On July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson (a
Mason and Illuminist), John Adams (a Mason),
and Ben Franklin (a Mason and Rosicrucian),
were appointed by a Committee of the
Continental Congress to prepare the Great
Seal of the United States to signify that
the 13 states had united in an act of
independence. After some preliminary work by
another, William Barton submitted an Eagle
on the pinnacle of a Doric column, the
All-Seeing Eye, and the stars (representing
a new constellation, or new empire).
Barton's second design pushed the All-Seeing
Eye to the reverse side, and moved the eagle
up to the crest, and placed a phoenix (a
mythical bird that would be consumed with
fire of its own volition, then be
resurrected out of its own ashes, which was
the Egyptian symbol of regeneration used by
the Rosicrucians) rising from the flames at
the column's summit, which was to indicate
the revival of the new (America) out of the
old (England).
This design was accepted on May 9, 1782
and referred to Charles Thompson (a Mason),
the Secretary of Congress on June 13th. The
final version, approved and adopted by an
act of Congress on June 20, 1782, was the
result of a series of committee meetings
which combined ideas from Barton, Thompson
and Jefferson, who placed a triangle around
the eye, added the year '1776,' 'E Pluribus
Unum,' the olive branch on the front, stars
above the eagle, and other things. Within
weeks, a brass plate of the face of the
Great Seal was produced, but not the reverse
side.
Although the design of the seal was not
to deviate from the one approved, when the
original wore out, and a second engraving in
1841 was ordered by Secretary of State
Daniel Webster. The design by French artist
R. P. Lamplier and cut by John V. N. Throop
had many subtle differences, such as six,
rather than thirteen arrows, and the phoenix
clearly became an eagle. Referred to as the
Websterian Great Seal, it was used until
1885.
The third engraving was prepared in 1885
under Secretary of State F. T. Frelinghuysen
and cut by Tiffany and Co.; and the fourth
engraving, under Secretary of State John
Hay, engraved by Max Zeiler, and cut by
Baily, Banks & Biddle; were both consistent
with the design passed by law in 1782.
A committee appointed by Frelinghuysen,
consisting of Theodore F. Dwight (Chief of
the Bureau of Rolls and Library of the State
Department), Justin Winsor (historian),
Charles Eliot Norton (Harvard professor),
William H. Whitmore (genealogist), John
Denison Chaplin, Jr. (associate editor of
American Cyclopedia) and James
Horton Whitehouse (designer for Tiffany and
Co. in New York City) decided that a die for
the reverse side of the seal would not be
produced and used as an official seal.
Norton called it a "dull emblem of a Masonic
fraternity." However, a 1957 pamphlet by the
U.S. Government Printing Office, called
The Seal of the United States,
indicated that in 1885 "a die may have been
cut," but never used.
Celestia Root Lang (editor and publisher
of Divine Life magazine from the
Independent Theosophical Society of America)
wrote in 1917: "The reverse side must have
been designed by a mystic, one versed in
symbolism ... The time will come ... when
the white stone (pyramid capstone) will
become the headstone of the corner of our
government ... in proclaiming a new religion
in which all spiritual currents flowing from
every religion shall meet in the perfection
of the white stone ... having neither dogma
nor doctrine ... We see in Mr. Barton only
the facade of the instrument; that if he
himself was not a mystic or seer, then, a
Master (thought to have been Thomas Paine)
stood behind him."
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. wrote in his
book The Coming of the New Deal,
that Vice President Henry A. Wallace (a
Mason) was "fascinated" by the occult, and
was impressed enough with the significance
of the reverse side of the Great Seal to
lobby Treasury Secretary Morganthau to have
it put on the back of the one dollar bill in
1935. Wallace later ran for President as a
Socialist. What this gesture meant, was that
the Illuminati had finally reached the point
where they could set into motion their plans
for the New World Order by initiating the
destruction of our Constitution.
The front side of the Great Seal, or the
Eagle, is well known. It is used to seal all
governmental documents. The reverse side
displays a pyramid, with an eye in the
capstone and a Latin inscription around it.
This seems to be a continuation of the
Masonic symbolism found on the front. The
number thirteen is displayed prominently,
and was thought to have referred to the
thirteen colonies. However, the number
thirteen was a mystical number to the
Egyptians and Babylonians, and also the
Masons.
There are:
13 stars in the crest
13 stripes and bars in the shield
13 olive leaves
13 olives
13 arrows in the right claw
13 feathers in the arrows
13 letters in "Annuit Coeptis"
13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum"
13 courses of stone in the pyramid
13 X 9 dots in the divisions around the
crest
It has been said that the cluster of 13
five-pointed stars above the head of the
eagle is actually a representation of a
hexagram, which is the most evil of all
occult symbols, and is used to invoke Satan.
This is not to be confused with the Star
of David, Mogen David, or Seal of Solomon,
which consists of two interlaced equilateral
triangles, which symbolize the union of God
and man.
There are 32 long feathers on the right
wing which represent the 32 degrees in
Scottish Rite Masonry, and there are 33
feathers on the left, which represent the 33
degrees of York Rite Freemasonry. The
pyramid has thirteen levels, said to
represent the 13 bloodlines; and within the
capstone is an eye. It is not the eye of
God, as we have been taught to believe. It
stems from Masonic tradition, where it is
known as the 'Eye of Horus' (the Sun God),
or the 'All-Seeing Eye,' which refers to the
protection of Providence, "whose eye never
slumbers nor sleeps," alluding to the 'Big
Brother' system of constant surveillance. To
the Illuminati, it represents the eye of
Satan, who its members worship.
The pyramid represents the organizational
structure of the Illuminati, and the
capstone containing the eye, represents the
House of Rothschild, who control the group,
and have perpetuated the goal of one-world
government. Some sources claim that on the
top level, the 1st block represents the
Council of 13 (the 13 most powerful
witches), the 2nd block represents the
Council of 33 (33 highest ranking Masons in
the world), and the 3rd block is the Council
of 500 (500 richest people and corporations
in the world).
According to the original Treasury
Department press release of August 15, 1935,
which gave details of the symbol being put
on the back of the one dollar bill, said the
following: "The eye and triangular glory
symbolize an all-seeing Deity. The pyramid
is the symbol of strength and its unfinished
condition denoted the belief of the
designers of the Great Seal that there was
still work to be done." Notice they said
"Deity," and not "God."
The news release indicated that the Latin
phrase "Annuit Coeptis" is translated as "he
(God) favored our undertakings," and comes
from Virgil's 'audacibus annue coeptis' or
"favor my daring undertaking," which refers
to the 'golden' age during which the 'Saturnian'
(Saturn was the father of Osiris) kingdom
shall return. "Novus Ordo Seclorum" is
translated as 'a new order of the ages,'
which is taken from Virgil's 'magnus ab
integro seclorum nascitur ordo' or "the
great series of ages begins anew." To the
Illuminati, the combination of these two
Latin phrases is translated as: "Announcing
the Birth of a New Secular Order."
The date 1776, found at the base of the
pyramid in Roman numerals, doesn't refer to
July 4th, the date of the country's
independence; but May 1st, when the
Illuminati was founded. May 1st is also an
international holiday for all workers, known
as May Day, which was established in 1889 at
the International Socialist Congress.
