Why didn't they change the $20 with the towers on back?
I know, I know, I'm a conspiracy nut but everyone knows it's there.
You'd think our Gov. would be concerned about the image, but obviously they simply don't care if it looks screwy. If you fold it one step further you've even made an airplane. What the?


I see the markings on the bills as an extremely sever coincidence...?

1. not just the 20's
the 1's show the towers before the attack
the 20's show the towers just after the first hit
the 50's show the tower collapse
and the 100's show a smoke plume, there is no way in HELL this is coincidence

5. Not a $1 it is the $5-$100.
Although the $1 does state 'new world order' in latin. And if you fold it the same way it cuts off the eagles head.

15. No, what it means is "A new order of the ages", from Virgil.

Great Seal Mottoes
Novus Ordo Seclorum

A New Order of the Ages
Beneath the pyramid on the reverse side of the Great Seal is the Latin phrase "Novus ordo seclorum." Charles Thomson chose this motto, probably borrowing it from Virgil, the famed Roman poet who lived in the first century B.C.

Virgil wrote the phrase, Magnus ab integro seclorum nascitur ordo, in the fifth line of his classic Eclogue IV. It has been translated in different ways, including:

A mighty order of ages is born anew.
The great series of ages begins anew.
The ages' mighty march begins anew.
The majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew.

The phrase is part of a prophecy about the fate of the Roman empire:

"Now the last age by Cumae's Sibyl song has come and gone,
and the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew . . .
the Iron age shall cease, the Golden race arise . . .
and shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear."

Thomson coined the motto: Novus ordo seclorum.
The correct translation, according to the U.S. State Department, is:
"A new order of the ages."

Thomson explained:
"The date underneath is that of the Declaration of Independence and the words under it signify the beginning of the new American Æra, which commences from that date."

NOTE: Novus ordo seclorum does not mean "new world order."

16. And you can spell "OSAMA" if the bill is folded just right?
Whoever came up with this should get laid and get a life.

I would be more worried about that "strip" across the new bills.

6. How to control the public? Treat them like idiots.
Because they know you'll never question anything that doesn't fit the norm as the media portrays it..

4. What's with the ignorance?
Did you bother to scrutinize the link?
That would be a no.

7. Hmmm. Yes. "ignorance" is the word.
Edited on Sun Oct-26-03 08:51 AM by Frodo
Or perhaps "gullibility" fits better?

But it ain't padraig that is the problem.

The link is ridiculous, and the bill looks nothing like described when folded as instructed. In no way does that resemble a pentagon on fire, nor is there a resemblence (even in a conspiracy addled brain) of the WTC on fire. It looks more like those Rancho Cucamunga (sp?) houses that burned in CA yesterday.

What is supposed to be the theory? That Clinton's Treasury Secretary (the oldest bill I have) knew about the WTC years in advance (maybe Clinton helped plan it? OMG!) and put the word out through the currency?

We're supposed to take "The United States of America" off the currency of The United States of America because it will ALWAYS spell "0sama" if you count the zero as an "o"??? You think the founders knew about Osama in advance and set up the name of the country (and then the denomination of the currency) so it would spell 0sama?

8. Are you not aware that the central bank is not a Government agency?
Roosevelt sold our banking rights for $1 Billion during the depression
and took us off of the gold standard. The super elite control our currency. Google David Rockefeller and see if it leads you anywhere.
Their must be a reverse for the word gullibility. Maybe bliss.
I don't necessarily want to believe such a thing, but god damn it I would never insist it impossible.

"The central bank is not a government agency"? Really? Are you sure? Do you know your talking to a banker? Maybe I'm part of the conspiracy.

We don't have a "central bank" as such. We have a Federal Reserve (which is a quasi-federal institution and is run by Presidential appointment) But that's irrelevant. The currency is designed and printed by the "Bureau of Engraving and Printing" which is part of the "Department of the Treasury" which ARE both part of the Federal Government. Roosevelt is irrelevant to the converstation.


Edit - And the "reverse of gullibility" is "not gullible". Peddle it somewhere else (where they need the fertilizer).

11. I did.
Edited on Sun Oct-26-03 09:40 AM by Padraig18
And you must have a VERY vivid imagination...

Let me guess: you probably voted that Paul Wellstone was assasinated, too, in that ridiculous poll ealier in the week. :eyes:

12. Just like Rorschacht Ink Blots....
you see what you WANT to see.

Modern Art is like this as well.

I see no conspiracy here, just someone with a lot of time on their hands.

If the individual had folded the bills in different ways, I'm sure that a picture of Lincoln's ghost, or Washington's horse would show up in some form.

As they say, it's all in the timing, and the perception.
