Description: |
From Publishers Weekly
In this unconvincing potboiler, Marrs, who charged that conspiracies
were behind the JFK assassination (Crossfire) and government cover-ups
of the UFO phenomenon (Alien Agenda), now offers a sweeping view of
world history through the warped prism of conspiracy theory. The world's
richest and most powerful individuals, he opines, wield excessive
influence over governments and news media through their control of
multinational corporations and organizations he refers to as "secret
societies," such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the international
Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg group (which holds annual
closed-door conferences around the globe). The aim of these "secret
societies," suggests Marrs, is one-world government and centralized
social control, and in this respect, he adds, all these groups and their
offshoots carry the imprint of older secret brotherhoods, including
Freemasonry and the Illuminati. Conspiracy buffs will have a field day
wading through this morass, but other readers will remain unpersuaded by
a tract that proceeds by way of innuendo, quotation of other conspiracy
researchers' extremist opinions and unsubstantiated statement. Marrs
squeezes into his procrustean framework the origins of WWI and WWII,
Nazis' occult dabblings, the Russian Revolution, the Morgan and
Rothschild banking dynasties and the Knights Templar, and he
uncritically entertains a host of maverick theories. His conspiracy
trail winds up back in Mesopotamia, as he plies territory mined by
Zecharia Sitchin, who believes that extraterrestrials founded the
earth's earliest civilizations. Ultimately, this mishmash lacks the
semblance of plausibility that helped make Alien Agenda a bestseller.
