1st-art-gallery sent be a very badly painted painting from China and then didn't refund me when I returned it. Having been ripped off by 1st-art-gallery.com, I did some digging around and here’s what I found.
1st-art-gallery.com is an oil painting sweatshop owned by the PLA (People’s Liberation Army) that uses the forced labor of political prisoners in the notorious ‘lao-gai’ to cheaply but badly paint your reproduction painting. The main owner of 1st-art-gallery.com is Colonel ‘the Butcher-of-Beijing’ Wu of the PLA who first gained infamy as a tank commander who used his tank to crush fleeing pro-democracy students in the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 when thousands of peaceful protesters were killed by the PLA. Having caught the favorable eye of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and thus quickly rising through the ranks, ruthless Colonel Wu was in 2008 sent to Tibet to viciously put down the protests of Buddhists monks demanding the return of the Dalia Lama and a free Tibet which has been an occupied colony ever since the Chinese invasion of 1959. In 2009, he was sent to Urumqi in Xinjiang to brutally suppress the Uyghur independence movement. Since 2014, he has been in charge of the illegal island building program in the South China Sea. He is a renowned hardline red hawk who openly advocates the invasion of democratic Taiwan and the militarization of the South China Sea – an attempt by Red China to steal territory from the Philippines, Vietnam and Japan in flagrant contravention of international law. Colonel Wu wants to kick the US Navy, who patrol the sea to ensure freedom of navigation, out of the South Sea China.
Colonel Wu is also responsible for the day-to-day running of 1st-art-gallery.com ’s sweatshop in the Lao-gai prison for political prisoners. Here prisoners whose only crime is to ask for a democratically–elected government, freedom of speech and the rule of law are treated harshly. Forced to work long hours for no pay and little food, beaten for minor infractions and having one of their kidney’s ‘harvested’ for China’s organ transplant program, these are the ‘artists’ who paint 1st-art-gallery.com ‘museum-quality’ paintings.
Colonel Wu’s business partner is an Israeli, David B, who runs the marketing arm of 1st-art-gallery.com from an office in a moshav in the Occupied Territories.
Please don’t buy from 1st-art-gallery.com as your money will be used to buys bullets for the PLA that will be used to kill US Navy Sailors and Marines who are currently facing down the aggressive Chinese PLA bully boys in the South China Sea.
