The guidestones are just like the '1984' book. Both are tools for peace or manuals for tyranny.

It was only standing for like forty something years, not really a historic monument compared to older nations.

Just build another one :shrug:

I doubt it since each plinth weighs approximately 21 tons and one was completely destroyed by the blast.

Someone in my office lives a few miles away and felt the explosion inside her home.

The Guidestones were interesting to see but the inscriptions were the kind of bland New Ageisms you'd see on some granola FB page. Really just a local curiosity that nobody took seriously until people started taking everything seriously.

One of the funnier things about the Guidestones is that amongst the people who dislike them, more right-leaning individuals tend to ascribe it towards being a NWO and WEF thing while left-leaning individuals consider it as being a Nazi and/or ecofascistic thing.

Everyone is filling in the lines and making blunt assumptions, painting the anonymous commissioner as an absolute evil as seen from their world view. I bet it was just some doomer wanting there to be something for survivors of an apocalypse to be guided by.

It's a bit suspicious that it was paid for and built rapidly by people with a lot of money who never bothered to reveal themselves, their intentions, or their beliefs. For once conspiracy theories are understandable given this context.

It doesn't help that the information we can gather implicates some rather unsavory characters.

Although that probably would never have happened, because (for some reason) the thing seemed to attract tourism.

Because it's oddball, within driving range, and apparently had no admission fee. I wanted to see it for the reasons I just mentioned. I'd first found out about it on 4chan /x/ (Paranormal), and something on there actually being not only confirmably real, but close enough to go gawk at it is uncommon.

Alas, I never got around to making the drive. Someone on another site said I should go check out the town anyway, but there'd really be no point. The Weird Stone Thing is gone, and without it, the surrounding area is probably just another hick town.
