Introduction
Hello Steemit Community,
My name is Patrick Bedont Jr. and I just want to start by saying that the United States we live in today is not the country that the Founding Fathers envisioned. It is far from it, actually. To highlight this fact, I have been working vigorously on various projects promoting the rich history of the United States of America. Primarily by focusing on its past Presidents. Before I begin posting blogs and what have you, I am simply asking for you to check out my Art Projects I deemed the name ‘Presidential Pareidolia’ or ‘Prezidolia’, as well as ‘Presidential Quotes’ or ‘PresidentialQs’.
‘Presidential Pareidolia’ is a project I started at the beginning of 2017 in which I took the Official Portraits of America’s past Presidents and made them symmetrical before replacing all of the pixels in said pictures with Adobe Photoshop’s ‘Replace Pixel’ tool. However, I realized that some depicted faces and others had multitudes of eyes. Making it appear as though the pictures were gazing into one’s soul. I originally started doing this process with random pictures of nature I took on my cellphone for promotional purposes for my novel series ‘The Last Mutineers’, which you can check out at http://www.thelastmutineers.com
With this experience in tow, I knew I had to use this new art form for the betterment of my species. More particularly, my country. A country that was once founded on the premise of Liberty and Justice clearly resembles anything but in today’s world. The only thing I could think of that would make any sense was to take the speeches and literary works of this great country’s past Presidents and add them with the pixelized pictures in posts on the various Social Media sites. I then created .GIFs of each transformation and posted it in line with the pixelized Presidents to show people exactly how we all came to be.

‘Presidential Quotes’ is a project I started in the Summer of 2018 in which I simply found painted pictures of America’s past Presidents and edited the color channels to remove the over-saturation and other various maladies that occur when one snaps a photograph and digitizes it. I then found various works from the Presidents and put them around the Presidents themselves in Adobe Photoshop. All while adding snippets of other text from the documents as the posts themselves. Along with the hyperlink to the source. Ensuring one has the proper means to educate themselves further with the resources given to all of us during this wondrous time of human evolution.

I hope you enjoy my work. It has taken much time and has been very enlightening. Hopefully it can enlighten you as well and spark a deeper interest in America's history. If not history in general. Because those who forget history, or fail to learn it, are doomed to repeat it.
Even so, it has become quite evident in today's world that that is the case. Those controlling the world are the ones responsible for infiltrating the many nations' education systems and dumbing down the citizens. Effectively triggering such damning plights for all of mankind. Now, they should all be held accountable for their actions in the strictest regard. Lest we invite the same plights by similar perpetrators in the future.
If we do not act now and restore our freedoms from such tyrannical oppressors, when will we?
The time to act is now. We just need to get everyone on the same page before doing so. With their mass brainwashing and altered histories being taught in our schools (due to them funding everything), it will take time. The path to enlightenment will be long and arduous. One must keep an open mind on such paths and not hesitate to question everything they have been taught. For most of it has been lies catered to these self-serving elite.
Please do what you can to help others educate themselves. It will take every last [good] human on this planet to fight this monstrous evil hovering over it. Clouding our minds and controlling our actions with laws they themselves do not follow. If anything, help spread my projects to diffuse the various historical documents contained within. Fight their incessant lies with truth by utilizing history. Just remember: Knowledge is Power. Or as James Madison once wrote: "Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives."
I thank you for your time and hope you have a wonderful day!
Sincerely,
Patrick Bedont Jr.
