The Great Seal

[Dodgergirl]

The keepers of the Great Seal of the United States, the familiar emblem on the back of the $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 our 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.

This is pretty funny. Ok so in the article it says freemasons don't run the country. Yet it admits that members of the government including the President were freemasons. So when the seal was made a freemason was running the country. Then they excuse the use of freemason symbols by saying they are used by other entities. I don't ever want to hear these people talk about revisionist history again.

Lol, I agree, especially when the first paragraph of the article ends with " ... if you believe the government, that is. " ~ rolleyes:Just catches me as pretty funny..... :D but then sometimes I am easily tickled~

I don't know where all these loony stories come from. Everybody knows the Seal was given to our founding fathers by extraterrestrial aliens. What few people know is these aliens were big time practical jokers and the seal is actually an alien sign for "Lavatory"
