United States one dollar bill with the most infamous of graphics onset nefarious item being the so called all-seeing eye more properly titled the Eye of Providence to add some wood to the fire it turns out that the Eye of Providence is used by none other than everyone's second favorite source of conspiracy theories the Freemasons so what's up with such a blatant use of the secret society symbol on the dollar bill well it turns out what many points of the Freemasons and Illuminati is the source of this particular symbol there is another organization behind it one that has for centuries worked tirelessly to bend government's the world over to their will we are of course now talking about Christianity while many are conspiracy theorists today we'll say the Eye of Providence represents Satan in truth it has represented God watching over humanity for Italy half a millennia or so beyond gods IV commonly added triangle around the eye represents the Trinity Father Son and the Holy Spirit as for the son ray is also commonly shown around the eye this is meant to represent God's divinity you can see a prime historic example of this in Yakup upon Thomas 15:25 painting supper of Emmaus as well as on many historic church buildings stained-glass windows and things like that so how did this Christian symbol end up on a dollar bill when the Continental Congress kicked King George the third to the curb they needed an official seal for the new nation towards this end they tasked Ben Franklin Thomas Jefferson and John Adams with creating one these three Titans of American history in turn enlisted the aid of an artist named Pierre Jean to simit year to help out as for Franklin he pushed for a seal that in his own words depicted Moses standing on the shore and extending his hand over the sea thereby causing the same to overwhelm Pharaoh who is sitting in an open chariot crown on his head and a thought in his hand raised from a pillar of fire in the clouds reaching to Moses to express that he acts by command of the deity the motto he wanted on the seal was rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God motto Jefferson would eventually use on his own personal seal speaking of Jefferson he also wanted to go with biblical imagery in this case wanting a depiction of the Israelites wandering through the wilderness with a cloud and a pillar of fire guiding them an interesting choice for a man who once wrote his own version of the Bible that got rid of all the supernatural elements among other parts that he didn't agree with moving on to Adams he wanted the choice of Hercules painting used for the seal in it Hercules is flanked by two women representing virtue and vice two paths he could choose one of the paths was for his own pleasure and a life of ease on the other side was a life of hardship but glory finally add asymmetry heir suggested a shield with the initials of the 13 states on it flanking the shield was a FEMA representation of Liberty holding an anchor and a spear on the other side stood a man holding a rifle and a tomahawk above all is the Eye of Providence in a triangle with sunrays shining down indicating Gods being on the side of the new nation decima tierre also went with a plural bus unum out of many one for the motto this slogan was borrowed from the gentleman's magazine which used it to represent many articles collected from various outlets and put into one magazine when these ideas were presented to Congress on August the 20th 1776 they weren't big fans of any of them though made some suggestions of modifications to do seemed years and to potentially go forward with that one however rather than send it back for reworking after these suggestions were made they just tabled the matter about four years later in March of 1780 Congress once again figured that it was time to get someone to work on an official seal and this time tossed a slightly less prestigious group with the job now is James Lovell John Lawrence Scott and William Church or Houston like their predecessors this group brought in outside help in one Francis Hopkinson perhaps better remembered today for designing the first official United States flag Hopkinson went ahead and adapted the shield concept but modified it just to show 13 stripes most notably to the progression of the seal he also included an olive branch and arrow held by an Indian man 13 Stars and included a slogan of Bell oval paste paratus meaning prepared in war or peace finally he included the date of 1776 in Roman numerals beyond this version he also came up with a second one but both were eventually rejected and the matter once again tabled while you might think the third time would be a charm not so much about two years later in May of 1782 Congress tasked John Rutledge Elias Boudinot who would later be replaced with Arthur Lee and Arthur Middleton with creating the seal yet again the trio brought on board someone else to do the actual work in this case a lawyer by the name of William Barton most pertinent to the progression near his design included among other things an eagle and on the reverse a pyramid with the Eye of Providence above it though without the triangle that had been present in the first committees version although funnily enough II originally thought but a palm tree on top of the pyramids is he observed that when cut down palm trees generally grow again from the same roots just as strong as ever after he wisely switched the more broadly appealing I have Providence he went with the slogan day event a with God favoring Congress has ever observed the results of the committee's work and responded with another big old yeah apparently not content to wait around for too long this time almost directly after On June the 13th 1782 they gave Secretary of Congress Charles Thomson the to ask of creating the seal rather than giving the job to someone else he dressed did it himself borrowing something from all of the previous designs what he came up with was eventually as follows besides the shield with stripes representing the states he depicted a bald eagle holding an olive branch and one Talon representing peace in the other Talon the Eagle is holding 13 arrows one for each of the original 13 States with the arrows representing the United States as readiness to fight to protect its interests however the eagle's head is turned toward the olive branch symbolic of the nation preferring peaceful relations further representing the 13 original States are 13 stars over the eagle's head the final mosso chosen was the aforementioned sin fitting e pluribus unum on the reverse side of the seal is Barton's unfinished pyramid with said pyramid representing as Thompson himself notes strength and duration the 13 layers represent the 13 states which comprise the nation the I've Providence at the top has mentioned represents God watching over the nation the text a knowit copious is also included roughly meaning he God has favored our undertaking on the bottom is the text Novus Ordo seclorum meaning roughly a new order of the ages inspired from a line in Virgil's o´clock ford also included at the base of the pyramid are the Roman numerals for the year of the establishments of that new order 1776 and so it was that on June the 20th 1782 Congress approved Thompson's design based on the description alone as at this point Thompson hasn't actually drawn it up yet simply giving descriptive notes and the thought process behind each elements of course furred those who don't want to trust the guy who designed it an alternate hypothesis as to the origin name symbols used here is succinctly outlined in an article titled Satan on the United States dollar first of all I will interpret the Latin words on the seal aneroid caucus meaning announcing of the birth of and nervous Ordo seclorum means new world order so therefore it says announcing the birth of the new world order the date in Roman numerals is 1776 the the modern Illuminati was formed and also the year of American independence the Latin a plural sanam means one out of many that is order out of chaos which is the foundation of the New World Order's plan to unify the world's governments religions and money systems into one so the world can be controlled why the Antichrist must come soon the capstone has not come down on the pyramids this means that the plan is not complete only when the New World Order is established upon all nations and the world leader is in Thrones the plan will be complete on that note for those who think the Illuminati or Freemasons are behind the symbols the good news for conspiracy theorists as it turns out that they're absolutely true now that's weird on that note for those who think the Illuminati or Freemasons are behind the symbols while the Illuminati were technically created in May of 1776 this organization was not found in America but rather Bavaria for they're funny enough given the way they are depicted in Hollywood in books today they were founded not as a mystic shadowy organization but on principles in opposition to superstitions obscurantism essentially withholding or obscuring knowledge from the general public and against abuses of state power particularly the abuses of religious groups who were so heavily influencing said governments for their own ends at the time thus the original Illuminati would have been greatly opposed to the loominatee generally depicted in fiction today the Illuminati however didn't ever gain much traction nor did it last long as the duke of bavaria charles theodore with the support of the catholic church saw to it that such societies as the Illuminati and the Freemasons were outlawed and persecuted in the region thus given us location and relatively small size and influence it would be quite a stretch to think they somehow influenced the Eye of Providence and pyramid being put on the United States seal when it was further as noted contrary to what is often put forth this new order and the date of 1776 couldn't be more explicit that it represents the new United States government literally placed at the base of the pyramid built the thirteen states with God watching over an approving of them all as to the Freemasons the only member of that organization who had anything at all to do with the creation of the seal was Ben Franklin but his proposal was for the aforementioned Moses imagery not a pyramid with the Eye of Providence his slogan was also quite different than the whole new order one that would eventually be chosen it's also noteworthy that at the time the United States seal was created it wasn't a symbol of the Freemasons they didn't adopt the Eye of Providence until 1797 on top of that the freemason version uses a cloud above the eye instead of a triangle this was another relatively common version and Christianity going back to at least the 17th century it's not really clear why the Freemasons chose this version once they did adopt the symbol and on top of all of this the original creation of this imagery for the u.s. seal only came about after not one not two but three rejected designs over the span of several years made by three separate committees with nobody in Congress liking what they came up with that's the fish shadowy group running the world's governments was really behind it all they showed some pretty poor organizational skills and their attempt to try to reveal themselves on the United States seal for I don't know reasons we guess so that's where the seal came from in the actual meaning behind it how did it get on the dollar bill though this wouldn't happen until about a century and a half after the creation of the seal though funny enough did have to do with a couple of Freemasons to begin with the u.s. didn't really bother with paper money for a long while into its history with the exception of Continental Congress trying to raise some funds by issuing continental currency in 1775 however there was an inherent flaw in the way this paper money system is enacted at least according to Ben Franklin instead of backing the money with land assets as Franklin had suggested they were backed by rarely collected taxes by the states themselves as the Continental Congress couldn't itself collect taxes at the time the whole government body collecting taxes for his populace being a bit of a sore spot for the venn rebel group this combined with the fact that the notes were easily counterfeited saw them become mostly worthless and thus the young nation abandoned an official paper money currency though this didn't stop many banks in the u.s. from issuing their own paper money to fill in the gap in the market beyond coins it wouldn't be until 1861 that the US government itself would put into general circulation its own paper money again in the form of demand notes nicknamed greenbacks this finally brings us to the creation of the one dollar bill first issued in 1862 unlike the dollar bill of modern times this did not sport the Eye of Providence nor even George Washington rather it showed a guy by the name of salmon P chase the secretary with the Treasury at the time who apparently saw his chance for history to remember him and he took it what followed from here were several iterations of the dollar bills starting with a rather prominent change in 1869 now showing George Washington with the switch partially spurred by the fact that Congress decided to pass a bill that prohibited living people from appearing in various items including currency notes later in 1886 Martha Washington would also grace the face of the one dollar bill for a bit fast-forwarding a half-century a slew of changes to the dollar bill over the course of a decade or so ultimately saw the Eye of Providence added in 1935 the idea behind this particular change one of the last two the dollar bill came from the Secretary of Agriculture and future vice president Henry Wallace the inspiration here for Wallace came from reading a copy of the 1909 work by Gaillard hunch which gave a detailed account of the genesis the United States seal most pertinent to the topic at hand is that it included image copies of not just the front of the seal which many people were familiar with but the reverse with the pyramid at the time this was largely unknown and unused in fact Wallace himself while he was a freemason so familiar with the Eye of Providence from that as well as its prominence in Christianity himself had never seen the reverse of the United States seal before not just liking the imagery Wallace also noted that the Novus Ordo seclorum new order of the ages motto of the American government could be tied into Roosevelt's own New Deal hence the New Deal for the ages thus well as suggested Roosevelt have the reverse side of the u.s. seal put on the coin Roosevelt loved the idea but decided to put it on the dollar bill instead however before going through with it he first ran the idea by his cabinet among other potential objections wondering if any religious group would be offended by putting a Christian symbol on the dollar or conversely if any Christian group might see it as him trying to put a version of a freemason symbol there in the end after going around the room to ask various religious members of the cabinet their opinions including devout Irish Catholic and Postmaster General James Farley was decided that it was likely various Christian groups would react positively to use of their symbol and the whole Freemason connection wouldn't be an issue particularly as it was really just using the reverse of the official u.s. seal not something Roosevelt himself came up with thus the idea was pushed forward since the addition of the USC imagery in 1935 the dollar bill has changed little other than In God We Trust added in 1957 to further double down on the whole religious theme among a few other minor modifications how about a bonus fact speaking of continental currency we'd be remiss if we didn't mention the 1776 third of a dollar the note depicts a sundial with the sun shining on it also included are the English words mind your business as well the Latin word Fujio meaning I flee this was designed by none other than Ben Franklin who loved to embed subtle satire or humor into just about everything he was involved in which has been speculated to be why he was not given a task of being the primary author of the Declaration of Independence instead just an advisor to the much less talented and less distinguished writer Thomas Jefferson whatever the case in this case Franklin was going for a picture and a word puzzle on the paper bill which essentially sums up as I time and money flies so mind your business this design later gave rise to the Fujio cent also designed by Ben Franklin minted in 1787 with more or less the same thing depicted so I really hope you enjoyed that

The triangle has been long considered a sacred symbol. In times of antiquity, names of God and symbols of divinity were often enclosed within triangular figures.

He does a very good, accurate job. Which is of course the expectation for his awesome channel.

“Well, it turns out, while many point to the Freemasons and Illuminati as the source of this particular symbol, there is another organization behind it. One that has for centuries worked tirelessly to bend government the world over to their will. We are, of course now talking about Christianity...”

Simon Whistler does a good job on most of his channels.

Henry A Wallace put it on the dollar bill. He was a theosophist.
