Excavation for the foundation of the Washington Monument began in the spring of 1848. The cornerstone was laid as part of an elaborate Fourth of July ceremony hosted by the Freemasons, a world-wide fraternal organization that Washington belonged to and that still exists today.
From the link
In 1791, Pierre Charles L'Enfante(the designer, who was a Freemason), laid out Governmental Center of Washington, D.C., he planned more than just streets, roads, and buildings. He hid certain occultic magical symbols in the layout of U.S. Governmental Center.
I'm wondering if anyone out there can shed some light on what and why?

The Secret Architecture of Our Nation�s Capital
In 1999, �The Secret Architecture of Our Nation�s Capital� was first published � oddly, considering the title, in Great Britain. Written by David Ovason, an astrologer whose other works included two books about Nostradamus (one of which trumpets his discovery of a secret language which had eluded all other researchers and the other, published AFTER the horrific events of September 11th, 2001 in New York claims to have now found a quatrain which foretold the event!). It�s also important, we feel, to remind readers that an astronomer is one who is trained in science to understand the heavens; an astrologer is one who, perhaps even self-taught, determines what a person�s life will be by the position of the constellations at the time of their birth � a fortune teller. None of Mr. Ovason's books reveal his education. Perhaps there's a reason?

So what if there is Masonic influence in the design, what would you expect if it is being designed by a mason. Is it not reasonable for a designer to put a bit of himself into something he creates, I cannot see the error or the conspiracy in it.

You keep arguing this point.
If the guy had been asked to design a small country house and he put one or two symols in it fine.. your agument would stand and I would not see much conspiracy there either.
This however is Washington DC. and not some tiny part of it either.. we are talking about the whole governmental district of the City is one big Masonic symbol.
If this had been a gang of youths it would be graffitti the kids tagging up every last clean surface, the masons however specialize in stone work and building... so how do you expect them to advertise their presence? Skywriting with stunt planes?!?!
Stop trying to play these facts down.
it is clear that the masons are advertising the reach of their influence by scattering obvious symbols like that around their haunts.
they have a VERY influential role in todays western world.
"take over" done, finished, complete...
Scale matters for the argument i was making.
How about the WHOLE of washington a masonic symbol?
Look if a group of people have the liberty to shape the capital of the US according to thier symbols, you can safely assume they are close to the decision making process if not actally in conrol of it.
Don't bother replying

Please point out the rhetorical question here... I cant even see a question mark.
It will just make you look silly, ok?
One line answers to one line questions seem fine to me net or not.

You didn't make any argument, just made a statement using a retorical question.

There is no argument there. A single line posts are bad netiquette.
