Does anyone have any info. on the Five Points area in Birmingham, Alabama (USA)? Five Points is where five streets intersect. At this intersection
there is a statue of a goat standing on its back legs holding an open book. If you climb to the top of the statue, you will see a pentagram engraved
in the book. From the air (i.e., an airplane) at night, the lit street lights on these five roads form a large pentagram across the city.
It is rumored that Birmingham, Alabama is a hotbed for Wiccan and other occult-related activities. However, is it possible that this "attraction"
has been prepared for the NWO by the Illuminati, etc.? Thoughts?

thats kind of neat hehe. ill have to get a better picture of that/go see if I can find it. I emailed my friend about it but havent heard back yet. Id
like to know the origins,etc of this statue, because that is somewhat strange.
I too have been to bham quite a few times and have never heard anything of this statue/seen it.
Aegis Fang, are you from around there or something? I have quite a few friends in that area.

haha, there are definitely some chances to get shot down there. I used to goto this place called "the boiler room" around there to goto shows and
such. It was this club that was like right in the middle of the ghetto parts. You would leave the place at 2am and see young kids walking the streets
as if they were zombies or something. there was always some crackhead asking for money too heh.

I'll be there sometime this summer. Give me the address of local industrial estate. I will find the biggest caterpillar type buldozer and run over
that bastard with it.

i asked my mom about this statue, and she said that she never really took notice of it. but since i asked she was kinda weirded out about it being a
goat man, she said that alot of homeless people hang out around it and it's a favorite with drunken college students wandering around down there.
and with the south being a little more religious than the rest of the country(they wont get the lottery in bama because it is a sin) i'm really
wondering how this statue, that resembles what we consider a representation of satan, was allowed to be constructed. sounds like conspiracy to me.

The answer to your question is on exactly the same website as the picture links
you posted. I can't believe you couldn't find this.

Hi,,,the fountain at Five Points is just a bunch of Grim Fairy Tales characters. The goat is reading the story. I personally like the turtle very
much. This fountain sits in the middle of the star the five streets form at the east quarter. Some of the churches there had a hissy fit at first,
calling the poor goat Satan.haha.Then some mysterious people stepped in and they helped the city decide to keep it up.
The area is also over Ley lines and the iron depoists on Red Mountain also seem to have some impact on the stories of this place. A huge statue of the
God of iron Vulcan overlooks the city of Bham. too. And I hate to leeave out the statue of Astarte' which graces one of the buildings just across the
valley. I'm not sure but I think that would be the Daniel Building. Anyway,,in Bham. there are more churches that resturants,and this picticular area
is party central at night. Great bars and resturant and coffee house and tat and head shops. The hippie type and goth type love this place. Its a
beautiful mix of some very interesting people. I love the southside myself. I'm older now but it hold alot of memories for me.
And yes there is a huge occult underground. And in this bible belt its not alway a good idea to advertise any occult works or beliefs. But that is
changing even in the deep deep south. Although I'm all for keeping secret,because I personally believe it to be better for me.

Huh. My first thoughts looking at it were of Pan or one of the popular images of a "Forest God". Most interpretations of Satan have him as more of a
satyr figure. To me it just looks like a neat statue, I don't suppose anyone gone to see what symbol actually is in the boo, eh?
Kinda glad this one got bumped, it's a neat statute, I'll look for it next time I'm in Alabamie.
