That Mysterious Monolith in the Utah Desert? It’s Gone, Officials Say

“As mysteriously as it arrived, a metal monolith that was discovered last week by Utah public safety workers is now gone, officials said on Saturday.

The three-sided metal structure was removed on Friday evening “by an unknown party” from the public land it was found on, the federal Bureau of Land Management’s Utah office said in a statement.”

Notice how the media entertains conspiracy theories about this monolith and about how Biden should release the JFK assassination documents that Donald Trump did not.

But if you want to discuss election fraud or mythmaking behind the pandemic you get censored by the same news outlets and social media giants.

Also the media for the past 30+ years has been silent on the Georgia Guide Stones.

Somebody should bulldoze them down. Then wait and see who, anyone, comes to put them back up.

You would then have found the culprit who put them up in the first place.

No, it is on public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM didn't want to reveal the remote location because they were concerned that someone might "get hurt" looking for it. Several people found it anyway before it disappeared.
