Wars and Revolutions—1640-1950
"The time to buy is when there
is blood in the street."
Baron Rothschild
Wars and Revolutions that have been fomented, funded, and controlled by secret societies include almost all major conflicts in the last three hundred years. Most modern wars—including all those listed below—have begun as a result of a "false flag" or provocation that can be traced to secret powers who benefit from conflict and upheaval.
"All Wars are Banker's Wars"
Great fortunes are made during times of upheaval. Conflicts result in enormous changes in the possession of property and the expansion of debt. Nations borrow money to fund wars and to rebuild after wars. Long held personal property is often destroyed, confiscated, or sold at a great loss. There is a direct link between those who benefit financially from conflicts and those who work behind the scenes to foment wars and revolutions.
From Congressional Testimony of T. Cushing Daniels, Comptroller of the U.S. Treasury circa. 1918
"When going through the Bank of England I presented a letter which I had from Secretary Hay,
and the official of the bank was very polite. He took me through the bank and when we got
back to the reception room I asked him if he would allow me to put a few leading
questions to him. He said he would, and I asked him if he would give me a statement
of the Bank of England.
B.E.: 'We do not issue statements.'
Daniel: 'Does not the House of Parliament sometimes call on you for some statement as to the condition of
the bank?'
B.E.: 'No, sir; they do not call on us.' . . . .
Daniel: 'How is it that some of these revolutionists, so-called, do not get up in the House of Commons
and raise the devil to know something about what is going on down here?
That would be the condition in our country.'
B.E.: 'Oh most of them are large borrowers from the bank,
and we have no difficulty with them.'
(laughter.)"

England's 'Glorious Revolution'
The influence of Secret Societies on English history long predates the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688 but it was the 'Revolution Settlement' concocted by William III and his backers that transformed England from a monarchy to an oligarchy, nominally governed by Parliament but effectively controlled by the plutocrats of the 'City of London'.
Within the first few years of William III's reign he granted permanent privileges and sovereign status to the 'City of London', passed oppressive laws against Catholics in Ireland, surrendered many of the prerogatives of the crown to Parliament—including the right to make war and raise taxes—and chartered the Bank of England to fund Endless Wars against France (Britain's rival in colonialism and commerce). From this point on, English Bankers were able to finance wars and responsibility for the 'National Debt' was guaranteed by direct taxation of the citizenry. The following century saw an explosion of European and Colonial Wars and the growth of the 'National Debt' into an ever-expanding encumbrance.
Cromwell's 'New Model Army'
The Amsterdam bankers who financed the 'Glorious Revolution' began their take-over of England fifty years earlier by backing Cromwell. Parliament's 'New Model Army', formed during the English Civil War was supposedly made up of dedicated 'Puritan' soldiers, loyal to Parliament, but it was really a mercenary force, financed by foreign bankers. Land confiscated from Irish 'rebels' was promised as a security, to private parties who helped "put down the rebellion". Hence, Cromwell's invasion of Ireland was payback to his backers in London. Documents also exist that prove that Charles I was executed on the direct orders of Cromwell's financial supporters in Amsterdam, and his readmission of the Jews was also directed by Amsterdam.

The British Empire
Most of the territory that composed the 'British Empire' was controlled by private companies based in the 'City of London' that were granted special privileges by the British crown. The government these colonies was largely under the control of a network of traders and financiers whose primary loyalty was not to England, but to their like-minded cohorts. The descendants of some of these imperialist titans are still at the top of the corrupt 'pyramid' of "Corporate America" and modern globalism.
It is instructive to compare the number of major Wars of the British Empire (1700-1900), with the number of Wars of the British Middle Ages (500-1700). Relative to all previous history, the Imperial period of Britain was a riot of bloodshed and conquest. Most colonial wars were fought while England was officially at war with France, so colonial wars that benefitted private trading companies could be financed and fought by British citizens. The opportunity to fight colonial wars at public expense was the main reason Britain entered into most continental wars of the 18th century.
It is difficult to find honest or critical histories about the British East India Company, the Bank of England, or the financial barons behind the "City of London". Most traditional histories of the British Empire are largely propaganda, written from a Whiggish, patriotic viewpoint that emphasizes the positive and "civilizing" effects of British government on foreign colonies. Most modern histories, on the other hand, attribute the abuses and exploitation of indigenous people to general 'racism', greed, and bigotry. Neither traditional nor modern histories, however, reveal the true intentions or loyalties of the behind-the-scenes owners and decision makers of the East India company (EIC), or emphasize the fact that they were accountable to no one but themselves.
The books below provide insights into the rise of the British East India company and discuss some of their monopolistic, manipulative trading practices. Although they are written from a falsely 'patriotic' perspective, if read with discretion, they provided helpful details and insights into the creation of some of the most powerful Cabal institutions of modern times.

The Conquest of India
"The great recipe for quieting a country is a good thrashing first and great kindness afterwards: the wildest chaps are thus tamed. — Sir Charles Napier on governing the Bombay Province after massacring thousands of natives at the Battle of Meanee.
"They [native rebels] began to look forward to the time when the Company should no longer be over-lord in India, and when each prince should be free to fill the land with lawlessness and bloodshed." — H.E. Marshall explaining to British children why the EIC had to dynamite Bhurtpore and slaughter thousands of civilians.
There are many books in the Heritage History Library that cover the British conquest of India, but most are written from a 'patriotic' viewpoint that portrays the activities of the EIC in the best possible light. However, even 'pro-British' books indirectly acknowledge abuses and highlight the EIC's astounding disregard for human life. For example, in The Siege of Bhurtpore the story is told of how the company blew up an ancient Indian city, killing over 6000 Indians who dared to oppose 'British' rule. The EIC gained control of the richest province in India when it used the Black Hole of Calcutta scandal as a pretext to justify the conquest and pillage of Bengal. And of course, the 'barbaric' treatment of British loyalists at Cawnpore and Delhi is highlighted to justify the brutal suppression of the Indian Mutiny of 1857 that cost of hundreds of thousands of native lives. Much of the history of British India can be read as a study in 'Company' propaganda.
The Boer War and Exploitation of Africa
There are few contemporaneous histories of Britain's imperial wars that were written from the point of view of native peoples. One exception was the Boer War in South Africa, fought entirely to put control of the Transvaal gold and diamond minds into the hands of British plutocrats. This war is seldom discussed because only a few thousand poorly equipped Boer fighters were able to inflict enormous damages on the British army, and essentially 'won' the war, as long as the British confined their tactics to conventional methods. During the second phase of the war, however, the British adopted 'total war' tactics and employed concentration camps, forced starvation, and scorched earth strategies to destroy the civilian population. Many of the 'barbaric' atrocities charged to the Germans in WWI were practiced first by British Imperialists against the Boers.

In British accounts, the Boer War was partially justified because the enlightened British government—after dominating the African slave trade for 250 years—benevolently decided to outlaw slavery. Since the Boers who lived outside of British dominions persisted in owning slaves, the British Imperialists—always the defenders of human rights and dignity—needed to annex the Boer Republic in order to free their slaves. Remember we are dealing here with pathological liars and brazen hypocrites, so this makes perfect sense.
One of the masterminds of the Boer War was Alfred Milner (1854-1925). He was also an author of the Balfour declaration, a member of Britain's 'Imperial War Council' during WWI, and chief organizer of the 'Round Table Movement', an "illuminati" front organization that evolved into the 'Royal Institute of International Affairs' (Britain) and 'Council on Foreign Relations' (U.S.A.).

Revolutionary France
France is one of the countries that has suffered most dramatically at the hands of Secret Societies. The French Revolution/Napoleonic Era was a turning point in European history, partly because it unleashed all sorts of 'liberal' ideas relating to law and government, but mainly because an ENORMOUS amount of property changed hands (not just in France, but in all of Europe), and most of the 'New Owners' were beholden to international financiers or associated with Secret Societies. The "Restoration" was one of the great frauds of history—since nothing was actually "restored" to its previous condition, and the 'conservatives' who supposedly prevailed at Versailles were only permitted enough superficial political control keep up an illusion of control.
The Demolition of Europe—The liberal-masonic cabal that instigated the revolution benefitted enormously from 25 years of conflict, while almost every independent family and institution in Europe was ruined or destroyed. The Rothschild financial cartel increased their holdings a hundred-fold during the war while traditional business owners and office-holders lost their livelihoods. Almost every religious or charitable institution in Europe was eliminated or lost its independence as their endowments were confiscated, and their trusted leaders were replaced. Spain was in ruins, the Catholic Church was in ruins, Russia was in ruins, and over five million Europeans were dead. The Napoleonic era was a controlled demolition and the "Restoration" was a sham.
Secret Societies and the French Revolution
The French Revolution is of enormous importance to the history of secret societies. It is discussed in almost all alternative histories because it is such a clear example of how covert forces control events. The following links are written from a perspective that acknowledges the enormous role that Secret Societies played in the French Revolution, and provide information about the Hidden History of events.

Soviet Russia
In 1917, the Bolsheviks carried out the most dramatic and far-reaching insurrection in Europe since the French Revolution. Although it was not known at the time, both the Bolsheviks and Mensheviks parties in Russia were generously financed by western bankers and aided by an international network of conspirators, who had planned the destruction of Imperial Russia long in advance. It was incomprehensible to most westerners that 'Capitalists' would promote a Marxist regime in Russia, but from the point of view of the Canaanite masterminds, socialist revolutions were very effective at confiscating property, massacring traditional leaders, and enslaving the populations.
Canaanite-Jews and the Russian Revolution
The involvement of Canaanite-Jews at the highest levels of the Bolshevik government caused resentment and increased anti-Semitism throughout Europe. Throughout much of the 1920's the 'Jewish problem' was openly discussed and there was increased resentment of Jews, especially in Germany. This was because the cabal was planning for another world war and it suited their purpose to blame the Jews for communism in Russia, and portray the British Empire as controlled by Jewish bankers. In this way Germans would be willing to take up arms against Russia and Britain. Meanwhile, in America and Britain, a flood of pro-Soviet, anti-German propaganda succeeded in shutting down most criticism of 'Jewish' hegemony, and convincing Americans that the Totalitarian Soviet communists were a suitable ally for liberal democracies. Since the goal of the cabal was to convince a war-weary continent to once again throw itself into a suicidal, internecine bloodbath, propaganda had to be 'customized' so that every nation knew who to hate, and what noble principles it had to "fight for".

Russia under the Soviets
The books listed below don't address the problem of secret society involvement in the Russian revolution directly, but they are timely and relevant. "I Speak for the Silent" was written by a Russian scientist who escaped from the Soviet Gulags in the early 1930's. It is a riveting, well written book that gives both a personal account and many factual insights about how the Soviet work camps, secret police, and prison system were organized. It is an excellent exposé of Soviet forced-labor camps and Highly Recommended! The fact that it was published in the early thirties proves the that the abominations of Soviet slave camps were well known and documented before Churchill and Roosevelt made an alliance with Stalin.
Pitt-Rivers account of the Russian Revolution is famous for the Letter from Dr. Oscar Levy that serves as an introduction. Written in 1920, the book demonstrates that both Bolsheviks and Mensheviks were financed and organized by Western bankers and Jewish agitators, and that the 'October Revolution' was entirely imposed by alien forces rather than native Russians.

Revolutions of 1848
The Revolutions of 1848, far from being a spontaneous uprising in the cause of liberalism, were a carefully planned, but ultimately unsuccessful series of revolutions organized and directed by Freemason Lodges throughout Europe. At the time, the masterminds of world revolution were Lord Palmerston, who served as head of British Masonry, and Mazzini, the visible head of the "Illuminati" network. They worked closely together and for much of the 19th century, London was a hub of covert activity, offering sanctuary and support to radicals and revolutionaries who had been exiled from countries throughout Europe.
Lord Palmerston served as Foreign Secretary in Britain from 1830 to 1855 and as Prime minister from 1859 to 1865, and his fingerprints are on every revolution, war and insurrection in Europe during most of this time. He helped direct not only the Revolutions of 1848, but also the Risorgimento in Italy, the Opium Wars in China, the Crimean War, and Napoleon III's overthrow of the 2nd Republic in France.

American Wars — 18th-19th Centuries
Secret Societies have played a major role in American history since colonial times. Most of the original colonies were established by (Canaanite-infested) British trading companies, and many of the "Founding Fathers" were Freemasons. At the time of the American Revolution, however, most Freemasons were sincere liberty-loving, patriots who took the Masonic dedication to brotherhood and freedom at face value. So although the 'higher orders' were always corrupt, the rank and file included many admirable citizens.
Nevertheless, it is almost certain that a number of traditional American heroes worked either knowingly or unknowingly as agents of foreign interests, and their deceptions misled patriots on numerous occasions. The truth about how involved "hidden powers" have been in American history can be disconcerting, but it is not helpful to be overly suspicious or dwell too much on false heroes. For every American traitor there have been 10,000 unsung heroes and patriots. The ideals that the founding fathers fought for are real and eternal and the overwhelming majority of Americans—although sometimes tragically misdirected—have always been steadfast and loyal.
Hidden History of American in 18th and 19th centuries
"Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws!".
— Mayer Amschel Rothschild
Secret societies have influenced American government since its founding, but recognizing their activity is difficult because they disguise their evil intentions with noble-sounding aims, and control opposing factions. The truth is, the fingerprints of secret societies can be found in every war, financial crisis, race riot, and labor revolt in American history. The puppet-masters behind secret societies profit from upheaval and ruin so their agents appear on both sides of every dispute with the aim of prolonging conflict, running up debts, and maximizing destruction, fear, and distrust.
These war summaries reveal the workings of a "hidden hand" behind all major conflicts in American history. The books listed in the following section provide more details.
- Revolutionary War (1775-83) — We are told the colonists revolted because of "taxation without representation" but their far more serious complaints were that of currency manipulation (which bankrupted thousands of colonists), and oppressive navigation laws (which reduced the colonists to serfs the British trading companies). Yet both of these oppressions where orchestrated by the same 'City of London' money-lords who funded the patriots in their rebellion against King George. After the patriots had run up large debts, Alexander Hamilton (along with his lesser known henchman, Robert Morris), promoted the formation of a National 'Bank of the United States' (BUS1) to be funded and controlled by these same powers. At the constitutional convention, these false patriots advocated for a common "national debt" and a charter for the National Bank. They won these concession, but true patriots also made sure the U.S. Constitution contained many rights and safeguards intended to limit these oppressions.
- War of 1812 (1812-14) — We are told that the U.S. entered into a war with Britain because of "trade restrictions" and "impressments", but the underlying reason that Britain provoked war was because the charter of the National Bank (BUS1) expired in 1811, and congress had refused to extend it. Although most Americans were opposed, the expenses of war with Britain forced the government to charter the second 'Bank of the United States' (BUS2) in 1816. Many of the best known statesmen of the era, including Clay, Calhoun, and Webster, promoted the interests of BUS2, while Andrew Jackson campaigned fervently against it.
- Mexican American War (1846-48) — Plans existed to acquire Mexican territory from Spain and to open up southern 'markets' to foreign traders from colonial times, but it took many years to effect. The first step was to support Mexican 'Independence' from Spain, and to sow chaos in order to weaken the new government (1821-33). (Note: The only time Mexicans supported independence from Spain was when the legitimate monarch was removed and replaced by a "liberal" regime. This occurred between 1808-13, and 1820-23; and almost all Latin American revolutionary activity happened during these usurpations.) The second step was to foment the 'Texas Revolution' (1835-36) and the final step was to provoke Mexico into defending their borders in a 'disputed' region as a pretext for a full-scale war. Secret societies, in particular the Freemasons and the 'Knights of the Golden Circle' were deeply involved in all aspects of the Mexican war, and the "discovery" of gold in California within a few weeks of the peace settlement, was not a co-incidence.
- Bleeding Kansas (1854-60) — The successful presidency of Andrew Jackson, who dismantled the 2nd BUS and paid off the national debt, convinced the Secret Societies, and particularly the nefarious, pro-slavery, 'Knights of the Golden Circle' to redouble their efforts to provoke civil war. During the 1850s they sent pro and anti-slavery agitators to Kansas, organized the Abolitionists and "radical republicans" in the north, and expanded operations in the South to foment rebellion under the banner of "states' rights". Very high level government officials were said to be involved in the KGC, and in the years leading up to the war, Buchanan's ministers transferred war supplies the south, so that when war broke out, the 'rebels' would be well armed.
- Civil War (1861-65) — After thirty years of fanning the north-south division, with a 'Radical Republican' in office, a contrived encounter at Fr. Sumter could finally be used to trigger full scale military action. Secret societies worked to keep the conflict raging by supplying arms to the south and pro-war propaganda to both sides. When the plan to divide the nation failed, Lincoln was assassinated, and carpet baggers descended on the south, rigging elections and buying up land that was forfeited due to high taxes. The southern states were disenfranchised and subjected to Marshal Law until congress passed laws and amendments to the constitution that eviscerated states' rights, and centralized federal power in Washington D.C. The war and reconstruction era was also an occasion for a great deal of currency manipulation orchestrated to enrich foreign banks.
- Spanish American War (1898-99) — The war with Spain was provoked entirely by 'Yellow Journalism' (sensationalist, fact-free propaganda), and the "false flag" attack on the U.S.S. Maine. There were indeed a few "outrages" committed by the Spanish government in Cuba and the Philippines, but they were staged by the conspirators and exaggerated by the pro-war press. Spain tried hard to avoid war, but American (secret society controlled) war-mongers were intent on confiscating both Cuba and the Philippines. Hostilities against Spain ended quickly but it took four years for Americans to subdue the Philippine rebels. The Spanish-American War was orchestrated entirely by international Freemasonry and other secret societies.
- The Philippine-American War (1899-1902) — This war is rarely discussed in history books and largely unknown to most Americans, yet it lasted much longer than the Spanish American war and resulted in many times the carnage and loss of life. Dozens of Philippine villages were destroyed and hundreds of thousands of natives perished in the conflict. Even the loss of American lives was much greater: 6000+ American soldiers perished, compared to 300+ in the Spanish American war. In the years leading up to the Spanish-American war, Philippine rebels had been armed and trained by secret societies to agitate against the Spanish government. They were told they would be allowed to form their own government, but were double-crossed by their Freemason handlers, and rebelled against their new American overlords.

Civil War—Both of these books detail the activities of the "Knights of the Gold Circle" and "Sons of Liberty" Secret Societies that were active during the Civil War, but they are written from different points of view; one—written in the early years,—as a warning, and the other,—written after the war,— as a "Radical Republican" call for vindictive punishment of the south.

Mexican and Spanish-American Wars—These books are conventional histories, written soon after the end of hostilities, that attempt to justify America's wars of aggression against Lain powers. Although the involvement of secret societies is not explicitly mentioned in either work, it is clear that both wars were the result of a premeditated conspiracy to provoke conflict and seize territory. Morris's book in particular, is a striking example of cabal-approved, anti-Spanish, pro-war propaganda.

American Wars — 20th Centuries
By the 20th century, Secret Societies had achieved so much control over the American government and economy that they were able to draw the United States into two devastating world wars, take control of our currency and run up trillions of dollars in debt, vastly expand the reach of government at all levels in flagrant defiance of the constitution, deploy American resources to prop up totalitarian regimes worldwide, and redirect all traditional religious, educational, medical, and charitable institutions to serve their agenda.
All these developments were intentional and directed by the cabal at the highest levels. None of the economic, social, or military upheavals of the 20th century resulted from organic, or popular movements. All were fomented and stage managed, although millions of well-intentioned, sincere patriots took up various 'causes'. The real history of the 20th century is one of deceit, brain-washing, and manipulation of millions of people on a colossal, unprecedented scale.
Hidden History of Twentieth Century America
"We shall have world government whether or not you like it—by conquest or consent."
—CFR member James Warburg** testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Feb 17, 1950.
[**NOTE: James Warburg was a financial advisor to FDR. His father Paul Warburg was a Rothschild associate who established the Federal Reserve bank in order to finance the WWI Allied War effort. At the same time his uncle Max Warburg was a German war magnate, a financial backer of Lenin, and head of the German secret police. "Nothing to see here, move along."]
Many authors have exposed the activities of Secret Societies in America, but their reports rarely make it into conventional histories. Worse, the information that is presented to students promotes a distorted 'narrative' and often includes outright lies. Most "Revisionist" histories such as those listed below, flatly contradict the "official story".
World War I and "The Fed"— The History of America's involvement in World War One is closely tied to that of the creation of the Federal Reserve. In 1914 almost no one in Europe or America outside of a group of conspirators, seriously expected a large scale continental war. But six months after Woodrow Wilson and his cohorts turned over the U.S. Treasury to private banking interests, a devastating war engulfed Europe, financed largely by the newly created Federal Reserve. Slanted coverage which portrayed Germans as brutal monsters was also enormously important in encouraging the allies to continue the fight, and histories written immediately before or during the war provide an excellent example of pro-war boosterism, and propaganda.| Monetary Manipulation | William Guy Carr (1956) |

Communism in America — Most people associate the scandal of "communists" in the American government with the 'Red Scare' of the 1950's, but a well-organized communist party existed in the United States by the 1920's, largely under the cover of organized labor. By that time most labor unions and many large industrial employers were controlled by Secret Societies so it was an easy matter to use exploitive labor practices and violent strikes to maximize outrage and ill-will. Intentional brutality on the part of both labor leaders and strike breakers enflamed political divisions, empowered leftist party bosses, and allowed cabal controlled, communist politicians and journalists to present themselves as 'populists.' Several large-scale strikes, such as the Great Railway Strikes of 1877, and 1922 were intended to cripple industry and create havoc, nation-wide.
In addition to labor disturbances, the Communists fomented racial strife, enflamed urban-rural divisions, and infiltrated schools, colleges, women's groups, army and law enforcement, and the judicial system. The complete playbook of the cabal plan for crippling America by stoking class conflict was confiscated during a raid on the 1922 Communist Conference in Bridgman Michigan, but the conspirators were released, the journalist who published the papers died suddenly, and the evidence disappeared down the memory hole.

Henry Ford's International Jew—This fascinating series provides insights into cabal activities in the early 20th century. The series is well researched and the author makes it clear that only a minority of "Jews" in America—almost all wealthy and powerful—are part of the criminal conspiracy. Those he calls "International Jews" rather than properly identifying them as Canaanites. We highly recommend the entire series.
World War II—The following books deal with the falsification of World War II history, but more books of a similar character are included on the main secret societies page.

Rockefeller Network—In Europe a great deal of cabal related criminal activity has been traced back to the "Rothschilds" network of banks and institutions. In a like manner, the Rockefeller family is at the center of many nefarious cabal activities in the United States. A few corrupt institutions strongly associated with the Rockefellers include "Big Oil", "Big Pharma", the American Medical Cartel, the CFR, the UN, and the exceedingly corrupt tax-free 'non-profit foundation' scam. The following books touch on persons and institutions related to the Rockefeller network.

Spanish History
Spanish history is rich with Secret Society intrigue. It is therefore completely distorted in most English-language chronicles. One symptom of this is the virulent anti-Catholic, anti-Spanish Black Legend that pervades almost all popular accounts of Spain and Latin America. In many accounts Spaniards are portrayed as "narrow-minded, priest-ridden, superstitious, racist, autocratic, intolerant, anti-Semitic, bigots", etc., etc. so down-trodden and oppressed by their tyrannical monarchs that they are tragically incapable of self-government. The truth is, since the time of the French Revolution, the great majority of Spaniards have had nothing but distain for "liberal", "republican" government, because they know them to be run by secret societies and international criminals.
No country in Europe has a longer history of dealing with Secret societies than Spain. The Iberian Peninsula was colonized by Baal-worshipping Phoenicians in 1000 B.C. and has never been free of their baneful influence. From Roman times, to the Visigoth era, to Moorish Spain, to the Reconquista, to modern times, criminal cabals have conspired against the common people. A history that dealt honestly with the problems of the Conversos, Mariscos, and Sephardi of Spain would begin by mentioning that networks of Crypto-Phoenicians had infiltrated the upper classes of Spain as well as the Sephardic community for centuries. But since all such observations are verboten, all recorded instances of the Spanish people attempting to defend themselves against their oppressors are reframed as 'bigotry'.
The Heritage History Spanish Empire library contains several general histories of Spain, but all are written from a conventional point of view. However, our Study Resources for Spanish history includes information that helps counter the distortions of the 'Black Legend'. We are still searching for anything approaching a truthful history of Old Spain, with little success.
Spanish Civil War
The activities of Secret Societies in Spain, especially Freemasonry, has been more obvious and well-recorded in recent years. The following links provide important insights into the Civil War period of Spain (1936-39), and reveal ample evidence of Soviet infiltration of the Spanish 'Republicans'.| Spanish Revolution | William Guy Carr (1956) |

Revolutions in Mexico and Latin America
There are few countries in the world that have been misgoverned and looted by Secret Society mobsters as thoroughly as Mexico. And there are few countries where it is as difficult to find anything approaching a truthful history. Most Americans know very little about Mexican history and what they do know is likely to be the opposite of truthful.
The reason reliable histories of Mexico and Latin America are so hard to come by is because even a superficial knowledge of events risks exposing the secret societies that control them. And any sympathetic treatment of the subject tends to portray the interventions of American and British corporate interests in a very bad light.
Histories of Mexico
"The writer makes no claim to special scholarship, nor to the
credit of long historical researches. . . Enough material for a truthful
history of on Mexico could have been had at any time within the last century
without the author being required to have even a passing acquaintance with
Spanish. . . This statement is made to show that the truth has simply
been withheld or covered up, for motives only too plain."
Rev. Francis Kelly, preface to 'Blood Stained Altars'.
The best book we are aware of on the History of Freemasonry in Mexico is Blood Drenched Altars by Rev. Francis Kelly. It gives a candid look at America's southern neighbor and the malevolent secret associations that have dominated every government since Mexican "Independence" in 1921. Unfortunately, it assumes an existing knowledge of the basic outline of Mexican history, so is not a good introductory text.
Another book that provides a different set of insights about Mexican history is Highlights of the Mexican Revolution, published by American Freemasons. It is virulently anti-Catholic and untrustworthy in its claims, but is very candid about the fact that virtually all Mexican politicians are Freemasons, and about the Masonic plan to destroy Christian Civilization in Mexico.

Unification of Italy
The story of Italian Unification as told in most history books is almost entirely propaganda. All three of the most prominent leaders involved in unification: Cavour, Mazzini, and Garibaldi were deeply involved in Secret Societies. Italy had already been controlled by bad actors for centuries, but the great project of the "Illuminati" in Europe was centralization and the wholesale destruction of traditional forms of government. The great problem for the conspirators was that there was little popular support for a revolutionary government and in spite of a great propaganda campaign, the Italians refused to rise in rebellion. Only Garibaldi, who was sold to the public as a dashing patriot and defender of the common people, had any popular following and because of this, he was not trusted by his comrades to hold political office. His puppet-master, Mazzini, was a master propagandist and is said to have been the leader of the "Illuminati" after the death of Weishaupt. He held enormous power as the chief assassin in Europe. Cavour, was the diplomatic strategist behind Italian Unification, but must have overlooked something (probably Mazzini) because he died "unexpectedly" on the eve of his triumph. Garibaldi, the "people' hero", was a complete fraud. All his famous victories were rigged. The Royalist commanders he defeated were all bribed or threatened to throw battles or surrender, and the British navy supported his 'patriots' at every turn. In short, "Italian Unification" was a cabal-run spectacle, and an excellent example of "staged" history.

Germany and the World Wars
"The time to buy is when there
is blood in the street."
Baron Rothschild
The closer one gets to modern times, the more difficult it is for most people to believe that the history they have been taught concerning recent persons and events has been falsified. But the truth is that most conventional histories of the twentieth century are more distorted and misleading than those of previous ages. The rise of Broadcast media ushered in an age of propaganda, misinformation, and manipulation on a massive scale unprecedented in human history.
In order understand the cataclysmic wars of the twentieth century, one must dismiss a great deal of what is accepted as 'common knowledge' of these conflicts. According to the 'Hidden Histories' listed below, both world wars and the Bolshevik revolution were "Bankers' Wars", funded and fomented by international financial interests and secret societies. Some of their goals were:
All these measures tended to increase the economic and political power of central banks and international institutions, and weaken independent communities and sovereign nations.
We are taught to think of 'Capitalism' and 'Communism' as opposing philosophical systems and find it difficult to believe that wealthy bankers and industrialists would support a communist system. But it is a historical fact that the Soviets in Russia and the Communists in China were funded and promoted by powerful international financial and business interests, mainly based in America and Britain. Communism and revolution are simply the fastest ways to destroy national governments and confiscate private property. From the point of view of a 'monopoly capitalist', communism is just a means to an end.
In short, World Wars occurred, not because Germans were particularly racist or war-like, but because the international leaders of European and American Central Banks and Secret Societies desired war and they had enough control of newspapers, political leaders, and military establishments in all European nations to provoke two cataclysmic, internecine wars that were neither desired or foreseen by the population at large. The deceptions involved in provoking unwilling nations into devastating wars were complicated and far-reaching. Those who benefitted from the wars were those who anticipated and fomented them. Those who lost all were those who had no desire for war and never dreamed such devastating conflicts were possible.

Events Leading to World War II — HIDDEN HISTORY
Most Americans know little history, but have seen hundreds of movies, documentaries, pictures and footage from the WWII era, especially between 1938 and 1945—the period of active conflict. The parts of WWII that are mostly falsified and distorted however, are the events leading up to the wars in Europe and Asia, and the negotiations and events following the war that delivered much of Europe and Asia into the hands of the Communists.

Fall of East Europe and Asia to Communism — HIDDEN HISTORY
The most disturbing thing about World War II was how the United States appeared to have "Won the War" against Naziism but "Lost the Peace" to Communism. In eastern Europe, in China and later in Korea, American diplomats appear to have completely caved in to Soviet demands and handed over entire countries and millions of peoples to Communist tyranny. McCarthy's 'Retreat from Victory' makes very specific, documented charges that high ranking American leaders, namely George Marshall and Dean Acheson, appeared to be working in the interests of the Soviets. Flynn's 'Lattimore Story' covers similar material, focusing mainly on events in Asia rather than Eastern Europe. And 'Victims of Yalta' (unavailable as a public domain text), tells the tragic story of millions of Russians refugees who were forcibly repatriated into the Soviet Union—and often sent to slave labor camps—after the War. The betrayal of these, and millions of other freedom seeking patriots into the hands of vicious totalitarian governments, is shocking to those who learn the facts, and was the essential cause of the 'red-scare' of the 1950s and 1960s.

Thoughtful Anti-War, Anti-Militarism Insights
It is striking, when reading contemporary accounts, how blind-sided many American and European patriots were at the turn of events. Conventional WWI histories tend to portray the conflict as inevitable, but almost no one, in advance of the conflict, had any inkling of an impending conflagration. Almost everyone in Europe was caught entirely off-guard by the Hitler-Stalin pact since Hitler's popularity with the Germans was based largely on his vociferous opposition to Bolshevism. Most Americans, who opposed involvement in European Wars and preferred to let Hitler and Stalin destroy each other, were shocked by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and America's sudden entry into the War. Few Germans had ever heard of the Nazi Death Camps and had no inkling of the 'Holocaust' prior to the Nuremburg trials. And almost no one other than those directly involved in negotiations with Stalin foresaw the loss of Eastern Europe to the Soviets or the loss of China to the Communists.
Those of us who learn history as it is reported afterwards, by people whose intention may be to cover-up, make excuses, or mislead, can easily miss the significance of fact that those who anticipate unexpected developments, may actually be privy to 'behind-the-scenes' string pulling. Americans are generally proud of our participation in the World Wars, but it is important to remember, that in advance of both Wars there was strong anti-War Sentiment, and both Wilson in 1916, and Roosevelt in 1940 ran on an anti-War platform. Both Smedley Butler and John Flynn were American Patriots who spoke out against Militarism and the 'Military-Industrial' complex.
