    The artist and the weavers

    Who wove the twenty enormous tapestries?
    On the websites/ exhibition it mentions the name of a male artist

    Has he done 8 million individual stitches on each of the 20 tapestries on eight-hour shifts?

    Who spun the wool?

    So many questions.
    So much to see.
    So much to ask.

  3. George W. #Bush himself spoke of a #crusade when he launched the Iraq War with a lie. It is truly alarming to see that humanity has not progressed since the Middle Ages and that religion is still used to justify wars. The propaganda may have improved today, but the lies are still so cheap and transparent that it hurts.

    The war lasted more than seven years, cost $3 trillion, and killed 3,482 U.S. service members and about 200,000 Iraqi civilians.

    Today, war even has the potential to trigger a world war. No one can predict what this #madness is capable of. #meme #politics #holywar #war #crusade #history #fail #ethics #problem #middleeast #usa #religion #government #pentagon #military #finance #money #society #law #worldorder #worldtrade #economy #militaryindustrialcomplex #conspiracy #crazy #mad #world #future #peace #diplomacy #superpower #freedom #democracy #humanrights #uno #border #fake #propaganda #humanity #civilization #worldwar #truth #bible #church #doomsday #apocalypse #maga #qanon

  4. #Hegseth claims to be a #Christian, yet pursues a '#Crusade' which his underlings claim is aimed to lead to #Armageddon. #Netanyahu claims to be a #Jew, yet pursues a #Holocaust against a closely related nation.

    Should we see Netanyahu's claim to Judaism to be as false, blasphemous and insincere as Hegseth's claim to Christianity?

  6. Just so we’re all clear how jihadist the US is being here, Donald Trump just signed off one of his megaphone Truth Social threats with the English language equivalent of Allāhu ʾAkbar (Arabic: اللّٰهُ أَكْبَر).

  7. #MadKingDonald is abandoning the American people because he needs golds to finance his #Crusade in the holy land.

    What's next, an inquisition, witch trials?

  8. "Juden, Cristen unde heiden
    jehent, daz diz ir erbe sî.
    ...
    Al diu welt, diu strîtet her"

    [Christians, Jews, and heathens
    all say that this is their patrimony.
    ...
    All the world is warring here]

  10. @usluck There *is* a lot of #history motivating the #war in #Iran. And that is why #WhiskeyPete #Hegseth and other #Warmongers in the #Trump #kakistocracy have referred to it as a ‘#crusade.’

    But others specifically call it the #FelonsCrusade because the *primary* motivation behind it is for two #WarCriminals (that are *already* felons) to stay out of prison!
