I knew about the Pentagram and owl before. I just noticed a Star of David in the first pic


I blame obama

That's supposed to be an owl?

some of this would have to do with the tools available for drafting layouts.
the basic triangles are the 45* & the 30*/60* triangle
diagonals are handy for quicker thruput of traffic than square blocks
so, you get diagonals using the basic triangles, which make the classic shapes, which are basic geometry
these basic triangles are also easy to make distance & area calculations with. direct relationships between the sides.
like the 30*/60* triangle. the base is 2x the short side.

and, when drawn out, its fun to make shapes.

You believe that?

Seems like good city planning, though I am a bigger fan of Houston's series of squares.

Who?

I'm not in a position to confirm one way or the other(not being a Mason or a part of any power-group-dealio), but it would not surprise me in the slightest if the conspiracy's were all true..

The Kryptos sculpture has yet to be decoded and yet it sits in front of the CIA headquarters.

Wow! Lots more pentagrams hidden here:



Who woulda' thought?

So youd say it looks like stars because it was supposed to, because of the "stars and stripes" theme? The ones on the flag dont happen to point downward though.

A "pentagram" is any 5-pointed star made by extending the sides of a pentagon until they meet.

Throw into the owl bit this thing that supposedly happens in July in a place in California called the Bohemian Grove. A ritual called the cremation of cares where they burn a fire at the base of a Giant owl statue and the history of that. Where a few presidents and leaders have been and are members of the "Bohemian Club". Mixed with what the owl historically stands for in other cultures. What they called the thing they worshipped, Molech, Moloch, Malik, and what they sacrificed. It all gets a little weird.

What did owls represent to native Americans?

How do you get that when I just said the definition is "5-pointed STAR"?

It's also a long tradition for designers, artists, and craftsmen to embed symbols of personal significance in an object or design. Some of these symbols may be meaningful or used as personal signatures, but they are frequently just private jokes. Many, if not most, U.S. satellites and spacecraft have private symbols hidden on them somewhere ... either as "in" jokes or as vanity signatures of their creators.

Looks like a peed off chipmunk or rabbit to me, but I can't really tell. Could someone superimpose a big mushroom cloud over the whole thing so I can get a clearer idea of what to look at?


(I wonder how many watch lists I'm on?)

Like most conspiracies, you can see whatever you want. Some want to see an owl, so they will see one.

What was Benjamin Banneker thinking?
