[AmericanThinker] The print edition of Friday’s Washington Post, on the last page of the A Section, contained a full-page advertisement featuring a “painting” of an arresting Muslim woman in an American flag hijab. The image appears to be the work of Shepard Fairley, the artist who created the now iconic (if illegally copied) Obama Hope picture of 2008. It is a clever and insidious piece of leftist/Islamist propaganda put out by a far-left organization called the Amplifier Foundation, which obviously hopes it will become as well known and popular as Fairley’s Obama image. It is worth examining for its tricks and illusions, as a cautionary example of how far the left can go, and how effective it can still be, in the age of Trump.

Image can be seen at the link, along with the examination.

Nor does it appear that the organization that produced and published the image is a small proletarian band of brave liberal artists as their website implies. Full back page ads at the Washington Post are not cheap, running $28,954 for a weekday edition. That shows the organization is backed by someone with serious cash on hand.

The image was clearly prepared and published to support the Women’s March on Washington, another far left propaganda stunt promoted in the mainstream media as an organic grassroots movement, but which is much more deliberate and insidious. The Amplifier Foundation appears to be heavily involved in the enterprise. This image was created and distributed at considerable expense to promote an anti-American leftist agenda that if carried to its philo-Islamist fruition would be extremely harmful to American women. This is quite good evidence of unseen hostile leftist financing such as George Soros or the like. Since the left is now back in protest mode rather than in executive control, we can expect to see a lot more like this.
