Synopsis

Who were the Illuminati and who are they now? Take Robert Howell s severe wake up call if you value your liberty and privacy and join the battle to protect counterculture before it is too late. Governments, dictators and religious leaders have clung to power via force or manipulation throughout history. But secret societies have grown, working in the shadows for the emancipation of humanity.
The Illuminati formed in 1776 among European Freemasons and academics with the intent of liberating humanity from physical, mental and spiritual bondage. Despite a brief incarnation, their ideologies clashed with the established political and religious elite and they perfectly encapsulated the ethos of counterculture ideas possibly more relevant today than ever.
The term Illuminati has since become usurped by the idea of a New World Order, but their principles live on through counterculture and the connected communities of the internet age. Hacktivists and cultural movements like Anonymous and Wikileaks wage war against corrupt corporations and government agencies oppressing and exploiting society.
But knowledge and then action can bring the tyranny of this elite system down. Embark upon this journey of counterculture and discover the blisteringly revolutionary nature of the Illuminati.

About this title

Review

"Surely one of the most fascinating - and important books - we've read in a while, The Illuminati traces the story of secret societies down the ages: from the titular Illuminati to Wikileaks and Anonymous today. Such marginalized groups have always rebelled against the establishment; some by spreading progressive ideas through art and literature, others by driving revolution and exposing government secrets. Robert Howells creates a dizzying narrative that will change the way you think about the world." -from reviewer Gregory Daines --Gregory Daines

About the Author

Rob Howells has spent the last twenty years investigating the mysteries of Rennes-le-Chateau, the Priory of Sion and the history of conspiracy theories. During this time he has built up an extensive knowledge and experience of secret societies, symbolism and esoteric thought. As a manager for five years of Watkins Books in London, one of the oldest esoteric bookshops in Europe, he extended his research into transpersonal psychology, sacred geometry, Gnosticism and alchemy. He also came into contact with a number of secret societies during this time including the Priory of Sion, the Freemasons, the Order of Lazarus, various neo-Templar orders plus Sufis and other religious groups. His first book, Inside the Priory of Sion was released in 2011 and his second book, The Last Pope, was released in June 2013.
