Trivia on the Federal Reserve


Do you have a dollar bill in your pocket? Take it out.

Are you ready? Then turn it to the green side. Do you see the eye in the pyramid on the bill to your left? Do you know what this eye and pyramid represent? It's a Masonic symbol. The "all seeing eye" and the 13 steps to reach it. That's interesting in itself, but look lower at the bottom part of this seal. Notice where it's engraved: "The Great Seal." Now look at the other round symbol of the same size on the right of the bill, the one with the eagle. What do you notice engraved here, at the same lower spot? "Of The United States" right? So, which is the front side of our national seal? And how come we only see the second backside in use all over the place, on the President's rostrum and so forth?

Now turn your bill over to the black side. You older people might remember when this side said something like: "Pay to the bearer upon demand..." Well, this isn't there anymore, is it? In fact, since Nixon took us off the gold standard, the only thing making this bill a contract are the words: "In God We Trust." The phrase: "This note is legal tender for all debts public and private" is nothing which would stand up in court. If we all agreed to abide by it, we could say the same thing about green stamps or pinto beans. It's just a statement.

Now take a close look at the two seals on this black side. One is green with the scales of justice and a key in the center. Around it is written: "The Department of the Treasury - 1789." The black seal at left has a letter from the alphabet in the center. This can be any letter from "A" to "L." This same letter will appear as the first figure in the serial number printed twice in green. Also, there will be a number from 1 to 12 appearing four times on this black side. This number is the letter's numerical position in the alphabet. For instance, I am holding "L" which is the 12th letter in the alphabet. The number 12 appears four times on the black side of my bill. These are the symbols for the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco which is also printed around the black seal.

Here's the way these symbols appear on all of our printed money:

THE 12 FEDERAL RESERVE BANKS

While the Bureau of Engraving within the U.S. Treasury Department actually prints these bills, they are kind enough to put the names of each of the Federal Reserve Banks who manage money on each bill.

Is there truly a need to trade in our dollar bills for a one dollar coin, or is this being proposed simply because the symbolism of the Masonic order on our dollar is becoming just a little too obvious? Will the new coin say Bilderberg group, or "new world order?"
