I tried running it through one of those online forensic tools but it seems like they only detect digital manipulation, not old fashioned cut and paste. Anyway, I have something new to add. I have been reading
Norman's New Orleans and Environs from 1845 for the main thread. I was about to close the case on this column and declare it a smokestack when I came across the following weird passage describing a gas works:
I think the book was written by the spook resetters who were prepping the city for repopulation. You will have to read Part Eight of my series on New Orleans (will post today or tomorrow) to get the full argument for that. For now I find it highly suspicious that a gas works would make their chimney look like Trajan's Column:
There are no photos of the chimney as far as I know. If it ever really existed, it doesn't anymore.
Sounds fishy to me. Why would the gas works spend a lot of money making on something like this? Note that the column in Rome is
hollow and could presumably be transformed easily into a functioning chimney, as per the idea of Trismegistus that the Mint was possibly built around the column and not vice versa.
