As the British prepared for war in Afghanistan in 1839, rumors
spread of a Muslim conspiracy based in India's Deccan region.
Colonial officials were convinced that itinerant preachers of jihad
- whom they labelled 'Wahhabis' - were collaborating with Russian
and Persian armies, and inspiring Muslim princes to revolt.
Officials detained and interrogated Muslim travelers, conducted
weapons inspections at princely forts, surveyed mosques, and
ultimately annexed territories of the accused. Using untapped
archival materials, Chandra Mallampalli describes how local
intrigues, often having little to do with 'religion', manufactured
belief in a global conspiracy against British rule. By skillfully
narrating stories of the alleged conspirators, he shows how fears
of the dreaded 'Wahhabi' sometimes prompted colonial authorities to
act upon thin evidence, while also inspiring Muslim plots against
princes not of their liking. At stake were not only questions about
Muslim loyalty, but also the very ideals of a liberal empire.
On 10 May 1941, Rudolf Hess - Deputy Fuhrer of the Third Reich -
embarked on his astonishing flight from Augsburg to Scotland. At
dusk the same day, he parachuted on to a Scottish moor and was
taken into custody. His arrival provoked widespread curiosity and
speculation, which has continued to this day. Why did Hess fly to
Scotland? Had Hitler authorized him to attempt to negotiate peace?
Was British Intelligence involved? What was his state of mind at
the time? Drawing on a variety of reliable archive and eyewitness
sources in Britain, Germany and the USA, authors Roy Conyers Nesbit
and Georges van Acker have written what must be the most objective
assessment of the Hess' story yet to be published. Their compelling
narrative not only dispels many of the extraordinary conspiracy
theories, but also uncovers some intriguing new facts.
Through a series of specific questions that cut to the core of
conspiracism as a global social and cultural phenomenon this book
deconstructs the logic and rhetoric of conspiracy theories and
analyses the broader social and psychological factors that
contribute to their persistence in modern society.
Many Americans believe that their own government is guilty of
shocking crimes. Government agents shot the president. They faked
the moon landing. They stood by and allowed the murders of 2,400
servicemen in Hawaii. Although paranoia has been a feature of the
American scene since the birth of the Republic, in Real Enemies
Kathryn Olmsted shows that it was only in the twentieth century
that strange and unlikely conspiracy theories became central to
American politics. In particular, she posits World War I as a
critical turning point and shows that as the federal bureaucracy
expanded, Americans grew more fearful of the government itself-the
military, the intelligence community, and even the President.
Analyzing the wide-spread suspicions surrounding such events as
Pearl Harbor, the JFK assassination, Watergate, and 9/11, Olmsted
sheds light on why so many Americans believe that their government
conspires against them, why more people believe these theories over
time, and how real conspiracies-such as the infamous Northwoods
plan-have fueled our paranoia about the governments we ourselves
elect.

not reveal his true identity) offers some chilling advice. . .
"Don't believe everything your told. Question all media. Remain
skeptical of your leaders. Do not take unneeded risk on behalf of
your 'superiors.' Be cautious and remain vigilant . . . There are
forces all around us who would like to do us in . . . They are
invisible. . . They are silent . . . They are cunning and they have
regard for you or your wellbeing despite what they might tell you .
. . We live in a great country -- but there are utterly cruel
beings at the center of our destruction who wish us to be slaves to
their sinister thoughts and deeds. They want us to be part of their
nefarious undertakings -- to take responsibility for that over
which we have no control." And ditto from the secret group that

VectorsBackCover French philosopher Rene Guenon (1886-1951), who
spent many years searching for a true esoteric Way, crossed paths
with many false and subversive spiritualities before arriving at
the threshold of Islamic Sufism. In his prophetic masterpiece The
Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times he classed the worst
of these spiritualities as examples of the Counter-Initiation.
Anti-Tradition-secularism and materialism-opposes religion;
Counter-Tradition inverts it; and the esoteric essence of
Counter-Tradition is the Counter-Initiation. The author expands on
this concept, recognizing the action of the Counter-Initiation in
such areas as the politicizing of the interfaith movement, the
anti-human tendencies in the environmental movement, the growing
interest in magic and sorcery, the involvement of the intelligence
communities in the fields of UFO investigation and psychedelic
research, the history of Templarism and Freemasonry, and the
de-Islamicization of the famous Sufi poet, Jalaluddin Rumi. Vectors
of the Counter-Initiation is conceived of as a sequel to The System
of Antichrist: Truth and Falsehood in Postmodernism and the New Age
Sophia Perennis, 2001]. The Counter-Initiation has six main
features: syncretism; inverted hierarchy; deviated esoterism; the
granting of the temporal transmission of spiritual lore precedence
over the vertical descent of Revelation; the reduction of religion
to utilitarianism (magic) and esoterism to a purely technical
knowledge (Promethean spirituality); and the mis-application of the
norms of the individual spiritual Path to the supposed spiritual
evolution of the collective. The Counter-Initiation is the ego's
idea of spirituality. It appears in the Old Testament as the
Serpent in the garden, Cain's murder of Abel, the "sons of God who
looked upon the daughters of men and found them fair," the Tower of
Babel, the degeneration of Sodom, and the magicians of Pharaoh whom
Moses defeated. In the New Testament it is personified by Judas,
and in the Qur'an by the figure of as-Samiri, who forged the Golden
Calf, and the angels Harut and Marut-testers of man by God's
design-who taught magic to the human race in Babylon. For both
traditions, it is destined to culminate in Antichrist. This book
brings together two schools of thought: the Traditionalists or
Perennialists (writers on comparative religion and traditional
metaphysics) and the conspiracy theorists who are investigating the
origin, nature, and plans of the New World Order. The NWO
researchers can throw a penetrating light on the social and
political dangers presently threatening the Perennialists, while
the Perennialists can provide these researchers with a deeper and
wider spiritual context for their vision of human evil. In Guenon's
time the Counter-Initiation appeared in terms of this or that
secret society operating in the shadowy underworld of European
occultism; it has now come up into the open, and moved inexorably
toward the centers of global power. In the words of American
Eastern Orthodox priest Seraphim Rose, "in our time Satan has
walked naked into human history."
BANNED IN 22 COUNTRIES . . . THE AUTHOR CLAIMS TO BE A POLITICAL
PRISONER FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS PARTLY DUE TO THE PUBLICATION OF HIS
CENSORED BOOK. Conspiracy Journal Presents The New Expanded Edition
Of A Book That Has Caused Considerable Controversy Since It was
Originally Published In The 1970s. This edition is not endorsed by:
The Publisher Or Any Known UFOlogist, Conspiracy Buff, or the
"Space Brothers." The author of this book and his friends say they
started to delve into the UFO mystery and what they discovered is
truly amazing. They circulated their finds over the years to an
ever-increasing number of contacts. Whenever more reports of UFO
crews speaking Germany and behaving like German soldiers or of
sightings and documentation showing a UFO landing gear imprint in a
clear swastika shape reached the authors, they took a closer look.
There now appeared a distinguishable pattern, in proper time and
date sequence, they hinted at a possible connection between the
appearance of UFOs in large numbers and Hitler's possible survival
and escape from Berlin. All publishers that were approached turned
down the controversial nature of this manuscript. Only through the
efforts of a dedicated group of individuals has this manuscript
finally been published for all the world to see. Against threats
and persecution, this incredible book details previously
unpublished engineering drawings and illustrations of prototypes of
the Secret Nazi Ships first invented toward the end of WWII. FIND
OUT THE MIND-BLOWING SECRETS SURROUNDING THE GREATEST MYSTERY THAT
MANKIND HAS EVER FACED...THE TRUTH ABOUT UFOS
Since 1954, a discrete and select group of wealthy and powerful
individuals have attended a private, yearly conference to discuss
matters of their choosing. This group represents European and North
American elites, as well as new talent and rising stars, from the
worlds of politics, business, media, academia, the military and
even royalty, and has included household names such as Margaret
Thatcher, Henry Kissinger and even Prince Philip. In recent years
their number have featured David Cameron, Tony Blair, Angela
Merkel, Bill Clinton and David Rockefeller. These are 'the
Bilderbergers', named after the hotel where their secret gatherings
were first hosted. What is their purpose, why do they meet, and
what do they want? Investigative writer Gerhard Wisnewski explores
the numerous claims of conspiracy that swirl around the group,
revealing names of participants, their agendas and their goals. The
scene opens in the sun-kissed seaside resort of Vouliagmeni,
Greece, where Wisnewski attempts to observe and report on a
Bilderberg conference. He soon attracts aggressive attention from
police and undercover security, and it is made abundantly clear he
is not welcome. From this rude introduction, Wisnewski works
backwards to the founding of the Bilderbergers in 1954 by a shadowy
Jesuit with secret service allegiances. Examining records and
hidden reports, Wisnewski uncovers the true history of the
organization, the alliances among key individuals and their common
interests. Are the Bilderbergers puppet-masters, pulling strings
behind the scenes? Are plans afoot to create a global government
and a new political system? To what extent do they represent a
clandestine super-government? This book offers a unique view into
the workings of power, and the secret methods of those who seek to
govern and control behind the scenes.
Was the Apollo 11 Moon landing faked? Many people argue that in the
1960s the United States lacked both the ability and technology
required to put a man on the Moon. At the height of the Cold War
and with Kennedy's promise to put a man on the Moon before the end
of the decade many have questioned the official story. Was the Moon
landing one of the greatest ever hoaxes or did NASA really put two
men down on the moon in 1969? This detailed book examines the
evidence, the photographs and the people to find out the truth.
What really happened and did the Eagle ever really land?
For the first time the inside story of Russia's marketing of their
space program to the West is chronicled by one who was there. The
colourful tales are told, warts and all. How the door to Russia's
long hidden space pro-gram was opened during the era of Soviet
perestroika, the political struggle on the signing of the first
contract between the Russians and NASA, the push to change space
station Freedom into a co-operative venture, the willingness of the
Russians to use free markets against the wishes of NASA and how the
Russian space station Mir became a commercial platform, are all
told in a relaxed and engaging style by the author, who is the only
American ever to work within the Russian space program. The book
chronicles the author's 14 year journey to use Russian assets to
strengthen the American space program. Included is the
behind-the-scenes of signing Dennis Tito, working with
entertainment icons like James Cameron and Mark Burnett and the
electrifying ride that was MirCorp. The book discusses the boycott
organised by NASA to prevent MirCorp's success and the drama behind
the world's only commercial manned expedition that sent two men to
the Mirspace station for over two months, with no government
funding. It is a tale of strong characters. Readers are given a
front-row seat on the decade-long clash between the Russian chief
Yuri Semenov and NASA's Dan Goldin, a paradoxical battle that saw
the Russians embracing American open markets and NASA clinging to
the Cold War model for space exploration.
