Alright here's the thing...I didn't read anything here I didn't already know so I gave it one star and called it boring. Then my aunt came over today. I realized there are people like her who believe in mainstream media and the elites lies/version of history. So, I think this book would be awesome for her to read to learn the truths about the world in which we live. I'm changing my stars from one to four. People need to know the truth.

This conspiracy theory book is absolutely riveting. I deducted one star only because of how truly terrifying it is.
This is the first conspiracy book I've read that is completely secular. There a no demons and/or aliens at the heart of these conspiracies and though those things do spice up the narrative the conspiracies are much more frightening without them. I also enjoyed the lack of anti-Semitism and racism in this book. There is a hard line drawn between Jews and Zionist which I appreciate.
This book aint for everyone. It's painful to read and may very well transform you irrevocably.
Recommended for anti-globalists.

Banksters, Illuminati, the New World Order, Free Masons and more...Battle Hymn brings it all together and will force you to pull your head out of the sand. Battle Hymn is well researched and annotated, it just might change your whole World view and what you believe. Some call them conspiracies, others fact. New, on the fence or a true believer, Battle Hymn is a must read. And no more needs to be said.

It should be noted that this was published in 2011. This and other authors have warned of Bill Gate's fanatical obsession with population control. It is also alleged that Bill Gates, through his heavy funding of vaccine research secretly intended on much of that research be applied to exploring human sterilization through vaccines.
Part insightful historical reflection, part sensationalism, I think the author would've been wise to stick with discussing the federal reserve, the Illuminati, Bilderbergs, Rothschilds, Vanderbilts, and Rockefellers. There is far more to be discussed there descending down the MK Ultra rabbit hole and mind control. That is an animal in of itself, no doubt exploited by the global elites, but one to be explored with caution and prejudice due to its hazy nature, albeit fully substantiated. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and learned much from the first half.
In regards to MK Ultra and the secretive government mind control experiments, I would suggest Operation Mind Control by Walter Bowart.
The book broadly touches upon various subjects, many of which I have listed here.
-History of the Rockefeller dynasty
-JP Morgan's early connections to the Rothschild's, enabling their connections and influence over the US financial industry.
-The Rothschild dynasty history and it's acquisition of wealth and power over the centuries.
-Operation Gladio
-The council on foreign relations and it's heavy influence over over every administration in the United States history since it's founding. Also, the Trilateral Commission which serves to act as a cover.
-The Bilderberg group
-The history of the Illuminati and its impact on the French revolution and the Free Masons.
-The war between the catholic church and free masonry
-The Bohemian Grove
-The history of the powerful and secretive Federal Reserve and international banking institutions. Their dominant control over the U.S. economy, U.S. government and policy making.
-Theory that the JFK assassination was a result of coup-de-etat carried out by secretive elements within the US government and George H.W. Bush's supposed involvement.
-Lee Harvey Oswald's foreign and CIA connections.
-The effort by powerful lobbies in the U.S. and Europe, and influential educational institutions to indoctrinate public school children with a globalist worldview and socialism.
-The corporate funded media
-The National ID Act
-The "Chip", iris scanners, and other human tracking technologies.
-The attempted formation of a "North American Union"
-Eugenics and population control, Henry Kissinger, Margaret Sanger, abortion inducing vaccine research and sterilization. Bill Gates's donations to fund population control through vaccines.
-Vaccine weatherization and government sponsored bio terrorism.
-Drinking water toxins and fluoride.
-The history of the Freemasons
-The KGC Society
-International bankers allegedly behind the plot to assassinate Lincoln and parallels between that and the JFK assassination.
-The central bank's exploitation of World War I And the formation of the United Nations
-Assistance by the central banks in Europe and the United States to the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.
-The use of the Hegelian dialectic to to create war and crisis
-How the central banks profited off of WWII and funded belligerents on both sides of the conflict.
-Rockefeller's Standard Oil of New Jersey and other U.S. based companies conducting business with Germany through Spain during WWII.
-Special Drawing Rights- SDR's
-Evidences of scandals involving CFR member officials and globalists in instigating and prolonging phony world crises and wars from the Korean War until Iraq 2 for personal gains.
-Accusations of clandestine U.S. government involvement in, and foreknowledge of the 9/11 terror attacks and multiple other conspiracy theories regarding the attacks.
-The government's precedence of unleashing fake attacks in order to justify a counterattack against an enemy such as Operation Northwoods in Cuba and Operation Suzanna by the Mosad.
-Research conducted by former BYU physicist Steven E. Jones that concludes that the WTC twin towers collapse was a result of a controlled demolition.
-Evidences that WTC building 7 was also a controlled demolition.
-Dozens of other holes in the official 9/11 commission report.
-MK Ultra and related secret government experiments conducted on unwitting participants.
-Story of James Casbolt. A strange story of a former MI6 agent who revealed horrific details on how British and US intelligence agencies recruited young children to be secret assassins.
Here is an alternative, more critical article of Casbolt:
https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/...
-The tale of Susan Ford aka Traylor Brice who claims to be a victim of MK Ultra Project Monarch. She is said to have been brainwashed as a young child to robotically perform sexual favors for powerful leaders and U.S. presidents such as Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush Sr, and Clinton in her youth on behalf of Bob Hope, Henry Kissinger, and World Order leaders. She was also programmed to gather valuable human Intel for these men. Her own daughter was recruited to do the same. (This is also described in detail in Walter Bowart's book)
-The author also described another woman by the alias "Susan" with a similar story.

This book really makes you think about the government we have in place today. It brings up a lot of concerns and facts that you would have either never thought about, or if you have raises some good questions.
I liked this book for the most part, but I am not one to think too much into conspiracy theories. Not because I don't have questions; I do, but becuase conspiracy theories can really scare you when you don't have all the facts.This book gives you quite a bit of facs to make your own opinion which I very much like.

All bluster. And assertion, little actual,evidence.
October 28, 2021
Thoroughly researched, you can't deny that there's is much evidence that s shadow government exists, especially in the Covid era. I thought the 911 chapter was great and was the best summary of the odd details of what happened that day. The information in the MK Ultra chapter was not new to me since I personally know someone went through that program and survived it. Overall, I knew generally the information contained in this book but now you have the details and sources to back it up. A MUST READ.

Truly frightening stuff, especially in light of current events.

October 28, 2021A must read
This book will tell you a lot of things you won't want to hear. But the facts are there, they can be checked. So many things have happened in this country that didn't make sense. The official version reported by the press and media did not add up. After reading this book, you will understand why. You will understand a lot of things better when you realize the people and forces that have been at work for many years taking control of our world. I only hope that it's not too late to stop them.

After reading Battle Hymn, now when I watch the news or read articles on the internet, I am able to look thru the BS and see what is really being said and what is planned contrary to what is said or written. There are still good people in government and we can win this battle if more of our citizens become educated as to the evil that is being committed against them. There are several other good books to read on this subject which I plan on starting right away. Will recommend this to my friends.

A must read for all who suspect there may be more behind the curtain so to speak. The 'Sixth Movement' chapter is absolutely filled with prescient information as it relates to the 2020 'pandemic' and vaccinations. Well done Mr. Scura, I cannot recommend this book highly enough as an overview of the players and groups behind the sinister agenda that is staring us in the face. I have made hundreds of highlights and keep adding more as I go back and re-read.
January 27, 2020
A little far fetched at times in particular the story about Brice Taylor...come on now...Bob Hope as a pedophile handler....ha ha....and of course 9-11 is a giant govt endeavor...yeah sure...otherwise there is some good info and history about some of the powers behind the scenes....
December 18, 2022
Very mind blowing, a real eye opener about our government, free masonry, etc. Scary what all they can and have gotten away with. A lot of history. It will make you realize how much more you need Jesus in your life.

Early chapters are extremely interesting and informative (the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bohemian Grove, ect.). Later chapters (mind control).... are somewhat far fetched...

Excellent read, there are pros and cons but very informative wonder if we will really ever know the truth on this.

Battle Hymn: Revelations of the Sinister Plan for a New World Order

4 of 5 stars
This book is just almost a horror novel but it hits way too close for comfort. It has been no secret for many years that many high ranking officials in the world are striving and living each day towards helping form a one world government. This book scares the crap out if me.
In my young twenties, traveling abroad a little and meeting foreigners at college, I came to realize many other cultures do not envy us as much as our country trains from birth & via media to think they do. Many advanced civilizations (as or more advanced as us) see us as nieve, stupid, brainwashed by our media and government into thinking we have freedoms that we do not have. I am not big into politics and worked in law offices for years where I learned that many people are not treated fairly in this "free country" because they do not know the “right people”, or they are a minority, female, etc.
I found this book frightening because it sings a little too true on many facts. I have seen and even had my own "rights" trampled over on an officer's whim to not realize that there are just as many "fishy" things going on in our government as there have been throughout the history of the world. What makes our society any different?
Most of us just try to keep our heads down and go with the flow because even in this "free country" you can find yourself in a world of trouble simply for expressing your opinion if it makes the wrong folks mad. This book is great for people who already have conspiracy theory ideas or even love the dystopian books so popular now
What makes this one so scary is that it could very possibly be true. Some
of it is for sure true. We all like to keep our heads in the sand, & buy the pretty stories shoved down our throats since birth. This is a whole lot to think about and a but of research obviously went into gathering the various information presented here. Some of it is speculation, but some is fact with direct quotes.
This book was presented to me for an honest review before it's public release and my opinion is my own personal thoughts after reading the book & in no way paid for.

I couldn't put this book down once I started. It is important to separate the text from the final chapter of the book, which is not written by Scura and is fettered with religiosity. Scura's writing, however, presents a skeptics take on the oligarchy that has developed over the last 200 years through the manipulation the global economy and the media to such a degree that it would frighten most Americans. Whether or not you believe some of the leaps the author makes to explain what may be in store for a New World Order, there are factual lessons from the past that should be understood. At minimum, Scura provides a well written explanation of how the world's biggest bankers have taken hold of the American people through the manipulation of the economy using the Federal Reserve as the primary tool. This explanation alone, made Battle Hymn worth the read, but there are many more connections that Scura makes that are worthy of consideration when trying to figure out how we got here and where we are going.

EVOCATIVE BOOK
Mr. Acura has done a great deal of research for his book. I double checked much of his statements and found them accurate. Certainly this work will cause the reader anxiety. Perhaps the reader's conclusions will differ from the author's. Personal power and greed reaches out to me as the motivation behind these shenanigans. But draw your own exclusions.

Very informative book. It opens your eyes on what is really shaping world events.
If you read this you might start to believe that ignorance is bliss.
