I believe the paper crane is also a nod to the propaganda campaign targeting children, which hit my schools as I was growing up.
The campaign was called "One Thousand Cranes" and children were meant to think touching things as they mass manufactured as many paper cranes as they could to honor some unproven death. I think, if memory serves, and it often doesn't, the death was that of a little girl who had supposedly succumbed to radiation caused by the faux Hiroshima and/or Nagasaki A-bombs.
To this day you can still see classrooms of well-meaning teachers who are trying to teach their children about artful acts of sympathy, who have a bunch of multi-colored origami cranes they are meant to have collected or sent to Japan or some other confusion of the story that doesn't matter because one main point was to get people to unconsciously focus on the terrible reality of a fictional atomic weapon.
EDIT: Alright, I just looked it up again and according to legend, the two year old girl named Sadako Sasaki (vaguely reminiscent of the term "sad sack"?) was blown out of a window by the Hiroshima blast, developed purple blotches later in life, which turned out to be leukemia, and subsequently a rash of leukemia cases exploded in the town. The tradition is that making a thousand cranes grants you a wish, and so while she was dying in a hospital ward, she folded 644 to wish for world peace and save people from atomic weapons, but she died, so her friends helped her finish the total. Teachers told millions of kids in the U.S.A. this tall tale and hence the art of the paper crane was appropriated for propaganda. Really makes me long for those little senses of wonder that religion and propaganda haven't tried to dominate.

POPE FRANCIS VISITS NATIONAL SEPTEMBER 11 MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM
You've gotta love this priceless sentence to be found on yahoo.com :
One of the first images of Pope "Hidden-Hand" Francis, soon after he was elected - pretending to be using public transport - 'just-like-everyone-of-us'...

Bring those colors together while peering through a looking glass, and find enlightenment, symbolized by a rainbow (seen here in the CluesChronicle main graphic).simonshack wrote:I'm all with the Pope! Let us all truly try and remember the colorS of the Manhattan sky on that September morning!
A piece of work that brings a smile to my face.
Re: National September 11 Memorial and Museum
Looks strangely like a cross between a "religious" painting and a scene from a film or tv show from circa 1978 AD. I doubt it's real. But who cares, about actors anyhow!?

A while ago I did an ELA of the subway picture using the highest quality version I could find. It looks pretty good, actually (by which I mean, it doesn´t look like a composite):
Now the other picture from the memorial is crass:

No, indeed it looks like a totally staged photo op! It looks like each person was selected just for that moment.Flabbergasted wrote:A keen observation.brianv wrote:Looks strangely like a cross between a "religious" painting and a scene from a film or tv show from circa 1978 AD.

Of course, knowing a camera is on you has an immediate psychological effect on a lot of people in media-saturated cultures, but still — eerie. Is it wrong to assume a Catholic PR committee directed and staged this scene from people available in the crowd — or even brought in the occasional outside "average person"?

As brianv observed, it has the feel of people sitting for a painting. It´s dreamy and ominous at the same time, as if saying "it´s no use squirming, it will happen and you cannot prevent it".

Re: National September 11 Memorial and Museum
Sorry, I didn't mean to derail the thread with "fake photos", but know them by their actions! The man known as "the pope" to those zombie cultists, is clearly a media stooge and someone who tells lies, and supports others who tell lies, in the cause of deceiving the human population at large. Something like their own "satan" in fact.
