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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars light on the hidden hands of history
    Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of facts, great book...
    Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This is a great read, a lot information here, plenty of names to do some research about. If only this book was taught in in our school system, we would not have some many zombies running around arguing about what was said on Fox, Cnn or Msnbc everyday.

    To understand this book, you need to unplug yourself from the mainstream media, forget all the talking points, reboot your brain and start over with a new operating system, where you can use Jim Marrs as Windows 95. Yes, you've been tricked into believing that what you hear on TV is the gospel of today, but the media is only there to shape your thoughts and make you think of what the controllers want you to think. That's why there are so many stupid shows and movies on TV today. Dumber people are easier to control.

    Pick up this book if you want to break your programming and start learning on what is really going on in this world. If you don't like to read, listen to Alex Jones, Republic Broadcasting or Oracle Broadcasting, that will also open your eyes to what really is going on out there. Jim Marrs is a great researcher, and his books have 90-95% truth to them along with his own input on the way things are shaping up. Interesting read.

Jim Marrs thoroughly researches his subjects and topics while revealing important facts which help people understand the world . Some people don't want or cannot face threats but for those who understand knowledge is power, this is your book. With greater scrutiny and exposure due to social media and the internet, Marrs proves he is a prolific writer.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Best One Volume on Subject
    Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2005
    Verified Purchase
    This is the best one volume treatment on the subject of world conspiracy I have found. Granted, there will be comments and observations and opinions in the book that cross your (it did mine) beliefs and convictions, but it is not done in an offensive way. The style is engaging, interesting, convincing and thorough. This book reveals years of interest and involvement in the subject by the author and a writing ability that is exceptional. He reports what he has found, and in little time shows the reader he is no newcomer to the subject. My only reservation about the book is the treatment on Biblical history which (for me anyway) is a rehash of theories that don't hold water. But other than that, the rest of the book is a page turner and never dry or uninteresting. If anything, it makes you think. For those bibliophiles out there, Dake's Annotated Reference Bible treats and answers much of what Marrs says in his book. I would recommend Dake for any conspiracy buffs if you are looking for a controversial Biblical explanation for much of what is happening in the world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 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'.

    Reviewed in Italy on March 10, 2015

    Avevo già letto parecchi anni fa questo libro nella sua versione "elettronica" e lo ho voluto rileggere, visto che a suo tempo mi aveva colpito la profondità e l'accuratezza delle analisi presentate dal suo autore.
    E' un libro che non consiglio né ai creduloni e né agli scettici cronici, visto che in entrambi i casi il lavoro fatto dall'autore andrebbe sprecato in una "non comunicazione" di concetti che meritano invece una appropriata riflessione personale (cosa che non può derivare né dalla completa apertura mentale di chi "crede a qualunque cosa" e nemmeno dalla ferma presa di posizione di chi non può accettare realtà che vadano al di là del fatto che esiste un pavimento sotto i propri piedi).
    Un bel testo con ottimi spunti di riflessione, spunti che possono poi essere approfonditi dall'analisi del mondo che ci circonda e dalla lettura di altri testi che possono essere usati per valutare ulteriormente i soggetti trattati, vedendoli da differenti punti di vista.
    Il mio consiglio?
    Se una persona è in grado di mantenere il proprio punto di vista di fronte alla presentazione di realtà che vanno al di là delle "realtà concordate" dai media e dal sistema scolastico, ma allo stesso tempo può assumere un punto di vista differente per ampliare i propri orizzonti e non fossilizzarsi nella "visione concordata del mondo" dovrebbe assolutamente leggere questo libro.
    Se una persona rientra nella categoria della "mente aperta a qualunque cosa" dovrebbe astenersi, altrimenti lo si potrebbe ritrovare internato in un manicomio perché ossessionato da alieni e cospirazioni o altre cose simili.
    Se invece rientra nella categoria dello "scettico cronico", beh, allora dovrebbe leggere Topolino e vivere nel mondo Disney ancora per un po'; questo testo non è certo qualcosa che gli può portare un beneficio, potrebbe scuotere le sue sicurezze, assieme alla sua visione del mondo, e portarlo irrimediabilmente a ritirarsi nel "rifugio dello scettico": la derisione, indicatore più che evidente dell'assoluta assenza di uno spirito critico e dell'incapacità di accettare che altri possano avere idee differenti dalle proprie.
    Un libro assolutamente da leggere, ma non per tutti, solo per chi ha il coraggio di guardare realmente con spirito critico il mondo che ci circonda.
