What are the Georgia Guidestones, and what relevance do they have to what we are currently experiencing in our world?

“LET THESE BE GUIDESTONES TO AN AGE OF REASON.”

As we move through this pandemic, people have been inundated with so much information, at times I am sure that they just want it to stop. We all want it to go back to 2019, when life now seemed so much easier. Conspiracy theories were around, but only a select few people paid any attention to them. Now, media consumers are being forced to make decisions about their health and safety by trying to sift through the noise.

Some people don’t care about figuring it out anymore; they are satisfied with abiding by the rules that our political leaders provide for us daily. To those people I say kudos! At least you have found peace with your decisions. This article is for those who are still feeling a little unsettled about everything that has gone on. The people who have begun to question masks, lockdowns, vaccines, and even their political leaders. This is a harder place to be, because now you have to substantiate your doubts. You have to look for answers to your questions. There is very little peace.

What I would like to present to you are the Georgia Guidestones, which have been called “America’s Most Mysterious Monument.” What do these have to do with the pandemic you ask? Give me a moment to explain.

 This monument consists of: four tall granite slabs, a centrepiece of equal height, and a capstone that sits atop the other five stones. The four granite slabs are each 16 feet, 4 inches tall. They are 6 feet, 6 inches wide and 1 foot, 7 inches thick. They each weigh more than 20 tons. The capstone weighs a staggering 25,000 pounds. Some have referred to the Georgia Guidestones as the “American Stonehenge,” because of their shape and dimensions.

It was a man named Richard C. Christian who commissioned the Guidestones. It was in 1979 that Richard went to the Elberton Granite Finishing Company and said he wanted to build a monument that would send a message to mankind.

Construction on the Guidestones began in 1980. Instantly the rumours about these mysterious stones began. Some were saying that they were the work of the devil, and nearby communities feared the location would become some sort of pagan landmark. These rumours escalated following the completion of the monument on March 22^nd, 1980. This was the genesis of the first theory; some people believe that the New World Order commissioned it, and others thought that it provided humanity with guidelines on surviving an apocalypse.

Why were people making such a big deal about a couple of stones? I think that it might have something to do with the function and message found on the monument. Richard C. Christian requested a few specifications when the stones were constructed. They were to be notched and have holes in them that would allow for the structure to act as a compass and a calendar. Every day at noon, the sun shines through a hole in the capstone and shows what day it is on the centrepiece. The North Star is viewable through a slot in the centre stone. There are also other ways to track the movement of the stars and sun. To some, these functions give the monument a decidedly ancient pagan feel.

The message is the 10 Commandments, “rules,” or “guides,” that are found etched in the stone in: English, Swahili, Hebrew, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, and Hindi. Let’s take a look at what the 10 Commandments read:

• Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
• Guide reproduction wisely improving fitness and diversity.
• Unite humanity with a living language.
• Rule passion-faith-tradition-and all things with tempered reason.
• Protect people and nations with fair laws and courts.
• Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
• Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
• Balance personal rights with social duties.
• Prize truth-beauty-love-seeking harmony with the infinite.
• Be not a cancer on the earth-Leave room for nature-Leave room for nature.

The commandment that seems to be raising eyebrows is the first one, “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.” This commandment seems to call for at least 90% of the Earth’s population to be wiped out. To maintain humanity at a population of a half-billion or less would require a massive dying-off of humanity the likes of which we’ve never seen. It is why theories have swirled about the role of the New World Order Project, and what it has to do with the Guidestones.

There are some strange facts surrounding the Guidestones, one being that no one knows who paid for their construction. It has also been said that the project’s builders’ had to sign a legal agreement never to reveal the identity of the financiers. They also swore to destroy all legal papers regarding the Guidestones’ construction once the project was finished.

The other nine commandments don’t appear to condemn the lives of mankind, but it does make you wonder why there is such secrecy surrounding these stones. It has just given us more to think about.
