A February 2006 release from Visible Ink Press, Conspiracies and Secret Societies is certain to satisfy the widest possible range of conspiracy enthusiasts, whatever their level of paranoia.     Conspiracies and Secret Societies: The Complete Dossier by Brad Steiger & Sherry Steiger   NEW REVIEW On Aliens, Anarchists And Axes Of Evil         Read The Introduction       Startling allegations. Suppressed evidence. Missing witnesses. Assassinations. Cover-ups and threats. Documented connections to even deeper intrigue. Allusions to the New World Order. Coincidences? Far too many dirty deeds to be mere coincidence.    American history is replete with warnings of hidden plots by the Illuminati, the Freemasons, the Zionists, the Roman Catholics, the Communists, World Bankers, the Secret Government, New Agers, and Extra-Terrestrial Invaders, to name a few.   But if the truth is out there, rest assured that real-life X-File investigators Brad and Sherry Steiger are on the case.   In this age of minimum individual privacy and maximum government secrecy, the truth sometimes seems a battered relic, more myth than reality, and more valuable for its rarity.  Whether you're a conspiracy buff or a recent convert driven by current events, Conspiracies and Secret Societies: The Complete Dossier will satisfy your hunger for solid, objective reporting, shedding light on shadowy brotherhoods of evil and history's darkest corners.  What is the truth about the invasion of Iraq, the destruction of the World Trade Center, the fires that consumed Waco, the bombing of the Oklahoma Federal Building, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, and the attack on Pearl Harbor?   Inspired by the Enlightenment, the Founding Fathers proudly accepted the mission to create "a new order of the ages." But at the same time, sinister forces--powerful occult orders with ties to ancient Egypt and Babylonia--congealed, intent on subverting the heart and soul of America.  Many of these cults or their descendents, honoring the traditions of sorcery and corruption, may still be operating today, clandestinely arranging events on a global scale.   In this broad-ranging encyclopedic round-up of the usual (and many very unusual) subjects, the Steigers uncover and examine the hidden agendas and agreements, the secret cabals and fraternal orders.  Organized in an engaging A-to-Z format, the encyclopedia explores...    Topical issues such as: bio-chip implants, genetic manipulation, black helicopters, weather control, the New World Order, satellite snooping, and the Trilateral Commission.   Historical riddles such as the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, Noah's Ark, the Sphinx, alchemy, the true relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and the churches dedicated to the Black Madonna.   Old and enduring societies such as the Knights Templar, Freemasons, Illuminati, the mystery religions, the Triads, and the Rosicrucians.   Modern-day initiates, including the Skull and Bones Society, Scientology, the Falun Gong, Lightning from the East.   Favorite topics among conspiracy theorists--from Jack Ruby to Ruby Ridge, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Area 51, the Roswell UFO crash, and the abductions of hundreds of thousands of men and women by extraterrestrial invaders.   More conspiracies with terrible secrets such as those involving Unit 731 and germ experiments, the West Nile Virus, the tsunami of December 2004, the death of Princess Diana,  the Federal Emergency Management Administration, Hurricane Katrina, the Global Bank, Heaven's Gate, and mad cow disease.   Recent revelations about Presidents Richard M.Nixon, William J. Clinton, George H.W. Bush, George W.Bush, and their advisors, reflecting perhaps the conspiratorial nature of politics in general.   In Conspiracies and Secret Societies: The Complete Dossier, the Steigers present more than 200 entries, thousands of sources and references, and nearly 100 photographs and illustrations--plus a list of resources for further investigation and a comprehensive index for obsessive cross-checking: a dossier in short, debunking the myths and presenting the facts on an invisible world of influence and power.
