Tasering of the Christ, Pen & Ink, 14″ x 17″, 2010

JA: If Christ were alive today, New World Order minions would be dragging him through the street on their way to another crucifixion- just as they did two thousand years ago. But there is also a grander proverbial meaning here in which the New World Order and it’s legion of mindless subservient drones look to squash any form of righteousness or truth from those that dare question their totalitarian march of pestilence and decay.


 

Elana the Constitutional Reaping Kagan, Pen & Ink, 6″ x 6″, 2010

JA: Elana Kagan sucks, need I say more? We will be stuck with her and her shitty freedom hating, totalitarian obsessed monoculture foolishness for the next two to three decades.


Tiny Tim the Blood Sucking Gollum Giethner, Pen & Ink, 6″ x 6″, 2010

JA: With this illustration I was really trying to capture the true vileness that lurks behind the elf-like facade of our esteemed Treasury Secretary, Tim Giethner. Why pay your taxes when he can arrogantly self proclaim himself to be the hero who has negligently slapped a band aid on the hemorrhaging wound of our fiat, bullshit economy? All the while he and his cronies feverishly suck the life blood out of whats left in a limp, blue, stinking corpse!


Portrait of Alex Jones, Red & Black ball point pen, 14″x17″, 2008

This is a drawing I did of Alex Jones. I have lost friends over my beliefs, over my awakening, over my quest for finding the often ugly truth, and Alex Jones has been instrumental in my paradigm shift. I am a big supporter of Alex and I have been very fortunate to have met him a couple of times in NYC. On one occasion I saw a small group of people in front of the main WTC subway entrance. As I walked closer, I could hear the echo of a mega phone. There he was, bullhoring several paramilitary drones head to toe in kevlar while yielding automatic weapons. Our brave public servants, peace officers, adorned in their protective gear…hell, the kevlar had kevlar.

Alex was pleading with them to research Operation Northwoods and to not serve the system, to think for themselves. He passionately spoke in rapid fire motion as the sweat poured from his vein swelling brow. The cops merely stood there stoically with shit eating grins, dark shades, and twitching trigger fingers. At any moment you felt like one of them could literally just start spraying people with led while cackling wildly with glee.

Jones took a moment for a breather as I introduced myself to him. Still pumping full of adrenaline as he glanced up at the Fuji surveillance blimp and sincerely replied, “It’s good meeting you buddy, I will try harder. I will try to do a better job.” I asked him if there was anything I could do and began filming as I stood in front of the goon squad toe to toe. “Ask them about Operation Northwoods. You’re on film guys, you’re going to be in a movie boys,” he said gleefully as I looked at them with dread as their weapons reflected the dull glare of black patina.

I looked at them, I looked at Jones, and then I looked at them again. My fears shed away, and I thought, “Screw it, I am more nervous about looking like yuppie scum to Jones than I am of getting shot by the NYPD, which never ever happens in New York City.” I cleared my voice, and proclaimed loudly in a broken cracking tone like a boy hitting puberty, “Have any of you heard of Operation Northwoods?”

I made my way up Church Street as he walked north on the opposite side of the street. He glanced over as the sun descended into dusk over the Hudson River, I raised my fist and shouted as loudly as I could, “Fight the New World Order!” He nodded slightly, tapped his camera man to motion that he missed a great shot for one of his documentaries, but for just a moment I could tell that all of us fortunate enough to be aware of this spiritual battle are going to defeat tyranny with god by our sides.

 


Jon Allen’s art stems from a genuine love to draw and write along with an inherent curiosity of nature, love, and politics. Jon Allen’s fascinating and hyperbolic drawings and caricatures are accumulations of the past thirteen years of generating ideas, frustration, and his quest for peace through his persistent, unadulterated examination of the beautiful and bizarre world we inhabit.
