my experience with the freemasons is that they have trouble deciding what to have for lunch next week. I doubt they could conspire much past toasting bread at night while their old ladies slept

Yes, it IS an owl. Some people have said this is linked to the same owl at Bohemian Grove and also the same owl that can be seen in Google Earth when you look at the street lines of Washington D.C. (look near the Washington Monument and Capitol Building and the streets form an owl sitting on top of a pyramid)

Is it all related? Who knows… but it is certainly interesting.

Seriously guys, don’t be a bunch of kooks. I am a Freemason, and the stuff you hear is nonsense (although, keep spewing it. It helps membership (for those who know the right word)).

And by the way, all Freemasons know that the pyramid is thirteen steps (ie not completed) because America is a work in progress, just like that pyramid. Just wait until 2013. That’s when the Masonic fun really begins.

The article is informative.
The comments are what is pure bullshÃ¯t.

Its an owl (on the front). The ‘founders’ of this country were Illuminists.
This article is pure deception.

I have been aware of the controversy over the great seal for quite some time.
It always surprises me that everyone (including Ethan) assume the obverse is the side with the eagle. IT IS NOT!
The obverse is the pyramid side. Notice that the words “The Great Seal” appear under the pyramid side (obverse). Under the eagle side appear the words “Of The United States”(reverse). Where I grew up, we read left to right.
Be cool.

speaking of copy/paste…

Paul, is this site where you retrieved that information?

http://www.ourstrangeworld.net/index.php/main/article/the_forgotten_american_presidents/

The first comment which reads:
The office of the President was created in the Constitution, so the idea that there was a President before the office even existed is ludicrous.

Hansonâ€™s title was â€œPresident of the United States in Congress Assembledâ€, and he was not the first to hold it. He was elected by delegates of the Continental Congress, not by national election. He served under the Articles of Confederation, which was an entirely different (and failed) government than the one put in place by the Constitution in 1788.

So, no. He wasnâ€™t the first President of the United States. He held an office which shared a similar title to the President of the United States.

makes more sense than the article.
