The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction

by Mark Dice

Secret societies have both fascinated and frightened people for hundreds of years. Often the infamous Illuminati is mentioned as the core of conspiracies which span the globe. The Illuminati is actually a historical secret society which had goals of revolutions and world domination dating back to the 1770s.

Since then, rumors and conspiracy theories involving the Illuminati continue to spread, sometimes finding their way into popular novels like Dan Brown's Angels & Demons and Hollywood movies like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. More recently, music videos, award shows, and sporting events are said to be somehow connected. Some men have even come forward claiming to be former members, offering details of what they allege are the inner workings of the organization.

When you sift through all of the information available on the subject, you may be surprised that the truth is stranger than fiction. In The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction, conspiracy and occult expert Mark Dice separates history from Hollywood and shows why tales of the secret society won't die.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ ½
Genre: Nonfiction

Mark Dice’s The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction presents itself as a foundational guide for readers seeking to understand the controversial and often misunderstood subject of the Illuminati. The book as the title suggests aims to differentiate between what is fact and what is fiction where Illuminati is concerned. In this book, the author expands his investigation into global conspiracies, secret societies, and the alleged hidden forces that are behind major world events. He considers this book to be a continuation of his earlier work, The Resistance Manifesto. According to Dice, his objective is to dispel myths and reveal the truth about the Illuminati's ideology, history, and current influence. He bases this on his training in communication studies and his own Christian worldview.

I found myself reading the book with a mixture of curiosity and skepticism. I believe that Dice's methodical citation of historical sources is his strongest point. He clearly tries to track claims back to their sources, which, in my opinion, lends a level of legitimacy that is frequently lacking in writings on this topic. I liked, for instance, how he brought up foundational works by John Robison and Abbe Barruel and referred back to 18th-century documents that had been confiscated from the Illuminati. These additions, in my opinion, give his argument historical evidence rather than rumors.

Dice's main assertion is that the Illuminati or its ideological offspring still work behind the scenes, influencing everything from political upheavals to economic meltdowns. Although I personally am still wary of making such broad assertions, I do see why so many people find the theory compelling, and I believe that many readers will find this idea provocative. There seems to be a growing mistrust of mainstream institutions, and this book capitalizes on that mistrust.

Where the book begins to falter, in my opinion, is in its portrayal of specific controversial figures. Dice includes the testimonies of alleged defectors like John Todd and Bill Schnoebelen—both of whom make extraordinary claims involving demons, vampires, and other fantastical elements. Although Dice provides some disclaimers, I believe that he could have gone further in his efforts to distance himself from these narratives. In my opinion, the book's more weighty, research-based arguments would be undermined if they were included without a more comprehensive comment.

I have to mention here that his examination of media manipulation and the influence of fiction on public opinion struck me as being very convincing. I can’t help but share Dice's worry that themes connected to conspiracies are frequently trivialized in entertainment, particularly when they are presented without context. In my opinion, works like Angels & Demons do contribute to a climate where the public begins to view all conspiracy claims as mere fantasy, regardless of their source or substance.

I think Dice makes an interesting case that some elites in secret groups might follow a Satanic or Luciferian way of thinking. Yes, this sounds crazy, but personally, I don’t find that idea convincing, but I do think it’s important to think about how hidden beliefs or ideologies can shape the choices made by powerful people. Even if you don’t take these claims literally, I feel they show a deeper concern about the direction world leaders might be heading—morally and spiritually.

When it comes to today’s world, Dice tries to connect the old Illuminati to modern groups like Bohemian Grove, the Bilderberg Group, and events like the 2008 financial bailouts. In my opinion, some of these links seem like guesses, but others do make you stop and think. For example, I felt the idea that financial elites support population reduction because of the Georgia Guidestones was a bit far-fetched. Still, I understand that some people might see it differently, and I respect that.

Ultimately, The Illuminati: Facts & Fiction is not an easy book to read. It is a dense, ambitious book that seeks to navigate one of the most controversial topics in modern conspiracy literature. It succeeds in offering a solid historical overview and raising important questions about secrecy, power, and influence. However, in my opinion, it sometimes stumbles when trying to juggle both credible research and highly questionable personal testimonies. For readers like me who value a mix of open-mindedness and critical thinking, this book provides much to ponder—but also requires careful discernment.

[Veronique Palmer · Rating 2 out of 5]

He spends too much time trying to discredit other sources of Illuminati information and telling us they're fake. He should rather have just focused on the facts of the Illuminati themselves. It makes me question how much of his research is disinformation when he constantly accuses other people of doing that. There is also way too much religious dogma for me. Some information contained in this book is bone-chilling for sure, but it gets hard to separate the hard facts from the waffle and religion. Some facts do tie in to other research I've done though. I'm trying one more of his books to see if it's easier to digest, but so far, I'm not a fan.

[Lanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

The title poses a question, but Mr Dice knows the answer.

Not only does he know that they are fact, but he knows which facts are true and which are disinformation, spread by those pesky Illuminati guys and their media trained puppets as they prepare the way for the Lucifarian New World Order, (less people, less religion, less hard cash).

To be fair Mr Dice gives a fair enough overview of current conspiracy theory, from Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy (1798) to the present day where the illuminati are 'hidden in plain sight' in The Simpsons.

The author is very clear that he is approaching this from a Christian perspective. However, he does not labour the point and seems to try his best to give a balanced and considered opinion.

The book is poorly structured, it rambles about through space and time, and is sometimes repetitive. But there are some thought provoking ideas in here. Mr Dice suggests that we look them up on the internet. Especially, I believe, on his own site.

[Jess the Shelf-Declared Bibliophile · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely something that everyone needs to read, no matter what country you live in. I really enjoyed reading the details behind the Illuminati and Freemasons and many details I didn't know. I agree with this author on mostly everything, though I know that may not be the most popular opinion. I will be looking up Resistance Manifesto by him as well.

My only negative comment is that I'm pretty sure this book had absolutely NO editing or proofreading. There were so many blatant misspellings that were obviously not typos (dialog instead of dialogue, etc) and even many celebrity names were misspelled, like Sean "Colmes" instead of Combs. A simple Google search could have corrected these and it did irk me throughout the book.

[Eduard Kutscher · Rating 1 out of 5]

I will be short. If you are a millionaire and you do not know for what you should spend your money, than buy this book. Otherwise keep the money. This book is a crap. It's full of fairy tales, lies, bull s%its etc. I am not saying there are no secret societies, I am just saying that this book is a rubbish with no information value at all. If you are really a millionaire, or you want to read about movies, books, song where its authors once mentioned the word "illumanati" (in various forms) go and get this book (because all you will get is just a summary of book, movies, singers etc.).

Mark Dice will kick your butt and your head will pop out of the sand. Shake it off and get ready to have your eyes opened and your mind expanded.

So much more information than writing about the Illuminati because this is just the head of the snake. Mark gives details that, for me, many were new as he writes about what’s really going on in our world.

Be prepared to make a list of other publications he cites because besides his many books to read, reading his resource books will definitely add to your education.

One thing I’d like to address is his references to the evils of Hitler and his involvement in the occult. I saw a documentary called, “Europa, The Final Battle, 2017” (You can find on Bitchute). That work presented the entire situation from a different perspective. Mark, seems to have adopted the main stream narrative and I’m just curious to know if he’s ever investigated this documentary. With all the other lies we’ve been told this documentary bears investigation.

Another area I’ve looked into is ancient civilizations and how much of the past has been hidden. I wonder if Mark has investigated any of that.

His book is a must read. As an author, he’s engaging, intelligent, knowledgeable, and his subject compelling.

[Vanessa · Rating 1 out of 5]

Don't waste your time or money on this book. Too much time is spent on him throwing out opinions, not really showing any evidence or significant events to back what he's saying. There are many grammar and spelling errors in this book which causes it to lose a lot of credibility in my mind. For example, at one point he talks about Sean "P. Diddy" Combs having a part in the Illuminati, but misspells his last name. I know the guy changes his stage name a lot, but his last name has NEVER been spelled Colmes. If you're going throw someone's name out there, you should probably check the spelling. He also mentions a band where he spells the name in the headline one way, then in the next sentence spells it another. Save your time on this one, there are other resources that are much more interesting and credible.

[Thomas Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book, it gets a little long with the examples of the Illuminati, but well researched and the explanation of the order is one of the best, very simple, black and white.

[Taif Ahmed · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is probably the worst book I have ever read. This book is probably written for a dimwitted rednecks and people who will believe any crap they see on Infowars and the Internet

[Jonathan Hockey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Full of useful information. A sober assessment of what the extent of an elite secret society of people ruling over society may be. Great for reference and as a basis for more detailed study.

[Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Before reading the book I was already familiar with the history of the organization that existed in Bavaria in 1776, founded by Adam Weishaupt, called the "Illuminati". It was discovered and outlawed in less than 10 years. In the present day, we hear the term Illuminati used to reference any group of elite members or any organization with the power to influence world events. I was curious to discover if any facts demonstrated that the Illuminati continues to exist today but after reading the book it seems that it does not. However, the philosophy and doctrines continue to be used.

I like this analogy, what if Thomas Edison never invented the light bulb? Would we all be sitting around today, reading by candlelight? No. It was a good idea and if one man didn’t invent it, another man would have eventually. Adam Weishaupt’s plans may not have been executed to completion by him but it doesn’t mean that others wouldn’t try.

When The Protocols of the Elders of Zion were "discovered" in 1905 they were used to inflame hate against the Jewish people. They have been exposed as a fraud and that the authorship was falsely attributed to Zionists, however, they do contain diabolical plans which outline a plan for world domination. It seems to me that these plans have been and are being executed. They describe the need to control the banking system, the media, and political institutions to obtain these goals. The Bank of Canada is no longer used to fund large infrastructure projects (we borrow from foreign corporations), the United States operates under the privately owned Federal Reserve, the vast majority of global media corporations are owned by a handful of men, and in the United States, they have a two-party system where both sides are owned by the same interests through legalized bribery. Consider the 2004 presidential election where both John Kerry and George W. Bush were facing off against each other for the presidency, and both are members of the ultra-elite Skull & Bones society. Both "Bonesmen" had vowed to further the agenda of the organization so it didn’t matter which party won the election, the Skull & Bones would win no matter what. It is suggested that they also have control over the media. One example is a Fox News interview on June 19, 2004. The producers probably thought it would be an interesting segment and would present Skull and Bones as nothing more than a college fraternity for the elite, but as soon as Milligan mentioned the club's involvement in narcotics trafficking, he was cut off and the segment ended. Before being cut off he managed to mention the inordinate number of members who end up in the intelligence community and the family groups that have been involved in drug running since the early 1800s. The founder of Skull and Bones was William Huntington Russell and his family business was Russell and Company, which was America’s largest opium smuggler, the third-largest in the world… HOST: "Well, unfortunately, we’re out of time…"

The book also covers MK ULTRA, Dr. Frank Olson’s suicide, and Manchurian Candidate style experiments but I hadn’t heard of Morse Allen’s experiment. His "victim" was a secretary whom he put into a deep trance and told to keep sleeping until he ordered otherwise. He then hypnotized a second secretary and programmed her to kill her friend (the first secretary). Allen left a pistol nearby, which the secretary had no way of knowing it was unloaded. Even though she had earlier expressed a fear of firearms of any kind, she picked up the gun and "shot" her sleeping friend. After Allen brought the "killer" out of her trance, she had apparent amnesia of the event, denying she would ever shoot anyone. I also recalled this experiment being referenced in the 1988 movie "Naked Gun".

The book also revealed unbelievable testimony by MK ULTRA victims in 1995. Valerie Wolf had compiled and presented information from 40 therapists from across the country whose clients had reported being subjects in radiation and mind-control experiments. The consistency of people’s stories about the purpose of the mind-control and pain-induction techniques, such as electric shock, use of hallucinogens, sensory deprivation, hypnosis, dislocation of limbs and sexual abuse, is remarkable.

The book also introduced some very good, logical and rational arguments. "Is it so hard to believe an organization of powerful men has made a pact with each other to secretly further their agendas? Is it that hard to design a self-perpetuating structure that would allow such an organization to continuously function regardless of who specifically occupies any one position at any given time? Is it that far-fetched to think that these individuals would purchase and control the mainstream media and use this powerful tool to further their goals?" And as a parallel, "One of the first reality shows ever created was called Survivor, which began airing in May of 2000. The show featured sixteen people who were put on an island and competed for one million dollars as each week a contestant was voted off the show by their fellow castaways. As the show went on, several people on the island would secretly agree to help each other out at the expense of others who were not part of their agreement. The outsiders had no idea such an agreement was made, and if and when ill will fell upon them, they didn’t suspect anything other than bad luck. But unknown to them, they were a victim of a conspiracy. A victim of the workings of a secret society within the group of contestants."

[Patrik · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is problematic. The further I got, the worse the book became.

I like looking at alternative hypotheses, histories or explanations, but they need to be properly substantiated. For every claim there has to be footnote to explain what the claim is based on. And this book doesn't do that. Just saying, "It's this way and that's the way it is" is worthless. Sniggering at other authors doesn't help either, Mark, if you want to be taken seriously.

It's ironic (and I'm using the word in it's correct meaning, not to mean what Dice *thinks* it does) that this book criticizes Dan Brown and his pulp fiction for drawing the Illuminati as fictional, when, in fact, it's probably as much damaging with it's "this is the truth and if you don't believe me, it's your problem" attitude.

A good thing is that it contains a bibliography that can lead you to other, hopefully better sources. That's why I'm adding an extra star which leads to two in total.

[Eva Asker · Rating 1 out of 5]

The author is just rambling about antichrist, satanism e.t.c and is of course a conservative christian. I can imagine him being one of Marilyn Mansons teachers looking at barcodes and see evidence in the form 666 and saying it was the devils work.

Save your money on this peace of crap if your not extremely in for a treat of conspirations from a paranoid!

[Sean · Rating 3 out of 5]

It digs through a lot of these texts so you don't have to read them and does a good job telling you what he believes is real and what is fake. The writing is really dry though and you're left with more questions than answers by the end of it. Some really creepy stuff in here though and obviously interesting just by the nature of the work

[Joe Webb · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't often write a book a 1. But this one decidedly earned it.

[Norma Jean · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Illuminati, a secret society that dates clear back to the 1770’s, has had goals for dominance of world order through their society since that time. If you’ve read any of Mark Dice's other books, it is almost like he’s collected so much information that he could write several more books along the same lines with his left-over facts.

Books, movies, news media, music and word of mouth have kept stories of Illuminati alive to the point that fact and fiction have blended together so there is no clear truth as to whether they even still exist. Is it a part of a smoke screen? Dice takes great pains to direct us to the truth of their purpose and how they move us closer to the intended end result of this and other secret societies such as Freemasons, Skull & Bones (Yale University Fraternity) members and Bohemian Grove attendees.

The key to these secret societies is to control banking through the Federal Reserve, news media (now conglomerated to basically 5 or 6 major players) and our own two-party political system with deals made behind the scenes that no matter which party wins, these groups control the puppet in the Presidential chair and other world leaders. We are bombarded on all fronts. All the while, the public trust and beliefs are eroded and changed micro-bit by micro-bit, bringing public opinion into line with what is desired by the few that hold control. Our minds begin to, over time, change what is acceptable even if not morally pure.

This, then, is your 415-page reference to provide necessary information with which to make your mind up as to the truth with history, ideology, symbolism and cultural influence that we see daily if we are aware of the depth of penetration from these groups. I did not find this book as well-referenced as his “Illuminati in Hollywood,” where most pages had at least one footnote about information, hence the three stars.

Tough book to read, but better to know what goes on behind the scenes than be blindsided by naiveté.

[Charlene Mathe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Widely perceived as a tin foil hat conspiracy theory, the Illuminati are a very real secret society with great political and economic clout in world affairs. If you don't know what to believe about them, this 415 page reference book provides an accurate and comprehensive survey of their history, influence, symbolism and cultural penetration. Author Mark Dice condenses his extensive knowledge in brief sections topic by topic, beginning with evidence of origins, philosophies, symbolisms, and historic impact. The book goes on to identify contemporary organizations and personalities linked to the Illuminati and to comment on news events with an Illuminati fingerprint. Much that is reported in the book is exceedingly Dark and hard to believe. These are well-documented facts we need to face about the Evil in our world.
The book cites many historical sources on the Illuminati, beginning with the 1789 book that opened my eyes on the subject, PROOFS OF A CONSPIRACY by the brilliant British scientist John Robison. The last chapters of the book survey contemporary books and documentaries exposing the Illuminati, and Illuminati themes woven into movie/TV scripts, fiction and music.
Published in 2009, some events in 2020 are foreshadowed in this book: 1) "V for Vendetta," released in 2006 uncovers "that elements within the government had released a plague in order to spread chaos so they could increase their power and make a fortune from selling a vaccine" (p.332); 2) In "The Long Kiss Goodnight," released in 1996, character Craig Bierko says "I have no idea how to fake killing 4,000 people, so we'll just have to do it for real. We'll blame it on the Muslims, naturally. Then I'll get my funding."(p.342); and in 2006 the HBO documentary "Hacking Democracy" showed how easy it is for voting machines to be rigged and elections to be stolen (p.295).
This book needs an index!!!! But for that I would give it five stars.

[Mike Lisanke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mark Dice has several books on the theme of secret society. This one is great... but I'll warn readers that the Author defines Illuminati as any/all secret society out to do us no good. The author defines this much better But you'll like hear reference to many (most?) conspiracy theory in this book. For me, it's a great book for bringing these theory together and giving them a group of thugs who execute the dirty deeds. There are many examples including (esp.?) 9-11 and Bohemian Grove. But you'll likely find all but the latest (which I'm certain Mark is busy updating or writing into a new book).

I find much of this book very hard to believe. I’m not saying it’s absolutely impossible… because I wouldn’t put anything past our government… but at the moment a lot of this is just too much for me to swallow. If you’re curious about this book, read it for yourself and come to your own conclusions about it.

While this is loaded with well researched info, it's very hard to just pick up and read. I would categorize this one more as a reference guide-research book.

I learned a ton in reading this, but it was a slight struggle. I found myself skimming over pages toward the end.

I have watched Mark Dice on YouTube for years, but this is the first book of his I have read. I highly recommend it for the wealth of information it provides on such secret societies as the Illuminati, Freemasons, Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, and the Bohemian Grove.

[Bryson · Rating 1 out of 5]

Kindle edition review:

Let me start by saying that this book needs to be edited. There are a lot of typos and there are entire chapters that appear in large bold face type as well as at random points in the book, which made it really hard to read at times.

Overall, I really appreciate Mark Dice and what he does to wake people up to important truths about how Satan is using organized evil to destroy the earth and its inhabitants. I also appreciate the testimony of Jesus that he bears often, therefore it is extremely sad that Mark has fallen into that pit that some Christians fall into by studying The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints from a distance by consuming lies and misconceptions that come from anti-Mormon sources (sources antagonistic to the LDS Church). Mark references a chapter on "Mormons" from the book Occult Theocrasy that is a pathetic excuse for anti-Mormon literature. Part of the information came from an old Encyclopedia Britannica that was filled with invective about Joseph Smith and his family. There were other parts that were completely inaccurate and ridiculous. Mark admits that not all Freemasons are "evil" but labels Mormonism as a Luciferian organisation partly because "Joseph Smith was a Mason" (even though Mark reports he was kicked out of their fraternity.)

Mark calls the Book of Mormon fraudulent, though it is obvious that he has never read it or prayed to the God he trusts in, to validate its authenticity. If he had, Mark would have found an amazing wealth of scriptural information that would aid him in his conclusions about secret societies, worldwide gangsterism and how Satan spreads his murderous oaths among men as well as dire warnings about where we as a nation and the world are heading. Mark foolishly attempts to describe a 14 million member worldwide religion centered on Christ as a "cult" which is just not honest. And if Mark feels that way because Latter-Day Saints deeply revere Joseph Smith, then I guess he would call the Children of Israel a Moses worshipping cult as well. Mark encourages his readers to watch an important documentary called DNA vs. The Book of Mormon..while they are at it watch the DVD DNA Evidence for Book of Mormon Geography. Mark defines Mormons as claiming that they are the only "true" Christians. While Mormons claim to be the only church on earth with the Priesthood authority and they claim to be the actual Church of Jesus Christ restored in Latter-Days, the LDS church does not promote the idea that they are the only "true" Christians. However one thing for certain is that Mark is claiming that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in NOT Christian. What an error he is making in that judgement and in excluding such a large group of people that he could be waking up to worldwide secret combinations and Constitutional responsibility.

Mark says he has an open mind and shows himself a capable researcher so it must be fear that keeps him from the truth and progressing further in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whatever the problem is, it is clear that Mark is not looking for the genuine article in a sea of counterfeits and has thrown the baby out with the bathwater. He has so badly poisoned the well that I cannot recommend this book to friends or family. The second they see the lies and inaccuracies about "Mormons" they will question what if anything he is saying is actually correct. Mark's "Resistance" movement should more aptly be called the "Resistance of Christ".

Think for yourself. Research for yourself from good and credible source material. Have an open mind and seek for "ALL" truth and fight tyranny in all its forms.

[Renny Abraham · Rating 2 out of 5]

This books gives you a lot of factual information on the Illuminati based on other sources like interviews, articles, book etc. It has a great first half introducing you to the Illuminati but gets boring and tedious in the second half. Sections on MK Ultra and accounts of people under MK Ultra were quite boring. The latter chapters seemed to be added on to just increase the length of the book.
There are a lot of spelling errors in the book and the chapters does not look it is organized well. It could be considered as a good introduction to the Illuminati but I'm sure there are better books out there.

[Recynd · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a bad overview of the different secret societies; however, the level of writing and the editing left something to be desired. IMHO, controversial books such as this one need to take particular care to back up their statements and fact check to avoid appearing amateur or schlocky. This book, while not awful by any means, doesn't quite hit the mark.

The author's foxy, though, and that always counts for something.

[Victoria Mendez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic book!! Very informative and written well. Thank you Mark for having the knowledge, courage and commitment to make this information available to the average Jane/Joe. These are scary times. Many of today's world/domestic events have a definite apocalyptic flavor. This information albeit sobering, effectively removes the veil. One must clearly see the encroaching danger if there is to be an appropriate defense. "Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear"

[Kevan · Rating 4 out of 5]

While his Biblical leanings interfere with his proper understanding of esoteric symbolism, thereby clouding his interpretations of certain doctrines, his well-researched debunking of so-called Illuminati experts makes it worth the read. It is also worth mentioning that he covers a lot of ground on a number of different aspects of the topic.
