What secrets connect Egypt‘s Great Pyramids, the Freemasons, and the Council on Foreign Relations? In this astonishing book, celebrated journalist Jim Marrs examines the world‘s most closely guarded secrets, tracing the history of clandestine societies and the power they have wielded – from the ancient mysteries to modern–day conspiracy theories.

Searching for truth, he uncovers disturbing evidence that the real movers and shakers of the world collude covertly to start and stop wars, manipulate stock markets, maintain class distinctions, and even censor the news. Provocative and utterly compelling, Rule by Secrecy offers a singular worldview that may explain who we are, where we came from, and where we are going.

A must read for ALL

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020

I don't want to get into too much and ruin it for anyone but I will say that if you think you know pretty much what you need to know about the USA and our history then this is for you. I also read Jim Marrs book "The fourth Reich" (or something like that) and that book is another that is outstanding and should be read by all as it explains many things unknown to most citizens at least a portion of why this country is in the position it has been in for decades now. Absolutely worth getting. In fact I suggested the 4th Reich one to everyone I know and this book written previous to that one is equally worthy.

Why would anyone give this book a good review!?!?

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

I wish I had read the negative reviews and not just a positive reviews before I bought this book. It gives way too much information about useless stuff and not nearly enough information about what is pertinent for today. Unless you want chapters of information about time periods in the 14th and 15th century etc., this book is not for you. It finally made me mad enough to stop reading when I got to the end of the book and saw his own agenda. Definitely against Christianity. I will never read another book by this author!

light on the hidden hands of history

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2013

Verified Purchase

First off, I must note that Mr. Marrs is writing as a journalist, and not a historian or scientist. As such, his primary method of research is based largely on a survey of works of other authors, often centuries removed from the present. Thus, his work may be colored by attempts at disinformation and propaganda that these other authors advanced with their own agenda. Bearing this in mind, I still find the book quite useful and informative, indicating at least what may have happened to bring about our current states of affairs.

The book takes a retrospective-chronological path, starting with today's secret and semisecret societies, such as the Bilderbergs, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission (to name a few) and works their way back to the Egyptians, the Sumerians, and beyond. Interesting to note how many members of secret societies today occupy positions of power and influence which greatly affect national policies and world situations. Marrs shows how true this is especially in government, industry and finance, where the CFR, the Trilateralists, the Bilderbergs and Bonesmen constitute at least a skeletal shadow government in the United States - unelected, and unaccountable to the general public or the laws of the land.

The historical sweep of Rule By Secrecy details how today's Bilderbergs, Trilateralists and Bonesmen derived from European Freemasons, Rosicrucians and Bavarian Illuminati. Centuries ago, at the height of the Church's power, these, collectives of "enlightened free thinkers" went underground to evade the tyrannical crush of the Roman Catholic Iron Fist which brutally dominated European life for nearly two thousand years. Ultimately, the spread and development of secret societies is traced back through the Templar Knights, to ancient Egypt, and then from Mesopotamia, to the Sumerians. The final chapter deals with the assertion that we were created by the Annunaki - an extraterrestrial civilization living on a semi-rogue planet, Nibiru, that has many new-agers and E.T. worshipers in such a heated twitter. But I digress . . .

Some long standing puzzles are adequately explained in the light of secret societies. In particular, the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, and infamous forgery, attributed to the Czar's secret police, may have been plagiarized from an even earlier Illuminati or Masonic plan for subverting the Catholic Church and corrupting Christian society. Marrs offers satisfactory evidence that this is so, rendering the Protocols as sort of a template for slandering and demonizing any target group by merely changing the names to those intended.

Ultimately, I can have little faith in the completeness or accuracy of what is disclosed here. How can an outsider possibly discern all that lies hidden and deliberately obfuscated or misrepresented? In particular, I have trouble accepting the scientific implications of a large planetary body swinging through the solar system every few millennia without seriously disturbing the stable orbits of at least a few planets.

But, as a reference providing insight into the network of secret societies, their agendas, their motives, and modes of operation; this book is well worth the price, and the read. One cannot attain a reasonably complete or accurate assessment of the world stage without a proper apprehension of the major players manipulating affairs behind the scenes.

A must read for anyone who wants to understand "The New World Order" and who rules The USA.
Rule by Secrecy explains the anatomy and physiology of The Establishment and The Official Narrative and the US Corporate Media Propaganda Machine: who, what, when, where and why.

Author is a shill. Condescending tone to those who "think"

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

Author is condescending to "conspiracy theorists" and often uses terms such as "ultra-right", "ready believers", "backwoods patriots", "far-right paranoiacs", "Yankee-uber patriots" just to name a few. That should tellyou something about this shill.

If anything this shill is n the disinformation business trying to cloud the water by defending, excusing, explaining things away that are well established and documented "conspiracies". This clown would have you to believe that there are no conspiracies in this world gone mad. That there is not attempts being made in secrecy behind closed doors to push for a New World Order, despite the oliticians, publications, media, even the bible stating otherwise. Don't waste your money if you are a Christian conservative and patriot.

I'm still reading this book. There is a lot to absorb. I've also watched the author on YouTube giving talks on his material. Very good book, very intense, The information he gives can be somewhat shocking and depressing so, I have to go slow with it. Basically, the writer tells the true story of how the world is organized. Doesn't say much for our so-called leaders. I plan to purchase more of this writer's books because I want to know the truth about my world.

The truth about how we have been ruled by evil forces for at least 1,000 years

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

I live in Italy and can honestly say that, regretfully, the Deep State has gotten its clammy claws into this country. So much so that Italian society has lost much of its industrious initiative and carefree, sunny charm it was once renowned for, while its leaders, political strategists, bureaucrats and intellectual elites surreptitiously re-model the nation's (un)democratic laws and principles on those of modern-day totalitarian China. The PD or Democratic Party (all ex-communists at heart) and 5-Star Movement (radical left-wing extremists) have been busily channelling guidance and social policies directly from the CCP ! Anyway, I just want to make a helpful suggestion for potential readers of this work by Dan Marrs, especially any new ones who may not have been aware, until now, of just how much we have been lied to, duped, manipulated and controlled for so long. In the late 'nineties Jim Marrs wrote this in-depth, all-encompassing treatise on the history, and evolution of the 'deep state' which I first read in 2010 when I was researching the UFO cover-up. I picked the book up again the other day and am avidly re-reading it, thinking just how appropriate it is to our times as the DS minions drill down with their deadly global vaccination programme. The book is comprehensive, easy to read and gripping. Jim was a brilliant, courageous, pathfinding researcher (and collator of others' research) whom I suspect was targeted by the CIA, FBI or some such DS agency, and duly eliminated via technology that generates cardiac arrest. His readership was way too large for comfort and therefore he was deemed a threat to the 'Cabal'.

Secret societies and their stranglehold on human governance.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 29, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book by Jim Marrs presents modern secret societies in a thoroughly researched manner. Furthermore, the book links modern secret societies to ancient secret societies and metaphysical teachings. I like the presentation especially as it focuses on modern governance and how some of the modern secret societies and their members meet regularly to discuss the state of world events (some conspiracy theorists say it is more to manipulate events so as to usher in a One World government.
