The Illuminati 666: Book 2

by William Josiah Sutton, Roy Allen Anderson (Introduction)

Is there such a thing as The Illuminati? Does this fit into our sophisticated age? Some ridicule the very idea, but in these chapters a fascinating portrayal is uncovered. Are such words as Illuminism or The Illuminati new to you? That is not strange, for today these expressions are unknown to millions, even among many well educated people. This results from the plan to keep that giant Conspiracy under cover, to always remain secret. "The great strength of our order lies in its concealment," declared Adam Weishaupt, founder of the new order in 1776. "Let it never appear in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name and another occupation." (Quoted in Robison's Proofs of a Conspiracy, p. 195.) This world-wide cover-up has been so cleverly conducted through the centuries, even millenniums, that most folk are entirely unaware of its existence. This Conspiracy goes back to the time of Nimrod, that evil genius who began that ancient apostasy in Mesopotamia. While every Sunday School teacher knows something about the Tower of Babel, yet few realize that the principles and philosophies of that ancient movement are right now playing a tremendous role in both our political and religious life. The Illuminati 666, we bring together many startling, almost unbelievable, facts.

I’m over reading this book of this fucking idiot’s ramblings. This is unironically like that video of that girl saying that 2 + 2 = 6 because the government is hiding the extra 2 from us. Sutton gathers from Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Chinese, Indian etc mythology & compiles them all together to make them fit his narrative. Religious people like this are actually some of the most pathetic & weak people alive. To make things worse my copy of the book had obsessive annotations (in PEN…) from a previous reader.

Just a little bit of the absolute fucking nonsense that comes out of this book:

“It is not by chance that there are 36 numbered cards in a 52 card deck. One card each represents the 52 weeks with 12 face cards, four kings, four queens, four jacks, and four suits, that represent the four seasons. Why do you suppose fortunetellers use a deck of cards to predict the future? Because the deck of cards is derived from astrology! Burn them!”
(A note: ohhhh brotherrr not only is this completely ridiculous fearmongering, while yes some fortunetellers do use standard playing cards for their predictions, the average tarot deck has 78 cards. I’d love to see how Sutton could make the number 78 relate to Satanism)

“It is interesting to note that the very symbol of the proud ruler of the universe, according to heathen belief, is used as a symbol for the NBC Television Network! And CBS Television Network uses the “All-Seeing-Eye”, which was the symbol of the Sungod the Ruler of the eyes (stars) in heaven. Also, ABC Television Network uses the Sun-disk as a symbol of their organisation.”

Also: using the burnings & hangings of so-called witches in the 1500s & 1600s as evidence of the existence of those with alliances with the devil, is an argument that holds zero water. Many “witches” that were burned or hung were tortured to get confessions & quite literally had no tangible evidence against them. Sutton dedicates page after page proving Albert Pike was some sort of devil worshipper as if he wasn’t already a confederate ku klux klan racist. Is that not bad enough??

Religious people, especially those following Abrahamic religions, need to learn how to fucking respect that other people may believe differently from them. I’m not going to sit here & pretend that I even like the existence of Christianity, Judaism, or Islam, but I’m not going to go on a 286-page rant about why my beliefs are righteous & correct & anyone who believes or practices differently is a blasphemous heathen who is secretly a follower of Satan. Christians especially have way too much control over the western world to be this fucking pussy at the sheer mention of paganism. Get a fucking grip.

This book is one that everyone should read if they believe in evil.

My Dad and Grandpa have been talking about the Illuminati, the international bankers, secret combinations, and all of their plans to unite the globe in worship of Satan. This book has lots of information and cited quotations to support these claims. It is not nearly as authoritative as I had expected, and this is clear from the outset, as the exposition doesn't follow a linear path. I recommend mapping out what is said here, because you'll soon be lost in all of the names and variations of names of gods worshipped by the ancient Babylonians, their other names in other cultures, and the meanings of their names and where they're derived. Much of the time, he asserts the meanings of these gods' names and their equivalency to other ideas, religions, or gods of other cultures without bothering to cite any sources. Still, the reader can use those names and ideas to do their own research. I found the idea that devil/sun/pagan worship has been going on ever since the beginning rings true to me, and the discussion here brought insight into the bible's continual references to the efforts of the God of Abraham and his prophets to protect the Israelites from the allure of the babylonian gods and their counterparts throughout the ages. This book brought a grand scope to the war between God's and Satan's religions that has gone on since Noah (and even since Cain). The author does a good job of showing how these pagan religions transformed into Secret societies with their rich banking partners, which has transformed into a sustained effort to unite the world into a single communist government. He has interesting ideas about the history of nations and religions equates with aspects of the prophecies of beasts and other figures in the Revelations of John. There were many perspectives I had never heard before, and though it's impossible to validate for certain his interpretations, they are very interesting and have some merit. I was surprised by some of the doctrinal claims he made in the bible, such as that the sin of Adam and Eve was to seek hidden knowledge, that Christians are deceived into thinking that there is an afterlife because the bible offers zero support for that belief, and that worship of the sabbath (Saturday) is the mark of the true follower of Christ and that Sunday (named for the Sun God-Lucifer) worship is the mark of the beast- the Catholic church- who changed worship from the sabbath to Sunday. He states that many Christians are fooled into thinking Sunday worship was ordained by God because it commemorates the resurrection of Christ, and that there is no evidence that Christ or his apostles changed worship to Sunday. Well, that simply isn't true (Acts 20:7 has paul preaching to the disciples who have broken bread on the first day, 1 Cor. 16:2 may be supportive evidence of this).
The book also references several other books, making this an excellent place to start your research on the whole topic, though it's hard to say how authoritative the other books cited are. Still, an enjoyable, interesting read that offers reasonable explanations to a lot of puzzling questions about the continual wars, corrupt governments, symbolism and traditions throughout the world and throughout time.
