Terrorism and the Illuminati: A Three Thousand Year History

Rate this book
A three thousand year history of the occult, and its relationship with the phenomenon of terrorism, for the purposes of fomenting a Clash of Civilizations and a "New World Order.".
Islam is no threat to the West. On the contrary, Islamic terrorism is a phantom created to serve Western imperialistic goals. Terrorism itself is expressly forbidden in Islam.
Such terror groups as exist are artificial, and intertwined with Western power through a network of occult secret societies, that date back to the Babylonian Kabbalah of the 6th century BC, and a plot to rule the world by magic and deception. Under Herod the Great, a series of dynasties arose, who imposed a corrupt version of Christianity upon the Roman world. During the Crusades, their association with the Ismaili Assassins formed the basis of what is known as Scottish Rite Freemasonry. When Napoleon conquered Egypt, these Freemasons reconnected with their brethren there, sparking developments like the Occult Revival of the late 19th century, the Salafi reform movement of Islam, promoted by Saudi Arabia, and Nazism. They founded the Muslim Brotherhood, a collective of impostors run by the CIA, to further the scheme for world domination.
Appearances belie reality. In fact, the Muslim nations are the victims of terror from the West. With their near-complete control of the media, the powers that be have instilled an inverted image of the real world.

About the author

David Livingstone

6 books97 followers
David Livingstone was born in Montreal in 1966 of a Jamaican-Canadian father (a school teacher) and French Canadian mother. At age seven, he asked his parents who Plato and Socrates were. Told they were truthseekers, he was shocked. "You mean people don’t know what the truth is?" He resolved to find it out.

Livingstone studied history as an undergraduate but dropped out in 1992 when he realized he was being indoctrinated. "When I read that the Indo European [Aryan] race emerged from the Caucuses, out of nowhere, I got suspicious, and began the 13 years of research that led to my first book, The Dying God: The Hidden History of Western Civilization."

While writing that book, Livingstone paid his bills by planting trees in British Columbia and upholstering furniture in Montreal. Raised as an agnostic, he accepted Islam in 1992 after making a study of the major world religions. He married in 2000 and has three children.

A fascinating read. Perhaps the best conspiracy theory book ever written (at least one of the most all-inclusive). Filled with historic references from the Chaldean Magi and the Mysteries of Mithras, through the Knights Templar and the Freemasons to the Rothschilds, Wahhabis and Neocons. The author manages to link every notorious historic power struggle to the Lucifer inspired Illuminati.

In first paragraph of the introduction “While outwardly claiming to adhere to disparate religions, the Islamic terrorists follow a heretical version of the faith, ultimately rooted, like their counterparts in the West, in the same occult doctrine, the worship of Lucifer, and the belief in the use of religion as a disguise to deceive the masses.” And continues “...the Illuminati represent the descendants of the Fallen Angels who inhabited the lost continent of Atlantis. These Fallen Angels interbred with humans, producing a supposedly superior race called ‘Aryans’, to whom they taught the Ancient Wisdom.”

Interesting summary of modern conspiracy “theory” tying together just about every historical faction into a grand demonic scheme to rule the world by destroying all social norms - “Their method of conquest is to wholly demoralize the societies of the world, wrecking their very fabric, by promoting every vice, including sexual depravity, greed and war.”

Discusses these organizations/movements: Kaballah, Jacobins, Illuminati, Freemasons, Order of the Garter, Scythians, Mithra, Manichaeism, Albigneses, Khazars, Magyars, Ismailis, Assassins, Cathars, Knights Hospitallers, Rosicrucians, Shabbateans, Wahhabis, Jesuits, Frankists, Chaldean Magi, Khazars, Bogomils, Sabians, Jacobitism, Zoroastrians, Gnostics, Knights Of Malta, Carbonari, Ku Klux Klan, Doenmeh, Bahai, Babism, Carbonari, Council of Foreign Relations, IG Farben, Nazis, Young Turks, Muslim Brotherhood, Thule Society, Baaths, CIA, Odessa, Propaganda Due, Skull and Bones, Fabians, World Bank, IMF, Bilderberg, MKULTRA, Mafia, Club of Rome, Baca, BCCI, Mujahideen, Heritage Foundation, Freedom House, Doctors Without Borders, WWF, Arbusto Energy, Carlyle Group, PNAC, AEI, Trilateral Commision.

And these people: John the Baptist, Maharal of Prague, Mani, Guelphs, Hapsburgs, Hanover, Rothschild, Weishaupt, Rudolph II, James I, James II, Sinclair, Shabbetai Zevi, Jacob Frank, Plato, Pythagoras, Lucifer, Venus, Herod, Paul, Josephus, Vlad Dracula, Voltaire, Swedenborg, Frederick the Great, Kant, De Molay, Washington, Jefferson, Marx, Mazzini, Palmerston, Bismarck, Pike, Bakunin, Wahhab, Hempher, Rockefeller, Disraeli, Afghani, Blavatsky, Churchill, Schiff, Warburg, Wilson, Brandeis, Balfour, David Lloyd George, Philby, Saud, Ataturk, Hussayn, Pahlavi, Hassan Al Banna, Al-Husseini, Izetbegovic, Nasser, Sadat, Hitler , Rommel, Dulles, Blavatsky, Shaw, Wells, Huxley, Russell, Malthus, Keynes, Mcnamara, Bernhard, Kissinger, Adorno, Kesey, Leary, Watts, Albert, Strong, Khomeini, Lewis, Brzezinski, Bakunin, Heidegger, Sartre, Prince Bandar, Fadlallah, Bhutto, Zia, Noriega, Harari, Clifford, Seal, Oswald, Hekmatyar, Qutb, Azzam, bin Laden, Gunderson, Zawahiri, Bashir, Turabi, Kahane, Nosair, Rahman, Ostrovsky, Ajaj, Mahfouz, Bush, Hussein, Bath, Khashoggi, Genoud, Quadhafi, Taylor, Klein, Bout, Murdoch, Strauss, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Mahmoud, Norquist, Haig, Kissinger, Moro, Ledeen.

Extensively researched, pulling together a vast number of historic events, the tome illustrates one man’s ability to assemble humankind’s past into a paradigm of his own imagination. Great entertainment if read as a work of historical fiction. Better than the Da Vinci Code. Written by a Jamaican-Canadian turned Muslim. One can only wonder whether the author actually believes the account he has written or has merely sought to capitalize on the conspiracy theory market. [David Livingston - when you read this I’d love to hear your response.]

Though much of it reads like the book of Genesis (“so-and-so begat so-and-so who begat so-and-so...”) the author weaves an amusingly fantastical thread though the whole of western history from Lucifer to Osama bin Laden.

But here’s an alternate paradigm to the Lucifer-Osama theory - perhaps people in power have an innate tendency to conspire to maintain and increase their power. They form religious sects and esoteric organizations complete with codewords, secret handshakes and silly hats in order to promote their self interest. They inter-marry and work in concert with those who belong to their circle. Might that not be a more valid explanation compared to explicitly demonic inspiration?

On the other hand ... is there a Freemason conspiracy to destroy all religion and implement a one-world government? Where does the truth end and the fiction begin?

Well this book as has been said before has grammar and typing mistakes but that's not very important. The content is and to be honest this book practically links everything in history to secret groups and societies. (I believe that there is a secret group who run the show)... but this is taking it to a ridiculous level for example he says that Jmaludin Afghani was a British agent which is rubbish because he did a hell of alot against the British and Gandhi even said that Jamaludin Afghani was like an inspiration because he preached freedom from imperialists. And unbelievably he links Jamaludin Afghani with the Nazis which is ridiculous. Jamaludin even went to Paris and made his own newspaper which had an anti imperialists, anti British agenda, and then he says that he was an secret British agent.
I'm very surprised he didn't mention "Lawrence of Arabia" who actually was (a British agent) and was responsible for the defeat of the Ottoman empire by the British.
There is a bibliography in the back and half of his sources are Wikipedia which any real historian would not use as it is unreliable information. I personally have found errors in it when i have be searching it for other things. I know about the Rockefeller's and JP Morgan and these issues but he manages to say that the big financial and political names of today have secret knowledge which has been passed down from 3000 years ago and every king and empire has been related to them somehow.
My advice is not to believe what ever it says in the book, because there are inaccuracies.

Covering a wide array of hot-button, often polarizing subjects such as Zionism, Nazism, radical terrorists factions, and where each fits into this highly controversial picture. Livingstone has delivered an important, albeit highly subjective book that's part history, part ideology/theology and part conspiracy theory. Terrorism and the Illuminati is an in-depth view of secret societies, terrorism and present day conflicts, from the perspective that all are interconnected, related and fueling each other, thus propelling the world towards a "clash of civilizations."

Terrorism and the Illuminati traces and connects individual groups such as the Holy Grail, Freemasonry, the Knights Templar and many others. Lords, legends, myths and elite bloodlines, when analyzed independently appear insignificant and are easily ignored. However, when the dots are connected, a very different picture beings to come into focus. According to like-minded individuals, keeping these connections broken and the lines blurred, has allowed these secret societies and their members to operate in the shadows of a meticulously cultivated public image.

While many dismiss the idea of secret societies and a one world government as mere conspiracy theories run amok, many others would argue that is part of the plan. One should stop and remember the words of the commissioner regarding the catastrophic events of 9-11..."a failure of policy and a failure of imagination..." Thinking outside the box has always been a trait of forward thinking individuals and societies. Analyzing the ridiculous or outlandish has resulted in numerous discoveries and inventions that in retrospect have shaped communities, academics, governments and the world as a whole and their creator's are given the highest, most prestigious recognitions. Although the ideas presented in this book have been discussed for hundreds and hundreds of years, interest in these age-old theories is obviously still alive and well, as was demonstrated by the response to Dan Brown's book "The Da Vinci Code," as well as, the popularity of the subsequent movie, which was an international blockbuster.

I recommend this book to those who enjoy reading books about the occult, secret societies, one world conspiracies and it's possible link to terrorism. Also those who simply enjoy a challenging, thought provoking read that stimulates the mind. Terrorism and the Illuminati offers a strong starting point to begin your own research into this interesting, controversial discussion. Livingstone has included (at the end of the book) an exhaustive resource list that provides readers with lots of information, from a variety of sources.

Happy Reading!

Çevirisini ya da (yazarın kendisi böyle yazmıştır)hiç beğenmedim aslında sonlara doğru düzeldi ama başları çok karışıktı. Kim kimin oğlundan çok özet verseymiş ana konuya gelmek için daha iyi olurmuş. İlk başlarda dedim ben ne okuyorum illuminati miydi konumuz?
