In the 10-minute podcast titled "The Statue of Freedom: A Tale of Madness and Immortality," the host delves into the story behind the Statue of Freedom, a prominent figure atop the United States Capitol building. The statue's history is one of absurdity and intrigue, beginning with Congress commissioning Thomas Crawford to create it in the mid-19th century. However, Crawford's mental health issues caused numerous delays and erratic behavior, leading to the belief that he was descending into madness. Some notable incidents include Crawford's obsession with studying ancient Greek and Roman statues, as well as his bizarre habit of wearing a toga during sculpting sessions. Despite his mental state, Crawford managed to complete the statue, and it eventually reached its perch atop the Capitol dome in 1863. The Statue of Freedom has since become an enduring symbol of American values, representing liberty and democracy. The podcast hints at the intriguing and occasionally strange circumstances that contributed to its creation, reflecting the resilience and determination of American democracy.

The Statue of Freedom , simply referred to as Freedom was an animate plaster statue depicting a Greco-Roman woman crafted by the Italian sculptor Thomas Gibson Crawford . After Thomas discovered the immortality-inducing properties of the Giza Glass , he went mad with power and decided to cut himself into pieces to enter the statue, with his daughter Nina following soon after. She was put into a dormant state after a failed escape attempt, but after a riot in the Capitol caused her to fall from the Capitol Dome, and once she revealed herself to be alive, she was reassigned as a Giza Guardian. Biography [ ] Creation of the Statue of Freedom [ ] Thomas Gibson Crawford would craft the Statue of Freedom using materials such as Giza Glass. Crawford would later go insane due to the bizarre neurophysiological properties of Giza Glass, and put himself into the statue. Whilst being ported to the Gibraltar, Freedom would escape along with Nina Crawford, before shoving her inside herself and using her skin as its torso as a means of liberation. The Gibraltar Police Force would later take the statue and pull the skin off, leaving Freedom dormant. Eventually Freedom would arrive in the United States and be placed at the top of the Capitol building. The Freedom Faller Incident [ ] On Jan. 6, 1977, the ADA rioted in vicinity to the Capitol. Heavy artillery and gunfire would knock Freedom down from the Capital building. Freedom, reawakened by the fall, killed multiple ADA rioters. The official story attributed fatalities to the the fall itself. Whichever the case, Freedom was seen on video inside the Capital before crushing and skinning a woman, stretching the skin onto her face. Time as a Giza Guardian [ ] After the Freedom Faller incident, the Statue of Freedom would be reassigned as the last Giza Guardian under President James Dean 's orders. She was given the task to lure and convert as many dissenters and/or ADA members possible into Canyon Crowns by way of decapitation. Howard Melrose later leaked documents revealing these to the public. Some of those who fell victim to her during this period of time are named are named in the leaked PSA: Taylor P. Manning Franklin B. Carr Bonnie Newman Perry F. Caldwell Jimmie Garner Donna Garner Roy I. Nunez Geoff M. Foster Sue Megeem Bridget K. Jennings Diana L. Massey Randall Jefferson Maya Arnoldson Nathaniel Arnoldson The Great Division [ ] In 2022, the Department of Technology devised a plan to neutralize both Freedom and the Air Force One Angel in one fell swoop, known internally as "Operation Thunderbird". According to the 3D animation produced by the Department, they lured Freedom using two Androids, and once approached she would activate captive False Children who solidify the Invisible Particle Cloud known as Giza Gas, encasing her in some sort of pyramid made out of Giza Glass. A military helicopter named “X-Wing Warrior” would collect the container and move Freedom to the Babylon Forest, where she would encounter and fight the Angel. However, instead of the Mutually Assured Destruction the Department had hoped for, the Angel proved much too strong, and presumably caused the Great Division of the world. The Montyverse's version of the Statue of Freedom , who turns out victorious in Babylon Forest after the Air Force One Angel's neurons are shifted by their Deanverse self. Biography [ ] The Great Aversion [ ] In the aftermath of Freedom's battle with the Air Force One Angel, the Angel floats through space and descends upon a rock where Freedom's decapitated head is seen. When the Angel divides itself and its ashes float through the fabric of time, it is revealed that on February 22nd, 2022, in the Babylon Forest, the Angel's neurons were shifted as it approached Freedom. Instead of battling and causing the Great Division of the World, the Angel asks Freedom to kill it. Freedom swiftly complies and decapitates the Angel. A More Perfect Union [ ] As Freedom stands by the Canyon Crown of the Angel, Everett Arnoldson appears and blocks Freedom's blade as the Angel destroys it. Thomas and Nina express that they wish to go where no one can harm them. Everett, the Angel, and Freedom come together and merge into a new being.
