Description

Elite and secret societies has always been a major force in the history of the Western civilisation. The alliances formed in secret societies such as the Knights Templar, the Order of Christ and the Freemasons transcended patriotism and religious beliefs and had a powerful influence on the establishment of the United States of America. While these secret associations of merchants, smugglers, occultists, gamblers, spies and slavers succeeded in freeing the United States from foreign domination, the dark side is that the elite could use their secret society connections to further their own wealth and power. These secret cells did not hesitate to sponsor the assassination of a president if it was deemed expedient and even worked to break up the union on several occasions. From the sons of Liberty and the Essex Junto to the Klu Klux Klan, secret societies have played pivotal roles in building the fortunes of America's elite. Now Steven Sora reveals in alarming detail how secretive societies continue to wield power even today as organisations such as Yale's Skull and Bones club unite America's modern ruling families as strongly as Masonic Lodges once connected the Astor's, Livingstons and Roosevelts. Their unbridled power and massive wealth allow this elite to control America to a degree that the Templars once dominated Europe.
