The Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. turned 100 on May 30, so I thought I’d add my two cents to all the tributes being paid to “America’s most beloved monument,” as one conservative publication described it. If you’d like to know what you’re teaching your children and grandchildren to worship and revere when you take them to visit the Lincoln Memorial, I suggest reading a U.S. National Park Service (NPS) publication by one Nathan King entitled “Secret Symbol of the Lincoln Memorial.” This is the U.S. government’s explanation of the meaning of the Lincoln Memorial.
The “true meaning” of the Lincoln Memorial according to the National Park Service that administers it is represented by a “ubiquitous symbol” that is all over the monument, inside and out. That symbol is the fasces, a bundle of rods bound together by a leather thong. This is said to represent “the higher meaning of the memorial and the man.”
The fasces was originally used in the Roman Empire as “a symbol of power and authority,” says the NPS publication. It “represented that a man held imperium, or executive authority.” Exercising that “authority” a “leader could expect his orders to be obeyed, could dole out punishment [to those who disobeyed him], and could even execute those who disobeyed.” That man, in the American tradition, would be Abraham Lincoln in particular, and all of his successors in general. It means that Jefferson’s declaration in the Declaration of Independence that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed is null and void. From Lincoln on forward, government in America derives its “just powers” from itself. Its “powers” are whatever it says they are. The word “fascism” of course has its roots in the word “fasces.”
The NPS notes that the “executive authority” represented by the fasces was often enforced in history by “beatings” and “beheadings” if need be. The fasces that are “depicted all throughout the Lincoln Memorial” imply governmental “power, strength, authority, and justice.” Not freedom, or natural rights to life, liberty, and property, but governmental “power” and “authority.” Calling dictatorial fascism “justice” apparently makes it all perfectly acceptable.
The purpose of all this unbridled “power” is to exert “the power and authority of the state over the citizens, commanding respect,” says the NPS. Respect is not something to be earned, but commanded. That the American people are no longer the masters of but rather the servants of the state is the “true meaning” of the Lincoln Memorial. The ubiquitous fasces implanted all over the Memorial are Americanized with cute little images of bald eagles on top.
Unfortunately this is what we have all over the US and it all needs to go. The Freemason’s have put their Symbolism in just about everything we have and have also turned everything that we thought was good upside down. After the War we finished the Country off by dragging the Nazi’s over here and they took over and that is just a brief summary as there is way too much to even try to explain. Bottom line is The Sick Evil Cabal owns Everything and Everybody and we were destined to Own Nothing and Be Happy or Dead and according to the Georgia Guide Stones it was going to be Dead.
All I can suggest is that you start researching and open your minds to accept whatever you discover. Your History Book did not tell you the truth about anything so you have lots to discover.
Lincoln was Republican.
