THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES SOLVED?
“It will be necessary for well informed citizens to work with knowledgeable physicians in establishing guidelines that will make possible a reasonable allocation or rationing of the care we can collectively afford, favoring those individuals whose continuing lives are most valuable to society at large.”
ROBERT CHRISTIAN – COMMON SENSE RENEWED
Before being seriously damaged by a homemade bomb on July 6, 2022, the Georgia Guidestones in Elberton, Georgia, had drawn visitors from around the world and been the source of much controversy. The six giant slabs of granite were erected under a cloak of secrecy in 1980 and arranged to resemble the ancient standing stones found in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. Some even referred to them as an American Stonehenge. The Guidestones were the creation of a mysterious character who used the pseudonymns R. C. Christian and Robert Christian. However, it was the words inscribed on the blocks of stone in both archaic and modern languages, ranging from Ancient Egyptian heiroglyphics to English, that made it so contentious. It read like a modern-day Ten Commandments, and it did indeed consist of ten statements, all the literary output of R. C. Christian.
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
R.C. CHRISTIAN
For the world population to be reduced to such a level, it would at that time have required 90% of the people on this earth to be exterminated or the vast majority to become sterile.
Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
R.C. CHRISTIAN
It is hard to interpret the above words without concluding that they represent an unabashed call for the implementation of a global eugenics regime.
Perhaps feeling the need to explain the meaning of his work further, in 1986 the enigmatic R. C. Christian published a limited edition book called Common Sense Renewed. In this instance, the pseudonym Richard Christian was used, though when reduced to initials it still read as R. C.
“I am the originator of the Georgia Guidestones and the sole author of its inscriptions. I have had the assistance of a number of other American citizens in bringing the monument into being. We have no mysterious purpose or ulterior motives. We seek common sense pathways to a peaceful world, without bias for particular creeds or philosophies. Yet our message is in some areas controversial. I have chosen to remain anonymous in order to avoid debate and contention. Our guides must stand on their own merits.”
ROBERT CHRISTIAN – COMMON SENSE RENEWED
While the philosophies expressed in the book revolve around the contents of the Guidestones, they also share in essence similarities to the works of Founding Father Thomas Paine. Even the book’s title harks back to two of Paine’s literary tracts Common Sense and The Age of Reason. More interestingly still, Paine was believed to have been associated with Rosicrucianism, a secret esoteric order that identified itself by the cypher R.C. One of the most ancient such organizations, the Rosicrucian Order mixes pagan mysticism with the Bible, and as such puts itself at odds with orthodox Christianity.
Paine’s philosophical views have endured and remain popular to this day among the more liberal schools of political thinking.
Without doubt, the greatest mystery surrounding the Guidestones is that of the real identity of its creator. Who was the man behind the masks of R. C. Christian and Robert Christian? Wyatt Martin, a local banker, was one of the few people to have known the truth and held a trove of documents that substantiated the fact. He was the man trusted to oversee the financial arrangements around the construction of the Guidestones. In the 2015 independent documentary Dark Clouds Over Elberton, the filmmakers managed to interview the since departed Martin and discovered from him a credible candidate for the enigmatic architect of the project. The film suggests that the man is the late Dr. Herbert H. Kersten, a physician from Fort Dodge, Iowa. Various correspondence featured within the almost 2 hour production attest to that claim. Another example of proof is perhaps to be found in the obituary of Dr. Kersten. It includes these words He was a naturalist who was very involved in environmental and world population issues.
According to Martin, the translations on the stones were performed by staff at the United Nations and a Pakistani ex-diplomat.
No one was ever charged with the attack on the Guidestones. The explosion left the conjoined monoliths in such an unsafe state that the whole structure was demolished and removed from the site. A number of Republican politicians and Christian commentators welcomed the passing of the Guidestones, some even classing them as having been satanic in origin.
