Truth Be Told
Every painting in Chronicle of an Unquiet Age documents the defining events, people, and issues that shaped its moment in history. Created in real time as events unfolded, each work serves as both an original oil painting and a historical record, reflecting the belief that the news of today is the history of tomorrow.

By May 2023, competing narratives over politics, media, and government credibility continued to define the national mood. Debt ceiling negotiations, the 2024 campaign, border pressures, and ongoing fallout from earlier controversies kept Americans sorting through claims, counterclaims, and partisan messaging.
Truth Be Told reflects a public increasingly skeptical of what it was being told. Truth Be Told suggests that truth itself had become contested territory. The The New York Post headline says: "Joe Bribin" Follow the Money. Things are getting tricky for Joe Biden. C'mon MAN... Truth..Be Told!! Please! Rep. James Comer held a Press Conference outlining whistleblower information regarding "Pay to Play" and Joe Biden.
May 3, 2023 Comer and fellow Republicans used newly unearthed bank records that claim to to show Joe's family members sought to improperly benefit from his Vice Presidency. The 1023 form outlines the whistleblower info but will the FBI comply and release the unredacted facts? Biden used Blinken to pressure 51 former Intel officials to sign on to Hunter's laptop as disinformation in a letter leaked to the press. Was his participation paid off by making him now Secretary of State...Truth...Be Told.
Clapper and Brennan are rewarded for their dirty tricks as the disinformation letter was used in the 2020 debate by Joe to dispel facts on the laptop. Both Clapper and Brennan got lucrative media jobs on main stream media. John Durham finally releases his report after four years and slams the FBI for actions in 2016 Russia Investigations. Truth be Told!
The Durham report also reveals that in 2016 Hillary Clinton's campaign and Hillary herself fabricated claims that Trump was colluding with Russia. Truth. But what has been done about any of this? Dems are protected. Indict Trump on "Trumped" up charges. Why isn't Hillary and those involved indicted or in jail for their Election Interference? Jim Comey and Obama? Despite knowing it was concocted by Hillary and her hit squad the FBI leaked the claims to the media and public to discredit Trump. Obama and Biden knew of Hillary's plan and said NOTHING! Another player in this Game is Jake Sullivan. He peddled the false claims linking Trump to Russia in 2016 for Hillary. Now...He is the National Security Advisor in the Biden Administration.
Truth Be Told all these players are in the Biden Administration were associated or worked in the Obama Administration and Hillary's orbit and have been rewarded and promoted "Up" for their deeds. These same players are now working behind the scenes. In other news Senator Tim Scott has entered the GOP Presidential Field.
AND the Coronation of King Charles 111 and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth Realms took place on May 6, 2023 at Westminster Abby. God Save the King! Truth Be Told preserves a moment when many citizens were less certain of institutions, media narratives, and official explanations than ever before.
