 A recent nighttime
photograph of the Georgia Guidestones
Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized
civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that
about?
– Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Program
It’s a beautiful, warm, November Saturday in Georgia and the
defaced granite monument looms above Mart Clamp while he
uses a stonemason’s hammer and chisel to patiently chip away
at the stubborn polyurethane splattered across the Swahili
lettering his father sandblasted into the hard rock thirty years
ago. Inexplicably, branchy tufts of hay rain down in slow motion
from high up in the blue skies overhead like a vast army of
eight-inch pagan fairies who are too tired to keep afloat in the
still air. Children nearby playfully roll the hay from heaven into
a wispy ball about four feet across.
A large man with broad, square shoulders and a crushing
handshake, Mart Clamp was born to work stone. Quick to smile
with a youthful face, Clamp is a friendly man whom children
instinctively like. “I don’t understand why people would do
something like this,” Clamp remarks as he cleaves off a piece
of polyurethane taking along with it a thin sliver of underlying
granite. “Up until the last year or two, the worst thing they’d do
is smear chicken blood everywhere.”
It’s all more than a little surreal.

Mart Clamp chips away at recent

vandalism at the Georgia Guidestones.
Crowded next to the South Carolina border in northeast
Georgia, Elberton, aptly the county seat of Elbert County, is the
self proclaimed “Granite Capital of the World.” Home to at least
42 active quarries, chances are good that regardless of where
you live in the United States there’s a chunk of Elbert County
nearby. For the last century, buildings, monuments,
countertops and, of course, gravestones have been built and
laid all over the world using Elberton granite.
 A granite map of
Georgia with Elberton marked in red
Elbert County is so rich in the durable igneous stone that
practically everything there is built of granite. Homes, road
signs, banks, the community center, the county jail and even
the grossly oversized, 20,000 seat Blue Devils high school
football stadium are all constructed out of the 400-million year
old, sparkling rock, a combination of gray feldspar, quartz and
mica. Unsurprisingly, little Elberton, with a population under
5,000, probably has the highest concentration of monuments in
the world.
Elbert County is also the home to thousands of stoneworkers:
explosive experts, stone cutters, sand blasters and heavy
equipment operators specializing in handling huge blocks of
granite. Almost exclusively male, these stoneworking men
combine to form the backbone of the Elbert County economy.
For the most part, these men are the hardworking, salt of the
earth types that have come to symbolize classic Americana.
But it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that Elbert County is also
home to a thriving community of Freemasons. After all, at least
one major branch of modern Masonry got its start among the
stonemasons of England, Scotland and Ireland in the late 16th
Century.
“I know nearly all of the men who worked on this monument
and nearly all of them were good Christians and good Masons,”
Clamp maintained. “I know that none of them would have
worked on the Guidestones if they believed that there was
anything evil or untoward about them.”
But that is not quite accurate. Nearly thirty years previously to
the day, Mart Clamp’s father, Charlie Clamp, was sandblasting
over 4,000 4-inch letters into the eight faces of the four
Guidestones. Forebodingly, as he carved the words “to an age
of reason” into the Pyramid Blue granite capstone, Charlie
Clamp says he heard “strange music and disjointed voices.”
The Elberton Granite Museum attendant, a warm, amiable man
in his sixties, also revealed that the Guidestones have been a
persistent source of controversy with the local churches. “The
churches in this area have never been too happy about it,” he
said in a perfect, melodious Georgia accent. In a Los Angeles
Times article, the man who constructed the monument, Joe
Fendley, remarked that he “got a lot of poison calls and poison
letters” over the Guidestones. “I’ve heard preachers say it’s
evil,” confided Hudson Cone of the Elberton Granite Association
in that same article.
In his interview with us for this article, retired banker Wyatt C.
Martin, the one man who knows the true, secret identity of the
initiator of the Georgia Guidestones, lamented about all of the
attention he has gotten over the years from witches, pagans
and “nutcases.” Mr. Martin, a devout Christian man who is now
nearly 80-years old, nevertheless remains proud of his
contributions to the Guidestones.
Gary Jones, publisher of the Elberton Star newspaper, probably
best summarized local feelings when he told us, “None of the
churches around here ever liked the monument much, but the
Guidestones literally put Elberton on the map, so people in
Elberton are pretty protective of them.”
After a recent spate of increasingly severe vandalism, Elbert
County was protective enough to put up two wireless
surveillance cameras, even though the cameras remained
unpowered during our recent visit to the monument.
 Two recently installed surveillance cameras
remain unpowered and pose a hollow threat to vandals.
Our investigation in Elbert County led to the discovery of an
apparent, ongoing attempt to topple the English language
Guidestone. We passed on photographic evidence to Jones
showing that a
large notch was recently cut from the top of that Guidestone
near the support pin attaching that stone to the capstone.

notch that was recently cut into the English language

Anger directed against the monument has only grown more
intense over the years. Many believe the Georgia Guidestones
advocate – if not outright promise – genocide at an almost
unimaginable scale, promote eugenics and hint towards a New
World Order global government where personal rights are only
granted through service to a tyrannical world state. Some even
claim the Guidestones are the product of a Satanic cult.
Interestingly, we have found evidence that a date is encoded in
the Guidestones – a date that is only a few days away – and an
event planned for this date may very well lend credence to the
very darkest of sinister theories.
What is the truth about this modern, mini-Stonehenge? Do the
Guidestones contain secret messages? Who is behind this
enigmatic granite edifice? What’s going to happen on January
4th, 2010, a date that appears to be deliberately hidden in the
design of the monument? Can we decode the Georgia
Guidestones?

The Mystery of Robert C. Christian
If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a
killer virus to lower human population levels.
– Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, patron of the World Wildlife
Fund
The official Georgia Guidestones creation story is centered on a
mysterious character who used the pseudonym “Robert C.
Christian.” As the story goes, a middle aged man walked into
Elberton Granite Finishing Company on a Friday afternoon in
June, 1979. It just so happened that no one else in the office
was available to talk to him, so the company’s president, the
energetic, ambitious and reportedly quirky Freemason Joe
Fendley, greeted the man who introduced himself as Robert C.
Christian.
Busy with payroll, Fendley initially didn’t take Christian
seriously when the odd stranger began describing an elaborate
granite monument that he wanted Fendley’s company to build.
However, as the refined, silver-haired and well dressed
Christian elaborated on project details involving solid granite
slabs larger than anything anyone in the area had ever
produced, Fendley took notice.
Joe Fendley whipped out a calculator – and a metric conversion
table since R.C. Christian made all of his specifications in
meters, an unusual metrology for Georgia during the 70s – and
quickly provided a rough cost estimate. Fendley deliberately
made sure to err well on the high side, but Christian didn’t
flinch at the price. Fendley then carefully explained that no
monument that big had ever been quarried in Elbert County
and that consultants would have to be hired to provide the
necessary astronomical and language translation expertise, so
the price he quoted was only a rough estimate and could not be
guaranteed.
Undeterred, Christian went on to explain that he represented “a
small group of loyal Americans who believe in God” and want to
“leave a message for future generations.” He then asked
Fendley to suggest a local bank to serve as a financial
intermediary.
As soon as Christian walked out of his office, Fendley
telephoned his friend and Granite City Bank president Wyatt C.
Martin and warned him of a “kook who wants to build some
kind of crazy monument.” About half-an-hour later, Christian
appeared at Martin’s office and quickly dispelled most of
banker’s skepticism with his expensive suit of clothes and
intelligent, articulate demeanor. After introductory pleasantries,
Christian recounted his mission to Martin and explained that
“Robert C. Christian” was a pseudonym that he chose because
he was a Christian.
As a banker, Martin insisted on knowing Christian’s real name
so that he could investigate his finances before the project
could begin. Christian complied, but conditioned that he and
the group he represented wanted to remain anonymous
forever. Martin agreed to never disclose Robert C. Christian’s
true identity.
According to the Guidestones’ official story, Joe Fendley, who
died recently, and Wyatt Martin were the only people to have
met Christian. By that same story, Martin is the only person
who ever knew Christian’s true identity. When we spoke with
Mr. Martin several days ago, he remained committed to his vow
of secrecy taken more than thirty years ago. However, we have
made discoveries that shed light on who might really be behind
the Georgia Guidestones and we will discuss our findings later
in this article.
Christian asked Martin to find him five acres of land for the
monument. He initially wanted the land to be in Hancock
County on a line stretching west from Augusta. However, Martin
argued against that location and said Elbert County would be
cheaper and easier to accommodate. Christian agreed and, at a
later date, settled on a five-acre plot on the Mullenix farm, a
spot Martin favored. Purchased for $5,000 on October 1, 1979,
the location is a little over seven miles north of Elberton on a
ridge that is supposed to be the highest point in Elbert County.
Christian had the land deeded to the county with grazing rights
given to the Mullenix family for at least twenty years. The land
is to remain otherwise undeveloped in “natural conditions.”
Over the years, a number of inconsistencies with the official
story have arisen. For instance, Christian originally maintained
that he was only one of a group of individuals who had planned
the Georgia Guidestones for more than 20 years, but in his
book written more than five years later, Common Sense
Renewed, he is listed as “the author and sponsor of the Georgia
Guidestones Monument.” Later in the book he writes that he is
“the originator of the Georgia Guidestones and the sole author
of its inscriptions.”
“Over the years, I’ve begun to suspect the same thing, that the
whole thing came from only one man or at most one man and
his family,” Martin told us recently.
In the Elberton Granite Museum’s extensive guidebook on the
Georgia Guidestones, Christian is said to have vanished for so
long after his initial visit that Fendley and Martin came to
believe Christian’s appearance was simply a prank pulled off by
Fendley’s Shrine Club buddies. However, in a later interview
with Wired Magazine, Wyatt Martin claims that Christian
returned on the Monday following the Friday of initial contact.
Also, the museum guidebook reported that “upon completion of
the project Martin said that all material concerning the project
was shredded,” but in his recent Wired interview, Martin
admitted that, in fact, he still has all of the Georgia Guidestone
records along with all of the letters from Christian. Every last
document related to the monument are packed inside a 1983,
hard-sided, plastic, IBM computer case sitting in the back of
Wyatt Martin’s garage.
Fendley meticulously documented the quarrying and building of
the Georgia Guidestones monument, a tactic that backfired on
him because his deliberate preplanning for a media blitz gave
fuel to the critics who saw the Guidestones as nothing but a big
publicity stunt Fendley and Wyatt concocted. People liked to
say that “Ole Joe” was the most famous Elbertonian since “Old
Dan Tucker,” the 18th century preacher who was memorialized
in the still popular folk song of the same name. To his grave,
Fendley denied these allegations, but he nevertheless enjoyed
the attention the monument brought and used the publicity as
momentum to gain the mayoral office of Elberton in 1980.
Nevertheless, Fendley’s photo record of the Georgia
Guidestones construction project is included in the museum
guidebook and is valuable for the many details it documents.
About nine months after the secretive first meetings with
Christian, the monument was formally unveiled on March 22,
1980, in front of a crowd of around 400. The guidebook lists
more than eighty people involved in the project. U.N. language
experts and college professors were used for the challenging
language translations and transliterations. Scientists and
engineers were contracted to oversee the project’s
astronomical details.
The crowd for the unvieling was impressive, but one important
character was missing. “I don’t think R.C. Christian has ever
even visited the monument to this day,” Mr. Martin confided to
us.
Although there are reasons to believe that the R.C. Christian
story is almost a complete fabrication, the few “facts” about
him from the story are:
• R.C. Christian visited Stonehenge before designing the
Georgia Guidestones.
• He was over sixty years old when he wrote Common
Sense Renewed in 1986.
• He claimed to be a Christian, but his writings suggests
that he might instead be a follower of Alice A. Bailey’s
New Age movement who venerate “The Christ” but also
worship other deities.
• He had a great-grandmother from Georgia.
• He served in World War II.
• He was very well traveled and sent checks to Martin to
pay for the monument from banks located all over the
country.
• He was at least moderately wealthy.
• He liked Thomas Paine.
• He distributed his book to “several thousand political
officials and shapers of public opinion throughout the
world. All members of the United States Congress received
copies.”
• He quoted Henry James’ remarks about Stonehenge.
 • He was described as a “gray-haired middle-aged
gentleman” when he met with Fendley and Martin in 1979.
We’ll discuss Robert C. Christian’s ideas expounded in Common
Sense Renewed later in this article.

The Monument
Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism
and Alchemy, conceals its secrets from all except the Adepts
and Sages, or the Elect, and uses false explanations and
misinterpretations of its symbols to mislead those who deserve
only to be misled; to conceal the Truth, which it calls Light,
from them, and to draw them away from it.
– Albert Pike, Morals and dogma of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
Composed of four “Guidestones,” a capstone and a central
“Gnomen Stone,” the Georgia Guidestones is a granite
monument located on top of a modest hill next to Georgia State
Highway 77, a little over seven miles north of the town of
Elberton. Although the location is purportedly the highest point
within Elbert County, this is a rather dubious designation since
the pancake flat surrounding acres appear to be at least as
high in elevation.
The stones of the monument are secured together with eight
inch, stainless steel dowel pins that are 1-5/8 inches thick.
Bedrock was excavated to a depth of two feet for the
monument’s foundation. The support stones rest on a frame of
iron reinforced concrete. The combined weight of the
monument including its buried support stones is about 119
tons.
Although hyped as “overwhelming in size,” the Georgia
Guidestones structure is really not particularly large. The
Georgia Guidestones would only be an average sized
monument in Washington D.C. and would be dwarfed by many
of the larger monuments there. Loosely and deliberately
modeled after Stonehenge, the Georgia Guidestones is much
smaller. Stonehenge is both taller (over 24 feet tall versus 18
feet) and covers far more area (the extant stone structures of
Stonehenge stretch over an area nearly 40 yards across, while
the Georgia Guidestones can be enclosed within a 20’x24’
rectangle).
Mart Clamp, who owns Clamp Memorials in Elberton, estimated
that it would cost about $500,000 to build the Georgia
Guidestones today. Gary Jones said that he’s been told the
monument cost around $225,000 when it was constructed in
1980. However, Wyatt Martin, the banker who handled all of
the funds for the Guidestones, says that figure is much too high
but did not provide a cost estimate. To be sure, it’s still a
sizable sum, but well within reach of many groups. In fact,
many individuals could have easily afforded to pay for the
Georgia Guidestones, somewhat diminishing the case that the
monument could have only been erected by a cabal of deep
pocketed global elite.
The monument provides four astronomical functions:
1. Polaris, the North Star, is visible through a hole drilled in the
Gnomen stone. Unfortunately, this sighting hole is misaligned
and poorly executed. It takes effort to glimpse Polaris since it is
barely visible in the extreme right limit of th
e misshaped hole.

The Polaris sighting hole

2. The four Guidestones are aligned in a paddlewheel formation
pointing to the limits of the 18.6 year lunar declination cycle.
Also called the “lunar standstill,” this regular phenomenon
appears to have been important to the Bronze Age, megalithic
constructing societies of Britain and Ireland. Archaeological
evidence indicates that some Ancient American Indian cultures
also tracked the lunar standstill. Today, Neopagans place value
on the lunar declination cycle.
3. Weather allowing, every day at noon the sun will shine
through a 7/8 inch hole drilled through the capstone onto the
south face of the Gnomen stone. Reportedly, the day of the
year can be ascertained by the location of the light spot, but we
could not discern any markings on the Gnomen stone to aid in
this function. However, the upper third of the Gnomen stone’s
south side is machined much smoother than the remainder of
the rock-pitched construction.

The noontime sun aperture

4. The Gnomen stone, presumably named because it marks
time somewhat like the gnomen finger of a sundial, is also
slotted to allow viewing of sunrise and sunset throughout the
year. The limits mark the summer and winter solstices. The fall
and spring equinoxes are marked with a groove at the center of
the slot.

The solstice / equinox slot

To the west of the monument, a large granite marker stone
located flat on the ground explains these astronomical features.
It also provides a few basic monument measurements and a
diagram identifying the languages used on the capstone. The
main function of the marker stone is to identify the location of a
time capsule buried six feet beneath it. However, the dates for
the burial and opening of the capsule remain blank and many
Elberton residents believe nothing was ever buried there.

The large, granite marker stone to the west of the monument

Our metal detector could not locate anything beneath the
marker stone, but we did observe four small hits, each about a
foot away from the marker stone in the four cardinal directions.
However, the Guidestones have been used frequently for pagan
sacrifices and the marker stone has sustained damage recently
due to crude attempts to dig up the time capsule underneath it,
so the hits we obtained might have been caused by caches or
offerings left by worshipers — which seems to occur often — or
simply trash left by vandals.
Flora Smith, 12, and Evie Smith, 10, created a 3d model of the
Georgia Guidestones in Google Sketchup. YouTube transcoding
produced minor corruption at the start of the video.
Wyatt Martin confirmed that the time capsule was never buried
and that the monument is, in fact, incomplete. “R.C. Christian
had hoped that the centerpiece he erected would inspire
people to build twelve more Guidestones based on the lunar
calendar and inscribed with more languages,” Mr. Martin
explained, “There was a Guidestones Foundation set up to
collect money for this, but it has since been shut down after the
couple died who were running it.”
The scope and severity of vandalism has increased dramatically
over the last two years. The monument is covered in graffiti,
much of it obscene. Some messages denounce the New World
Order, some messages are written in code, some mock and
insult politicians and a few messages promise the fiery sword of
God’s justice for those behind the Guidestones.
However, Elberton county volunteers like Mart Clamp have
become good at removing the spray paint and marker ink
regularly left by disquieted visitors. Blood, although common, is
trivial to clean and will eventually vanish on its own. The
polyurethane splattered across the English and Swahilli
Guidestone faces is much more problematic, requiring Clamp to
chisel it away.
A movie appeared on the Internet last year claiming
responsibility for a wave of vandalism that occurred at that
time.

Promise to The New World Order at The Georgia

GuideStones

Another video, full of profanity, soon followed claiming to
identify the masked vandal as radio talk show personality Jim
Host.

More problematic than the paint or polyurethane is the damage

done to the marker stone during obvious attempts to dig up the
time capsule underneath it. The marker stone has been
chipped away on its west side and a small part of the northwest
corner has been broken off.
As mentioned earlier, the most severe damage of all is a large
notch recently cut into the English language Guidestone near
the stainless steel pin securing that Guidestone to the
capstone. It appears that the damage was made over the
course of about a year in an ongoing effort to topple that
Guidestone.

Humanity’s Tombstone
A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline
from present levels, would be ideal.
– Ted Turner, founder of CNN in Atlanta, Georgia, Kappa Sigma
alumnus and donor of $1-billion to the United Nations
Of course, none of these details would ordinarily raise an
eyebrow, much less cause the raging storm of controversy that
may ultimately lead to the complete destruction of the Georgia
Guidestones. No, what enrages many people are the ten
messages inscribed on the eight faces of the monument,
written in eight different languages: English, Classical Hebrew,
Swahili, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Hindi.
Author and political activist Mark Dice, a highly vocal critic of
the monument who is calling for the destruction of the Georgia
Guidestones, maintains that the messages are the “Ten
Commandments of the Illuminatti.” Some people call the
granite monument “humanity’s tombstone.”
Indeed, almost everyone we talked to agreed that the ten
Georgia Guidestones dictums are intended for a decimated
earth. “Absolutely, the Georgia Guidestones are rules for a
post-Apocalyptic world,” affirmed Naunie Batchelder, a psychic
who favors the monument so much that she was married in the
shadow of the Guidestones.
No, controversy arises from whether or not the Apocalypse is
planned or endorsed by the sponsors of the Georgia
Guidestones.
Robert Christian correctly anticipated that his ten rules etched
with 4” high letters into giant granite slabs and expressed in
eight different languages would be interpreted as
commandments to the world. He denies this. “They are not
commandments. We have no authority to command.” The
latter might be true, but one gets the distinct impression that
Christian is not sincere about the former.
His Guidestone pronouncements hint at the creation of a new
world government, commonly referred to as the “New World
Order” by his critics. Other commandments seem to support
eugenics policies. It even appears that he suggest that rights
will only be conferred if service to the state is rendered. Among
Masonic themes, Christian wants to install a global language,
perhaps like the one that purportedly existed under King
Nimrod during the construction of the Tower of Babel.
The first Guidestone commandment sets a global population
target of only 500-million. Considering that about 6.6-billion
people are alive today, this represents a 93 percent population
reduction. Worse, in his book Common Sense Renewed, Robert
Christian reveals that his initial 500-million global population
target might be too high for him only six years after the
monument was erected.

Robert Christian elaborates upon his Georgia Guidestones

messages in his book Common Sense Renewed

In that book, which expounds upon his strange and nebulous

Guidestone messages, R.C. Christian removes all doubt about
his support for a global government. Christian calls for a
“rational world order” and a “global rule by reason,” the latter
phrase bringing to mind the French Revolution and its very
unreasonable Reign of Terror. And terror you should feel.
While Christian is very careful to season his book with lots of
flowery rhetoric, he does so to conceal and make palatable his
extreme views for a new “rational world order,” a phrase he
uses several times in his book. “We believe each human being
has a purpose,” “Humans are special creatures,” “each child
takes its place in the human story,” “every child must be
wanted, needed and loved,” are phrases that soften the fact
Robert Christian advocates mass sterilization programs,
considers human reproduction to no longer be “exclusively a
personal matter,” demands the state “have a voice” and
“power of direction” in regulating a couple’s decision to have
children.
After all, Christian believes “bringing unneeded children” into
the world is “evil.” Of course, the state gets to decide if your
children are “needed.”
And regarding the eugenics question, Christian is very much in
favor of state run human breeding programs.
Through a state run eugenics program, Christian believes the
world can produce “healthier and more productive human
beings” over each succeeding generation. “Superior human
intelligence, compassion and drive” and other “desirable
mental and physical qualities” can also be enhanced under
such eugenic conditions.
Humorously yet sinisterly, Christian cites “docility” and
“loyalty” achieved through selective breeding in dogs as
evidence that “comparable but more important modifications”
in human behavior can be achieved through eugenics.
In R.C. Christian’s “Age of Reason,” even if the state allows you
to have children, you will be required to raise them under strict
conditions so as to “mold their characters and to develop their
potentials as socially worthwhile adults.”
That is, if the state even allows you to keep them.
Because even if you and your spouse are considered good
breeding stock, the state might find you “temperamentally
unsuited for parenthood.” In which case, your children will be
transferred “to the care of others capable of nurturing them
into well adjusted adulthood.”
No, Christian does not see people when he looks at us; he sees
cattle:
Humanity has successfully applied practical genetic principles
in developing domesticated plants and animals. It is now within
our power to begin the domestication of our own species in a
parallel fashion.
And don’t think that you are safe just because you lined up for
voluntary sterilization.
For instance, if the economy is bad and you lose your job, in
Robert Christian’s rational world order, you will have to become
a slave of the state to survive. You won’t be able to vote and
you will be compelled to work jobs often held by illegal
immigrants, who will then be displaced back to their native
lands. If you don’t like your job and quit, you will starve.
Not only will you have to be suitably employed or own a private
business to vote, you will also have to pass both intelligence
and “educational requirements” tests to prove to the state that
you are worthy
of the right of suffrage. Want to run for public office? Robert
Christian has more tests that you will need to pass first.
Speaking of rights, you will have none if Christian gets his way.
Rights to him are privileges that the state will only bestow upon
you if you properly serve the state.
And don’t forget your identity card! In Christian’s nightmare
world, everyone is required to carry with them a unique
biometric ID card. Without one you will not be able to get work
or get government help.
Okay, so you are a good citizen in Christian’s new age world.
You might be allowed to have children. You might be allowed to
raise them. You might be lucky enough to find a suitable job so
that you can vote.
Just be sure not to get sick or injured, because Christian
believes the state must ration health care “favoring those
individuals whose continuing lives are most valuable” to the
state.
But you were injured because your new Halliburton electric
toothbrush exploded in your right hand, blowing it off at the
wrist and blinding you for life. Surely, you have recourse to
litigation. No, Christian wants to place caps on litigation and let
financial damage beyond this limit fall to his state’s wonderfully
efficient and fair health and welfare system.
Unfortunately, that means that since you can no longer work,
you will lose your voting privileges, almost certainly lose your
child because you will not be able to care for him properly on
welfare and you will receive the lowest standard of medical
care available because you are no longer productive for the
state.
It’s all very rational and reasonable in Christian’s mind.
And now that we know the real meaning of R.C. Christian’s
otherwise nebulous granite platitudes, here is a description of
all of his writing on that cold, stone edifice.
The capstone bears the message “Let These Be Guidestones To
An Age Of Reason” written in the ancient languages that play a
central role in Masonic theology: Babylonian Cuneiform,
Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Classical Greek and Sanskrit.
R.C. Christian’s Ten Commandments for a post-Apocalyptic
world are:
1.Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance
with nature.
2.Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
3.Unite humanity with a living new language.
4.Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered
reason.
5.Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6.Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a
world court.
7.Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8.Balance personal rights with social duties.
9.Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the
infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth – Leave room for nature –
Leave room for nature.
Faced with the grim realities Robert Christian expressed in
detail through Common Sense Renewed, supporters of the
monument don’t want to believe it. “The builders of the
Georgia Guidestones didn’t write the book,” psychic Naunie
Batchelder insisted, “they are enlightened and the monument
is a place of peace and light.” She continued, “That book is a
lie, a deception.”
But in fact, a more apt description of the Georgia Guidestones
really is “humanity’s tombstone.” The fact is Robert Christian
wants most of us dead and those few left won’t be treated like
humans.

Who is R.C. Christian?

Wyatt C. Martin is a warm, friendly, gregarious Christian man. A
genealogy buff, Mr. Martin asks me about my ancestry. I tell
him that one of my father’s relatives traced my family tree
back to the 1100’s showing that I am a direct descendant of
Geoffrey Plantagenet, father of the House of Plantagenet.
Martin finds this interesting and talks with me at length about
his family’s rich history.
Wyatt Martin is important to this article because he is the only
person who knows the true identity of Robert C. Christian.
There are three primary suspects.
Joe H. Fendley, Sr.: “I can tell you that there are a lot of
people in the granite industry who believe to this day that Joe
Fendley is having a big chuckle at all of us from way up there in
that Big Granite Monument in the Sky,” laughed Elberton Star
Publisher Gary Jones, “most all of them think Ole Joe pulled off
the Guidestones as a publicity stunt.”
That sentiment is not unique. Dr. Gloria Bader Merchant, wife of
the second suspect on our list, thinks Joe Fendley might have
concocted R.C. Christian. “Joe Fendley was very enthusiastic
about the Guidestones; it was his project and very personal for
him; he ran everything. It seems perfectly in line with his
character to create the monument and the R.C. Christian
story,” Dr. Merchant posited. “Joe Fendley was also a very
active Mason, and I’ve always thought the Guidestones were
inspired by Masonic principles,” Dr. Merchant, an Alice A. Bailey
disciple who worked in Bailey’s Arcane School, expounded.
Indeed, Fendley was a very active Freemason and Shriner. The
Shriners Club is reserved for high ranking Freemasons and Joe
Fendley had reached the 32nd Degree of the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry ten years before he
erected the Guidestones monument. Virtually every man who
worked directly on the monument also was a Freemason.
Fendley was probably inspired and motivated by the The Argo
Spire, a monument constructed by a rival granite company five
years before the Georgia Guidestones were built. The Argo
Spire is an impressive, solid granite obelisk — and another
symbol of Freemasonry. At 51 feet high, it weighs nearly 21
tons. It was erected in 1975 and relocated to the Elberton
Granite Museum in 1985.

The Argo Spire

By all accounts, Joe Fendley, a likable and somewhat eccentric
man, relished the media attention the Guidestones brought him
and he utilized that notoriety to springboard to mayor soon
after the monument was completed.
But there are several convincing reasons to cross Joe Fendley’s
name off our list.
“Joe was a great salesman and it’s easy to imagine that he was
behind the Georgia Guidestones, but I believe that the truth is
somewhere in the middle between Joe Fendley and a group of
global elite,” concluded Gary Jones, who, like most people in
Elberton, keeps a close eye on the Georgia Guidestones. “I
don’t think Joe had the skills necessary to design all the
astronomical aspects of the monument and I don’t think he
could have written that book,” continued Jones and referring to
Robert Christian’s Common Sense Renewed.
Psychic Naunie Batchelder was even blunter. “I knew Joe
Fendley and there’s no way he could have been behind the
Guidestones,” Batchelder emphasized, “Joe was a talker and he
had a big mouth. There’s no way he could have kept a secret
that long.”
Most condemning is Wyatt Martin’s testimony. “I made a vow
never to reveal R.C. Christian’s true identity,” Martin
reaffirmed, “however, I can tell you that Joe Fendley was not
R.C. Christian.”
Dr. Francis Merchant: An author, college professor and Alice
A. Bailey disciple with United Nations connections, Dr. Francis
Merchant is an ideal suspect for being R.C. Christian. Not only
was he an Elberton resident, but his writing style, as
demonstrated in his interpretation of the Guidestones’ 10
dictims published in the Elberton Granite Museum’s brochure
on the Georgia Guidestones, is very similar to R.C. Christian’s.

Merchant devoted much of his life to the study

of Alice A. Bailey’s writings. Bailey is considered by many to be
the founder of the New Age movement. She and her second
husband, Foster Bailey, formed the Lucifer Publishing Company
in 1920. It took them a few years to realize that it wasn’t a
great idea to name their company after the devil – especially in
early 20th Century United States – so they changed their
organization’s moniker to “Lucis Publishing Company” in 1925.
Their organization is now commonly known as the Lucis Trust.
Alice and Foster first met during meetings of the Theosophical
Society. Eventually, Alice Bailey was kicked out of the
Theosophical Society because the organization’s leadership did
not believe she was really channeling the spirit of “The
Tibetan,” an entity she eventually named “Djwhal Khul.” Alice
was expelled despite the fact that Helena Blavatski, the
founder of the Theosophical Society, had made very similar
spirit channeling claims.
Alice Bailey appears to have been greatly influenced by her
husband Foster Bailey, a 32nd Degree Freemason and equally
enthusiastic Theosophy buff. “Alice didn’t have a head for
business,” Dr. Gloria Bader Merchant, widow of Francis
Merchant, told us, “she often said she would not have gotten
anywhere without Foster’s work on all the business aspects of
their endeavors.”

Blavatskian Theosophy and Freemasonry as established by

Albert Pike share a great deal in common, from their veneration
of Lucifer to their fascination with the Aryan race. Consider the
following two quotes:
Stand in awe of him, and sin not, speak his name with
trembling … It is Satan who is the god of our planet and the
only god…
– Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, founder of the Theosophical
Society
LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to
give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning!
Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable
blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!
– Albert Pike, Morals and dogma of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
It’s pretty creepy stuff and, together with their Aryan writings,
served as foundation for the Nazi movement, filtered through
Guido von List and the Thule secret society of Bavaria. Here is a
sample from Pike’s Lectures of the Arya:
They were white men, as we are, the superior race in intellect,
in manliness, the governing race of the world, the conquering
race of all other races. They called themselves Arya, the
Aryans, the Warlike, or, some think, the Noble… we owe not
one single truth, not one idea, in philosophy or religion to the
Semitic race… it is a fact indisputable.
– Albert Pike, Lectures of the Arya
While her teachings are generally softer and gentler than her
masters’, Alice Bailey herself made many statements broadly
critical of Jews while she extended the Aryan mythos. “The Jews
are the reincarnation of spiritual failures or residues from
another planet,” she claimed while praising the Aryans as the
“emerging new race” of “mentally adepts.”
As bizarre and universally offensive as many of Bailey’s beliefs
are, the Lucis Trust continues to be a very influential
organization with tentacles reaching deep inside the United
Nations.
So it would seem that living in the little, out-of-the-way
Southern town of Elberton, Dr. Francis Merchant must be
involved in the Genesis of the Georgia Guidestones.
In fact, Dr. Merchant had nothing to do with the building of the
Guidestones. “We moved to Elberton to retire in September of
1980, well after the monument was built,” Dr. Gloria Bader
Merchant, a gracious lady now in her 80′s, explains, “I can state
unequivocally that my husband had nothing to do with the
building of the Georgia Guidestones.”
Tragically, on January 5, 1981, a strong, healthy Dr. Francis
Merchant died suddenly and unexpectedly at home, as if struck
down by lightning bolt from Zeus, shortly after delivering his
essay on the Georgia Guidestones to Joe Fendley.
Robert Edward “Ted” Turner III: American media mogul and
multi-billionaire Ted Turner is an off-the-wall character who
sometimes appears to be insane. Here’s a video of Turner
claiming that most of us will be dead and the rest will be
cannibals in 30 or 40 years unless we act now on global
warming.
The largest land owner in North America, Ted Turner started his
road to riches when he inherited his father’s billboard business.
Turner’s media empire is largely centered in Atlanta, Georgia,
less that 100-miles away from the Guidestones.
 A billboard very close to the Georgia Guidestones
Other than his famous shock of white hair and his first name,
Ted Turner doesn’t really fit the description of Robert C.
Christian. He is famously not a Christian, but Robert Christian’s
Common Sense Renewed is anything but a Christian tome.
However, it is highly likely that the Guidestones would have
been torn down years ago if not for the fact that Robert C.
Christian advertised that he was a Christian, which was
probably a simple ruse to deflect and confuse local critics.
Given Turner’s notoriety even back in 1980, if he did play the
role of Robert Christian, it wouldn’t be a smart idea to list
details of his life if he wished to remain anonymous. In other
words, the official description of Robert C. Christian might be
little more than a smoke screen, a cover story concocted to
thwart those seeking to connect the Georgia Guidestones to
Turner.
It is well established that Ted Turner has sentiments that
parallel those expressed by Robert Christian. For instance, in a
1996 interview with Audubon Magazine, Turner said that
reducing the world population to 250-300 million people “would
be ideal.” This continued the downward trajectory that we
already witnessed from Robert Christian.
Turner is a fanatical supporter of the United Nations and has
donated $1-billion to that organization. He is equally fanatical
about environmental issues and was co-creator of the Captain
Planet cartoons, a show targeted for children with New Age
environmental themes. Turner also founded the Nuclear Threat
Initiative and Christian spent a great deal of time on nuclear
warfare issues in his book.
Turner even published his own alternative Ten Commandments
and they sound a lot like the ten Georgia Guidestone dictums:
1. I promise to have love and respect for the planet earth and
living things thereon, especially my fellow species–humankind.
2. I promise to treat all persons everywhere with dignity,
respect, and friendliness.
3. I promise to have no more than two children, or no more
than my nation suggests.
4. I promise to use my best efforts to save what is left of our
natural world in its untouched state and to restore damaged or
destroyed areas where practical.
5. I pledge to use as little nonrenewable resources as possible.
6. I pledge to use as little toxic chemicals, pesticides, and other
poisons as possible and to work for their reduction by others.
7. I promise to contribute to those less fortunate than myself,
to help them become self-sufficient and enjoy the benefits of a
decent life, including clean air and water, adequate food and
health care, housing, education, and individual rights.
8. I reject the use of force, in particular military force, and back
United Nations arbitration of international disputes.
9. I support the total elimination of all nuclear, chemical, and
biological weapons of mass destruction.
10. I support the United Nations and its efforts to collectively
improve the conditions of the planet.
And don’t overlook Ted Turner’s prodigious vanity. It is
completely consistent with his ego to give his pseudonym the
same first name he possesses.
Turner had already made our Top 3 list, but we have since
obtained evidence that implicates Ted Turner directly with the
creators of the Georgia Guidestones. While circumstantial, the
evidence is so persuasive that we believe that Robert
Edward “Ted” Turner III played the role of Robert C.
Christian in the Georgia Guidestones creation story.
The evidence we obtained came from a source who has
maintained a long relationship with Ted Turner. We cannot
divulge the details of that evidence without exposing that
person’s identity to Turner.
For the record, when we asked him about it, Wyatt Martin
denied that Ted Turner was Robert Christian.

What’s Done In The Dark Will Be Brought To The Light
It is written hieroglyphically with numbers and images; and the
Apostle often appeals to the intelligence of the Initiated. “Let
him who hath knowledge, understand! let him who
understands, calculate!” he often says, after an allegory or the
mention of a number.
– Albert Pike, Morals and dogma of the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry
The body of occult work in active use today is like an endless,
sticky, black ocean of tar. I have had the misfortune of
swimming in that sea of engulfing darkness while researching
this article. For an analytical, reasoning mind, the occult is
offensive. For the moral, the occult topics relevant for this
article are shocking and repulsive. I am sick of this subject. In
this section, which I would like to avoid altogether, I will only
cover the most important and topical information and leave
further research up to the intrepid reader. I only include this
section because it does appear to be a very important part of
the Georgia Guidestones story.
Former University of Texas assistant professor Texe Marrs is a
prolific author on occult topics, particularly those involving
Freemasonry, Theosophy and the New Age. Marrs briefly
discussed the Georgia Guidestones in his recent book
Mysterious Monuments. “I visited it [the Georgia Guidestone
monument] some years ago and talked to the City Manager of
Eberton about it. He confirmed that the Masonic Lodge folks
were the instigators, though he didn’t call them that,” Marrs
told us recently. “He was quite nervous about the whole
situation,” Marrs continued. Our investigation in Elberton
provoked similar responses. People were initially very eager to
discuss the Guidestones for this article, but became
uncomfortable and quiet when the inevitable Masonic issues
arose.
The genesis of New Age theology starts with Albert Pike’s
Morals and dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of
Freemasonry in 1871, a book where he expounds on a broad
range of occult topics. He then radically expands his ideas in
Lectures of the Arya in 1873 where he attempts to divorce the
European white race from semitic influences by creating an
Aryan super-race mythos. In 1888, Helena Blavatky publishes
her two volume tome The Secret Doctrine which takes and
expand Pike’s teachings outside of Freemasonry to found the
bedrock of Theosophy. Guido von List “Germanized”
Blavatsky’s teaching and, through the Bavarian Thule Masonic
secret society, gave birth to the Nazi party.
After the Blavatsky-founded Theosophical Society kicked out
Alice Bailey, she formed a new branch of Theosophy now
commonly called the New Age movement. Her Arcane School
and the Lucis Trust have become very influential organizations
and appear to be favored as the blueprint for a United Nations
endorsed world religion.
A central theme in this Theosophical lineage – in fact, predating
Albert Pike – is the idea that man can attain divinity. As such,
God becomes the jealous adversary working to thwart man’s
elevation to godhood. Satan, or, more commonly in modern
occult circles, Lucifer is seen as man’s ally, the Bringer of Light,
the Bestower of Knowledge.
Two passages in Genesis are particularly important pillars of
belief for these “Luciferian” sects. Genesis 3:22-24 states:
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one
of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his
hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for
ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of
Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the
garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
This is seen as by Luciferians as an admission by God that man
can become like Him. It also demonstrates for them that God is
unfair, cruel and jealous.
Perhaps an even more important passage is Genesis 11:6.
Here, God remarks as King Nimrod’s builders erect the Tower of
Babel:
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all
one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will
be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
This passage suggests that godhood is still attainable for man if
mankind is unified under one order with one language. For
Luciferians, this is the key to achieving their goal of reaching
divinity.
Genesis 3:22 appears to be represented in the Georgia
Guidestones with the March 22 (3/22) unveiling date. Lucifer or
Satan is represented by the number “666” which appears to be
encoded in the overall height of the monument of 18 feet (in
numerology, it is common practice to combine numbers in the
fashion 6+6+6 = 18). The number 18 also appears in the year
the monument was unveiled, 1980. In this case 1 + 9 + 8 + 0
= 18 which, again, is the most basic numerological encoding
for “666.”
The true dimensions of the monument are obscured by two
factors. Firstly, even though Robert Christian specified the
monument’s measurements in meters, they are reported in all
official Guidestone related material in feet. Secondly, the buried
support stones are included in the monument’s height.
Robert Christian specified each Guidestone to be 0.5m x 2m x
5m. The capstone is an additional 0.5m bringing the overall
height of the monument to 5.5m = 18.0 feet. The true
dimensions of the various monument components are as
follows:
Each Guidestone: 0.5m x 2m x 5m (42,437 lbs. each,
proportions 1 : 4 : 10)
Center “Gnomen” stone: 0.5m x 1m x 5m (20,957 lbs.,
proportions 1 : 2 : 10)
Capstone: 0.5m x 2m x 3m (24,832 lbs., proportions 1 : 4 : 6)
As a sidebar, the SI (metric) system almost perfectly recreates
Babylonian / Sumerian metrology in length, volume and mass.
Although wikipedia is often unreliable, this quote appears to be
essentially accurate:
Although not directly derived from it, there is a 1:2 proportional
relationship between SI and Sumerian metrology. SI inherited
the convention of the second as 1/86,400th of a solar day from
Sumer thus, two Sumerian seconds are approximately one SI
second. Moreover, because both systems use a seconds
pendulum to create a unit of length, a meter is approximately
two kuš3 [cubits], a liter 2 sila3, and a kilogram is 2 ma-na.
So the dimensions of each Guidestone are 1 cubit x 4 cubits x
10 cubits.
Regardless, the proportion of each Guidestone is then 1 : 4 :
10, which is possibly an encoding for January 4, 2010. Lending
credibility to this hypothesis is the fact that the Burj Dubai will
be officially completed on that date. The Burj Dubai is an
almost otherworldly new building. By a very large margin, it is
the tallest man-made structure ever built. At 828m (again, the
number 18 appears: 8 + 2 + 8 = 18, also 828 = 46 * 18), the
Burj Dubai will officially surpass what currently is the tallest
building in the world, Taipei 101, by over 1,000 feet (2,717 feet
compared to 1,671 feet) when it opens next Monday. The
spiraling staircase, ziggurat-like design resembles a 21st
Century Tower of Babel (Burj Babil).
Unfortunately, that might be the symbolic intent. The Burj
Dubai might be intended to symbolize a new Tower of Babel
and a completion of King Nimrod’s vision: a world where man
can become like God. It might even symbolize that the builders
believe an Antichrist has arrived.
 The Burj Dubai now called the Burj Khalifa name after Sheikh
Khalaifa bin Zayed Al Nahayan, the leader of Abu Dhabi
Note that the Luciferian elevation of man to godhood is not a
gift bestowed upon everyone, but rather a chosen few. The rest
of humanity is left to serve and worship their new gods. The
totalitarian society outlined in Robert Christian’s book is a
typical variation of this vision.
Disturbingly, one last piece of evidence supports the hypothesis
above. Genesis 11:6 appears in a major, recent event:
September 11th, 2001. In Luciferian sects, an upright
pentagram represents constructive or good magic, while an
inverted pentagram indicates destructive magic: cosmos versus
chaos. 9/11 is an inversion of 11:6 indicating a destructive
event. Of course, New York’s Twin Towers, at one time the two
tallest buildings in the world, fell that day and many people
died. It is chilling to think that a Luciferian cult would have the
power to orchestrate these events, but there does appear to be
a trail of occult evidence suggesting the possibility.
NOTE: Since the time this article was initially published, the
Burj Dubai was opened in an elaborate, fiery ceremony and
renamed the Burj Khalifa after Sheikh Khalaifa bin Zayed Al
Nahayan, the leader of Abu Dhabi who bailed out Dubai after a
financial crisis last month. It is worth mentioning at this point
that the Georgia Guidestones’ capstone has the proportions 1 :
4 : 6 and the former emir of Dubai, Sheik Maktoum bin Rashad
al Maktoum, died unexpectedly on a trip to Australia on January
4, 2006 (1 / 4 / 6). He was 62.

Conclusion
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin’ in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What’s down in the dark will be brought to the light
– Johnny Cash, “God’s Gonna Cut You Down”
The Georgia Guidestones monument in Elbert County, Georgia,
has been the focus of controversy since its unveiling nearly
thirty years ago. Our investigation into this structure suggests
that much if not all of the criticism directed against it has been
largely correct.
The undebatable originator of the monument, a man who used
the pseudonym Robert C. Christian, authored the book
Common Sense Renewed. In it he expounds upon his ten
precepts etched into that stone edifice. Christian’s vision for
the future is a totalitarian world order where the most sacred
act of humanity, procreation, is completely controlled and
regulated by the state for eugenics purposes, purposes that
include selective breeding to modify human behavior like, as in
dogs, increasing docility and loyalty. Children are the property
of the state and the state decides where and how they are
reared. God-given rights are replaced with state bestowed
privileges granted temporarily for services rendered to the
state. Suffrage is limited to the few whom the state considers
worthy. Health care is rationed according to your value to the
state, with only the elite receiving access to the most valuable
life saving and extending medical services. If you lose your job,
you become property of the state to be shipped anywhere labor
is needed. Refusal means starvation, no access to health care
and, doubtlessly, worse because Robert Christian wants most of
us dead and the remaining survivors will be treated more like
cattle than men, women and children in Christian’s new
Rational World Order.
Accusations of sinister, occult and even Luciferican influences
on the monument’s design also appear to be largely on target.
Robert Christian’s vision expressed in his book is broadly
consistent with modern Theosophical and Masonic theology. His
book also includes many Masonic phrases. Moreover, the
monument’s design clearly incorporates numerous Masonic
themes, from its astronomical functions to the inclusion of
virtually all archaic and extant languages important to
Freemasonry, to apparently deliberate inclusion of
numerological messages, to the neo-pagan design of the
monument based upon England’s Stonehenge.
The odd, narrow proportions of the Guidestones, 1 : 4 : 10,
appear to point to the date January 4th, 2010 which coincides
with the completion of the Burj Dubai, a fantastically tall, new
building erected in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. If the two
structures are truly connected in this manner, it almost
certainly symbolizes the completion of a new Tower of Babel
and the beginning of a New World Order where man — or more
accurately certain men — can now reach godhood. It may, in
fact, indicate that the builders believe an Antichrist has arrived.
Our investigation into the identity of Robert C. Christian has
uncovered highly persuasive yet circumstantial evidence
linking Robert Edward “Ted” Turner to the very center of the
Georgia Guidestones originators. This evidence is so strong that
we believe Ted Turner probably was R.C. Christian. At the very
least, Turner probably knows who R.C. Christian is.
Throughout our investigation, all of the people we met were
good, honest, decent individuals. From Mart Clamp whose
father, a master sandblaster, etched the 4” letters into the
eight faces of the Georgia Guidestones, to the gracious Dr.
Gloria Bader Merchant whose late husband contributed his
significant writing skills for production of the monument’s
guidebook, to Elberton Star publisher Gary Jones who, like most
Elbertonians, keeps a protective eye on the Georgia
Guidestones, to psychic Naunie Batchelder who was married
underneath the Guidestones and who long ago predicted that
the secrets of that strange edifice would be revealed within 30
years, to, of course, Wyatt C. Martin, a proud, gentlemanly,
devout Christian who is the only person who knows Robert C.
Christian’s real identity, all of these and more are wonderful,
salt-of-the-earth people.
But in their midst is an abomination to humanity. The large,
graven stone monument on top of the highest hill in Elbert
County is a betrayal of a good, kind and loving people’s faith. It
is a blight to their community and an insult to all mankind.
Good people of Elbert County, Georgia, the world watches as
you decide the fate of the Georgia Guidestones.

Van – I believe your'e onto something. The healthcare
rationing has already begun in the form of Obamacare.
The Senate has voted to "expand" medicare so that free
medical benefits are now all-inclusive (anyone who needs
healthcare just has to step up). This is the drug-dealer
tactic — "first one's free!" It is utilized to win the hearts
and minds of those you will to enslave.
After this bill is signed into law, the powers that be will
amend it to include the public option that they wanted
from the beginning. It will also include the abortion
language they had to omit to get it passed. Once they
 have the ignorant masses under control and completely
reliant upon them, they will then begin to trim the herd.
The great culling will begin with the aborted births of
those they deem "undesirable" and end with death panels
for the elderly whom they deem useless or unworthy.
Anyone who has the audacity to question them or fight
back, will automatically be labeled an enemy of the state
and will be dealt with swiftly and severely. Methods that
our military and intelligence personnel had formerly
employed to protect us in the war on terror (which the
current administration has been deemed "inhumane") will
be utilized in the name of national security in order to
maintain their complete control.

Van, after reading your article I searched youtube to see if
I could locate a picture of Mr. Turner around 1979 to see if
he resembled the man who called himself R.C. Christian. I
found this from 1980 ~

Thanks for the YouTube video of Ted Turner at the time of
the Georgia Guidestones unveiling.
Although he is often crude, Turner can also speak and
debate well when he wants to do so.

To the 2nd anonymous person on this page ,
If the bush family were the only ones behind this we would
have nothing to worry about. The ones behind this are the
same people that back obama and every other president
exept for kennedy thats why he had to go. so with that
dont let the fact that obama happens to be black he is
here for your best intrest. Sounds to me your trying to
stand up for obama because he looks like you but the
truth is the nwo just got a make over to fool people like
you. yes we can dosent meen what you think.so dont
make it out to be about black vs white its really wolf vs

Um… Yeah.. Wolves vs. sheep not a fair fight. Especially
when the wolves have better health care than me, a
"sheep". I think this conversation is more about our fears
of the unknown and what fate lies for us as a country
more than anything. If you take into consideration the
description of R.C. Christian, how many men of influence
and money from that time period also fit that description?
I don't understand how something as obviously good for
everyone such as environmentalism can be twisted into a
concept of one new world order. Why can't we look out for
each other and then call on our governments to do the
same?
I'm not finalizing and saying that everyone on this thread
is paranoid. There are some very important questions
being asked and very important points being made. But,
has anyone considered that maybe the powers that be are
using these fear tactics to actually keep us down and
dependent on a system that is already failing us? That
maybe, by convincing us that by helping each other and
calling on our governments to help each other is really
establishing a "socialist" state (a return to cold war era
philosophy) and that by treating the world as if it were a
living thing that needs to be protected (omg, it is!) is an
over exaggerated statement by population controlling
zealots is a way to keep us oppressed? It is a way to keep
us down, because at this point there is no other way to
live. So we brush away these "new age" concepts for
environmentalism and global health to wallow in our own
dissatisfaction, meanwhile letting the system that is
currently established prevail so as to bring our own
undoing. Meanwhile, these motherfuckers sit back and
 watch with there hands washed of our deaths because we
allowed them to make us do it to ourselves.
I think we need to take stock in what is good for us as a
whole unit. See as best as we can the intentions orf our
leaders and then actively call out who needs to be called
out and demand that they be made to account for their
actions. Posts and anonymous little gripes on clandestin
forums really don't cut it now adays. I'm not posting
anonymously.
Thanks for hearing me out,

Hi Van,
Great article. Thank you so much!
I am sure you are completely right.
The cabal behind he Georgia Guidestones are Satanists,
loving their rites and rituals, their kaballah and other
numbers games — while doing a deadly number on us!
Have you shared your research yet with Freeman? (
http://www.freemantv.com ).
I bet he can corroborate your material and maybe even
add to it.
As a medical journalist I started a compilation of
documented historical facts of Western patent mediSIN
(work in progress, today 200+ pages). I could not help but
come across the occult games by this same cabal.
I will be spreading your work here in the Netherlands.
Maybe you'd like to be a guest on my radio show (
http://www.argusoogradio.org, 'Gezond & Wel', hosting:
Désirée )
BTW, The more difficult your life becomes, the more right
on the dot you know you are!

So 1/4/2010 or 1-4-10 has come and gone, did anything
big happen on that date? The reason I ask is cus I don't
remember anything happening, the earthquake in Haiti
was close but are you sue that it is a date. What if it is a
sequence of number that are significant, I don't know, say
a formula for a virus or some wepon? I don't know if it is
helpful or even what i'm talking about but check this out.
When I seacher google for the date I came up with this.
Tetrahedral (or pyramidal) numbers: C(n+2,3) = n(n+1)
(n+2)/6.(Formerly M3382 N1363)the sequence of numbers
fallows;
1, 4, 10, 20, 35, 56, 84, 120, 165, 220, 286, 364, 455, 560,
680, 816, 969, 1140, 1330, 1540, 1771, 2024, 2300, 2600,
2925, 3276. is there a connection, exponential
growth/death.
dose any one think that there could be so sort of chaos
theory connection?
And has any one seen a picture of the top side of the
capstone?
And what about that new notch that was cut out of the top
iner cornet of the English slab?
any info on this would be nice. I'm just doing some reading
and I find all of this very unsettling.

1/4/10 was the opening of the Burj Khalifa. A fundamental
purpose of the Georgia Guidestones monument is to point
to the completion of this tower. See the following post for
a description of the numerology discovered in the Georgia
Guidestones thus far:

More information is disclosed in the Radio Liberty

Note that the Gnomen / gnomon stone remains
undeciphered other than its contribution to the overall
height calculation of the Burj Khalifa.

good work and interesting connections.
you’ve left linguistics and other current major players out
but did narrow to plausible field of 3. I would be interested
to know the sandblaster’s story regarding the apparent
typos in a number of languages for one would assume a
template was used.
322, to me, links to the Ram or the Age of Aries and the
people most associated with falling down to worship the
Golden Calf!
That is where I believe the roots of the source for this
monument lies but do not yet have enough data to really
prove anything. I think Turner is a very interesting analysis
and choice I am just not sure, there seems to be some
gaps and missing knowledge. What that is I dont know but
am a lookin and glad to see work like yours Van!
keep up the good work!

“Decoding the Georgia Guidestones”:
The books are the words of Ted Turner . I doubt that
anyone will ever say ” yes, I did it” I am certain that the
conclusion on this site were right as far as turner, and
particulary, the person who said ” if it wasn’t Ted Turner
who went to have this done”, nailed it. I will give you a
name .
Terrance McGurik a very articulate, always imaculantly
dressed person. here is a little about him, and his
connection to turner .
This evidence is so strong that we believe Ted Turner
probably was R.C. Christian. At the very least, Turner
probably knows who R.C. Christian is.”
The description of the physical R.C Christian , is McGurik
exactly. This is also how they operated. Remember when I
said, Turner had an idea , and it was McGurik who made it
happen. That was his job . Turner thought up TBS Channel
17 , which was a local Atlanta Station, and had the idea to
beam it all over the Country via Satellite . It was McGuirk
who made it happen. CNN being a “global news
organization that would change the world”. It was McGuirk
who was charged with making it happen. It is how they
worked. No variation from that in all their years together.
When Turner was removed as Vice Chairman of Time
Warner, it was McGuirk that took over, later becoming
CEO . Turner is still the largest shareholder of Time
Warner, which now includes George Soro’s owning the
second largest stake.
So Turner wrote the books ( exactly how he thinks and
talks ) , and McGuirk was the guy who went to have the
plans implemented … Ga stones. Everyone would have
known who Turner was, by Physical appearance .Turner is
always somewhat “Sloppy” or disheveled in appearance.
McGuirk , even in a hot Ga summer, would have been
immaculate in appearance . Otherwise, they are pretty
close as to appearance
Someone wrote this in the comment section of that site
regarding turner . “He sure had the silver hair; well
dressed part of the description given. But, as far as being
refined? well, I personally would say he is crude and gruff
in his manner!! ” Good point and Spot on. The refined one
in both speech and appearance is McGurik .
will someone ever come out and say Terrance McGurik?
Probably not, as he has a cushy job, running the Atlanta
Braves , and on the Board of several corporations . He is
loyal to a T . He is also a devote catholic, but he would
have made this happen , the stones, and would have
easily played the in person role as R.C Christian . Turner
wrote the books . The level of loyalty he had for Tuner , is
one of those rare partnerships . Even if he didn’t agree, it
was his job , and he took it seriously . remember, Turner is
badly bi-polar, was suicidal often, took many meds, and
drank on top of them . He was not an easy man to be
around . I saw him almost punch Jane Fonda at a Charity
event, because she had not retrieved a drink for him yet.
The only relevance of that is to show how strong the
relationship was between Turner and McGurik . Turner
would have been a man of many big ideas, that never
happened had it not been for McGurik
Turner would not have had checks sent from all over the
country as the Banker said. He wouldn’t know how.
McGuirk did all that for him. Turner was no good at all in
implementing anything. He is a total idea person. McGurik
is the yang to Turners ying . Turner could and would, often
did, call at late hours with an idea . McGurik never
complained , nor would he . He would never talk either .
As loyal as one could find.
I have a photo of him somewhere or you can find one on
the net . One look at him you will see what I mean.
No doubt that it was Ted Turner and Terrance McGurik

“Decoding the Georgia Guidestones”:
Unattributed, incompletely cited, only partially correct:
A total world population of 250-300 million people, a 95%
decline from present levels, would be ideal.
Actually, it’s this somewhat rambling sentence fragment
from p 113 of “Ted Turner Turns It On”, by Bruce Stutz,
Audubon, Nov/Dec91 (not 1996!), Vol. 93 Issue 6 (the only
interview with Ted Turner that Audubon has published):
If we had a much smaller population, and over time we
had only one child, and over maybe 300 or 400 years we
could cut back to 250 million – 350 million people. We
could replan our cites …
I had to drag out an interlibrary-loaned paper copy to
check this one, and am sure your readers will appreciate
your setting the record straight.

The Ted Turner quote in my article is widely cited and
attributed to various sources. Here’s one:

population-would-be-ideal/
“A total world population of 250-300 million people, a
95 percent decline from present levels, would be
ideal.”
Ted Turner
CEO of Turner Broadcasting Network and CNN, vice
president of Time-Warner, owner of the Atlanta
Braves, advisor to Mikhail Gorbachev’s Green Cross
International, donor of $1,000,000,000 to the UN.
Source: You Don’t Say, by Fred Gielow, 1999, page
189.
Hardcopy: Copy of page 189 from Gielow’s book.
Where: During an interview with Audubon magazine.
Contributor: AIM.
Category: Population

========
Turner, a very powerful but arguably insane man, has
since amended his population target upwards to 2
billion after he consulted “experts” who told him that
to maintain our current levels of technology and
infrastructure, 2 billion people would be required
globally.
There was an interesting exchange with Turner about
this topic that can be viewed here:

Greetings.
I searched the net for world news in 2010.01.04. I found
this site:
http://www.maplandia.com/news/2010/january/4/
With these news:
Dubai to open world’s tallest tower (Monday 4th of January
2010, 13:43)
‘Vast’ tomb found south of Cairo (Monday 4th of January
2010, 18:38)
Archaeologists in Egypt say they have found the largest
known tomb in the ancient necropolis of Sakkara, to the
south of Cairo.
Also there was a song by the Lostprophets – It’s Not The
End Of The World (from an album called The Betrayed)
released in this date. If you watch the 3.24 min long video
(which I could 2 days ago but today wasn’t available ?!) at
exactly 2.00 min there’s a very clear image of 3107 (July
31st?). Call me crazy but it stand out, a very clear and
steady image in a very chaotic and frantic video. Try this
