Yeah… bunch the first bunch of nut jobs were harmless and used their own money to build something that really shouldn’t have been offensive to anyone.

It was probably offensive to the 6.5 billion people not part of the 500 MM people the Guidestones said the Earth's population should be lowered to ...

Because you're afraid I'd seduce you before you could sabotage my gear.

You should pitch this pilot. It sounds better than Chrisley Knows Best.

Jim isn't too upset if you murder 13 of the 14 people living on his street as long as he's #14. (Though that worldview seems consistent with his pro-abortion stance, at least.)

Georgia Guidestones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Georgia Guidestones was a granite monument that stood in Elbert County, Georgia, United States from 1980 to 2022. It was 19 feet 3 inches (5.87 m) tall and made from six granite slabs weighing a total of 237,746 pounds (107,840 kg).[1] The structure was sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge".[2] The creators of the monument believed that there was going to be an upcoming social, nuclear, or economic calamity and wanted the monument to serve as a guide for humanity afterward.[3] Though initially garnering little controversy, they ultimately became the subject of conspiracy theories alleging a connection to satanism.[4]
On the morning of July 6, 2022, the guidestones were heavily damaged in a bombing,[5] and were later dismantled on the same day.[6][7]
History
Construction
In June 1979, a man using the pseudonym Robert C. Christian approached the Elberton Granite Finishing Company on behalf of "a small group of loyal Americans", and commissioned the structure. Christian explained that the stones would function as a compass, calendar, and clock, and should be capable of "withstanding catastrophic events".[1] The man reportedly used the pseudonym as a reference to his Christian religion.[8] Christian said he wanted a granite monument built that could rival the British Neolithic monument Stonehenge, drawing inspiration from the structure after a visit.[9][10] However, he said that while impressive, Stonehenge had no message to communicate.[10]
Joe Fendley of Elberton Granite believed that Christian was "a nut" and attempted to discourage him by providing a price quote for the commission which was several times higher than any project the company had previously taken, explaining that the guidestones would require additional tools and consultants. To Fendley's surprise, Christian accepted the quote.[1] When arranging payment, Christian claimed that he represented a group which had been planning the guidestones for 20 years and which wanted to remain anonymous.[1] The location was chosen because of the high amount of local granite, and the weather would be ideal for the monument.[11][3] The total cost of the project was not revealed, but it was over $100,000.[3]
Christian delivered a scale model of the guidestones and ten pages of specifications.[1] The 5-acre (2-hectare) site was purchased by Christian from a local farm owner.[12]

Destruction
On July 6, 2022, an explosion occurred at the site, destroying the Swahili/Hindi language slab and causing significant damage to the capstone. Nearby residents reportedly heard and felt explosions at around 4:00 a.m.[24][16] CCTV footage recorded a vehicle leaving the scene and police are investigating the incident.[16] The remaining stones were dismantled by authorities later in the day with a backhoe for safety reasons according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.[25][2]
The Elbert County Sheriff's Office is investigating the bombing, with assistance from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.[26] On the evening of the bombing, the GBI released a video showing both the explosion, and a vehicle of interest leaving the scene shortly before.[27] No motive has been publicly shared, and no suspects publicly identified.[28] As of July 6, 2022, no arrests have been made.[29]
A video shows a flash of light in front of the structure followed by an explosion and collapse of the stone tablet. Some conspiracy theorists and Kandiss Taylor claim the destruction was "an act of God."[30][4] She also stated that if it was vandalism, "Those people should be brought to justice."[2] A prosecutor called it an act of domestic terrorism.[31]
