Conspiracy Theory

I don't believe in conspiracy theories but several of the founding fathers of the US and several presidents were Freemasons.

I believe the following persons were Freemasons.

George Washington
James Monroe
Andrew Jackson
James Polk
James Buchanan
Andrew Johnson
James Garfield
William McKinley
Theodore Roosevelt
Howard Taft
Warren Harding
Franklin Roosevelt
Harry Truman
Gerald Ford

I also believe the following founder fathers were Freemasons.

Ethan Allen - Mason
Benjamin Franklin - Mason
John Hancock - Mason
John Paul Jones - Mason
Paul Revere - Mason
George Washington - Mason

So it does not suprise me that you can find symbols associated with Freemasons on the dollar bill.

I also agree with SeatedNut about how these symbols were in mainstream use and were normal for them to be adopted to show the strength of America.

Well ok for example owl might mean intelligence, pyramid with the eye also might mean that everything is under the sight, but how about THE STAR OF DAVID what does that mean. Why not a cross or Star and crescent? When I read these comments I truly see you as naive and you probably see me, no offence of course.

There's also a way to fold a 20 dollar bill that will show the twin towers with smoke and flames (and the pentagon on the other side) (http://www.conspiracies.net/), but does that mean the designers of the bill planned it? Sometimes it depends on what you WANT to see, and how you can 'fold' something to make it appear real.

Here's an earlier thread about some of the "unusual things" on the dollar note, including the "secret spider".


No, they don't "have to" mean anything. A dollar bill doesn't "have to" mean anything other than a dollar. While the Great Seal depicted on it is itself full of symbolism put there by the people that designed it (such as the incomplete 13-step pyramid and the all-seeing eye), the rest of the ornamentation on the dollar note is just that - ornamentation.

Please note: if this thread becomes too "non-numismatic", it will get shifted to the General Discussion forum.

No, it really has nothing to do with the Star of David but it does have everything to do with the founding of the United States and the original 13 Colonies, i.e. 13 stars. The dollar bill reverse dates to 1935 but that design is the original Great Seal of the United States, it was created in 1782 so it certainly has nothing to do with Israel or Judaism.

Six-sided stars are found throughout US coinage- Classic Head to Braided Hair Half Cents and Large Cents; Trimes(major design feature); Shield and Liberty nickels; Draped Bust, Capped Bust, and pre-1860 Seated Liberty half dimes; Draped Bust, Capped Bust, and pre-1860 Seated Liberty dimes; 20 Cent piece; Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Seated Liberty, and Barber quarters; Flowing Hair, Draped Bust, Capped Bust, Liberty Seated, and Barber half dollars; Flowing Hair, Draped Bust, Gobrecht, Seated Liberty, Trade, and Morgan dollars. See a trend there? No one has ever accused a coin of carrying the Star of David so it is equally ridiculous to make that accusation of the One Dollar note.

Here is some more proof of a vast Jewish conspiracy:




This one even has George Washington's bust on it!

No one wants to agree with you about the conspiracy but they all know it is sort of true. Just don't want to admit that. For example if you look at the reverse of the dollar bill you see that Pyramid. This is forced on us by the Eyptions with the usage of Tana leaves boiled in water during the engraving process. That eye on top of the Pyramid? Put there by your wife and it has a tracking device in it so she can see where you spend all your, and hers, money. Notice all the Latin words on our money. Now it's the Romans that want us to remember how they beat the Eyptians. See all those signatures on the front. Just political payola. The more you pay, the more your signature appears.
So many things about our money that people just won't say. Eventually Kevin Trudo will have a book on all this.s
