America’s Stone Hinge?

Or Guidance For the Future

The Georgia Guidestones

Imagine this:

The year is 2013, you think its late June or early July but you really have no way of knowing for sure since on the evening of December 21, 2012 some yet to be explained horrendous and very destructive event occurred; least ways all clocks stopped on that date as did just about everything else.   Apparently it was a world wide event but even this is supposition, because rumors are still running wild about what happened, at least within a 150 mile radius of your current location, which most folks still call Elberton, Georgia, USA.

You only know for certain that the only reliable mode of getting from one point to another is by foot and for a lucky few by horse back. Up until a few months ago it was common to see people driving upon the many clogged roadways throughout the area in cars, motorcycles, and ATV’s but now most folks say that has stopped because the gas is gone or just all used up.  There is neither electricity nor the many benefits that were once considered necessary to live comfortably, such as radio and television.   

If you want hot food, build a fire to heat it; the same applies if you require a hot bath.  In regard to food, canned or pickled products can still be found in a few remote areas but most folks say that will soon run-out as well, so literature describing gardening procedures have become a good bartering tool (even more valuable than guns or ammunition) as money, even old gold coins, no longer gets anyone’s attention.

Small streams have become the best source of clean and safe drinking water where as the larger creeks and rivers are just nasty.

You have traveled to the Elberton area from Atlanta, Georgia less than 100 miles to the west because of all the talk about a new “dawn on civilization” being established there as is directed by what some are calling the “American Stonehenge” (others call them the Guidestones) monument that’s suppose to be in this town.

Although this “Stonehenge” is news to you, you do figure its worth checking out.  After all the only Stonehenge you have heard about other than the famous Stonehenge somewhere in England is suppose to be located in Salem, New Hampshire; as you recall reading about such a place in some magazine article when you were just a kid during the late 1970’s.  

After all it seems apparent that a new beginning needs to be started somewhere; so why not here?

For those of you who don’t already know, the real Georgia Guidestones are located on the highest hilltop in Elbert County, Georgia, about 90 miles (140 km) east of Atlanta, or 45 miles (72 km) from Athens, and 9 miles (14 km) north of the center of downtown Elberton. The stones are on a rise a short distance to the east of Georgia Highway Route 77 (The Hartwell Highway), and are reportedly visible from that road.

A message of a sort, or perhaps a set of ten guidelines or directives, best describe what is engraved on the Guidestones in a total of eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. Moving clockwise about the structure from due north, these languages include: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian.

Here’s what is written upon the stones:

1.     Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.

2.     Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.

3.     Unite humanity with a living new language.

4.     Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.

5.     Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.

6.     Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.

7.     Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

8.     Balance personal rights with social duties.

9.     Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.

10.    Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.

    Below this is the outline of a square, inside said square the following is written:  “Let these be guidestones to an Age of Reason”

    Some critics have praised the inscribed messages as "a stirring call to rational thinking," while others have called them nothing more than the "Ten Commandments of the Antichrist."

    Who is responsible for this monument you naturally might ask?  In June of 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R.C. Christian hired the Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the structure. Beyond that no one seems to know; or at least those who do know, well, they’re not talking.
