Without this book, or an equally informed source, today's psycho-electronic mind control victim will not be able to understand how such brutal, hidden-in-the-open atrocities can possibly happen in so-called democratic countries.

Other sources which provide the listener with the type of information in this book are the U.S. Patriot movement's shortwave AND WEB broadcasts. Either one or the other is, in my opinion, a must for mind control victims wanting to be fully informed.

Government crime talk show host Richard Syrett recommends this book as an excellent all round reference to explain how many serious and covered up government crimes get perpetrated and perpetuated. He keeps a copy as a bedside reference.

I'm only about halfway through at time of writing, but the first half alone is sufficient to see how the "behind the scenes international elite" orchestrate the activities of all governments, up to and including world wars and economic depressions. You will learn from a source like Rule by Secrecy that in fact most of what you see and hear about government actions have causes which never even come close to being revealed by mainstream media.

I find it most disturbing that so many brave members of the military have given their lives believing in a cause, when the true cause of those wars has been the behind the scenes macchinations of moneyed elites who never came close to a battlefield.

According to this book, and informed broadcasters and researchers, world decisions are made in varying degrees of secret by the world's ultra rich, who use various organizations to formalize their work. Some of these organs are seemingly public, and produce periodical literature. Their literature in turn is used by the shortwave broadcasters to educate the public about the fact that elected officials are puppets of the "shadow government" when push comes to shove.

Rule by Secrecy lists some identifiable organs of the international shadow government, and explains their makeup and history. I will summarize some of these shadow government identifiable organs below, largely using excerpts from the book itself:

*
New World Order
The GOAL of the shadow government which has existed for centuries, and requires the destruction of national sovereignty to achieve. Sovereignty can be accomplished by creating crises so severe that long term help from other nations is required. Massive influx of illegal immigrants can help with destruction of sovereignty. Artifically created long term drought can bring sovereignty to its knees, and that appears to be in progress in North America by way of the chemtrails.

George Bush Seniour spoke repeatedly about the New World Order, but did not explain what this concept meant. The New World Order means a single world government. Reading this book paints a picture of the single world government as overwhelmingly likely, as brutal and totalitarian as is humanly possible.

*
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
"...the granddaddy of the modern American secret societies...".

The council began as an outgrowth of a series of meetings conducted during World War I. In 1917, Colonel Edward Mandell House, President Woodrow Wilson's confidential adviser, had gathered about one hundred prominent men to discuss the postwar world. Dubbing themselves "the Inquiry", they made plans for a peace settlement...

The CFR's [current-day] invitation-only membership, originally limited to 1,600 participants, today numbers more than 3,300 representing the most influential leaders in finance, commerce, communications [media!], and academia. Admission is a very discriminating and painful process: candidates have to be proposed by a member, seconded by another member, approved by a membership committee, screened by the professional staff, and finally approved by the board of directors.

Once the ruling members of the CFR have decided that the U.S. Government should adopt a particular policy, the very substantial research facilities are put to work to develop arguments, intellectual and emotional, to support the new policy, and to confound and discredit, intellectually and politically, ANY opposition...

John Kenneth Galbraith ... called off-the-record talks by the Treasury Secretary or CIA Director a "scandal". "Why should businessmen be briefed by government officials on information not available to the public...?" he asked.

*
The Trilateral Commission
"By the early 1970s, ... many Americans were becoming more aware of secretive organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations. Former CFR chairman David Rockefeller, apparently in an effort to deflect public attention from CFR activities, instigated the creation of a more public offshoot organization: the Trilateral Commission.

"Trilateral" means "Europe, North America, and Asia".

The concept of the Trilateral Commission was originally brought to Rockefeller by Zbigniew Brzezinski, then head of the Russian Studies Department at Columbia University. Brzezinski declared that "National Sovereignty is no longer a viable concept".

Brzezinski's hope for a global society did not exclude nations under the rule of Marxism, which he described as "a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision... a victory of reason over belief." Brzezinski was named North American Director, when the Trilateral Commission was founded on July 1, 1973.

Trilateral Commission led to the 1979 creation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a civilian organization with the power to take TOTALITARIAN CONTROL of government functions in the event of a national "emergency".

Trilateral Commission has acquired a reputation for being the "Shadow Government of the West".

Trilateral Commission has been described by some as a cabal of powerful men out to control the world by creating a supernational community dominated by the multinational corporations.

*
The Bilderbergers
...are a group of powerful men and women - many of them European royalty - who meet in secret each year to discuss the issues of the day. Despite the fact that many highly regarded American media members meet with the Bilderbergers, LITTLE OR NOTHING gets reported on the group or its activities, leading writers to claim censorship and news management.

"Bilderbergers" derives from Bilderberg Hotel in Oosterbeek, Holland, where the group was first discovered by the public in 1954.

Bilderbergers have included CIA Director Allen Dulles, CIA official Thomas Braden, OSS Director William Donovan, and CIA-connected C. D. Jackson, Life Magazine publisher and President Eisenhower's "special consultant for psychological warfare".

Primary impetus for meetings came from Dutch Prince Bernhard, a former member of the Nazi SS, who later married Princess Juliana and became a major shareholder and officer in Dutch Shell Oil.

Americans who have attended Bilderberger meetings include CFR members George Ball, Dean Acheson, Dean Rusk, McGeorge Bundy, Christian Herter, Douglas Dillon, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Walter Reuther, Jacob Javits, Robert McNamara, Walter Bedell Smith, General Lyman Lemnitzer, J. William Fulbright, Henry Ford II.

An obvious connecting link between the CFR, Trilateral Commission, and the Bilderbergers is the Rockefeller family, particularly th youngest son, David.

Senator Barry Goldwater: "David Rockefeller's newest international cabal [The Trilateral Commission] ...is intended to be the vehicle for consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by SEIZING CONTROL OF THE POLITICAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES."

*
The Illuminati
An evolved 1700s order, of German origin, which had as a founding principle that "the end justifies the means" and that bad deeds were only "bad" because of moral rules the Illuminated ones deemed "arbitrary". (Obviously, Hitler embraced this idea.) Merged itself into European Freemasonry, and settled into "Hidden Grades", that is the degrees (ranks) in Freemasonry above 33, unknown to the general public and most lower ranking Freemasons. Unknown if it exists today explicitly, though the groups outlined above certainly appear to embrace the concepts of the early philosophy.

*
Freemasonry
The ongoing "connective tissue" between modern and ancient secret societies, which existed long before the 18th century Illuminati. Derived from actual ancient masons, who had meeting halls or "lodges" in every major city of the Old World and did carry secret construction related knowledge.

Prominent nineteenth-century Freemason Albert Pike admitted that Freemasonry has "two doctrines, one concealed and reserved for the Masters, ...the other public...". The vast majority of Masons never pass from the public to the concealed doctrine.

Deception of the public as to the concealed doctrines has been accomplished by providing both Masonic initiates and the inquiring public with such a mass of contradictory and confusing information, traditions, and history that even Masonic scholars cannot agree on many issues. Author Albert Mackey acknowledges that Masonic records are "replete with historical inaccuracies, with anachronisms, and even with absurdities."

[Eleanor White speaking here:] With secrecy, and a scale of loyalty oaths leading towards a shifting of allegiance from God and Country to Freemasonry, one can see that the upper, not-known-to-the-public-or-most-Masons "Illuminated" levels of Freemasonry would at least provide fertile soil for the nurture and practice of psycho-electronic mind control.

It is kind of amazing how many historical figures were or are high level Masons. Here's a sampling from page 255:

U.S. Presidents: Washington, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Garfield, Taft, Harding, Truman, Ford and both Theodore and Franklin Roosevelt.

Also: John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, Sam Houston, Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, Douglas MacArthur, J. Edgar Hoover, Hubert Humphrey, Winston Churchill, Cecil Rhodes, Horatio Nelson, Duke Arthur Wellington, Simon Bolivar, Franz Josef Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Goethe, and Voltaire.

Here are some other notable tidbits excerpted from the book:

* [Page 7] A French publisher once was quoted as saying, "It would not be possible to trace ownership of corporations and the power structure in the United States. 'They' would not permit it. 'They' would find a way to hound and torture anyone who tried. 'They' seem to be a fairly small group of people who know each other, but many are not at all known to the public. 'They' move in and out of government jobs, but public service apparently serves to win private promotion, rather than the other way around. The Government 'control' that practically everyone mentions cannot be traced through stock holdings, regulatory agencies, pubilc decisions. It seems to function through a maze of personal contacts and tacit understandings." To this one might add THEIR MEMBERSHIP IN SECRET SOCIETIES.

* [Page 7] Many conspiracy authors have written about dark plots to impose a "New World Order" from within modern secret societies such as the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Illuminati, the Committee of 300, and others. Objective researchers point to the absence of libel suits against such writers as lending some credence to their views. Yet the mainstream news media rarely sees fit to discuss - much less investigate - such views.

* [Page 8] When it comes to this nation's deepest, darkest secrets, it appears there are powers even higher than the President of the United States and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

* [Page 11] "They" also maintain monopolies over energy, medicine, armaments, and manufacturing by SUPPRESSING NEW TECHNOLOGIES.

* [Page 13] U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter once revealed, "The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes".

* [Page 13] ...newly elected President Franklin Roosevelt wrote... "The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."

* [Page 14] Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty (retired) served as a Focal Point liaison officer between the Pentagon and the CIA from 1955 to 1963. From his vantage point, Prouty was able to witness the control mechanisms over both intelligence and the miltary.

Writing in 1973, Prouty said the United States is run by a "Secret Team", an "inner sanctum of a new religious order" answerable only to themselves. "The power of the Team derives from its vast intra-governmental undercover infrastructure and its direct relationship with the great private industries, mutual funds, and investment houses, universities, and the news media, including foreign and domestic publishing houses.

"...All true members of the Team remain in the power center whether in office with the incumbent administration or out of office with the hardcore set. They simply rotate to and from official jobs and the business world or the pleasant haven of academe."

"Prouty wrote, 'This great machine has been constructed by such able men as Wild Bill Donovan, Clark Clifford, Walter Bedell Smith, Allen Dulles, Maxwell Taylor, McGeorge Bundy and many others, who have guided and molded it into the runaway giant that it is today. It is big business, big government, big money, big pressure... all operating in self-centered, utterly self-serving security and secrecy."

[EW: Smells just like the mind control perps, doesn't it?]

* [Page 163-164, section titled "Hitler's Support Group] "It was, in fact, wealthy businessmen in Western industrial and banking circles who guaranteed Hitler's success...

"The deal bringing Hitler into the [German] government was cut at the home of banker Baron Kurt von Schroeder on January 4, 1933. According to Eustace Mullins, also attending this meeting were John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles of the New York law firm Sullivan and Cromwell, which represented the Schroeder bank. The next year, when Rosenberg represented Hitler in England, he met with Schroeder Bank of London managing director T. C. Tiarks, who also was a director of the Bank of England. Throughout World War II, the Schroeder bank acted as financial agents for Germany in both Britain and the United States."

* [Page 166-167] "Another American supporter of Hitler was Joseph P. Kennedy, father of the future president. On May 3, 1941, President Roosevelt was advised by FBI director J. Edgar Hoover that 'Joseph P. Kennedy, the former ambassador to England, and Ben Smith, the Wall Street operator, some time in the past had a meeting with [Nazi Luftwaffe chief Hermann] Goering in Vichy, France, and thereafter Kennedy and Smith had donated a considerable amount of money to the German cause. They are both described as being very anti-British and pro-German.'

"And support for Hitler continued to grow in Britain. According to Howard S. Katz, 'In spring of 1934, a select group of city financiers gathered around Montagu Norman ... [head of] the Bank of England ... Hitler had disappointed his critics. His regime was no temporary nightmare, but a system with a very good future, and Mr. Norman advised his directors to include Hitler in their plans. There was no opposition and it was decided that Hitler would get covert help from London's financial section... '

"Considerable financial aid also came from Sir Henri Deterding, the powerful head of Royal Dutch-Shell Oil, who lived in London. His motives stemmed from his hope that Hitler, who had made it clear in Mein Kampf that he intended to subjugate Russia, might regain Deterding's assets in the Baku, Grozny, and Maikop oil fields."

The long following quotation is from a document which evolved from 1864 through 1897, and was apparently FAKED as a document allegedly written by Jewish New World Order planners. FAKED. Intended to bring the wrath of the world against the Jews.

The title was The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, published in 1897 by Russian religious writer Sergei Nilus.

Criminals seeking to enslave and oppress ordinary human beings exist in ALL ethnic groups, and absolutely NO slur against the Jewish community should be inferred by the reader. Given today's rapid destruction of freedom, particularly in the United States, I think this quote must be included here, fake or not, to illustrate the mindset of all New World Order criminals. After all, someone thought this up, and many influential people like Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II, Russia's Czar Nicholas II, and American industrialist Henry Ford, were influenced by or used this publication:

[Pages 146-147] A prerequisite for grasping the background for the rise of the Nazi cult is understanding The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. This is a list of procedures for world domination. This document may have wreaked more havoc than almost any other piece of literature in recent history.

The Protocols still chills readers with its prophetic description of the methodology for tyranny by the few. Its message fits quite well with the elitist outlooks of men like Cecil Rhodes and the Rothschilds. "We are the chosen, we are the only true men. Our minds give off the true power of the spirit; the intelligence of the rest of the world is merely instinctive and animal. They can see, but they cannot foresee; their inventions are merely corporeal. Does it not follow that nature herself has predestined us to dominate the whole world?" stated the Protocols.

"Outwardly, however, in our 'official' utterances, we shall adopt an opposite procedure, and always do our best to appear honorable and cooperative. A statesman's words do not have to agree with his acts. If we pursue these principles, the governments and peoples which we have thus prepared will take our IOUs for cash. [EW: Like the privately owned Federal Reserve Banks, who back their printed money with NOTHING.] One day they will accept us as benefactors and saviors of the human race. If any state dared to resist us, if its neighbors make common cause with it, we will unleash a world war."

The Protocols go on to explain that the goal of world domination will be accomplished BY CONTROLLING HOW THE PUBLIC THINKS by controlling what they hear, by creating new conflicts, or restoring old orders, by spreading hunger, destitution and plague, by seducing and distracting the youth. "By all these methods we shall so wear down the nations that they will be forced to offer us world domination."

Here are some excerpts from the specific points listed in The Protocols, from the book, pages 148-149:

* The Protocol plan "will remain invisible until the moment it has gained such strength that no cunning can any loger undermine it." (Protocol 1)
* "We shall create an intensified centralization of government," (Protocol 5) "...we must develop a Super-Government by representing it as the Protector and Benefactor or all those who voluntarily submit. ... We shall soon begin to establish huge monopolies... (Protocol 6)
* "The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces ... [so that] in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, [there will be] only the only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police, and soldiers." (Protocol 7)
* "... We shall saddle and bridle [the press] with a tight curb ... Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control." (Protocol 12)
* "In our program one third of [the masses] will keep the rest under observation from a sense of duty, on the principle of volunteer service to the State. It will be no disgrace to be a spy and informer, but a merit ... how else [are] we to ... increase ... disorders?" (Protocol 17)
