Elite secret clubs have always influenced society. In The Secret Societies Handbook, Michael Bradley examines the hidden story behind our economic and political hierarchy. He traces the roots of 21 secret groups that have shaped the history of the last two thousand years and reveals shocking new evidence concerning the true extent of their global power today. When the word "cult" is used, the response is usually the same: dangerous, subversive, anti-family, anti-social. And while this is certainly true, the most daunting discovery in this book is that the most powerful secret societies are actually running the world, seeking to destroy "morality" and the family unit while publicly appearing to be their biggest champions. Their ultimate weapons are power and time. They have the power; only time will bring their obscure scheme to its inevitable conclusion. Bold, uncompromising, and totally absorbing, The Secret Societies Handbook offers a challenging re-examination of world events and the hidden power structures that conspire to engineer them and determine our future.
