About this listen
Did you know?
- Freemasonry's first American lodge included a young Benjamin Franklin among its members
- The Knights Templar began as impoverished warrior monks then evolved into bankers
- Groom Lake, Dreamland, Homey Airport, Paradise Ranch, The Farm, Watertown Strip, Red Square, “The Box”, are all names for Area 51
An indispensable guide, Cults, Conspiracies, and Secret Societies connects the dots and sets the record straight on a host of greedy gurus and murderous messiahs, crepuscular cabals, and suspicious coincidences. Some topics are familiar - the Kennedy assassinations, the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati, the People's Temple and Heaven's Gate - and some surprising, like Oulipo, a select group of intellectuals who created wild formulas for creating literary masterpieces, and the Chauffeurs, an 18th-century society of French home invaders, who set fire to their victims' feet.

Sanctamonious drivel
Author clearly considers himself better than the 'certifiably insane' 'conspiracists' whose ideas he mocks, despite some of his own statements having been proven ridiculously wrong in the years since this book was written.
Goldwag thinks Al Qaeda was neither a religious nor social movement, a statement about as insane and contrary to evidence as any of the conspiracies he chose to cover.
The cherrypicking of fringe, right-wing conspiracy theories clearly shows the political bias and discreditation intended by the author.
I've never met a conspiracy theorist who cares about numerology as much as the author of this book seems to - but there was FAR too much time spent on numerologucal rantings and references to pop-culture movies/books.
Sad to see someone approach child-molesting cultists with respect, but refer openly to the 'paranoid delusions' of conspiracy theorists.
