Title: Rule By Secrecy
Author: Jim Marrs
Published Year: 2000
Pages: 467
Genre: Current Events

Jim Marrs is (to me at least) a classic in the modern era of conspiracy theory books. He has even appeared on television shows to debate ideas regarding aliens, ancient mysteries and secret societies just to name a few.

In "Rule By Secrecy" Marrs goes into these topics, primarily dealing with the secret society aspect and how the secret societies that are known to exist have shaped the history of not just individual countries but the world as a whole. These thoughts and explanations are not just rants by the author, but perspectives based on documented history and other outside sources many of which do not come from other conspiracy books and authors but other authoritative sources as well.

Not only does it show how money and lending practices were developed by many of these secret societies over time, but that they helped shaped who is in office and various seats of power. Some of these for me where a stretch but worth the read just to learn where these ideas come from.

Also included is theories of how religion came to be and how these secret societies and ancient mysteries have helped shape the different religions that are found throughout the world. If you are set in your religious ways you will not enjoy this section of the book as it seems to tear apart the backings of different religions.
