About the Fasces: You are 100% correct about one of the aspects in the Symbolism from Etruscan Culture. There is more that I think should be mentioned. You wrote:

"The fasces had its origin in the Etruscan civilization and was passed on to ancient Rome, where it symbolized a Roman king's power to punish his subjects. The fasces, as a bundle of rods with an axe, was a grouping of all the equipment needed to inflict corporal punishment (scourge with rods) or capital punishment (decapitate with axes)."

Here's my take on this symbolism: The Axe represents the projection of "Discipline." As you say, it does represent the power to punish; but notice that the Sticks that are "together" that form the handle of the axe. There are "Many" in a society; the individual stick represents the Individual in a Society. When many Individuals come together, they are stronger and form a Collective strength to enforce what rules there may be. There are "Two Ways" they are together; either willingly or by compulsion. This is a symbol of what Collectivism is; it always needs to be Enforced in order to continue to exist. A collective can also exist if people Conscientiously agree to Cooperate, but that requires Consent. Ask what type of sinew is lashing those sticks together, is it Voluntary Cooperation or is it Compulsory Collectivism? These symbols can be read many different ways, this is just my take on it.

The Double Headed Phoenix Heraldry of the European Royals originated from the Royal Scyths of Khazaria; "One shall Govern in Front, One shall Rule from Behind." Once people begin to see this, they will no longer be fooled, hopefully everyone will rescind their "Consent."

The WHO can dry up on the vine and twist in the wind.

The Fasces is also found in the Great Seal of Colorado:

Also an important Roman symbol to acquaint oneself with is the Invidia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invidia

The "All-seeing eye." Also, Envy. A deadly sin:

Invidia. Look familiar? Like NVidia, the tech company setting record highs in the stock market. The name isn't a coincidence:

Why is NVidia stock soaring? It makes the best CPU for emerging AI technology, the natural evolution of videogaming. One of NVidia's founders started another one of those benevolent charitable trusts. The Priem Foundation:

Priem Foundation's largest recipient of donations is EMPAC. EMPAC is developing human-computer interfaces:

Human-computer interfaces are the prerequisite to transhumanism:

But bringing it all back to the Fasces. The term Fasces is associated with power, strength. As in strong governance/rule. Related to the Fascinus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascinus

And its symbolic strength has also been used to protect from Invidia, the all-seeing eye, envy:

Along with protection from illness and disease:

Understanding that masks have no medical efficacy, as a Non-Pharmaceutical Intervention its only power has been that of a symbol. To be fearful of disease. "Stay Away. Fear the invisible enemy!" Because the epidemiologists practicing Behavioral Science (aka "BS") diagnosed the unsophisticated, uneducated, selfish masses early on as suffering from "optimism bias." And wrote us the prescription of "fear amplification" to remedy our optimism. Another term for fear amplification is "terrorize."

When a simple Winged Phallus would've done the same symbolic job the "BS" artists were after, without resorting to divisive and dangerous masks. The ancients actually had it all figured out much better than today's over-educated arrogant "evidence-based" health officials do. Unless they're really just Fascists masquerading as health officials. Perhaps we should try fighting Fascists and their Invidia's with Fascinus's?
