| Description: |
The origins of the French Revolution, the murder of the Romanovs, and the Roswell UFO incident are connected through Illuminati, which is one of the world's most mysterious and feared secret societies. Looking at the reality and the myths, this book questions allegations and explores how fears about the group have taken many different forms. |
| Synopsis: |
What links an 18th-century president of Yale, an inter-war aristocratic Nazi sympathizer, a McCarthy-era anticommunist zealot and the former editor of Playboy? How are the origins of the French Revolution, the murder of the Romanovs, the design of the dollar bill and alien abductions connected? The answer lies with one of the world's most mysterious, feared and arguably, maligned secret societies - the Illuminati. References to the Illuminati span centuries, millennia even, yet the group actually existed for little over a decade. So why are they said to be behind the world's greatest conspiracies? For nearly 250 years references to the Illuminati and their alleged influence on major world world events have continued to resurface. There are those who claim the Illuminati are much older than their first recorded incarnation suggests, dating their origins to the time of the pyramids, and others who believe the group is literally not of this planet but part of an alien culture bent on taking over the earth.This book looks at the reality and the myths, questions the allegations and explores how fears about the group have taken many different forms, whether fear of intellectuals during the Enlightenment, or fear of communists during the McCarthy era. An Internet search reveals that belief in the group's shadowy influence is as active as ever - what does that say about us today? And are we right to be afraid? |
