Hiding in Plain Sight: Unmasking How Secret Combinations Operate in the Last Days

Rate this book
This overall combination composed of religious, financial, and political committees cooperates and co-ordinates with all the other groups to accomplish their ultimate plan which is a one-world government called the New World Order. That plan also entails the creation of a one-world religion, to the exclusion of all others. To accomplish the dual goal of a one-world government and religion, they have already engaged the services of a man who is and will be the Anti-Christ. This book examines these financial, political, and religious combinations and shows the false reasoning they use to deceive us. Also examined is the important role of the media in obscuring the actions of this great conspiracy, allowing them to truly "hide in plain sight."

This is a great book for a basic understanding of how many of today's "Conspiracy Theories" actually work together to further Satan's goal from the pre-mortal world of trying to get us to worship him and submit to his control. The book is well written, but make sure you read the second edition because it has been updated with additional info.

War is a profit machine for certain industries. Only Congress has the power to declare war . Reagan put bush in power as a deal to become president . Bushes war in Iraq and Afghanistan were to gain control in the Mideast pushing Russia and China out.
There were no weapons of mass destruction. The Iraqis soldiers had large armament storage areas never used. They didn’t want to fight and surrender by the tens of thousands.

Iraq should have been annexed into the union as a territory along with Cuba.


Iraq oil should have paid for the war not us tax payers .

Congress should demand an audit of all assets seized during the Iraq war. What happened to the room full of gold that saadam had in one of his palaces.

Fdr and woodruff Wilson establishment of a welfare state and the emergence of League of Nations was an elite design and plan . House influence Wilson’s foreign policy . House was a consultant and should have near had access to the president. The cia and fbi and secret service should have block assess. They have obligations to protect the president and constitution

Trump is no elite puppet. Trump has performed marvelously. One of the few presidents not taking orders from the elite. The liberal media has been on the constant attack of everything Trump says or does

Marxism is an ideology created by an elite think tank. Lenin rise to power was planned by the elite and hitlers was on their payroll. The elite want a return by the Jews to Israel and they engineered both the holocaust and the nuclear war in japan to attack the house of Israel.

The world bank and International Monetary Fund should charge 0 interest . It is immoral for inanimate objects to reproduce. Interest is a burden to growth. Gas tax money should never be used for funding the world bank. Oil prices should never be set by London trade. The us should use only us oil and set their price independent of world oil prices . Oil drove the price of gold to over a thousand dollars an ounce. Silver is more useful than gold to industry.

World War I and ii should have seen no us involvement . The us should return to a policy of isolationism . The us are not the world policemen.
The president of the United States does not have an implied roles as leader of the free world. The us should not entangle in the foreign policies of other nations. The atomic weapons were unnecessary to end World War II. The allies had won the war in the pacific and Europe . The nuclear arms race and Cold War were a huge waste of resource

Rock and roll was designed to destroy marriage and families and promote promiscuity, drugs and anarchy. The elite wanted to destroy religion and promote dark arts of magic and devil worship. Rock and rock rhythms were designed to invoke aggression and anger and partial insanity in contrast to melody and beauty .

The elite mandated that inheritance properties be abolished by passing inheritance tax laws through Congress . The media spun patriotism is the great evil. The elite want a single government and to destroy the dollar as a currency. A gold back yuan and ruble will be offered to further weaken the dollar.

The fed is the creation of the committee of 300. The us should repudiate it’s 20 trillion dollars in debt and fire the fed and create an us bank. Greenspan was influenced by an the philosophy of objectivism a communist ideology . The treasury should never borrow money from the fed. The fed should never be authorized by the treasury to buy stock. The fed as the lender of last resort will fail because they have no loyalty and they could abandon America in a time of crisis. In 2009, the fed resisted the request to be audit . The fed audit reveal disappointing performance and loans that made no sense .

The trilateral commission should be exposed and asked to leave America . The organization is anti American and it seeks to create a single currency and government. Nafta and gantt are part of its plan

33 druids witches control and make the final decision in the committee of 300. The media control was gain by investing 5 percent into each enterprise stock and placing editors on staff to keep the actions of the elite out of the next.

Queen Elizabeth is the largest land holder on the world therefore the most wealthy. Land is the measurement of wealth not gold. Land is useful. The round table sits above the committee of 300 and it makes decisions.

The round table invite experts to gain multiple perspectives but always make final decisions as a ruling body or presiding power. Their influence and debates are often violent ending in fist fights among disagreeing parties. The round table listen and accommodate communist. We should never let communism above us government policy formation. Communism should be resisted. The round table created the royal institute for institute affairs in Europe and the it was called the council for foreign relations in the us. Congress should use natural language parsing algorithms and content analysis to determine if the cfr has influenced us foreign policy . The us policy makers should never take orders from European elite. We fought the revolutionary war to remain sovereign . Sovereignty can not be yielded to European elite through political process and complexity. The machine should detect any undue influence from congressional records

The council of 300 have legalize drugs and pornography at local governments. Several of these law are in direct contradicting to federal laws still enforce . Pornography is a dark and evil religion which destroys the soul of man. It appeals to appetites and baser needs of man while polluting the divine essence of man and addicts like a drug into the vice. Evil spirits delight in the practice or sacrifices of virtues associated with pornography

The trilateral organization should be discovered and broken up as an illegal organization. It’s crimes should be prosecuted by the attorney general of the United States .

The French Revolution was an anarchy move by the elite. It was the mark of how social change should never happen. Evil and twisted .

The fed decision should be subject to public audit and congressional oversight and review. The council for foreign relationships is unconstitutional and it influence on us foreign relationship is not mandated by Congress or the judicial or the executive branch and should be abolished.

The United Nations is a war machine. It should receive minimal support from
The us. The United Nations courts should never have jurisdiction over us soldier. United Nations peacekeeper soldier should never be allowed on us soil under any condition. The us military should never feel obligate to handle United Nations disputes. Russia and China have equal voice in three United Nations in comparison to the us. Therefore the us should withdraw membership from the United Nations.

Aids and sars are diseases that should be cured for all regardless of wealth. It is immoral to not offer help to the poor inflicted with aid and sars because of lack of funds or insurance. Demographics with high infection rates should receive help from free organizations not government aid. Government aid improvises and creates greater problems in Africa

The bilderbergers exercise control over the European Union and over russia. They are membership with the trilateral commission and the council for foreign relations. The bilderbergers used nato warplanes to attack Kosovo. The move was designed to steal the treca gold and silver and coal and lead and zinc and cadmium mines for themselves. The mines were nationalized but under us foreign policy the mines could be sold on the free market. The bilderbergers through different fronts bought the mines on the cheap. The us should repossess the mines and give them back to the county of Kosovo and pay war reparations for the war and interference in Kosovo internal politics

Elite think tank groups to avoid: Harvard, Yale , heritage foundation , world council of churches , and ford foundation

Proofs of conspiracy is the best book outlining the plots and crimes and subservient actions of the elite

This book is conspiracy theory 101. Its premise is that Satan does not just tempt individuals, but tries to use people to gain power over massive numbers of others, taking away their freedoms and leading them to live degenerate lives. The grand plan of Satan is to create a one-world government without basic freedoms of speech, religion, bearing arms, etc. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of the plan: economy/banking, military, foreign policy, religion, etc. The style is rather objective, and is not always thoroughly cited. The references, though multitudinous, are not properly linked to the text of the book, so finding each one is very tiresome (they should just be numbered and referred to in square brackets). It would be a useful project for the author to compile the citations properly and link everything on a web page.

I found this book inspirational in some ways; it helped me find statements of political philosophy that I could really relate to, mostly having to do with the value of individual freedom and the need for personal or local initiative over monolithic/micromanagement practices of government. It really goes hand-in-hand with what I've learned from software engineering and general management. I think it's also somehow good to know all of the conspiracies (or conspiracy theories) out there. Mostly the discourse here is not professional enough to accept as a strong witness, but the list of other witnesses gathered is still enough that the contents cannot (all) be simply dismissed.

This book is about secret combinations in the last days. He quotes lots of scriptures and prophets/apostles, but not to the extent as some other books do. About 90% of what is in the book I've read and learned previously in other books, but it gives a late 1999/2000 view which is later than "Secret Combinations in the Latter Days" by Robert Hales. I enjoyed this book, although it is kind of depressing. It helps us to see what's really happening in government and reminds me I need to study American History more diligently and especially the constitution.

I tried reading this. I really tried. But I just have a hard time reading ANYONE'S book who refers to people as "Orientals"... sheesh, PEOPLE ARE ASIAN. FURNITURE IS ORIENTAL. And the whole conspiracy is just a little too much -- Rhodes scholarships are the preferred method of induction? seriously? I will admit, I did learn some from this book -- how to think more critically about certain political subjects and how to liken today's events more toward scripture. And had some very interesting conversations with my husband who was horrified I had even check it out.

I believe every LDS member should read this and be aware of some of the things going on in the world today. I feel more informed and more cautious in many ways. What an eye opener this was.

I did skip the chapter on the illuminati and how they worship. I am of the mindset that you don't need to delve into the mysteries of the devil to know they are there. Other than that, I highly recommend reading this!

This LDS author is very intriguing for all you conspiracy theorists. I myself have become one, after I awakened to my awful situation! He makes the case for the awareness/reality of Gadiantons in control of our gov't and the secret combinations running rampant in all levels of society. Some out there stuff (like the 9-11 inside job theory) but the part I found interesting was the international banks and Illuminati.

"Secret combinations lusting for power, gain, and glory are flourishing. A secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations and countries is increasing its evil influence and control over America and the entire world," President Benson stated in General Conference, october, 1988. This book tells the history of secret combinations in the last days and uncoveres their secret plans to destroy our freedoms.

The subtitle for this book is "Unmasking the Secret Combinations of the Last Days". It is an amazing book. It's about as close to a "must read" book that you can get. It is written by an LDS author. I can't begin to tell the value of this book. I'm amazed that he hasn't been killed for writing it!

Definitely and eye-opener and a great discussion book. My sister and I discussed most of this book before I read it, so I was not shocked. You need to read this book with an open mind. Too many of us are "duped" into believing everything the media tells us is true. Do not be an ostrich. Wake up and look around.

An eye-opening (or eye-popping)view of secret combinations in the last days. It seemed to be in harmony with quoted scriptures, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh. Some things seemed like a stretch. This book deserves some noodling.

Overall this is a good book. It really opens your eyes about all that is going on in our world, especially in the government. I don't agree with all of his conclusions, but it is definitely thought provoking.

Although interesting, I am not sure how accurate this book is. All of the information is plausable, but that doesn't mean it is factual. Really made me think and gave me some things to worry about, but I would recommend reading this book with caution because you can't believe everything you read.

This book would have been so much better if the author removed all the connotations to mormonism, god and satan. He also forgot to mention that religion is the biggest conspiracy scams in the history of mankind!

Lot of detail backing up the claims but still seemed to come across as unbelievable. Not that the author didn't try (I don't know him), but the scenarios seemed to be just so fantastic. Fascinating to read but hard to believe. I don't go in for conspiracy theories, but if I did...

Wow! Very thought provoking. I could go on about this one for a long long time. I'm not a big conspiracy theory person but this gave me much to think about.

Good discussion of secret combinations and how they operate in our world today. If even half of his claims are true, I don't know how we'll ever get rid of them. It'll scare the sock off you.

A conspiracy theory that not only educates you, but prepares you for what could be. Innovative, deep digging and full of surprises. Don't read on an empty stomach!

I thought it was good. If you believe there are "secret combinations", then you would like this book. I found many typos in it...try to overlook them and focus on the content. :)
