Dr. Lee Merritt, a former surgeon, is also a scholar in esoteric history. In her speech for the Red Pill Expo, she traces symbols related to bloodlines of powerful ruling families.

For Lee Merritt: The land known today as the District of Columbia bore the name “Rome” in 1663 property records; and the branch of the Potomac River that bordered “Rome” on the south was called “Tiber.” 3 This information was reported in the 1902 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia’s article on Daniel Carroll. https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03381a.htm The article, specifically declaring itself “of interest to Catholics” in the 1902 edition, was deleted from the New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967). Other facts were reported in 1902 and deleted from 1967. Numeric page 4 at https://www.auricmedia.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Rulers_of_Evil.pdf
