Gandhi - out to sea. A stork bringing the SKU or trading codes. 

 

33rd Edition

 

 

 

..there is also a marijuana leaf being balanced by a QR code, and a baseball (sport) aligning with scales holding people. Jesus appears to be blindfolded, 

 

Bottom right ? Pen (quill) mightier than the sword?

 

Gandhi out to sea? (? No more peace?)

 

And the symbolism that comes with the standing armadillo

I've flipped the image to make the Leonardo-style mirrored writing easier to read ...

Just a thought - wasn't Thule also a place described in Antarctica?  There appears to be a glacier beneath the moon at the top of the picture. Could be a mountain I guess (snowcapped)  🤔

There also appears to be Da Vinci's flying machine hurtling toward it.

There's also what appears to be a voting box for Zimbabwe. Ominous. Also, and it might just be me, but pinocchio looks like Robin Williams strangely.

There are 5 people standing on either pan of the scales, yet they their 'weight' is vastly uneven.

 

 

"Pangolins have an extremely important ecological role of regulating insect populations. One single pangolin can consume around 70 million ants and termites per year. If pangolins go extinct, there would be a cascading impact on the environment. “Pangolins save us millions of dollars a year in pest destruction."       Well they won't need them any more once we're all depending on the pests for our diet!
