HenryMakow.com – July 21, 2026

A film based on a Victorian novel about the depredations of a Jewish stock promoter is a reminder that art used to be relevant and true.   

Art today has been kneecapped by political correctness which is Communist Jewish (Satanist) indoctrination. The Commie Jews call this “agitprop.”

The role of art is to uplift society by educating and inspiring.

No less than sex, greed has been used to subvert us.
