It re-establishes the tradition of social and Cultural Commentary in the Fine Arts.

The central animal figure represents the Chinese Communist terrorism against it's own peaceful citizens. In the words of Nobel Winner Lech Walesa, "When Chinese communism falls down, the bodies will come to light, Millions of them, just like Stalin in Russia."

This government requires external and internal enemies in order to function. Today, the internal enemy policy is focused on the Falun Dafa Group of cultivation and meditation. A perversion of State power, it is completely meritless, ludicrous and deadly.

The required external enemy is the West. More specifically, the United States. Yet, Loral, AOL, Nortel and News Corp. have bowed to the power of Communist money. Sadly, many more Western corporations are lining up for this "opportunity" without regard for ethical and patriotic considerations. This attitude has a history of Death, i.e., German exportation of biological and nerve agents to Iraq and Al Queda.

The II in the Title, represents the 2nd time the Olympic Committee has chosen a totalitarian government to host the Olympic Games. The First was in Hitler's Germany. Proof positive that, "Those who stand for nothing, fall for anything."

Some Explanation of the Painting, "Dark Circus II"

Rev. Kenneth Brooks, Ph.D., the Artist

• The Red Circus ring = the Wall that the government wants to keep the information behind.
• The Dragon = The perverted power of the State.
• The officer to the right = Communist police
• The sitting figures = Meditations
• The background of central figure forms a skull with horns = Evil
• The figure with the strange hat is an artistic connection to Piccasso and his painting "Guernica" which portrayed the Nazi destruction of a Spanish Village so they could test their new weapons.
• The II in the title represents the second time the Olympic committee has awarded the games to a totalitarian country.
• The two dimly lit heads coming out of the upper background are those persons in power who do not want the light of world opinion to shine on them. The Seal with the ball on his nose and a medal around the neck also points toward that decision.
• Added are the other comments given at the opening of the exhibit.
