WikiLeaks and Anonymous are driven by the same ideals and aims as the Illuminati were 250 years ago, and the next counter culture revolution has already begun online. Throughout history governments, dictators and religious leaders have fought to cling to power by either force or manipulation. To counter these there have always been secret societies and groups working in the shadows for the emancipation of humanity. The Illuminati formed in 1776 among European Freemasons and academics with the intention of liberating humanity from physical, mental and spiritual bondage. This brought them into conflict with the ruling elite and religion, but during their brief incarnation they encapsulated the entire ethos of counter-culture into a single system of organized dissent that is still relevant today. The term Illuminati has since become usurped by the idea of a New World Order, but their principles live on through counter-culture and the connected communities of the internet age. Hacktivits and cultural movements like Anonymous and WikiLeaks currently wage war against corrupt corporations and government agencies that try to oppress and exploit society. This book is a wake up call for all who value their liberty and privacy to join the battle to protect counter-culture before it is too late. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This title is a mouthful but here goes, The Illuminati: The Counter Culture Revolution-From Secret Societies to Wilkileaks and Anonymous. Let's go over the technical stuff first. I read this on my Kindle and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of errors in both formatting and editing. The title obviously doesn't roll of the tongue very easily but the cover looks great
I have read just about all major religious texts and most minor ones. I have also read about the origins of most religions. But this book explains it so well about how Religions became what they are today and how Secret societies came to be born as a result of persecution of anyone who didn't follow exactly as they were told. It was fascinating just for that, but that was only the beginning. It is amazing to think where humanity could have been if the Illuminati had been successful at removing religion and corruption from governments hundreds of years ago. It is also sad and extremely terrifying to think that both of those things are at an all time high in most governments in the world today.
I have always been interested in this subject and have family in the masons so have read of and discussed this subject quite a bit. But this book was extremely in depth describing the ceremonies involved in the different ranks of both the Free Masons and with the Illuminati. It also listed all the ranks and what each ones responsibilities were. At times it did feel a bit like a text book, but it did manage to keep things interesting for the most part despite the huge amount of information being dropped on the reader.
I felt the cover and the title was a bit deceiving. I was expecting more of a book filled with wild and crazy conspiracy theories so was pleasantly surprised that it was not. It was full of Information about the history of these mysterious Secret societies and then at the end comparing them to the modern day groups. I thoroughly enjoyed the The Illuminati: The Counter Culture Revolution-From Secret Societies to Wilkileaks and Anonymous and would recommend it to any interested in the history of the Illuminati or of any history really.
Final Thoughts
It was a good read with lots of information. While not much I haven't read before, It was definitely presented better then I have seen before. The cover art is great but misleading as to the subject matter. While I feel this would appeal more to lovers of history than lovers of Conspiracy, both would enjoy it. I am going to give it 3.5 stars out of 5
