I still don't see any evidence of conspiracy, and you have provided no evidence to refute my previous post, so I guess I'll move on to your next
one.
You keep using symbols without regard to time or place. The use of a fasces has no connection between the U.S. and fascism as you describe it because
it was not used by modern day movements until after the symbol was already integrated into our architecture. That it was used in Rome is completely
unsurprising, since much of our capital architecture is based off of Rome. There is no conspiracy in that, just the need by the architects to convey a
sense of power and authority - what else would you EXPECT a national capital to convey? Concurrently, all this assumes that wikipedia is accurate
(since that is what you rely on to explain symbols) - which I highly question. In any case, the point remains.
Your next post about the square and compass seems highly questionable, at best. The shape of a square and compass itself and the fact that it is not a
closed shape means that you can find it hundreds or maybe even thousands of cities, because streets are laid out in lines that crisscross, and they
don't always come in at perfect right angles. Additionally what you did was arbitrarily define the starting and ending points of the shape - all this
proves so far is you wanted to find a square and compass in the city streets - and behold, you have done so. I could just as easily find an "S"
shape in the streets by picking random points (and one of the points is bound to fall on a building of importance - this is, after all, Washington).
Does this mean that there is evidence OF A S-TORMPK CONSPIRACY IN THE CAPITAL STREETS?
My eyebrow is yet to be raised.
