Freemasons: The Hidden History of Freemasonry in the Last 100 Years
Summary
Freemasons have in many ways shaped the world as we know it today. Discover the hidden history of the secret society of Freemasonry in the last 100 years and the conspiracy theories that followed. In their three centuries of official existence, Freemasons have been routinely praised and despised, regularly cheered and derided. Some believe that they are a fraternal organization that promotes leadership and good character, while others are convinced that they are a secretive cabal hell-bent on world domination. Mason-backed organizations such as the Shriners are praised for their charitable giving, while other lodges are held in contempt for their secretiveness. When it comes to stark dichotomies such as this, the argument to moderation would indicate that the truth lies somewhere in between. Well, fallacious as that argument is, Freemasonry would still be a riveting tale even if it did fall neatly between both sides of the equation! In this book we will explore the last 100 years of Freemasonry, as well as the larger implications of Masonic influences and practices. We will also discuss Masonry’s latest trends and probable future trajectory. So, if you don’t know already - listen to this book to learn the full story of what really goes on in that quiet, nondescript little lodge on the corner!

The Freemasons: The Mysterious Roots of Freemasonry
Summary
The Freemasons, history's most mysterious secret society! A worldwide conspiracy, a shadowy cabal, a secret sect, or just a misunderstood organization? Who really are the Freemasons? Let's find out! Who really rules the world? According to some people, a shadowy cabal of hidden men rule over the world governments from behind the scenes. These invisible puppets masters are tied into conspiracy theories across the world, taking in everything from the assassination of John F. Kennedy to the attack on New York on September 11th, 2001. Typically, if you trace these conspiracies back far enough, you will come across one name. The Freemasons. But who exactly are the Freemasons? Believe in the conspiracies and you might well assume that they are responsible for every major geopolitical decision and event that takes pace. But to others, they are simply a sort of gentlemen's club, a social group that does a lot of good work in the community. In this book, we take a different approach. Where did the Freemasons come from? Here, we will examine the links between the Freemasons and another of history's most famous organizations, the Knights Templar. Could the Templars have laid the foundations of the Freemasons? Did they set up the secret society to extract revenge for their demise? Did they inspire an English rebellion simply to destroy their enemies? Over the course of many centuries, we will try to find the evidence that demonstrates the links between these two organizations. Simply because they are so very secret, people are liable to project their beliefs onto the hidden group. But, in this book, we will try and focus on the facts. Sometimes, these facts can be far more shocking than the theories.

The Hidden History of the Knights Templar
Summary
Full of incredible turns of events including secrets, deceits, lies and betrayals, the history of the Knights Templar from their triumphant conquests to their abrupt fall still fascinates. Find out the hidden history of the Knights Templar that really led to their demise. The Knights Templar existed officially for less than 200 years. Founded to protect pilgrims who were travelling through the Holy Lands, their rise to power was sudden. They became some of the most feared warriors in the region, they had a mandate from God, they controlled perhaps the world's first real banking system, and they waged war against anyone who tried to wrestle Christianity and seize holy grounds from the control of the Catholic Church. Within their short lifespan, they quickly became one of the most powerful societies in Europe, if not the world. But, just as they rose to power with relative speed, they fell from grace just as fast. Forged in the crucible of Middle Eastern conflict, their power was soon resented and feared. Before they could become even more powerful, the greatest nations in Europe and the Church turned on them. The once powerful Templars were hunted, caught, tortured, and eventually burned at the stake. According to their prosecutors, they were a devil-worshipping secret society who spat on the cross and plotted against the Pope. They were officially disbanded and their members treated with extreme contempt and prejudice. Or so goes the official story. In this book, we will not only look into the official history of the Knights Templar, but will examine the various ways their influence and ideas have tunneled their way into the modern world. A group this powerful does not vanish overnight. Instead, their history has been linked to the Freemasons, to vicious curses, to the butchery of the Crusades, and even to Christian relics such as the Holy Grail. For many people, the Templars did not vanish and they did not relinquish their tight grip on the power....

Area 51
Summary
Area 51, a strange place where reality and conspiracy meet! Let’s discern the facts from the fiction! Area 51 is such a strange place. Perhaps that's the understatement of the century, but I just can't help but say it. It's strange on multiple levels. Area 51 seems to stand shoulder to shoulder in myth and legend with other mysterious locales such as Atlantis, Shangri-La, El Dorado, Neverland, and Oz - yet Area 51 itself is no myth. It's all too real. It used to be the world’s most top-secret military installation, but now it’s arguably the most infamous. Long before the government finally admitted to its existence in 2013, Area 51 one has been the stuff of dreams and legend. There were long rumors of a veritable military citadel housing all kinds of exotic hardware, which was located somewhere in the wasteland of the Nevada Dessert. And strange sightings of the seemingly otherworldly craft were frequent. Then in 1989, an alleged whistleblower - a supposed insider - came forward to tell the world that Area 51 was real. His name was Bob Lazar. This man claimed to have directly worked with propulsion systems that the military had in its possession that were not of this Earth. Although widely ridiculed, and derided - even by standard-bearers of the UFO community - 30 some years later, Bob has maintained his story. Now since new revelations from the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) have surfaced, detailing how the US military has spent decades studying UFOs, some of Lazar’s controversial claims have been seemingly verified. The so-called “Tic-Tac” UFO videotaped by the wing-mounted infrared camera of a F/A Super Hornet jet fighter, as been officially authenticated by the Pentagon. This craft seems to use gravity as a form of propulsion as it rotates, tilts, and takes off at mind-blowing speed. After the alleged former Area 51 physicist Bob Lazar himself was shown the video, his immediate reaction was one of recognition. He believes that these craft maneuver and operate just like the ones he saw at Area 51. We’ve been dreaming of a mysterious place called Area 51 for a long time, have some of those dreams finally become reality?

History's Most Mysterious Secret Societies
Summary
Mysterious and almost invisible, these secret societies changed the course of history! Secret societies have always fascinated us; we want to know why they exist, what they do, and who their members and leaders are. Find out why the secret societies described in this book are worth knowing about. For as long as humans have gathered together to form societies, there has been a subset of people who have formed secret groups. Away from the prying eyes of the main group, these people have formed societies, unions, guilds, leagues, and other organizations with a wide variety of purposes. While some people gather together to drink beer in private and reminisce about the past, other groups have deeper, more complicated, and more nefarious purposes. On occasions such as these, the secret societies become instantly more fascinating. For whatever reason, these groups cannot exist in the public eye. Whether this is because they are breaking the law, because they are operating in a clandestine fashion, or because they fear retribution from other secret societies, they are often the only ones who know. At the time, their ability to remain secret often means the difference between life and death. Now, many years later, we can look back on these secret groups and try to learn exactly what they represented. In this book, we will look into murder, assassinations, political coups, and events that had huge impacts on the history of the world. Behind some of the most tragic events in human history, these secret societies have operated in the shadows. Their influence has been felt in every corner of the world. Secrecy is not endemic to one country or one continent. Instead, all humans have a small part of themselves that craves the secrecy afforded to these groups. But only some of us manage to bond together to form societies such as these. That's why they are remembered as the most mysterious secret societies in the world.

The Knights Templar: Grand Masters
Summary
Discover the leaders of the Knights Templar, the fiercest warriors of the Church during the Crusades, from beginning to end. The Knights Templar is one of history’s greatest mysteries. They began as a completely transparent, public apparatus of European Christendom in the Middle Ages but eventually transformed into what many would regard as a secret society. Leading the Knights throughout these changes were their Grand Masters. These men were military as well as spiritual masters who led by their own example. Their dedication was shown by their steadfast refusal to surrender or retreat from battle, and several of them paid for that dedication with their lives or freedom. This audiobook follows all of these colossal figures from the Templars’ founder Hugues de Payens all the way to their final ill-fated Grand Master, Jacques de Molay. Here you will find innumerable accounts of epic battles as well as all the intrigue and political wrangling that came along with the Crusades. This audiobook follows the rise and fall of the Crusader Kingdom of the High Middle Ages as seen through the eyes of the ultimate caretaker of the Holy Land - the Templar Grand Masters. During their tenure, most served with great distinction and nobility, but a few revealed motives not entirely becoming of their chivalrous order.
