The Reflecting Pool Reflects Trump's Soul
A hallmark of occult, or at least secretive, activity is when an apparently insignificant story gets major play in the headlines. Thus, I took notice when President Trump’s repairs to the White House reflecting pool was a major headline for the last 3-4 months. Journalists kept jabbering that the pool was… Green! Still green! A month later and it’s green again! “We go live to the Lincoln reflecting pool… here is the National Parks worker slowly pouring hydrogen peroxide into the pool, in a last-ditch effort turn the pool BLUE instead… Coming up, we have AI tech companies discussing their breakthroughs in nanotechnological pool cleaning systems…”
What was going on? Was this some kind of spiritualist invocation at Iran? (Very unlikely, but there is a monthlong window during which this Narrative could have applied political pressure against the Zionists.)
Reflecting pools themselves are a major occult symbol, being a physical representation of the Second Hermetic Principle “as above, so below”.
h ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_above,_so_below
“As above, so below” is a popular modern paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet, a short Hermetic text which first appeared in an Arabic source from the late eighth or early ninth century. The paraphrase is based on one of several existing Latin translations of the Emerald Tablet… “That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above.”
Among historians of philosophy and science, the verse is often understood as a reference to the supposed effects of heavenly bodies upon terrestrial events. This would include the effects of the Sun upon the change of seasons, or those of the Moon upon the tides, but also more elaborate astrological effects.
Following its use by prominent modern occultists such as Helena P. Blavatsky (1831–1891, co-founder of the Theosophical Society) and the anonymous author of the Kybalion (often taken to be William W. Atkinson, 1862–1932, a pioneer of the New Thought movement), the paraphrase started to take on a life of its own, becoming an often cited motto in New Age circles.

The Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool. Also pointing both “up” and “down”. Obelisks are a standard symbol of Sun God worship dating back to ancient Egypt, as mentioned above. Thus, the interpretation of the Lincoln Memorial, of Lincoln enthroned and looking across a reflecting pool at the Washington Monument, is that Lincoln was the completer of the nation Washington had started.
But that is a lie, if you look at the timeline. The pool was constructed between 1914 and 1922, timed with the Jewish banker-conquest of the United States rather than Lincoln’s conquest of the Confederacy. Indeed, the period between the Appomattox Courthouse and construction of the Lincoln Memorial was hallmarked by a series of financial crises resulting in, among other events, the Federal Reserve’s establishment and the ascension of the Rothschild banking cartel. The North didn’t conquer the South, the Foreigner conquered the South by promising the North the empire many of its rulers had always wanted. But I digress. Let’s talk about Current Year.
The controversy over the pool centered its poor maintenance, specifically its being algae-green. On the one hand, this is a perennial problem with reflecting pools, them being standing pools of shallow water, so it shouldn’t be noteworthy. On the other hand, this particular pool has been noteworthy like that for months.
What is the occult significance of the color green, in this context?
Trump announces renovation project for Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool with an ‘American flag blue’ coating
Trump said he called a few pool contractors he knows from past real estate projects

President Donald Trump is having the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool coated in a swimming pool surface hued in “American flag blue,” covering up a decades-old granite surface that he said was “leaking like a sieve” and would take years to replace.
Leaking 30 million gallons per year, including evaporation.
But Trump is an Israeli patriot, not an American patriot… would this be blue-bordered-by white like the Israeli flag? Certainly, him telling America his motivation is pro-America, counts as more of a red flag.
Green is the color of American money, of course, but Trump is an infamous goldbug.
The president announced the renovation at an Oval Office event Thursday, saying the coating had already begun. He was inspired to tackle the project after a friend visited from Germany and lamented that the water was filthy and looked disgusting, Mr Trump said. “And I went over there with Secret Service in tow, and I said, isn’t that a shame? That’s terrible,” he added, showing reporters a photo of the site as it undergoes work.
The project is one more makeover refashioning the nation’s capital to Mr Trump’s liking, following alterations such as the demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make room for a new ballroom. Lined with stately elm trees between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, the reflecting pool is one of the most iconic sites in the capital. It’s where Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963.
Little-known fact: in 1939, singer Marian Anderson was denied permission to perform at Constitution Hall in Washington because she was black, per wikipedia. The symbolism of King giving his speech there was not entirely occult.
In Trump’s telling, the reflection pool project is a case study in business acumen. The president said he scrapped plans to have the granite replaced, which he said was estimated to cost $301 million and would take at least three years.
Instead, Trump said he called a few pool contractors he knows from past real estate projects — “I have a guy who’s unbelievable at doing swimming pools up the road,” Trump said.
How odd they didn’t name Pool Guy. Wait, this was a no-bid public contract to a personal friend of Donald? Uh-oh.
Utterly Absurd Contractor Behind Reflecting Pool Renovation Disaster

A business tied to a longtime Trump donor was given the no-bid contract to clean up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool this spring, reported The New York Times.
The filtration work of the Ohio firm, ironically called Greenwater Services, has come under scrutiny because … well. You’ve seen the pool.
Yeah, it’s… pond-scum green…
Greenwater Services is owned by the J.J. Carafo Investment Trust, led by John J. Carafo. Carafo is a longtime Republican donor who Trump has described as a “fantastic man.” Carafo, who has previously skirted campaign finance law, also pleaded guilty in 2001 to conspiracy to bribe Democratic Representative James A. Traficant Jr.
The occult meaning of green water in the Lincoln reflecting pool is… Greenwater Services, a landscaping company owned by a corrupt friend of Orange Kike. My studies into the occult continue to amaze and disappoint. GunnerQ closes a browser tab discussing ancient Arabic beliefs linking the color green to luck.
Man, we don’t even get James Bond-quality villains anymore. Carafo is an Ohio-based real estate plutocrat, although he has since retired to Florida, donated $650k to Trump’s elections and is a next-door neighbor at Mar-A-Lago. An open-and-shut case of top-level cronyism.
Jim Traficant might hold the national record for being the last Congressman in American history to be removed from office for financial corruption, in 2002. He certainly holds the record for being the only subject of a RICO Act prosecution (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) to be found not guilty while representing himself. He was a Sheriff in Ohio at the time. “Yes, I did take those bribes, but only as part of an undercover investigation. I had to maintain my cover!”
The $1.7 million contract was directly awarded to Carafo’s company by the National Park Service, bypassing the usual competitive bidding process. Katie Martin, a spokesperson for the Interior Department, said the department did not know about Carafo’s political affiliation when his firm was hired.
“This company was selected because they had the expertise, work force and materials” needed to finish the job by the country’s 250th anniversary, she told the Times.
Because the president wants the reflecting pool “American Flag Blue” by July 4, other firms have been hired for their ability to complete jobs on a short timeline, like Virginia firm Atlantic Industrial Coatings, which was given a no-bid contract of $14.7 million to put bright blue waterproofing material on the pool’s floor. That paint is already peeling.
At which point, the story stops being funny.
Olympian arrested at Reflecting Pool says ‘I did not damage’ anything

Three-time U.S. Olympian David Hearn told ABC News that police arrested him on Friday after he touched a piece of blue coating that was partially detached from the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
Hearn said he went on a bike ride on Friday afternoon and stopped by the Reflecting Pool as a “curious, concerned citizen”. Given his background in materials science, Hearn says he was interested to see the situation for himself after reading about reports of algae in the water and paint peeling off.
“I saw a piece of this loose end of this blue coating. I reached out and touched the end of that piece that was loose but still attached to the bottom,” Hearn told ABC News. “I was able to reach out and touch the edge of that that was still attached at the bottom and handled it a little bit.”
Hearn, who represented the U.S. in canoeing, said he was able to feel and bend the coating a bit.
“I did not remove, I did not damage, I did not rip, tear, break, destroy or harm any part of the Reflecting Pool,” Hearn said.
I believe him because the police said nothing about him having tools on his person. Without tools, the odds of inflicting damage to such a pool are nil. “The lining unraveled when he pulled on a loose end!” would say much more about the convicted-felon contractor than the bicyclist.
Hearn said as he was touching the material, a National Park Service employee told him to stop touching it. He said he then walked back to his bike where National Guardsmen told him that the Park Police wanted to talk to him.
My current count is 7 people arrested, a further 18 police reports filed but not yet acted upon, and the National Guard has been deployed to protect the reflecting pool from the ‘tourism-terrorists’ mucking it up with their fingers.
Never mind that a pristine reflecting pool would still be reflecting a lot of pond scum, being located in the Beltway.
“I had no idea I was about to be arrested,” Hearn said. “They didn’t say they were charging me, but they did start to handcuff me. They did not ever read me my rights. They did not allow me any phone calls for the ensuing five hours, and they did not detail the charges that were going to be leveled against me.”
Hearn is set to appear in court on July 9.
Police don’t have to read you your rights until they want to question you, and even then it’s not the mandate it once was. If your arrest is a political one then they’re well-motivated to just make useful assumptions while filing the paperwork.
Here is a picture from a surveillance video released to the public for help in identifying one of the “saboteurs” of the reflecting pool. The grainy image quality is original, not me. Who knew that the National Mall’s security system near the White House is of lower quality than a doorbell from Walmart? Either the wealthiest nation on Earth, foremost in military signals intelligence, can’t afford better site security than a potato from the 1980s, or the quality of the video was intentionally degraded in order to support Trump’s sabotage Narrative without risking any (more) false accusations.
What a national disgrace… and the pool is clearly reflecting that.
