They were a bait and switch. It was the climate dealie. The real attention that picture generated was the spirit cooking. Spirit Cooking is massively important and really should be the focal point of proving the network of weirdos. We've moved away from that into speculation about a lot of things (like the 14 / fish), instead of hammering that core evidence out (the cuts on his hand).

Spirit Cooking is massively important.

Spirit Cooking was not even massively important to Ambramovic. It's a pretty minor work.

A lot of evidence looks like absolute insanity to anyone who doesn't have a top-down view of Pizzagate. You know what riles people up? The rich and powerful playing in blood and semen and then walking the halls of power. Maybe you're right, it's so unimportant she's doing house calls for it specifically /s.

Yeah, by the time she was "doing house calls" for it. It was just a simple dinner with a Tibetan Buddhist ritual at the end. It was not performance art.

The Spirit Cooking perfromance doesn't appear in the the documentary about her career and that performance didn't appear in her career retrospective at MOMA. Just the poems appeared.

You could be someone pretty well acquainted with her work and never have heard of Spirit Cooking. It simply wasn't what she was known for. Spirit Cooking is not Satanism or Witchcraft and if there's spiritual tradition she believes in, it's probably Tibetan Buddhism. And yes, her performance art is deliberately provocative and there's been controversy about her career (and about performance art itself) since her career began. Sometimes her stuff works and some times it doesn't. She also deliberately works in scary stuff. She has said that she does work about what she is afraid of.

Here's a performance of hers that does work for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IJte841c4A

You're as bad as the Crowley apologists.

Podesta has cuts consistent with spirit cooking on his hand, and the Podestas like a house call.

It's not a Tibetan dinner.

There's no cuts consistent with Spirit Cooking. If you think there is, the whole freaking thing flew over your head.

It's poetry. Do you really thing people cook on top of volcanoes? And wait until their tongues become flames? Or that nightmare dreams are an ingredient? Or people drink liquid silver? or that people can eat all the questions of a day?

how about this one? You really think people do this? https://www.moma.org/collection/works/146752?locale=en

Or this for high blood pressure? https://www.moma.org/media/W1siZiIsIjIzMzU1NiJdLFsicCIsImNvbnZlcnQiLCItcmVzaXplIDIwMDB4MjAwMFx1MDAzZSJdXQ.jpg?sha=c114cd49befc2f12

you understand that's a joke right?
