Damn, where were you when I used to be in Mi. 2-3 times per month? I don't travel like that anymore, but if I do get up there again, expect a call. I would love to do a walk around of a site or two like that.Quote:

Cool, maybe with enough people you can have an AO party?
Hell yes. Dan Brown is great, especially the fact that everything historical in the book is true
I personally like the book "Behold a Pale Horse" by William Cooper. Although, if you start believing some of the stuff in the book, you better buy it with cash from a used book store so they dont track your habits. Gore: If I ever get to Michigan I would like to experience these weird places. Count me in for the party. ;)
If there really WAS a world dominating society operating with absolute power, we minions would know nothing about it. We can speculate on previous attempts in a much SMALLER world with limited technology but any real society would kills us for talking about it. Not much stake or power in a society everyone know about, eh? The real threat of control comes from public organizations redirecting their real motives and manipulating world policy on false pretense.

Umm no his dates are way off, most of his "facts" are as well any dope who can take a thousand year old harasy and claim it as some modern revliation derservise little respect...him and the whole holy blood holy grail, moldovian conspericy/hoax are just pathetic (which has nothing to do with the illuminate get your consperices strait.)Quote:

as for illuminate still existing, your barking up the wrong tree. you want to see who controlls the world today look into P2 (a conspericy that connected the mob, vatican, CIA, masonic cults, and KGB, this one happened and was blown open in the late 80's early 90's), Look at the trilateral commity, look at what happens every year at bohimian grove....basicly just fallow the damm money.
read everything is under control by Robert Anton Wilson it can bring you up to speed in the wonderful world of conspericay nuts. Personaly I subscribe to the fuller school of thaught, ther eare a number of conspericaies that occasionaly work to geterh but mostly compeate with each other over controll of the power and money of the world.
BBallad > The historical facts in The Da Vince Code are true (descriptions of buildings and pictures, the existence of the Priory, the Templars, symbolism,...).
The Holy Grail is another story, but Brown never claims anything about it (the grail is never even found in the book, and most of the statements are made by the English professor who turns out to be mad/obsessed in the end).
What seems to bother catholics most is the Last Supper (Da Vinci's painting): Brown's characters (not Brown himself) claim the person sitting next to Jesus is Mary Magdalene, critics claim it's John.
The fact? Who knows... looks like a woman to me, but who knows what Da Vinci meant to paint. And that's the problem: the book doesn't claim any of the criticized facts, yet critics keep screaming "he's pathetic" while they themselves have even less proof for their side of the story. But guess what: the Da Vince Code has "novel" printed on its cover... the critic's book has "facts" printed on its cover. At least Brown knows he can't proof his theory (yet).
The book is full of stuff like that, and I found it very easy to separate fact from fiction.
The conclusion of his book might be wrong, but there's little wrong with his historic facts...
Edit: Brown himself can say it nicer than I can :)
