This is page 292 of a book written in 1878.
The book itself represented a ...uhm... "declassification" of information that was previously privately circulated.

In it, the author describes ancient symbols that will be used (in the future) to affect World change.

*oops 1868, not 1878.
Also, why this book?
It isnt a normal book.
-It was published into the Congressional Record by an Act of Congress in 1871.

-This author's statue also is(was?) featured prominently at the center of Judicial Square in Washington D.C.
This is no minor tribute

it was already on my reading list for some reason but during lockdown something made me finally pick it up:
Frank Zappa
LOL
Years ago, Zappa's Daughter tweeted a photo of his study (after he died). in the photo, a volume of books.

People were tweeting Zappa songs during Covid Times A.D. So over the course of several weeks I listened to his catalog.
Have you *actually* listened to some of his lyrics?
I hadnt.

Here's one called "I'm The Slime"

Also, about that book:
According to Gershom Sholem, at the time that book was written the overlapped isosceles triangles had not yet been associated with Judiasm. And of course, Hitler hadnt risen to power yet
