Hi Peter - Is there a specific Substack post where you wrote about your 'awakening' related to January 6th? You have referenced it a couple of times stating that you recognized that you were an asset (as part of your pyramid hierarchy). I have made some assumptions, but am more interested in the specifics given that I follow many on X and Substack that are in your same circle (current and past). Always interested in hearing about individual's more personal interactions with those that some of us only see from afar. I love your work and the frameworks/models that you provide to help bring order to the chaos :) TY!

No, but I often get inspiration from comments like this, so I’ll write it up! (with photos).

That would be fabulous! Happy to inspire the inspired ;) I really enjoyed your post on Scott Adams (the original one and commented on it a month or two ago) and found it both revealing and confirming. Many thanks!

I understand Trump wants to build a new monument jn DC? Does this signify a break from the past?

Does the arc de triomphe show any hints of greek or phoenician mythology?

AI response :-\

While the Arc de Triomphe is primarily a neoclassical tribute to French military history, it heavily incorporates Greek mythology through allegorical figures and its broader context. However, there are no documented links to Phoenician mythology.

Hints of Greek Mythology

Minerva (Athena): The relief of Peace (by Antoine Etex) is dominated by Minerva, the goddess of victory and wisdom, who is depicted with a helmet and spear.

Pheme & Victoria (Nike): The spandrels of the main archway feature figures of Pheme (the personification of fame) and Victoria (the winged goddess of victory, known as Nike in Greek mythology).

Heroic Nudity: The sculptural programme uses "heroically nude warriors," a direct stylistic nod to Greek artistic traditions intended to elevate soldiers to the status of mythical heroes.

The "Champs-Élysées": The avenue the arch stands upon is named after the Elysian Fields, the final resting place for heroic and virtuous souls in Greek mythology.

Architectural & Contextual Connections

Roman Foundations: The arch was inspired by the Roman Arch of Titus, which itself drew from Hellenistic (Greek) design principles.

The "Judgement of Paris": While unrelated to the monument's design, the name of the city is often playfully associated with Paris of Troy from the Trojan War myth, a story that appears in exhibitions at the nearby Louvre Museum.
