From what I have been able to find the development of what became Shiva and its association with the trident goes back perhaps a thousand years or more before Christ. The trident wielding Shiva character below dates to around the 2nd century BC:
I showed you in Trident Of Shiva that Shiva has a lot in common with Baphomet. They are both gender bending characters and they each depict duality of natures:
The two horns of Baphomet together with the "flame of intelligence" in between them forms a trident. Also, note that the male have of the Shiva in the center is making the mano cornuto with the right hand.
The name Maserati may tie in with the gender bending and hermaphroditic natures of Baphomet and Shiva. I know the origin of the name "Maserati" with the four brothers who started the company. The etymology of the Maserati family name is not easy to come by. The powers that run the world and the families behind them have a soft spot in their hearts for the language of the ancient Romans. There are many ways to break up the word Maserati and get a Latin translation. The most interesting I found is "mas erat i." In Latin this yields "I was a male" hinting toward someone who was a male, but is no longer a male. The first time I tried Google translate it did yield this result, but after that it gave me varied interpretations. Here is the screen cap:
A second website gave concurrence on this interpretation:
When the man of sin comes could it be possible that he will appear to the world as a she? I am not making up my mind on this one. We really have no way of knowing the answer to this question yet. The man of sin or beast will be revealed in the day, hour and moment that God reveals him and not before. That is my understanding of 2 Thessalonians 2:3:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
That "day" will come when "he" is revealed. If you or I knew who he was today, then today would be that day. That time has obviously not come yet and when it does there will be no question about it. You will either have no doubt it is him or you shall be hopelessly under his spell.
Having gone off on that tangent let's now return to looking at the varied history of the trident. I was able to find several ancient coins and seals that show the trident symbol. This coin dates from 246-222 BC and bears the image of Ptolemy III with the trident behind the head:

The most interesting trident connection that I have found and one that just might explain the prevalence of the trident today can be traced back 1000 years to of all places, Kiev:
Yaroslav I, Grand Prince of Rus', known as Yaroslav the Wise or Iaroslav the Wise (Old Norse: Jarizleifr; Old East Slavic and Russian Ярослав Мудрый; Ukrainian: Ярослав Мудрий; c. 978 – 20 February 1054) was thrice Grand Prince of Novgorod and Kiev, uniting the two principalities for a time under his rule. Yaroslav's Christian name was George (Yuri) after Saint George (Old East Slavic: Гюрьгi, Ghyurghi).
A son of the Varangian (Viking) Grand Prince Vladimir the Great, he was vice-regent of Novgorod at the time of his father’s death in 1015. Subsequently, his eldest surviving brother, Svyatopolk the Accursed, killed three of his other brothers and seized power in Kiev. Yaroslav, with the active support of the Novgorodians and the help of Varangian mercenaries, defeated Svyatopolk and became the Grand Prince of Kiev in 1019.

Yaroslav and his descendants used a symbol on their seals and coins that should be very familiar to us:
This trident symbol is the very symbol that is used today on the Ukraine coat of arms:
In Rise Of The Falcon we learned a lot about the diving dove/falcon symbol that seems to have influenced everything from Calvary Chapel to the O.T.O:
From trident to falcon There is no sure and definite interpretation of the symbol; however, most historians agree that it most probably depicts a stylized falcon which according to the Slavic mythology was the Primary god (Pershoboh). In Christianity, a descending falcon, just as dove (with head downwards, as in case of Ukraine´s trident) also symbolizes the Holy Spirit. This is the most likely explanation, as the symbol appears during the years surrounding the Christianization, and is furthermore identical to modern representations of the descending falcon. Depictions of a flying falcon with a cross above its head have been found in Old Ladoga, the first seat of Kievan Rurik dynasty, of Scandinavian lineage. Such a falcon, along with a cross are also featured on the coins of Olaf Guthfrithsson, Viking konung. Falconry for centuries has been a royal sport in Europe. The Gyrfalcon (known also as Norwegian falcon) was considered a royal bird and is mentioned (ukr.: кречет) in one of the earliest epics of Ruthenia, the 12th century poem The Tale of Igor's Campaign. Being a highly prized hunting bird of Kings and Emperors in the Middle Ages, the gyrfalcon is also the traditional symbol of Iceland, the land of Vikings. Every year, the Danish government sent a ship to Iceland to bring back gyrfalcons. A white gyrfalcon on a blue field was Iceland's coat of arms from 1903 until 1919, being depicted on the Icelandic royal flag. The Order of the Falcon remains as one of the highest presidential awards in Viking Iceland. It also features on the old Icelandic 5 krona banknote. Due to its rarity and the difficulties involved in obtaining it, in European falconry the Gyrfalcon was reserved for kings and nobles; very rarely was a man of lesser rank seen with a Gyrfalcon on his forearm. In 2011 the market value of one gyrfalcon is estimated at 30,000 - 50,000 USD. The descending "trident" form also represents the hunting action of the gyrfalcon, falling upon its prey. The interwoven spiral style of the Ukraine trident (stylized flying falcon) resembles the Jelling style, the Scandinavian animal art during the 10th century. The use of this symbol in Ukraine has been supplanted since the 11th century by the Christian tradition of using the images of the saints (most notably Saint George or Saint Michael) considered to be the protectors of the ruling family, and later by Galician or Cossack heraldic or cultural images. source
Yaroslav did not come up with the trident symbol out of thin air. No, he was not the originator of it. Now we come to a topic that is more sensitive than a sore toe: The Khazars:
After the collapse of the Khazar Empire the Russians in their coinage adopted a trident device on their coinage which is well illustrated in Pritsak that may be a further development of the tamgha and the Byzantines of this period also used a trident device on their coins to indicate their ruler. It is even possible to postulate that devices used on Israeli coins are derived from the Khazar and White Hun Tamgha. source: Glen Shake, Coins of the Khazar Empire (p. 46)
Kievan Rus's subjects included East Slav's, Scandinavians, Baltic and Finnic peopls, Jews and others. According to Thomas Noonan, the Rus' adopted the title "Kagan" to help legitimize their rule over this diverse population, since the title was understood by those in the population who had formerly lived under Khazar rule to mean that its bearers reigned under a divine mandate from a higher power. Thus, the "omen" story in the Russian Primary Chronicle, which added that the Rus' would someday rule over the Khazars "by God's commandment," was also an expression of this Khazar ideology that was adopted by the Rus'.
The Khazarian trident, a possible tamga symbol of the Khazar kagans, was adopted by the Rus' rulers Svyatoslav and Vladimir for use on coins and seals. According to Robin MIlner-Gulland, the trident was an "authority symbol" in medieval times. Pritsak wrote that the trident represented the qut (charisma) of the Khazarian kagan and how it brought forth "victory and glory." source: Kevin Alan Brook, The Jews of Khazaria (p. 154)
Yes, folks, this diving dove/trident can be directly traced to the Khazars. Sorry if this offends, but the evidence points to the fact that the Jews who fled Israel 2000 years ago mixed with a lot of people on their journey north into Europe:
Eran Elhaik, a geneticist at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, thinks so. In a recently published study in Genome Biology Evolution (Elhaik 2012), he is calling for a rewrite of commonly held assumptions about Jewish ancestry. Instead of being primarily the descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel, present-day Jewish populations are, finds Elhaik, primarily the children of a Turkish people who lived in what is now Russia, north of Georgia, east of Ukraine. This civilization, the Khazars, converted from tribal religions to Judaism between the 7th and 9th centuries. source
Before we cover our ears to the shrill cries of "Antisemite!" you need to understand that Eran Elhaik is an Israeli. Here is the conclusion of his research along with the link to the study:
We compared two genetic models for European Jewish ancestry depicting a mixed Khazarian–European–Middle Eastern and sole Middle Eastern origins. Contemporary populations were used as surrogates to the ancient Khazars and Judeans, and their relatedness to European Jews was compared over a comprehensive set of genetic analyses. Our findings support the Khazarian hypothesis depicting a large Near Eastern–Caucasus ancestry along with Southern European, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European ancestries, in agreement with recent studies and oral and written traditions. We conclude that the genome of European Jews is a tapestry of ancient populations including Judaized Khazars, Greco–Roman Jews, Mesopotamian Jews, and Judeans and that their population structure was formed in the Caucasus and the banks of the Volga with roots stretching to Canaan and the banks of the Jordan. source
Now, after showing you what this trident symbolism can be traced back to let's refocus upon where it might be going. Recall the Maerati Ghibli commercial:
The Maserati Ghibli is named after the "fiercely hot wind out of north Africa" (link). These winds, which can attain hurricane force are commonly called Sirocco, but in Libya they are Ghibli (link). You may have heard that the Illuminati are alternately called "Moriah" and that the word Moriah means "conquering wind." This is a lie. The word Moriah means "chosen of Jehovah." God certainly has not chosen the devil worshipping Illuminati. The body of Christ also known as the church are the chosen of Jehovah. The starting price of the Maserati Ghibli is $66,900 and this is clearly yet another 666 reference.
In closing, Kiev was founded by the Khazars. In 965 AD Svyatoslav conquered the Khazars. What we are seeing today in Ukraine reaches back 1000 years and perhaps much farther. Honestly, it is far too complicated for me to track. I will clean up this post in time.
