Russian artist Pytr Pavlensly set fire to the floor windows of a branch of the Banque de France on the Place de la Bastille. A video showed him standing in the doorway of the fortresslike building, a black-clad figure framed by wings of flame. The site had been carefully chosen. The Banque de France is the French equivalent of the Federal Reserve, and this particular outpost was erected where the Bastille prison, stormed by revolutionary mobs in 1789, once stood. In the text accompanying the work, titled “Lighting,” Pavlensky declared the bank a symbol of modern-day tyranny and central bankers the new despots. Previously, Pavlensky was arrested and convicted in Russia for nailing his scrotum to the Red Square pavement, and again in Paris for wrapping himself naked in barbed wire in a public space, presenting les gendarmes with a classic situationist dilemma: hurting him while arresting the performer and face prosecution for negligence or letting him go. #createdangerously #bitcoin image
“Come you masters of war. You that build the big guns. You that build the death planes. You that build all the big bombs. You that hide behind walls. You that hide behind desks. I just want you to know I can see through your masks. Let me ask you one question, Is your money that good? Will it buy you forgiveness, do you think that it could? I think you will find, when your death takes its toll, all the money you made, will never buy back your soul” ~Bob Dylan 📸 Bob Dylan by R Avedon (1966) #makewarunaffordable #createdangerously image

In 1846, Henry Thoreau was in prison because he refused to pay taxes to the US government, which was using the money to wage war with Mexico and steal its land. His friend Ralph Waldo Emerson came to see him. Emerson asked, “Why are you in prison?” Thoreau replied, “Why are you not in prison?” #revolution #bitcoin #nostr #makewarunaffordable image
