~ ~ « SINISTER SITES of the NWO » ~~http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=421The Vigilant Citizen is a fantastic website - and I wanted to bring attention to this great series they have posted on Sinister Sites. I hope it will be a good entré for Prison Planet Forum to dig even deeper into the physical manifestation of the New World Order around the planet and the final attempt at takeover by the Illuminati. Their imagery is literally EVERYWHERE throughout society ~ in the media, especially ... but also in the 'school system' ~ the NEW AGE religions ... of course in their corporate identities ... but also, now, ever-so-apparent in the world's architecture.
First let's have a look at what's going on in:~~~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~~~ « Astana, Khazakhstan » EXCERPTS: Astana is the first capital being built in the 21st century and it perfectly represents where the world is headed. It is truly one man’s vision: Nursultan Nazarbayev, the president of Kazakhstan (yes Borat’s country, I know). Backed by billions of petrodollars, the city is being built from scratch in a remote and deserted area of the Asian steppes. The result is astonishing: a futuristic occult capital, embracing the New World Order while celebrating the most ancient religion known to man: Sun Worship. The city is still a huge construction site, but the buildings that are already completed already sum up Nazarbayev’s occult vision. The Pyramid of PeaceConceived by Britain’s most prolific architect, Lord Norman Forster, this giant pyramid is an odd presence in the middle of the Asian Steppes. The building is dedicated to “the renunciation of violence” and “to bring together the world’s religions”. Norman Foster has said that the building has no recognizable religious symbols to permit the harmonious reunification of confessions. In reality, the pyramid is a temple for the occultist’s only TRUE religion: Sun worship. A journey inside this building is a truly symbolic one. It represents each human’s path to illumination. Let’s take the tour. “The initiates accepted the pyramid form as the ideal symbol of both the secret doctrine and those institutions established for its dissemination" - Manly P. Hall, Secret Teachings of All Ages As Manly P. Hall stated, the pyramid is the ultimate symbol representing the mysteries of ancient civilizations. Sublime in their simplicity, divine in their proportions, they embody both the divine knowledge owned by the illuminated and the bewilderment of the masses. Today’s elite, initiated to the occult, are the heirs of this ancient wisdom and use the pyramid as a symbol of power in the modern world. The illuminated/floating/missing capstone represents the divine principle present in the universe as well in each human being. Another symbolic meaning attributed to the missing capstone is the unfinished nature of the New World Order. It is said that the capstone of the Great Pyramid will be reinstated when this age old project will become reality. Here are other pyramids appearing across the world, representing the elites power over the masses. ~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~ Masonic Pillars ~ Placed in a commanding position in the city, the Presidential Palace sits at the end of a ceremonial route which starts with the Bayterek tower. A big fat dome sits on top of the palace, representing the female principle, in opposition to the phallic Bayterek tower – the male principle. This layout is present in almost all important cities, including Washington DC and Paris.   ~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~ Inside the Golden Globe atop the Bayterek tower ~The Total Recall ThingVisitors can go at the top of the tower and get a wonderful view of Nazarbayev’s city. There are also some strange items to look at. Inside the globe we find this enigmatic “thing”. It’s a golden triangle with president Nazarbayev’s hand print in it. Why? I honestly don’t know. All I can say is that it looks like something out of the movie Total Recall.  ~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~ Please click on the Vigilant Citizen link above ~ lots more cool photos and info about what is being built in Astana! Once there, you will find links to pages full of info/pix about these following SINISTER SITES as well:~~~~~~~~~ The Illuminati dropped any pretense long ago.“The pagan intellectuals reclothed their original ideas in a garment of christian phraseology but bestowed the keys of the symbolism only upon those duly initiated and bound to secrecy” -Manly P. Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages ~« St. John The Divine Cathedral »~ This unfinished building has been claimed as being the world’s largest cathedral. It is realistic to maintain such high aspirations when your sources of funding include tycoons like JP Morgan and prominent figures like the Grand Master of the Masons of the state of New York. The completion of the cathedral was such a prized accomplishment for the Freemasons that it was featured on the front page of “Masonic World” of March 1925.  On the western facade of the building, stonemasons have sculpted numerous scenes that seem oddly out of place for a Cathedral. The most striking one is the chilling depiction of the destruction of New York city and its landmarks. Twin towers collapsing ~ The scene above was done in 1997, four years before the destruction of the Twin Towers. Other recognizable skyscrapers are the Chrysler Building and the Citigroup center. ~~~~~~~~  This sculpture, which basically symbolizes the struggle between Good and Evil, features numerous elements we can find in paganism: Sun worship, mythical creatures and sun versus moon duality. Called “Fountain of Peace”, the sculpture borrows the fantastic, bizarre and distorted art style of the Grotesque. All sorts of animal creatures are emerging from a smiling sun, which represents the basic paradigm of Sun Worship (the Sun as giver of life). The idol points to the east, an ancient pagan tradition. There is also weird stuff on the sculpture like a DNA symbol (a DNA symbol also appears at the entrance of the Cathedral). We all know how genetic modification is as Christian as it gets. We can also find a quote of John Lennon saying, “…one day the world will live as one”. Think this is spooky? Read on ... (see Article) ~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~ ~~ »Israel Supreme Court« ~~ The Israel Supreme Court is the creation of one elite family: the Rothschilds. In their negotiations with Israel, they’ve agreed to donate the building under three conditions: the Rothschilds were to choose the plot of land, they would use their own architect and no one would ever know the price of its construction. The reasons for those conditions are quite evident: the Supreme Court building is a Temple of Masonic Mystery Religion and is built by the elite, for the elite. A journey through the Supreme Court is in fact a symbolic course towards Illumination. The ultimate “goal” of the journey is to reach the top of the pyramid which is located on the roof of Supreme Court, atop of an area where the “holy of holies” would be in a Jewish Temple. On each side of the pyramid’s apex is a hole representing the “All-Seeing Eye” of the masonic Great Architect. ~~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~ «~ Temple Square, Utah ~» Situated at the heart of Salt Lake City, Utah, Temple Square is the spiritual, cultural and administrative center of the Mormon faith. This ten acres plot of land includes a Temple, a domed tabernacle and numerous buildings, monuments and memorials. While this place may seem holy and wholesome, a closer look at the structures reveal the presence of occult, pagan and masonic symbols. A deeper study of those grounds only adds to the controversy regarding Mormonism and reveals the disturbing truth about its real god. All Seeing-Eye This classic masonic symbol representing the “Great Architect” is right on the facade of the Temple. It is surrounded by glory and a veil. It most probably represents the initiatic process of the Mormon Church, which is very similar to the one Freemasons go through. ~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~ ~ ~ ~ « The Manitoba Legislative Building « ~ ~ ~ The "Golden Boy". Hermes is of first importance to Masonic scholars, because he was the author of the Masonic initiatory rituals, which were borrowed from the Mysteries established by Hermes.The representatives of Manitoba’s population pass legislation in a magnificent building but few realize that it is entirely based on occult and masonic principles. The great amount of details in this recreation of Solomon’s Temple reveal the importance of secret societies and hermetic philosophies in today’s democracies. This article, written by collaborator Harm One, explores the numerous occults symbols in this public building.... Only in 2006 did the degree of masonic influence incorporated in the MLB became mainstream news, with the Winnipeg Free Press and others who did extensive and exclusive reports, exposing countless numbers of sinister symbols while propagating it as a very positive and good intentioned project to “celebrate rebirth”. The dedication and show of power relating to Hermeticism throughout, is what I partially consider the most important symbolism in the MLB. ~~~~~ 0 ~~~~~ « ~The Denver International Airport~ » An apocalyptic horse with glowing red eyes welcoming visitors? Check. Nightmarish murals? Check. Strange words and symbols embedded in the floor? Check. Gargoyles sitting in suitcases? Check. Runways shaped like a Nazi swastika? Check. OK, this place is evil. But seriously, there are so many irregularities surrounding the DIA, that a voluminous book could be written on the subject. The facilities and the art displayed lead many observers to believe that the DIA is much more than an airport: it is literally a New-Age cathedral, full of occult symbolism and references to secret societies. The art at the DIA is NOT an aggregation of odd choices made by people with poor taste, like many people think. It is a cohesive collection of symbolic pieces that reflect the philosphy, the beliefs and the goals of the global elite. The DIA is the largest airport in America and it has cost over 4.8 billion dollars. Everything regarding this airport has been meticulously planned and everything is there for a reason. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A True Masterpiece of Evil

wwoooww.... it's eerie.
Unbelievable -- sculpting things in stone -- ahead-of-time? Seems like it is all part of the spin of History that they want all to know when they are through euthenizing us.
Give everyone a history of their origin & they won't question...
And personally? I don't like their taste in "all seeing eyes" & pyramids and structures.

Agreed very freaky, but to think that the masons are on top of it all is just plain ridiculous.

—> SINISTER SITE: National Memorial and Arboretum, U.K. <—Please see entire article here: http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1566EXCERPTS:Jul 24th, 2009 | By Vigilant | Category: Vigilant Reports  Police and military memorials are probably the most occult monuments you can find. Considered to be the largest Memorial built since WWII, the National Memorial in Staffordshire, U.K. is totally built on Masonic and Illuminati principles. Does this structure commemorate fallen soldiers or does it celebrate their ritual sacrifice? The symbols say it all. Memorials dedicated to the fallen are a place to reflect, to pay respects and to pray. They carry an important meaning for the friends and families of the victims as well as for the rest of their countrymen. The symbolism of the place conveys however a double message – one that applies to the common people and another one that applies to the elite. When one goes beyond the face value of this structure and analyzes the symbolic origin of the monuments, one can understand the thoroughly elitist philosophy behind the Memorial. The architecture, the choice of monuments and the symbols present at the National Memorial are directly taken from Masonic and Illuminati principles. What do these symbols have to do with the soldiers and the other victims being honored at this Memorial, except for the fact they represent their hidden rulers, those who plot wars and political crises? Those who have researched the secret aims of the elite, their plans for a New World Order and their obsession for a massive depopulation the Earth will see in this Memorial a troubling message. ~~~~~~~  The main complex features the most commonly found occult symbol around the world: the obelisk. This ancient Egyptian phallic symbol is now used as the ultimate representation of the elite’s power. It is placed at the top of the circle formed by the Memorial’s walls. This circle represents the female principle (the womb) and, combined with the obelisk, it represents the sexual act - the union of the masculine and feminine principle. This combination of a phallic and yonic symbols is an unmistakable trademark of Illuminati monuments. Another example of this juxtaposition is the Washington Monument (obelisk) being at the center of circle and a vesica pisces. ~~~~~~~  Inside the circle are sculptures conceived by Ian Rank-Broadley, the artist who was selected to design the face of the Queen on British Coinage. We can see here this artist’s connection with Britain’s elite. The sculpture on the south side of the circle depicts a fatally wounded soldier, totally naked, being carried towards an opening in the wall (representing “the Gates to Eternity”). As you will see in other works in this Memorial, death in this sculpture is very graphic and represented in a non-dignified way. The fragility and the vulnerability of the human body is highlighted as the cadaver is pointed towards the exit of the occult circle. The dead soldier is literally being ”disposed of” since he is no longer of a use for the British Crown. All there will be left of him is a name on a wall. ~~~~~~~  Under the cover of a legitimate and charitable cause, we can again find Illuminati symbolism. The Sands (Stillbirth and NeoNatal Death Society) logo features an All-Seeing Eye with an apparently dead baby inside of it. The sculpture itself depicts a life-size, life-like dead baby, lying on the ground. ~~~~~~~ O ~~~~~~~

~ ~ ~ Illuminati Pyramid in Blagnac, France ~ ~ ~http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=2690Nov 10th, 2009 | By Vigilant Located in a suburb of Toulouse, the “Place de la Révolution” is probably one of the most blatant displays of Illuminati designs in existence: a huge pyramid hovering atop a map of the world. The symbolic meaning of this structure reveals a rather grim and elitist ideology and seems to confirm the conspiracy theorist’s claims: the world is lead by a secret cabal named the Illuminati. Historical ConsiderationsThe Place de la Révolution was built in 1989 to commemorate the bicentennial anniversary of the French Revolution. Modern Historians agree that Freemasonry played a critical role in the unfolding of the revolution. “If one desires to point to a major world event proven to have been inspired by secret society machinations, one need look no further than the French Revolution, which devastated that nation between 1787 and 1799. Revolutionary leaders, in seeking to overthrow the decadent monarchy of King Louis XVI, launched the first national revolution of modern times.
Although popularly believed to have begun due to a public uprising over lack of food and government representation, the record is quite clear that the revolution was instigated by cells of French Masonry and the German Illuminati.
The New Encyclopedia Britannica tells us that in France there arose a political system and a philosophical outlook that no longer took Christianity for granted, that in fact explicitly opposed it… The brotherhood taught by such groups as the Freemasons, members of secret fraternal societies, and the Illuminati, a rationalist secret society, provided a rival to the Catholic sense of community.”
Secret society researcher and author Nesta H. Webster was even more pointed, writing in 1924, “[The Masonic book A Ritual and Illustrations of Freemasonry] contains the following passage, ‘The Masons… originated the Revolution with the infamous Duke of Orleans at their head.’”
Author Bramley wrote, “During the first French Revolution, a key rebel leader was the Duke of Orleans, who was grand master of French Masonry before his resignation at the height of the Revolution. Marquis de Lafayette, the man who had been initiated into the Masonic fraternity by George Washington, also played an important role in the French revolutionary cause. The Jacobin Club, which was the radical nucleus of the French revolutionary movement, was founded by prominent Freemasons.” - Jim Marrs, Rule By SecrecyFar from hiding this fact, French Masons take great pride in this historical accomplishment. Many Masonic monuments were erected in France in 1989 to celebrate Freemasonry’s role in the French revolution. The one in Blagnac is however particularly revealing. It is modern, slightly futuristic even and focuses on “what is left to do” rather than “what has been done”. It describes a world united under the rule of a giant floating pyramid, representing secret societies inside the realm of the Great Architect. The PyramidThe pyramid is composed of a total of thirteen layers, the top two layers of which are separated by a metallic divider. If you have studied any of the works of art or monuments that were inspired by Masonic teachings, you will already know that the number thirteen is constantly represented in various ways. The bottom layers of the pyramid represent the lower degrees of Masonry while the top two, which are separated by the divider, represent the Illuminati – the “hidden degrees”, the capstone of the pyramid. Every single time I talk about Freemasonry on this website, I always refer to those hidden degrees. This is where the “Truth” is revealed and where the decisions are taken. The bottom layers are simply a school of hermeticism and are a means to recruit “those who are worthy”. If you are a Mason and you are not at the top of the hierarchy, represented by the capstone of the pyramid, I am not referring to you and I never did (just had to make this point clear). It is interesting to note that the pyramid on the back of the American dollar bill also contains thirteen layers. This pyramid is literally hovering above a map of the world in mosaic.  The symbolism here could not be more blatant. The pyramid, this symbolic structure representing secret societies operating on every continent, floats above the whole world, dominating it (some might say overshadowing it) and owning it. Water in this structure also bears an important symbolic and spiritual meaning. Emanating from the top of the pyramid, water slowly trickles down each layer to finally end up on the map of the world. Water, a representation of divine wisdom, starts by gracing the top of the pyramid, which represents the “illuminated”, the elite of the world. From the capstone, water descends from one layer to another, “feeding” each Masonic degree with its share of wisdom. The symbolic end result is that the entire world is filled with (or drowning in, depending on the point of view) this knowledge. When viewed in kabbalistic terms, water flowing through thirteen layers or “channels” is a reference to Mem, the Fountain of Wisdom. “Just as the waters of a physical fountain (spring) ascend from their unknown subterranean source (the secret of the abyss in the account of Creation) to reveal themselves on earth, so does the fountain of wisdom express the power of flow from the superconscious source. In the terminology of Kabbalah, this flow is from Keter (“crown”) to Chochmah (“wisdom”). The stream is symbolized in Proverbs as “the flowing stream, the source of wisdom.”
In particular, we are taught that there are thirteen channels of flow from the superconscious source to the beginning of consciousness. These channels correspond to the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy revealed to Moses at Sinai, as well as to the thirteen principles of Torah exegesis, the (superrational) “logic” of Torah.” - source: www.inner.orgThe Bronze TabletsIn front of the pyramid are two bronze tablets, which are very reminiscent of Moses’ 10 Commandments in shape, but engraved with astronomical and planetary glyphs instead of words. The rectangle slab of bronze uniting the two tablets bears the biggest accomplishment of modern illuminism: the Declaration of Human Rights.  The engraving is a reproduction of this classical document: The Declaration contains many Masonic, Illuminist and alchemical symbols such as (starting from the top): the Eye of the Great Architect in glory, the Orobouros (snake eating its tail), the Phrygian cap (the red hat under the Ouroboros) and the fasces. Let’s not forget the two Masonic pillars on each side sustaining everything. “At the visual focus of this illuminated document (and its copies), and set apart with striking contrast, we find a familiar Mithraic motif—a red Phrygian cap set atop the shining white steel of a weapon, itself braced vertically, Excalibur-like, into the presumed bedrock. Should one doubt the symbolic significance of this spear and its Mithraic equivalent, the sword or harpe, attention is directed to the fasces, or barsom,, which otherwise would remain inexplicable in this context. Also, the red tassel situated above the fasces is an important Masonic symbol for the ‘Mystic Tie’ that binds Masons, although they might be of diverse opinion and perspective, into a sacred band of Friends and Brothers; the knot or tie, however, is a more ancient symbol of cosmic trans-terrestrial Union.” -Mark Hoffman, Freemasonry and the Survival of the Eucharistic Brotherhoods
In a documentary on Masonic monuments in Paris, Jacques Ravenne, a French author and high level Freemason said: “The Declaration of Human Rights, which was created in France and gradually adopted around the world, was conceived, discussed and written in Masonic lodges before being released to the public. One can retrace those Masonic origins by the use of symbols, which bear little significance to the profane but are extremely important to the initiate.” - (Translated from French) The most significant symbol is the Eye within the triangle, also found on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States. It is an unmistakable symbol of the Mysteries of secret societies and became the most universally recognized symbol of Illuminism in pop culture. The entire structure is meant to resemble this Eye within a triangle. A hole at the center of the pyramid stands for the Eye of the Great Architect. Notice the paths surrounding the pyramids are meant to resemble rays of glory.Lequeu’s Quote The creators of this structure inscribed at the base of the pyramid its true meaning. One inscription says: LE BONHEUR EST DANS L’ANGLE OÙ LES SAGES SONT ASSEMBLÉS.which can be translated to HAPPINESS IS IN THE ANGLE WHERE THE WISE ARE GATHERED. This phrase is a quote from Jean-Jacques Lequeu, a French architect from the revolutionary era who mixed Masonic principles with visionary designs. The “angle” mentioned in Lequeu’s enigmatic quote is a direct reference to Freemasonry, where architecture and geometry are at the basis their spiritual allegories. The Masonic symbols of the compass and the square and considering God to be “the Great Architect” are proof enough of this fact. In the context of the pyramid however, the quote takes on a specific meaning. The “angle where the wise are gathered” most probably alludes to the divider placed towards the top of the pyramid, at the level of its capstone. As mentioned previously, the top of the pyramid represents the Illuminati, the hidden order which is only accessible to a select few. So the quote says: “True happiness is at the top of the pyramid, the Illuminati, where the wisest unite“. On the other side is another engraving which says: “TEMPLE DE LA SAGESSE SUPREME” - which can be translated to: “TEMPLE OF SUPREME WISDOM”This is most probably the name of the actual structure, which contains obvious Masonic terminology and confirms the above interpretation of its meaning. The “House”The metal frame of a house surrounds the pyramidal structure. This represents the metaphorical creation of the “Great Architect”, a great temple, inside which divine wisdom flows freely. On the other hand, one can interpret this thing as a kind of prison. Notice how the tip of the pyramid reaches above the house. Only the capstone reaches outside the confines of the house
Are the Illuminated the only ones able to escape the prison of the material world? In ConclusionThe Place de la Révolution of Blagnac is one of those monuments which simply does not lie. It celebrates simply, and without any political correctness, the nature of the works of secret societies. The “Temple of Supreme Wisdom” is permeated with symbolism and messages directly alluding to Freemasonry and the Illuminati and hides in plain sight the true philosophy of our world leaders. The French Revolution was mainly carried out by Freemasonry and resulted in a great political success – the creation of the French Republic – the ideals of which radiated across the world. Is it realistic to think that the work of secret societies stopped there? Masonic scholars believe that those events were only the beginning, the first necessary step towards an “enlightened world”. The fact is that History has been nothing more than a series of conspiracies. The French revolution was a conspiracy theory until it became a historical fact. In the same way, the New World Order is now a conspiracy waiting to become a historical fact. There is however no need to keep this conspiracy hidden, the masses are too ignorant to understand what is happening. They drive around monuments celebrating the imminent arrival of an Illuminati-lead New World Order but still deny its existence, automatically referring to those who claim it does exist as in need of “tin foil hats”. Maybe they’re right. Maybe this monument is a big tin foil hat hovering above the world, reminding us daily how stupid we are.

~ W A S H I N G T O N D C ~ READ ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE http://vigilantcitizen.com/?p=1734MANY THANKS TO VIGILANT CITIZEN! Sep 10th, 2009 | By Vigilant | Category: Sinister SitesEXCERPTS:The US Capitol is not simply another governmental building. It is the spiritual center of the United States. Its structure, its art and its symbols all reveal the great importance of secret Fraternities in the shaping of the world most powerful government. We’ll explore the Capitol and discover the features that make this building a Masonic site, an American Temple of Solomon. Capitol Building at Night~ Washington DCThe Capitol is viewed by the average American as the seat of democracy, where big political decisions are taken. Very few recognize the spiritual elements of the architecture and the symbolism of the building which literally makes it a temple of Masonic mysteries. At the center of it all is George Washington, a 33rd degree Freemason being anointed as the “American Christ”. The building of the Capitol involved many notions unknown to the common man yet the builders seemed to give great importance to them: alignment with heavenly bodies, importance of ley lines, occult numerology, spiritual energy, etc. Those things might sound like “crazy New Age stuff” to the average Joe not to the Founding Fathers who attributed great importance the them. Here’s a look at the meaning of the Capitol. <~Built by Freemasonry~>
The Capitol, like all Washington DC, has been almost entirely designed by Freemasons and integrates within its architecture and artwork the “keys to the Craft”. The United States Capitol, at Washington, D.C., was the creation of a succession of architects who were almost all Freemasons. Originally designed by William Thornton (1759-1828), the work was completed by Brother Benjamin Latrobe (a pupil of the English architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell, 1754-1827) who also redesigned it after the War of 1812. The flanking wings and the great dome were added later by Brother Thomas Ustick Walter. - phoenixmasonry.org The laying of the cornerstone by Washington in full Masonic attire The cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol Building was laid with Masonic Honors on September 18, 1793 under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Maryland. At the ceremony, President George Washington presided. Worshipful Brother Washington was assisted by R.W. Bro. Joseph Clarke, Grand Master pro. tem. of Maryland, Wor. Elisha C. Dick, Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22 of Virginia (Washington’s home Lodge) and Wor. Valentine Reintzel, Master of Lodge No. 9 of Maryland (now Potomac Lodge No. 5 of the District of Colombia). - Ibid. —> Geographical Layout <— The Capitol facing the Washington MonumentWashington DC was carefully laid out in accordance to ancient occult principles. The Capitol is a vital part of the design by its location and its shape. The Capitol’s most important feature is of course its massive dome which carries heavy symbolic meaning, as we’ll see later. This dome faces the Washington Monument, the 555.5 foot tall (6666 inches) replica of an Egyptian obelisk. This layout is strikingly similar to St.Peter’s Square in the Vatican, where an obelisk faces a giant dome. St.Peter Square, Vatican. An obelisk facing a dome.The same layout can also be found in Paris, Astana and many other cities. There is no coincidence here: this layout carries an important alchemical meaning. In almost all cultures the dome has been associated with the female principle, the womb, the matrix. Opposed to it is the obelisk, the ancient Egyptian phallic symbol representing the male principle. The union of those two principles gives birth to a third entity, an offspring, that can be described as “spiritual energy”. Whether this energy is symbolic or a palpable reality is something that I’m not (yet) qualified to advance on. Many theories claim that shapes such as pyramids, domes and arches can either store, extract or diffuse energy from their surrounding area but I’ll leave this analysis to someone else. The theme of the union of male and female principles is very common in occult architecture and is surely the most easily recognizable. Let’s look at the Capitol. Imagine a straight line starting at the tip of the Capitol’s dome and going down, right to the crypt. This is how we’ll explore the Capitol. ~0~ Freedom Statue ~0~ Standing at top of the dome of the Capitol is the enigmatic Statue of Freedom standing on a spherical shape, which probably represent Earth. Around this globe is the saying “E Pluribus Unum” (Out of Many, One). She is a female allegorical figure whose right hand holds the hilt of a sheathed sword while a laurel wreath of victory and the Shield of the United States are clasped in her left hand. The heraldic shield is the same as in the Great Seal of the United States, with thirteen stripes, except that the chief has stars (again, thirteen). Her chiton is secured by a brooch inscribed “U.S.” and is partially covered by a heavy, Indian-style fringed blanket thrown over her left shoulder. She symbolically faces east towards the main entrance of the building which means that incidentally, the sun never sets on Freedom.So who is this Goddess standing on top of America’s most important building and overlooking the state Capital? She’s certainly not the Virgin Mary (you’d be surprised at the number of people who think that) and she cannot be positively associated with any ancient goddess. Truth is, the district bears her name. D.C. = District of Columbia. She is the allegorical goddess of America, the typically American mythological figure, Columbia. ~~~~ O ~ The Dome ~ O ~~~~ The dome of the Capitol features in its occulus an incredibly significant painting that reveals the philosophical, spiritual and political aims of the Founding Fathers. Rare are the writers have discussed the gnostic, alchemical and esoteric meaning of this work, yet it has been visited by millions of tourists. The interesting book “Freedom’s Gate” written by William Henry and Mark Gray is the only work I’ve found analyzing the mystical meaning of this painting called “The Apotheosis”. “The Apotheosis” is the work of Constantino Brumidi, an Italian artist who became famous for his paintings commissioned by the Vatican and Pope Pius IX. In 1848, an attempt to overthrow papal power in the Vatican was led by Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini, which lead to a period of chaos and the fleeing of the Pope. The revolution wasn’t however successful and papal power was restored by a Europeen coalition. Surprisingly, Brumidi was arrested in and found guilty of leading one of Mazzini’s revolutionary groups to overthrow the Vatican. He served some of his sentence in prisons but was later permitted to leave Italy for the USA under the condition that he would never come back. He then made a name for himself in the USA by working for occult fraternities sucha s the Jesuits and such. Burmidi’s story is in perfect accordance with the Capitol’s status as the “Anti-Vatican” or the mirror, Mystery Religion opposite of the Vatican. Let’s look at Brumidi’s magnum opus, the Apotheosis. ~O~An apotheosis can be defined as the exaltation of a subject to divine level. In other words, this painting depicts the elevation of George Washington to a god-man status, like Jesus Christ. He is shown seated on a rainbow and behind him is the gateway, the vortex, the sungate to the heavens (the spirit world). As stated above, the dome esoterically represents the womb giver of life. Washington is about to exit the womb of the dome to experience rebirth as an immortal god. William Henry has appropriately noted that Jesus Christ’s divinity was portrayed in a similar way in ancient religious art.  Freedom (aka Columbia) shooing away kings and tyrants Freedom (aka Columbia) shooing away kings and tyrants Poseidon, king of Atlantis and his daughter Venus Vulcan, god of Fire and also esoterically the god of Alchemy Toth Hermes with his Caduceus and winged hatHermes, Poseidon, Vulcan, Freedom, Ceres and Minerva are meant to respectively represent commerce, marine, mechanics, war, agriculture and wisdom. The painting hides however an esoteric, alchemical meaning.~~~> Alchemical Meaning <~~~ Alchemy is both a philosophy and a practice with an aim of achieving ultimate wisdom as well as immortality, involving the improvement of the alchemist as well as the making of several substances described as possessing unusual properties. The ultimate goal of alchemy is the achievement of the “Great Work” which is the transmutation of base metals into gold or, esoterically, the transmutation of men into gods. The painting reflects this harmony between the elements of alchemy, which are air, fire, water and earth who are embodied respectively by Hermes, Vulcan, Ceres and Poseidon. George Washington himself is portrayed in a similar fashion as the figure of “Alchemy” on the very esoteric Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral. “Alchemy” on Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral Washington in Rotunda pointing towards a book“In alchemical symbolism Washington’s throne is the Seat of Wisdom. He is comparable to Alchemy onthe Seal of the Great Work at Notre Dame Cathedral. Commenting on this seal in The Mystery of the Cathedrals, Fulcanelli says Alchemy is represented by a woman with her head ‘in’ the clouds. Seated on a throne, she holds in her left hand a scepter, the sign of royal power, while her right hand supports two books, one closed (esotericism), the other open (exotericism). Supported between her knees and running up her body is a the scala philosphorum — the ladder of the philosophers — also known as the scala dei or stairway to heaven. Like Alchemy, George Washington is in the clouds. Instead of a scepter he has a downturned sword. He directs us to an open book. This is the book of light, the book of heavenly secrets. What are these secrets?” - W. Henry, Freedom’s Gate ~~~~~~~~O MISCELLANEOUS O~~~~~~~~It is impossible to include all of the Capitol’s noteworthy features in a single article but here are some interesting photos. Rejected Washington StatueThis sculpture depicting a bare chested and fiery Washington (modeled after Zeus of Olympia) was meant to be put on display at the Capitol. It caused controversy and made people uncomfortable in very Christian, very puritan early America. Nobody really understood why they had to look at a naked Washington. They also did not understand why he was portrayed as a pagan god. It is now in the Smithsonian. (EDIT: Looks like BAPHOMET) ~> Prayer Room Window <~n 1955, a prayer room was set up next to the Capitol’s rotunda. The window depicts the god-man Washington praying and contains some other interesting symbols you might recognize.  O ~~ To Conclude ~~ OSimply put, the Capitol is America’s ceremonial center. It is where Americans celebrate their new President’s inauguration and where they morn morn those who’ve deceased. Whether we are witnessing Obama marching up the 33 steps to the Capitol after his inauguration or seeing Gerald Ford’s casket on display under “The Apotheosis”, all rituals are fully permeated with occult symbolism. It is simply impossible to understand this country, its rulers and their philosophy without understanding their Masonic origin.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Related Reading“ Freedom’s Gate” by Willam Henry and Dr. Mark Gray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just have some difficulty figuring out how the masons are involved in the NWO - they invite all kinds of people to join them including my OH !
(He being from another country and a tad naive was flattered until i told him no way was he to join !)
I guess i just dont "get" how they are all linked up, though i do see masonic symbols everywhere !
