The Statue of Liberty represents the ancient Babylonian goddess of love and fertility, Ishtar. Ishtar is known as the Mother of Harlots because prostitution was part of her religious practices. She was worshipped as Astarte in the Middle East. Scriptures call her Ashtoreth, and she was known in Latin as Libertas, liberty. Libertas was referred to by Cicero, a Roman historian, as the Mother of Harlots. “Liberty” in ancient times was associated with sexual freedom and temple prostitution. Historian R.A. Coombes writes, “Harlots were social outcasts, so she was referred to as the Mother of Exiles.” This later equated with the idea of immigration becoming the Mother of Immigrants.
Exactly! Once you know the origin of the statue and the fact that is was created and gifted to the US by the Freemasons it takes on a whole new meaning.
Rev. 17:1 (KJV) - And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters.
Funny how the background story can come to haunt you. Just like the deep dive on the layout of Washington DC. It is very symbolic of the dark occult magik. Hopefully, we'll all be ready for the deep rabbit hole soon.
Wait till they reveal what's under DC. It might put a few in the hospital.
Come and get it 🫏🕳️
That's my attitude. Use your world-famous French large-scale moving assets and personnel and engineering expertise.
They'd probably contract China to do it for them and then some or all of the statue would either end up at the bottom of the Atlantic or melted for the copper in some obscure Chinese scrap dealer.
Come and take it- we’ll replace it with a DJT statue twice the size. That “lady” statue looks more like tranny Lucifer.
🤣🤣🤣
Lol...the lefties just don't get it.
How much did France spend on the Statue of Liberty? Sauce/ Grok 3.0
The exact cost of the Statue of Liberty as funded by France is difficult to pinpoint with precision due to the historical context, varying economic conditions, and incomplete records. However, historical estimates provide a general idea of the expenditure. The construction of the Statue of Liberty, including its design and fabrication, was financed through a combination of public donations, fundraising events, and contributions from the French government and private entities. The statue was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its internal iron framework was engineered by Gustave Eiffel. The project began in the 1870s and was completed in 1886 when it was presented to the United States. In French currency at the time, the cost is estimated to have been around 250,000 francs. To put this into perspective: In the late 19th century, the exchange rate fluctuated, but a rough average was approximately 5 francs to 1 U.S. dollar. This would suggest the cost in U.S. dollars was approximately $50,000 at the time.
Adjusting for inflation and economic differences, this amount in 1880s dollars would equate to roughly $1.5 million to $2 million in today's U.S. dollars (as of 2025), though such conversions are imprecise due to changes in purchasing power, labor costs, and material values over time.
The funding in France came from various sources: Public donations: French citizens contributed through subscriptions and lotteries.
Fundraising events: These included exhibitions of the statue's components (e.g., the torch and head were displayed at events like the 1878 Paris Universal Exposition to raise money and awareness).
Government and private contributions: While the French government did not fully fund the project, it provided some support, and wealthy donors also contributed.
This estimate does not include the cost of the pedestal, which was funded separately by the United States through a campaign led by Joseph Pulitzer, raising over $100,000 (equivalent to about $3 million today). While these figures are approximations based on historical records and economic conversions, they reflect the significant effort and investment France made to create and gift the Statue of Liberty to the United States as a symbol of friendship between the two nations.
The law states in every country if you give a gift you cannot take it back, so suck it up a hole.
