The theft was dubbed “the most colossal crime of modern times” and reported by every single big newspaper of the time.

The Heist of the Mona Lisa

The mysterious heist led to a high-profile police investigation and extensive coverage in newspapers around the world, quickly elevating the Mona Lisa or La Gioconda, into the public consciousness. Museum visitors crowded around the empty space on the gallery wall, which was referred to as Paris’s “mark of shame.” Renowned cubist Pablo Picasso and Wall Street tycoon J.P. Morgan were both investigated as suspects—but the real culprit turned out to be someone named Vincenzo Peruggia.

Paris’s “mark of shame,” the empty space on the gallery wall where Mona had been displayed.

How he did it

Vincenzo Peruggia worked at the Louvre— he was a handyman and former Louvre employee familiar with the lay out, how the painting had been installed and museum procedures.

Security at the Louvre was low—unlike today’s high-tech security systems and CCTV, there was little in place during the early 20th century to stop criminals.

He had the help of 2 henchmen—brothers, Vincenzo and Michele Lancelotti assisted him with the theft.

It took over 2 years to catch him—He hid the painting in a false-bottom trunk in his apartment for 2 years while trying to find a buyer.

Details

Peruggia hid in a closet and waited for the gallery to close. with the help of his 2 accomplices, they lifted the artwork off the wall, removed its glass case and frame, and wrapped it up in a drop cloth. They smuggled the painting out of the museum, and nobody noticed it was missing for over twenty-four hours.

Because the Mona Lisa’s popularity exploded in the wake of the heist, Peruggia could not simply sell it as planned. After hiding the painting in his Paris apartment for 2 years, he finally attempted to sell it to an art dealer in Florence. Peruggia was arrested on the spot and the masterpiece was triumphantly returned to the Louvre with newfound notoriety to its name.

So it was actually Peruggia’s shady criminal activities that  helped make the Mona Lisa famous around the world.

Domande:

Se è dal '700 che la massoneria agisce per controllare il mondo, se le famiglie Rothschild, Morgan, Rockefeller, etc. tramano da allora per avere il monopolio su tutto, se il satanismo è così diffuso soprattutto fra le élites, come è possibile che esistano ancora persone ed interi Paesi (vedi El Salvador) che non si sono piegati ma, anzi, alzano la testa?

Perché abbiamo ancora la facoltà di avere un pensiero critico se sono secoli che lavorano per eliminare questa possibilità?

Perché ogni giorno nascono nuove tecnologie volte ad aggirare la censura ed il controllo?

Non sarà che tutti i loro sforzi sono sopravvalutati? Non sarà, per caso, una mossa per farci credere di avere un nemico troppo grande per combatterlo o per farci combattere la battaglia sbagliata?

Il risultato di tutte queste teorie del controllo globale, non è forse quello di annichilire lo spirito delle persone e farle desistere dall'intraprendere quelle azioni individuali che le renderebbero libere, facendogli accettare con rassegnazione lo stato di cose? Non serve forse a spaventare i più pavidi, per convincerli che questo è il migliore dei mondi possibili o l'unico mondo possibile?

Pensateci su: perché, dopo tre secoli se non di più, non hanno ancora vinto ma, oggi più che mai, abbiamo nelle nostre mani gli strumenti della nostra libertà?

Forse sarà il caso di cominciare a guardare la luna anziché il dito...

General Motors (GM.N) on Thursday made a counterproposal to the union representing its U.S. hourly workers in a bid to avoid a costly strike, but United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain called the offer "insulting."

The largest U.S. automaker said it offered workers a 10% wage hike and two additional 3% annual lump sum payments over four years in its offer to the union ahead of the Sept. 14 contract expiration.

Last week, Ford said it had offered a 9% wage increase through 2027 and 6% lump sump payments, much less than the 46% wage hike being sought by the union. The UAW has said 97% of members voted in favor of authorizing a strike if agreement is not reached.

Fain, who represents 146,000 workers at the Detroit Three, said GM's offer was "an insulting proposal that doesn’t come close to an equitable agreement for America’s autoworkers.... The clock is ticking. Stop wasting our members’ time. Tick tock."

GM shares were down 1.3% in mid-day trading.

GM said the wage hike is the largest proposed since 1999. It is also offering a $6,000 one-time inflation-related payment and $5,000 in inflation-protection bonuses over the life of the agreement, along with a $5,500 ratification bonus.

Chrysler-parent Stellantis said Wednesday it planned to make a counteroffer to the UAW this week.

GM said that under its offer, current temporary employees will receive a 20% increase to $20 per hour wage and it would shorten the time it takes to get to the maximum wage rate for permanent employees - mirroring proposals from Ford.

GM President Mark Reuss said in a video posted on Thursday "we need a fair contract that both rewards our employees and protects the long-term health of our business."

A UAW strike that shuts the Detroit Three manufacturers could cost carmakers, suppliers and workers over $5 billion, Michigan-based Anderson Economic Group estimated.

With new car inventories tight, consumer experts have said that could translate into higher car prices - an important component of inflation.

Last week, the UAW filed unfair labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board against GM and Stellantis saying they refused to bargain in good faith.

The union's demands include a 20% immediate wage increase followed by four 5% annual wage hikes, defined-benefit pensions for all workers, 32-hour work weeks and additional cost of living hikes. GM is proposing to give employees an additional paid holiday.

The UAW also wants all temporary workers at U.S. automakers to be made permanent, seeks enhanced profit sharing and the restoration of retiree health-care benefits and cost-of-living adjustments.

The UAW said Ford's profit-sharing formula change would have cut payouts by 21% over the last two years.

J.P.Morgan on Thursday said supply chain disruptions from a potential UAW strike would cut new vehicle production, drive up used car prices and put pressure on margins in the personal auto insurance business.

The Gilded Age in Florida: A Few Words about the Flaglers and their Food

Ponce de Leon Hotel, St. Augustine (Now Flagler College) (Photo credit: C. Bertelsen) No, here I’m not celebrating Julian Fellowes’s TV series, “The Gilded Age.” I’ll confess something right off the bat: I watched only a few episodes. Why? The story of that tumultuous time is actually more interesting than fiction. First of all, Mark Twain coined the phrase, “The Gilded Age,” in a satirical novel…

Bridging diasporic gaps, MoS External Affairs and MoS for Culture Meenakshi Lekhi graciously launches the International Desi website

"The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are." - J.P. Morgan.

International Desi website

Migration, for centuries now, has been associated with experiences, adventures, and explorations. Amidst the joy and content of making it to the other side of the seven seas, hidden fears of uncertainties and disconnect hit us. Students, employees, entrepreneurs, etc., who travel around the globe depend on informal sources or social media connections to find their way in a new country.

After her own relocating and travelling experiences for studies, work and pleasure for decades, Sandhya Jane recognized these diasporic setbacks and launched an online platform in 2018 to bring the Indian community together in Hong Kong. This platform was supported by Puneet Agrawal, then Consul General of Hong Kong via the website, WhatsApp and telegram groups, social media and city guide. Read More
