The Gods of Eden [Mass Market Paperback]

The chapter titled "Funny Money" alone is worth many times the price of this book.

A shockingly simple, easy to understand explanation of the "money" illusion and how the whole game works! I was shaken up for a long time afterwards, once I had grasped that it really is literally just a house of cards. Bramley presents a thorough explanation of the world monetary system; outlines the link between economics and war; and queries who is really in control - elected leaders or the money-men. Considering it was started in the 1960s, this book was way ahead of its time.

This is a primer on alternative human history or rather the dark side of human history. Stuffed with facts and information you don't get in school or university and offering a mind-blowing hypothesis, this book loosens the straightjacket of current mainstream beliefs that entangles all of us.

Are you prepared to entertain the possibility that humans have been manipulated and controlled since the dawn of time and by an unknown source? Actually, Bramley did not intend to write a conspiracy-theory book; out of sheer curiosity, he started investigating the root causes of war. And why not? Mainstream historians dismiss or merely skip over uncomfortable information whereas Bramley scrutinises what has been ignored or deliberately obscured.

Bramley essentially follows a certain mystery cult throughout history, from ancient times to present day, identifying its branches through their common symbols. He explains this group's power and its enormous influence throughout history on society, power, finance, religion, etc (you name it, "they" control it).

Anyway, this was the first conspiracy book I ever stumbled across and did I have a shock. I've read criticisms of this book. Many are from people who clearly haven't read it and others take small pieces they disagree with and condemn the whole book - both methods are simply pathetic.

Still others complain no evidence is provided. Just how would you expect Bramley (or any other whistleblower) to provide evidence of such conspiracies?! And what evidence would be "acceptable", anyway? (And isn't it usually the same people demanding "evidence" in these cases as the ones who accept lots of other "facts" without question, for example germ theory, without having ever seen a single germ for themselves?)

You are either a conspiracy theorist or a coincidence theorist. Even though this information - and much more - is now widely available, arguments one way or another are as idiotic as the disagreements about creationism vs darwinism - what's the point when there isn't any proof - at least any proof that the "other side" will accept - either way?!

I understand this book is Bramley's life's work and he does not intend to write another. To my mind, Bramley's successor is David Icke, whose latest book, "Global Conspiracy", goes way beyond Bramley's excellent introduction to this arena.

Later notes: The roots of today's conspiracies are being addressed by many others over the last decade. The uncovering of what had been kept secret from us for thousands of years has been moving rapidly and are exposed in the works of Pierre Sabak, Michael Tsarion and Ralph Ellis, all of whom use etymology (tracing the origin and development of words). These, and other excellent books, like Icke's 2010 "Human Race get off Your Knees", Farrell's "Babylon's Banksters" and Swerdlow's "Blue Blood, True Blood", all reveal a truer version of humankind's history than we have previously been allowed to know. There's also the alien/hybrid origins of mankind explained in Shannon Dorey's three books, starting with "The Master of Speech".

A must have for any conspiracy theorist, GODS OF EDEN makes a well-thought out argument for covert intervention throughout history by various groups and individuals. Even though some of the ideas and details presented may seem extraordinary, the extremely well researched book makes a solid case and could lead even disbelievers to question their own orthodox. Highly recommended.

This book leads to the ultimate conclusion that mankind has and can be easily manipulated through a small elite of intellectuals. The various religious books point out that if the "Gods" are not obeyed mankind will suffer the consequences of the wrath of the "Gods" who usually employ secret societies that control the world to do their bidding. These religious books do have spirituallity but ultimately promote totalitarianism under the guise of "The kingdom of Heaven" where everybody obeys and doesn't question authority. You don't have to believe the book, but it's worth researching and thinking about. Pick it up you, wouldn't be dissappointed!
