Have you ever seen the NATO headquarters building?Located in Brussels‚ Belgium‚ the building was constructed in 2011 but most people have never seen it.especially not from above.Take a look:The NATO headquarters from above.From this perspective it looks a bit strangeYou see it? pic.twitter.com/RCJMh6i44S Sensef7reloaded (@MemementoGuy) April 3‚ 2024Here‚ maybe a little shading will help call it out:NATO headquarters is a bit on the nose. https://t.co/EIeYxJjfbo pic.twitter.com/QM5Y23cN61 SelfGoverned (@selfgovernedca) April 3‚ 2024Look like anything you recognize?I do believe that is the SS symbol used by these guys‚ do I have that correct?Look similar?The new NATO headquarters paying homage to their Nazi SS roots? pic.twitter.com/vD9Dj3V7hI BlokkiMedia (@BlokkiMedia) April 3‚ 2024From Grok:The NATO headquarters building has been subject to discussions and observations regarding its design‚ with some people pointing out visual similarities to Nazi SS imagery‚ specifically the SS lightning bolts. This perspective has been shared in various online platforms‚ including X posts (tweets) and web snippets‚ as detailed in the provided context. While there are assertions about the resemblance‚ it is also essential to consider that design interpretations can vary‚ and the intention behind the design might not align with such interpretations.Of course‚ the official story is that its just so artistic and thoughtful and is designed to show unity‚ peace and collaboration! Of course.The official story behind the design intent of the NATO headquarters building emphasizes a symbolic representation of unity‚ peace‚ and collaboration among the member nations. The design‚ featuring eight long and four short office wings intersecting with a central atrium‚ is described as fingers interlaced in a symbolic clasp of unity‚ reflecting NATOs changing mission from opposition and prevention to unification and integration. The building was designed to provide each of its 29 nations and 30 partner nations with embassy-level security‚ as well as spaces for meetings and collaboration. The use of natural light‚ state-of-the-art cogeneration units‚ geothermal heating and cooling systems‚ and rainwater collection and storage systems also highlight the buildings focus on sustainability and efficiency. This design was intended to provide NATO with a unique opportunity to transform its business practices and foster a sense of unity and interdependence among its member nations.Evolo Architecture writes the following:Following a groundbreaking ceremony this past December‚ work has begun on the Skidmore‚ Owings‚ and Merrill (SOM) designed NATO Headquarters in Brussels‚ Belgium. The stunning 460m headquarters will replace the temporary buildings have been in use since 1967. SOM was awarded the contract back in 2003 but it took seven years for construction to begin.SOM says of their design‚ Like fingers interlaced in a symbolic clasp of unity and mutual interdependence‚ the design for this international treaty organization headquarters represents its changing mission from opposition and prevention to unification and integration.SOM made a strong post-modern expression of solidarity in the form of the Headquarters‚ and infused the strength of design with a sense of inter-transparency in the incorporation of exterior glass facades and the heavy use of transparent interior materials.The NATO Secretary General sees the design as a desperately needed sign of permanence for NATO‚ saying In an unpredictable world‚ NATO is here to stay. And NATO will stay here in Brussels. Read the rest of this entry So‚ what do you think?Artistic and creative design?Or SS imagery?

Why is it that Woke Democrats constantly seem to be the ones pushing us into wildly racist policies?Oh they cry loudly about racism and discrimination.Always crying those big crocodile tears.But when you look at the fruit of their efforts‚ where does it always land us?BACKWARDS.Straight back into wildly racist actions.Heres the latest‚ and no this is not a satire article or from The Onion‚ although I wish it was.No‚ this is hard news.From Leo Terrell:Harvard holding multiple segregated graduation celebrations for marginalized and underrepresented communities https://t.co/XaqjSSNtup LeoTerrell (@TheLeoTerrell) April 4‚ 2024Yes‚ folks you read that right.Now read it again.Harvard holding SEGREGATED graduation ceremonies!Whats next‚ separate drinking fountains for blacks?Youve got to be kidding me with this crap!But sadly theyre not kidding.These intellectuals have their heads lodged so far up their own rectums that they cant even see the crazy irony in what they are doing.It reminds me so much of Romans 1:20-25 (NIV):For since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen‚ being understood from what has been made‚ so that people are without excuse.For although they knew God‚ they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him‚ but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.Although they claimed to be wise‚ they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.They exchanged the truth about God for a lie‚ and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creatorwho is forever praised. Amen.Isnt that spot on?More here:Harvard is gearing up for another year of Segregated Graduation celebrations‚ and this year they added a group they skipped last year pic.twitter.com/Uc20Dk6MzT Chris Plante Show (@ChrisPlanteShow) April 4‚ 2024Grok confirms:Yes‚ Harvard University is offering a series of affinity celebrations for its 2024 commencement‚ which some people refer to as segregated graduation celebrations. These celebrations are organized by the Harvard Office for Equity‚ Diversity‚ Inclusion‚ and Belonging and include separate ceremonies for different groups such as Black‚ Latinx‚ Asian American‚ Pacific Islander‚ and Desi-American (APIDA)‚ First Generation-Low Income‚ Jewish‚ and Veterans. This approach aims to recognize and celebrate the unique experiences and achievements of students from different backgrounds. Critics argue that such events promote racial segregation‚ while proponents believe they provide a space for marginalized and underrepresented communities to celebrate their accomplishments and experiences.LeoTerrell explains more:Harvard plans to hold a plethora of graduations for students in a segregated manner; Harvard Universitys Office for Equity‚ Diversity‚ Inclusion‚ and Belonging however‚ calls them affinity celebrations.Students will be segregated by the following celebrations:Disability Celebration‚ a Global Indigenous Celebration‚ an Asian American‚ Pacific Islander‚ Desi-American (APIDA) Celebration‚ a First Generation-Low Income Celebration‚ a Jewish Celebration‚ a Latinx Celebration‚ a Lavender Celebration which refers to LGBT students a Black Celebration‚ a Veterans Celebration‚ and an Arab Celebration.A note on the sign-up form shared with NR by a current student informs registrants that the Celebration Recognizing Arab Graduates‚ the Celebration Recognizing Jewish Graduates‚ and the Celebration Recognizing Veteran Graduates are being planned in collaboration with student groups and campus partners.The university will also hold the actual graduation‚ deemed a central commencement ceremony‚ for students of all backgrounds. National Review reports that ironically‚ The only publicly available mention of affinity celebrations on any Harvard website is published on the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences page. The note does not mention the specific events or groups recognized‚ simply describing them as student-led‚ staff-supported events that recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of graduates from marginalized and underrepresented communities.Harvards affinity-group celebrations came under fire in 2023 after the Manhattan Institutes Christopher Rufo posted the schedule on his X account and noted that the university had deleted the page from its website. He also mentioned in his post that white and Jewish students were the only two groups without their own events‚ though Harvard has now added Jews to the list‚ according to National Review.
