The other day Fox News had an article on the meaning behind the reverse side of the Seal of the United States. I found this interesting as I just had an in depth conversation about the meaning of the seal with a friend Rachael.
There has long been talk that the seal is a secret emblem for the Freemason's, is a sign of the occult, and that our country is run by a secret orginazation that is hell bent on creating a New World Order (Novus Ordo Mundi).
Many of our founding fathers belonged to the Free Mason's - George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, etc.... The creation of the seal began in 1776 and the seal was first used in 1782. The symbols on the reverse side of the shield are consistent with symbols used by the Mason's, but as with anything symbols can have dual meanings.
The New World Order theory alleges this secret society, the Illuminati, is trying to create an autonomous government to rule the world. It is alleged that this path to the New World Order is being done through the manipulation of world events, multi-national corporations, social engineering, apocalyptic Christian theories, mind control, and fear-based propaganda.
The Illuminati was formed on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria), by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt as a secret society within the secret society of the Freemasons. Outlawed by the Bavarian government in 1784 there have been many rumors that the Illuminati continued in secrecy. Weishaupt, born a Jew, who was converted to Catholicism and became a Catholic priest, and then, at the behest of the then newly organized House of Rothschild, defected and organized the Illuminati. But these theories can also be disputed.
With my head rattling from all the conflicting information when researching this topic - I finally found someone and something that I fully agree with....
From Wickipedia --
Paleoconservative Patrick J. Buchanan asserts the Council on Foreign Relations (itself alleged to be a front for international bankers, as well as, it is claimed, the inspiration for the founding of the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, and World Trade Organization) is behind the conspiracy.
He claims that the international banking interests are planning to eventually subvert the independence of the United States of America by subordinating national sovereignty to the United Nations.
The conspiracy would replace it with a monopolist planned economy capable of rationing the resources, converting populations into public property. Their usual image is an egalitarian slavery under a global scientific dictatorship.
For those that have never read my blog - at any given time you will find a post from me screaming about the decreasing value of the U.S. dollar. I am of the belief the weaker our dollar gets the closer we will become to this above scenario. The value of our dollar (IMO) is the single most important issue we face when dealing with the national security and existence of the United States.
How can Buchanan be disputed when in 1991, David Rockefeller,
then serving as chairman of the Bilderberg Group,
offered up their purpose --
"We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years....
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during these years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government which will never again know war but only peace and prosperity for the whole of humanity."
Here is more on the Rockefeller's involvement.....
Since 1950 a Rockefeller has held a prominent leadership position in the Council on Foreign Relations, and David Rockefeller was cofounder of the Trilateral Commission. Both organizations helped craft the "Carter Doctrine" of the late 1970s which stated that the US would heretofore intervene militarily to protect its oil supply from the Middle East.
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) has been the historical driving force behind such bedrock institutions of corporate globalization as the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization (WTO), and NATO.
(Confused or lost yet? Ha - I have been! Try gathering all this info then writing about it and make sense! My head is still spinning from when I started this post two days ago.)
Though most that blame this quest or conspiracy for a "New World Order" on conservatives or republicans couldn't be more wrong. A quick glance at the names of past & present players in these groups span political parties --
George Soros, Rumsfield, John Kerry, Janet Reno, Paul Wolfowitz, David Rockefeller, Jacob Rothschild, Colin Powell, Thomas Foley, Henry Kissinger, Rupert Murdoch, Jesse Jackson, Vernon Jordan, Melinda Gates, Bill Clinton, Paul Volcker, Alan Greenspan, and King Jaun Carlos of Spain, etc...
There are theories that both the Republican Party & Democrat Party both have their hand in this 'game' and we the citizens are the dupes! Some believe the liberal left/anti-war movement is a purposely crafted tool by these groups in attempt to create a false appearance of opposing sides to the American public.
Which brings us to the links between, The Order of the Skull and Bones from Yale,
the Rhodes Scholars from Oxford and Phi Beta Kappa members from William and Mary College. This leads to the theory that the Bush & Clinton years were all orchestrated by these groups.
After researching all this - where do I stand? I do not believe this is a grand conspiracy of the Mason's!
On a serious note.... Some of it does seem a little outlandish, (micro-chips, EFT Towers, etc...) but I think there are too many consistencies with all the scenarios and players for there not to be some truth to this.
With that, you can choose to believe, or not, what one of the media groups ran by these pagan group of economic elitist pissants wrote about the U.S. Seal....
From Fox News --
Among the highlights:
- That known Masons like the first U.S. president, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin had no role in designing the final seal, which uses elements of traditional heraldry, such as the unfinished pyramid to symbolize a work in progress, arrows for war and an olive branch for peace. Masons share some of those symbols, but they have never been exclusively the domain of the order.
- That the phrase "Novus Ordo Seculorum" below the Roman numerals for 1776 at the base of the pyramid translates as "A New Order of the Ages" that began with independence and does not imply the United States will be the lynchpin of a sinister "New World Order."
That the words "Annuit Coeptis" ("Providence favors") and the eye of providence that hovers over the pyramid refer to unexpected interventions of fate that assisted the colonists in creating a new country.
That the references to 13 refer to the number of colonies that formed the original United States.
