I’ll admit I did not see this headline coming. From yesterday’s UK Telegraph:
I became further surprised while researching the story, because of how many crazy dots it connected.
The article wasn’t particularly clear about what Zelensky meant by “ambassador.” It’s likely just a made-up job. But clearly, Abramovic, 76, is about to go on Ukraine’s payroll, get some of that sweet, sweet U.S. aid money, and despite being completely unqualified will somehow be involved with the war-torn country’s kids.
This is deeply bad news for Ukrainian children, something like Grimm’s Fairy Tales coming to life.
Serbian “artist” Abramovic is a deeply controversial figure. She’s not a traditional artist. She’s described as a performance artist. She does art more than make art. Oh, and she does politics. She is also very close personal friends with both Clintons and their retinues. Abramovic constantly and unaccountably rubs elbows with heads of state and various royalty.
And she is perfectly monstrous to Christians and people with any remaining sense of goodness, decorum, or dignity in this troubled world.
Abramovic, who gives the impression of being more like a Satanic coven leader than any traditional kind of artist that you might recognize, mostly focuses on dark ritualistic and occultic themes related to pornography, pain, suffering, and death. She recently sweetly explained to an Artnet reporter, “We are so afraid of pain. I don’t like pain, but I think that pain is such an important element in human life. Suffering is like a kind of gate in order to understand the universe, in order to understand yourself.”
Zelensky probably isn’t completely crazy to hire her as an “ambassador,” whatever that means. Putting her on the public payroll is almost certainly connected to the Clintons. Yesterday’s announcement came right on the heels of breathless news about the Clinton Foundation’s involvement in Ukraine’s “rebuilding” effort:
I bet the Ukrainians can’t wait.
Call me crazy, but “rebuilding” seems a little premature, what with Ukraine still pursuing its glorious Counteroffensive, which by all accounts is somewhat slow going, not to point fingers or anything. But I digress again.
You’d be forgiven for not knowing much about the Serbian performer, or artist, whichever. Abramovic first popped up on the public radar during the Pizzagate pedophile controversy. Wikileaks dumped Hilary Clinton emails that linked the Serbian artist to the Clintons, and their friends, and included some very sketchy discussions that some folks claim are packed with standard pedophile code words.
Abramovic also has a way of turning up around major pedophile stories and disaster zones like Haiti where orphaned kids are a dime a dozen.
For instance, here’s Abramovic pictured with ‘John of God,’ a Brazilian cult leader sentenced last week to 118 years in prison for operating a child sex slave farm where he kept teenagers as sex slaves and sold their babies for up to £40,000.
To give you an idea just what kind of “artist” Ms. Abramovic is, the Telegraph described her latest public exhibition at London’s Royal Academy, which is called “Imponderabilia” and runs through next year. Oxford defines “imponderable” as “a factor that is difficult or impossible to estimate or assess.” The Royal Academy imponderably described the experience of attending Abramovic’s show as “forcing a confrontation between nakedness, and the gender, the sexuality, the desire.”
Sounds wholesome. Kids under 16 are welcome if accompanied by an adult.
They aren’t messing around. When the Royal Academy said “forcing a confrontation with nakedness,” they meant it, literally. To get in, after paying £25, visitors have to literally slide between two naked sex workers, er, sorry, “performance artists.” Watch the bump.
Once you slide on in, things get even more bizarre and less-artlike. Here’s how the Telegraph described Abramovic’s art show. Remember, this is the
positive description:
(The show) includes Luminosity in which a naked woman is pinned high up on the wall in a crucifix pose while seated on a bicycle saddle.
Nude with Skeleton, inspired by the ancient practice of Tibetan monks sleeping with a dead or decaying body, will see a naked performance artist lie still on the ground with a skeleton on top of them for hours.
In another piece, House With the Ocean View, three women will occupy separate open platforms on the gallery wall, for 24 hours a day over 12 days without talking and drinking only water.
Remember, this is the toned-down, Royal Academy version of Marina’s art. She usually prefers to challenge her audience more directly with things like explicit Satanic imagery (pentagrams and severed goat heads), cannibalism, piles of bloody, dismembered body parts or bones, spells written in bloody fingerprints on walls, and so forth. I’ll spare you the pictures, you can easily find them online if your curiosity is feeling morbid.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Imponderably, this kind of “art” is what celebrities, world leaders, and rebuilding Ukrainians enjoy the most. You couldn’t possibly name a better-connected artist than Marina Abramovic. She’s looted treasuries all over the world.
Curiously, according to an article run yesterday in Artnet, the 76-year-old performance artist recently had a
pulmonary embolism and almost died. She then had three operations and ten transfusions. “I was in unbelievable pain, they said it was a miracle I survived,” Abromovic said. I’m not sure I’d use the word ‘miracle.’ Sounds like a jab injury to me. But the good news was all that pain must have been a very enthralling experience for the occult performer, an experience that probably opened an artistic gate to Hell or Nancy Pelosi’s living room, six or half a dozen, either way a soul-stretchingly painful experience that helped her “understand herself and the Universe” better.
Marina is feeling better now. According to Artnet, she’s “too weak now” to do any performing herself. But don’t worry, that frees her for pursuing her other interests. She’s not too weak, for example, to visit war zones, collect Ukrainian orphans, or serve as the unfortunate country’s “Ambassador.”
Imponderable is a good word for it.
Zelensky makes surprising pick for ambassador; Seattle surprised by pro-drug activists; amazing Heritage project terrifies libs; identity illness spreads at fetish festival; unlikely good Newsom news.

There was more bad news for the Proxy War this weekend, and perhaps a sign of things not to come. The UK Daily Mail, in a classic long-form headline, reported “Ukraine slams G20 declaration saying it's 'nothing to be proud of' after Biden and other leaders sign on to document that doesn't call Russia an aggressor in the war but bans nukes.”
