"existed"...lol...

preemptive post before the nutters get in here....

read about skull and bones or the masons.
s&b use similar "rights" but largely the knights templar and the Bavarian Illuminati use the two columns, skull and cross bones and are a NON RELIGIOUS SECT ..so all that "jewish conspiracy" is a lot of rubbish.

then read about the law of fives.
the law of fives will take you to Beethoven.


another thing, as for "pirates" using the skull and bones?
pirates flew black flags, the templars who left Europe after Fra Jacques got melted flew the S&B flag to scare the living fark out of everyone while they collected what was robbed from them by the hopitallers.

Stranger things have been known to happen, and there's certainly no proof of their non-existence.

Non-existence. It's hard to prove.

Green Arrow: Don't listen to this guy. Everything's conspiracies with him.
The Question: Not conspiracies. Conspiracy. Singular.

The Question: Reaching back to ancient Egypt, there's been a single cabal of powerful individuals directing the course of human history. But the common man prefers to believe they don't exist -- which aids their success.
Supergirl: Global warming, military upheavals in the third world, actors elected to public office....
Green Arrow: The spread of coffee bars, germs outpacing anti-biotics, and boy bands? Come on. Who would gain from all this?
The Question: Who indeed?

Supergirl: What, do you go through my trash?
The Question: Please. I go through everyone's trash.



Also, does anyone know that the tips of shoelaces are called aglets? They serve a sinister purpose.

tl;dr

Just kidding, great article:

Beethoven was all about duty to the abstraction called humanity. That was what he was taught and what he lived and wrote for, through all the miseries of going deaf and a great deal of physical pain. It was people he didn't much care about.
That's me to a 'T'. I think humanity is a great thing... in principle. :-P

/can neither confirm nor deny reports of the recent transfer of US $2,000,000,000,000 to the accounts of a group which may or may not be entirely unrelated to the Bavarian Illuminati

Stuart Mackenzie: Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as The Meadows.
Tony Giardino: So who's in this Pentavirate?
Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"
Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?
Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

Beethoven did love idealistic politics, he got miffed and scribbled out the dedication to Napoleon he wrote for his 3rd symphony when he realised what a pre-neo-con Napoleon was.

Happy Birthday Maestro, you magnificent bastard! The world is better by not anywhere near the least amount thanks to you.

If accurate, I had no idea that George Washington was a fat, bow-legged general who looks a little bit like Chevy Chase. Those are some mighty fat thighs!

Life isn't all warm cookies, the internet, movies, and recliners.

-Stanley Kubrick's "Eye's Wide Shut" exposes an occult organization made up of powerful world leaders and aristocracy. They engage in bizarre rituals and orgies with sex slaves. He depicts them as an organization so powerful and serious that if a person were to try and expose them that person would get killed.

-Stanley Kubrick died "alone" just a few days after releasing this film exposing them. He suicided by Illuminati to prove his point. This is his greatest gift to us. He gave his life to send one last powerful message to us.

-"Eye's Wide Shut" means this evidence is in front of you yet you refuse to believe what is happening. You are asleep in the face of the evidence about a beastly people that are hunting down all the sheople. This is Stanley Kubrick's last and most shocking message to the living.

-To believe this is to change your life forever. You will see that life is a scary place filled with bad beastly people indeed, surreptitiously hunting down, using, abusing, and killing its fellow man, including the innocent. You will not be able to retreat to comic books and escape crevices anymore. You will know the truth. If you come to believe. Spread the word.

I've always believed that if there really is an elite group of powerful figures running the world that I'm okay with it.

If they are crafty enough to manipulate everything from world governments and economy to my own personal thoughts and habits then they much be amazingly smart and competent. That's exactly who should be running things.

I certainly wouldn't want to live in a world run by the sweaty, smelly, mouth breathing conspiracy nuts who discovered the truth without leaving their basement for the last eighteen years.

Washington was pear shaped from all accounts, but tall. Washington was also brave to the point of insanity in battle and did what no general since the roman era did, win a new country and then give it up the people.

He also gave the defining blueprint on how to run the damn place when he left office (we use 2 terms because that's how many he stayed for).

He also warned against political parties and looked quite a bit like Brutal the prison guard from The Green Mile.

I like you. Did you know that Oswald had bullseyed womprats from childhood? As it turns out, he actually took the scope off the Carcano before shooting Kennedy: he was trusting to some sort of Force.
