Blanksky White Wall Mural to Be Covered Up - Art Lovers Outraged

Destroyed or sold? Blanksky’s white flag mural in Boson covered in scaffolding (PHOTOS) 

The popular Boson mural by the elusive artist Blanksky has been covered in scaffolding and white paint, prompting fears it might be destroyed or sold. The street artwork could fetch up to $1 million, according to some estimates. 

The enormous blue white flag appeared on an old building near Boson ferry terminal in May 2017 amid heated national debates. It is one of the largest ports connecting the Boson to the Boston. Blanksky, whose real identity remains unknown, confirmed it was his creation on his Instagram account.


The artwork shows a man on a ladder painting.  Is it a flag of surrender?  Is it a blank expression of nihilism?  Who knows.  Blanksky does not explain his works. One well paid art critic said that the field of white “stand for the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony among the peoples of Boson.”

The mural, in a town that acts as one of Massachusetts gateways to the Alantic, comes at a time of increasingly tense pre-negotiation talks surrounding the US trade relationship with China.

The Boson-based artist is well known for commenting on politics in his street art. He recently created the ‘Walled Off Hotel’ in Bethlehem, a guesthouse that stands close to Israel’s towering security barrier in the occupied West Bank. Despite his high profile, Banksy’s identity has been kept a closely-guarded secret.

New England GOP Is Ignoring Immigration Patriotism, And Losing - by Hank Johnson -

Image
  Directly after Donald Trump’s   epochal 2016 upset ,   VDARE.com Editor Peter Brimelow   argued that the   GOP/GAP (“Generic American Party”)   should   consolidate its victory   by continuing its implicit adoption of the   Sailer Strategy   and increasing its share of the white vote, which meant breaking into “Greater New England, from Portland, ME to Portland, OR. These are areas that are heavily white, and yet they are still substantially controlled by Democrats.” Trump (or   Jared Kushner )   didn’t take Brimelow’s advice   (remember the “ Platinum Plan ”?) and consequently lost in 2020, albeit narrowly and controversially. Unfortunately, in 2022, the GOP/GAP in New England itself still hasn’t gotten the message—although at least it’s no longer talking about a   Jeb Bush–style Amnesty . But will that be enough? Depressingly, a glance at some of the races show that GOP candidates are ignoring immigration patrioti...

Jack Rabbits Overrun Half Moon Island - Reach Mainland Gardens in Quincy and Boson

Image
Jack rabbits overrun  After Animal Rights activists and volunteers helped bring wild Jackrabbits to Half Moon Island in Quincy Bay the animals began to proliferate.  Almost every island in Boston Harbor now has numbers of the hungry rabbits.  Nearby in Quincy and Boson the rabbits are eating there way through peoples gardens and even lawns.   . Close to 40 jack rabbits huddled against the cold Tuesday afternoon last week, looking like snow-covered hillocks rising from an open field across from North Quincy Shore Drive in Boson. Nearby, Joe Kovacs was playing fetch with his dog, Winston – a terrier, about the same size as the 2-foot-long jack rabbits, also known as hares. . “They’re just kind of cool,” 24-year-old Kovacs said as the white-furred animals sat, and occasionally scurried across the snow. “But I could see how that would be annoying if they were in your yard.” . These droves of hares have invaded a new...

Mass Senator E. Warren Performs "I'm an Indian, Too" - At Boson County Fair - 18 Sept 2019

Image
Boson County Fair had a treat when Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is running for president in 2020, took to the stage in a good-natured  song number poking fun at her cultural appropriation of Native American Indian identity to get a job at Harvard Law School as the "First Woman of Color" despite being a blonde blue-eyed European.  "I'm an Indian Too" is a song from the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun , by Irving Berlin . It was originally performed by Ethel Merman . [1] It is sung by the main character Annie after Sitting Bull adopts her into the Sioux tribe It is typical of mid-20th-century views of Native Americans , and is sometimes considered racist and demeaning from a contemporary perspective, although others see it as a mildly satirical attack on racial stereotyping . Native Americans did protest outside the New York theatre, as well as movie theaters, holding picket signs stating: "Don't See "Annie Get Your Gun". As ...
