    Mexican paintings coming to Istanbul’s Pera Museum

    ISTANBUL – Hürriyet Daily News

    The exhibition will include 40 works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.

    The Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Pera Museum will exhibit selected works of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, two of Mexico’s greatest artistic exports over the 20th century, for a show starting Dec. 23.

    The event is the first time the paintings of Kahlo and Rivera will be displayed in Turkey.

    The 40 pieces from the collection of Jacques and Natasha Gelman, which are officially recognized as part of Mexico’s cultural heritage, are rarely exhibited outside the country. The exhibition, curated by Professor Helga Prignitz-Poda, will run until March 20, 2011.

    Married to Rivera, Kahlo’s work is remembered for its “pain and passion,” and its intense, vibrant colors. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition and by feminists for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. Mexican culture and Amerindian cultural tradition figure prominently in her work, which has sometimes been characterized as naive art or folk art. Her work has also been described as “surrealist.”

    Rivera’s large wall works in fresco helped establish the Mexican mural renaissance. Between 1922 and 1953, Rivera painted murals among others in Mexico City, Chapingo, Cuernavaca, San Francisco, Detroit, and New York City. In 1931, a retrospective exhibition of his works was held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

    Both Istanbul and Mexico City have been sister cities…

    Mr. Kadir Topbaş, the mayor of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and attended in Mexico City for United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and Mr. Marcelo Ebrard, the mayor of Mexico City, signed the sister-city protocol between Istanbul and Mexico City.

    mcMr. Kadir Topbaş, the mayor of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and attended in Mexico City for United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) and Mr. Marcelo Ebrard, the mayor of Mexico City, signed the sister-city protocol between Istanbul and Mexico City.

    Mr. Kadir Topbaş, the mayor of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and also attended in Mexico City for United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) for the 2010-2013 term at a meeting on Saturday in Mexico City, met with Mr. Marcelo Ebrard, the mayor of Mexico City at the Municipal Palace.

    Mr. Marcelo Ebrard began his speech by expressing his satisfaction in hosting Mr. Kadir Topbaş, the mayor of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. Mayor Mr. Topbaş stated that the strengthening the relations among cities was being important and wished that the sister-city agreement would lead to concrete collaborations in the future.

    After the meeting held at the Municipal Palace in Mexico City, both Mr. Topbaş and Mr. Ebrard passed along the hall to sign up the sister-city agreement. Mr. Hüseyin Tanrıverdi, the Deputy Chairman of AK Party in charge of Decision and Administration Committee, Mr. Alev Kılıç, the Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey in Mexico City have attended the sister city cooperation signing ceremony held at the Municipal Palace. After making a brief speech here, Mr. Topbaş noted that the inter-city relations of world cities have strengthened the ties of friendship and understanding between the people and cities and made a positive contribution to the solution of international problems.

    After the speeches were delivered, the sister-city protocol between Istanbul and Mexico City was signed by both mayors in front of the invitees. About forty mayors who came from Turkey for the United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) Congress also attended at the signing ceremony in Mexico City.

    Swine Flu as Biological Warfare Weapon?

    Do you think that the H1N1 strain of swine flu is likely to be a CREATED weapon of mass infection? Consider the logistics involved in order for this virus to have combined itself the way it has. From an article on NAtural News….

    (NaturalNews) Perhaps due to the genetic makeup of the fast-spreading H1N1 strain of influenza — which includes genetic elements from bird flu, swine flu and human flu spanning three continents — there is considerable speculation that the origins of this virus are man-made……..

    Is there any hard evidence of laboratory origins?

    As of this moment, I have not personally seen any conclusive evidence of laboratory origins for this H1N1 swine flu. I am open to the possibility that new evidence may emerge in this direction, however, and I am suspicious of the genetic makeup of the virus as one possible indicator of its origins.

    I am not a medical specialist in the area of infectious disease, but I have studied microbiology, genetics and a considerable amount of material on pandemics. What seems suspicious to me is the hybrid origin of the viral fragments found in H1N1 influenza. According to reports in the mainstream media (which has no reason to lie about this particular detail), this strain of influenza contains viral code fragments from:

    • Human influenza
    • Bird Flu from North America
    • Swine flu from Europe
    • Swine flu from Asia

    This is rather astonishing to realize, because for this to have been a natural combination of viral fragments, it means an infected bird from North America would have had to infect pigs in Europe, then be re-infected by those some pigs with an unlikely cross-species mutation that allowed the bird to carry it again, then that bird would have had to fly to Asia and infected pigs there, and those Asian pigs then mutated the virus once again (while preserving the European swine and bird flu elements) to become human transmittable, and then a human would have had to catch that virus from the Asian pigs — in Mexico! — and spread it to others. (This isn’t the only explanation of how it could have happened, but it is one scenario that gives you an idea of the complexity of such a thing happening).

    A news report on the alternative media website “InfoWars” says the following…

    During the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) Summit in Montebello, Canada in 2005, the “three amigos” (Bush, Harper and Calderon) released “North American Plan for Avian and Pandemic Influenza,” described as a “collaborative North American approach that recognizes that controlling the spread of avian influenza or a novel strain of human influenza, with minimal economic disruption, is in the best interest of all three countries.” The plan outlines how “Canada, Mexico and the United States intend to work together to prepare for and manage avian and pandemic influenza.”….

    On Monday, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon stoked the fear of a global flu pandemic. He said the Mexican flu outbreak is the “first test” of the “pandemic preparedness work undertaken by the international community over the past three years.” Ban Ki-moon said if “we are indeed facing a pandemic, we need to demonstrate global solidarity. In our interconnected world, no nation can deal with threats of such dimension on its own.”

    For Ki-moon and the global elite, “global solidarity” in “our interconnected world” translates into yet another push for world government. Ki-moon’s dire warning falls on the heels of the G20 summit where plans were announced for implementing the creation of a new global currency to replace the U.S. dollar’s role as the world reserve currency. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and others repeatedly called for “global governance” and a “New World Order.”

     

    If this is your first introduction to the idea that our governements could be so devious, take a deep breath, and just consider that all is NEVER what it seems. Granted InfoWars reporting tends to be a little on the outside of extreme sometimes, but I do believe that there is a distinct probability that away from the option of one world government control (and all that) … that this is just a simple biological warfare weapons test. Well not all that simple, however, it is a fairly well known fact that governments the world over are testing out new strains of viruses and bacterium.

    I am also going to encourage you to compare how this virus is behaving when held up to typical flu pandemics.

    If you don’t think that governments would intentionally spray or test anything on humans then think again. You really need to watch this YouTube video on ChemTrails – It may not convince you but it should get you thinking. OK I know only wierdos talk about chem trails but this is a news story with real laboratory confirmed testing of what falls. It’s a very short clip worth watching.

    What do you think? Have you considered the possibility that certain world governments are using Mexico (and the world) as their own personal petri dish for the swine flu?
