Memes showing former President Donald Trump bombing the Georgia Guidestones appeared on his own social media platform days before the monument was attacked, a report says.
The photoshopped image featuring Mr Trump cropped up on Truth Social on 2 July four days before the mysterious 19-foot granite monument was damaged in an explosion.
According to the DailyDot, the meme was posted by a verified user on the Trump-owned social media site.
It had earlier appeared on Twitter and was shared by other users.
Mr Trump, who backed a GOP gubernatorial candidate in the state who called for the stones destruction, is depicted in the meme holding a stack of dynamite.
One version of the image features the caption: Ready?
Georgias investigative bureau is still looking for the suspects behind Wednesday mornings attack on the Guidestones, which have since been demolished for safety reasons.

Well, I guess the Talibangelicals got their wish after all.

Some think they were done by a White Supremacist which makes the MAGAts destroying them kinda funny.

And in the end, mystery is all we're left with, because now they're gone. I wonder how they were destroyed. Were the stones dismantled and carried away somewhere or were they blown up? Granite is the hardest stone, and not easily pulverized. One thing I think is likely is that whoever attacked them was a Trumper or a religious nut or both.

It is a call for conservationism, as it explicitly states, beseeching people to live in balance with nature.
As the article at your link says,
"...even the most basic knowledge of white supremacist ideology leads to a conclusion that the guidestones are unlikely to be the work of a racist. As a monument to racial superiority, it seems doubtful that Hebrew, Arabic and Swahili would feature on three of the faces, nor that the stones would make a plea for the commitment to nature, a united humanity and international cooperation."
If only the world's population had stayed at 500,000,000. Our ecosystems would be in so much better shape. But that ship sailed long ago. Rich and poor alike want to breed like bunnies, so here we are, living in a rapidly warming planet, in the middle of a mass extinction of wildlife, as habitat is eaten up to make way for houses, and as we burn off our rainforests (the lungs of the planet) to make way for methane-farting cattle. The earth is currently straining under a world population of 7.8 TRILLION. Those stones documented an idealist's hope, and his conservation dreams never stood a chance.

It's all guessing in my opinion.
