The Paramount mountain and the radiating eyeball of power

I’d like to comment on the column entitled What mountain is depicted in the Paramount logo? Why do women laugh hysterically? , and more specifically on the ‘Mountain of Nightmares’ paragraph. Look carefully at the back of a U.S. one dollar bank note and you’ll see a blatant radiating eyeball of power on the left side of the note. Forgive my ignorance if this is an exhausted conspiracy reference (I am not a conspiraphile), but this strikes closer to home than the symbols on a note from the Bank of Estonia. Unless that was your point.

Hi, and welcome to the SDMB! Thanks for at least attempting to include a link, but unfortunately you got a wee bit overenthusiastic with the “https” (didn’t you look at the label? Says “use in moderation” right there… :smiley: ) and the link doesn’t make.

So here is another link. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/020104.html

Unfortunately, Cecil’s link in his column to a conspiracy theory site that apparently shows Estonian currency with a “a pyramid with a radiating eyeball of power” gives me a 404 Not Found error. I suppose it could have been an American dollar bill he was looking at, but we’ll never know.

Thanks for the techie info. From now on, I promise not to blindly copy and paste (that’s what I get for using idiot buttons - and for not reading the directions!).

The page Cecil was looking at is now located here: http://members.tripod.com/therev67/antitrust/
and a Kroon (pl. Krooni) is indeed the currency of Estonia. Strangely, the US one dollar note is not present on this site. Maybe ‘they’ got ‘him’ before ‘he’ could leak ‘his’ information! Whoa, maybe that’s why ‘he’ had to move ‘his’ website!!! Great, now my head hurts.

Now this DARPA logo is a Radiating Eyeball Of Power!

I think you were correct when you said, “Unless that was your point.” The site in question seems to link everything as a Masonic symbol. Things like the Lockheed Martin star and the T-star in Texaco. Thus Cecil’s remark, “Nah.”
