has anyone made the ISIS>GI Joe connection yet and I missed it?

for all gen x and thereabouts, remember how we were indoctrinated as kids by GIJoe and the "fight against Cobra"?

Nowadays we have ISIS......hmmmm

Her Symbolism

Isis is depicted as a woman wearing a long sheath dress with and empty throne on her headdress. This symbolized her husband’s absence following his death and her role as seat of the power of the pharaoh. Alternatively, she is also seen as a woman with a headdress of a solar disc and horn. More rarely, she is a woman with the head of a cow.

In some forms, she is a woman with outstretched wings making her the goddess of the wind. Often she is shown with her child son, Horus, with a crown and a vulture. She is also often seen as a woman holding a lotus. In the heavens, her symbol is the star Sept (Sirius).

Her sacred animals include the cows, snakes and scorpions. She is also the patron of hawks, swallows, doves and vultures.

Seems like maybe someone set us up, the bomb eh?
