How Can Art Affect Public Perceptions, Opinions and Philosophy?

…Subtle works of art are often more successful because the message they are promoting goes unnoticed on a conscious level. In this way, ideas are perceived as truth without questioning motives, availability of facts, or opposing points of view. The success of this type of propaganda is increased by repetition which serves to reinforce the formation of the desired opinion. …

Runaway Slave Documentary

Movie Review: Runaway Slave

This powerful documentary by Rev. C.L. Bryant is crucial viewing for those who truly want to change the plight of black Americans and bring an end to the racial divide in our country. Runaway Slave throws into stark contrast the opposing views of entitlement foisted on the black community by LBJ’s Great Society against the [...]

Black Liberty Symbol

What is Liberatchik?

This article was written for Big Dawg Music Mafia as prep for my radio interview on Friday, January 11 at 9:30pm EST. After realizing that it’s nearly impossible to show conservative political art in galleries, I set about to market myself independently. It would be unfair to say no one has been willing to show [...]

Why is Shepard Fairey’s Work Good?

I know this is going to be a hard article for many conservatives to read. It is understandable that an artist who is essentially the poster-child for progressive hypocrisy would be the last person whose work they would consider good. Nor would they expect a conservative art page to say as much. As in so [...]

Who is Shepard Fairey?

This article is the first in a series exploring propaganda in general, and the work of Shepard Fairey in particular. I am going to jump right in under the assumption that most here are at least familiar with his Hope painting above, if not with his larger body of work. Because I have some clear [...]

I am sure there are exceptions across the country to this sarcastic allegation. I also recognize the right of a University’s higher ups to make decisions based on predetermined criteria, educational guidelines or their own [...]

Artists Don’t Seem to Care About Freedom of Speech

Several weeks ago, I was sent an email by a friend Jimmy in California concerning the disappearance of Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. There is very little information from China on the artist’s dissappearance or the reason why he is apparently being held by the Chinese government. In the weeks since Ai was spirited away, several [...]

Saul Alinsky Explains Community Organizing as an Outside Agitator

I am currently reading Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, so this video struck me as a good way to introduce the uninformed of his ideology. I’ll write a review of the book when I am finished. I also have plans to use it in an altered book project that will transform the book into a [...]

Promoting America Before She is Gone

Please check out this video that was posted on our FaceBook page. I don’t know the speaker or the source, but I know I have seen it before. Names don’t stay in my head, but the importance of the message did. My thoughts are below. This is one of our main goals here at Liberatchik. [...]

In Case You Have no Idea

The latest from MoveOn.org Frances – Two years ago, I met 10 of you. Just before I accepted our party’s nomination in front of 80,000 people in Denver, I spoke with 10 grassroots supporters who had won a trip to meet me backstage. I still remember the time we spent together — because these are [...]
