Obama and Soviet Agitprop: A Handshake Across Time and Space

Obama's recent photo ops in Denver resulted in some curious images. One of them is a surreal bundle of human hands trying to reach Obama. That reminded me of a bizarre Soviet propaganda poster with a collage of outstretched hands and the slogan saying "We will meet the plan of glorious projects!"

So I combined them in a new collage - and suddenly it all came together: many years later, in far-away America, the glorious plan is coming to life.



The one below is probably the most symbolic piece I have ever done: "A handshake across time and space."



I added some text in Russian too: "A handshake across time and space" and "You're with us, comrade!"

When you think about it, what other role model do these people have? They only thing they have left (no pun intended) is people remaining fashionably ignorant, and rooting for their 'team' as if this was a sporting event.
 

 

 

Thank you, Red Square, for your contribution combining your experience with what we are seeing today. Another perfect match.
 

 

There's something about these images that makes me never want to have human contact again...

That said, can we please leave cargo cults out of this... They have offered many gifts to the pod since our escape, including our arsenal, and as many of the old guard know, my missing pictures are sleeping on my cargo-cult site (which I promise to get up again soon... I promise... stop collectively rolling your eyes... they'll stick like that!... I'm just waiting for the new computer, which shouldn't be too much longer, before I start paying for someone to host the site again... no use wasting money until I actually have the tools to manage it)...

I'm going to take a long bath now. I feel dirty. Sorry Boss... there's just something creepy about them. Maybe all those fingers.

All those hands reaching out to Obama remind me of that hideous Romulan spaceship in the last Star Trek movie. The Romulans seemed to be on a mission eerily similar to Obama's--distributing nasty red matter to destroy lives and societies and civilizations, and make everything disappear into a black hole.
 

 

Speaking of handshakes across time and space, I came across this physics-defying high-five in an image search:

 

As long as one oppressor exists the Peoples fight will never be over!




COMRADES!



 

The Blaze claims that Obama's new campaign slogan's typeface is inspired by Cuban propaganda, and backs it up with Cuban and Soviet posters.

But I think Obama is rather subliminally alluding to the 1950s style because it's associated with security, prosperity, and confidence - all the things he is trying to destroy in real life.

In fact, it's Romney who should go for the retro 1950s theme - he actually looks the part. But then he'll be labeled as "square." And when Obama does it, it's "way cool" and "innovative." See his smug face for reference.
