After a decade of running this blog, I have encountered most of the leading figures and concepts in the realms of conspiracy theories, occultism and the UFO phenomenon. When I found this short book that seeks to organise all of these elements into a cohesive narrative, I started reading it immediately.
Illuminet Press – 1999
The alien abduction phenomena may well be a psyop perpetrated against the citizens of the world by a secret society that maintains control of many major government institutions. They are doing this as part of an occult ritual to maintain their control. They may possibly be doing so with the aid of actual extraterrestrials. It is also possible that the extraterrestrials that they are dealing with are actually demons. The Illuminati have had so much disinformation spread about this stuff that it’s basically impossible to know what is real and what isn’t. (Disney’s The Lion King is actually a movie about the coming Messiah.)
This book was ridiculous nonsense. I mean, that seems pretty obvious, and anyone expecting anything else from a book with this title would have to be buffoon. I didn’t expect to walk away convinced of anything when I started this, but I had hoped to be more entertained.
Jim Keith tries to synthesize ideas from the writings of Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant, Michael A. Hoffman II, Philip K. Dick, Robert K.G. Temple, the Holy Blood, Holy Grail guys and James Shelby Downard. The above authors are legitimately some of the loopiest nut jobs around, and while it’s fun to try to see similarities and connections in their work, the resulting narrative is so ridiculous that it’s barely worth reading. The freemasons killed JFK with mind-controlled assassins as a sacrifice to their Satanic alien accomplices. Parts of the proof of this idea are the ramblings of a science fiction author who was going through a nervous breakdown and the religious beliefs of a remote tribe in Africa.
This is the third book by Jim Keith that I’ve read in the last few months. He also compiled The Gemstone File and Secret and Suppressed, but he actually wrote Saucers of the Illuminati by himself. I get the impression that it’s the most out there of all of his books. There was some interesting ideas in here, and it gave me the names of a few other weird texts to find, but there’s too much going on in here for it to be even remotely convincing. I reckon I’ll give Keith’s other books a look at some point in the future.
This is a book of texts that the government and the mainstream media didn’t want you to see! I use the past tense there because the stuff in here is very dated. It’s a Feral House compilation job, similar in style to Apocalypse Culture. I’ve had copies of the Apocalypse Culture books for years, but I’ve never read through either from start to finish because I don’t want to read the paedo-stuff. (Both books contain essays from real creeps.) I only read Secret and Suppressed because it contains “Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science of Symbolism”, an extended version of James Shelby Downard’s Kill King 33° essay which was originally published in the first edition of Apocalypse Culture. The second edition of Apocalypse Culture replaced Kill King 33° with “The Call to Chaos: From Adam to Atom by Way of the Jornada del Muerto”, another piece by Downard. The second volume of Apocalypse Culture contains an entirely separate essay by Downard called “America, The Possessed Corpse”.
While “Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science of Symbolism” is a longer version of the “Kill King 33°” essay in Apocalypse Culture, it’s actually not quite as long as the document titled “Kill King 33°: Masonic Symbolism in the Assassination of John F. Kennedy”. This document was co-written by our old pal Michael A. Hoffman II. This contains a few more details than the version in Secret and Suppressed. These extra details deal with stuff from Downard’s autobiography.
Honestly, all versions of this essay are truly ridiculous nonsense. The main idea is that JFK was assassinated by the Freemasons. The proof for this lies in the spellings of certain words and how they might be translated, some numerological nonsense, and some not-so-coincidental coincidences. Apparently the three tramps, the ones photographed in the park after JFK was killed, represent 3 of the characters in Waiting for Godot, Samuel Beckett’s 1949 absurdist play. Godot, the character who never shows up in that play, is obviously JFK. This play was written 14 years before Kennedy’s assassination. I assume Samuel Beckett was a member of the Illuminati to have this kind of foreknowledge. Later on, Downard points out that the guy who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, JFK’s alleged assassin, was named Jack Ruby. RUBY! Ruby slippers! Ruby slippers send you home. Jack Ruby sent Lee Harvey Oswald home! This has been there the whole time, and we didn’t notice it! WAKE UP!!!
Honestly, I was planning on doing a more in depth post on the writing’s of James Shelby Downard, but this has been enough. He was either a very insane person or a CIA psyop to make conspiracists look crazy.
Here’s a recap of the other pieces in Secret and Suppressed:
An Open Letter to the Swedish Prime Minster From a Survivor of Electromagnetic Terror
Robert Naeslund
This dude believed he was a victim of a mind control experiment. Boring.
Remote Mind Control Technology
Anna Keeler
Unreadable technical writing about mind control technology. Barely skimmed this one. Probably all true, but I’m not really interested.
Is Paranoia A Form of Awareness?
Kerry W. Thornley
The dude who knew Lee Harvey Oswald and created Discordianim reflects on conspiracy theories.
Sorcery, Sex, Assassination and the Science of Symbolism
James Shelby Downard
Discussed above.
Subliminal Images in Oliver Stone’s JFK
Dean Grace
A list of what the title describes. I haven’t seen that movie in years. I didn’t rewatch to check the list. Maybe I will when I am old and have more free time.
Terminator III
Associated Press
Newspaper articles about racist games that were available in the early 1990s. It’s surprising how naive people were about the insidious ways we would come to use technology.
The Masonic Ripper
Jim Keith
Jack the Ripper was a freemason. I came across this idea in Alan Moore’s From Hell. I assume it’s originally from another book.
The Erotic Freemasonry of Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf
Tim O’Neill
There once was a mason named Nick, He liked others to play with his…
Rumors, Myths and Urban Legends Surrounding the Death of Jim Morrison
Thomas Lyttle
I thought Jim Morrison was cool when I was 15. I become less interested in him as each year passes.
The Last Testament of Rev. Jim Jones
Jim Jones
This is a transcription of the Jonestown Death Tape. I had heard this recording before, but not since becoming a parent. I was able to read this, but I couldn’t listen to the recording of the babies screaming while their parents murdered them. Too much.
The Black Hole of Guyana
John Judge
This essay posits that the People’s Temple commune was a CIA experiment. I reckon it’s easier for some people to believe that a faceless government organisation would be capable of committing such an atrocity than any one specific person. Jim Jones was a real cunt.
Behold, A Pale Horse A Draft of Danny Casolaro’s Octopus Manuscript Proposal
Kenn Thomas
I am planning on reading Thomas’s book about the Octopus and Danny Casolaro soon.
Why Waco?
Ken Fawcett
The Waco tragedy was deliberate. Duh.
An Invitation to War
Ambassador April Glaspie & Saddam Hussein
American diplomat encouraging Saddam to start a war.
Inside the Irish Republican Army
Scott Smith
Scott Smith interviews an Irish freedom fighter. Brits out.
Recipes for Nonsurvival: The Anarchist Cookbook
Esperanze Godot
The Anarchist Cookbook is designed to kill the Anarchists who try to make its recipes. I remember getting a pdf of the anarchist’s cookbook when I was a kid. It was very disappointing. Never tried anything from it.
Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars
This is the document that somebody left in a photocopier than William Milton Cooper published in his Behold a Pale Horse
Secrets from the Vatican Library
This is a very long, boring document that claims that the bad jews kill children and drink their blood. There are good jews too, but it’s never discussed how to tell them apart.
AIDS: Act of God or the Pentagon?
When I was a kid, I was told that AIDS started when a man shagged a monkey. This story claims otherwise. I am not convinved.
“Clinton is the best guy for us”
Some American guy working for a pro-Israel organisation boasts about his political power.
Exposing the Nazi International
A neo nazi describes his relationship with Otto Skorzeny, a Nazi soldier who faked his own death. Boring and probably all bullshit.
Secret and Suppressed was a fairly interesting read. A lot of really fucked up things have happened since it was published though, and the paranoia that this book attempts to induce is widespread at this point. I think a lot of the claims made in this book are inaccurate, but I believe that things are just as bad as it makes them out to be.
