The Post-Partisan Emporium

  Pole Shift by Karl Richter Arktos Journal Karl Richter argues that Iran’s response to Western blasphemy at the Olympics symbolizes the dying West and the rise of new global powers like Russia, China, and parts of the Islamic world. The picture shows the response of Shiite Iran to Western blasphemy at the opening of the Olympic Games: in Tehran, Leonardo’s famous  Last Supper , which was mocked in Paris with LGBT, pedophile, and Satanic symbolism, was adorned with a Quran verse: “The Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, is the Messenger of God.” (Surah 4, 171) It is strangely touching, but it also confirms an experience I had years ago in Lebanon.

I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I put a lot of stake in the images that uncontrollably flash into my mind, and when I woke up the next morning I kept seeing the same thing: Post Malone’s bolo tie.  The Ozempicked pop star eschewed his wiggerish priors for a clean cut cowboy rendition of “America the Beautiful.” Why was I thinking about this? Where had I seen it before? At the Grammys, Beyonce had appeared in cowboy gear wearing a bolo tie with a similar turquoise clasp ...
