The most obvious being the US dollar, but you can see it hidden in movies, advertisements, architecture etc.
MTV is full of it, on the one hand I used to theorize they did it as a publicity stunt, but that doesn't explain why it is found in so many places.
I was recently shown a hidden Eye of Providence even on the 1000yen bill, and J pop videos are full of it too.
I'm not saying it's the Illuminati necessarily, but there is no denying people are hiding this symbolism.

There is a conspiracy, but... it is not what everyone thinks it is ;D

The eye on the US dollar bills is the Eye of Providence, its a religious iconography that symbolises the Eye of Horus, the Eye of the World in Buddhism, the third eye of some Hindu gods, the image of god in Cao Dai and the Christian Trinity. Also its a Masonic symbol.

If the OP would post some examples of theses symbols I'll be happy. As I think there confusing Hermetic with Masonic.

They use some of them, yes. There's an overlap with the two groups as for example, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is based on Freemasonry. The order was foundered by three Master Masons.

The Washington street plan was laid out according to Masonary principles. You could check out to see if a Freemasonary bookshop sells Hermetic books like The Kybalion. They don't keep quite so many secrets close to their chest these days.

I have a lot of living and deceased family members as both Craft and Royal Arch Masons.
I have one living relative in Canada who is a prominent figure in Royal Arch Masonry, this relative held a few positions at Grand Chapter level. :wink:

One of my ancestors was a Provincial Grand Master in England and was also a high ranking member of The Royal Black Institution.

The one on the 1000yen bill is hidden. On the back of the bill is Mt. Fuji, holding it up to the light it overlaps with the eye in the center. There are hidden references on magazine covers, advertisements, everywhere.

So "hiding"? Yes. Hiding in plain sight.

Good for you. :roll:

I'm just pointing out that it undeniably exists.

Great way to get your ads talked about in advertising, great way to look 'edgy' if you're MTV, Gaga, or Nikki.

Since most people don't even recognize Masonic symbols, what's the advantage to including them in tv shows and commercials? Especially if they are easily missed? Who is the target audience?

I`ve considered this too, but it doesn`t explain why it can be found in so many other areas over such a long period of time.

Exactly. It is heavily saturated in Japanese media as well, where even less people recognise it.
