But Have You Heard About?
So Where is the Statue of Liberty?
Mar 25, 2021 Season 2 Episode 9
Courtney and her cool friends

On this new conspiracy theory episode, I am joined by my friend Jess because I needed someone that's actually been to the statue of liberty 🗽

Where is Lady Liberty located? Is it... Ellis island? You'd be wrong. It's not on the same island where immigrants came during the 1800s. Islands are small, it wouldn't be able to be there. Liberty Island is where it is actually located, a name fitting for the statue to be there. But, there are so many paintings and pictures that point to it at one point being on the same island. 

Have you been to the statue and taken a tour? What was the highest point you've gone to? The crown? The torch? A podium? For those that remember going to the torch, you must be 100+, because no one has been allowed into the torch since the Black Tom explosion in 1916. Have you heard about that? The only attack on US ground between the War of 1812 and Pearl Harbor. I hadn't heard about it, which is more surprising than I want to admit. But, because of this attack at the Statue of Liberty, no one but maintenance has been in the torch. What do we make of the photos of those that have "visited" and taken photos from the torch? Was that a mirage? A dream?  Collective memories as well as false memories can create an impact on how we perceive experiences we've had. It's just a strange, strange world out there.
