Graffiti

Post by Charyn Compeau »

While walking the pooches, I noticed that a number of traffic light boxes were sprayed with a picture of a bird of prey descending on a person.

Is there anyone that knows the translation of this graffiti?

Its obviously from a stencil and not irregularly placed, so I doubt it is a simple random artist.

We noticed it too, my kids were quick to point out "Look now instead of pigs, they're painting birds." So I would imagine it's the same people. As for what it means, I don't know, but they generally appear on non-private owned properties, ie. mailboxes, signs, utility boxes, etc.

I normally would not post on a graffiti thread, but this one grabbed my attention because of the subject.

This would be a total op. As it looks like an eagle(USA) eating people(us). Upon closer inspection of the wings, feather counts and details it would seem to be the Bohemian Grove Owl eating Americans.

I could be wrong.

I could be wrong, but I think the graffiti in question is a giant Swat team dove.....

People,

Ya gotta be optimistic here.

I interpret this as a jiu-jitsu expert, flippin' that poor little avianosaur into the middle of next week!

Oh yeah, seems I recall that birds are supposed to be direct descendants of the dinosaurs...called manoraptors, or something like that?

Hmmm... man....o....raptor?

Did I just solve this crypticism?

It is the symbol of a new Creation Mythology. The Eagle begat Ronald Reagan, who created Reaganomics. His name is now held as a totem; Republican Candidates for national offices race to claim the totem before each nomination.
