Great Seal: Fact and Fiction
Myth: The design signifies the U.S. is run by Freemasons or some sort of cult.
Fact: The seal uses several Masonic symbols, including the unfinished pyramid, but the symbols aren't exclusive to the Freemasons.

Myth: Repeated references to the number 13 -- including the steps in the pyramid -- represent the power of 13 American families.
Fact: Thirteen is used as a reference to the nation's original 13 colonies.

Myth: The Seal draws on Satanism or other rituals to promote a world run by a single government.
Fact: The words "Annuit Coeptis" ("Providence favors") and the eye of providence over the pyramid refer to twists of fate that helped bring about the birth of the United States.

If you liked this article and want to read more about the topic, there is a great new book named "The United Symbolism of America" by Dr. Robert Hieronimus. It is coming out in April. More details can be found on this website www.newpagebooks.com for more details. Really cool stuff!

Did you happen to notice how the poll purposely splits the "yes" vote into two? "Yes" and "I still do." When you add these two together:

No = 40%
Yes = 37%

Much closer call.

And then there's "maybe a little," that's still a "Yes."

AOL must be controlled by Freemasons! Oh, oh, I'm a Freemason AAAHH. I feel the mind control all in my brain!
