Product Description
Product Description
What secrets connect Egypt's Great Pyramids, the Freemasons and the Council on Foreign Relations? In this astonishing book, celebrated journalist Jim Marrs examines the world's most closely guarded secrets, tracing the history of clandestine societies and the power they have wielded - from the ancient mysteries to modern-day conspiracy theories. Searching for truth, he uncovers disturbing evidence that the real movers and shakers of the world collude covertly to start and stop wars, manipulate stock markets, maintain class distinctions and even censor the news. Provocative and utterly compelling, Rule by Secrecy offers a singular worldview that may explain who we are, where we came from and where we are going.

This book is incredible. Anyone can fire off accusations of corruption to governments, but Marrs has researched this incredibly thoroughly. I know that sounds incredibly patronising but that's how I see it.
The final chapter details the theory of the 12th planet returning to our solar system, which is explored in his earlier book "Alien Agenda". If you're into conspiracy theories and not afraid to open your mind up to the shocking truth then you should check both of these books out. You'll never be the same again.

A really good book, I enjoyed the way the book works back in time starting things we all know, Rockerfellers, Rothschilds, bilderbergers, Morgans, moving back to second world war societies Thulists,Thosophists etc.
Back then to Freemason, illuminati, etc, then really interesting was Templar knights, priory of zion and the Merovinigians era, and back to the best bit in the book in my opion the ancient mystery schools, that include the Cabala, Egypt and Sumer and the Anunnaki. the conclusions you draw and the author points out,(i wont spoil)
are amazing. Its makes sense of why so many old doctrines and religions preach a similar story and have similar stories. You can see how there interpretaion of events based on there understanding of the day, are not how we would interpret them now!! A must read book if you want to understand the power structures that shape your life today.

I agree with the mixed opinions expressed by other reviewers for this book. Jim Marrs has performed a staggering amount of research to write this, and the first quarter of the book really does open your eyes as to the various groups of people that seem to represent the "highest power". Its interesting how Marrs makes constant links back to the same people (Rockefellers, Rothschilds etc).
Sadly though I found this book a difficult read. Toward the end of the book there are so many people and parties named that I found it confusing. Also, I don't believe the book presents 'the hidden history that connects the Trilateral Commisions, The Freemasons'. It merely states that certain people of considerable power happened to be part of these various organisations, but stops there.
Also, as the book progresses the claims get more and more spectacular, moving onto alien races ruling the Egyptians. We cannot verify the accuracy of all these tales for obvious reasons, so I began to wonder just how elaborate these theories could get before they became rediculous. I would be fantastic to think that aliens really did build the pyramids etc, but its hard to believe with the existing evidence we have based on ancient texts that may not even be interpretted correctly, if indeed genuine to begin with.
I liked this book because it provides strong evidence that there are a select group of individuals who make the world's major decisions and value their wealth and power over human life (creating wars for profit etc). I believe that these people may also hold the answers to other points made in the book about our alien origins. However, its unlikely we will really find out these truths any time soon, so I kind of took the subject matter with a pinch of salt...!
