Washington - Conspiracy theorists take note: The myths surrounding one of America's oldest and most enduring national symbols are about to be debunked...if you believe the government, that is. The keepers of the Great Seal of the United States, the emblem on the back of the US$1 bill, want you to know what it is not. It is not a sign that Freemasons run the country, it has nothing to do with the occult, and it does not contain clues to a fabulous hidden treasure. It is rather the nation's stamp of authority, sovereignty and power, gracing cash and embossing the most important of documents from its home at the State Department, which has held it since the days of Thomas Jefferson, the first secretary of state. Not that the Seal's symbols - the all-seeing eye, the unfinished pyramid, the Latin phrases, the bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows and the number 13 - aren't powerful. The Ancient Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is a perennial favorite of conspiracy theorists They are, historians say. Yet their meanings have been misidentified, misunderstood and misrepresented almost since the Continental Congress first commissioned the Seal in 1776. It would be another six years before the original design was approved and another 128 before it evolved into its current form. Along the way, a movement to decipher the Seal's meaning with ancient Egyptian, mystical and otherwise other worldly explanations has gained currency. The Internet age has seen an explosion in such conspiracy theories, many which have now been ingrained in public consciousness through the popular "National Treasure" movie franchise that serves up a combination of Masonic lore and historical myths in blockbuster Hollywood fashion. Among them: That the Seal proves the domination of the United States by a powerful, quasi-religious cult. The Ancient Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is a perennial favourite of conspiracy theorists as some Founding Fathers were Masons and the Seal uses several Masonic symbols. All rubbish, according to historians That the Seal draws on Satanism or polytheistic ritual to promote a universal new world order under which Earth would be ruled by a single omnipotent government. That repeated references to 13 - the number of steps in the unfinished pyramid, stars in the constellation over the eagle's head, arrows in the eagle's claw, stripes on the eagle's shield, letters in the phrase "Annuit Coeptis" - demonstrate the power of 13 American families. That there are two seals: one in which the eagle's head faces the arrows for times of war and another in which the eagle's head faces the olive branch for times of peace. All rubbish, according to historians, who say the Seal's symbolism is far less ominous or revelatory than many believe. On Tuesday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the Seal's current custodian, will inaugurate a new exhibition to commemorate its 225th birthday and trace the history and evolution of the symbolism. The Seal will remain at the State Department but the interactive exhibit is designed to travel and curators hope it will dispel the rumours and educate Americans about the real meaning of the symbols. 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 symbolise 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 linchpin of a sinister "New World Order." That the words "Annuit Coeptis" ("Providence favours") 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. "People are just not aware of the complexity and intent of the symbolism and what our Founding Fathers were trying to do with it," said Priscilla Linn, senior curator at the US Diplomacy Centre. "The hidden treasure in the Seal is the courage and presence of mind of the people who created it and created these values for the whole country." - Sapa-AP
Poster Comment: No mention of the "Star of David" above the Eagle on the right side of the seal. Probably a simple oversight.

no mention of the owl either; it appears on the dollar bill and in the streets surrounding the United States Capitol. It stands for Satan: "....The Freemason's Rule, or straightedge, is clearly seen if you draw a straight line south from the White House center to the base of the Washington Monument and then straight East to the Capitol. Thus, all three of the sacred instruments of Freemasonry are depicted in the layout of these streets. As I stated earlier, the deliberate planning of these Governmental Buildings so that they would be laid out so as to represent these three sacred tools of Freemasonry, coupled with the Luciferic Goathead Pentagram, clearly tell us that the brand of Luciferic control and worship planned for this capitol city was Freemasonry. This clearly shows that the New World Order for which FreeMasonry has labored for so many years is Luciferic, their vigorous protestations to the contrary notwithstanding. [**** see note below] But there is more. Look again at the United States Capitol (above). At the extreme Eastern side of the Capitol, you can see two cul-de-sacs which are irregularly shaped. In fact, when you draw a bold black line carefully around these cul-de-sacs, and continue the black line around the Capitol, you get the appearance of a horned owl, with the cul-de-sacs as its ears. This is not accidental, either. This is another way of representing Satan. Freemasonry designed the layout of Washington D.C. they placed the owl there and on the American One Dollar Bill......" Masonic layout of Washington D.C. http://www.gemworld.com/US-Symbol-DC.html Symbolism on $1 Bill: ".....There is a small owl just to the left of the "1" which appears on the upper right hand corner of the Dollar Bill. From time to time politicians like Bill Clinton and George W. Bush Jr. have been caught with a camera flashing the horned owl symbol with their hands......" http://www.gemworld.com/US-Symbol-1dol.html ======================================= **** note: Masonic protestations http://www.masonicinfo.com/books/secretarchitecture.htm vs. the book: David Ovason, author of The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital ... Reveals the Founding Fathers spiritual vision for America. Do a search on the book. I have the book. There is no way the design of that city was coincidental...it is satanic and antiChrist to the core. also do search on cuttingedge.org discussion of Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital. Excerpt from one article: "WASHINGTON, D.C. PLANNED BY MASONIC FOUNDING FATHERS AS THE MOST POWERFUL OCCULT CAPITOL IN WORLD HISTORY! Part 2 Subtitle: Satanists believe that a city must be built by the Serpents of Wisdom and continually receive Serpent spiritual power if that city is ever to be great. Masonic American Forefathers built Washington, D.C., to be THE capitol in world history, unparalleled in occult power and influence. Serpent symbols in our Federal Mall tell the story! ...... .....If Washington, D.C., was truly built as a Serpent City reverberating with Luciferian power, then we should expect to see Serpent symbols incorporated in government buildings. Occultists love to communicate with each other, and over the passage of eras of time, through symbols. THE HIDDEN SERPENT AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT BUILDING "Since the facade (and hence the panel) is oriented on the west-east line, the morning sunlight falls upon the figures fairly evenly, picking them out dramatically, as the relief is highlighted above the shadows. However, the panel has been inset in such a way that, until the whole relief is lighted, a shadow remains over the stick in the hand of the nude figure to the extreme right. As the Sun moves higher up the skies, the hand of the man is eventually picked out. the sunlight then slides slowly down the stick in his hand until the bottom symbol is revealed by its rays. This last penetration of light reveals the intent of the symbolism -- a serpent, coiled in the bottom-right corner." [David Ovason, The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capitol , p. 292]. Washington, D.C., is a serpent city, founded according to Serpent Power. Her streets were planned to radiate outward from the Capitol and the White House in a manner last seen in Babylon itself [Ovason, P. 41], and according to the stars! As the current Masonic Supreme Commander, C. Fred Kleinknecht, stated, "Washington, D.C., is a city of the stars ...with over 30 zodiacs in the city ... marrying the Capital City with the stars." ......" http://www.cuttingedge.org/News/n1493.cfm "People are just not aware of the complexity and intent of the symbolism and what our Founding Fathers were trying to do with it," said Priscilla Linn, senior curator at the US Diplomacy Centre. "The hidden treasure in the Seal is the courage and presence of mind of the people who created it and created these values for the whole country." - Sapa-AP Well, yes we can see who these people were, they were serpent worshippers ["....the Symbolic Snake, by which we symbolize our people." [Protocols of Sion, p. 275]] /satan-worshippers, and the proof is in the government we have today, waging war on the world, stealing through usury and taxes, chopping off the hands and feet of those who resist as they did with Gordon Kahl, fondling the breasts of 7 1/2 month pregnant Americans at airports to keep us "safe" from the terrorists in the government who perpetrated 911, tazering children and anyone who speaks up, torturing innocent people to confess to "crimes" they didn't committ, 2 million Americans, many of whom are innocent, in prison doing slave labor for corporations, the deliberate poisoning of the minds and bodies of their American victims, the passing of Satanic Noahide Laws which declare Christians guilty of idolatry and liable for beheading, the list goes on and on....yes, those are the values those people gave us and it is there for all the world to see who they are. In their own words [and I'm posting it again, because I have noticed it is getting harder and harder to retrieve it..... IN THEIR OWN WORDS: The Truth regarding the Occultic symbolism of the Dollar Bill, direct from the mouth of the synagogue of their g-d, Satan, Chabad Lubavitch http://www.moshiach.net/blind/lwm-5763/329.htm "Turn to the side of the dollar bill that doesn't have the picture of George Washington. The most conspicuous item, you will notice, is the word, "ONE." "One" is a very prominent concept in Judaism. A basic tenet of our faith is that G-d is one and there is nothing but G-d in the world -- the belief that nothing exists but G-d, or that everything exists only because of G-d is ultimate oneness. Interestingly enough, the word "one" is directly below another major Jewish concept, "In G-d We Trust." The Jewish people's trust and faith in G-d has kept us going throughout the ages. This trust, however, is not limited to the Jewish people as a group, but encompasses our individual lives as well. Kabbala teaches -- and the Baal Shem Tov expounds on this teaching -- that we are never alone, G-d is always with us. Even in a person's darkest moments, G-d is with him and we can put our trust in Him, because each person is truly one with G-d. The concept of the oneness of the entire universe is further reflected in the Latin phrase in the eagle's beak, "E Pluribus Unum," meaning, "From many you make one." The eagle is holding arrows in one claw and what many horticulturists consider to be an olive branch in the other claw. This suggests the time of peace spoken about by our great prophet Isaiah when we will "beat our swords into plowshares..." The number of arrowheads, the number of leaves on the olive branch, the number of stars above the eagle's head, are all 13. Thirteen, certainly, was the number of the original Colonies. But in addition, and perhaps not so coincidentally, it is the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew letters in the word echad, which means "one." Also, the stars above the eagle's head, in the shape that has become known as a "Jewish star" and has become a symbol of Judaism, have light emanating from around them. The Jewish people were commanded by G-d to be "a light to the nations." Let's look for a moment at the other sphere across from the eagle -- the one containing the pyramid. Two Latin phrases are in this circle. "Annuit Coeptis," according to the Webster dictionary, means, "He [G-d] has favored our undertaking." The second phrase, "Novus ordo seclorum," means "a new order of the ages," which in yesterday's lingo would be "a new world order" and in today's lingo "the Era of the Redemption." The pyramid itself -- work of human beings -- is incomplete. It becomes complete only when joined with the eye, symbolizing most probably G-d's all-seeing Eye. It is only when we connect the work of our own hands with G-d and when we acknowledge G-d's assistance in our own work that we can complete our job. As G-d tells us, "Not through your courage nor through your strength, but with My spirit." Just as the eagle symbolizes the United States, the pyramid is symbolic of a country -- though much more ancient than the USA. The pyramid is Egypt -- the location of the Jewish people's first exile. It is from Egypt that the first Redeemer, Moses, took us out and brought us to freedom and the Giving of the Torah. And it is from our last place of exile -- symbolized by the eagle -- that the call has come forth, "The time of our Redemption has arrived. Get ready for the coming of Moshiach." " [Excerpt from http://www.freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=70431 / e: http://www.samliquidation.com/chabad_4-a.htm ] ================================== Notes II - The Symbolic Snake of Judaism. Protocol III opens with a reference to the Symbolic Snake of Judaism. In his Epilogue to the 1905 Edition of the Protocols, Nilus gives the following interesting account of this symbol: "According to the records of secret Jewish Zionism, Solomon and other Jewish learned men already, in 929 B.C., thought out a scheme in theory for a peaceful conquest of the whole universe by Zion. As history developed, this scheme was worked out in detail and completed by men who were subsequently initiated in this question. These learned men decided by peaceful means to conquer the world for Zion with the slyness of the Symbolic Snake, whose head was to represent those who have been initiated into the plans of the Jewish administration, and the body of the Snake to represent the Jewish people - the administration was always kept secret, EVEN FROM THE JEWISH NATION ITSELF. As this Snake penetrated into the hearts of the nations which it encountered it undermined and devoured all the non-Jewish power of these States. It is foretold that the Snake has still to finish its work, strictly adhering to the designed plan, until the course which it has to run is closed by the return of its head to Zion and until, by this means, the Snake has completed its round of Europe and has encircled it - and until, by dint of enchaining Europe, it has encompassed the whole world. This it is to accomplish by using every endeavor to subdue the other countries by an ECONOMICAL CONQUEST. The return of the head of the Snake to Zion can only be accomplished after the power of all the Sovereign of Europe has been laid low, that is to say, when by means of economic crises and wholesale destruction effected everywhere, there shall have been brought about a spiritual demoralization and a moral corruption, chiefly with the assistance of Jewish women masquerading as French, Italians, etc.. These are the surest spreaders of licentiousness into the lives of the leading men at the heads of nations. A map of the course of the Symbolic Snake is shown as follows: - Its first stage in Europe was in 429 B.C. in Greece, where, about the time of Pericles, the Snake first started eating into the power of that country. The second stage was in Rome in the time of Augustus, about 69 B.C.. The third in Madrid in the time of Charles V, in A.D. 1552. The fourth in Paris about 1790, in the time of Louis XVI. The fifth in London from 1814 onwards (after the downfall of Napoleon). The sixth in Berlin in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian war. The seventh in St. Petersburg, over which is drawn the head of the Snake under the date of 1881. [This "Snake" is now being drawn through the Americas and in the United States of America, it has been partially identified as the "Council on Foreign Relations" (C.F.R.) and the "Trilateral Commission"]. All these States which the Snake traversed have had the foundations of their constitutions shaken, Germany, with its apparent power, forming no exception to the rule. In economic conditions, England and Germany are spared, but only till the conquest of Russia is accomplished by the Snake, on which at present [i.e., 1905] all its efforts are concentrated. The further course of the Snake is not shown on this map, but arrows indicate its next movement towards Moscow, Kieft and Odessa. It is now well known to us to what extent the latter cities form the centres of the militant Jewish race. Constantinople is shown as the last stage of the Snake's course before it reaches Jerusalem. (This map was drawn years before the occurrence of the "Young Turk" - i.e., Jewish - Revolution in Turkey). " WORLD CONQUEST THROUGH WORLD JEWISH GOVERNMENT THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/przion1.htm See also American Graffitti " American Graffiti THERE IS A UNIVERSAL legal tradition that requires acts of a governmental authority to be marked by a seal - otherwise the acts are not authentic. Typically, a seal discloses the character of the authority it represents by means of an image which can be, and usually is, amplified by some sentence, phrase, or word. The first seal of the United States of America, designed to authenticate all governmental actions under the Declaration of Independence, was presented to Congress in August 1776. Created by an official committee consisting of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, the seal illustrates an event based on Exodus 14:19-27. It is a cameo of Moses leading the Israelites through the parted waters while a chariot-bound Pharaoh, wielding a sword and wearing the crown of tyranny, perishes in the maelstrom. Framing the picture are the words "REBELLION TO TYRANTS IS OBEDIENCE TO GOD."....." ".....CONGRESS refused to adopt the 1776 seal. We may never know why. There is no record of any debate, only the notation that the seal was ordered to lay "on the table." Five years later, in the summer of 1781, a fleet of twenty-five French war vessels arrived in Chesapeake Bay with more than twenty thousand soldiers accompanied by ninety Roman Catholic chaplains and God only knows how many secularized Jesuits. A month later, the British army surrendered to General Washington at Yorktown. [and Corwallis revealed to George Washington: a Holy War will now begin against America. Her churches will be used to teach the Jews' religion and she will think she is free but she will be working toward divine government, which is the British Empire under the all-seeing eye of Freemasonry - sweetliberty.org THE UNION JACK paraphrased.] The legend-spinning visible war was over at last. In June 1782, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams were meeting in Paris to perfect a treaty with envoys of the newly-elected British Prime Minister - Robert Petty. We recall Petty, Lord Shelburne, the ubiquitous "Jesuit of Berkeley Square" who teamed with Lord Bute to conclude the French and Indian Wars in terms that had made the Revolution inevitable. Franklin and Adams found themselves approaching the negotiating table without a national seal. Nothing they might do on behalf of the United States could be valid without a seal. This was the exigency that moved Congress to adopt, on June 28, the seal designed by Charles Thomson and William Barton. The Great Seal is "written" in cabalah, that style of allegorical communication" composed of seemingly unrelated symbols, numerals, and phrases. [MUST SEE: http://www.thunderministries.net/Kabbalah/satanic.htm MORE ON SATANIC SYMBOLS INCLUDING THOSE ON THE DOLLAR BILL] A piece in Le Charivari No. 18 (Paris, 1973), discussing certain symbolic motifs used by the enlightened French artist Nicolas Poussin, explains the practical advantage of cabalistic works: A single word suffices to illumine connections which the multitude cannot grasp. Such works are available to everyone, but their significance addresses itself to an elite. Above and beyond the masses, sender and receiver understand each other. Cabalah goes beyond mere secret communication. Supposedly, it thrusts the sender "into direct contact with the living powers and forces of the Universe, and through them with the eternal source of all manifestation," explains Henrietta Bernstein in her Cabalah Primer. "In other words, you make contact with God." To a cabalist gnostic illuminatus whose special knowledge has liberated him from the clutch of matter and is speeding him toward the pure light of godliness, cabalah is "the royal art, a closed body of knowledge sacred to the elect." Since the Great Seal is written in the language of cabalah, it appears to be a veritable Gnostic Constitution. In terms well known to initiates and God Almighty, it sets forth the origin, nature, purpose, and plan of American government. Of course, as Charles Thomson and Manly Hall have intimated, the initiates will never disclose to outsiders the meaning of the Seal's elements....."
