Blackmail Ring by Jan Theuninck, 2025

First of all chemical weapons are used by state criminals to cut the resistance of their targets. When it doesn't work they use 'no touch torture' weapons to neutralize them. Please note that those state criminals abuse their own children in an attempt to achieve a blackmail result.

Character Assassination by Jan Theuninck, 2025

Systematic character attacks (through smear campaigns, comparisons to extremists (cfr OCAD), and moral outrage) can normalize or trigger physical mobilization against a target. Theuninck considers such dynamics a "prelude" because they undermine empathy and justify escalation, thus drawing parallels with broader patterns in populist politics. Theuninck's art serves as a cautionary abstraction, encouraging reflection on how words become a weapon before bullets do.

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.

Wappie by Jan Theuninck, 2025 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. Theuninck’s broader oeuvre reflects a consistent anti-totalitarian and anti-communitarian perspective, critiquing systems that he believes erode individual freedoms.

Puppets by Jan Theuninck, 2025 The gruesome discovery that the puppets have fallen into the wrong hands...  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

Victim Blaming by Jan Theuninck, 2025 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:

Eavesdropping by Jan Theuninck, 2025 "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.
