GIRL WITH A PEARLESCENT CAMERA
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
This picture is a modern spoof on the world famous painting by the 16th century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. The girl in the legendary painting (as well as in several other of his paintings) is his second daughter, Elizabeth! Vermeer never hired models — he painted only family and friends. It doesn’t take a cosmetic surgeon to compare the features of the women in the majority of his paintings to observe that the same women are being painted in their own home, again and again in different poses, settings, lighting and clothing. Most of his paintings feature his wife, Catharina, who was not only his constant accomplice in creating a family, she was his foremost ally in his life as an artist!
The painting named (by others), “Girl with a pearl earring”, as well as “The girl with a red hat”, and “The girl with a flute”, and others, are all of his second daughter, Elizabeth, who was a teenager when they were painted. He used her as the model for a series of very small “tronie” or facial portraits, which were popular at the time.
These miniature “head shots” were especially well suited to the use of the camera obscura to create what we know now to have a photographic quality, rendering the light and perspective differently than the unaided lens of the human eye perceives it.
To learn all of the details about the women who posed for Johannes Vermeer in all of his famous paintings, read the book VERMEER: PORTRAITS OF A LIFETIME, by Lawrence R. Spencer.

THE EVILUTION OF PAPER MONEY
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
American Colonies Revolutionary War Currency (1779). Worthless paper invented by Benjamin Franklin as a way to raise money for the Revolutionary War against England.
United States of America “real” money currency — exchangeable for real gold, real property and the promise of freedom and prosperity for everyone who worked hard and smart.
Confederate States of America money (payable if the South won the Civil War)
Federal Reserve Note printed by a Private Bank (not worth the paper and ink used to print it, but exchanged for all the gold and real property in the U.S. in 1913, thanks to J.P. Morgan and other big time criminal bankers and politicians who control the “Federal Reservation” and all the people living on it.)
New World Order Private Zionist Bankers — “We Own The Entire Planet” Phoney Money use to steal all of the real property in the world using corrupt politicians, media control, tricks, lies and military power to guarantee protection for the criminals while the people who produce the goods and services get poorer and poorer every day.
Bildergerg-Rockyfeller-Kissassinger World Bank Money (Good for paying taxes, but hyper-inflation means you will have to work your ass off for an entire lifetime with nothing to show for it.)
