			INTRODUCTION
 
 The Occult Script—A Colossal and Monstrous Conspiracy
 
				
					
					But let the Spirit of all lies with works of dazzling magic blind 
			you. Then absolutely mine, I'll have and bind you. The Devil, Faust Play by Goethe (1749-1832)
 
			
			They're everywhere. Cleverly disguised. On TV, imbedded in 
			magazines, and lurking in powerful advertising. Sometimes they're 
			subtle or subliminal, other times direct, provocative, and 
			mind-bending in effect. 
 Strange symbols, signs, charms, talismans, and handshakes that 
			program and control our minds.
 
 Henry Makow, astute inventor and essayist, says that they are key 
			components of the satanic conspiracy that now confronts us with 
			maximum force and evil.
 
				
				"This satanic conspiracy," Makow warns, 
			"succeeds only because people cannot believe something so colossal 
			and monstrous actually exists."1  
			The world is a contest for our souls. The people who are pushing 
			products, violence, and sex are not operating on a random, 'whatever 
			sells' basis. They have Masonic symbols in their logos. The top 
			players are following an occult script designed to enslave us body 
			and soul. They are building a gigantic prison based on their own 
			mental hell. This is the New World Order; we are the inmates.2 
				   
			
			It is, in fact, "satanic indoctrination," Makow emphasizes, and we 
			are all locked into the prison classroom as this mental poison from 
			hell is piped in to us 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 
 
 A Psychological Matrix
 
 In this eye-opening book, , you will discover just how 
			accurate and true are the warnings of Mr. Makow and just a few 
			others. Most people, of course, are so far gone, their minds so 
			awash with occultism acquired from decades of propaganda encountered 
			on every side, they cannot any longer decipher reality. The majority 
			are caught in some form of Psychological Matrix. Tragically, 
			hundreds of millions of people have, in a manner of speaking, become 
			"Manchurian Candidates."
 
			  
			
			They eat, breathe, move, and sleep as if in 
			a trance. Immobile, unable to react, afflicted with amnesia, they 
			are like Pontius Pilate who, when confronted with Jesus Christ 
			standing right in front of him, the very essence of unmovable Truth, 
			asked Christ the question. "What is truth?" 
 Well, here, in , in over 600 incredible pages, is truth. 
			Here you will see pictures of many of the foremost movers and 
			shakers of human history, ancient and modern, as they secretly 
			communicate through sign and symbol. Naturally, the elite do not 
			relish being exposed in their dirty works and evil doing. They and 
			their dumbed-down minions —I am referring to the overwhelming "see 
			no evil, hear no evil" masses of people in society—can be expected 
			to quickly jump to the attack and attempt to deny it all. Through 
			sleight-of-hand, they will do their utmost to divert your attention.
 
				
				"The pictures are taken out of context," they will protest. "The 
			images are not what they seem." 
 "Here, listen to us," they will implore, "it's not what it looks 
			like. Let us explain it all to you."
 
			
			"Don't be hasty now in your judgment," they'll cry. "You and I know 
			that conspiracies don't really exist. Everything is okay, nothing is 
			amiss. It is all just an accident, nothing to fret about." 
 
			
			"Are You Going to Believe Your Lying Eyes?"
 
			
			Their weak and idiotic protestations remind us of the famous TV 
			comedian, Groucho Marx. Groucho enjoyed retelling the story of the 
			time a startled wife came home to find her adulterous husband in bed 
			with another woman. "It's not what you think," he assured her. "Are 
			you going to believe what I tell you, or are you going to believe 
			your lying eyes?"
 
 Thank God we no longer have to believe what they, the Illuminati, 
			and their lying accomplices in the media and government tell us. We 
			can lay their propaganda aside and view the actual evidence through 
			the prism of truth with our own eyes. This book is the result of 
			over two decades of research. I believe it speaks for itself. The 
			pictures, illustrations, and proofs contained in these pages do, in 
			my opinion, document a monstrous conspiracy that surrounds and 
			envelops us.
 
 It may well be that some, a few, of the photographs, are not what 
			they appear to be. We all know that it is possible, for example, 
			that photographers took shots of certain people as their hands, 
			fingers, arms, and bodies were inadvertently in odd positions. A 
			picture may be worth a thousand words, as the old Chinese proverb 
			says, but even pictures can be deceiving.
 
 And so, I leave it all up to you to decide, dear reader. Do these 
			proofs provide 
			evidence of these peoples' involvement in nefarious, Masonic, 
			occultic, or magical activity or not? You be the judge.
 
 To help you make a decision, often included in the captions that 
			accompany the photos and illustrations is commentary that helps one 
			to better analyze the situation or scene that is pictured. When 
			possible, I present evidence and information outlining the 
			individual's membership in the Masonic Lodge, the Rosicrucian Order, 
			or other globalist or occultic groups, secret societies, and 
			organizations. This is done as an aid to your independent 
			decision-making.
 
 Sometimes, I admit, it is difficult from the picture alone to 
			ascertain whether a person, or persons, are displaying a Masonic or 
			other sign, or to tell for sure that an occultic pose or scene is 
			being portrayed. Again, the author does his best to offer up 
			evidence, such as pages, excerpts, and descriptions of such signs 
			and poses from official textbooks, dictionaries, and encyclopedias 
			of the Masonic Order or illustrations and examples by experts and 
			authorities.
 
 In some instances, it is unclear what exactly is transpiring in a 
			photo because the intent, or motive, of the individual subject 
			cannot be discerned. We cannot read peoples' minds, and so we must 
			judge based on the photographic evidence. For example, there is much 
			confusion today over the hand sign of the devil called "El Diablo" 
			or "Il Carnuto." Many confuse this sign of evil with the sign of the 
			deaf for "I love you" and with the sign given by many to indicate 
			youthful rebellion, sex, and rock and roll.
 
 In the section of  that pictures a number of people 
			giving this problematic sign, I therefore explain the difference in 
			types of hand signs and discuss the ongoing controversy in an 
			attempt to clear up some of the confusion. Readers may just find the 
			clarifying information presented here revealing, to say the least.
 
 All in all you will view in  over 1,000 photos and 
			illustrations documenting Illuminists, Satanists, and other elitists 
			practicing magic. Even if the skeptics and naysayers were able to 
			explain away a few of these proofs, the remainder would be 
			sufficient aplenty to prove the thesis of this book. That, indeed, a 
			massive conspiratorial network of occult magicians exists today and 
			has existed throughout human history.
 
 From the perspective of the occult researcher and investigator, the 
			key to understanding the precarious world we live in is the 
			recognition that a consistent pattern exists. A criminal is often 
			convicted by an overwhelming preponderance of circumstantial 
			evidence, even when no direct evidence — like a smoking gun—is 
			produced. But in our case, in , we do produce a 
			convincing array of direct evidence, along with many facts that 
			connect the dots, to conclusively prove the continuing existence of 
			an occult conspiracy. Over 600 pages of photographic evidence and 
			materials cannot all be wrong.
 
 
			
			Exercising Fairness and Good Judgment
 
 I wish to emphasize that I accuse no one pictured herein of being a 
			Satanist or occultist. Their being pictured here does not mean that 
			individuals are necessarily members of the Order of the Illuminati 
			or prove anything whatsoever about their social, political, 
			religious ideology or other beliefs. Nor am I implying, suggesting,
 
 or stating that the men and women pictured are knowingly involved in 
			any type of plot, satanic or otherwise.
 
 My friends are fully aware that over the years, I have authored and 
			produced numerous books, audiotapes, and videos on the subject of 
			mysterious marks, symbols, signs, and logos, including such 
			bestseller classics as Dark Secrets of the New Age, Mystery Mark of 
			the New Age, and Circle of Intrigue. As such, the reader should 
			realize that the information in my books and other works is based 
			solely on my own opinion. True, I do my level best to judge things 
			accurately and to marshall relevant facts and data that might bear; 
			but ultimately, the reader or viewer must decide if he or she 
			concurs with the author's judgments and opinions. As the cliché of 
			a well-known TV news network so often echoes, "We report, you 
			decide."
 
 Those who have read and evaluated my past works know that I am 
			always concerned and desirous of presenting accurate information. I 
			invite anyone who believes the facts and analysis, or even the 
			opinions expressed herein are incorrect or incomplete to promptly 
			inform me of such. I am more than willing to make corrections or 
			retractions based on the best evidence.
 
 
			
			Deciphering A Mountain of Data
 
			
			One of the problems inherent in an undertaking so vast as this book 
			is that the subject matter is so broad and complex. There are 
			literally thousands of secret signs, grips, and symbols to consider 
			in evaluating photographic evidence. My opponents—the men of the 
			secret societies and the Illuminists—would agree that this is the 
			case. In the Royal Arch Mason, an official publication of 
			Freemasonry, Dr. William L. Cummings commented on how many hundreds 
			of rites, rituals, and degrees existed.3
 
 Obviously, in each of the hundreds of ceremonies a number of secret 
			handshakes and signs are taught and practiced. Thus, Cummings 
			remarks, Masons themselves are in a state of confusion:
 
				
				It generally comes as a surprise and sometimes as a shock when the 
			Mason who has 
			never given any attention to the subject learns at least a hundred 
			Masonic and 
			quasi-Masonic rites and systems have existed and no less than eight 
			hundred so-called Masonic degrees have been revised.4  
			
			Royal Arch Mason editor Ray V. Denshaw wryly comments that a 
			long-time Mason of reputation may be asked,  
				
				"How many of the 
			hundreds of degrees have you received? Have you received the Rite of 
			Memphis of 90 degrees? Or the Rectified Rite? Or the Swedenborgian 
			Rite?"5  
			
			Moreover, Masons affiliated with the Grand Lodge of the Orient in 
			Paris, the United Lodge in London, or the Grand Masonic Lodge of 
			Israel, may well utilize signs and handshakes not used, seen, or 
			understood in other orders. 
 Then, of course, there is:
 
				
					
				 
			....and a 
			thousand or more other secret societies and orders, not to mention 
			the many Jewish cabalistic groups, satanic churches, and witchcraft 
			and druid sects. 
 
			
			Knowledge of Secret Signs Opens Doors
 
			
			British Satanist 
			Aleister Crowley, a man who fancied himself the 
			"wickedest man on the planet," was Grand Master of the Ordo Templi 
			Orientis (O.T.O.) and also founded the mysterious and Luciferian, 
			Order of Astrum Argentinium. He once ruefully and knowingly 
			intimated that after he had independently learned and practiced how 
			to do the secret handshakes of a number of other secret societies 
			and orders throughout Europe, he traveled around from city to city 
			and discovered that by knowing how to convey the appropriate 
			handshake, he was invited into what is normally the guarded inner 
			sanctum of almost all the groups. They were persuaded simply by his 
			handshake that Crowley was eligible to attend their conclaves and be 
			made privy to their most closely guarded secrets.
 
 The average Mason or member of other secret orders knows little of 
			the signs and symbols of his own order, let alone that of others. In 
			my work for this book, I have communicated with a number of 
			ex-Masons, but few were able to identify any but the most 
			rudimentary of signs and symbols. I did far better with Masonic 
			encyclopedias and with modern and ancient magical texts and guides.
 
 
			
			I Give Credit to...
 
			
			 In addition to the individuals listed in the acknowledgements of the

			Hands On Membership Not Required
 
 Illuminati paid provocateurs and other would-be critics might 
			suggest that because you and I are not Masons or Illuminists, my 
			research in —or your own independent research—has no 
			authority.
 
			  
			
			In answer, I am happy to respond by noting that: 
				
					
					
					the best 
			of homicide detectives have never been murdered nor participated in 
			such
					
					few lifeguards have had an incident in which they were 
			drowning and required assistance
					
					most lawyers have never been sued
					
					most psychiatrists have never been admitted as a patient to a mental 
			institution
					
					most neurosurgeons have never had brain surgery
					
					most 
			sports writers have never played pro-football or pro-baseball yet 
			they report and comment on the same
					
					most prison wardens have never 
			themselves been locked up as convicts
					
					no historians have lived 
			in the past centuries of history about which they amass information 
			and facts and comment about 
			
			It doesn't take a monster to know that human monsters exist or a 
			serial killer to know that murdering innocent people involves savage 
			and evil acts. And there is abundant evidence that exists about the 
			Illuminati and secret societies so that we do not have to join and 
			participate in these repugnant groups to know what they are all 
			about.  proves that. 
 
			
			A Challenge to Critics
 
 I hereby challenge any and all Masons and other members of secret 
			societies to meet me on neutral ground with neutral observers in a 
			contest, a duel of wits, if you will, to see who knows more about 
			the subject matter presented in this book. Until such time as the 
			critic accepts my challenge and is willing to publicly display that 
			he knows as much or more about secret handshakes and grips, symbols, 
			marks, logos and other occultic matters, I suggest that the critic 
			shrink back to the shadowy confines of his Masonic Temple, 
			synagogue, or shrine and refrain from empty, futile criticism.
 
 As for those skeptics and naysayers who get their kicks by 
			pretending to know — just know! —that these things cannot be true, 
			that "conspiracies" just do not exist and who maintain that anyone 
			who even dares to mention the existence of any group called the 
			"Illuminati" just has to be wrong, may I humbly recommend that they 
			earnestly burn the midnight oil, carefully read this book, and 
			examine the evidence in a fair-minded and objective manner?
 
			  
			
			Many a 
			friend has written telling the author that he likewise was once a 
			doubter and skeptic, until, that is, he had heard and considered all 
			the evidence. In this regard, the Holy Scriptures have a tremendous 
			bit of advice worthy of consideration:  
				
				He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and 
			shame unto him.  
				-Proverbs 18:13
