Heya Mike. All very valid suggestions for symbols to "face" the "Goldman".

Here are my two favorites (drat, I don't know how to link to images in a post, so I'll link to Google Image searches of "Crossbones" (or the Jolly Roger) and the masonic symbol of the Compass and Square

images.google.ca

images.google.ca

I mean, Freemasonry and the Skull and Bones symbol in particular are synonymous with Pirates right? And with Free Market Capitalism of the "bad", non-libertarian variety, right? So isn't this a great symbol for the fundamental monetary unit of Pirate Capitalism? Now I also like the term Vampire Capitalism, because it incorporates the "blood sucking" metaphor that I think is entirely appropriate.

And Freemasonry, I mean the US dollar is over-loaded with Masonic symbolism. But it's sort of hidden if you're not initiatid into the symbolism right. So let's just set aside pretences and straight out create a monetary unit symbolized by the NWO crowd.

Or, perhaps better yet, let's use this:

images.google.ca

And make it abundantly clear that the masses clearly occupy the lower ranks of the Pyramid, and are subject to the NWO all-seeing-eye. While that laughable phrase "We the People", well clearly we are are to be spoon-fed bull**it propaganda and blue-pill fictional narratives.

Or, perhaps, we dispense with all pretenses and go with this:

images.google.ca

... the universal symbol of fascism, which interestingly, also makes an appearance on the current US$.

Or, just go straight to the punchline, and go with this:

images.google.ca

Remember, in "Goldman we Trust".
