On March 1, 2017 the USA Today Network published an article titled, “Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. creates ‘a diary of the world on canvas’”.Five days later, boosting the decline of public trust in news media, as noted in a recent Gallup Poll, editors at a USA Today publication used subtle-censorship to openly corrupt a factual header, in favor of a glaringly fake-news headline, to downplay a unique story about modern-art-gonzo-journalism and the Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM). The trending internet article, by journalist Lisa Conley, about the curious career of the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo, was printed in the Sunday March 5, 2017, Naples Daily Newspaper, under the headline, “Artist creates, ‘a diary of the world on canvas'”, after premiering globally on the USA Today Network, onthe same day that Democratic Congressman, Cedric Richmond, uttered a crude, gang-rape, sex-joke about the Counselor to President Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway, at The Washington Press Club Foundation’s Annual Congressional Dinner.
Impactful USA Today Network News Headline
“Between the famous name, the Naval Academy, “Crackhead Jesus” and Pink Floyd, Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr.’s story has everything.“:The caption read, as the article quickly caught public interest and was picked up over the next five days by several mainstream media news outlets across America including: The Tennessean, The Naples Daily News and The Marco Eagle.

As Lisa Conley’s article gained readers and momentum in shares, on social media networks, like Facebook and LinkedIn, the real news headline was abruptly changed, to a fake-news internet headline, by USA Today editors, without explanation.
USA Today Network: Subtle-censorship.
The nonsensical caption negatively impacts search algorithms and serves to stunt the stories reach. Students of art movements and human history, are left confused, rather than informed, when using Google, Bing and other information gathering resources on the internet, to research the United States Naval Academy trained, New York born, Hispanic, multi-media artist, Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr., who is better known by his stage name, Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo, when performing as part of the Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM), to raise money for charity and education scholarships, as well as elevate awareness about under-reported social issues, such as waning public trust in news media, at public events, like, Wet Paint Live, in Marco Island, Florida, as reported, in the USA Today Network article by Lisa Conley.
Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. USA Today Network
Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. is listed in The Library Of Congress amongst some of the most influential artists in modern history, including The Beastie Boys, Shepard Fairey and The Wu Tang Clan, in the University/College reference book, by D.B. Burkeman, titled, “Stickers: From Punk Rock To Contemporary Art”. The Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo is known to no one in the entertainment industry or in his private life as, Vaca.
The headline “Marco visitor Vaca paints to create ‘diary of the world on canvas'” begs the questions: “If a USA Today journalist goes to Syria on assignment, would USA Today editors say the reporters are visiting or working to gather useful news and information for public consumption and if the artist Willie Nelson performs in Naples, will the Naples News headline read, “Nelson Visits Naples”?
Artist Willie Nelson USA Today Network
The same week, USA Today Editors, corrupted truth with false narrative, a story headlined, “Willie Nelson at Artis-Naples” was published in The Naples Daily News. The Naples News editors, who inexplicably chose to burden Conley’s work with a fake news headline, were then asked: “Wouldthe headline for a performance by Lady Gaga, Sting or Cher in Marco Island read; “Marco Visitor [Whatever Lady Gaga, Sting, or Cher’s Last Name is] Sings Songs About Life”?
According to USA Today Network editors, when asked to provide an explanation for this betrayal of public trust and answer why they chose to surreptitiously alter a fact based headline in favor of heralding a grossly misleading caption as truth for subscribers, the following statement was provided:
“We used the phrase Marco visitor because we try to emphasize local angles in headlines to distinguish our local stories from all of the state, nation and world stories available on our website and others. We used just his last name in the headline because that is standard practice in American journalism to keep headlines shorter and thus more readable. It’s not standard practice to put Jr. in a headline unless necessary to distinguish someone from his father. In this case, that wasn’t necessary because few of our readers would think of his father.”
Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. USA Today Network
It is curious, to say the least, that the USA Today Network would choose to bury a story about modern-art-gonzo-journalism, by purposefully changing the title to mislead algorithms and search engines, at the height of public interest. USA Today editors, using archaic, truth-defying-standards, appear to rationalize the perpetuation of false narratives, through fake news headlines, as a way of dumbing down the public. It is no wonder that smart readers have fled, in hordes, from subscribing to the poetic-misinformation peddled by newspapers.
The Palm Beach Post censors film title.
On October 29, 2010, The Palm Beach Post used subtle-censorship in the form of nine question marks, ?????????, to corrupt the title of the award-winning film, “Crackhead Jesus: The Movie”; a film written, produced and directed by Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr., as part of the 2010 Delray Beach Film Festival 72-Hour Movie-Making Competition.
“Crackhead Jesus: The Movie” Marquee.
When the 72-Hour Film Competition winner was screened alongside cult classic films, “Pink Floyd’s: The Wall” and Stanley Kubrick’s, “A Clockwork Orange”, in Lake Worth, Florida, as part of the Halloween Modern Art Music Movement Midnight Cult Movie MAMM Jam, the fake Palm Beach Post movie listing caused needless confusion for subscribers in the surrounding community and realized lost revenue for the theater owner and event producers.
Subtle-censorship by The Palm Beach Post.
To the credit of USA Today publications, though editors chose to stifle proliferation of the story of modern-art-gonzo-journalism on the internet, with a fake news headline, they did not censor, in print newspaper or on the internet, the contentious name of the title character, Crackhead Jesus, from the controversial, award-winning film, inspired by court documented events.
Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. USA Today Network
To credit USA Today publication editors at the Naples Daily News, which claims an audience of 70,995 Sunday and 60,232 daily, they did not use a fake news headline in the print newspaper version of Lisa Conley’s article, published on March 5th, 2010.
Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr. USA Today Network
Modern-art-gonzo-journalism serves as a bridge between art and journalism, to help people understand the other side of the story, by seeing past the truth, through the Modern Art Music Movement (MAMM).
Modern Art Gonzo Journalism.
As newspapers struggle to stay relevant, it is only a matter of time before fake news headlines on websites perpetuated in big, bold letters and words, that ultimately mean nothing and only serve to confuse facts, will consume public trust and further alienate a growing skeptical internet audience.
The question for editors at USA Today remains the same: “Will the headline, ‘Willie Nelson at Artis-Naples’ eventually be changed to read, “Nelson Visits Naples” and will a performance by Lady Gaga, Sting or Cher in Marco Island receive the headlines, “Marco Visitor [Whatever Lady Gaga, Sting, or Cher’s Last Name Is] Sings Songs About Life”?

THE UNDECIDED VOTER AND MILLENNIALS PIVOT TOWARDS VOTING AGAINST THE POLITICAL STATUS QUO, EMBODIED IN A WELL REHEARSED, CAREFULLY SCRIPTED, HILLARY CLINTON, AFTER WITNESSING MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE THAT CLEARLY PAINTED DONALD TRUMP AS, THE UNDERDOG.
“BEFORE VOTING, ASK YOURSELF, WWMLD? WHAT WOULD MONICA LEWINSKY DO?”, 9/11 SERIES, MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM, BY THE MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II.
The Undecided Voter and Millennials realize the question for those Independents still trying to decide between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is, to put it bluntly: “Which Bully do you want in the White House, representing the best interest of you, your Children and seven generations forward and which Woman, as Commander In Chief, or First Lady, do you want to serve your bloodline, as a historical role model, for developing young girls and grown women; Meanwhile, setting a public example, for how developing young boys and structured men, should behave around girls, women, military veterans and police officers, for seven generations forward?”
THE UNDECIDED VOTER
The Undecided Voter, regardless of Sex, Race, Creed or Color, is looking to elect someone with common sense and a clear, forward, vision, to press the reset button, on a politically correct system, that is obviously broken and in dire need of realistic repair; Maybe not by a couple of seasoned bullies in the White House but by one passionate, outsider, claiming to be capable of working efficiently and in fair cooperation with other world leaders, using every available tool, rather than trusting stale, over-rehearsed, meaningless rhetoric, filled with false narratives, of half-truths, shining brightly in the hypocrisy of philanthropy.

The Undecided Voter was baffled by Donald Trump’s inability to clearly and succinctly communicate rebuttals, during his first, one-on-one debate with a seasoned politician, and a noticeably biased moderator, tossing irrelevant bread and circus distractions, disguised as relevant questions, carefully crafted to incite racial disharmony, by demanding self reflection, in presuming that all Americans, are inherently bias, racist and deplorable human beings, in order to provoke social discord, by fueling insecurity and public distrust of police, press and authority.
IT’S NOT A BLACK OR WHITE ISSUE, IT’S A CORRUPT LEADERSHIP ISSUE.
The Undecided Voter observes Hillary Clinton’s husband, Bill, and ponders the treatment of Veterans who risk their lives, in defense of freedom, for future generations of Americans, to live in a democracy, not an oligarchy, or plutocracy, reigned over by bullies and tyrants disguised as caretakers and do-gooders, who defy Rule of Law and don’t pay taxes, while pandering to Hispanics, Blacks and Women, by pretending to care about Mexicans, African-Americans and Venezuelan Beauty Pageant winners, all while attempting to dumb down masses into believing that, the “First Black President”, miraculously emerged from an Aryan vagina, belonging to a white woman named, Stanley Ann Dunham, with predominantly English but including German, Swiss, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh ancestry.

NY Artist Victor-Hugo to Run for President
The column documented the under-reported presidential candidacy of the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, who entered the 2008 Presidential race to run against fellow former U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman Officer, John McCain and Freshman Senator Barack Hussein Obama, as reported in alternative news outlets around the world including newspapers in Iceland.

THE UNITED SLAVES OF AMERICA
The BLOUINART INFOInternational Magazine article read:
Controversial Latino modern artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, a native of Queens, N.Y., announced today his plans to pursue a spot on the 2008 presidential electoral ballot, taking on frontrunners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The artist said in a public statement that he will try to run for president while he continues to research his “Law and Justice in the United States” series of works.
The point of running for office, he explained, would be to educate his fans on the difficulty or ease with which a native-born American citizen can run for “the most powerful position in the world.”
He added that he hopes the investigation and his bid for the presidency inspires the “lied-to generation” to get more involved with politics and heed the warnings in Al Gores film, An Inconvenient Truth.
“I’m spending so much time in court investigating unethical attorneys and judges that I might as well find out what it takes to run for president while I’m there. Obviously, I realize that the biggest requirement is not intelligence or common sense—George W. Bush Jr. has proven that. Loads and loads of campaign contributions from interested parties is what is needed to win.” – Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II
UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY MIDSHIPMAN OFFICER CANDIDATE VICTOR-HUGO VACA II
The legendary modern-art-gonzo-journalism, “Crackhead Jesus Series”, by the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II prognosticated a modern civil war in America, manifested by blatant public corruption, emanating out of the White House, enabled by biased news media and weak investigative journalism, whose cumulative effect, undermined the halls of justice, creating dangerous double standards, for favored elitists and notable public figures, protected by the FBI, Attorney General and Police, as underprivileged constituents are slaughtered in the streets, by those hired to serve and protect them, while grave injustice permeates unchecked, through U.S. Courtrooms, enslaving all Americans, regardless of race, creed or color, with a dangerously, double-standard, Rule Of Law.

The Undecided Voter notices that news outlets, owned by Caucasians, appear to be acting in collusion, with Presidential candidates, to recklessly toss the word, “racist”, around, in a subversive attempt, to promote a modern civil war agenda, that favors orchestrating riots, violent protests and looting, to produce anarchy, across the nation, for photo ops and soundbites, that increase ratings and profits white people.

On May 1st, 2008, the beaches edition of The Sun Post, covering Miami Beach, North Bay Village, Surfside, Bay Harbor, Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles Beach, North Miami, North Miami Beach and Aventura, featured Jennifer Aniston on the cover, under the headline, “Celebrity Gossip”, stating “Jen’s body is a wonderland”, in reference to rumors of her intimate relationship with John Mayer. Inside the newspaper, distributed to readers with some of the highest per capita wealth in the United States, was a letter to the editor, from the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II which foretold by nearly a decade, the present state of a nation in turmoil, deciding between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, for Commander In Chief of the world’s most powerful armed forces.
MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR- HUGO VACA II LETTER TO EDITOR
The letter was headlined, “Of Course Lawmaking Attorneys Want To Ban Free Speech”. It read:
“It should come as no surprise to anyone that a proposed law in the state of Florida could ban free speech. The Florida Bar, under the direction of Henry Coxe III, begot the saga of Crackhead Jesus (www.crackheadjesus.com) to avoid threats of censorship from rogue attorneys who make and interpret law for trusting constituents.
To find out exactly who has oversight over the man who determines the standard of ethics and competency for lawmakers in Florida, the offices of Gov. and potential vice presidential candidate Charlie Crist, along with Sen. Mel Martinez and Attorney General Bill McCollum, were contacted. Turns out they were all under the impression that the Florida Supreme Court was in charge of the Florida Bar. Wrong.
It appears government confusion has left the fox guarding the henhouse. Only in the state of Florida is a higher level of ethics and competence expected of Miami panhandlers than of lawmaking attorneys.
The Florida Commission on Ethics has gotten involved since no one in government seems quite sure what to do about this unexpected and embarrassing predicament facing Florida government during this election year.
Government officials appear ill at ease about the whole thing, I assume because they fear a credible news outlet might actually see this as a national news item should Gov. Crist be offered the vice presidential nomination, the death penalty moratorium be removed or more Florida residents, business owners and newspaper readers come froward with allegations that some Florida courts are being used by rogue attorneys to legally extort constituents while no one is watching.
Free speech and justice concerns are things that should make someone go “hmmm” in this election year, which may ultimately be determined by the same system that appointed George W. Bush in 2000.”
MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM CREATED BY MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II CONTAINS SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES THAT WARN THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF ISSUES IGNORED BY MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA DUE TO CENSORSHIP AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST WITH ADVERTISERS THAT FUND THE BUSINESS OF REPORTING NEWS AND INFORMATION TO TRUSTING MASSES.
Millennials should realize that the death of democracy happened in the year 2000, when the Florida Supreme Court appointed George W. Bush as President of the United States as if he were King, rather than allowing the majority of constituents to elect a Commander In Chief based on popular vote. Biased mainstream media news outlets dismiss, as conspiracy theory, Donald Trump’s valid concern that the electoral process is rigged, however the fact of the matter is, that nothing has changed since this prophetic letter was written, nearly a decade ago, by the man, who some claim is the reincarnation of the world renowned French artist Victor Hugo, who documented the French Revolution, in words and drawings that still resonate as meaningful and relevant, over a century after being manifested in the classic novels, “Les Miserables” and “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame”.
THIS WORK OF MODERN-ART-GONZO-JOURNALISM BY MAVERICK ARTIST VICTOR-HUGO VACA II CONTAINS SEVERAL SUBLIMINAL CLUES FOR INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS TO EXAMINE JUDGE DONALD W. HAFELE AND THE LITTLE KNOWN, THREE MEMBER BOARD, KNOWN AS, “THE FAIRNESS OF ELECTIONS COMMITTEE”, THAT INFLUENCES AMERICAN ELECTIONS, BUT WHOSE PROFOUND GLOBAL IMPACT, GOES UNREPORTED, BY WEAK MAINSTREAM MEDIA NEWS OUTLETS WHO FAIL TO TELL THE PUBLIC THE WHOLE STORY OF THE U.S. ELECTORAL PROCESS AND HOW IT IS, IN FACT, NOT CONSPIRACY THEORY, RIGGED.
Now, for what he calls, “The Lied To Generation”, the Maverick Artist Victor-Hugo Vaca II, is documenting the American Revolution, taking place in the new millennium, in modern-art-gonzo-journalism form, for Millennials, to digest and ponder, in the midst of mainstream news media, that has forsaken public trust, in favor of greed, ratings and biased political agendas.
