Sorry, the brackey stripper froze on me!

The one- dollar bill you're looking at first came off the presses in 1957 in its present design. This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend, with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it. It is actually material. We've all washed it without it falling apart. A special blend of ink is used, the contents we will never know.

It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look. If you look on the front of the bill, you will see the United States Treasury Seal. On the top > > you will see the scales for the balance--a balanced > > budget.

I don't know, SAR, maybe you shouldn't give the dollar bill so much respect. I know we have been "taught" that the symbols represent the highest order of integrity, honesty, and democracy. Deeper research often suggests something quite different though.

The dollar bill is a Federal Reserve note and the symbols are those that the powerful bankers running the Fed want to expose to us. But who are those bankers, and what do they really represent and stand for? The good of the country, or the good of what they want themself?

The eye in the pyramid is called the Eye of Horus, and it's not such a noble symbol at all, at least the way we have been told about it. Here is a web site below, one of many, that deal with the symbols we have inherited, and are using, from powerful "societies" that date far back into the past. Some of them are the most secret societies on earth at this point in time, and there are reports that the leaders in the Federal Reserve system belong to these societies. Maybe when we look at a dollar bill more closely we should be a little more alarmed at what is being printed on it.

Gordon, I tend to lean towards your thinking on the bill, but a friend sent that to me, and did want to share it. I try to post somethings even if it is not My "feelings" or beliefs.

I have long thought there were hidden symbolism on many of the govt. icons, and such.

Also, that number 13 showing up all over the bill. You have two choices about that. Either it's an indication that 13 is a positive number (STO), or it's a negative number (STS). A little more digging into the history of those who make the decisions about what will be printed on the bill might open our eyes to something stunning.
