Anyone recognise this strange symbol?

Adex_Xeda · Post by **Adex_Xeda** » June 5, 2003, 3:50 pm

Ok I'm went to Taco Bell today and was sitting in the drive-through lane.

The building was recently refurbished and I noticed that on one of the tiles near the drive-through window, burned into the tile was an odd looking symbol.

It wasn't a sticker or anything and it wasn't near anything like a grease pipe.

It was part of the tile.

Has anyone seen a symbol like this before? Perhaps it's the company logo of the brick company?

I kinda reminds me of those nuclear fallout shelter tags they used to have.

Any ideas?

The illuminati have taken over the Taco Bells! /smirk

Adelrune Argenti · Post by **Adelrune Argenti** » June 5, 2003, 3:53 pm

It means the Illuminati owns Taco Bell, or specifically Pepsi Co. They are in a war with the Trilateral commision and the Bildebergers currently for control of the fast food market. They believe he who controls the stomache, controls the mind.

Damn you. simultaneous Illuminati musings cockblock.

I was going to say it's a peace clock. Some liberal invention, meant to symbolize their deluted idea that their is a time when there will be world peace.

But, why does the name "illuminati" mean somethign to me? Is that from a movie or a game?

Adelrune Argenti · Post by **Adelrune Argenti** » June 5, 2003, 4:10 pm

The illuminati are descended from the Bavarian Illuminati and are a secret society. They have strong ties and recruit from other secret societies such as the Masons. Many US Presidents were Masons. But you didnt hear that from me.

Do a google search on them. There is some interesting reading for all you conspiracy nuts.

Behind the United States and its Constitution is a small group of men whose sole objective is to enslave the whole world and humanity in their satanic plot for a one world govenment. Now to give you a very clear picture of this satanic plot, I will go back to its beginning, back to the middle of the 18th Century, and name the men who put that plot into action.

This satanic plot was launched back in the 1760's when it first came into existence under the name of the Illuminati. This Illuminati was organized by one Adam Weishaupt who became a convert to Catholicism and later a Catholic priest. Then, at the request of the Financiers, he defected from the Catholic Church, and organized the Illuminati which was financed by the International Bankers.

Every war since then, beginning with the French Revolution, has been promoted by the Illuminati operating under various names and guises. I say under various names and guises because, after the Illuminati was exposed and became too notorious, Weishaupt and his co-conspirators began to operate under various other names.

But why did the world conspirators chose the word "Illuminati" for their satanic organization? Weishaupt himself said that the word is derived from Lucifer and means «holders of the light».

(And no, I don'r really believe all this but I do find it interesting.)

I love the fact that they place the AOL symbol in the Illuminati Pics & Symbols image archive. AOL, out for world domination! Then there's the George Bush/Osama bad Photoshop job. Wacko conspiracy theorists crack me up.

Seriously though, Is that symbol some kind of indicator of food service, similar to biohazard symbols you see posted around hospitals?

shrug it looks like a symbol denoting an exhaust fan for the kitchen nearby.

where did you get that picture? draw it yourself?

Acies · Post by **Acies** » June 5, 2003, 4:32 pm

Symbol for peace and war being one, maybe?

rhyae · Post by **rhyae** » June 5, 2003, 5:05 pm

stamped into the brick, or glazed into the tile?
just one of the symbols or mulitple?

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » June 5, 2003, 5:07 pm

W/out seeing one in years, kinda looks like the tv screen shown at the end of the broadcast day.
I say just lay off the pipe for a few days

Adex_Xeda · Post by **Adex_Xeda** » June 5, 2003, 5:43 pm

It was glazed onto one brick about 3 feet behind the drive-through window. It was on a brick high enough to be level with my pickup.

It was only in one place, I didn't see it anywhere else.

I drew the picture from memory with photoshop.

rhyae · Post by **rhyae** » June 5, 2003, 6:01 pm

possibly indicates exhuast fan duct work behind the wall?

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » June 5, 2003, 6:05 pm

well I know oftentimes builders use engraved bricks to denote what is behind the wall in case some enterprising soul decides he wants ot expand hte building and hires someone to sledgehammer the wall down.

Usually for gas or electrical lines, though I am not familiar with what the symbols are.

however I highly doubt it is a joint illuminati/taco bell conspiracy to control government.

Lalanae · Post by **Lalanae** » June 5, 2003, 6:07 pm

It could be some type of Masonic symbol, maybe a mark of the builder? I've done some searches but haven't located anything that looks like it yet.

I was joking about the illuminati stuff.

Yes I saw it on the side of a a newly refurbished Taco Bell.

It was the same diameter as a brick is thick.

Kluden · Post by **Kluden** » June 6, 2003, 9:34 am

I'm in the business of construction...that is no warning symbol or trunk line indicator. I could not find it in one of our "job signs" catalogs...so...I would have to agree with the above post saying it is a trade's symbol.

Union halls have their own little stickers and shit for their local halls, chances are, the masons in that area glaze tiles/bricks with their local trades symbol...which is what you saw.

Lastly, it could simply be the brand name symbol of the tile.

edit: Ok....just came to me that it may also be a symbol for the plum of the wall. It is the stamp of a surveyor measuring corners and wall heights and plumness at certain heights. When it is checked for straightness, he stamps where he checked, to let the bricklayers know they may continue their work, and to come back at a later time to make sure the building is not settleing too much...damn I'm good

It could be directions to their restrooms.

I don't know what I do or dont believe anymore, but

a) A few corporations control much of the world publicly, why couldnt a few groups of people control much of the world privately?

b) http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Denver_Airport.html

It talks about a symbol placed on a tile there that nobody knows about too. And you can say, don't believe in secret society BS, but, lots of Ivy League people and politicians belong to them. To say they don't have a network of influence/power would be a bit naive.

Pilsburry · Post by **Pilsburry** » June 6, 2003, 3:49 pm

Where exactly was the tile located? Was it one of the bottom ones? Near a corner?

And was the arrow straight up like that or slightly to the right side? How long ago was it renovated?

My thoughts are it was either used as a first brick to get them all going stright and the symbol helped them palce it properly......or it's could be some form of date stamp....but not if it was exactly like that...that would be a huge coincidence if everything was perfectly in thirds. I mean the 3 quadrants could be year, month, day with the arrows indicating which....more likely if it had little "tics" like a clock.....you know like cornerstones had the year something was built...

Ok the plot thickens,

I noticed on a baby grand piano by Yamaha that embossed a brass plate just above the piano wires was that symbol again.

Perhaps it is a symbol for an international trademark?

Post by **Xouqoa** » June 8, 2003, 4:22 pm

That? That's just the Yamaha logo there. That was what you saw on the Taco Bell brick?

Drolgin Steingrinder · Post by **Drolgin Steingrinder** » June 8, 2003, 5:44 pm

The Yamaha logo consists of three tuning forks laid over oneanother, there is no weird masonic symbolism in that.

Post by **Xouqoa** » June 8, 2003, 7:00 pm

I agree, but if he saw it on a Yahama piano, I'm wondering why he saw the same thing on a Taco Bell building. Does Yamaha make bricks or building materials now? =o

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » June 8, 2003, 7:08 pm

I'm going to give that pic to my ex boyfriend and ask him to post it in a forum he goes to. Someone there should know what it is.
