The Statue of Lady Unliberated

The Statue of Liberty's original name was Liberty Enlightening the World, how about I enlighten you on our so called symbol of American Liberty ...

The American unveiling of the Statue of Liberty in 1886 was one of the most excited news events of the century. Although, while visiting the statue in New York, I was pissed to learn the presence of women on Liberty island at the dedication ceremony was strictly forbidden. No women were allowed on the island for the unveiling, except for creator, Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi’s wife and the Chairman of the French committee’s daughter. I found this to be a little ironic since the Statue of Liberty is a woman. But our American women did not have any intention on missing the show. So they chartered their own boats, circling in protest and got as close to the island as they could get. While Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and his work crew were busy building the statue into a symbol of liberty, none of the women in France or the United States enjoyed equal rights or fair social and political liberties. France was one of the last European nations to give women the right to vote.
For Immigrants and African Americans, the Statue Of Liberty is supposed to be a symbol of freedom, yet none of the speeches by U.S. President Grover Cleveland or other officials at the dedication mentioned a single word about immigrants.
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi was a member to the brotherhood of Freemasonry. The Freemason's were a “no women allowed” organization. The Statue of Liberty was conceived, financed, built, and installed by Freemasons in a Freemasonic ceremony.

There are many theories about who our Lady Liberty really is, but unfortunatly Bartholdi took this information to the grave with him . I have now, two of the most interesting points on the identity of the statue that I was able to dig up.

MARY MAGDALENE
Mary Magdalene is a woman without a past. The gospels are strangely silent about where she came from, what she looked like, who her family was, how she was educated or what she did to support Jesus and the disciples ‘out of her own means’. The information blackout has provoked speculation that the Bible’s leading lady had something sinister to hide. Did the early church suppress the truth about Mary Magdelene as Dan Brown suggests in The Da Vinci Code?
Many speculators wonder why the public has failed to notice or even question the odd shape of Liberty’s body. Draped in a classical Greek robe, her body pokes out at the midsection like a woman during early stages of pregnancy. They say that her bloated belly cannot be explained away as the bulky folds of her robe. Since Lady's face, neck and arm region are trim and fit, so we can rule out her being a plus size model. With this being said, her robe should hang down in a straight line, not arc out at the midriff. Some ask, did Bartholdi intentionally build his statue to appear pregnant beneath her robe? Some say that Frederic Auguste Bartholdi was trying to enshrine the pregnant Mary Magdelene in his Statue of Liberty. Many wonder if he was delivering the same subliminal message that Da Vinci and other artists passed down through their own masterpieces, the message that Mary Magdelene conceived a child fathered by Jesus...

THE WHORE OF BABYLON?
To solve the mystery of Lady Liberty’s identity, researchers puzzled together key quotes from the Bible and concluded that Lady Liberty must be the ‘Whore of Babylon’ as described in the Book of Revelation and Isaiah. Biblical quotes from Revelation and Isaiah describe this mystery woman as a Queen, a harlot, a virgin and a lady who holds a golden cup in her hand. She is referred to as “the Lady” and “Lady Liberty”. Like the ‘Whore of Babylon’, the Statue Of Liberty is wearing the crown of a Queen. Some say that Lady Liberty's seven spiked crown symbolizes the seven continents and the seven seas of the Earth just as the mystery woman described in the Book of Revelation rules over seven mountains (continents) and over the waters (seven seas). Originally, she held a golden cup globe flame in her outstretched hand until New York City authorities replaced it with a natural gas "torch light".
Similar to the mystery woman of Revelation, the Roman goddess Libertas was called a whore and the mother of harlots, yet she was also called the virgin daughter of Babylon. The Romans worshipped Isis between 600 and 400 B.C and renamed her Libertas, meaning liberty. The concepts of virgin and whore appear to be contradictory during this time. But in ancient times, Isis or Ishtar introduced the practice of holy prostitution and holy sex. Sex became a holy ritual for removing sin. In return for holy sex performed by her 'priestesses' which translates to prostitutes, Isis received a coin-offering which we call money. Those who disapproved of Isis and her holy sex-for-money rituals called her the “Whore of Babylon” and the “Mother of Harlots”.
Like the mystery woman of Babylon, the Statue of Liberty symbolizes both a woman and a city. It is only fitting that an alluring statue of the ‘Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth’ should stand astride a world-renowned port beckoning the world to enter her. Since she was first erected in 1886, Lady Liberty has been entered by millions of strangers for the price of a cheap harlot.
