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.

Format:Paperback
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.

This is a thought provoking book, based on good research, which addresses how governments/corporate business etc, can and does manipulate us,the populace at large, historically largely through so-called Secret Societies. The last part, however,deals with rather unproveable conjectures which may well be true,(and to which I personally subscribe),but lets the book itself down somewhat in that the author portrays as fact the opinions of others (such as myself) who themselves acknowledge these "facts" are speculation, albeit based on relevant and legitimate evidence. For instance the Kennedy assassination, the Korean War, Vietnam, the Federal Reserve, various wars and diverse historical characters are all given an eye-opening treatment which made me at least re-evaluate the history I had previously been taught. The Priory of Sion, Templars and the theories of Zecharia Sitchin - all of which I personally largely agree with - are, however, presented as fact, when realy they are justifiable speculation, and this detracts from the otherwise demonstrably factual nature of the book, not because they are "wrong" but because they are presented as "right". Overall a thoroughly good book very well worth reading, but I just wish the author had been a bit more self-critical in his more speculative and assumptive assertions.

Pure genius. This book is both interested me from start to finish, but it has also opened my mind to other things that are going on behind the scenes. The history of the Knights Templar, The priory of Sion, and the CFR are all looked at, some in more depth than others. This book is really worth reading, even if it’s just to find out how incestuous the ruling classes and leaders of the old world, and the new world were and are.

Seriously misleading, promoting acknowledged hoaxes as facts
Jim Marrs has written many books on "conspiracy" subjects but if Rule by Secrecy is typical of his work, I won't be reading any more. Read more
