Trump has named #PaoloZampolli, the man who introduced him to #Melania who also moved in #JefferyEpstein’s world & ran a charity with #GhislaineMaxwell in addition to being buds with infamous #Tether co-founder, friend of #SteveBannon, & former co-owner of maybe the most infamous and well publicized pedophile ring in Los Angeles history, #BrockPierce, to be America's “Special Envoy For Global Partnerships”.

A lot of people think Brock PIerce is basically “the gay #Epstein”. He certainly has the track record for it - history of involvement with pedophile rings, deep connections to #Israel (and maybe Russia - he’s besties with the people behind the #CambridgeAnalytica scandal), the whole works.

#Zampolli was also involved in a "cash for passports" scandal when he was an ambassador in the crypto #moneylaundering haven of #Dominica, a #Caribbean island which now counts #JustinSun's #TRX token as legal tender.

Some people described the SpaceX Starship explosion yesterday as a stunning view, but the powers-that-be aren’t speaking out and highlighting the devastating effect that the debris will have on marine life in the Caribbean Sea.

Street Scene Historic Camagüey Cuba

On the last day of our trip in Cuba we were exploring the Historic Centre of Camagüey Cuba.

One of the first seven villages founded by the Spaniards in Cuba, Camagüey played a prominent role as the urban center of an inland territory dedicated to cattle breeding and the sugar industry.

Street Scene Historic Camagüey Cuba On the last day of our trip in Cuba we were exploring the Historic Centre of Camagüey Cuba. Here is some information for you. One of the first seven villages founded by the Spaniards in Cuba, Camagüey played a prominent role as the urban centre of an inland territory dedicated to cattle breeding and the sugar industry. Settled in its current location in 1528, the town developed on the basis of an irregular urban pattern that contains a system of large and minor squares, serpentine streets, alleys and irregular urban blocks, highly exceptional for Latin American colonial towns located in plain territories. The 54 ha Historic Centre of Camagüey constitutes an exceptional example of a traditional urban settlement relatively isolated from main trade routes. The Spanish colonizers followed medieval European influences in terms of urban layout and traditional construction techniques brought to the Americas by their masons and construction masters. The property reflects the influence of numerous styles through the ages: neoclassical, eclectic, Art Deco, Neo-colonial as well as some Art Nouveau and rationalism.

Françoise Vaal mixed media art
While traveling through the Caribbean I found these gorgeous murals all over the islands. A lot of them depicting nature but also portraits of indigenous people.⁠
I wrote a short blog about the influence of nature (2d or 3D) on people living in cities. Check it out on my web site Vaalnature.art "Nature on concrete: the calming power of Caribbean street art".⁠
⁠
We need more of this great street art, that's for sure!⁠

The chameleon I found in Orient Bay, St Martin. The portrait and frigatebird were spotted in Marigot, St. Martin.⁠

“So what to conclude? But precisely, should we conclude? Let’s not conclude. Let’s dream instead, imagine. The history of the world is not over. Already enlightened minds predict the death of the West. A day will come when... men will remember that they are brothers and will be more tolerant... That time will come. We must believe in it.”

— Maryse Condé, “one of the French Caribbean’s most beloved voices” and a critic of colonial and postcolonial discourses, born on Feb. 11, 1934
