Has Drogheda Become an Islamic Caliphate?
A Most Curious Reinterpreation of the Town’s Coat of Arms
”Chief Executive, Meath County Council, Kieran Kehoe explains “Meath County Council is proud to support the installation of these exceptional new sculptures at Southgate, which now serve as a striking and symbolic gateway to Drogheda and the wider Boyne Valley. This project exemplifies the power of collaboration between local authorities, community groups and artists. We commend Drogheda Tidy Towns for their leadership and vision in delivering a public artwork that celebrates our cultural heritage, enhances the public realm and fosters a strong sense of place and local pride.” SOURCE > > >
As a Pagan myself, I would normally be pleased with such a piece of public art, except why did the artist rotate the town’s star and crescent insignia (which has nothing to do with Islam) to make it more overtly resemble the star and crescent of Islam? This brings up a few issues. Firstly, even as a non-Christian, I would be cynical about how only this particular branch of the Abrahamic religions being exclusively represented. Considering Drogheda’s deep connection to Catholicism and Saint Oliver Plunkett. Also, the Islamic design sits atop the sculpture as if this is the supreme spiritual overlord of the town of Drogheda. As if one is being told to submit to Islam if one is a resident or visitor to the town?
Here is what the town's coat of arms looks like. Notice the artistic rotation for no apparent reason. Even though in terms of symmetry the original star and crescent moon design would have sit more aesthetically pleasing within the overall design rather than the curiously rotated version used.
Giving the middle finger to the people and Irish history. Replacement symbolism.
WOW! That just smacks ya right upside the head! Stunning… just fucking stunning… your wave function collapse model continues to hold true. I recall gettin into this new world with the speech codes, safe spaces, and warnings about Islamization — that was on the “upside” of the wave…. now on the downward slope we have a repeat which is the “enantiomer” or “mirror image” of that phenomena…. The good news is that the edifice is crumbling. The problem, at least for me, is that many of the strategies I had for navigating “the world” or planning for “the future” are not fit for purpose. I work diligently to better understand the true nature of “reality.” To creat, build my consciousness firewall, to block out the noise… but holy fuck… some days the challenge seems insurmountable. Thank you Thomas… your videos continue to be a precious resource. Last Sunday I played my way through the Wave Function Collapse series — they remain true gems. Best — CiC
