Submoronic...F-

Last night, I watched a show on the "History" Channel called "Decoded"about the supposed "mystery" surrounding the Georgia Guidestones, abizarre monument erected by an anonymous millionaire near Atlanta in1980. I feel stupid even using the word "mysterious" in relation tothis collection of large granite slabs, because there are some peoplewho know exactly who paid the half-million dollar price-tag, but weresworn to secrecy in order to secure the patron's business (and enticetourists).The show starts with the sophomoric and hasty assumption that thebuilder was a Rosicrucian, based on the pseudonym of the monument'sbuilder, "R.C. Christian" and the cross-like shape of the monument, andthen runs with that assumption for the rest of the show, investigatingno other possibilities, not even in passing. Keep in mind, this wasaired on the History Channel. The channel calls itself that; that justblows my mind.The show's host/narrator, Brad Meltzer, makes appearances from time totime to act as wooden as humanly possible and ask maddeningly stupidquestions that add absolutely nothing to the investigation. And what aninvestigation! The fieldwork is handled by a gang of three otherblithering morons who go off on unfocused tangents that make anine-year-old boy drinking red Kool-Aid in a room full of video gamesand toy guns look laser-like by comparison.Here's the "arc" the investigators follow during the course of thissub-moronic television show: Who made this monument?--Rosicrucians didit—Who were the Rosicrucians?—Rosicrucians are scary--Rosicrucian mindcontrol techniques—Using the brain to control artificial limbs(!) in alab—Rosicrucians are harmless old women into New Age crap—Sweaty olddude remembers meeting the guy who paid for monument in 1979—NASAastronomer says solar flares no big deal—Investigators somehow come tothe conclusion that solar flares could destroy human society becauseantennas and power girds won't work--Edgar Cayce's predictions aboutNorth America—Edgar Cayce wasn't a crank--2012 is scary—We don't knowwho made this monument—The End.This is not an exaggeration. The show was this disjointed andmelodramatic. And pointless. The cause of popular awareness of whathistorical research entails was set back by 3000 years watching thishunk of crap show.And, America: whenever you meet someone who claims to be a doctor andhe has large piercings in his ears and is carrying a map depicting whatEdgar Cayce said would happen to America and earnestly relays to youthat Edgar Cayce was "usually right," I would HOPE that you woulddemand to see/hear this person's credentials.And "looking it up on the Internet" is NOT research, America. Jesus! Icannot remember ever feeling such rage at a television show, mostlybecause I know—call me smug or superior, fine—I KNOW that the audienceis generally going to be too stupid to spot the slag-heap of logicaland procedural flaws that make this show the piece of crap that it is.The History Channel sucks. Take it from me, I'm a doctor. No. Really.Trust me.

An OK episode of something that should be interesting.

The show itself is pretty much like a watered down "national treasure"but with more facts, opinions, and boredom. A team of people that yetunbiased, have no idea of what has happened with anything in historywalk around asking questions about things that are somewhat interestingbut are also borderline unimportant. They should be investigating moreto date and extremely important mysteries and conspiracies and be a lotmore knowledgeable also. Anyway the statue of liberty episode gives acouple interesting facts. It then touches a small amount of the storyaround who built it and what secrets lie within it. The problem is theyonly have an hour and 20 minutes of commercials to do that. The problemI had with this particular episode is that they seem to judge people bythe way they look, they hear no evidence against suggest the illuminatiexists and take that as enough proof to say they don't, and whenlooking for Luciferian symbols they seem to completely ignore invertedstars yet film them over and over.Now I am really interested in the illuminati and the Freemasons andthere is more than enough evidence out there to suggest that this stuffis real and that is clearly enough information to go on to at leastinvestigate it rather than spend half a show debunking the statue ofliberty-Lucifer connection which is what they should have never beenwasting time on in the first place. Why don't they follow the symbols,the money trails, talk with the people that have been involved with theilluminati, Freemasons and so on. If they want a credible source, theyshould seek Jordan Maxwell, his life revolves around this and alsoresearch svali, the shock doctrine, mk ultra, bilderberg. Really lookinto skull and bones and celebrity satanism. Look at photo's ofcelebrities now, you see them covering up one eye, wearing checkeredclothing, goat heads (baphomet), 666 hand signals. It's all over ladygaga, kanye, jay z, beyonce. Check out vigilantcitizen.com to getstarted. This show is seeming more like a misinfo campaign than anactual investigating team. The corner stone can't be found because it'sburied at the bottom of the capitol, no crap, what are you doing to digfor it? No, sure it's probably there, that show was a complete waste.And I'm sure those Freemasons were being completely honest with you,lol.
