The stage is shaped identically with the ODAL Rune - a symbol adopted by the Nazis.

That’s because when everyone was watching the London Olympics opening ceremony, the Illuminati used their memory erasing technology on all the viewers, and anyone who hasn’t been watching was dismissed as a "conspiracy theorist"...

Perhaps the media would be better going after those killing 8 year old girls & others, giving race power salutes, breaking shop windows and looting complaining that certain groups are over-represented in employment etc, forcing people out of their jobs because they don't follow them. But the media are never going to go after BLM, the left, and the liberals, are they?
How can it be upside down? It's horizontal, it's a stage.

Re: US CPAC raisess hackles.

I think people just see what they want to see, and love to argue about anything they can.

If you're looking from the audience(ie the viewers) then it's upside down compared to the nonsense about any symbol.

Re: US CPAC raisess hackles.

If you're looking from the audience, you can't see the shape, as the stage is level with their eyeline...

I'm quite sure, from what I see of some of Trump's followers that the design was quite deliberate. I don't think Trump is a Nazi sympathiser, but he's bad enough to take any type of follower.

But if you’re an invited speaker and you enter the stage from either of the openings at the back, you would immediately see you were walking on to an odal rune shape, the right way up.

I have no idea whether it was deliberate on the part of the conference organisers, or on the part of the set designer, or if it’s all a big coincidence. But there’s no doubt that the shape is visible to anyone contributing to the conference.

Sorry I have to disagree.

I have never heard of an Odal Rune until mentioned on here. How many people have heard of it as well, not many?

I should say I make model kits (including German armour) and try to keep figures as accurate as possible and this shape has never come up in my searching

As it was used by the 7th SS Volunteer Mountain Division Prinz Eugen and the 23rd SS Volunteer Panzer Grenadier Division Nederland, as well as the SS-Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamt unless you were researching them it wouldn't come up.

Nor had I, which is why, if it was deliberate, it was a dog-whistle reference that would only mean something to those “in the know”.

Re: US CPAC raisess hackles.

Since it is one of the lesser known symbols I doubt it was intentional.

Plenty of American institutions I noticed use the Fasces (the bundle of sticks with an axe) in their symbols. Why? Because these institutions predate fascism and took the same symbols from the Romans that Mussolini adapted.

Strange how no one complains about the New York school of law.
