much to take in, I think it is information overload on crack, but I is has good information, This is a really good book, I would give it five except it scared the crap out of me and didn't offer any suggestions as to how to fight the ongoing nazification of the US.
There is plenty of reference material cited and Mr, Marrs gives names, dates and associations that make my skin crawl,
This is a dark, negative look at the last hundred years or so that has led to the fascist society we insist on calling a democracy.
It's still safe to say that after Andrew Jackson eliminated the federal debt and saved us
from the Federal Reserve was the last time we were truly a free nation.
When the international bankers chained us to their Federal Reserve banking system was the beginning of the end, The assassination of JFK was when fascism took control,
"Nazis in America" you say, "Impossible, We hate Nazis in America, "
But the people with all the money love the way the Nazis take control and get things done.
They are here and their ideas, methods, and intentions have been transferred to our institutions,
This book stands in stark contrast to the last book I read and reviewed here: "Looking Forward" by Jacque Fresco.
Jacque has the most likely solution to our Fourth Reich,
Viva, Resourcebased Economy!
I don't mind the fact that Marrs spends most of his time synthesizing other people's ideas and reporting their research findings boiling down complex arguments and masses of arcane data into a lively and accessible form is a worthwhile undertaking.
His fundamental premise, that a global financial elite which despises democracy and the rights of citizens is running our society must be selfevident to any critical thinker who follows the news.
The rest is a grab bag, I found myself veering from "He's nuts", to "Well, maybe, . . " to "Damn right!" "Damn right" would include the postwar restoration of many Nazis to positions of power and influence, and to the striking parallels between the methods of modern "conservative" parties and those of the Fascists.
I'm not too impressed by the reviewers who jeer at the book: "Ha ha, look at the funny conspiracy theorist.
" My guess is that a certain amount of what Marrs says is nonsense I know that a great deal of what the mainstream media says is also nonsense.
The difference is that Marrs is stumbling around in the dark with the rest of us, trying to figure out just what's going on in a bewildering world, and he will inevitably blunder, while the mainstream media is in the business of misleading the public to safeguard corporate profits.
Need to do some jeering Jeer at the powerful, destructive liars, not at wellmeaning duffers like Marrs, A highly engrossing and entertaining text, If anything, it provides great creative writing inspiration, I think any American frustrated with the decisions the Federal Government and Presidents have made should read this, This, The Trillion Dollar Conspiracy and Marr's Rule by Secrecy answer your questions and solve the mystery,
While I may not always understand or agree with everything Marrs says the majority of the information is useful to enlighten the public/civilians to the corruption of the United States government and political system, monetary system and it's vitally important everyone becomes aware just how ruthless these power mongers are.
Now, with the advance of electronics and nanotechnology, biological warfare tech and mass survailance of the public exploiting the "Patriot Act" and other laws, violating the Constitution in the name of "National Security", Americans are losing more and more of their privacy and rights.
No matter how you look at this book it is eyeopening, fascinating and just plain insane, You can view it as fact or conspiracy theory, It is reinforced by history and fact and with plenty of sources for your own research purposes, but it does sometimes veer into the realm of the fantastic.
That said, I think Jim Marrs hit it out of the park with this one,
Marrs has connected the dots which, in all honesty, aren't that hard to connect to show that the Nazis really never went away.
Yes, after WWII they scattered to the wind, but where did they go Well, primarily to America and Russia, While here in America they did some wonderful things like help us get to the moon a wellknown fact, Why did they do such things That is where you get to make the call,
Most people who have read this book will, at the very least, say it caused them to think.
I'm not a conspiracy buff, though I find them fascinating, This book, I believe, shows a conspiracy that may actually be true or at least have some grain of truth behind it.
I chose this book due to these words: Throw out everything you think you know about history, Close the approved textbooks, turn off the corporate mass media, and whatever you do, don't believe anything you hear from the governmentThe Rise of the Fourth Reich reveals the truth about American power.
" I was not dissapointed!
This book clearly explains that 'the U, S. helped defeat Germany in WWII, but it did not defeat the Nazi's, " Dubious war criminal activity was expunged for thousands of high ranking Nazi scientist when they were brought to the United States for their knowledge.
Once on American soil, they could cooberate with Nazi sympathizers who had already attempted to overthrow FRD to bring about fascism in the U.
S. and were found to have financially supported the Nazi's during the war although money talks and they were never convicted.
Thecharacteristics of a fascist regime are:Powerful amp continuing expressions of nationalismdisdain for the importance of human rightsidentification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying causesupremacy of the military amp avid militarismrampant sexismcontrolled mass mediaobsession with natinal securityreligion and ruling elite are tied togetherpower of corporations are protectedpower of labor suppressed or eliminateddisdain amp suppression of intellectuals amp the artsobsession with crime amp punishmentrampant cronyism amp corruptionfraudulant elections.
If you cannot see the U, S. in the above list, you have already fallen for the propaganda and are on your way to loose every freedom you thought you had.
Quite a lot of fascinating information the last quarter of the book kind of fell apart, This book is an account of how the Rockefellers and British Elite helped Hitler in his ascension,
But the show still goes on according to Jim Marrs,
Some Chapters repeat the same issues over and over again, that makes the book sometimes hard to read and boring.
But in general the book is interesting, and provides a lot of good information for further studies in the subject.
I AM DYING OF LOLS, This book is so awful it passes back into "good" though your mileage may vary, of course, This is the mother of all terrible conspiracy theory books, combining many smaller conspiracies into one enormous Nazidriven plot, as though all the Nazis of history managed to party down with the evil fictional Nazis that hunted Indiana Jones, Captain America, and the Basterds, and those vampire Nazi legions of Hellsing infamy.

Totally had ties to Nazis, . . and so did/does Hillary Clinton, Jerry Falwell, and Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Etc.
Etc.
Etc.
I SWEAR TO FREAKING JESUS I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP, The author even finds ties between the organic food movement and Paul Wellstone's plane crash and the freaking Nazis, He blamed so much shit on the Nazis I can't even remember it all, . . but it basically boiled down to everything, Everything is because of/tied to/developed by/funded by the Nazis, My answer for everything from now until I stop finding it hilarious which will be, . . um, never is going to be, "Nazis, "
The books swings between points that might be able to be taken seriously such as discussing both the Vatican's and various American corporations' investments in Nazi Germany, which is a valid point mentioned in many other, much more serious and wellresearched books to claiming outrageously wild and just plain kooky things like that the Nazis found King Solomon's treasure, developed antigravity tech in thes, and are currently making tons of money off of the tobacco industry despite the fact that Nazis were according to the author very antitobacco.
You could drive rockets through the logical holes littering this book and it's stupid claims, And I seriously cannot believe that so many Goodreads readers take this shit seriously, My faith in humanity has taken a crippling blow,
Logical No. Based in reality Not really,
Impractically awesome and hilarious as a Wile E, Coyote skit Fuck yeah! Read it for the LULZ, kids, .
