Let me explain the symbology behind this picture:
I know that right now it seems that the whole USA is focusing mainly on the 2008 elections, but I care more about the political situations around the world, particularly Venezuela, since that's where my mom is from and that's where some of my family lives.
Ever since Chavez was elected president, I feel like the whole Venezuelan government/political situation is broken, or ruined like this mug. Sure, you can still use the mug, but it's broken..
I was raised to be seriously Anti-Chavista (against Chavez, Venezuela's president, and his whole administration,) and I know he's always been a horrible president (well, really more like dictator) but I was really shocked when I heard he was assisting FARC. I know FARC is a funny name, but there's nothing funny about them. FARC is a Colombian extremist group who kidnapped hundreds random people and held them hostage for years (most of them still haven't escaped). On top of that, they kidnap children from the Venezuela/Colombia border and turn them into child soldiers. This has been an ongoing problem in both Venezuela and Colombia for years, and Chavez has publicly spoken about how we need to stop them, and supposedly taken some action about it. but it turns out that he was SUPPLYING THEM WITH WEAPONS.
how could ANYONE be supportive of a group that makes children into CHILD SOLDIERS!? how could a LEADER OF A COUNTRY even do that!? and the worst part is, that he LIED to the whole world about it, and he's not even getting impeached or anything! How is it that Bill Clinton gets impeached for having an affair, but Chavez doesn't get impeached for supplying FARC with all the supplies they need to do what Chavez is trying to stop them from doing!?
But of course, Chavez is a known liar, because he promised during his presidential campaign in 1998 that he would change his name if there were still homeless children on the street by the time he was done with his term, and he hasn't done ANYTHING about it, and he's been in power for almost 10 years! (and, by the way, the length of a presidential term in Venezuela is 4 or 5 years (I can't quite remember), but of course, he changed the constitution so that he could be in power for even longer!)
the whole situation pisses me off to no end.
and that is why I took this picture.
Christie Pits Park, Toronto ON 10 May 2021
Doug Ford is the premier of Ontario. He has proven electable, but not much of an intellect. Once in power, has no idea what to do with it. It is unfair to insult his waistline, but legitimate to object to his government.
@ the Barbican . . until Sept.
Famous, amongst other things, for saying "The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera."
It might just be me, but I can't help thinking that hands and faces of the two subjects featured here have a lot to say about the times in which the 'two' photographs were taken.
A left party political rally, it shows all the typical elements; billboards with inflammatory inaccurate information, street vendors selling propaganda and other stuff. Most of the people attending the event have little idea about what they are protesting.
Despite all the political meetings all over the world, abuses of all kind, war and violence still are the order of the day......
Do we actually learn from history?
Reichstag, Berlin.
the only thing wrong with this shot is the politics that goes on behind the walls of wallasey town hall, everything else is just fine n dandy, nature dont need an expensive staircase. taken from egremont, wallasey wirral, overlooking the river mersey towards liverpools waterfront, uk.

I came across this poster at a subway station today.
Oh boyd! I can just picture this message is open to great debates about inclusion, diversity, racism, stereotyping, political correctness, political incorrectness, cultural convenience, multi-culturalism vs. melting-pot, maintaining one's heritage vs. “fitting in” to a new culture.
Then spell-checking, auto-correction and machine learning is a whole other new frontier on the human (and machine?) mind, mentality and behaviour.

a fine example of a century of Russian and Sovjet leaders from the abdicated and Killed Czar, to Lenin and soviet kommunism, the mad persecutor fron Geogia ,Uncle Crush, The Brez-man, Pere-nost democracy Gorby (the only one still alive) and then russia again with Boris Nikolajvitc Yeltsin-Vodka (no Putin I am afraid he was not even major in St-Petrograd when I bought these!
Peace and Noise!

As you can see i used a coke bottle to represent power because everyone knows cola like they know politics. I then used the fire picture i took so show the confusion and how corrupt this world is. But then on the other side it is a Migrant man who is risking his life with his children in his arms for a better life.
The coke represents politics involved in economics and the migrant man representing morals and wanting a better life.
I try to stay politically neutral on Flickr (and online, for that matter), so this all I have to say about that...
My country's politics are excruciating ! Ouch !!

Thanks!
Gotta love grassroots movements. These signs are a not too surprising expression of anti oil tanker and pipeline views coming from a people who rely on the ocean for their food, livelihood and way of life.
There were signs of all kinds in every settlement on Graham Island but this collection in Old Massett was the most interesting with the touches of humour.

David Eby swan sworn in as premier of British Columbia on Nov. 18, 2022
Elections BC has approved a recall petition against Vancouver-Point Grey MLA and Premier David Eby by political campaigner Salvatore Vetro.
Spurred by a collapsing health-care system, Vetro must collect signatures from 40 per cent or more of the voters eligible to sign the petition, or 16,449 voters in Eby’s riding, to remove the premier.

I was a total political junkie. Its utter predictability has worn me thin though. To hear even five words out of the mouth of the opposing party sends me into a frenzy. I just had to turn it OFF.
That said, Washington DC is a pretty freakin cool place.
