The problem is that most of the DC sites of importance have no
corresponding monuments at Cydonia, specifically the Washington,
Jefferson, and Lincoln memorials, the Supreme Council HQ, or the five
corners of the pentagram, yet claims "The Washington D.C./Arlington,
Virginia area is an exact geometric duplicate of Cydonia!", so it is
clear that the nutter with this site is reaching and trying to fit the
picture into his prejudices and paranoid delusions.

Any time I hear someone going on about freemasons wrt anything but
actual documented history, I take a grain of salt, and reach for the
holy water and silver bullets. Masonry conspiracy nutters are mental
vampires. There is so much bogosity in the field that it is impossible
to avoid the insanity when dealing with it.
