I don't like 'The Gap', not because of the pyramid shape of their perfume bottle, and whatever 'Illuminati' connection that may denote, but because they use sweat shop and child labour. They have, along with Nike, one of the worst records in exploitational labour practices. I think that is reason enough to boycott their products without involving symbology.

Freemasonry doesn't have any pyramids.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt put the all-seeing eye on the dollar bill, contrary to what popular rewritten history tells you.

It's also interesting to note that Henry Wallace wrote a letter about Roosevelt's decision to include 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' on the bill, which he read as "New Deal" for the Ages.

thus... the New Deal...

But if you are REALLY looking for conspiracy...

St. Josemarie Escriva founded Opus Dei in October 1928. In October 1929 the stock market crashed.

In 1987 Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's and owner of the Detroit Tigers, founds Legatus mere hours after meeting Pope John Paul II. In October 1987 the stock market crashed.


I would submit that I don't think we Freemasons have the organizational ability to coordinate anything larger than a fish fry.

If you want to know who is pulling the strings, follow the money.

I see a cheap bottle of scented liquid, from Gap. To say the Pyramid is uniquely a Masonic symbol, shows your lack of understanding of human history.

It's the notorious "All-spraying eye"!!

I don't find this as profound as the OP but who knows, eh?

The All Seeing Eye has it roots from Ancient Egypt, it also appears in Buddhism. It has been used prior to Masonic adoption, it is much older than the Free-masonic order.

If I had to guess why Freemasonry uses the symbol it is because it is an open interruption of a creator God, for example the Grand Architect of the Universe.

It was used on Seal of the United States because the founding fathers had radical ideas such as freedom of religion. This is something many take for granted in my country all too often.

If you bother to study Freemasonry you will learn of it's amazing religious tolerance. This is a lesson the world is in much need of.

Well, bravo. I agree with you 100%. I hear stories about the Rothschilds and other members of "secret" societies. But by definition a secret society is not publicly available on the internet.

I find it laughable, this concept of a secret society with some spooky looking black and white pictures, etc.

To me, the rich run the world. They can buy elections and influence other powerful people into surrendering or compromising.

If there were such powerful people or forces at work, they would have no fears of making themselves known because they are..."so powerful."

I think some of us have disadvantages and some of us have a lot of advantages (such as being born into money or a functional, rich family), but one cannot forget that any individual born into one of these rich families can be a "failure" to it. The individual is important. And, also, a great mind can suffer the fate of a dysfunctional family and poor upbringing.

It's a clogne bottle...from the Gap, that is it I see only a uneducated and over zealous attempt at Mason bashing going on here nothing more.

This is probably off topic, but how has the GAP co-opted Kerouac and Ginsberg? I ask because they've always been two of my favorite writers.

I don't know about Kerouac, but Allen Ginsberg appeared in a Gap advert for a large fee. All of which he gave away. His attitude was that by taking money to endorse products he didn't believe in, he could help others. He never kept any of the money he earned in this way. I am not sure whether I agree with him, but I do like his poetry.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. He was sort of a Marxist....maybe he thought he was getting the last laugh in on them?
