In a Corbett Report first, Norway-based artist Chris Reddy of reddymade.com conducts a “portrait interview” of James Corbett. But this is no ordinary portrait: Reddy focuses on the inner mental landscape of the subject to create a “bigger image” of the person. Enjoy. More from James Corbett on a new edition of The Corbett Report.
A giant metal monolith, ala 2001: A Space Odyssey, was discovered in the southeastern corner of the Utah desert in the middle of nowhere. The mysterious, shiny, metallic slab was spotted by a Utah Department of Public Safety (DPS) crew on a wildlife assistance mission to help count bighorn sheep in the area.
Once photos of the monolith were posted online, it didn’t take long for theories to spread across social media. They ranged from an alien sighting to work from a local artist. The DPS said it is illegal to install structures or art on federally managed public lands without authorization, no matter what planet you’re from. DPS says it will not reveal the location of the structure. Here’s more from CF-apps7865.

ARVE Error: need id and providerWant to see a truly sick and vile art collection? Take a look at the paintings and other artworks collected by Mark Parker, the CEO of Nike. We have discussed his sadistic art tastes before, but the collection is even more disgusting when seen in its totality.
You have to wonder how a company like Disney would place Parker on its board of directors? This is a company that runs amusement theme parks tailor-made for children. When someone’s taste in art runs toward violence and depravity against children, as well as cannibalism and child sacrifice, you have to wonder why Disney views him as a legitimate candidate for its board. This not only seems bizarre, but frankly, its creepy as all hell. More from TestingTheNarrative.
