-Caveat Lector-
I don't think the artist had anything that sinister in mind. The "Shriner's
sword" in the mural is actually sort of a scimitar, borrowed from the
artist's memories of childhood "Sindbad" and "Ali Baba" storybooks. At the
risk of being accused of complicity with the NWO, I have to say that I think
people are reading much too much into some admittedly bizarre examples of
modern public art. This stuff is obscure, probably deliberately obscure,
definitely elitist...but there's no occult significance to it other than
what we manage to read into it. This discussion makes me think of a piece in
a sculpture garden in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, which shows a tall,
heavily muscled Amurrican pioneer type, rendered a la 1930's Rockwell Kent,
posed with a rather strange eagle...in such a way that the "pioneer" appears
to be, shall we say, engaged in an "unnatural act" with the eagle. The
meaning of an art work is, after all, in the mind of the beholder.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
