					<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, I attended a church that was, without doubt, the most creative place I&#039;ve ever been. One program that was offered was icon painting - we brought in and iconographer who led a week-long workshop or retreat at which each participants learned to paint a Byzantine icon.

I&#039;m about the exact opposite of a painter. I have no talent in this area. But the process for painting an icon is not like the process for painting and original work - the object is to make the most faithful copy you can of these &quot;family portraits.&quot; If you want to denigrate the process, you can call it paint-by-number, but it&#039;s so much more.

We started by tracing the outlines of the icon we were working from onto our gessoed board, then spent one entire day filling in the basic shapes with featureless, dark base colors. Then, each day after that, we brought more and more light into our work.

Day four we referred to as &quot;hands and faces day.&quot; Bent only inches over our boards, brushstroke by brushstroke, we watched the face of Christ, of Mary, of one of the saints emerge emerge. It was... ineffable.]]></description>

The contrast between the two four stars was stark; White Rage Milley who is oh so concerned with and subservient to Xi, and Admiral Charles Rich, USN, who isn&#039;t carrying Xi&#039;s water, or worse as White Rage Milley did in the winter of 2020 to President Trump.

					<description><![CDATA[To the Vermeer and methods of analysis; the use of OCT for investigating the vertical structure of the pigments and glazes is eye opening.

I am familiar with OCT scans because they are used to characterize the layers (cellular structure) of the retina.  Yep, in your eyes.

Glaucoma, pattern dystrophies, macular dystrophies of various kinds, physical distortion and wrinkling of the layers of the retina are documented and tracked with OCT scans.  Painless and informative, speaking  as a patient.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The full interview with Mike Davis (beginning at 6-26m) is more coherent and detailed, and furthermore explains what’s at stake, re The Rule of Law.

Democrat offices at the presidential levels are figureheads. The real power is exercised by their supporting staff, and this is where the radical action is strategised. 12m

“This is absolutely election interference, and Congress has an obligation to investigate,” says Davis. 17-18m

Muzzling Trump shows that this is entirely political. If it happens, then it’s immediately appealable, adds Davis.

Then, Davis expands and explains the Soros Prosecutor’s cabal and its national significance.

The Rep, Jordan led House Committee on the Weaponization of Federal government needs to be CONSTANTLY on offence, holding investigative hearings on this and related DOJ abuses.
