Secret Societies and Their Role in the 20th Century *** bad kitty ***

Excerpt taken from "Everything Is Under Control" by Robert Anton Wilson

Secret Socieites and Their Role in the 20th Century, by Jan van Helsing, attempts to prove that all the other conspiracies anybody has ever claimed to have uncovered serve as fronts for the original Illuminati, which is itself a front for the Rothschild family. The purpose of this supposed conspiracy is to create endless wars, forcing nations to borrow money and get into debt to international banks owned directly or indirectly by the Rothschilds.

Van Helsing provides a handy list of the major culprits in the Illuminati plot: This includes occult novelist and British statesman Lord Edward Bulwar-Lytton, McGeorge Bundy, George Bush, the Delano family (including Federic Delano of the Federal Reserve Bank and Franklin Delano Roosevelt), the du Pont family, Lloyd George, Colonel Edward House, Henry Kissinger, J.P. Morgan, Queen Elizabeth II, Cecil Rhodes, David Rockefeller, Earl Warren, and many other household names in conspiracy hunting circles. He also believes that the Rosewell UFO crash really happened and another spaceship crashed soon after in Laredo, Texas and that the Illuminati killed John F. Kennedy. The actual assasins were CIA agents Orlando Bosch, E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis, and Jack Ruby. (Compare A.J. Weberman.)

Despite the anti-Rothschild emphasis and some passages about rich rabbis in the conspiracy (the "Elders of Zion"), the book avoids denouncing Jews in general and depicts the Nazis as mad hate-mongers. Although much of its thesis sounds like what Hitler was saying in the 1930's, it ends with a plea for love and open-mindedness.
