new 5 dollar billl

category: general [glöplog]
excuse me, i am just a moron asking a stupid question.

if you go here http://www.portfolio.com/interactive-features/2008/02/New-Five?TID=st092007ab
you can see the new 5 dollar bill.

Afer a few seconds, you can click on "See Back >>" to see the back side of the bill.

Now ... i'm no conspiracy guy, but i really wanted to know what's behind
the lincoln memorial (that's what you can see on the bill, afaik) worth
to be blown up (see the cloud behind?).


Yeah, it's probably stupid, but it scare's me, actually. :)

It's a brain, but who care what those warmongering knuckle draggers put on their monopoly money anyways.

I don't believe in conspiracy theories either. Except the ones that are true. (Michael Moore quote)

Btw, it should have said "in G.O.D. we trust". As is Gold, Oil and Drugs.

I think it's supposed to be ... one hell of a big oak tree... nothing more.
I find it more of an affront to the legacy of Lincoln that his portrait is printed on a "legal tender" note issued with immediate debt attached and that this thing still is called "Green Back" today - for Lincoln issued the Green Back dollar bills during the Civil War as debt free government notes (ok, granted ... to finance a bloody war).
But for what it's worth, there are more portraits of US presidents and s.c. founding fathers
printed on that notes who would roll over in their graves if they would knew what hat happened to their financial system.

seriously, they make new 5 dollar bills? considering how cheap the dollar is these days they'd rather do coins for it seriously.

... it's about a freakin' dollar bill with a "whooo mushroooom cloud behind Lincoln Memorial"

It's clearly a mushroom cloud, representing the implosion of the dollar.

There's also a peace sign for some reason. Probably to symbolize the destruction of Christianity, which is the original meaning of this "broken cross" sign.

and since we're looking for the most ludicrous analogies for what is clearly an engraved piece of skyline, Godwin ought to be left out?

One might as well cover all bases.

ahaha ... capital...
well, it's just the chevron in the cote of arms of the Dept. of. Treasury.
better take some time and watch [url=http://video.google.de/url?docid=-515319560256183936&esrc=sr1&ev=v&len=12919&q=Money%2BMasters&srcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.de%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-515319560256183936&vidurl=%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-515319560256183936%26q%3DMoney%2BMasters%26total%3D2590%26start%3D0%26num%3D10%26so%3D0%26type%3Dsearch%26plindex%3D0&usg=AL29H23B8O8rAFEsmDhNE_6bYB4UTkoAgw]THIS[/img] instead of arguing about the symbols on a piece of paper. The system behind those bills is to be questioned.

he seems like not just "helicopter drop" liquidity but more a carpet bombardment ;)
