According to some it represents the all seeing eye of lucifer, any and all instances of this symbol act as cctv portal for him, i.e. lucifer and that is also why it features on the one dollar bill.

I would rather a different symbol staring back at me, such as the pyramid, a universal symbol of hidden, lost and suppressed knowledge.

Glad to see the back of the They Live self-conspiracy icon though.

Are you completely paranoid? How would a symbol act as an eye? Magic?

While the nature of Sliide's post might seem rather paranoid and esoteric, he is correct in saying that "according to some it represents the all seeing eye of lucifer" (emphasis added). Those some are the population of Freemasons that holds the all seeing eye as the eye of Lucifer.

While the intention of the mods to decorate the front banner of r/conspiracy with this symbol might be entirely naive, the earlier point made by DoctorMiracles about the juxtaposition of the right-side-up and upside-down pyramids with coincident Luciferic eyes is pretty fucking interesting. The use of the Freemasonic eye and the symbol of Judaism does not escape the astute--however innocent the intentions of usage may be.

Magick.

edit: I was mistakenly thinking of /u/donbueno.

IIRC that moderator used to be the #2 mod, and a few months ago they removed all other mods and the trolls had a big celebration/spam party for half a day. Then they were de-modded and everyone else was re-modded.

Now, not only do I see them as a mod again, they clearly have no idea how symbolism works and are deleting their comments when getting schooled.

Why are they a mod exactly?

and are deleting their comments when getting schooled.

What a fucking cowardly kind of action/thing to do.

Uh... does anybody else find the new header graphic a bit... trollish? Do we really need that oh-so-subtle motif to be there and give the race-bait shills ammunition?

(also, I really liked the old one-eyed Snoo, those MIB are just meh :/ )

I don't object to using the Seeing Eye; for all the overuse and degradation of its' meaning that current media has provoked, it's a valid icon of the whole conspiracy field.

What I'm referring is the juxtaposition of that dim, upside-down Seeing Eye and the resulting apparent image. Really? A bit too much Star of David ain't it? Is it really wise to put something that can easily be misinterpreted and fuel the flames on the accusations of racism and other -isms for the whole field?

That's not a shadow, that's the same image flipped vertically with some transparency. You might say it's a bit paranoid but hey, tell me the end result ain't something like this. If you didn't notice this, you can bet someone else will and it won't be pretty. Who needs the drama?

I'm starting to think that Mr. Dong doesn't haven the best of intentions...

Mr_Dong picked this header image because out of all the conspiracies.

...?

This one clearly conveys a message...

If you wanted to clearly convey a message you would use the old icon which had a "no symbol" over the illuminati eye symbol. As it is now it just feeds "their" branding.

I sent a modmail with my concerns.

This is awful. It looks frightening and that's not what we want new users to associate with investigative journalism. IMO.

I bet all of us subscribers got red flagged. Won't be long before the DHS starts picking us up. Thanks mr dong

You're a slave aren't you.

You're right. I'm a slave of the truth. It controls me. Now what are you a slave of?

It's retarded in every conceivable way.

Anyone who thinks the "Illuminati" is now anything more than a pop-culture icon for rappers to not-so-subtly reference in their shitty videos, needs to reassess how they process information. Y'know, maybe try adding some of that pesky 'evidence' and 'logic' stuff into the process.

If you want people to take the shit that is posted here more seriously, you need to stop with this crap. You may as well have put up a picture of a Jew with reptile eyes stepping out of a flying saucer holding Obama's birth certificate.

Last time i checked, this sub was supposed to be about truth and evidence, not the bullshit fantasies of people who read more memes here than they do articles.

Happened literally just after I posted the BBC court case thread, brix were shat.

Conspiracy lives and dies by its users. Maybe a competition and vote would be a more inclusive solution?

My suggestion: Swap the transparency between the upside-down and right-side-up Eye of Horus symbols.

Giving "them" symbolic real-estate on the top of a subreddit dedicated to countering their machinations is a little absurd.

Other than that, great design. I like it.

It will be forgiven if there was this bill cooper quote there

"Listen to everyone, read everything, believe nothing unless you can prove it in your own research." William Cooper.

you could have used a 3rd eye, or building 7 mid collapse, what about a picture of JFK when he's giving a speech? or when jack ruby kills harvey in public on film. im just throwing ideas here..

Can anyone confirm this has happened on other subreddits?

I sent a modmail with my concerns.
