Hi E,
I am surprised to see reference to the Georgia Guidestones now as I've searched the forum a few times to see if the topic ever came up. I was moving at the time of your post, also about the time of that article, which I find interesting indeed.
The reason being that I've collected some information to go into the mystery as it were concerning these Guidestones since I find them to be quite compelling and may be crucial for people to WAKE UP! I have often wondered whether SOTT has considered an article on them or whether Mama Cass and Company ;D have considered approaching the C's on the subject?
(And if not there is a proposal on both accounts)
It may be they are NWO inspired, maybe not, I only know, from visiting myself, that there are discrepancies which none of the articles I've read consider. For instance, there are "typos" - which one would think of as clues if this happens to be a legitimate mystery and not a scam or farce. One also wonders HOW you can "typo" when engraving GRANITE! Considering the cost of $41 million in 1970's dollars I am quite convinced the "typos" did not appear by "accident".
Then there is the whole point surrounding the use of granite and references by RA, the Cassiopaeans, etc, which makes one wonder as there were painstaking efforts for detail and alignment with the stars. Lastly, the list of involved parties was an EYE-OPENER, for though I do not recognize all the names, I did recognize a few influential players, one of whom transcribed part of "The Labours of Hercules: An Astrological Interpretation" which is one of my faves. The association this writer was tied in with is another matter altogether since the TS is considered bunk here. I believe it is a moot point to argue whether or not it's been corrupted, for it has been corrupted, yet the origin is another matter.
Anyways another influential contributor is a linguistics professor, yet another was Mayor, whom I met once years ago though knowing nothing of the connection at the time! Look at the Guidestones PDF online for a list of involved people.
But what REALLY got me when reading this article is that, of all people, Jay Weidner is cited as the expert?! I have been through the whole saga a few times online relative to JW and VB vs. Perseus, etc, and well, it appears to me that those two had a huge vendetta, distorted views and are "dedicated to destruction" as it were. Which is very DISTURBING given the fact that both these yahoos are getting LOTS of coverage on History Channel, etc. Has anyone else noticed this? Seen Bridges or Weiner on TV in their erudite fashions of "I know all" describing what means what in the world? Anyways, I bring this up because JW is quoted in the article you linked.

"Weidner also has a theory about the purpose of the Guidestones. An authority on the hermetic and alchemical traditions that spawned the Rosicrucians, he believes that for generations the group has been passing down knowledge of a solar cycle that climaxes every 13,000 years. During this culmination, outsize coronal mass ejections are supposed to devastate Earth. Meanwhile, the shadowy organization behind the Guidestones is now orchestrating a "planetary chaos," Weidner believes, that began with the recent collapse of the US financial system and will result eventually in major disruptions of oil and food supplies, mass riots, and ethnic wars worldwide, all leading up to the Big Event on December 21, 2012. "They want to get the population down," Weidner says, "and this is what they think will do it. The Guidestones are there to instruct the survivors."
On hearing Weidner's ideas, Martin shakes his head and says it's "the sort of thing that makes me want to tell people everything I know." Martin has long since retired from banking and no longer lives in Elberton, yet he's still the Guidestones' official—and only—secret-keeper. "But I can't tell," the old man quickly adds. "I made a promise." Martin also made a promise to destroy all the records of his dealings with Christian, though he hasn't kept that one—at least not yet. In the back of his garage is a large plastic bin (actually, the hard-sided case of an IBM computer he bought back in 1983) stuffed with every document connected to the Guidestones that ever came into his possession, including the letters from Christian.
For years Martin thought he might write a book, but now he knows he probably won't. What he also won't do is allow me to look through the papers. When I ask whether he's prepared to take what he knows to his grave, Martin replies that Christian would want him to do just that: "All along, he said that who he was and where he came from had to be kept a secret. He said mysteries work that way. If you want to keep people interested, you can let them know only so much." The rest is enshrouded in the vast sunny stillness."
In other words, based on pure principle, I am apt to go in the OPPOSITE direction of what Weidner says or supposes. Yet the REAL issue is whether or not the Guidestones ARE in fact meaningful beyond gossip fodder or whether they represent further illusions and "dezinformatzia"? The messages themselves are pretty sane, for instance, "avoid petty laws and useless officials" - sounds good! Of course we wouldn't have many (any) officials left though, now would we?
As I said I am collecting information and forming ideas to discover, one way or the other, for since first visiting them I've wanted to explore them in a more scientific and cinematic fashion. I have limited resources though so if anyone here is interested to discuss ideas lets do it. :)
Kind regards,
Avi
PS - another quote from the article which is interesting given what has been stated by C's regarding "singing stones" and molecular resonance, knowledge, etc. I cannot recall the exact phrase I am thinking of just now so paraphrasing.
The quote is as follows:
"Those inclined to agree were hardly discouraged by Charlie Clamp, the sandblaster charged with carving each of the 4,000-plus characters on the stones: During the hundreds of hours he spent etching the guides, Clamp said, he had been constantly distracted by "strange music and disjointed voices."

This whole swine flu business makes me think of the first inscription on the
Georgia Guidestones.
"Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature."
