My theory is the folks who see the arrangement of streets in D.C. as a symbol for something are in fact creating something new. In other words it's a symbol that has meaning just for them.
What I can say as someone who is heavily into the occult.. that symbol means nothing to me.. even if the streets were connected it's still malformed.
If you wish it to be malevolent in some way, fine, but don't claim to speak for anyone else.
Anyway who's to say it wasn't created to draw attention away from the "real" NWO.

I think the problem people have is that the pentragram has so much negative connotations and that these people believe the United States was founded on some Christan principle; and this star is an affront to God+Country in that way.

This is my first post here. It may be of interest to know that Daniel Burnham, the architect who redesigned Chicago after the great Chicago fire, was a Swedenborgian, and that his design of Chicago was based on Swedenborg's vision of "the Holy City." Carol Lawson is writing a book on the influence of Swedenborgians on Chicago. They also founded the Parliament of the World's Religions, and I believe Burnham also designed the Columbian Exposition for the Chicago World's Fair.
A favorite Chicago-area building of mine is the great Baha'i Temple designed by Louis Sulllivan, combining Gothic and Moroccan motifs. The Baha'i faith was founded in what is now known as Baghdad.

You might find this book by David Ovason interesting: The Secret Architecture of our Nations capital
I've got the hardcover version which is titled as "The secret zodiacs of Washington DC" and I don't know if there are differences other than the name & binding. David Ovason also has a book out about the symbols in the dollar bill.

a movie just came out about this as well, called "Riddles in Stone." It's very in depth.
