Shared Original post by Francis
UPDATE: hi y’all this post is definitely crazy. I shared it from somebody on my feed the other day . The other day had no clue who the original author was since then i have been well made aware of it which is awesome. Her words are fabulous and she deserves credit.
I have tagged her in the post so just know these are not my words. Also I have a day job and other things so unlike alot of folks im not online all the time so responding to every poster isnt happening …. So not my words but I just thought they were amazing and wanted to share them, I’ve also reached out to the person who I got it from to let them know that they need to give the original author MarLa Francis credit she desreves . So to all the folks thinking, I wrote this it was not me also to all the idiots who are spamming me with Hate / death threats and vitriol please kindly p**s off 🙂
Dearest Gentle Reader,
I’m about to step on some toes in regard to the Opening Ceremony at the Paris Olympics.
The headless woman was Marie Antoinette. She ruled over France and was found guilty of treason, conspiracy, and stealing from the country.
Sound familiar?
Also, it was not the Last Supper. It was a depiction of an ancient Greek Bacchanal… because, you know, the Olympics are ancient and Greek. Surprise!
And if you didn’t know, a Bacchanalia is an uncontrollably promiscuous, extravagant, and loud party. The parties often spanned several days which honored the god of wine, Bacchus (the blue guy covered in grape vine). He is also known as Dionysus, the Greek god of fertility, later known as the god of wine and pleasure.
And finally, it was not Death on a pale horse. It was Sequana, Goddess of the Seine, the River in which the boat precession took place. She was meant to be the representation of the Olympic spirit and of Sequana.
If some of you weren’t so busy trying to end the Dept. of Education, you might know this.
Loosen the clutch on your pearls.
Yours truly,
Lady Francis
