Why is there so Freemason and Illuminati symbolism throughout all of the Halo games.

  • 02.13.2011 2:49 PM PDT

Good bye Bungie. Thanks for the best game alive! Hope your other games are like Halo.

Because freemasons will take over the world

The Halo Trilogy was designed with many well-crafted and hidden symbols that serve to reinforce the message of the story. You should certainly keep an open eye spotting these symbols and making connections with the story; it's very fun. But there is the line where you start to read into things too much... and this is just that. Or, likely, you are just misinterpreting symbolism that exists for a certain and useful purpose. Could you cite the example of one symbol so I could give you my interpretation on it? I would consider symbolism in the Halo story and its corresponding manifestations my specialty.

Let's see here.

You are on the side of the UNSC throughout most of the campaigns. You're fighting on the side of the militaristic organization where all the soldiers look the same, and have the same personalities, against the Covenant, the collective of different identities working together for a single goal.

The symbol for ONI is the All Seeing Eye.

Let's think about all the kind, kind things that ONI have done.

...

...

Yeah, I gave up too. I think that the ASE is quite fitting to ONI; perhaps not the UNSC, but ONI.

The Assembly probably "inspired" the freemasons back in the day.

  • 02.14.2011 12:48 AM PDT

Thats a good point.

The Assembly does kind of sound like the Iluminati.

There's a ton of symbolism from a lot of things in Halo, OP. Like for instance, whether you believe in Christianity or not, you can't help by notice some allusions to it in Halo, such as the Flood and the Ark, or any number of things. Bungie takes stuff from lots of things to add more depth to the story.

The Eye of Providence in ONI's logo; a classic example. Eyes are associated in Western mythology and symbolic tradition with perception and omniscience. Now then... what does the Office of Naval Intelligence do? They collect information, they keep an "eye" on the rest of the military, and they're all about dirty, top-secret, and clandestine knowledge. That's what their logo and its symbolism serve to support. The symbol reinforces the image of ONI, and that is all. Its mere presence in the Halo story does not make the story related to something else that makes use of the symbol.

the all seeing eye in the triangle. The skull and crossbones that u use in your profile is and has always been the universal sign of pirates later to be used as the symbol of the skull and bones society at Yale Univ. which has a direct connection with the freemasons and the occult. Also the use of the seven columns, 343= 7^3... which means in satanic cults 6 followers to bring the
lightbearer, little horn to this world to conquer.It will come in 3 phases before the New World Order. I am not religious at all but I am not stupid, I see these very same symbols in the media especially in music and movies. We consistently see stars who have been in the game for quite some time all of a sudden falling of and going "crazy" . Like dave chappelle, martin lawrence, randy quaid, are all of a sudden crazy because they go on camera and say they will not be intimidated by the very same people we are talking about. I find it to convenient that these movies and music videos and people have all of these very same symbols in them without connection. I think the world needs to wake up.

didn't know there was a difference, but yeah, I'm just saying ONI (especially the Assembly) is a lot like the conspiracy Illuminatii: controlling everything behind the scenes
