This arrangement of the 13 stars was done at the request of George Washington to honor Haym Solomon. Solomon would raise the $20 000 dollars Washington needed to march his army from Hudson Highlands (New York) to Yorktown, bringing the war to a close, and keeping Washington from being penned between two armies...

It's a conspiracy theory. Note the text posted in the OP is not at the link -- neither is the picture.

In my own mind I consider Haym Solomon in the same vein as one of the Founding Fathers. Money was in short supply, or simply not to be had and badly needed. Needless to say, the various colonies would rather squabble then feed, or arm an army. Without those funds raised by Solomon, which got Washington to Yorktown, Washington would of found himself trapped between Clinton, and Cornwallis, more then likely maneuvered by those armies into New Jersey, with his back to the Delaware river, and no escape.
Sadly, this is American history that has never been taught in our public schools.

Prove the OP with something besides your ruminations.

True, I linked an image from a hair brained conspiracy site since it had the best image needed for the topic ...doesn't mean I buy into their swill

The text also wasn't offered as a quote, but as an original thought...If the OP wants to discuss it, perhaps we'll hear what the conspiracy is, who the conspirators were and what purpose they are conspiring to advance...Personally, I see no harm in seeing it as a religious symbol, if that's what people want to see in it...There is also a pyramid symbolizing pharoah worship as well as reference to our trust in God Almighty on our currency...

What's the controversy?... ...Ben

Now, are you interested in learning some additional American history, or do you want spend time being a jerk?

And, here I was thinking about talking about those Mohawk arrows held by the Eagle....guess Minty would consider me some kind of Apple if I did that...

The Star of David, and the Great Seal of the United States

This arrangement of the 13 stars was done at the request of George Washington to honor Haym Solomon. Solomon would raise the $20 000 dollars Washington needed to march his army from Hudson Highlands (New York) to Yorktown, bringing the war to a close, and keeping Washington from being penned between two armies.

Prove it.

Tell you what...I'm sure where ever you're located at, there's a public library nearby with a 900 section for adults, and if needed, I can give you directions to the Library of Congress

A link from the Internet or an admission this is a conspiracy theory will suffice.

You're right, Yorktown is a conspiracy theory...


btw, here's a link that shows some of the early efforts in creating the Seal...

ummm Mint, what's your theory on who requested the 13 stars and why? I'm not sure I see any conspiracy being laid out... but then you have those special eyes don't you?

The unsupported theory here is it is the Star of David.

Did you read the thread?

Um I agree there hasn't been anything anti-semetic in this OP and as noted a part of history that isn't taught. It should be.

BTW...the pyramid is symbolizing the 'all seeing eye' which relates to the Masonic Temples and Masons. Not, by the way, a conspiracy...at least in my mind it isn't. I am not surprised so many of the founding fathers were Masons. Just an aside.

The shape of the constellation itself is not specified. Both preliminary sketches show the stars in a random arrangement. And according to the laws or heraldry, they should be natural – not shaped into a pattern – whether a hexagram, a dollar sign, a heart, or other recognizable image.

The essential principles of our Government form "the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps." – Thomas Jefferson

Early realizations of the Great Seal correctly depicted the constellation of stars in a natural random arrangement. Shown here is the crest of the first painting of the Great Seal.

Very accurate versions of the Great Seal are on the Indian Peace Medals given by President Washington.

U.S. government versions of the Great Seal show the constellation of 13 stars in a hexagram pattern (two triangles intersecting to form a six-pointed star). There has been much speculation about the symbolic intent of this hexagram, but it may have been simply a rearrangement of the 13 stars on the first American flag.

A Stormfront youtube video isn't proof of shit.
