You may have heard of Tom Slick, the man who financed many early expeditions in search of Sasquatch both the in US and internationally. But did you know he was also a scientist, military man, inventor, philanthropist, and much more? Learn the strange, fascinating and tragically short history of Thomas Baker Slick Jr. with Heather Moser, Mark Matzke and guest host Aaron Deese.  Email - Monsteropolis@smalltownmonsters.com   SHOW NOTES Monsteropolis: Tom Slick   Welcome back, you lawless knaves.    READER MAIL - got at least one - HERE IT IS, from our friend Christine! — Hi Guys,   First of all, congratulations on the success of your 10th anniversary Kickstarter!  I can't wait to see your new films, especially The Siege of Ape Canyon and The Kinderhook Creature.   I listened with interest to the Monsteropolis episode where you described the changing nature of the appearance of the Wendigo in popular culture from an emaciated human being to one with antlers and a stag's skull. In the fall last year I became aware of the legend of the Leshy of pagan Slavic culture through an excellent YA novel called "Where the Dark Stands Still" by Polish writer A.B. Poranek. When I googled the Leshy I was astounded to see images of what I recognised as the Wendigo. So this got me thinking - is there a Slavic influence at play here too? Perhaps this is something you could look in to!    I am really looking forward to the book and film regarding the Wendigo which I understand may come out next year. I have been fascinated by the Wendigo since reading Algernon Blackwood's novella and there is one passage in particular that always sticks in my mind:   "And soon after he slept, the change of wind he had divined stirred gently the reflection of the stars within the lake. Rising among the far ridges of the country beyond Fifty Island Water, it came from the direction in which he had stared, and it passed over the sleeping camp with a faint and sighing murmur through the tops of the big trees that was almost too delicate to be audible. With it, down the desert paths of night, though too faint, too high even for the Indian's hair-like nerves, there passed a curious, thin odor, strangely disquieting, an odor of something that seemed unfamiliar—utterly unknown."   Christine   (your biggest Scottish fan who lives in Germany

Sean bienvenidos a un nuevo directo en mi canal de Twitch que será luego colgado en video en mi canal de Odysee y también en formato audio en Ivoox. Allí como siempre tendrán en la descripción del podcast todos los enlaces de los artículos, videos y textos citados. Así es como empece la entradilla el dia 19 de octubre de 2023 pero a la media hora mi cuenta de Twitcht fue volatilizada y me he enterado que tanto LBRY como Odysee van a cerrar y mi cuenta va a desaparecer. No se si habrás logrado ver este video o tan solo escuchado el audio en Ivoox pero desde luego eres parte de eso que algunos denominan “la resistencia”. Ya saben que desde buscadores de la verdad huimos de la fragilidad de comentar la actualidad ya que esta es volátil y normalmente desaparece en cuanto nuevos pedazos de actualidad son vomitados por los medios masivos. Acabamos de olvidar la guerra de Ucrania porque las potencias mundiales tienen un nuevo juguete que se llama guerra de Gaza. En este caso voy a tocar de refilón todo lo que está pasando entre israelíes y palestinos para hablar sobre como nos engañan con las guerras fake y las falsas banderas. Por supuesto en todas las guerras mueren personas y se producen atrocidades a las que no deberíamos acostumbrarnos nunca. Voy a empezar con unas frases de Thierry Meyssan de su artículo “Cambio de paradigma en Palestina” ya que creo que es uno de los que mejor describen la complejidad de lo que sucede en Palestina y todos los actores que intervienen: “El sangriento conflicto iniciado en la Palestina geográfica se produce luego de 75 años de injusticias igualmente sangrientas. A la luz del Derecho Internacional, los palestinos tienen derecho –tanto como el deber– de oponer resistencia a la ocupación israelí. Los israelíes, por su parte, tienen igualmente derecho a responder a la agresión. Al mismo tiempo, nosotros tenemos, todos, la responsabilidad de ayudar a resolver las injusticias que sufren las dos partes, lo cual no quiere decir que apoyemos las crueldades y venganzas que cometen algunos individuos de ambos bandos. Por otro lado, el apoyo que merecen los pueblos palestino e israelí, no debe conducir a la impunidad de sus dirigentes respectivos por los crímenes que hayan cometido, como tampoco debe traducirse en impunidad para las potencias que los manipulan.” Hay que dejar claro desde el principio que tal como dice el sr Meyssan “la franja de Gaza es gobernada por el Hamas, la rama palestina de la Hermandad Musulmana. Los gobernantes de Gaza son individuos que no ven en el islam una forma de espiritualidad sino un arma de conquista, son asalariados, principalmente, del Reino Unido, de Qatar, de Israel, de Turquía, Irán y la Unión Europea.” Recordar a nuestros oyentes que la Hermandad Musulmana fue fundada en Egipto en 1928 por el jeque Hasán al Bana en plena construcción del canal de Suez cuando Egipto estaba lleno de extranjeros para dicha construcción. “Constructores”, ya saben, muchos de ellos masones. “En el momento de su creación, Hamas estaba financiado por el Reino Unido y tuvo el apoyo de los servicios secretos de Israel, deseoso de utilizarlo para debilitar el movimiento creado por Yaser Arafat. Israel asesinó después al líder religioso del Hamas, el jeque Yasin.” El antiguo aliado de Israel, “el Hamas palestino atacó Israel, el 7 de octubre de 2023, a las 6 de la mañana, o sea en ocasión del 50º aniversario de la “Guerra de octubre de 1973”, conocida en Occidente bajo la denominación israelí de “Guerra del Yom Kippur”.” Tenerse que creer que una de las fronteras mejor vigiladas del mundo haya sido asaltada sin prácticamente oposición y precisamente en dicho 50 aniversario es bastante ridículo, pero es que no solo han ido por mar y tierra, o utilizado el clásico lanzamiento de cohetes, esta vez debemos creer que se han introducido mediante parapentes motorizados. Curiosamente en la portada de The Economist de diciembre de 2012, hace 11 años exactos, vemos el uso de este sistema de ataque aéreo arriba del todo. Allí se están enfrentando palestinos e israelíes en medio del control del mundo por parte de los demonios. No dejen de ver esta portada. Debemos creernos que uno de los ejércitos mejor entrenados del mundo tenia solo a unos pocos soldados profesionales y un montón de gente haciendo la mili en las cercanías de dicha frontera y que el Mossad, uno de los servicios secretos mas eficaces, hizo caso omiso a pocos días del ataque a las advertencias del gobierno egipcio que había hablado en repetidas ocasiones con los israelíes sobre "algo grande", al igual que por parte de algunos rabinos ultraortodoxos. La inteligencia estadounidense advirtió la posibilidad de violencia días antes del ataque de Hamas y tampoco fue escuchada y recordemos que el ataque se produjo en el 50º aniversario de la “Guerra del Yom Kippur”, una fecha que obviamente tendrían ambos bandos señalada en el calendario. Según una investigación de CNN, los combatientes se entrenaron para el ataque en al menos seis lugares de Gaza, incluido uno situado a menos de un kilómetro y medio de la frontera con Israel. El sistema de alarma en la frontera no funcionó. Las cientos de cámaras que deben estar constantemente operativas parece que no vieron como se colaban centenares de terroristas a una hora donde ya se veía perfectamente, incluso no vieron la llegada de alguna excavadora gigante o el sonido de los enormes camiones que también utilizaron. Los sistemas electrónicos en la frontera, en cuya construcción y equipamiento Israel había invertido miles de millones de dólares, quedaron inútiles. Numerosas cámaras y sensores tampoco ayudaron a detectar y detener el ataque palestino, así como las patrullas de combate, que por alguna razón simplemente no estaban cerca. Los drones palestinos pudieron alcanzar fácilmente ametralladoras automáticas y torres de sensores, y los equipos de asalto de Hamás volaron tranquilamente la valla y cruzaron la frontera. Se ve perfectamente en algunos videos como no hay nadie en las torres de vigilancia mientras son bombardeadas con un dron. Nadie intenta atacarlos. Debido al fallo de la alarma, cientos de soldados de las FDI murieron en los campos, en los cuarteles y mientras dormían. Contrariamente a la creencia popular, los palestinos no pasaron por alto las fortificaciones y bases de las FDI. Asaltaron agresivamente tanto los puestos de control como las bases donde se encontraban soldados y vehículos blindados. Al mismo tiempo, Hamás dejó de utilizar los tanques que tenia al alcance, probablemente debido a la baja cualificación de los atacantes o tal vez a la falta de necesidad. Hay videos de los terroristas en medio de mas de media docena de tanques vacíos. Aún no está claro dónde se encontraban en aquel momento los centinelas, los guardias de seguridad y las fuerzas de cobertura. Hasta aproximadamente el mediodía del 7 de octubre, el gobierno israelí prácticamente no mostró respuesta a los combates. Tardaron siete largas horas en plantarle cara a estos terroristas que como decía el artículo de la CNN llevaban mas de 2 años planificando los ataques. La Sexta nos mostraba el otro dia campos de entrenamiento a cielo abierto pegados a la frontera israelí ensayando las técnicas de secuestros masivos a plena luz del día. ¡Sí, el telecreyente se lo traga todo hoy dia! Incluso se ha descubierto que portaban planos de las bases militares y del entorno del ataque. El Rabino Chananya Weisman afirmó que “Benjamin Netanyahu ordenó al ejército israelí que se retirara durante siete horas durante la invasión de Hamas”. En el campo es sábado por la mañana, Shabat. Sólo a las 14 o 15 horas las fuerzas de seguridad comenzaron a reunir reservistas y a organizar redadas de represalia. Sin embargo, la muerte del comandante de la brigada de infantería Nahal, Jonathan Steinberg, indica una reacción apresurada con fuerzas que de alguna manera pudieron reunirse de inmediato. Al parecer, la intervención de Nahal en las batallas contra Hamás fue iniciada por el comandante de la brigada y no fue una orden directa del Estado Mayor. Posiblemente no sabia nada de los planes que alguien había decidido para aquel dia. En cuanto al ataque de la fiesta hippie en el Kibbutz Re’im justo en la zona donde se llevaron a cabo los ataques y donde supuestamente al menos 280 participantes fueron violados y masacrados toca decir que solo tres días antes de dicha celebración se supo la zona de celebración acercándola a la frontera de Gaza. El evento SUPERNOVA SUKKOT | 06-07.10 | UNIVERSO PARALELO ISRAEL EDITION fue creado el 21 de junio en la web TRIBE of Nova y como digo no se supo la localización del evento hasta el dia 4 de octubre. En la web de dicho evento podíamos leer: “Crearás un entorno seguro para encontrar la calma interior, la paz, la armonía, el equilibrio mental, la liberación de tensiones o preocupaciones innecesarias, descansar o simplemente relajarte divirtiéndote con personas especiales y enriqueciéndote a ti mismo de una manera nueva y refrescante.” Un evento con unas 3000 personas situado a menos de 4 kilómetros de la valla que separa los territorios de Gaza, en medio de una zona desértica sin ningún soldado israelí vigilando en la zona, tan solo algunos miembros de seguridad privada. Eso era un entorno seguro para esta gente. ¿Y qué opina parte de la opinión pública israelí tras este entrecomillas “ataque sorpresa” de Hamas? Pues según el Jerusalem Post “Los israelíes culpan al gobierno por la masacre de Hamás y dicen que Netanyahu debe dimitir”. “Cuatro de cada cinco judíos israelíes creen que el gobierno y el primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu son los culpables de la infiltración masiva de terroristas de Hamas en Israel y la masacre que siguió, según una nueva encuesta del Centro de Diálogo publicada el jueves. Una abrumadora mayoría: el 86% de los encuestados, incluido el 79% de los partidarios de la coalición, dijo que el ataque sorpresa desde Gaza es un fracaso del liderazgo del país , mientras que un asombroso 92% dijo que la guerra está causando ansiedad. Además, casi todos los encuestados (94%) creen que el gobierno debe asumir alguna responsabilidad por la falta de preparación en materia de seguridad que condujo al ataque, y más del 75% dice que el gobierno tiene la mayor parte de la responsabilidad.” Para nosotros todo esto es una nueva falsa bandera, un nuevo 11S, para salirse con la suya dentro de las Estrategias de Manipulación de las que hablaba Noam Chomsky. Crear problemas y después ofrecer soluciones. Este método también es llamado "problema-reacción-solución". En este caso parece que se buscaban tres soluciones finales: La primera sería lograr superar el bache político en el que está envuelto el primer ministro Benjamín Netanyahu por la polémica reforma judicial, que tiene el objetivo de reducir la jurisdicción de la Corte Suprema sobre las decisiones del Poder Legislativo israelí. La segunda acabar de una vez por todas con el problema del terrorismo en la franja de Gaza impidiendo que se escondan terroristas en medio de una gran ciudad haciendo que la mayor ciudad de la franja quede reducida a escombros. Recordemos que Hamas tiene cada vez más poderío militar gracias a las suculentas donaciones de entre otros la UE. Para ello Israel debe pasar a ser el indefenso que es atacado sin piedad por bestias inhumanas. ¿Creen que un ataque así favorece en algo a las reivindicaciones del pueblo palestino? Y en tercer lugar hacerse con el control de por lo menos una gran parte de la costa que ocupa actualmente la franja de Gaza para poder reclamar el acceso a los yacimientos gasísticos que se conocen desde 1990 pero que se han revalorizado a niveles estratosféricos desde el 2009. Luego hablaré más en profundidad sobre esto. Que el mundo se haya creído que una de las fronteras mejor vigiladas haya sido asaltada sin prácticamente oposición y precisamente en el 50 aniversario es bastante ridículo...pero que además las imágenes que nos ofrezcan del bando asaltante incluyan muñecos de goma como este supuesto soldado israelí es para que nos lo hagamos mirar. ¡Miren bien estas imágenes, no existen soldados con todos los huesos del cuerpo rotos haciendo guardia encima de un tanque! Esto solo puede significar dos cosas: estas imágenes son montaje del bando judío para lograr la tensión necesaria, el casus belli, el motivo de guerra…recuerden “problema-reacción-solución". O que ambos bandos en su nivel superior están en lo mismo, ambos son parte del NWO global y son utilizados con un fin. Ambas cúpulas dirigentes son parte de un culto global que cada vez asoma mas la patita. Pero es que podemos ver también campañas de desinformación con muñecos bebé simulando ser niños asesinados en los recientes bombardeos del ejército israelí o incluso el supuesto bombardeo de un convoy de civiles palestinos que intentaba desplazarse hasta la zona egipcia. En ambos casos, nosotros debemos ser neutrales. 50 años más tarde volvemos a tener un ataque histórico contra Israel, recuerden que la crisis del petróleo empezó a costa de esa crispación por la toma de los altos del Golán y la correspondiente reacción del ejército israelí que ya había demostrado en 1967 de lo que era capaz. No defiendo el uso de la violencia por ninguna de las partes. Mucho me temo que esta nueva crisis que se avecina también tendrá su componente económico mundial y sea utilizada tal vez para dar el espaldarazo final a la moneda digital de los gobiernos, las famosas CBDCs. Desgraciadamente una paz duradera y una repartición de los enormes recursos de la zona, todo el gas y petróleo de la zona suponen unos 545.000 millones de dólares, supondría un enorme beneficio para ambas partes. “La guerra es la salida cobarde a los problemas de la paz”. Thomas Mann, escritor alemán. Y ahora veamos más de cerca algunos de esos eventos de falsa bandera para comprender que hemos vuelto a ser engañados y que algunas personas que se conocen han decidido que se maten entre si personas que no se conocen para ser aún mas ricas. ………………………………………………………………………………………. Hemos visto una comparecencia del senador Ron Paul contándonos las verdades del barquero, esas cosas que la TV no suele repetir a menudo. Pero sí, podríamos decir que el terrorismo de Hamas es una creación de los Estados Unidos en unión con Israel y que toda la radicalización del mundo musulmán ha venido sobrevenida en gran parte por la injerencia de servicios secretos extranjeros para rodear con una especie de cortafuegos a Rusia. (005 Palestinos e israelíes en la cama) Pero yo voy a ir más lejos, yo creo que ambas partes la del terrorismo de Hamas y el terrorismo del sionismo que maltrata de forma inhumana a los árabes que ha encerrado en Israel están en la misma cama y son parte de la agenda 2030 del tiparraco del WEF, el señor Klaus Schwab. A Israel y a USA no les interesa que el problema palestino termine y ni mucho menos los están exterminando. Tan solo hay que ver la gráfica del crecimiento de población en la franja de Gaza. Las mujeres gazadies tienen una media de 4,5 hijos frente a los 1,2 de las españolas, bueno ya me entienden, de los niños que nacen en España gracias a la inmigración extranjera. Vamos a contarles como he dicho antes algo que no les contara el periodismo que calla, ese que miente todos los días y que trabaja para el poder-religión en la sombra. Resulta que frente a la franja de Gaza hay un enorme campo marino con petróleo y gas para aburrir. Desde que la petrolera británica BG Group descubrió en el año 2000 unos 45.000 millones de metros cúbicos de gas recuperable en el mar de Gaza no ha habido forma de ponerse de acuerdo a la hora de repartirse el pastel. Y lo más curioso es que como pueden ver en este mapa de la zona que está bloqueada y pertenece a la exploración de esa compañía, hay dos zonas bien definidas una más cerca de la Egipto y otra más al norte. “En 2019 un importante estudio de la ONU concluyó que “la ocupación sigue impidiendo a los palestinos desarrollar sus yacimientos energéticos (petróleo y gas) para explotar y beneficiarse de estos activos”. Así, al pueblo palestino se le han negado los beneficios de utilizar este recurso natural para financiar el desarrollo socioeconómico y satisfacer sus necesidades energéticas. Las pérdidas acumuladas se estiman en miles de millones de dólares.” Podemos seguir leyendo en un interesantísimo artículo que compartir en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox titulado “La multinacional Chevron saquea el petróleo de Gaza con el apoyo de Estados Unidos”: “El valor neto de estos recursos asciende a 524.000 millones de dólares, que deberían repartirse adecuadamente entre las distintas partes, incluidas Israel y Palestina: “Estos yacimientos podrían unificarse, y su desarrollo podría llevarse a cabo en nombre de todas las partes, cuyos derechos de propiedad tendrían que establecerse antes de la explotación… Los palestinos tienen un gran interés no sólo en los yacimientos situados bajo su territorio, sino en todas las reservas comunes”. Según el informe, los palestinos ya han perdido aproximadamente 2.570 millones de dólares debido a que “Israel les impide el ejercicio de su derecho a beneficiarse de la explotación de sus recursos naturales, garantizado por el derecho internacional. Cuanto más tiempo impida Israel a los palestinos explotar sus reservas de petróleo y gas natural, mayores serán los costes de oportunidad de estas reservas y los costes de la ocupación que soportan los palestinos”.” Si dividiésemos la franja de Gaza en dos se podría repartir ese gas como buenos hermanos entre Israel y los Palestinos. Y eso, señores, es la hipótesis que creo que esta debajo de esta falsa bandera que estamos padeciendo en estos momentos. Un acuerdo off the record entre las potencias implicadas Turquia, Qatar, Egipto, Palestina, Israel y Estados Unidos y el verdadero poder que se mantiene por encima de estas supuestas naciones soberanas. Dejar atrás un bloqueo histórico de esos recursos naturales con la excusa del terrorismo y mediante la guerra posterior repartirse un botín de guerra billonario. Para ello se está utilizando una fuerte campaña de Fake news y de programación mediante el trauma para hacernos caer en uno de los dos bandos. Este video no corresponde al conflicto actual entre Israel y Palestina, se trata de un documental palestino de la artista de maquillaje Mariam Salah de hace aproximadamente 6 años. Sin embargo es una de las noticias falsas que corre como la pólvora en Twitter. La desinformación campa a sus anchas y tenemos que ver supuestos bombardeos de caravanas de ciudadanos intentando huir de la zona de Gaza que los israelíes quieren controlar. Ya saben dividir en dos la franja de Gaza para poder repartirse el botín de guerra, ese mas de medio billón de dólares en gas y petróleo. Ya han visto, bueno, no han visto porque los medios censuran y pixelan las imágenes, así que vamos a verlas sin pixelar y desde la neutralidad y la tranquilidad que da saber que son parte de un teatrillo y que no ha muerto nadie. Bueno, tenemos a una doctora así que vamos a dejar que opine, pero yo veo que ningún vehículo ha sufrido daños que indiquen un bombardeo aéreo. Veo cristales impolutos, veo un camión sin daños exteriores, no veo ningún cráter de un bombardeo, en fin, veo un montaje hollywoodense como diría Pedro Bustamante. Lo curioso del tema es que ningún bando acusa al otro de colar videos falsos. Los videos como el del soldado israelí de trapo que es arrojado al suelo desde el tanque es aprovechado por los dos bandos garantizando su autenticidad. Los israelíes no denuncian que eso es un muñeco y obviamente los terroristas de Hamas tampoco dicen esta boca es mía. Ya nos la metieron doblada con la utilización de muñecos durante la Tragipandemia así que espero que no seamos tan tontos y volvamos a caer en lo mismo. ………………………………………………………………………………………. En estos momentos tan duros donde la desinformación campa a sus anchas y se busca lograr un conflicto global es bueno recordar que en las guerras siempre se miente y como Colin Powell nos mintió a todos con aquellas "armas de destrucción masiva”. Cómo nuestro entonces presidente J.M. Aznar se unió a aquella mentira y nos hizo participar en una guerra injusta. ¿Viven mejor o peor que con su anterior régimen los iraquíes? ¿Es más seguro el mundo tras aquella guerra injustificable? La verdad a veces tarda demasiado tiempo en abrirse camino. Hoy día muchos millones de personas siguen pensando en que USA hizo bien en erradicar el régimen iraquí y matar a millones de personas. Pero solo hay una verdad, con muchas vertientes, pero solo hay una. Yo llevo denunciando las mentiras de ambos bandos desde hace mucho. Cómo por ejemplo en este atentado del ISIL el 20 de marzo de 2015. ¿Bombas que no mueven del sitio libros y hojas de papel? Falsos atentados como el de Boston. Todo para aterrorizar a un público que solo ve la TV y lee los periódicos. Un público obediente que teme salirse de lo que diga el mainstream...yo vi aquel video "no oficial" y aquello fue puro teatro. La TV es experta en engañarnos. Este es Charles Jaco corresponsal en la Guerra del Golfo para la CNN. Fue muy famoso. Y sí, algunas veces estuvo allí...pero no siempre. Los televidentes norteamericanos esperaban pacientes su dosis de guerra de su periodista favorito. Pero el no estaba en Irak, estaba trabajando en un estudio con pantalla verde. ¿No me creen? He troceado estos 34 segundos para que vean que todo era falso. Las palmeras. El hotel. El fondo en llamas. ¡Todo estaba siendo grabado en un estudio! Las fotos de "este héroe" se venden por cientos de dólares. Eso es la TV. Pura propaganda de guerra. Sean todo lo neutrales que puedan y todo lo críticos que les permita su cosmovisión. Y recuerden que los verdaderos gangsters no se dejan ver...ni siquiera son los que aparecen abajo de este meme. Hago mías las palabras de Antonio Pampliega: "En una guerra, la primera víctima es la verdad y la pena es que nuestras fotografías no paren el conflicto. Lo que no se ve, no existe y hay que darle siempre visibilidad”. Pero tengan mucho cuidado con los medios de "comunicación" ya que sus intereses no son los de sus “telecreyentes". Acuérdense de la fotografía de los turistas japoneses asesinados por Isis donde solo 2 soles podían darnos una explicación lógica. Todo el mundo se creyó este video. Fíjense bien en la sombra del cuello de los turistas japoneses. Hasta la cadena FOX dijo que era un montaje. Fue tan burdo aquello que dejaron de bombardearnos con estas supuestas muertes. Muchos canales "conspiranoicos" hablaron de aquello incluso disidencia controlada como el Sr Jones. Incluso apareció un video del supuesto estudio donde se realizaban estás grabaciones del ISIS. Sé qué es muy duro enfrentarse a las emociones y ver con absoluta neutralidad y sangre fría este tipo de acciones terroristas (vengan de donde vengan) pero la realidad es una. Llevan fingiendo demasiado tiempo y por fortuna hemos empezado a pillarles su juego como en este video donde se simula la explosión de un coche bomba en un barrio de Irak en 2017 y cuyas imágenes fueron distribuidas por todo el mundo en los telediarios de la época. No caigamos en su juego. ………………………………………………………………………………………. La masacre de la Escuela Primaria de Sandy Hook fue un tiroteo escolar que ocurrió el viernes 14 de diciembre de 2012, en la escuela primaria local Sandy Hook (Sandy Hook Elementary School) de Newtown, Connecticut, Estados Unidos. Según los informes oficiales murieron, por lo menos, veintiocho personas entre ellos el niño judio Noah Pozner que casualmente podemos ver en los carteles de otro escenario en Pakistán donde al menos 132 escolares habrían muerto en un ataque talibán a una escuela. Casualmente fue el 16 de diciembre de 2014, solo dos años más tarde. Gordon Duff, un Veterano de la Infantería de Marina en Vietnam, diplomático retirado, autor y redactor jefe de Veterans Today contaba en un articulo del 2013 que “recientes revelaciones terroríficas sobre los ocupantes de una «casa de seguridad» del Mossad, en un exclusivo barrio de Greenwich Village, en la ciudad de Nueva York, involucrados no sólo en los ataques terroristas de Sandy Hook, sino también en intentos por inculpar de forma manifiesta a grupos «neonazis», se ha vuelto un desastre para Israel. No se requiere mucha imaginación para presumir que el grupo israelí planificaba inculpar a los «neo-nazis» portadores de armas por la matanza de Sandy Hook y apoyar la demanda del alcalde de Nueva York, Bloomberg, para confiscar armas a nivel nacional.” Esto nos debería hacer reflexionar sobre cómo nos han estado engañando desde hace mucho utilizando técnicas tan primitivas como el uso de maniquís. La masacre de la Escuela Secundaria de Columbine fue un tiroteo escolar ocurrido el 20 de abril de 1999 en Columbine. ¿Algo muy serio verdad? Uno de los primeros tiroteos con muertos, en este caso 10 víctimas mortales y 15 heridos. Esta tragedia se tornó viral desde el minuto uno y el director de los progres Michael Moore filmó la película documental Bowling for Columbine que ganó varios premios, entre ellos el Óscar a la mejor película documental. Todo esto se utilizó para intentar retirar el permiso de armas a la población civil. Pero veamos algunas de las imágenes que nos mostró la TV sobre aquella matanza. Sí, había un muñeco en el escenario y no pasa nada…los borreguitos siguieron viendo la TV como si nada. Pero aún tenemos un caso mas claro en el tiroteo en el aeropuerto de los Ángeles. El tiroteo se produjo la mañana del 1 de noviembre de 2013 en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Los Ángeles (LAX), y como verán la policía, los técnicos sanitarios y los cuerpos se seguridad estuvieron muy entretenidos paseando a un muñeco por allí. Pero si hay una falsa bandera importante es el 11S o 11 de septiembre en USA. En la descripción del podcast os dejaré el enlace a una pestaña de mi blog donde trato este tema dentro del apartado Cloacas del sistema. Deciros que la mayor censura que yo he sufrido ha sido por compartir un documental sobre las torres gemelas donde se hablaba sobre su construcción. En un artículo titulado “Modern Marvels. World Trade Center los minutos que desaparecen” nuestro amigo Nozick nos explicaba que en dicho documental se contaba como las Torres Gemelas fueron diseñadas para soportar el impacto de los mayores aviones diseñados en esa época. Misteriosamente dicho documental estaba desapareciendo de Youtube. Un documental que se emitió integro en todo el mundo en el canal Historia y que a raíz del autoatentado del 11S fue censurado a nivel global. Las veces que he intentado compartir el documental entero en YouTube o en Archive punto org he sido en un caso castigado con un strike y borrado el video y en el otro expulsado sin miramientos de una plataforma donde se supone que no hay censura. Podéis encontrar el documental en todos lados pero capado, esto es, sin el trozo donde salía el diseñador principal del World Trade Center, el señor A. Martini, diciendo que había diseñado las torres para resistir el impacto de los aviones mas grandes de la época. Pero oigamos de su propia voz esto. Edificios ultra resistentes que no soportan un incendio de queroseno que obviamente no puede derretir el metal ni dañarlo ya que encima se acababa de proteger las vigas para este tipo de eventos. Lo dicho, esto es lo que hay. Grandes intereses económicos y manejo de energías a nivel planetario con fines muy oscuros. Invitados: …. Dra Yane #JusticiaParaUTP Médico y Buscadora de la verdad.

What you'll learn in this episode: Why the best modernist pieces are fetching record prices at auction today How “Messengers of Modernism” helped legitimize modernist jewelry as an art form The difference between modern jewelry and modernist jewelry Who the most influential modernist jewelers were and where they drew their inspiration from Why modernist jewelry was a source of empowerment for women About Toni Greenbaum Toni Greenbaum is a New York-based art historian specializing in twentieth and twenty-first century jewelry and metalwork. She wrote Messengers of Modernism: American Studio Jewelry 1940-1960 (Montréal: Musée des Arts Décoratifs and Flammarion, 1996), Sam Kramer: Jeweler on the Edge (Stuttgart: Arnoldsche Art Publishers, 2019) and “Jewelers in Wonderland,” an essay on Sam Kramer and Karl Fritsch for Jewelry Stories: Highlights from the Collection 1947-2019 (New York: Museum of Arts and Design and Arnoldsche, 2021), along with numerous book chapters, exhibition catalogues, and essays for arts publications. Greenbaum has lectured internationally at institutions such as the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven; Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and Museum of Arts and Design, New York; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and Savannah College of Art and Design Museum of Art, Savannah. She has worked on exhibitions for several museums, including the Victoria and Albert in London, Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, and Bard Graduate Center Gallery, New York. Additional Resources: Link to Purchase Books Toni's Instagram The Jewelry Library  Photos Available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: Once misunderstood as an illegitimate art form, modernist jewelry has come into its own, now fetching five and six-figure prices at auction. Modernist jewelry likely wouldn't have come this far without the work of Toni Greenbaum, an art historian, professor and author of “Messengers of Modernism: American Studio Jewelry, 1940 to 1960.” She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about the history of modernist jewelry; why it sets the women who wear it apart; and where collectors should start if they want to add modernist pieces to their collections. Read the episode transcript here.     Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please go to TheJewelryJourney.com. Today my guest is art historian, professor and author Toni Greenbaum. She is the author of the iconic tome, “Messengers of Modernism: American Studio Jewelry, 1940 to 1960,” which analyzes the output of America's modernist jewelers. Welcome back.    Do you think that if you had looked up and seen Sam Kramer's shop, would you have been attracted?   Toni: Oh, my god, I would have been up in a shot. Are you kidding? I would have tumbled up those stairs had I known it was there. I never even knew what it was, but I was always seeking out that aesthetic, that kind of thing. Like I said, my mother would buy handmade jewelry, silver jewelry, and I loved what she bought. I would go to galleries with her. When I say gallery, they were more like shops; they were like shop-galleries, multimedia boutiques, not specifically jewelry, that would carry handmade jewelry. I loved it. Had I seen Sam Kramer's shop, I would have been up like a shot. The same thing with Art Smith. I would have been down those steps like a shot, but I didn't know they were there, and I was too busy running after boys and going to the coffee shops in Greenwich Village to look carefully.   Sharon: Out here, I don't know if you would have had those influences.   Toni: You had a few shops. You're in the Los Angeles area?   Sharon: Yeah.   Toni: There were a few shops in L.A., not so much in Northern California. There was Nanny's in San Francisco, which was a craft gallery that carried a lot of jewelers. In Southern California there were a few studio shops, but I don't know how prominent they were. I don't know how obvious they were. I don't think that they were as much on people's radar as the ones in New York.   Sharon: When you say studio jewelers, was everything one-off, handmade?   Toni: Yes—well, not necessarily one-off. Generally, what these jewelers would do—this is the best generalization—for the larger, more expensive, more involved pieces, they would make one. When they sold it, they'd make another one, and when they sold that, they'd make another one. If the style was popular, they would also have what they would think of as production lines—earrings, cuff links, tie bars that they would replicate, but they were not cast usually. At that time, very little of it was cast. It was hand-wrought, so there were minor differences in each of the examples. But unless we get into the business records of these jewelers, we don't really know exactly how many they made of each design.   Sharon: Why is it, do you think, that modernist jewelry has been so popular today?   Toni: Oh, that's a good question. That's a very good question. I think a lot has to do with Fifty/50 Gallery's promotion. Fifty/50 was on Broadway at 12th Street, and it was a multimedia gallery that specialized in mid-20th century material. There were three very smart, very savvy, very charismatic owners who truly loved the material like I love it, and when you love something so much, when you have a passion, it's very easy to make other people love it also. I think a lot of the answer to that question is Fifty/50's promotion. They were also a very educative gallery. They were smart, and they knew how to give people the information they needed to know they were buying something special. I think it appeals to a certain kind of person.    Blanche Brown was an art historian in the midcentury who was married to Arthur Danto, who was a philosopher who taught art history at Columbia. His wife, Blanche Brown, was also an art historian. She did a lot of writing, and she would talk about the modernist jewelry, which she loved. It was a badge that she and her cohort would wear with pride because it showed them to be aesthetically aware, politically progressive. It made them stand apart from women who were wearing diamonds and precious jewelry just to show how wealthy their husbands were, which was in the 1940s and 1950s, the women who would wear this jewelry. So, for women like Blanche Brown and women through the 1960s, 70s, 80s and even now—well, now it's different because we have all the contemporary jewelers—but I think it set these women apart. It made them special in a way. It set them apart from the women who were wearing the Cartier and the Van Cleef and Arpels.    You dress for your peers. You dress to make your peers admire you, if not be envious. Within the Bohemian subculture of the 1950s, within the Beat Generation of the 1950s and through the 1960s and the hippies in the 1970s, it set apart that kind of woman. Remember, also, feminism was starting to become a very important aspect of lifestyle. I think when “The Feminine Mystique” came out around 1963—I would have to check it—women were starting to feel empowered. They wanted to show themselves to be intelligent and secure and powerful, and I think modernist jewelry imparted that message when one wore it. It's not that different than people who wear the contemporary jewelry we love so much now. Art Jewelry Forum says it's jewelry that makes you think, and that is what I think a lot of us relate to in that jewelry. It's jewelry with a real concept behind it.   Sharon: That leads me to the next question. I know the biographies repeat themselves. When I was looking up information about you, they said you're an expert in modernist and contemporary jewelry. Contemporary can mean anything. Would you agree with the contemporary aspect?   Toni: I don't view myself as an expert in contemporary. I think I know more than a lot of people about it only because I study it. It's very hard to keep up because there are so many new jewelers popping up all the time. The name of my course that I teach at Pratt is Theory and Criticism of Contemporary Jewelry. Because of that, I do have to keep up to the day because it's a required course for the juniors majoring in jewelry studies, and I feel a responsibility to make them aware of what's happening right at that point I'm teaching it. Things are changing so much in our field, but I don't view myself as an expert. I just think I know a lot about it. It's not my field of expertise, and there's so much. You've got German jewelers, and you've got Chinese jewelers, and you've got Australian and New Zealand jewelers, and you've got Swedish jewelers. All over the world. You've got Estonia, a little, small country, as these major jewelers. They are each individual disciplines in and of themselves.   Sharon: How is it that you wrote the catalogue that became “Messengers of Modernism”? Were you asked to write the catalogue?    Toni: Yeah, I was hired by David Hanks and Associates, which was and still is the curatorial firm. They're American, but they work for the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. At that time, there was a separate Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts, and that's really where Messengers of Modernism—it came under the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts. Now, it has been absorbed into the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. It's just one building. It was a separate building. Basically I was hired by the museum to write the catalogue.   Sharon: And how did it become a book?    Toni: It is a book.    Sharon: Yes, but how did it become—it was a catalogue.   Toni: It's a book, but it functions as the catalogue in the next edition.   Sharon: Right, but I was saying that you wrote the catalogue, and then you said it was published by Flammarion in Paris. Did they say, “Oh, let's take it and make it a book?” How did it transform?   Toni: It was always a book, but it functioned as the catalogue for a particular collection, which is their collection of modernist jewelry. Many exhibitions, even painting exhibitions, when you go to a museum and view a painting exhibition and you buy the accompanying text, it's the catalogue of the exhibition.   Sharon: Yes, but a lot of those don't become books per se. That's why I was wondering, did somebody at the publishers see your catalogue and say, “This would make a great book?” I have never seen the exhibition, but I have the book.   Toni: I think this is a semantic conversation more than anything else. It has become, as I said, the standard text, mostly because nothing else really exists, except I believe Marbeth Schon wrote a book on the modernist jewelers which is more encyclopedic. This book, “Messengers of Modernism,” first of all, it puts the collection in the context of studio craft from the turn of the century up until then, which was then the present. The book was published in 1996. I think what you're saying is it's more important than what we think of as a museum catalogue and it's become a standard text.   Sharon: Yeah.   Toni: It was always conceived as a book about modernist jewelry; it was just focusing on this one collection. What I'm saying is people would say, “Well, why isn't this one in the book? Why did you leave this one out?” and I said, “Well, I didn't leave this one out. This is a book about a finite collection that's in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.” If I were writing a book about modernist jewelry, of course I would have included Claire Falkenstein, but she wasn't in their collection, so it's not in that book. That was basically what I meant.   Sharon: Is there a volume two that's going to be coming out with the ones that weren't in the collection that you think should be in the book?   Toni: That book was published in 1996. We're already in 2022. People are always asking me, but one never knows.    Sharon: I guess you don't need an exhibition to write a catalogue.    Toni: No, to write a book, of course you don't.   Sharon: To write a book. What's on your radar? What do you think you have next? Is it in the realm of modernism that you would be writing about?   Toni: That's really what I write about. I lecture about contemporary jewelry to my students and occasionally to the public, but my area of expertise is modernism. There are cardiologists that have a part of their practice in general medicine, but if somebody has a gastrointestinal problem, they're going to send them to a gastroenterologist. I can deal with the broad strokes, which I do, but unless it's one specific jeweler that I would write about, I would not attempt a book about contemporary jewelry. I would stick with modernism, what I feel very confident and comfortable with.   Sharon: If somebody who's passionate about jewelry but not wealthy said they want to start building a modernist collection, where would they start?   Toni: That is another good question. First of all, they would really have to comb the auctions. If they were very serious about collecting important works, I would send them to Mark McDonald, who's the premier dealer in this material. He was one of the partners of Fifty/50.   Sharon: Right, does he still work in that area? Didn't they close the store? Yeah, they closed the store.   Toni: Yeah, two of the partners tragically died. Mark had Gansevoort Gallery after. That was on Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District here in New York, which was a wonderful gallery also specializing in modernist material, multimedia. Then he had a shop up in Hudson, New York, for many years, right opposite Ornamentum Gallery. That closed, but he still deals privately. He is the most knowledgeable dealer in the period that I know of. If anybody was really serious about starting to collect modernist jewelry, he would be the person I recommend they go to.   Sharon: It sounds like somebody to collaborate with if you're writing your next book.   Toni: We always collaborate. We're good friends and we always collaborate.   Sharon: Where do you see the market for modernist jewelry? Do you see it continuing to grow? Is it flat? Is it growing?   Toni: Yes, the best of it will continue to grow. There was an auction right before the pandemic hit. I think it was February of 2020, right before we got slammed. It was an auction that was organized by David Rago Auction in New Hope, Pennsylvania, and Wright, which is also an auction gallery specializing in modern and modernism from Chicago. Mark McDonald curated the collection, and the idea behind that exhibition was it was going to go from modernist jewelry from the mid-20th century up to the present and show the lineage and the inheritance from the modernist jewelers. It also included Europeans, and there was some wonderful modernist jewelry in that exhibition that sold very well—the move star pieces, the big pieces.    Then there was—I guess a year ago, no more than that—there was an auction at Bonhams auction house which was one couple's collection of modernist jewelry, artist jewelry—and by artists, I mean Picasso and Max Ernst, modernist artists. They collected a lot of Mexican jewelry and two of Art Smith's most major bracelets, his modern cuff and his lava cuff. I always forget which sold for what, but these were copper and brass cuffs. One sold for $18,000 and one sold for $13,000. I think the modern cuff was $18,000 and the lava cuff was $13,000. If anybody comes to my lecture tomorrow for GemEx, I talk about both of them in detail. This is big money. Five figures is very big money for these items, but these are the best of the best, the majors of the major by Art Smith. Art Smith is currently very, very coveted.   Sharon: Who's your favorite of the modernist jewelers? Who would you say?   Toni: Well, I have two favorites. There are three that are the most important, so let's say three favorites. One is Art Smith, and the reason is because the designs are just brilliant. They really take the body into consideration, negative space into consideration, and they're just spectacularly designed and beautiful to wear. Sam Kramer, the best of his work, the really weird, crazy, surrealist pieces like the one that's on the cover and the back of the Sam Kramer book. Margaret de Patta, who was from the San Francisco Bay area, and she was diametrically opposite to these two because her work was based upon constructivism. She had studied under Moholy-Nagy, the Hungarian constructivist painter, sculptor, photographer. Her work is architectural based upon these eccentrically cut stones. She would be inspired by the rutilations, which are the inclusions within quartz, and she would design her structures around them. I would say those are my three favorites.   Sharon: That's interesting. I wouldn't have thought of Margaret de Patta. I guess I think of her in a different category. I don't know why.   Toni: She's one of the most important modernist jewelers. She founded that whole San Francisco Bay Area MAG, the Metal Arts Guild. She was their guru.    Sharon: When I think of San Francisco at that time, I think of all the jewelry I bought when I was 16 and then I said, “What did I want this for?” Now I see it in the flea markets for 14 times the price I paid for it.   Toni: Right.   Sharon: But who knew. Anyway, Toni, thank you so much. It's been so great to have you. We really learned a lot. It's a real treat. Thank you.   Toni: I had a great time also. Thank you for inviting me. Thank you.   Thank you again for listening. Please leave us a rating and review so we can help others start their own jewelry journey.

Modernist jewelry likely wouldn't have come this far without the work of Toni Greenbaum, an art historian, professor and author of “Messengers of Modernism: American Studio Jewelry, 1940 to 1960.” She joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about the history of modernist jewelry; why it sets the women who wear it apart; and where collectors should start if they want to add modernist pieces to their collections. Read the episode transcript here.   Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is a two-part Jewelry Journey Podcast. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it comes out later this week.    Today my guest is art historian, professor and author Toni Greenbaum. She is the author of the iconic tome, “Messengers of Modernism: American Studio Jewelry, 1940 to 1960,” which analyzes the output of America's modernist jewelers. Most recently, she authored “Sam Kramer: Jeweler on the Edge,” a biography of the jeweler Sam Kramer. Every time I say jeweler I think I'm using the world a little loosely, but we're so glad to have you here today. Thank you so much.   Toni: I am so glad to be here, Sharon. Thank you so much for inviting me. It's been many years coming.   Sharon: I'm glad we connected. Tell me about your jewelry journey. It sounds very interesting.   Toni: Well, there's a lot you don't know about my jewelry journey. My jewelry journey began when I was a preteen. I just became fascinated with Native American, particularly Navajo, jewelry that I would see in museum gift shops. I started to buy it when I was a teenager, what I could afford. In those days, I have to say museum gift shops were fabulous, particularly the Museum of Natural History gift shop, the Brooklyn Museum gift shop. They had a lot of ethnographic material of very high quality. So, I continued to buy Native American jewelry. My mother used to love handcrafted jewelry, and she would buy it in whatever craft shops or galleries she could find.    Then eventually in my 20s and 30s, I got outpriced. Native American jewelry was becoming very, very fashionable, particularly in the late 60s, 1970s. I started to see something that looked, to me, very much like Native American jewelry, but it was signed. It had names on it, and some of them sounded kind of Mexican—in fact, they were Mexican. So, I started to buy Mexican jewelry because I could afford it. Then that became very popular when names like William Spratling and Los Castillo and Hector Aguilar became known. I saw something that looked like Mexican jewelry and Navajo jewelry, but it wasn't; it was made by Americans. In fact, it would come to be known as modernist jewelry. Then I got outpriced with that, but that's the start of my jewelry journey.   Sharon: So, you liked jewelry from when you were a youth.    Toni: Oh, from when I was a child. I was one of these little three, four-year-olds that was all decked out. My mother loved jewelry. I was an only child, and I was, at that time, the only grandchild. My grandparents spoiled me, and my parents spoiled me, and I loved jewelry, so I got a lot of jewelry. That and Frankie Avalon records.   Sharon: Do you still collect modernist? You said you were getting outpriced. You write about it. Do you still collect it?   Toni: Not really. The best of the modernist jewelry is extraordinarily expensive, and unfortunately, I want the best. If I see something when my husband and I are antiquing or at a flea market or at a show that has style and that's affordable, occasionally I'll buy it, but I would not say that I can buy the kind of jewelry I want in the modernist category any longer. I did buy several pieces in the early 1980s from Fifty/50 Gallery, when they were first putting modernist jewelry on the map in the commercial aspect. I was writing about it; they were selling it. They were always and still are. Mark McDonald still is so generous with me as far as getting images and aiding my research immeasurably. Back then, the modernist jewelry was affordable, and luckily I did buy some major pieces for a tenth of what they would get today.   Sharon: Wow! When you say the best of modernist jewelry today, Calder was just astronomical. We'll put that aside.   Toni: Even more astronomical: there's a Harry Bertoia necklace that somebody called my attention to that is coming up at an auction at Christie's. If they don't put that in their jewelry auctions, they'll put it in their design auctions. I think it's coming up at the end of June; I forget the exact day. The estimate on the Harry Bertoia necklace is $200,000 to $300,000—and this is a Harry Bertoia necklace. I'm just chomping at the bit to find out what it, in fact, is going to bring, but that's the estimate they put, at $200,000 to $300,000.   Sharon: That's a lot of money. What holds your interest in modernist jewelry?   Toni: The incredible but very subtle design aspect of it. Actually, tomorrow I'm going to be giving a talk on Art Smith for GemEx. Because my background is art history, one of the things I always do when I talk about these objects is to show how they were inspired by the modern art movements. This is, I think, what sets modernist jewelry apart from other categories of modern and contemporary jewelry. There are many inspirations, but it is that they are very much inspired by Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Biomorphism, etc., depending on the artist. Some are influenced by all of the above, and I think I saw that. I saw it implicitly before I began to analyze it in the jewelry.    This jewelry is extraordinarily well-conceived. A lot of the craftsmanship is not pristine, but I have never been one for pristine craftsmanship. I love rough surfaces, and I love the process to show in the jewelry. Much of the modernist jewelry is irreverent—I use the word irreverent instead of sloppy—as far as the process is concerned. It was that hands-on, very direct approach, in addition to this wonderful design sense, which, again, came from the modern art movements. Most of the jewelers—not all of them, but most of them—lived either in New York or in Northern or Southern California and had access to museums, and these people were aesthetes. They would go to museums. They would see Miro's work; they would see Picasso's work, and they would definitely infuse their designs with that sensibility.   Sharon: Do you think that jumped out at you, the fact that they were inspired by different art movements, because you studied art history? You teach it, or you did teach it at one time?    Toni: No, just history of jewelry. I majored in art history, but I've never taught art history. I've taught history of jewelry. We can argue about whether jewelry is art or not, but history of jewelry is what I've taught.   Sharon: I've taken basic art history, but I couldn't tell you some of the movements you're talking about. I can't identify the different movements. Do you think it jumped out at you because you're knowledgeable?   Toni: Yes, definitely, because I would look at Art Smith and I would say, “That's Biomorphism.” I would see it. It was obvious. I would look at Sam Kramer and I would say, “This is Surrealism.” He was called a surrealist jeweler back in his day, when he was practicing and when he had his shop on 8th Street. I would look at Rebajes and I would see Cubism. Of course, it was because I was well-versed in those movements, because what I was always most interested in when I was studying art history were the more modern movements.   Sharon: Did you think you would segue to jewelry in general? Was that something on your radar?   Toni: That's a very interesting question because when I was in college, I had a nucleus of professors who happened to have come from Cranbrook.   Sharon: I'm sorry, from where?   Toni: Cranbrook School of Art.   Sharon: O.K., Cranbrook.   Toni: I actually took a metalsmithing class as an elective, just to see what it was because I was so interested in jewelry, although I was studying what I call legitimate art history. I was so interested in jewelry that I wanted to see what the process was. I probably was the worst jeweler that ever tried to make jewelry, but I learned what it is to make. I will tell you something else, Sharon, it is what has given me such respect for the jewelers, because when you try to do it yourself and you see how challenging it is, you really respect the people who do it miraculously even more.    So, I took this class just to see what it was, and the teacher—I still remember his name. His name was Cunningham; I don't remember his first name. He was from Cranbrook, and he sent the class to a retail store in New York on 53rd Street, right opposite MOMA, called America House.   Sharon: Called American House?   Toni: America House. America House was the retail enterprise of the American Craft Council. They had the museum, which was then called the Museum of Contemporary Crafts; now it's called MAD, Museum of Arts and Design. They had the museum, and they had a magazine, Craft Horizons, which then became American Craft, and then they had this retail store. I went into America House—and this was the late 1960s—and I knew I had found my calling. I looked at this jewelry, which was really fine studio jewelry. It was done by Ronald Pearson; it was done by Jack Kripp. These were the people that America House carried. I couldn't afford to buy it. I did buy some of the jewelry when they went out of business and had a big sale in the early 1970s. At that time I couldn't, but I looked at the jewelry and the holloware, and I had never seen anything like it. Yes, I had seen Native American that I loved, and I had seen Mexican that I loved. I hadn't yet seen modernist; that wasn't going to come until the early 1980s. But here I saw this second generation of studio jewelers, and I said, “I don't know what I'm going to do with this professionally, but I know I've got to do something with it because this is who I am. This is what I love.”    Back in the late 1960s, it was called applied arts. Anything that was not painting and sculpture was applied art. Ceramics was applied art; furniture was applied art; textiles, jewelry, any kind of metalwork was applied art. Nobody took it seriously as an academic discipline in America, here in this country. Then I went on to graduate school, still in art history. I was specializing in what was then contemporary art, particularly color field painting, but I just loved what was called the crafts, particularly the metalwork. I started to go to the library and research books on jewelry. I found books on jewelry, but they were all published in Europe, mostly England. There were things in other languages other than French, which I could read with a dictionary. There were books on jewelry history, but they were not written in America; everything was in Europe. So, I started to read voraciously about the history of jewelry, mostly the books that came out of the Victoria & Albert Museum. I read all about ancient jewelry and medieval jewelry and Renaissance jewelry. Graham Hughes, who was then the director of the V&A, had written a book, “Modern Jewelry,” and it had jewelry by artists, designed by Picasso and Max Ernst and Brach, including things that were handmade in England and all over Europe. I think even some of the early jewelers in our discipline were in that book. If I remember correctly, I think Friedrich Becker, for example, might have been in Graham Hughes' “Modern Jewelry,” because that was published, I believe, in the late 1960s.    So, I saw there was a literature in studio jewelry; it just wasn't in America. Then I found a book on William Spratling, this Mexican jeweler whose work I had collected. It was not a book about his jewelry; it was an autobiography about himself that obviously he had written, but it was so rich in talking about the metalsmithing community in Taxco, Mexico, which is where he, as an American, went to study the colonial architecture. He wound up staying and renovating the silver mines that had been dormant since the 18th century. It was such a great story, and I said, “There's something here,” but no graduate advisor at that time, in the early 70s, was going to support you in wanting to do a thesis on applied art, no matter what the medium. But in the back of my mind, I always said, “I'm going to do something with this at some point.”    Honestly, Sharon, I never thought I would live to see the day that this discipline is as rich as it is, with so much literature, with our publishers publishing all of these fantastic jewelry books, and other publishers, like Flammarion in Paris, which published “Messengers of Modernism.” Then there's the interest in Montreal at the Museum of Fine Arts, which is the museum that has the “Messengers of Modernism” collection. It has filtered into the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Dallas, obviously MAD. So many museums are welcoming. I never thought I would live to see the day. It really is so heartening. I don't have words to express how important this is, but I just started to do it. In the early 1970s or mid-1970s—I don't think my daughter was born yet. My son was a toddler. I would sit in my free moments and write an article about William Spratling, because he was American. He went to Mexico, but he was American. He was the only American I knew of that I could write about. Not that that article was published at that time, but I was doing the research and I was writing it.   Sharon: That's interesting. If there had been a discipline of jewelry history or something in the applied arts, if an advisor had said, “Yes, I'll support you,” or “Why don't you go ahead and get your doctorate or your master's,” that's something you would have done?   Toni: Totally, without even a thought, yes. Because when I was studying art history, I would look at Hans Holbein's paintings of Henry VIII and Sir Thomas More, and all I would do was look at the jewelry they were wearing, the chains and the badges on their berets. I said, “Oh my god, that is so spectacular.” Then I learned that Holbein actually designed the jewelry, which a lot of people don't know. I said, “There is something to this.” I would look at 18th century paintings with women, with their pearls and rings and bracelets, and all I would do was look at the jewelry. I would have in a heartbeat. If I could have had a graduate advisor, I would have definitely pursued that.   Sharon: When you say you never thought you'd live to see the day when modernist jewelry is so popular—not that it's so surprising, but you are one of the leaders of the movement. When I mentioned to somebody, “Oh, I like modernist jewelry,” the first thing they said was, “Well, have you read ‘Messengers of Modernism?'” As soon as I came home—I was on a trip—I got it. So, you are one of the leaders.   Toni: Well, it is interesting. It is sort of the standard text, but people will say, “Well, why isn't Claire Falkenstein in the book? She's so important,” and I say, “It's looked upon as a standard text, but the fact is it's a catalogue to an exhibition. That was the collection.” Fifty/50 Gallery had a private collection. As I said before, they were at the forefront of promoting and selling modernist jewelry, but they did have a private collection. That collection went to Montreal in the 1990s because at that time, there wasn't an American museum that was interested in taking that collection. That book is the catalogue of that finite collection. So, there are people who are major modernist jewelers—Claire Falkenstein is one that comes to mind—that are not in that collection, so they're not in the book. There's a lot more to be said and written about that movement.   Sharon: I'm sure you've been asked this a million times: What's the difference between modern and modernist jewelry?   Toni: Modern is something that's up to date at a point in time, but modernist jewelry is—this is a word we adopted. The word existed, but we adopted it to define the mid-20th century studio jewelry, the post-war jewelry. It really goes from 1940 to the 1960s. That's it; that's the time limit of modernist jewelry. Again, it's a word we appropriated. We took that word and said, “We're going to call this category modernist jewelry because we have to call it something, so that's the term.” Modern means up to date. That's just a general word.   Sharon: When you go to a show and see things that are in the modernist style, it's not truly modernist if it was done today, it wasn't done before 1960.   Toni: Right, no. Modernist jewelry is work that's done in that particular timeframe and that also subscribes to what I was saying, this appropriation of motifs from the modern art movement. There was plenty of costume jewelry and fine jewelry being done post-war, and that is jewelry that is mid-20th century. You can call it mid-20th century modern, which confuses the issue even more, but it's not modernist jewelry. Modernist jewelry is jewelry that was done in the studio by a silversmith and was inspired by the great movements in modern art and some other inspirations. Art Smith was extremely motivated by African motifs, but also by Calder and by Biomorphism. It's not religious. There are certainly gray areas, but in general, that's modernist jewelry.    Sharon: I feel envious when you talk about everything that was going in on New York. I have a passion, but there's no place on the West Coast that I would go to look at some of this stuff.   Toni: I'll tell you one of the ironies, Sharon. Post-war, definitely through the 1950s and early 1960s, there must have been 13 to 15 studio shops by modernist jewelers. You had Sam Kramer on 8th Street and Art Smith on 4th Street and Polo Bell, who was on 4th Street and then he was on 8th Street, and Bill Tendler, and you had Jules Brenner, and Henry Steig was Uptown. Ed Wiener was all over the place. There were so many jewelers in New York, and I never knew about them. I never went to any of their shops. I used to hang out in the Village when I was a young teenager, walked on 4th Street; never saw Art Smith's shop. He was there from 1949 until 1977. I used to walk on 8th Street, and Sam Kramer was on the second floor. I never looked up, and I didn't know this kind of jewelry existed. In those days, like I said, I was still collecting Navajo.

Episode 5:  Beth Thielen - Love and Freedom  Bookmakers at San Quentin. Not surprising, given "Q's" clientele. But no, we're talking about real books with real pages that are awe-inspiring works of art.  Transcript Bill Cleveland: At the time, what came to be known as the classic or a version 1.0 was considered a modern marvel. After a short wait for what was called booting up, and a few clicks, the text seemed to appear magically on a ten by twelve screens set into a plastic computer case. Eventually, the white on black text gave way to a gloriously glowing black on white. Moving through the text was accomplished using a small, palm-sized oblong disk that was endearingly called a mouse. Unfortunately, the computer was quite heavy and wired, so reading was typically a one person, one stationary screen affair. Then, the "two point oh" model with names like Kindle and Nook changed everything. It still had a screen and needed juice, but the wires were gone, and it was small and thin and light enough to take anywhere without a hassle. Going through text with the push of a button or flick of a finger on the screen made reading almost fun. There were a few downsides, though. After you paid for the machine, you still had to fork over for whatever it was you wanted to read. The thing also needed charging, and eventually, they would quit working from being dropped or just wearing out, which meant you lost whatever you were reading, which wasn't that big a deal because you actually never really owned it.   But today, with the advent of the extraordinary Codex 3.0, also known as, "a book," all that came before seems quaint. This new text delivery system has so taken the world by storm, seven in ten humans now consider reading their number one favorite personal activity. While retaining the handiness and readability of its predecessors, this new model is both less expensive and far more versatile. This is due, in part, to the fact that after you purchase it, you actually own it, which means these books can be gifted or shared or even sold. There is speculation that eventually books will be collected in repositories that some are already calling libraries and could actually increase in value over time. But the most delightful features of these clever little packages of text are embodied in their design. Now, depending on their size, which is varied, they can fit neatly in your hands or lap for easy reading. They're ingenious cover, and page feature allows you to open, feel, and manipulate the enclosed paper sheets in sequence from front to back, the reverse, or even randomly. This is called browsing. If you want to remember where you left off, you can use what is called a bookmark or even bend the corner of those little pages. It's your choice. Another improvement is its sturdiness. You can drop it, sit on it, even step on it. And it will still function like it was new. And best of all, there are no batteries, no wires, and no moving parts. Finally, each book comes with a multigenerational lifetime guarantee that stipulates that with reasonable care and handling, each book will be fully functional for hundreds, if not thousands of years.  Bill Cleveland:  Excerpted from the "Modern Marvels of the Post Pandemian Epoch" by William T. William, 2047 A.D., also referred to as 26 P. P. E.  Bill Cleveland: From the Center for the Study of Art and Community, this is Change the Story Change the World. I'm Bill Cleveland. Bill Cleveland:  Long before the advent of Books, Inc., Amazon, and the Kindle, the making of books was considered a vital and essential art form. Over many millennia, the connections forged between humans and their books were seen as both fundamental to human progress, and as sacred and dynamic relationships. Given this, if I were to add yet one more evolved stage to the oddly imagined Future Books saga I just shared, it would be embodied in both this venerable history and in... Support this podcast

Got a special occasion that you want to celebrate or need a special gift you want to send to someone? Try TOCA TO GO! With just a few clicks, we will send a performer to your home, place of work or to their email inbox. Laura Ellis is one of the performers you can hire. A singer, actress, and recording artist, Laura Ellis is known for her beautiful voice, her vintage vocal styling, and her sparkling stage presence Laura performs across country in her touring productions. With her retro jazz flair, she has graced cabaret and concert stages including the famed Jazz Alley in Seattle, Feinstein’s at the Nikko in San Francisco, and the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Vista, CA. Her broadcast credits include History Channel’s Route 66 and Modern Marvels documentaries, the HBO Carnivale series, and ABC’s Modern Family.

Her most recent recording, Broken, Lovely, was in consideration for a Best Vocal Jazz Grammy in 2016. Additional performers who are a part of TOCA To Go are: Janet Klein Janet is the very definition of an “old soul”. Growing up in a region of Southern California where the last vestiges of the “California Dream” were still barely in tact as strip malls proliferated, she linked historical images she’d seen of early turn-of-the century postcards with bungalows along palm lined streets, orange groves, grand Mission style hotels & onion-domed libraries- the way things were got into her blood, and today she’s the most refreshing anachronism to every materialize from the ether of the Prohibition. Klein doesn’t merely perform songs from “ lost America” –she actually lives them, and transports her audiences along the way. Klein considers herself a “musical archeologist and treasure hunter” digging up compositions by the likes of Wilton Crawley and A.P. Randolf and Robert Cloud, songs of the Victrola and lost Vitaphone films. She and her LA based band the Parlor Boys authentically resuscitate early jazz of the 1920s and 1930s with wild spirit, vigor and grand skill.

Markel. *Professor Paul*Hello and welcome back to... I almost said the other the name of my other show, but welcome back to Morning Mindset. Yes, I need to remind myself. I need to get myself in a Morning Mindset type of mood before I hit record on the digital recording software that we use here in our studio. Alright, today I'm going to share something personal with you. You're welcome. A lot of people I would say most people probably have a song or a group of songs a playlist that defines their time in high school or their time as a young person.-I have actually several songs. There are several songs that if they come on the radio or if I find them on my phone or a search for them deliberately that I can be transported right there. Right back to where I was at that time when I was listening to it, and one of those songs is Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven and if you're an old codger like me, you're like, "Duh, that's everybody song." But if you're a young crumb crunching Millennial, you're like what that old classic rock song from that old band Led Zeppelin. Yeah, now the reason that I mean other than the obvious that the fact that it is a monster ballad, why Stairway to Heaven means something to me.-That's because when I went to high school in Detroit, I started high school at the time. It was the early 1980s and if you know anything about music history Stairway to Heaven was released in the late 70s, it became a monster hit and the DJ's that DJ'd is high school dances. That song was chosen to be the final dance of the Night song and I don't know how long they had been doing it before I went to high school there and I don't know how long they continue to do it after I was gone. But while I was there Stairway to Heaven and it’s a long song was the that was the signal that this is the last dance of the night. Now in modern times, people would be like, oh that's a stupid song and, you know, dance to that and the fact of the matter is it wasn't really it was a slow song but it wasn't a slow song.- It was a slow song that got faster didn't matter. It didn't matter. Now. The reason that that song means so much to me. Is I recall the Freshman mixer if you guys don't know what a mixer is. This is something that they used to do in the old days before the Advent of Facebook and Snapchat and Instagram and all of these Modern Marvels they wanted. Freshman to get to know each other and to get comfortable with their new school because why because well the fact is the majority of the people that were at the high school didn't go to elementary school or junior high together.-Now I know many areas of the country, you know, you go to elementary school with the same group of kids and then you go to Junior High with the same group of kids and you go to high school with the same group of kids and you know each other from kindergarten through graduation, but when I was going we had a lot of small parochial elementary schools all over the Greater Detroit area, and then we had just a couple handful of high schools, and so all these small parochial Elementary and that basically they went K-8 schools.-You would all get together in this one school and you only knew maybe 20 or 30 people when you actually started your freshman year. So they would have this thing called a freshman mixer and it was a dance and it was only for freshmen because they didn't want the freshmen to be overwhelmed or intimidated by the upperclassmen. Now the people who put it together in addition to teachers obviously was the student council the freshman, sophomore, junior, senior student council members. They put it together, they organized it in all that, and I remember during the Freshman mixer, asking two senior girls. I know I was 14, I asked two senior girls not the same time separately. To dance. and they both did and it was like I was dancing with angels.-I was so far out of my league, but you know what? They said. Yes, they danced with me out there on the gymnasium floor in our socks because you weren't allowed to wear Street shoes on the gym floor, and their names were Janice McPhee and Patty Duffer. He says wow, Paul. How long ago is that Ben? It's been a while take today's date and go back to the fall of 1981, and that's how long it's been. Why do I remember them and why do we remember that dancing water? Remember that because ladies and gentlemen, they were kind. To me every freshman every 13, 14, 15-year-old doesn't matter whether you're a boy or girl. You're self-conscious. You're awkward and I was no different but even though I was an awkward skinny 14-year-old freshman.-These senior girls. Do you guys remember that? Can you can you recall when you were 13 or 14 or even 15 years old looking at the seniors a high school seniors and they just seem so old and wise and mature and so far out of your league, even though today it's funny because if you look at someone that's three or four years older and you're like, yeah, whatever no big deal but back then, you know when you're that young. But those two girls and they're obviously grown women now, but they were kind to me, and I remember that kindness all these years later now kindness doesn't always have to be about just niceness or being you know, smiling and you know false niceness sometimes kindness can just be Honesty.-When I was in infantry school, and I was in the Infantry School in the Marine Corps the sergeant who was in charge of my assault section and I was in assault man so we had an assault section the sergeant who was in charge was a salty infantry marine and he took the time and I talked about him before his name was Fred Sizemore sergeant. He took the time not only to teach us what he was supposed to teach us what it said in the, you know, but he also had the 3-ring binder that said teach these kids this these are the subjects you need to cover. These are the tests. You need to give this is what you have to do according to the rules. He did more than that, and he was honest with us. He told us he said there's the way they say things are, and there's the way things really are in the Infantry in the Marine Corps.-He told us that the Marine Corps you as you might think it's big. It's a large organization. He said but the Marine Corps is a small organization in the global scheme of things and the Infantry is even smaller. He said you might think that you can screw someone over here and you'll never see them again. I said but you will be said or you could treat someone right and do the right thing because then you'll end up in a unit with them a year or two or so from now and you'll already have a relationship established with them the moment you arrived, and Fred Sizemore was absolutely right everywhere. I went in the Marine Corps every base.-I checked into or checked on to every unit I was a part of, I ended up at some point in time running into or being stationed with people, Marines, infantrymen that I had known previously. Now Sergeant Sizemore did not, he would not fit the I guess the general textbook description of kind or kindness, but he was kind to us because he was honest with us and he told us exactly what we could expect out of our new lives out of our lives as Marine Corps infantrymen, and I remember that. I remember that to this day. I remember his name and I remember how he treated us because of the staying power of kindness often. We remember and we dwell on those who have wronged us. It's human nature.-Everyone does it I do it you do we all do it. But what we should be doing is we should be dwelling on we should be remembering we should be thinking fondly of. Those who have treated us with kindness. Now those people that I just mentioned here, they probably didn't think anything of it. They probably, those wonderful young women who were kind enough to dance with an awkward freshman. They probably don't sit at home thinking about that dance or about that freshman they danced with.-Sergeant Sizemore probably had hundreds, if not thousands of young Privates and PFCs go through his school there were in his in the assault section while he was stationed with the school of the Infantry there on Camp Geiger. He probably doesn't remember me as an individual. But that's okay cuz I remember them remember them all. Things that you do that you don't think anything about May resonate with others. If you are honest, if you are kind if you are considerate to other people you have no idea that could resonate with them and stick with them for years and years. There is a definite staying power to kindness. So give it a try. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I am your host Paul Markel and I will talk to you again real soon.

In this episode, Bo Bennett interviews author Marshall Brain about his book, "How 'God' Works: A Logical Inquiry on Faith". From the book description: "Does God exist? Using an intellectually rigorous, scientific approach, Marshall Brain—the founder of HowStuffWorks.com and author of the How Stuff Works series—sets out to resolve the eternal debate once and for all. With a compelling sense of curiosity, he breaks down mankind's search for a higher power, tackling such quandaries as: Who is God? What are his attributes? What is God doing and why? How does God interact with humanity? And ultimately, how can humans know with certainty whether God is real or imaginary? 'How God Works' is an enlightening journey in critical thinking that challenges readers to boldly approach the subject of personal faith and put aside intuition in favor of objectivity and logic." Marshall Brain is best known as the founder of HowStuffWorks.com, and is the bestselling author of the How Stuff Works book series. He has appeared on Oprah, Dr. Oz, Good Morning America, CNN, Modern Marvels, and in many other media outlets to apply his signature approach to unraveling the mysteries of life. He is also the host of the National Geographic Channel's "Factory Floor with Marshall Brain". He lives in Cary, North Carolina.
