Check a Dollar Bill Then Look In the Mirror...
Symbolism on US Currency
The symbols of the Great Seal, which are featured on the dollar bill, are clearly intended to embody the beliefs of those who founded the United States of America. The current design of the Great Seal was approved by Congress on 20 June 1782, and the seal was introduced to the dollar bill in 1935. The continued official use of Masonic symbols today indicates that these beliefs remain at the heart of the U.S. establishment.
The Great Seal of The United States of America
According to the U.S Bureau of Engraving and Printing:
On the reverse of the seal is a pyramid with 1776 in Roman numerals at the base. The pyramid stands for permanence and strength. The pyramid is unfinished, signifying the United States’ future growth and goal of perfection. A sunburst and an eye are above the pyramid, representing the overseeing eye of a deity. The 13-letter motto, “Annuit Coeptis” means “He has favored our undertakings.” Below the pyramid the motto, “Novus Ordo Seclorum” means “A new order of the ages,” standing for the new American Era.

A Modern Wormhole
3:32 AM
I have a sleeping problem; either I sleep too much or I sleep too little. My dreams aren’t Tonight is of those, “why did I wake up an hour and a half after I fell asleep?” kinda nights. No doubt, the reason for the dream breach was from the coffee I drank at Common Grounds at around 11:30 PM, last night. By the way: Friday the 13th is a very powerfully charmed day as the collective human mind is being updated. Think of your PC when it is downloading the newest updates from Microsoft.com to make your computer faster and more efficient. You can be honest here at suspectcity.com, I know you all feel “that feeling.” I feel like my mind’s Vista firewall has finally integrated itself on my glitchy, human mechanics. I am thinking, speaking, and cataloging with absolute clarity. To understand what I am going through would take an Epiphany, and , no doubt, some of you have had your groundbreaking Epiphany recently. There has been so much change taking place that, to drastically change the way you think and act, is second nature. It hit me recently, on a cold night in early February, when, as chance would have it, I came across the Dreamspell.

The Dreamspell Calendar is a part of the prophetic time release of the ancient Mayan civilization. The Maya understood time better than any civilization. Therefore, they had the most accurate calendar system available to any culture. Their calendar provided them with both a physical and spiritual perspective on time. One that no calendar today can offer, except the 13 Moon Calendar of the Dreamspell.
Here is some inspiration:
*The Moon in astrology describes expression of feelings and ones primary need in the personality. The Moon also describes the Mother and where a person loves to find a sense of security in life.

Human Life: The Fork In The Road
There are serious human atrocities in our society at the present. Wouldn’t you think that it’s in our best interest to take care of what we’ve been blessed with?…by that I mean, Our Planet? Why has complacency become such a common state? Is it wrong to feel empowered about helping along the evolution of our species? Take a look around this world, via the many available technological methods of doing so, and be honest with yourself about what you see. Do you have that feeling that something is horribly wrong with your surroundings.
Do you understand, with absolute clarity how close we are to a great shift in consciousness?
We are coming to a great fork in the road and we have an epic decision to make together: either do nothing and sit idly by or reform our way of thinking by creating a global culture. This is the most important choice we will ever have to make in this planetary existence. We need to stop killing, exploiting environments, controlling populations by ideological indoctrination and with haste because this must happen now.
Haven’t you had enough of this already?
What is the meaning of your personal life: (pick one)
- Believe in everything you’re told and just wait it out until DEATH? (We still don’t know what happens when we die…Does it matter?)
- Live by helping the collective effort of Global Humanity to rebuild our planet for everyone?
We believe anything we are forcefed through an ideological media. So many fundemental questions of our civilization aren’t even being investigated properly. Its embarrassing to be a human being when you watch these liars (yes…Liars!!) on Capitol Hill and other Death Culture Governments attack our evolving minds with continuous trickery including, but not limited to:
- Religious guilt.
- Demonizing the opposition (even if the opposition are its own people)
- Use of our advanced technology to keep human beings under constant surveillance.
- Disinformation and Classification of any official government resource. (We Are The Government…Right?)
Should we let ourselves be controlled by the “Government?”
Newspeak Lexicon
all rights reserved- Shepard Fairey
Newspeak Lexicon: A Collection of Terms From Orwell’s “1984″
- Atomic Wars - In “1984,” these wars began in the 1950′s and devestated much of the world. It was out of the chaos of these wars that Party emerged and seized control.
- Big Brother - the leader of an authoritarian state or movement: an all-powerful government or organization monitoring and directing people’s actions [data banks that tell Big Brother all about us -- Herbert Brucker]
- Crimestop - “The faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. In short….protective stupidity.”- George Orwell
- Doublethink - Reality Control. The power to hold two completely contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accept both of them. An excellent example of doublethink in modern society is the “war on drugs.”
- Facecrime - A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself — anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense.
- Goodthink(er) – The act of unquestionable loyalty to the principles of Newspeak and the Party.
- Hate week - Week in which Oceanian citizens all attend rallies and parades to inflame hatred of Party enemies and heighten their efforts on behalf of Oceania.
- Ingsoc - English Socialism”[Ingsoc] rejects and vilifies every principle for which the Socialist movement originally stood, and it chooses to do this in the name of Socialism.” – Goldstein
- Memory Hole – A system of pipes, similar to pneumatic tubes, which were used to destroy documents. A document stuffed in the memory hole would be conveniently whisked away to the furnaces below – quickly & easily wiped from history.
- Newspeak - The basic idea behind Newspeak was to remove all shades of meaning from language, leaving simple dichotomies (pleasure and pain, happiness and sadness, good thoughts and thoughtcrimes) which reinforce the total dominance of the State.
- Oldthink – The way of the last government not to be uttered in Oceania by fear of death
- Proles – A member of the Proletariat. Approximately 85% of Oceania’s population are in this class. Members of the party viewed them as animals. They are not as rigidly observed as members of the party, and very few (if any) have “telescreens” in their home.
- Reclamation Centre – A colony for children made homeless during the Atomic Wars.
- Speakwrite – Voice recognition machines.
- Thinkpol – The “Thought Police.” What a scary thought, huh. Thought Police would arrest and lobotomize or kill anyone committing a thoughtcrime.
- Unperson – Person that has been erased from existence by the government for breaking the law in some way.
We Are The Chosen Generation
We're Watching You Now...
‘Millenials’ or GenY is the generation of earth children born between 1978-2000. It might be more accurate to split Generation Y into two groups: Cold GenY (1978-1988) and the Post Echo Generation (1989-1998) who can barely remember the twentieth century. During research for a generational project I happened upon this statement and laughed heartily. It was so baseless and ridiculous that I had to share it with the blogosphere aka other people bka human beings. In an article titled, “7 Reasons to NOT Hire GenY Workers,” Andi Enns from Public Relations and Marketing: Cutting-Edge Campaign Strategy assuages that:
“7. GenY knows your secrets.
These kids are like cynical psychics – they can tell if you aren’t being truthful or are simply not walking the walk. If you say you care for employees but GenY doesn’t feel cared for, they’ll tell the world via Facebook and leave for a better company. They refuse to be ”drones.”Andi Enns
I laughed because it is so true. She is absolutely correct in his accusation of Millenials. We are little mind readers. We read vibes. We happen to be able to use our intuition and para-psychic abilities far better than Generation X. I am willing to say that Generation X is way out of touch with themselves. No offense, its just that genXers were born during a societal revolution. They are fundamentally split between conservatives and liberals, the liberals tending to be born earlier in the generation and the conservatives in the latter. This is a generation constantly at war with each other and, it seems, within themselves. Remember, GenYers were raised by GenXers or Boomers. Normally, genY children were placed in front of the propaganda machine (TV) for pacification. We were handled like goods and all around us, there were symbols from previous ages that we were conditioned to “>Nuclear Waste
