Purchase options and add-ons

A deep dive into the origins, history, members, and workings of the Illuminati from a well-known and respected expert.

Chilling initiations. Big banks and money manipulations. Possible links to the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Adamses, and Bushes. Reviewing the evidence, documents, and connections, The Illuminati: The Secret Society That Hijacked the World by award-winning journalist and author Jim Marrs shines a light on the history, workings, continuing influence, and pernicious and hidden power of this secret order.

Surveying experts―from those who dismiss the Illuminati as a short-lived group of little consequence to skeptics who dare question the government's accounts and pronouncements―Marrs cuts through the wild speculation and the attempts to silence critical thinkers to tell the true story of this secret cabal. Gnosticism, mystery schools, the Roshaniya, Knights Templar, assassins, Rosicrucians, Skull and Bones, Knights of Malta, whistle blowers, the revolutions in France, Russia, and America, and the structure, symbols, and theology of the Illuminati are all covered.

Marrs takes a broad look at the group and their workings, investigating their origin as “The Ancient and Illuminated Seers of Bavaria,” the depiction on the United States one-dollar bill of an all-seeing eye and pyramid on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, and the Protocols―or procedures―for usurping national governments and gaining world domination, as well as the Illuminati symbolism found in today's international corporate logos. Wealth, power, and intrigue come together in this in-depth exposé on the Illuminati, their history, connections to influential people, and their place in modern America. The Illuminati lifts the cloaks of secrecy protecting the powerful.

Review

“... the truth of the Illuminati is revealed. ... Jim Marrs, being the analytical sleuth that he is, puts all of the puzzle pieces together ...”– JazmaOnline

“… delves deeply into the convoluted history, details, connections, influences, symbols, and present day workings associated with this controversial and shadowy society of ancient origins. … painstakingly tackles the many hidden layers of information and disinformation in a determined attempt to uncover, untangle, and expose the concealed truths buried within the complex and very confusing historical background of what is simply called the Illuminati.” –
Alternate Perceptions Magazine

“… entries on the history and background on the Illuminati, its purported influence on government and finance, Illuminati symbolism still found today, and representations of the Illuminati in popular culture. …” – Protoview Book News

“The Illuminati: The Secret Society that Hijacked the World” by Jim Marrs for more big secrets.” –

A Noteworthy Examination Of One Of The Most Elusive Secret Societies
5 Stars
A Noteworthy Examination Of One Of The Most Elusive Secret Societies
In his initial foray, Crossfire – The Plot That Killed Kennedy, Marrs cemented himself as a top-tier caliber researcher not afraid to question the official narrative, and rightly so. In Rule By Secrecy, Marrs followed suit connecting the dots between the secret societies known as Freemasons, The Trilateral Commission with the mysterious Great Pyramids, and even more. Marrs’ insatiable thirst for mystery showed us with The Rise Of The Fourth Reich that there were not only malignant fascist elements embedded deep within America, but they remain unchecked, as the blatant rise of fascism is taking hold will show. Population Control showed us that the comptrollers have a completely different plan that doesn’t involve most of the global populace.Now, in The Illuminati, Marrs continues his high level of research exposing what is arguably the most well known secret society of them all: The Illuminati.The book delves into (1) the Origins of the order in a rather extensive overview. It also covers how (2) Germany, (3) Zionism, (4) Freemasons, all connect. From there, how the (5) Church connects into this is given a cursory glance. The (6) Methodology employed by the Illuminati is covered in reasonable fashion, while the (7) Suppression of the order is also examined. What role the Illuminati played in the (8) Revolutions of France, America and Russia is reviewed, while the (9) Modern Illuminati and its influences in (10) Pop Culture as gone through as well.Overall, the evolution of the order is catalogued quite well by Marrs, as well as many of the implications therein. Many avenues of information are examined, some more than others, but a vast array of information is brought to bear for incisive individuals to follow upon.Given that humanity is at a crossroads between a tsunami of fake news and a vortex of deception with many hidden agendas behind the scenes, one of the main values of this book will be in individuals coming to realize that there is in fact veracity to some of what they hear about the Illuminati.The Illuminati will be an indispensable resource for understanding our current world and how many of the systemic issues have come about. Anyone who has ever contemplated how this has historically taken place needs to read this book. All who have read an of Marrs’ work know what to expect. For those that haven’t, this is an excellent starting point. But realize the trails that the author has shed light upon are merely starting point.

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017
Wow,the definitive book on Secret Societies by the late great author Jim Marrs,oddly enough he talks of a Heart Attack Gun the CIA uses and after publishing this book he dies of a heart attack,well what an incredible amount of information from ancient Sumerian empire to todays society,th Illuminati was started by Jesuit priests and later by 5 men one for each point of the pentagram and called the Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria they were Luciferian Freemasons steeped in eastern mysticism seeking to develop super powers of the mind and overthrow the world for Lucifer under a one world Satanic religion and enslavement of all peoples by controlling their money, it seems a lot of the world leaders were and are Illuminated ones, "Do what thy Wilt" seems to be their battle cry,President Roosevelt said "There are no accidents, if it happened it was planed that way".The author goes on to explain secret societies started in UR or Urak today Iraq,where the Bush administration bombed looking for what the author called Ancient Technology not weapons of mass destruction.Jim goes on to explain the Sumerian tablets and that only 20% has been translated but talk of another planet and magical chips called Me's,another interesting part is when the ancients discovered something called Monatomic matter a white powder we now call ORME's capable of bending space and time, well in any event the game plan of the Illuminati today is to keep nations split either by religious, racial, ethnic or political lines to benefit the worlds bankers "Order out of Chaos" "Problem Reaction Solution",one more interesting note as there are many is Presidents Harrison and Taylor were poisoned fatally and Buchanan was as well but survived because they were against a Civil War between the states that the International Bankers wanted, an absolutely fascinating read for anyone who wants to know the "Story behind the Story"
