and many others, was nothing more than a coup d'état organized by masked elites, using peoples to establish their domination.

It is to these connected esoteric organizations that the apparent, official leaders are accountable, not to the peoples. And it is this underground organization, this Power of the Shadow, which, under the mask of institutions of democratic appearance, more or less elected, directs Western society. Exactly as it imposes Contemporary Art, without ever being accountable to the governed.

These sectarian organizations are structured on the model of progressive materialistic Initiation. This model operates exclusively by co-option and imposes rites of access and passage from the first grades to the higher grades. A whole hierarchy and a whole solemn, falsely symbolic and mysterious ritualism are instituted, with a single purpose: to give an impression of spirituality charged with a high conceptual and moral significance. But in reality effectively sorting the increasingly senior executives in the group hierarchy, and ensuring the total power of the "insiders" of the top (the Wise Men of the Plato Republic) over the "insiders" of the middle (the Guardians of the Plato Republic). And through these agents of control, transmission and execution of instructions, throughout society, on all those who are not part of these networks: the peoples.

 

Secrecy is a determining means of action in the politics of these networks of influence.

Secrecy commands the prohibition to reveal outside the group the belonging to the sect and its organization. This is the main oath, the first, founder, when entering the organization.

The secret imposes of course to deny the very existence of the secret vis-à-vis the outsiders. The secret publicly confessed is no longer a secret. The secret is never acknowledged, it is always denied.

But the secret is also the basic principle of the internal organization of these networks: The secret works only in one sense, as in the mafias, or in the "secret services" of the states: from the bottom to the top. But not from the top down. This secret is achieved by appropriate methods of compartmentalization, hence the lodges, circles, clubs, and other cells, reduced in number of participants who try out beyond a certain number of participants. From where also the diverse and multiple obediences, the related organizations, allied, separated at the base, but connected by their summits. This compartmentalization imposes the progressive signs of recognition which allow the certain identification, the proof of the belongings and the ranks, and ensure the transmission of the orders. This apparent dispersion and proliferation is one of the ways to keep the secret by blurring the tracks.

This sectarian system is based on an organization that has absolutely nothing to do with that of the armies and more generally of state administrations or private companies, in which the hierarchy, the chain of command, is apparent, publicly and clearly defined. In the organigram of organizations of this type, secrecy has replaced the transparency that is the rule in daily action.

This is the argument of the Initiation to "Higher Lights" that justifies this secret organization, partitioned, opaque not only with respect to foreigners to the sect, but even within the network, between its frames and its subordinate members. The Eye at the top of the pyramid sees everything. The middle and bottom floors see nothing, or only false pretense, appearances

At the end of the road to this materialistic, worldly, political Initiation, there is no true light, no discipline on oneself, no wisdom, no spirituality, no superior morality, but only the materiality of power over others, and that of money. This power is exerted first on the members of the network themselves, who are only instruments of the supreme power, the tentacles of the octopus, and through them extends its effects on the whole society.

This system of organizing total political power over humanity is very sophisticatedly hidden and organized very effectively:

1) This system is disguised as to the doctrinal principles behind generous philosophical proclamations such as "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity", the well-known Masonic motto, which is also that of the French Republic. The Progress of Humanity as a whole, because the project is globalist, towards more light is of course the ultimate goal.

The true, materialistic, worldly and political goals of social success and control are hidden behind the systematically contrary discourse, the proclamation of a highly spiritual ambition, the alibi for philosophical, moral, social research, and a "selfless philanthropic and cultural action. This is the application of the well-known principle: the bigger the lie, the more often it is repeated, and the more it will appear to be true. This lie is effective both outside the group and inside, at least in the lower ranks and especially in all blue masonry. Man loves to deceive himself almost as much as he loves to deceive others.

2) To maintain secrecy, and to fit within the framework of the democratic appearance that is part of the official discourse, this system hides behind an exoteric, public apparatus. A legal facade, an associative institutional framework, a head office, dressed in a whole ceremonial apparatus intended to "communicate" publicly and to seduce and impress the members themselves, and the crowd remained outside. This institutional framework is used to recruit new members, train future executives, and hide the real underground organization. The iceberg has an apparent summit, but its depths are invisible to the common people, and also to the vast majority of its members.

3) This system of Shadow government in the name of Enlightenment has created and organized a basic motivation, universally effective, acting from the bottom to the top of its pyramid of ranks.

At the very bottom, from the very first ranks, and all along the hierarchy, the single engine, real despite public discourse, has nothing to do with the acquisition of wisdom, spirituality, an effort on oneself. It is not a yoga, certainly not an asceticism even less a distance from the realities of the world. On the contrary, it is a dive into the world. Motivation is eminently prosaic: it is ambition and social success. Social success by belonging to a small closed environment of effective relationships, the possession of an essential address book to promote private action, family, professional, and public action, political. The career and advancement, the power that is at the end, are with money the main engines of life in society. And these engines have been very smartly used and distributed from the bottom up the network pyramid. Belonging immediately provides material benefits, advancement in the rank hierarchy provides others, for which reason, it is necessary to know how to obey, without trying to unlock the secrets of unkwowns at higher ranks.

At the top is wealth and power over all men, in the most absolute concealment and, except the settling of scores, which can be deadly, "Death to traitors", the most total political impunity. Total irresponsibility, before God of course, because these ideological and political elites no longer believe in it, but also before the governed, because these real rulers are totally hidden from them.

The liberal capitalist West has learned the lessons from its confrontation with its communist rival. This rivalry was a family affair, a confrontation between "enlightened" people of different tendencies. To sum it up simply: The Bankers' Society versus the Apparatchiks' Society. The West of the Bankers triumphed, first and foremost on the economic field, because it did not ignore the engine of profit. But the triumph of the capitalist West is also due to the fact that it has gradually developed a very effective political system, also based on the Single Party of the enlightened, but a secret single party, not apparent, elusive, against which no revolt can succeed since it is a power that does not exist. Associations, lodges, circles, cells, brotherhoods, clubs, cenacles, unofficial and discreet committees, hidden in the fabric of society, connected in a discreet, effective but not very visible way, like the spider's web, are much more effective than the single public party, institutionalized, displayed, of the communist world. The political model of the official single party continues to work in China.

 

4) Back to art. The Contemporary Conceptual Art or the Art of the Top Eye

 

Contrary to appearances, we have not moved away from the Official Contemporary Art as it is exhibited in the Temples of Conceptual Art: the Museums of Official Contemporary Art.

Contemporary Conceptual Art (ConCon Art in short) is explained like all previous arts by the ideologies, good or bad, more or less good and bad, both good and bad, neuroses, more or less well controlled or not controlled at all that structure the minds of elites, and that they impose on their obedient or constrained sheeps.

Official contemporary art can therefore help to understand current political and ideological developments. The Contemporary Conceptual Art, ugly, absurd, provocative, botched, is a hermetic art, reserved for an elite of initiates to so-called higher lights. It's the Art of the Top Eye. Contemporary Art, devoid of any cultural roots, bears witness to a desire to erase the differences and murder the nations on the grounds of promoting a hypothetical universal man, the globalist homo. Subject and not citizen of a Universal Republic, the new ideological mirage at the fashion. The new mega-neurosis of the "enlightened".

The Conceptual Art, the Art of the Top Eye, is the echo of this collective pathology of election, common to many ethnic groups, cultures and human groups for millennia. A pathology that has adapted to the rationalism and materialism of our times, and which, in the last fifty years of the 20th century, has succeeded in structuring an entire effective political system that extends throughout the West and that intends to perpetuate its power, and develop its action on a global scale.

The Contemporary Conceptual Art ("ConCon Art"), the Art of the Top Eye is the application in the aesthetic field of the doctrines of the "Enlightenment", it is the expression of the neurosis of the election by the Reason, the result of the materialist Initiation. It is the policy of the "Enlightenment" in art which, after three centuries of implementation, can flourish without complex, without control, with impunity, richly, alongside the beautiful, significant and shared art of previous millennia.

 

A period in the history of European art has escaped this direct determinism of the neuroses and pathologies of election: the period of modern art, from 1850 to 1950 in approximate dates. For this reason alone that the diversity of ideologies, the competition between them has left during a century, the field open to artistic creation of popular origin not directly conditioned by the elites. The ideological and political elites were in conflict. The eye at the very top of the Pyramid was still only a project in progress, but it was not yet omnipotent. European artists were thus able to express themselves freely through multiple ancient and modern aesthetics.

The peoples were summoned by their elites to a first hyper massacre that claimed the lives of some artists. The ideological confrontation continued between the two wars. Another moment of possible freedom for artists, but only in a smaller part of Europe. Indeed, since 1917 in Russia, then since 1930 in Germany totalitarian regimes have imposed themselves which have exterminated men and the arts. It was at this time that the Official Contemporary Art, the Conceptual Art, the Art of the Top Eye, was set up in New York. The Top Eye that appears on every dollar bill.

New convocation of the peoples for a second great massacre. This period of appalling clashes between ideologies ended with the triumph of the Enlightenment in 1945.

It is this triumph of the Highest Eye that is expresses itself in Contemporary Conceptual Art.

 

Art is indeed a very reliable revealer of ideological and political predominances throughout human history. Long-term or temporary dominances. Aton didn't last long against Amon. Hellenism has totally disappeared in the Middle East under the blows of Islamic swords, but only after a millennium of domination. Mithra had to quickly give way to Christ etc.

In our time, there are still traces of the diversified freedom that Europe of Art experienced between 1850 and 1950. But it is necessary to look elsewhere than in the Art of the Top Eye for spontaneous and sincere artistic expression: photography, street art, private, local and regional commercial painting. Conceptual Art, the massacre of beauty and meaning, the refusal to share a common aesthetic between elites and peoples, could be the harbinger of a new great massacre of the Innocents by decision of their political and ideological elites.
