5.0 out of 5 stars Solid research -- the truth is stranger than fiction, February 13, 2003

By	Bill Still "Bill" (McLean, VA. USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having worked in and around the federal government for 20 years, I can say that this little book turns up in the strangest places. It's the only one I've seen that actually tries to document this stuff with real footnotes. The first chapter about the coup attempt during the Nixon Administration still has not been fully recognized for its historical importance. But the trip this event then takes the author on is a fascinating read through the annals of history.

You can see from the other reviews that this book is very divisive. You are either on one side or the other. If a believer in Christ, you'll love this. If Christ is a joke to you -- if you never outgrew rebellion -- this will grate on your nerves. Although the author is obviously a Christian, this is not a work slathered in Chistian-speak. It just states the simple truth and the rest is obvious.

Even most ministers don't understand the simple difference between Lucifer and Satan. Once you read the author's explanation of the difference, your world view will change forever. This little book answers the basic question, "Why even bother to oppose evil," and no one does it better than this author.

The author's view of the cause of the Great Depression is heartbreaking (as another reviewer put it) but right on target and backed by no less authority than 3 former chairmen of the House Banking and Currency Committee plus a Nobel Prize winner in economics.

I don't know where this guy came from, but there is more truth packed into this little book per page than you will find most anyplace else. May it never go out of print. Should be required reading in every high school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Reading But Validation Is In Order, February 24, 2000

By A Customer

I read this book a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it even going so far as to insert many of my own footnotes. It is extremely well-documented, but as with any book, bold statements about individuals and organizations need to be further validated - which I personally have not taken the time to do. I, like many others, have for a long time had an understandably reasonable suspicion of secret organizations. It's the kind of thing you would expect children to invent rather than adults unless there are some sinister motives behind them. My suspicisions lend appeal to the book. Also, it is interesting how he fits many pieces of a puzzle together. By reading this book, some premillennialist Christians might better see how secret societies could work toward the rise of a predicted world government leader with dictatorial status. I would like to know more about the background of the author. Read the book to become more vigilant in your observations of our world, but at the same time, maintain caution against fanaticism.

3.0 out of 5 stars New World Order: ... Some questions .. suggest reading, December 7, 2000

By	Will Burke "will_17" (Glen Allen, VA United States) - See all my reviews

I read William Still's New World Order: The Ancient Plan ... and found his research of magazine article, available books and some out-of-print material worthy of consideration. His conclusions on some materials are quite faulty in my view.

1) p. 31 "So to Luciferians, God has a dual nature ...This idea is symbolized by the circular ying-yang symbol of the Buddhists". I am not quite sure how the Buddhists ever owned the dualism of energy described by the Yin-Yang. Actually it is dark side of the hill, light side of the hill. It describes energy as being composed of expanding, concentrated forces and contracting, diffuse sources. It never sought to describe a God concept in these terms, check the Tao if curious. That is what bothers me about this type of conclusions offered in parts of the book, sometimes shallow in concept, lightly supported, and occasionally conclusions are emotionally stated.

2) Singular references are brought in support of a line of reasoning that is desired to be proved. In some cases the single reference does quite force the proof of the statement - p. 31 "Lucifer the angel of light , forevermore became Satan, the evil angel of darkness" Isiah 14:12-15 is offered in support of this statement. I can see no support for the contention as to whether Satan and Lucifer were distinct personalities or were the same personality from the scriptural reference. But Still goes forward as it is.

But I believe the book has high points if you are careful about not implicitly trusting the generalized conclusions from the author: 1) Chapter 12 - Central Banking, The Council on Foreign Relations and FDR is probably worth the price of the book 2) the independent research offered brings up forgotten points of history: the Ted Kennedy-E. Richardson exchange on Nixon's final days, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace statement of purpose.

This book has several pieces of research while I do not know if they support the Mason's internal secret plan thesis are quite interesting.

I would suggest reading.
