Conspiracy theorists are insisting that the destruction of the Georgia Guidestones was an act of God, despite evidence pointing to a bomb attack. The monument, sometimes called 'America's Stonehenge', was demolished on Wednesday after an unknown individual destroyed one of its pillars with an explosive device.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has confirmed that an explosive was used, based on debris scatter. However, YouTube conspiracy theorists and a failed Republican gubernatorial candidate, Kandiss Taylor, have claimed that God struck down the stones. Taylor, who received less than 4% of the vote in the primary, had made the destruction of the guidestones a central issue of her campaign, calling them demonic and linked to a 'new world order'.
Taylor released a video insinuating that God destroyed the monument, while also stating she opposes any person who did it. Conspiracy theorists have echoed her claims, with one YouTube video arguing it was more logical that a lightning bolt hit the stones than a bomb. However, local sheriff's office video clearly shows an explosion breaking the monument apart, with a grey sedan driving off shortly after the blast.
Police have not yet found a suspect, but the investigation continues. The monument's destruction has sparked debate, but authorities maintain it was a planned attack, not a supernatural event.
