Subject: If this is the 7th Column, then where are the others?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

So this is the 7th column. Where or what are columns 1-6?

Do they exist?

Just thought I would ask.

Thanks

Shhhh!!!

Each Column was consumed in the making of the Column after that, thereby increasing its power with each new addition. The 7th is said to be the final Column, the one that shall bring Bungie into the era of World Domination.

I'm not sure if you're serious or not, and I know not everyone else is; but I thought I'd be the party pooper and give a serious answer.

It's only called the 7th Column because of Bungie's fascination with the number 7.

Just my spoiling of the fun,

Yeah 1-6 tasted like fries, but somebody made the seventh out of titanium so people wouldn't eat it.

I'm sure one with the experience of EAGLES would know this; I think he's trying to probe a deeper answer from perhaps a more knowledgeable source than any member.

I kind of figured he'd know, but every now and then I'm surprised. So often, in fact, that it's no longer surprising when it happens.

The first column is Bungie the company-future goverment.
The second column is Bungie emploies & their familys.
The third column is loyal survivors of the world domantion.
The fourth column is citizens who may or may not be loyal.
The fifth column is the seceret police who watch the fourth column.
The sixth column is the regular police force.
And the 7th Column is us, the army and most loyal to Bungie, and theirfore, governers of the different sections of the world.

No. Before the 7th Column there was nothing. No column other than the 7th is worthy enough to have been created.

Actually the Greeks tried the 1st Column. The Romans then tried the 4th. There was a rumor that the Huns attempted the 2nd. There is also a debate as to whether the Chinese were actually the ones responsible for the 1st Column. We all know how these attempts worked out.

On a mathematical note, if you add the three attempts together (1+2+4), you get 7, therefore proving that Bungie is as powerful as the other 3 attempts put together.

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

Didn't they loose the first six columns gambling on a chicken fight in Tijuana. There may have been shots of tequila involved.

It wasn't a total loss since that is how they acquired Ling-Ling's head isn't it.

If this is the 7th Column, then where are the others?

Sunk deep within the halls of Atlantis, somewhere in the bremuda triangle, and guarded by bigfoot and his wife the loch-ness monster.

True. But the long period in between, meaning the rise and fall of the other Columns, did occur. Historians agree that several civilizations attempted to take over the world, and named their empire after some number, followed by the word "Column."

Historians have declared all other theories of the actual Columns to be nothing more than crackpot theories. However, Bungie historians are still trying to find the whereabouts of the other six Bungie columns. (To help settle confusion, "Columns" refers to the previous and future world powers, while "columns" refers to the lost communities of the Bungie company.)

Since 7 is darker, we cannot see out of the seventh column. We are in a system within a system. Like a program within the Matrix we cannot see the entirety of the structure, the system.

The other 6 columns have been spread to the other continents of the world. They have been hidden so well, that whoever may have find them will be lighter than seven.
