1. can you summarize?

I'm scared by rotten.com. I've clicked links to there before, and didn't want to eat for a week. They have some really nasty stuff.

4. okay, I'll check it out

I tend to associate that site with bloated corpses, crushed heads, and fecal matter. Maybe they're turning over a new leaf. ;)

2. Its good stuff...:)

except he mentions 5 being associated with satan. In the Qabalah (I think of the original masons) 5 (Geburah) is in fact associated with war and strength, counterbalancing Chesed (mercy)...The masonic/Qabalistic influence is obvious.

8. I'm almost sure it was, I'm serious.

The holy Qabalah is just jewish mysticism, not dark or satanic at all; and its an important part of Masonic tradition:

Its well documented (not in conspiracy circles, but widely) that many of these people were masons, including founding fathers, and they always did things like lay the cornerstones to buildings, its not outrageous to think they would leave their mark in architechture (their traditional field) or urban planning.

You can read about the 10 Kabbalistic sephirot here:

including the fifth one:

Geburah represents the fearsome powers of divine punishment and God's wrath in the world. He is the instructor given by the Father to purify the World.

The color associated with Geburah is red in the element of fire
