Secret Societies

Alex Newman

AT A GLANCE

• Secret societies wield enormous influence over American policy.

• They practice bizarre rituals and undermine Christianity and liberty.

• George Washington warned against secret societies.

• These societies are part of a globalist conspiracy.

Behind closed doors, influential men are engaged in bizarre rituals even as they plot against their fellow human beings. It sounds like science fiction, but it is fact. Even today, powerful secret societies such as the Bohemian Grove and Skull and Bones play a major role in American affairs, as they have for generations. And while by nature secret societies are difficult to track and expose, the fact that they exercise vast power over the nation and the world is clear and well documented.

Unlike the organizations outlined in the article about the Deep State behind the Deep State on page (21), these secret organizations do not have websites, official membership lists, or even a public presence. And yet, while almost unknown to the American people, their influence extends across government, business, media, academia, religion, and more. Some of them have been working to spread their lawless doctrines in America since before it was even formally an independent, self-governing nation.

The Historical Illuminati

America’s first president, George Washington, was deeply concerned about the insidious machinations and influence of one particular secret society and its infiltration in America. “It is not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States,” Washington wrote in a letter to a friend that is still posted on the government’s online archives. “On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact than I am.” In a 1798 letter to Reverend G.W. Snyder, who had sent him a crucial book on the society, America’s most prominent Founding Father also warned of the Illuminati’s “diabolical tenets” being spread in the country. Also in 1798, then-Yale President Timothy Dwight warned that the Illuminati was willing to use “murder, butchery, and war” to overthrow religion, government, and civilization.
