Directly below is a breakdown of the ten ‘directives’ that were carved into the now-destroyed Georgia Guidestones, along with brief commentary on each directive.
Note: This article is intended as a supplement, for the article at the following link…
And now… The Directives
1) Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
This, the first directive, was obviously the most controversial. With a human “infestation” (more on that below), of over 4.4 billion people when it was created… and over 8 billion now? In order for this to be fulfilled, literally BILLIONS of people would have to be eradicated. From this directive alone, a plethora of (justifiable) conspiracy theories were born.
2) Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
Translation: 1) Destroy cultural and ethnic differences while practicing covert eugenics, and 2) Maintain the ‘right’ to abort children in the womb… or maybe a few days after exiting said-womb.
3) Unite humanity with a living new language.
Again, destroy cultural and ethnic differences.
4) Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
Faith and tradition, eh? Seeing the pattern here?
5) Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
On the surface this appears to be rather innocuous… until you start asking who gets to define what is ‘fair,’ and what is ‘just.’ Then… this directive begins to look much more sinister.
6) Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
The first part of this actually isn’t all that bad; indeed, incessant warmongering is a bane to Liberty, and to our survival as a species. HOWEVER… “a world court?” Considering how The Hague has ruled since its inception, with its socialist philosophy and anti-gun-rights bent? You’ll have to forgive me if I bristle at the notion of such a body being granted broad global powers.
7) Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
”Petty” and “useless” = Those with which / with whom they disagree.
8) Balance personal rights with social duties.
Oh yippee, the ‘greater good’ argument. Communist Socialism… yay?
9) Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
Seriously, what does this even MEAN? Way too many ways to interpret this (see the next directive), and very few of said-interpretations serve ‘individual Liberty’ (or genuine ‘truth’) well.
10) Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.
Cancer? This is what I meant in my breakdown of the first directive; rather than seeing us as a part - and a NATURAL extension - of Nature, they view humanity as an infestation which endangers Nature, and thus must be managed and/or destroyed. By them, of course.
Even a cursory review of these should be enough to make one at minimum feel squeamish about what is found therein. And if you are one of those who remain unaffected?
You are undoubtedly part of the problem…

This is also a great piece for a time capsule!
100%. I hadn't thought about this in quite some time....I do ponder the true population of the earth, is it really 8 billion...or more...or less?
