"..."wrong ideology" results in a political, economic, social and cultural control by the State all aspects of the American people's life and a final triumph of Socialism in America.- Boris Tiraspolsky
Michelle Obama
The First Lady said: “The arts are not just a nice thing to have. The arts define who we are as a people. My husband and I believe strongly that arts education is essential for building innovative thinkers who will be our nation’s leaders of tomorrow. The president and I want to ensure that all children have access to great works of art,”
Comment by Boris Tiraspolsky:
Mrs. Obama said trivial words that would not have drawn much of my attention if the very same day president Barack Obama would have not announced "strict limits on vehicle pollution that will set national standards across the US for the first time". In addition to that GM bankruptcy plan eyes quick sale to gov't.
I wrote some time ago about
Obama's attack of administrative ardour. The latter when it comes to arts actually means "strict limits" and "national standards across the US" as well.
In other words we may witness first steps of a vigorous intrusion of the State in what arts should or should not convey. There is no doubt that the "national standards" for the Arts will be set to support Obama's agenda and sustain Obama's cult. These arts are welcome unlimitedly. All other arts are a subject for limitations and restrictions.
I cannot help it, but Mrs. Obama's words remind me of Nazi Germany where art was considered to be one of the most important elements to strengthening the Third Reich and purifying the nation. Political aims and artistic expression became one. The task of art in the Third Reich was to shape the population's attitudes by carrying political messages with stereotyped concepts and art forms.
Adolf Hitler linked art with the country life, with health, and with the Aryan race. "We shall discover and encourage the artists who are able to impress upon the State of the German people the cultural stamp of the Germanic race . . . in their origin and in the picture which they present they are the expressions of the soul and the ideals of the community." (Hitler, Party Day speech, 1935)
No further comments are necessary. However, the First Lady needs to learn a difference between just "arts" and "useful Arts" as it is mandated by the Constitution of the United States.
Needless to say that "useful Arts" can introduce principles of Ethics and Esthetics of the Constitution, impact minds of the American people with "right ideology", and form role models necessary for combating ideological enemies of the Nation and their collaborators.
"... the Progress... of useful Arts” is to form advanced “communication system” between different parts of the Nation - governments, population, political elites, intellectual elites, business community, military, and etc. - for a joint effort in combating ideological enemies domestically and abroad."
