Did your history teachers tell you the Statue of Liberty is not its real name, and it was a leftover Illuminati Masonic statue meant for the Suez Canal? In 1884, the Statue of Liberty in New York City harbor was presented as a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to the Freemasons of America in celebration of the centenary of the first Masonic Republic.
On August 5, 1984, a plaque was displayed at the Statue of Liberty to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the New York City statue, explaining Lady Liberty was a gift by the French Freemasons and government to American masons and government and is officially named Liberty Enlightening the World.
A picture of the plaque is shown here and reads in all caps: “AT THIS SITE ON AUGUST 5, 1884, THE CORNERSTONE OF THE PEDESTAL OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY ENLIGHTENING THE WORLD WAS LAID WITH CEREMONY BY WILLIAM A. BRODIE, GRAND MASTER OF MASONS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, GRAND LODGE MEMBERS, REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES AND FRENCH GOVERNMENTS, ARMY AND NAVY OFFICERS, MEMBERS OF FOREIGN LEGATIONS, AND DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS WERE PRESENT. THIS PLAQUE IS DEDICATED BY THE MASONS OF NEW YORK IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THAT HISTORIC EVENT.”
The official plaque shows the French government and the American government are both linked to Freemasonry. The 1984 plaque was signed by American Freemasons and not U.S. government officials. Therefore, is the statue owned by the Masons or the U.S. government, or are they one-in-the-same?
It is believed the Statue of Liberty is holding the Masonic “Torch of Enlightenment,” which represents the Sun. A torch sits on top of not only the Statue of Liberty but also over the tunnel where Princess Diana died in Paris, under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris and over the grave of American President John F. Kennedy. Illuminati means “to bare light,” and carrying or displaying a torch can symbolize this meaning.
Popular Author Robert Bauval stated: “The Statue of Liberty, which was designed by the French sculptor [Frederic Auguste] Bartholdi and actually built by the French Engineer [gic], Gustave Eiffel (both well-known Freemasons), was not originally a ‘Statue of Liberty’ at all, but first planned by Bartholdi for the opening of the Suez Canal in Egypt in 1867.
Bartholdi, like many French Freemasons of his time, was deeply steeped in ‘Egyptian’ rituals, and it has often been said that he conceived the original statue as an effigy of the goddess Isis, and only later converted it to a ‘Statue of Liberty’ for New York harbour when it was rejected for the Suez Canal.”
Bauval wrote in another article, “The ‘torch’ analogy is very interesting. The original statue of Bartholdi destined first for Port Said at the mouth of the Suez Canal, was also to bear a torch intended to symbolize ‘the Orient showing the way.’ The ‘Grand Orient,’ of course, is the name of the name of the French Masonic mother lodge, and to which Bartholdi belonged. There is another similar ‘torch’ that played a strange role in the French Revolution, but of which I will reveal later in my forthcoming book “Talisman.” [gic] It still is to be seen in the skyline of Paris today.
People today do not realize the power of such symbolism, and how they can be used with devastating effect on the minds of the unsuspecting masses. And this is worrying. The SS Nazi movement made prolific use of these ‘symbol games,’ and wreaked havoc in the world.”
Lazy history teachers: did you ever even visit the Statue of Liberty and see the plaque describing where it came from?! If you want more information on this topic, one website to see is www.freemasonrywatch.org.
