This Mirror, specifically, has been used as the centerpiece every year for children's themed Gingerbread Houses since Lyndon B. Johnson (who'd he have killed, again?) was in the White House.
Remembering a childhood visit to the White House, Mrs. Kennedy told Life magazine, "From the outside I remember the feeling of the place. But inside, all I remember is shuffling through. There wasn't even a booklet you could buy. Mount Vernon and the National Gallery and the FBI made a far greater impression." Many years later, as she prepared to move in, Mrs. Kennedy was again struck by the bland quality of the rooms. She began cultivating her plans for the restoration of the White House.
Just weeks after her husband's inauguration, Mrs. Kennedy enlisted the famed decorator Dorothy Parish, or "Sister" as she was widely known, to help with the restoration of the White House. Within two weeks, the $50,000 budget had been spent on refurbishing the private living quarters. Undaunted, Mrs. Kennedy turned to Winterthur, Henry du Pont's estate-turned-museum, located outside Wilmington, Delaware. She hoped to acquire some antique furniture by loan. Winterthur Director Charles Montgomery suggested the formation of a committee of informed and connected people whose goal would be to acquire antique furnishings for the White House. The Fine Arts Committee was born, and Henry du Pont, was made chairman. He was widely considered to be the greatest collector of Americana and the most qualified authority on the subject of American historical decoration at the time.
Mrs. Kennedy enlisted Life magazine to help promote the renovation of the White House. She helped prepare a fully illustrated article outlining her plans that ran in the September 1961 issue, and participated in an interview with Hugh Sidey, in which she stated, "Everything in the White House must have a reason for being there. It would be sacrilege merely to redecorate it—a word I hate. It must be restored, and that has nothing to do with decoration. That is a question of scholarship."
Mrs. Kennedy developed her vision for the White House restoration project over the next few months. In April 1961, advisory committee members Lyman Butterfield, editor of the John Adams papers and Julian Boyd, editor of the Thomas Jefferson papers, drafted a treatise entitled "The White House as a Symbol." The authors put forth three controlling principles for the restoration of the White House that ultimately influenced Mrs. Kennedy's plan. The first principle focused on the evolving nature of the White House and the importance of not limiting the style to one time period. The second principle dealt with the "living" character of the White House and the need to reflect the different administrations that had passed through. The third principle focused on the library as an integral part of the White House's symbolic and functional role. Inspired by these suggestions, Mrs. Kennedy decided to focus on the evolving character of the White House, rather than its earliest period, for restoration.
Well... Be thankful you're a jogger not a sprinter. The rate I go when I get into things like this burns me out.
But the mission parameter of - proving beyond reasonable doubt that the Baphomet is used as a centerpiece for "children's architecture" in the White House is now accomplished.
JFK is still a good guy, still an outsider, thus proving Q's point as he had nothing to do with this redecoration - but I have some YUUUuuuuGE questions about the morality and character of Jackie Kennedy/Onassis at this point. Either she was very ignorant of what she was doing, or she knew exactly what she was doing.
Thank you for the kind suggestion, more like a walker with a walker in most cases I fear.
Follow the Wives, wasn't expecting that at all and I wonder if she was actually aware though..... Probably.. in some capacity?
I gotta side with Jesus and assume she didn't actually know what she was doing and was following an ideal that was suggested to her as it seems to actually be with most. Few within seem to actually want to be within but stay (family, money, fear). I will hope for the best.
You can be forgiven, you're alright fren. Most of us can't even describe the symbology on the paper money in our pocket. Who is this guy and why do we except him wherever he goes?
All seeing eye of Providence. thank you, I wasn't aware of how popular the concept was and perhaps had it confused in many cases in the past.
They say it is God or a higher power, depending on who is saying it. Ra is one and Horus another (rage and rebirth) are other possible examples listed but I can kind of see them fitting as both eyes of God? Maybe it is just my understanding though.
I have a lot to learn!
Either way a symbol meant to embody God feels as a false idol to me.
The Eye of Horus reaches back through ancient Egyptian mysticism and beyond. One has to wonder if the founding fathers understood it deeply, or were they just throwing around symbols to impress people. That such an ancient and misunderstood symbol is central to our Great Seal of the United States is incomprehensible.
They Eye of Providence was said to be painted over Jesus in an early depiction. It is highly likely that "some" of these people were likely trying their best with what they had available to them, look at how easy it is to distort knowledge today. They did not have the internet back then.
That being said, Jesus said that there were to be no graven images of him, no depictions as he would have known how easy it would be to manipulate the masses around an image of God. As it is written today. We cannot forget how hard they tried to keep the bible from people back then and I am sure that part of it was likely people not knowing. so, "Forgive them Father for they no not what they do" rings all to true. It isn't a far stretch to believe that it was done purposefully in order to manipulate people away from the One True God and back into servitude as well. These things I do not know, but it is kind of what it looks like. Hindsight being 20/20 and all. It is our duty as believers to forgive the sinner and despise the sin. As sin is said to act on the person and isn't a part of the person. That is one reason why baptism, rebirth, was important. The old dies and the sin that was with the old dies with it. We are instructed to sin no more, or we allow those evil spirits access to God's Temple again.
You know that Washington was into some interesting things (Federalist, ewww.), he is even depicted as baphomet in some art. Did he know? Did he commission? Was it after his time and installed as a means to manipulate? Much I do not know.
Yes, I've been thinking handler for a while now, for Jackie. The reality of being trapped in a bad marriage, and having your children hostage, make breaking free a tough proposition. The events surrounding Trump's marriages are interesting as well. I wonder if Melania was played, or if she duped her handlers as well. Or possibly neutral, as Trump was never supposed to win anyway. Difficult to know.
If you twits with your comments think Jill Biden had anything to do with planning the decorations, guess again. She has been AWOL, just like a Joe. “Just what we need in the White House?” If you are talking about someone who props up a demented spouse playing President and condones sniffing and fondling children in public, yeh she has some “grace and dignity!” You are a bunch of ignorant buffoons! (Look at the comments under Jill’s “Faith Family and Friendship” for ignorant comments of praise.)

And here I was just the other day talking about how well I dig..... Egg on my face. I had no idea and I yell about DuPont (company) an awful lot.

Who could look at that and not think "WTF"?!?
Someone who was never exposed to their ideology and their symbolism. I doubt she was a big hunter, so it would easily pass as some random game animal.

It is true that one must seek knowledge to obtain it. It was kept hidden.

Excellent post, btw.
I would like to believe she didn’t know at the time, years later seeing her with the Clintons not so sure ...
