The story so far...

What do the goddesses, heraldry, the foundlings trains, hermaphroditic birth and bees have in common? According to the official narrative nothing much, but I do not believe in it and neither should you.
Look at the children in this photo and tell me what you see. Who are they?

This is the coat of arms of the Foundlings Hospital in London.
There they are, the goddesses. Again, look at those children, notice anything peculiar about them?

Just look at them and then consider the sheer number of orphans on those foundlings trains appearing for all intents and purposes, out of nowhere. Empty cities repopulated, a clean slate, no memories or knowledge of what happened before the event. For the few who did remember

Desolate lives and deaths were often the fate of people with mental illnesses — real or supposed — in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An easy way to dispose of the ones who would resist, rebel, remember.

The system at work to get rid of the ones who could not be indoctrined, the ones who refused to take the pledge or receive the mark?

Good night.

Foundlings and Mud Flood in one photo, it is almost like someone or something wants me to continue this thread 🤔

Back to the bees and Napoléon.
The choice of the new symbols so as to make a clean break with the monarchy of the Ancien Régime proved difficult. Crétet proposed an eagle, a lion and an elephant. Cambacérès preferred bees since France was a republic with a head, like a hive;

The Bee
Symbol of immortality and resurrection, the bee was chosen so as to link the new dynasty to the very origins of France. Golden bees were discovered in 1653 in Tournai in the tomb of Childeric I, founder in 457 of the Merovingian dynasty and father of Clovis.

They were considered as the oldest emblem of the sovereigns of France.During the early afternoon hours of May 27, 1653, a blind and mute mason named Adrien Quinquin was toiling away on a church reconstruction project for the city of Tournai, when his shovel struck gold.

Just meters below the earth were leather bags full of gold coins. Then came a gold torc bracelet, jewel-encrusted weapons, a crystal ball, a gold bull’s head, harness fittings decorated in cloisonné enamel, a heavy signet ring, and over 300 stylized gold bees with garnet wings.

Adrien Quinquin, humble mason, had accidentally unearthed the tomb of Childeric I, the founder-king of the Merovingian dynasty, and a key figure in the founding myths of France.The Childeric treasures were stored in a cabinet at the Louvre and forgotten.

That is, until they came to the attention of Napoleon Bonaparte. He declared : "To be a king is to inherit old ideas and genealogy. I don’t want to descend from anyone.” For these reasons and more, Napoleonic era propaganda consistently burrowed material from ancient Rome,

On June 12th, the state council (Conseil d’État) convened to draw up the symbols of empire. The new regime required a heraldic animal and an emblem to adorn the new coat of arms. Various proposals emerged.After a month of wavering, Napoleon imposed the Eagle for his coat of arms

The first matter settled, the committee then puzzled over the emblem, which heretofore had been the ever ubiquitous fleur-de-lis. The council rejected the idea, believing the fleur-de-lis too intimately associated with the previous Bourbon monarchy. A clean break was needed.

It was then that Jean Jacques Régis de Cambacérès, another consul who had once shared power with Napoleon, brought up Childeric’s bees. The notion was brought up that the fleur-de-lis may have originally been Childeric’s bees, upside-down and stylized overtime to resemble lilies

The bee was proposed as an all-around winsome choice: it preserves the spirit of the fleur-de-lis, but overrides the Bourbon monarchy to connect with the Merovingian past, that period of junction when the Roman world bridged with that of the Franks.

Cambacérès remarked that bees suited the new regime just fine, for France will be a giant hive with Napoleon at the head. The bee became a symbol infused with power, its use reserved expressly for the Emperor and his inner circle. Anyone below the rank of High Officer were

forbidden to take up the bee; dukes had to be content with stars, and those below dukes content with neither bees nor stars.

It cannot be disputed that the Ancient Egyptians attached great religious and spiritual significance to the honey bee. Bees were associated with royalty in Egypt; indeed, as early as 3500 BC, the bee was the symbol of the King of Lower Egypt.

Bee and rush hieroglyph at Abydos. In royal nomenclature this hieroglyph generally precede the name of the Pharaoh, meaning " He who belongs to the rush and the bee". The rush being the emblem of Upper Egypt and the bee of Lower Egypt.

Certain lines in ancient rituals indicate that the Egyptians may have even believed that the soul of a man (his "ka", the part which continues after death) took the form of a bee. Another ritual from the Book of "Am-Tuat", compares the voices of souls to the hum of bees.

This god crieth out to their souls after he hath entered the city of the gods who are on their sand, and there are heard the voices of those who are shut in this circle which are like [the hum] of many bees of honey when their souls cry out to Ra.

In another ritual, contained in the "Salt Magical Papyrus", that bees were created from the tears of the sun-god Ra whom the Egyptians believed to be the creator of the earth and the sea. Ra's right eye was the sun, his left eye was the moon, and he caused the Nile to flood.

"When Ra weeps again the water which flows from his eyes upon the ground turns into working bees. They work in flowers and trees of every kind and wax and honey come into being."

A community of honey bees has often been employed by political theorists as a model of human society. This metaphor occurs in Aristotele and Plato; in Virgil and Seneca; in Erasmus and Shakespeare and in Bernard Mandeville's Fable of the Bees or Private Vices made public benefits

which influenced the economists Friedrich Hayek and John Maynard Keynes among others. Tolstoy similarly compares human society to a community of bees in War and Peace. Let’s conclude the Napoleonic role in this ramblings of mine.

Bees were used in Napoleonic heraldry. They were a reserved charge: no one could use a bee without a specific Imperial grant. Princes Grands Dignitaires received on a chief azure a semy of bees or as augmentation(Berthier de Wagram, Talleyrand, Bernadotte, Lebrun de Plaisance).

The most important cities of the Empire received a chief gules charged with three bees or: Paris, Aachen, Amsterdam, Bremen, Brussels, Cologne, Dijon, Florence, Genoa, Ghent, Hamburg, Lyon, Parma.

I'd like to thank you for bearing with me so far.
I could have just told you what my conclusion is about Resets, Mud flood, Foundlings trains and bees, but I believe that the journey is as important as the destination.
