Authorities are investigating the partial demolition of the infamous Georgia Guidestones, a stone monument which has long been a focal point for believers in the 'New World Order' conspiracy theory..At around 4 a.m. Wednesday, someone detonated an explosive device at the site, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. The blast completely destroyed one of the four marble slabs and damaged the others..The Georgia Bureau of Investigations released footage on Twitter of a car leaving the scene following the explosion. They added that later in the day, the structure was completely demolished "for safety reasons.".The Georgia Guidestones, often referred to as 'America's Stonehenge,' was erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia. The 19-foot tall, 237,746 pound monument contains a set of 10 guidelines inscribed in eight modern languages..The 10 guidelines are meant to help humanity achieve an "Age of Reason," and include instructions such as, "Unite humanity with a living new language," "Be not a cancer on the Earth," "Avoid petty laws and useless officials," and "Balance personal rights with social duties.".But the first guideline, "Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature," has led conspiracy theorists to accuse the monument of calling for a depopulation. With the world's population soon reaching eight-billion, 15 out of 16 people would need to die in order for the Guidestone's population suggestion to become a reality..It is not known who created the Georgia Guidestones. A man using the pseudonym Robert C. Christian approached the Elberton Granite Finishing Company in 1979 on behalf of "a small group of loyal Americans," to commission the structure. .Wednesday's incident is not the first time the monument has been vandalized. In 2008, the slabs were defaced with paint and graffiti with slogans such as "Death to the New World Order." In 2014, someone graffitied, "I am ISIS, goddess of love," on the monument..Kandiss Taylor, a candidate for the 2022 Republican nomination for governor of Georgia, made the destruction of the Guidestones one of her campaign pledges, claiming they were a "Satanic evil."."I am the ONLY candidate bold enough to stand up to the Luciferian Cabal," Taylor said in a video posted to Twitter on May 2, 2022. "Elect me Governor of Georgia, and I will bring the Satanic Regime to its knees — and DEMOLISH the Georgia Guidestones.".On Wednesday morning, Taylor Tweeted out "God is God all by Himself. He can do ANYTHING He wants to do. That includes striking down Satanic Guidestones.".Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has previously visited the monument for his show, said while he liked seeing the monument bombed "at an animal level, "he did not agree with whoever did it."."Because we need that evil edifice there, as a confession letter."
