Secret History

Nick Redfern

Description

A guide to the hidden mysteries and secrets of the world from an established author and expert on conspiracies, the unexplained, and the paranormal!

History is written by the winners—and the powerful—but how much of it is fiction? And who is really in control today? From the dawn of civilization to the 21st century, from ancient aliens to the New World Order, Secret History: Conspiracies from Ancient Aliens to the New World Order examines, explores, and uncovers the hidden, overlooked, and buried history of civilization.

The book moves from biblical, Egyptian, Mayan, Greek, and early mysteries of antiquity to the clandestine doings of the Nazis and the Masons and assassination plots of the more recent past to the surveillance, monitoring, mind-control, and secret schemes of today. Researcher Nick Redfern investigates the stories, mythologies, lore behind incredible events and clandestine groups of yesterday and today. More than 60 entries dig deep into the manipulation of events by influential groups, including …

• Historical riddles—revealing, alien visitations, space gods, human–alien crossbreeding, and more.

• Government cover ups—exposing, mind control, murders, scientists' research, secret agents' agendas, and more.

• Powerful groups and intended consequences—illuminating, 9-11, new world order, bird-flu, chemtrails, and more.

Tracing the chilling and lasting effects of conspiracies, cabals, and plots, Secret History: Conspiracies from Ancient Aliens to the New World Order exposes their deep reach in shaping today's world! Truly an eye-opening read!

I NTRODUCTION
T he title of this book, as you will already have observed, is Secret History . It is a title that begs a number of important questions: What, precisely, is history? How does it impact us, both as individuals and as the collective human race? What can we learn from studying our history, both recent and ancient? Can historical events be manipulated in ways that we can scarcely begin to imagine? With those questions in mind, let s take a look at a few choice, wise words from a variety of noted individuals.
Julian Barnes, the author of the best-selling The Sense of an Ending , said: History is that certainty produced at the point where the imperfections of memory meet the inadequacies of documentation.
In his classic novel Ulysses , James Joyce wrote: History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.
Aldous Huxley remarked: That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.
George Orwell warned us: The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.
If you don t know history, then you don t know anything. You are a leaf that doesn t know it is part of a tree, wrote Michael Crichton of Jurassic Park fame.
History will be kind to me for I intend to write it, bragged British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
All of the above words, in their own, unique fashion, are important ones to remember and ponder. They are also words that are central to the themes of this book: (a) the ways by which certain, significant portions of history have been lost; (b) the ease with which entire swathes of our history have been erased; (c) the reasons why history has been suppressed and hidden and by whom; and (d) the secret, near-maniacal satisfaction on the part of powerful figures who have created deceptive histories that so many accept while barely asking a single question.
In the pages that follow you will come to appreciate-although, you will most certainly not approve of-the means by which history has been mauled, manipulated, and buried for reasons that are disturbing, mysterious, sinister, outrageous, unforgivable, and downright deadly.
You will understand how, even going back to the very dawn of civilization, humankind has been a slave to those who wish to present history as they wish it presented, rather than how it actually was and is. It s a situation that, even after thousands of years of manipulation, shows no signs of stopping.
