Book excerpt: Elite secret clubs have always influenced society. First they build power, then they bend others to help them, knowingly or in ignorance, to consolidate and expand their power base. Then they destroy society. Some of them already control the world. When the word "cult" is used, the response is usually the same: dangerous, subversive, anti-family, anti-social. And while this is certainly true, the most daunting discovery in this book is tha the most powerful secret societies are actually running the world, seeking to destroy "morality" and the family unit while publicly appearing to be their biggest champions. Their ultimate weapons are power and time. They have the power; only time will bring their obscure scheme to its inevitable conclusion. This book examines 21 of these elusive and deeply disturbing organizations and reveals in alarming detail how, for five centuries, they have successfully manipulated the global economy, waged wars, and controlled the balance of power to bring about a New World Order.

Download or read book Secret Societies written by Una Birch and published by Nicolas-Hays, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an invitation to the secret world behind the veil of daily events. In its pages you will meet the legendary Cagliostro and the Comte de Saint-Germain as they travel through the royal courts and Masonic lodges of eighteenth-century Europe, fomenting Revolution and working to overturn the social order of their day. Alchemists, magicians, Illuminati adepts, mystics, and Freemasons joined forces with politicians, journalists, scientists, writers, philosophers and libertines in a movement that forever altered the cultural landscape of Western civilization. Inaugurating two centuries of revolution and upheaval, the French Revolution of 1789 put an end to the concept of the divine right of kings, led to the formal separation of church and state, destroyed the remnants of medieval feudalism, and heralded the values of the Enlightenment as the triumphant banner under which the modern world would be born. Yet it was accompanied by a level of violence whose ferocity spoke more of an exorcism than a political restructuring. What lessons does the Revolution hold for us today? Do the forces of secret societies and silent conspiracies continue to influence the world? Historian Una Birch's classic account was originally published in 1911. Her proximity to and sympathy with the events offer a unique perspective. Secret society expert James Wasserman has made this work accessible to the modern reader with extensive annotations, a history of the Revolution, an introduction that places the Illuminati in context, and biographical sketches of the main participants.

Download or read book Homosexual Secret Societies written by Michael Hone and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homosexual societies have always been secret for the simple fact that one could lose one's head ... if lucky, lucky because the usual means was the far more painful burning at the stake. If beheading was found too soft, a miscreant's hands and feet could first be lopped off. Another highly popular method had a man hanged until nearly dead, then lowered and disemboweled before his very eyes, and finally beheaded and the body cut into four pieces (drawn-and-quartered). He could also be castrated just before being gutted, and a popular variation, right up to this day, is having the castrated remains stuffed into his mouth, chocking him to death. Even when one escaped death, the consequences of boy-love were serious, the Oscar Wilde tragedy an example (fully covered herein), and more men than one chose suicide over scandal, from the richissime Alfred Krupp to General Hector MacDonald. The only sanctuary that existed was boarding schools, boys literally locked in their dormitories at night, totally free to practice hard-core Lord of the Flies sexual acrobatics and fag-inspired masochism, an experience that certainly started out in pain for many, but for most it was the imperishable, never to be regained, always wistfully regretted time-of-their-lives, as only first love can be. Boys left these schools for the secret Cambridge Apostles and the Bloomsbury Set, where under the likes of the economist Maynard Keynes they were chosen for their beauty and sexual receptivity. This fully-illustrated book begins with the Templars that flourished, homosexually, despite the sheath of lead imposed by Christianity, although in Rome popes and cardinals had access to vagrant lads so numerous as to beggar the imagination of sultans and their boy harems. Until the Stonewall Riots of 1969 American secret societies were far more muted, especially the Mattachine Society, its roots in California where they refused to rock the boat because busloads of lads were arriving in Hollywood daily, and until they were ''discovered'' they made themselves available at cut-rate prices, as stars have done since DeMille. A major section of the book concerns the Chaeronea Order, based on the Theban Sacred Band, the history of which will bring us full circle to that happier time where a Greek man and his boy could gain ultimate honor--before men and gods alike--by defending one another to the death.

Book excerpt: THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER The complete history of the world, from the beginning of time to the present day, based on the beliefs and writings of the secret societies.

Willl it be the end of Time? Having studied theology and learnt from initiates of all the great secret societies of the world, Jonathan Black has learned that it is possible to reach an altered state of consciousness in which we can see things about the way the world works that hidden from our everyday commonsensical consciousness. This history shows that by using secret techniques, people such as Leonardo da Vinci, Isaac Newton and George Washington have worked themselves into this altered state - and have been able to access supernatural levels of intelligence. This book will leave you questioning every aspect of your life and spotting hidden messages in the very fabric of society and in life itself. It will open your mind to a new way of living and leave you questioning everything you have been taught - and everything you've taught your children.
Download or read book The Temple of Solomon written by James Wasserman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully illustrated history of the Temple of Solomon • Examines the Temple of Solomon in the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, and Apocryphal writings • Explores its role in the founding of Freemasonry, the legends of the Knights Templar, the doctrines of the Kabbalah, and the teachings of Islam • Explains the sacred nature of the Temple Mount--the site of the Temple of Solomon--and the secrets that may still be hidden there • Richly illustrated, including many photos and images from rare archives The spiritual heart of many esoteric societies, the Temple of Solomon was located atop the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a site venerated by the three great monotheistic religions as the intersection of Divine and human. Built by King Solomon at the peak of ancient Israel’s power, the Temple of Solomon housed the golden Ark of the Covenant in its Holy of Holies, a sacred chamber where one could communicate directly with God. Centuries after the temple’s destruction, the Temple Mount was used as the headquarters for the Knights Templar during the Crusades, and countless legends have come down through the centuries about the secrets they may have uncovered there, including discovery of the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant. Richly illustrated with biblical and Masonic illustrations, photographs, and ancient and modern paintings--many from rare archives--this book explores the Temple of Solomon in the Hebrew Scriptures, the New Testament, and Apocryphal writings as well as its role in the founding of Freemasonry, the legends of the Knights Templar, the doctrines of the Kabbalah, and Muhammad’s visionary journey from the Temple Mount through the heavens. Seeking to understand the powerful desire of many religions and secret societies to re-create the temple through ritual and prayer, James Wasserman explains why it was built, the magical forces King Solomon may have used in its creation, what its destruction meant for Jews and Christians alike, and why the Knights Templar as well as several modern secret societies named their orders after it. Detailing the sacred architecture of this perfectly proportioned mystical edifice through words and art, the author reveals the Temple of Solomon as the affirmation of God’s presence in human affairs, the spiritual root of Western culture, and an important monument to the Divine nearly forgotten in today’s secular times but sorely needed to bridge the divide between our ancient past and our spiritual future.
