Ball of Vampires by Jan Theuninck, 2025

 

"Ball of vampires" as a metaphorical usage in political rhetoric:The term "vampires’ ball" was used by Russian President Vladimir Putin in a March 2024 interview to describe what he perceives as the exploitative dominance of Western elites, particularly the so-called "golden billion." He suggested that this era of Western influence, characterized by centuries of "stuffing their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money," is coming to an end, tied to the rise of non-Western nations and movements like BRICS and de-dollarization. This rhetoric frames Western powers as parasitic, with the "ball" symbolizing their lavish, predatory dominance.

Character Assassination by Jan Theuninck, 2025

 .

a deliberate and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual.

The state-sponsored destruction of reputations, fostered by political propaganda and cultural mechanisms, can have more far-reaching consequences: One of the earliest signs of a society's compliance to loosening the reins on the perpetration of crimes (and even massacres) with total impunity is when a government favors or directly encourages a campaign aimed at destroying the dignity and reputation of its adversaries, and the public accepts its allegations without question. The mobilisation toward ruining the reputation of adversaries is the prelude to the mobilisation of violence in order to annihilate them. Generally, official dehumanisation has preceded the physical assault of the victims. 

Artificial Intelligence by Jan Theuninck, 2025

Jan Theuninck argues that AI is not only bureaucratic but also ideologically formative: it determines what we know, think, and even imagine. He warns that AI is not neutral—it shapes our perception of the world, and does so in a way that shuts us off from alternative ideas or critical reflection. This implies that technology influences not only our actions but also our thinking space. And this raises fundamental questions about freedom, consciousness, and the role of human autonomy in an increasingly algorithmically driven society.

Theuninck uses his art to comment on contemporary issues, so this piece reflects on AI’s impact on society, ethics, human identity: it’s reasonable to assume it aligns with his signature approach -> provocative, symbolic, and open to interpretation.  He is best known for his paintings depicting the evolution of Western totalitarianism. He explores how conditions and systems influence our governments and politics, highlighting the decline of civil and personal liberties.

Algorithms now preemptively determine what information reaches us, AI creates personalized perception caves, and educational technology applies behavioristic methods on a large scale, making certain ideas literally unthinkable by ensuring they never enter our consciousness.

The risk score makes the unsuspecting citizen guilty until proven innocent. -> inquisition Citizens risk becoming entangled in Kafkaesque processes as a result of the Orwellian combination of data collected by the government.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 "We are being closely observed by the bureaucratic monster in 'automatic mode' (cfr Palantir, NCTC) and, if necessary, sidelined when the system indicates it's necessary. It's not humans who make decisions about us, but AI algorithms. This is the state of the rule of law: terminal." (Dr. Jan Bonte, neurologist) AI will come out as the “hero” and humans will be driven into the arms of AI-managed government. and...A.I. is used for censorship, used in "no touch torture" weapons, etc

According to the World Economic Forum's Nita Farahany, brain sensors embedded in headphones and other devices will soon be keeping tabs on your brain activity.: This technology should use artificial intelligence to recognize fundamental mental states such as fatigue, attention, emotions or even cognitive overload : is that a future you want to live in ?
------------------------------------------

In August 2025, Jan Theuninck believes AI companies are likely causing a stock market bubble. For example, OpenAI announced at the end of its earnings week that it had raised $8.3 billion in investment, part of a planned $40 billion round of funding, valuing the startup, whose ChatGPT chatbot launched in 2022, at $300 billion! (while the company isn't making a profit).

David Icke, September 5, 2025 :
I said that Trump was put in power to front up the AI oligarch takeover of society with artificial intelligence and that's exactly what he's doing - with the oligarchs driving the policy and direction. Here are many at a White House dinner yesterday - including Trump AI 'czar' David Sacks, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, OpenAI founder Sam Altman, Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Clear your mind of all the diversions and this is the thrust of the whole Trump regime - installing the AI control system on every level. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are We Automating the Banality and Radicality of Evil?

• Artificial Intelligence & Equality Initiative
  In the rush to roll out generative AI models and technologies, without sufficient guardrails or regulations, individuals are no longer seen as human beings but as datapoints, feeding a broader machine of efficiency to reduce cost and any need for human contributions. In this way, AI threatens to enable both the banality and the radicality of evil, and potentially fuels totalitarianism. Any tools created to replace human capability and human thinking, the bedrock upon which every civilization is founded, should be met with skepticism—those enabling totalitarianism, prohibited, regardless of the potential profits, just as other scientific advances causing harm have been.

  An aspect of AI that enables the banality of evil is the outsourcing of information and data management to an unreliable system...

Blackmail Ring by Jan Theuninck, 2025

First of all chemical weapons are used by state criminals
to cut the resistance of their targets.
Please note that those state criminals abuse
their own children in an attempt to achieve a blackmail result.

Blackmail Ring is part of a broader body of work addressing themes of manipulation, power, and abuse. Theuninck’s art, including this piece, appears to comment on alleged blackmail schemes, such as those he associates with political or institutional corruption, as seen in his critiques of "Western totalitarianism" and "communitarianism of the New World Order".

In 1983 they sent an officer to meet Jan Theuninck in Ypres, Belgium to tell/threat him they were going to play blackmail games with him, That officer didn't tell they used all kind of chemical products(weapons) in an attempt to try to criminalise him. -  note that "games" is an euphemism to hide their criminal operations e.g. a couple of years ago, in Ninove, Belgium, Jan Theuninck confronted an agent with their use of an energy weapon on his smartphone: he replied it were "games" ; Theuninck told him it are dirty Gestapo games. Early 2025 a French-speaking agent came to say that he was part of a program !

Puppets by Jan Theuninck, 2025

 

The gruesome discovery that the puppets have
fallen into the wrong hands...
acrylic on canvas, 70 x 100 cm

 Jan Theuninck’s artwork titled Puppets is a striking piece that reflects his signature abstract and politically charged style. Created in 2025, the painting measures 70 x 100 cm and is described as portraying “the gruesome discovery that the puppets have fallen into the wrong hands”. That ominous phrase hints at themes of manipulation, control, and perhaps societal or political critique—recurring motifs in Theuninck’s broader body of work. If you're intrigued by this piece, you might also enjoy exploring his other works like Victim Blaming, Diplomacy, or Nanothermite Dust, which continue his exploration of power structures and resistance

Wappie by Jan Theuninck, 2025

 

acrylic on canvas, 70 x 100 cm

De laatste jaren is duidelijk geworden dat onze taal
verrijkt werd met een aantal nieuwe woorden en
uitdrukkingen die de veranderingen binnen onze
samenleving beter beschrijven.

The term "wappie" is a Dutch slang term often used pejoratively to describe people who hold unconventional or conspiracy-related views, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no direct evidence from the provided sources that Jan Theuninck is explicitly associated with the "wappie" label in the context of conspiracy theories or anti-establishment movements. However, some of his recent artwork includes titles like Wappie (2025), Holovaxx (2022), Aryan Corona Passport, and The Great Reset. These titles suggest a critical stance on contemporary socio-political issues, including themes that might resonate with groups labeled as "wappies" by critics, such as skepticism toward globalism or public health policies.Theuninck’s broader oeuvre reflects a consistent anti-totalitarian and anti-communitarian perspective, critiquing systems that he believes erode individual freedoms. For example, his painting Fagospatose (2001) and The Third Way is No Way (2004) criticize political movements like the Third Way associated with figures like Clinton and Blair, which he has likened to a form of modern National Socialism. This aligns with his self-described mission of "poésie engagée" (engaged poetry), where he sees poetry and art as a duty to challenge societal control and conformity.While Theuninck’s work engages with controversial themes, the "wappie" label seems to stem from specific artwork titles rather than a public persona explicitly tied to conspiracy movements. His focus appears to remain artistic and ideological, rooted in his long-standing critique of power structures, rather than aligning directly with the populist or conspiracist connotations of "wappie.

Victim Blaming by Jan Theuninck, 2025

 

acrylic on canvas, 70 x 100 cm

Victim blaming is any response that explicitly states or implies that the victim is to blame for the abuse they have experienced: victim blaming often revolves around actions that a victim could have taken, or not taken, to avoid experiencing abuse. My observations made it clear that victim blaming also makes part of the blackmail system, using chemical products. Psychology is also an important tool in the submission apparatus:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<<Severe personality problems find *camouflage.* No one thinks "I'm a sadist" or "I'm a malignant narcissist."

They find a belief system/social group that validates their most hateful, destructive impulses & construes them as virtues.

The most toxic and hateful people in the world are 100% convinced they fight for what is true and right.

For colleagues looking for more theoretical explanation, the psychological processes are splitting, projection & projective identification. Splitting means not recognizing one's own capacity for hate, cruelty, and destructiveness. The person is blind to the bad in themselves.

Instead, they project the badness onto some designated other. And this other person, via the defense of projection, is now seen as the repository of all that is bad and evil and necessary to destroy. That's the projection.

The person now feels fully justified in unleashing

their viciousness and hate on the other person, who is now seen (via projection) as someone monstrous who must be destroyed. If the person who is projected on responds to the provocation with anger, this is now seen as further confirmation of how hateful and destructive they are (this is what is called is "projective identification.") The end result is that the person can deny their own sadism, cruelty, and hate—while simultaneously acting it out without restraint. And feel themselves to be 100% on the side of truth and right as they do it.>>

Eavesdropping by Jan Theuninck, 2025

 

or how they are listening to the people

Jan Theuninck, a Belgian abstract painter and poet born in Zonnebeke on June 7, 1954, is known for his thematic explorations of historical and contemporary issues. His work often delves into the legacies of World War I, colonialism (both old and new), international migration, pacifism, the Holocaust, and the Jewish experience. Theuninck's style is abstract, using acrylic on canvas to evoke emotional and political commentary through layered, evocative forms."Eavesdropping," created in 2025, is one of his recent pieces that fits this vein, critiquing modern surveillance and state overreach. The painting visually interprets themes of intrusion and control, drawing parallels to revelations by whistleblowers like Edward Snowden about unlawful government surveillance programs. The artist himself describes the work as a reflection on "how they are listening to the people," highlighting the tension between loyalty and perceived criminality in an era of mass data collection.

The courts have ruled repeatedly that the programs Snowden revealed were unlawful, and likely unconstitutional—a violation of your rights. - what they call loyalty is a crime.

it's done - by Jan Theuninck, 2022

 

inspired by the blast of the Nord stream pipeline and the following destruction of Germany's economy

Liz Truss’s message shortly after the Nord Stream attack: ‘It’s done’ : the Nord Stream gas pipeline was blown up on September 26, 2022.
Truss (born 26 July 1975) is a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party from September to October 2022.

Radek Sikorski, a Polish politician tweets “Thank you, USA.” with the picture of Nord Stream gas leak

2025: In front of Merz, Trump takes credit for ending Nord Stream.
That’s real power, not just talk

You quite literally have the American president claiming credit for the largest act of sabotage of Europe's strategic infrastructure since WW2, and you can bet 100% it won't even be a story in EU media.

The temptation of Anthony (by Jan Theuninck, 1999)

 

 acrylic on canvas, 70 x 100 cm

acrylic on canvas, 70 x 100 cm

This work is about a Belgian Military Blackmail game in Charleroi, involving a female officer,  

probably ordered by Jan Theuninck's father, after whose death the neighbors told that he had a homosexual relationship with a local priest in Zonnebeke, a certain Christiaens.

Jan Theuninck's nephew, 18 years old at that time, called that female officer an army mattress.

It's an example of a psychological projection: for more theoretical explanation, the psychological processes are splitting, projection & projective identification. Splitting means not recognizing one's own capacity for hate, cruelty, and destructiveness. The person is blind to the bad in themselves. Instead, they project the badness onto some designated other.
