painting funny ddoollapps......"One morning in 1963, two agents from the Secret Service knocked on the door of Dowd's studio. They took him down to the Federal building in downtown LA, where they sternly read to him a litany of counterfeiting laws. Evidently it didn't matter that he was a former U.S. Marine.
"They were attempting to intimidate me with all these threats" he says. "It was really a matter of them attempting to tell me that if I continued to paint money, that I would be arrested for counterfeiting, that I was breaking the law". "They did have some work of mine that they had confiscated as contraband. They told me they were going to museums and collectors and confiscate all the paintings out of the collections. "My situation as a young artist, struggling at that point, was that I certainly didn't need any major problems added onto my life at the moment, in terms of survival and trying to do my work". ROBERT O'DOWD
The 1960s were a time of social unrest. Hoover's FBI and the government thought anybody who was anti-establishment should be investigated and persecuted despite the right of freedom of expression. Unfortunately for Dowd his fascination with painting currency caught the attention of the Secret Service. Painting currency in those days was considered counterfeiting even if intended as a spoof.
THESE DAYS, THE US GOVERNMENT IS PRINTING DOLLARS WHICH CAN BE ONLY DESCRIBED AS FUNNY MONEY... IT IS HARD TO KNOW WHERE ALL THIS IS GOING TO... AS RUSSIA AND CHINA HAVE MADE A DEAL TO BYPASS THE DOOOLLLARDS, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES, BASICALLY BY-PASSING SANCTIONS — WHICH ARE IN DOLLARS AND OTHER WESTERN CURRENCIES PEGGED TO THE DOLOROSSARD....

The IRS made an unexpected visit to the home of Matt Taibbi on the same day that he testified before Congress, the "Twitter Files" journalist has disclosed to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).
Along with fellow Twitter Files author Michael Shellenberger, Taibbi testified on March 9 before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, citing internal Twitter communications he obtained showing the social media giant's coordination with the government on content moderation. That same day, the IRS visited Taibbi's residence in New Jersey and left a note instructing him to call the agency, Jordan revealed on Monday in a letter to the IRS that was reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

"The Committee recently learned that during this hearing, an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent visited, unannounced and unprompted, the home of one of the hearing witnesses, Matthew Taibbi, an independent journalist who has reported extensively on government abuse," Jordan wrote to Treasury Department Secretary Janet Yellen and IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel.
"In light of the hostile reaction to Mr. Taibbi’s reporting among left-wing activists, and the IRS’s history as a tool of government abuse, the IRS’s action could be interpreted as an attempt to intimidate a witness before Congress," the letter continued. "We expect your full cooperation with our inquiry."

Prof Wolff explains the ongoing attack on the conditions of workers. "The system is organized to put the burdens of itself onto the mass of people and to keep those at the top rich and comfortable. But here's the big challenge there is in the United States, a coming together of the critics of capitalism who've always been there and the victims of capitalism." - Richard Wolff
