9/11 Truther vandalizes Statue of Liberty-inspiring Delacroix painting at the Louvre

A visitor to the Louvre’s newest extension, in northern France, has been detained after scrawling an inscription in marker on the famed canvas of Eugene Delacroix Liberty Leading the People.

According to Le Figaro newspaper, the woman wrote “AE911″ near the bottom of the canvas. The inscription stands for “Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth,” a group of individuals who believe George W. Bush is responsible for the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001. The group comprises architects, engineers and demolition experts who believe there is empirical evidence to suggest 9/11 was an inside job.

The 28-year-old woman was immediately seized by a guard and another visitor, then handed over to police, according to a statement from the Louvre-Lens on Friday. It said the painting should be easily cleaned.

The Louvre-Lens opened in December in Lens, a struggling coal town with an unemployment rate nearly three times the national average.

The Delacroix work is among the artist’s most famous. It shows a bare-breasted woman (Liberty) holding aloft the French flag as she urges on a crowd of revolutionaries.The painting is illustrative of the rise of the French romantic period but more importantly the French Revolution, with several symbols and figures painted by Delacroix acting as strong political and revolutionary symbols.

The painting is also notable for its relationship to New York City: the  bare-chested figure of Liberty in Delacroix’s work was a direct inspiration for the Statue of Liberty, gifted to the United States by the French in 1886.

DTOM: This stinks...

Either this woman is a complete moron...or it is a major MSN psyop in order to demonize the liberty and truth movement.

I find the former possibility a harder story to swallow...no possible gain could come from such an act of vandalism, except for those who would wish to defame anyone who does not accept the 'official story'.

Yet more propaganda to create re-enforcement of the official story, so the sheep will police each other - there can be no individual or deviant thinking.

The rest of the MSM are doing their best to associate '9/11 Truth' with mental illness.

Interesting that this should happen in France - http://world911truth.org/france-58-doubt-the-official-911-version-o...
