About Me

No one ever reads these things, but greetings, anyway. My name is Paul. I am an Art major (Communications minor) and senior at Augusta State University (also a recent inductee into Phi Kappa Phi). A great portion of my artwork is displayed in my gallery for others' amusement. As you can probably see, I am somewhat of an introvert. I can't fucking stand television or most other forms of mindless commercial distraction. I enjoy intense, multi-layered works of art. I greatly enjoy new perspectives, particularly those on the darker side, like progressive politics and philosophy and experimental music and film. And sorry for the huge-ass page, but quite frankly I've seen many pages that are far more cluttered with images than my page, and I've always found them fun to look at. So enjoy.
Oh, and if you wish to see what i look like, then you'll be forced to sit through this humorous musical documentary of which I am the drummer and editor:
Beara: A Legend Is Born
This video for the wildly popular Beara song "If Hitler Was A Kitten" kicks some f**kin' ass! It's got power! It's got melody! It's got might! IT IS TRUE F**KIN' HEAVY METAL!Oh yeah, and it is also my final project for my After Effects class. I'm sure to fail miserably...
The Philosophy of Liberty
The following is a film that everyone needs to see and it is extremely unfortunate that few will:
Zeitgeist

My Interests


The Real Uncle Sam...

"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship . . . All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country."
-Hermann Goering (Hitler’s Reich-Marshall at the Nuremberg Trials after WWII)
"The hidden history of false-flag terrorism is key, followed by trained aversion to conspiracy. When bad things happen on a large scale, chances are that an important group of people wanted them to happen and made them happen. Governments throughout history have provoked or staged attacks on their own people to serve the powers behind the throne (“the money power”)..."
-Dr. Morgan Reynolds (former chief economist for George W. Bush)
"If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."
-James Madison
"Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war, but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac."
-George Orwell
"I always question the received reality. The consensus reality is often intentionally misleading."
-George Carlin
"A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny."
-Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"When the government fears the people, there is liberty; when the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
-Thomas Jefferson
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer."
-Henry Kissinger
"Lies, sanctions, and cruise missles have never created a free and just society. Only everyday people can do that."
-Zach de la Rocha

"I think it's probably a good thing if computers just take over music. 'Cause computers are a lot more messed up than people and the more messed up and farther away music gets from music the better--the healthier it's gonna be for music."
