Just saw a guy explaining the statue of liberty.
He said it was an Illuminati item for bad. He even used various attachments of nouns.

The people who heard him said they thought it was about freedom and liberty.

How do you chose to see something? And what do people do?


So look at the effects the statue of liberty has, and how it gets people to feel, and that is what it means. Having another meaning can be used to steal your meaning for something, by changing it. But you still get to choose what it means to you.

1. Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

3. MAD Magazine, ca 1965:
And I'll send 'em right back,
I'll send 'em right back to you:
Your huddled masses
your wretched refuse...

+++++++++++++

Mad was the best satire at one time...my guess is that Jon Stewart lived on it as a kid as did I.

5. Thanks for posting that poem

It does show the intended meaning, I think that is a better way to see it, comfort and shelter.


Another good time to post this song.

4. I saw that same program this afternoon.
I agree with you, and the hosts or team seemed to agree with you, that the conspiracy theorists take the numbers like measurements and make their analysis of them fit the theory (or sell the book).

Did you catch the part where the statue would originally have gone to Egypt?

I had never heard that before.

:P

6. On a recent visit with visiting
out-of-town family I can tell you that virtually every souvenir item (mini-Statue replicas, baseball hats, teeshirts, key-rings, coffee mugs, etc.) in the official, on-site Statue of Liberty Gift Shop are "Made in China" or elsewhere. Just a tad ironic & sad, ain't it?

8. He may have a point.
That tiara she's wearing looks like just the thing for emitting brain control rays. FRENCH brain control rays.
