The Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) and local law enforcement are still searching for the person or people responsible for a Wednesday incident that left a 41-year-old monument in rural Georgia in ruins.
According to a series of tweets from the GBI, early Wednesday morning someone detonated a bomb near a monument known as the Georgia Guidestones, a 19-foot-tall stone structure located near the South Carolina state line outside the city of Elberton.
The explosion severely damaged the monument, and local officials elected to remove the surviving portions to avoid a more serious collapse.

“For safety reasons, the structure has been completely demolished,” a tweet from GBI reads.
As of this writing, it remains as mystery just who destroyed the Guidestones, and why. However, GBI has released footage showing a gray car approaching the statue prior to the explosion. The bomb blast was captured on a different camera.
The Georgia Guidestones was not a universally known art installation, but was referred to by some in the know as America’s Stonehenge. The only real connection between the 1980-constructed Georgia monument and the many-thousand-years-old British wonder is a general lack of clarity as to what purpose either truly served.
In a poetic coincidence, a monument that was destroyed under as-yet mysterious circumstances was constructed and existed in a permanent state of vagueness.
It is not known who commissioned the work, beyond the fact that a person or group of people known by the pseudonym Robert C. Christian paid the Elberton Granite Finishing Company, allegedly on behalf of a small group of benefactors, to build the structure.
What resulted was a massive monument that stuck out in the open land of rural Georgia and contained 10 statements translated into eight languages. Those statements, the guides which gave the piece its name, were:
- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
- Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
- Unite humanity with a living new language.
- Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the Earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.
Recently, the structure had come into the national consciousness when Kandiss Taylor, a professing Christian and Republican who launched a failed bid for the Georgia governorship, made lawfully removing the Guidestones the central plank of her platform.
Taylor is among a group of Christians who view the Guidestones as deeply satanic.
I am the ONLY candidate bold enough to stand up to the Luciferian Cabal.
Elect me Governor of Georgia, and I will bring the Satanic Regime to its knees— and DEMOLISH the Georgia Guidestones.
Join me in my fight to #TearThemDown!

“I am the ONLY candidate bold enough to stand up to the Luciferian Cabal,” Taylor tweeted in early May, comments that are still penned atop her feed. “Elect me Governor of Georgia, and I will bring the Satanic Regime to its knees— and DEMOLISH the Georgia Guidestones. Join me in my fight to #TearThemDown!”
The post also contains a campaign ad in which Taylor explains her aversion to the monument in more detail.
Taylor’s efforts attracted the attention of leftist comedian John Oliver, who in late May dedicated a portion of his “Last Week Tonight” program to lampooning Taylor, who had already placed third in the Republican primary with little over 3% of the vote.
We did tape this very stupid web extra about Jesus, furries and rocks before our hiatus. We will warn you, it is very stupid. But if "very stupid" is what you need right now, this is that. https://t.co/mbfydPGv6H

“We did tape this very stupid web extra about Jesus, furries and rocks before our hiatus,” reads a tweet sharing a video that is, in normal Oliver fashion, littered with profanity. “We will warn you, it is very stupid. But if “very stupid” is what you need right now, this is that.”
As of this writing, neither Oliver nor “Last Week Tonight” have commented on the destruction of the Guidestones.
Importantly, there have been no connections, nor suggestions of a connection, between Taylor and the explosion. Indeed, there are no leads currently known by the public linking anyone to the monument’s destruction.
Taylor’s only connection to the story is as a vocal opponent to the statue’s existence. On Twitter, Taylor has expressed no sadness at the monument’s destruction and went as far as crediting God with having overseen the Guidestones’ demise.
God is God all by Himself. He can do ANYTHING He wants to do. That includes striking down Satanic Guidestones.

“God is God all by Himself,” Taylor tweeted Wednesday. “He can do ANYTHING He wants to do. That includes striking down Satanic Guidestones.”
Any effort to predict who is behind the bombing would be the basest of speculation. Recent history is replete with instances of sincere and “false flag” acts of vandalism.
Absent additional information from investigators, observers can only wait and wonder.
