The IAO uses the eye of Providence from the Great Seal of the United States gazing at the Earth as logo, and the Latin motto scientia est potentia, meaning "knowledge is power". The pyramid has 13 steps, the same of that on the US 1 dollar bill.
As criticism of TIA grew in late 2002, the pyramid logo was removed from the official IAO webpage and replaced with a new logo. In response to questions about its removal, the IAO responded in February 2003 with a "Statement regarding the meaning and use of the IAO logo" published as a FAQ. The original descriptions of the IAO, TIA, and the biographies of senior staffers were also removed from the DARPA web site although they remain widely available on the Internet.

Unfortunately, you're either lying, misinformed, or dis-informing.
Please review the following link:
en.wikipedia.org...

It is most certainly not a emblem that was conceived by Masons and predates Masonry by hundreds if not thousands of years.
Can I ask what an abalone shell has to do with the 'All seeing Eye' or the Illuminati controlling your local television station?

And an old page that doesn't exist anymore really isn't that great of a resource, either.

You two sirs (purporting to be Masons), are exposed as frauds and liars in this matter. How can anything you say now be believed?

Your point.... It's still Masonic.....
The all seeing eye: represents the sun - god's eye - all seeing, most of all this is to do with the sun - light - enlightenment - Illuminati etc
The Shell logo is the sunrise as is the Australian Army logo which motto is something like rise to the challenge etc.

You supported the notion that the DARPA logo was fabricated and did not represent an actual government office.

There are classes in remedial reading and comprehension available in your area. Many are offered at third and fourth grade levels.
It is not Masonic in origin
The Shell logo is a scallop or abalone shell and has nothing what so ever to do with the sun hence the name S-H-E-L-L oil. There is however a Sun Oil Company.
The comparison of the eagle on the Great Seal to a Bicephalous eagle is rather disengenious. If you wanted a true historical comparison a Roman Legionary Eagle, or Aguila, would be a better analogy. For what it is worth, Benjamin Franklin (Freemason) wanted the Turkey as our nations symbolic bird and not an eagle, does this now make turkeys Masonic?
