Secret Societies of America's Elite From the Knights Templar to Skull and Bones

Secret Societies of America's Elite exposes the dark and critical role secret societies play within the ruling families in America and their tremendous influence on American democracy, current events, and world history. Secret societies have always been a major force in the history of Western civilization. The alliances formed in the Knights Templar, the Knights of Christ, and the Freemasons transcended patriotism and religious beliefs and had a powerful influence on the establishment of the United States of America. Masonic cells are credited with smuggling in the democratic ideals inspiring the American Revolution. Yet while these secret associations of merchants, smugglers, occultists, gamblers, spies, and slavers succeeded in freeing the United States from foreign domination, the dark side is that the elite used their connections to further their own wealth and power. These secret cells did not hesitate to sponsor the assassination of a president and even attempted to break up the union on several occasions when it was deemed expedient. From the Sons of Liberty and the Essex Junto to the Ku Klux Klan, secret societies have played critical roles in building the fortunes of America's most powerful families. Now Steven Sora reveals in alarming detail how these societies continue to wield power even today as organizations such as Yale's Skull and Bones unite America's modern ruling families as strongly as Masonic Lodges once connected the Astors, Livingstons, and Roosevelts. Their immense power and wealth allow this elite to control America to an even greater degree than the Templars once dominated Europe.Sora, Steven is the author of 'Secret Societies of America's Elite From the Knights Templar to Skull and Bones' with ISBN 9780892819591 and ISBN 0892819596.
