Founding Fathers, Secret Societies: Freemasons, Illuminati, Rosicrucians, and the Decoding of the Great Seal

Friends, you are probably like me. We went to school, we attended our history classes, we went to college, we live in America, we celebrate the 4th of July with fun and feasting, we carry dollar bills in our pockets, yet how many of us could write about our Great Seal? Who could you tell right now, how we got the seal? Could you even share with your family and friends around the food and drinks on the 4th of July, why we only use one side of the seal for our documents today? Can you tell why the reverse side was created, who drew it up, and what it means for us today? Are you ever discouraged about the doom and gloom in the news and all the 'stuff' about the economy and politics, leaving you wondering if there is any hope for America and our world today?If you are discouraged or if you don't care enough to be discouraged, or if you feel there is nothing you can do, go get this book and read it as fast as you can and then share it with 10 others who will do the same. If you would read it in a month, share it with 10 who read it in a month and they do the same and continue until we have at least 100,000 readers in the next 6 months and then start loving you dollar bills and talk about the reverse seal everywhere you go. Let's see what we can do to change the doom and gloom to love, hope, and a future for our children and grandchildren and so on for the next 400 years or more.As the old saying, if it is to be it is up to me, let's be the 'me' and share this message with the world. This book was published in 1989 and 2006 and it is 2011 and I just learned of it!! Someone waited too long to tell about it or I would have read it years ago.The message is precious to my heart, soul, and it is for our Well Being. Don't be indifferent and not share this story with others, but be an excited messenger.

The author and the authors in his bibliography have done a fantastic job of salvaging our National Secrets at the Founding of this Country. Joint House Resolution 38 passed in 2005 began to demonstrate how much history has been held back as secret. My ancestor was at the apex of this situation and the plans he made to complete his Chivalric Responsibility were eradicated in 1903 by some Robber Barons who made themselves rich and our country historically poorer.There is an ancient Curse know in Knights Templar lore which King Solomon placed upon his Gold that has been broken. Will the United States defend it Constitution by enforcing Article VI? Just protecting Solomon' Gold by placing it in Fort Knox is not the security that was required. If authorities opened the secrets and maintained our Founding Fathers promise they would clearly understand that it was mans failing that caused 6,000,000 Jews to lose their lives in the Holocaust! God already had the means to eliminate Hitler within their reach. Currently our Country has sought to protect a reputation about the honesty of our politicians that is not honest. As we approach the "End of Time" we are making a decision!This book has preserved elements of our founding that have all but kept the truth from being totally eradicated!

I'm not really a secret society or conspiracy buffjust really like a good read and enjoy historybecause it's our most interesting social science to boot.That said, this book is really curious, for those wantingto educate themselves about how the U.S. constitutionand birth of a new nation was influenced by the mostunforeseen cultures. The symbols will also raise a few eyebrowsand provoke some consciousness. The title is a bit deceivingbecause the content doesn't cover the clandestinian repoire ofthe founding fathers to the extent of binding it substantiallybut it rather keeps your mind busy with questions. Thereis an awfully exhausting bibliography in this very moderatelyshort book, which is may explain why at times it seems like theaim is every where and not targeted. For the price i paidfor this book I can't complain also because it was a stimulatingread. Recommend this one to a select audience who justwants to past the time reading on a lunch hour.

Parts of this book were very interesting, too bad it wasn't the main emphasis of the book. Let me explain, the beginning of the book deals with the founding fathers being influenced by Indian tribes.The Iroquois alliance influence on Benjamin Franklin and other founding fathers was exceptionally thought provoking. We forget, or at least I do, the strong influences of the Indians treaties, and other interactions with them to help create America as we know it. The author shows a similarity between some of the Indian ceremonies and Freemasonry.If the book was expanded, giving more details on the Native American influence, and retitled, it would be exceptionally good. When you look at our currency, even today, there is no doubt some Masonic/secret society type influence. The book explores Masonic ties of the founding fathers. The problem with the book, is the subject matter. Secret societies, which were very popular with our founding fathers, are by their nature closed lipped. The bookgives an overview of the founding fathers, secret societies, and symbolism intertwined in the founding of our young country. Like I said, I believe the subject matter made this book fall short of the mark by not going into enough depth..

I purchased this book wanting to learn how societies such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati have influenced history. The book begins very informatively discussing the battles between the Native Americans and their enemies, and also how the Native Americans treat enemies who were Freemasons favourably. It also details the members of the Founding Fathers who were actually linked with these societies.Moving on, the book then covers the Great Seal (found on the one dollar note) with a huge amount of detail. Sadly however it quickly loses its impact as it begins to cover too much about related subjects that bear little relevance at all to the book's title.I have to agree with reviewers on the Amazon US site who say this book reads too much like a thesis. Take chapter titles such as "A Symbolic and Mythological Analysis of the Reverse of the Great Seal" - it's just too much and has little relevance to the nature of the societies of the title.This is an amazingly well researched book. If you want to learn about every ounce of the American Seal's detail, its history, its former drafts, the artist etc, then this is the book for you. If you want to learn about the power and influence of secret societies through the ages, then I don't believe this is the right choice.
