Agents of Chaos

In history and fiction, the forces of evil are often shown as spreading chaos and conflict. As Christ noted in Luke 11:17: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against an house falleth." I came across an example of this in the following news article: "Tiny picturesque town Littleton, NH, tears itself apart over 'subversive messaging' in LGBT murals painted on the side of a main street apartments: 'I don't want them here'." Even in small towns (Littleton is mentioned as having a population of 6,000), you cannot escape the cultural wars tearing the country apart. 

    The gist of the story is that a group called North Country Pride planned and paid for some murals to be painted on an old building in the town, ostensibly to combat urban blight. But the murals (there are three different ones shown in the article) have raised the ire of many locals including a local politician. And where the town had apparently gotten along fairly well before the murals despite political differences, the murals and resulting controversy has exposed fault lines within the community. 

    The first mural shown in the story is of a white iris, roots and all, with a rainbow halo sprouting around the flower. Plant roots, when used in art, generally represent the essence of life. A white iris traditionally represents purity. The rainbow represents the "diversity" of different groups in the LGBTQ community, although in the original LGBT flag the colors represented attributes; e.g., pink represented sexuality. Taken together, the purity sprouting up out of the source of life, but surrounded by the rainbow, appears to represent the grooming of children.

    The second mural shown is of a dandelion, again root and all, growing up through a book, with two yellow blossoms and a seed ball in the middle. In the sky behind the plant are other seeds drifting in the sky. The dandelion, I understand, generally embodies themes of hope, strength, overcoming diversity, and transformation. Given the interplay of elements here, I believe that this mural is symbolic of the LGBTQ philosophies and culture essentially gaining hold despite a book (the Bible?) or perhaps through a book (literature and academia?) and spreading out into the world--in other words, a celebration of the successful propagandizing of the LGBTQ cult.

    The third and final mural shown in the article is of two tree trunks, with intertwined branches, with a crescent moon in the center. The crescent moon has historically and across many cultures represented the feminine and various attributes associated with the feminine. Although only the branches are intertwined, not the trunks, intertwined trees have historically represented the coming together of two souls, such as through marriage. Given the prominence of the crescent moon, this mural seems to be specifically celebrating lesbians. 

    Just be aware that the members of the LGBTQ cult represent a fifth column that may very well turn on you and yours when the next civil war comes.
