New Ginsburg Statue Looks Like Demonic Fertility Symbol
Are they trolling, or are they ACTUAL Satanists?
In the months following the unnecessarily murderous raid on the Branch Davidians in Waco in 1993, I spent some time listening to various radio shows, trying to make sense of it all. I cannot remember now what the shows were (“For the People” with Chuck Harder rings a bell, but that may not be right). Wherever it was, I remember a host or guest claiming to have video evidence that as the place was burning (with men, women, and children inside), ATF agents could be seen making ritualistic, worshipful gestures to the flames. I remember thinking that, as repellent as the government’s actions were, Satanic, fire-worshipping ATF agents might’ve been one bridge too far down Conspiracy Road.
In the years since (and ramping up in recent years), I have of course run across many other such assertions—that the elite, members of government, powerful people on the political left, etc. are actual Satanists. My purpose here is not to assess such claims, but simply to note that the new statue of late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, which now sits atop a New York City courthouse, will only serve to make more people believe they’re true.
If an archaeologist were to dig up an idol in the desert that looks like this statue, the first impulse would be to presume it was some sort of fertility symbol: archetypal feminine “childbearing” hips, hourglass figure, slightly curved belly, and arched back.
But then, it’s not just any fertility symbol, is it? Medusa arms. Ram’s horns for hair. A stern face staring down from atop an incongruously feminine body. Is this trolling? Parody? Childish irreverence on the part of the sculptor? Actually demonic?
It does not need to be officially Satanic to be extremely creepy and more than vaguely threatening. Listen to the artist’s language. The left loves to claim that they are simply trying to upend “traditional representations of power” (presumably as white, male, etc.) and replace them with more ‘inclusive’ representations. But here’s the problem: following on from their ideological forebears, the cultural Marxists and subsequent Postmodernists, the left believes that power is all there is. Reason, meta-narratives, stable meaning of words, and a fixed morality do not exist—everything is just a power struggle among rival groups. Essentially, it is Voldemort’s formulation from the first Harry Potter movie: “There is no good or evil—only power, and those to weak to seek it.”
With this in mind, note the artist’s statement about a coming “cultural reckoning.” “Reckoning” is threat language. After a 170-year-climb, the left appears to be near the zenith of their political and social power. This statue is the apotheosis of that rise. It is a statement from the artist (and, symbolically, the whole of the leftist establishment) that they intend to use that power to bring about their “reckoning.” The creepiness of the statue, hovering over the busy streets of America’s greatest city, simply serves to drive the point home.
But don’t let them scare you. Power at its zenith often comes crashing down surprisingly quickly.
