Weird --> The Georgia Guidestones - Has anyone heard of this before?

On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia stands a huge granite monument. Engraved in eight different languages on the four giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides, or commandments. That monument is alternately referred to as The Georgia Guidestones, or the American Stonehenge. Though relatively unknown to most people, it is an important link to the Occult Hierarchy that dominates the world in which we live.

The origin of that strange monument is shrouded in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who commissioned its construction. All that is known for certain is that in June 1979, a well-dressed, articulate stranger visited the office of the Elberton Granite Finishing Company and announced that he wanted to build an edifice to transmit a message to mankind. He identified himself as R. C. Christian, but it soon became apparent that was not his real name. He said that he represented a group of men who wanted to offer direction to humanity, but to date, almost two decades later, no one knows who R. C. Christian really was, or the names of those he represented. Several things are apparent. The messages engraved on the Georgia Guidestones deal with four major fields: (1) Governance and the establishment of a world government, (2) Population and reproduction control, (3) The environment and man's relationship to nature, and (4) Spirituality.

[The Straight Story]

1. I have heard of them and seen some photos before

Believed by some to be a harbringer of doom for many but the elite, who want to create a new world once we conquer aging (or so I have been told). Once we get to a certain spot in science, the rest of humanity will be toasted thru war and the elite will survive...etc and so on.

2. Well, since anything that will kill off

93+% of us and leave the magic 500,000 will likely degrade the environment to the point the elite will find it tough going to achieve Utopia, unless it's a really nasty epidemic that kills everybody but western Europe, a place with advanced vaccine production and socialized medicine capable of and willing to distribute it.

Likely this guy was just another Utopian thinker who didn't think about the means, only the end that he thought he wanted.

If there's some sort of cabal as described in this article, they're intent on destroying the environment, not preserving it.

3. Not that it means anything, but

R C Christian reminds me of Rosicrucian.

Hate to break it to whoever put this thing up, but I think #5 is already toast. #7 too, come to think of it.

4. It's on a far-right christian fundamentalist website, so I'd treat it with

(well contempt, but lets say) a large dose of salt.
