Vandalization of the Georgia Guidestones















Regardless of whether you believe in the existence of the New World Order, there are many who are vehemently opposed to some of the ideals represented by the Georgia Guidestones. Also known as the "American Stonehenge", the Georgia Guidestones have been speculated to be the main laws of a supposed New World Order. Although the mainstream media is no longer dodging the concept of a NWO, so the Guidestones once again come to the forefront of those who have followed the concept over time.
Similar to Hitler's "law and order" standpoints in World War 2, the commandments of the Georgia Guidestones sound almost benevolent at first glance, but do not mention how they may come about. Just as people obediently did as Hitler said was their best-interest, with no thoughts to the ramifications of their actions.
It is however interesting to note, that the commandments seem to have predicted our current mentality of sustainable development.

Consider the Meme's currently infused in our collective consciousness.
The idea that there are too many people on the planet.
The idea that we are somehow "destroying" the planet, even though it's obvious that the planet will outlast humanity.
The idea that genetics can somehow "cure" humans of their genetic instabilities.
As well as other concepts one can see in distopian science fiction movies. In fact, one might argue that it was science fiction movies are what made us ready psychologically to accept these standards of living, embedding Meme's in the populace that may "bear fruit" of one kind or another. The truth of it being as subjective as what the best basketball team is, or which news station is the most "fair and balanced". These are just words, and while they have power, they can mean whatever you want them to with the right spin.

This past week, the Guidestones were vandalized, and I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. I am not a huge fan of the Guidestones, however this vandalizing shows a counter-productive fervor amongst believers that somehow the NWO represents "the devils presence" on Earth, and that true believers in Jesus will be saved. This "Book of Revelations" mentality, is dangerous. Not only because of the inherent contradictions of claiming support for Jesus while ripping down other people. But mostly dangerous because it implies that something horrible is coming, and that is a Meme that only propagates itself over time.
