STARTS Weaving the Art-Science Tangled Web is a follow-up to the author's earlier book: STARTS - Science, Technology and the Arts: The Artistic Voices that DG CONNECT Silenced. This new work considers DG CONNECT's adoption of Totalitarian Art. It is an epistolary account of how the legend, myth, and magic of Science, Technology, and the Arts are being used in pursuit of the European Commission's weltanschauung. The work reflects on the emergent problem of Europeanness by exploring what Lenin, Stalin, Hitler and DG CONNECT have in common. In doing so the book cautions against the belief that the European Union is unlike other European Unions of the past. It is not, and is already showing the signs of becoming like past European Unions, and that similarity can be best seen in the adoption by DG CONNECT of Totalitarian Art which, by its nature, is done for the most sinister of reasons - manipulation of the mind - for that is the nature of the right-wing authoritarian regime that now resides in the City of the Golden Stars, which seeks to undermine the parliamentary democracies of the Member States of the European Union to replace them with a Union of Subservient State Republics. We can promise readers that they will not believe this. Perhaps they might after they have digested the contents of this work. Perhaps not though, for those who are European Union Nationalist are unlikely to - such is the nature of their ideology. It has already consumed their minds! This is a warning from the author based on inside knowledge and first-hand observations - will anyone take note this time?
