Jim Marrs runs the gambit with his underground bestseller, Rule by Secrecy: The Hidden History That Connects the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, and the Great Pyramids. If you enjoy reading about hidden history, secret societies, conspiracy theories, secrets of governments, secrets of wealth, and good old commentary then you’ll savor every page of this edition.
Basically, the author dives into what most seasoned readers and researchers crave, the truth, or at least something that resembles the truth. He touches base on the elitist groups which make the “big wheels” turn in society. It is the wealthy power brokers that govern the masses and there seems to be no sign of stopping the extension of globalization.
“Rule by secrecy” can involve hard to define groups, persons, or systems. Just to name a few: The Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, Federal Reserve System, Round Tables, Rockefellers, Morgans, Rothschilds, and the Knights Templar. Marrs looks into these empire builders and the powerful influence that the members share. What is it that all of them have in common? Secrecy. There can be no argument that secret societies, in fact, do exist and there are documents to prove it.
“Likewise, there is no question that members of these societies exert inordinate control over many of the largest corporations and banks in the world.”
Marrs goes further stating, “These societies hold considerable sway over national elections and policy, yet seem strangely immune to any investigation, whether by government or the mass media.”
The Iron Mountain Boys have used their authority to foment winless wars, revolutions, and countless conflicts. Marrs informs us that the U.S. taxpayers are paying the tab for the weaponry that we have given to characters like Saddam Hussein, only later to launch missiles at the same monsters that we have invented.
We have traded with the enemy, banked with the enemy, and we have even created the enemy when necessary. All of this is done under the guile of secrecy and is executed by secret societies.
The global elite is a loosely defined group of the richest and most powerful people in the world, including “politicians, central bankers, chief executives and lesser mortals” like those who gather at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, traditionally held near the end of January.
There are topics covered like Freemasonry, Illuminati, and Theosophy. Marrs supplies ample detail about Freemasonry, Masonic plots, and the captivating Captain Morgan murder mystery.
(Captain) William Morgan was a resident of Batavia, New York and he was presumed murdered by Freemasons. Morgan was going to publish a tell all book entitled Illustrations of Masonry and this may have upset some members in the local Batavia lodge.
On the night of September 11, 1826, a man paid Morgan’s bond at the jailhouse, where previously he was most likely arrested on false charges. Subsequently, two men went to a waiting carriage, which arrived the next day at Fort Niagara. The unofficial story said that Morgan was taken in a boat to the middle of the Niagara River and drowned. He was never to be seen again, although his book would be published posthumously in 1827.
“In 1848, Henry L. Valance allegedly confessed to his part in the murder on his deathbed, a story recounted in chapter two of Reverend C. G. Finney’s book The Character, Claims, and Practical Workings of Freemasonry (1869).”
Marrs has documented and summarized the essentials based on historical evidence, and he shares his vast knowledge with the reader. His worldview explains where we have been and where we are going.
The book is packed full of enticing historical facts that history buffs will cherish. Marrs definitely knows his history. I personally enjoyed Rule By Secrecy very much and I highly recommend it to like-minded enthusiasts.
