or wallets, some to arrogate power to themselves, some just to be sneaky. Many of them try their best to indulge in conspiracies, some to advance the cause of their members' well-being. Yes, Virginia, there really are secret societies. But a lot of what I'm seeing here looks more like vendettas than reviews. Everyone is entitled to their opinions it's a privilege to have this forum in which we can all say our piece. He doesn't think the Federal Reserve is a criminal conspiracy.

He doesn't believe there is a secret New World Order or that 9/11 was an inside job. Not everyone will agree with them some might even be offended by them. What he says is that he "exercised extreme caution in the use of online resources." And then he explains why: "Thanks to the ubiquity of cheap and easy-to-use desktop publishing programs.most Web pages look superficially professional, whether they are produced by an extravagantly capitalized online subsidiary of a national magazine or by borderline psychotic highschool kids in their parents' ad Web sites, long-debunked rumors, and garbled quotations abide on the Net forever.While open sources like Wikipedia are veritable fonts of specialized knowledge, contributors with agendas can easily censor, twist, enhance, and otherwise distort its articles." He also added, "The Internet invites anyone who wishes to inflame, libel, and incite, or simply to say really uncivil things to their intellectual adversaries, to do just that pseudonymously, without any fear of the consequences." No one's anonymous here, but there's a lot of incivility! A lot of the material in this book is controversial and Goldwag doesn't always soft pedal his opinions. Several reviewers claim that Goldwag "confessed" that the book was sourced entirely or mostly from the Internet. No, Goldwag didn't provide a scholarly apparatus, but he cites hundreds of books and periodicals throughout the text. The articles are extensively cross-referenced too. It includes something like 800 items, along with the page numbers that they appear on. I wish its publisher had provided an index too, but it does have a List of Topics that runs from page xi to page xxviii-17 pages in all. Most of them make a point of mentioning that the book isn't indexed. It's their prerogative, but it's ridiculous how many of them are quoting each other's posts instead of the book itself. That's exactly what I want from a book of this sort.Ī lot of reviewers feel the need to trash this book. For me, there's something intruiging and thought-provoking on every page. A few of the reviews here are evidence of that. That's bound to push the buttons of some folks who hold certain notions as articles of faith. Goldwag clearly is writing from the perspective of an interested rationalist. Sources are cited frequently throughout the text for anyone interested in delving more deeply into a particular area. It also makes it easy to zero in on items that might hold particular interest, and to find your way back to them later.

It allows Goldwag to tell the full story of each topic he addresses, whether it stretches over tens or hundreds of years. However, I'm hard pressed to come up with a better structure. Some might quibble at the alphabetical organization within each of the book's three sections I found it a bit odd at first. The wealth of information in these pages and the new details that Goldwag has unearthed on even familiar topics make this book a valuable resource here in 2009. Others have sprung into being during the half century that's elapsed since then. I've known about many of these cults, conspiracy theories and societies since I was a kid. It's an entertaning, thoughtfully written compendium of the major groups, people, and ideas that have attempted to explain and/or manipulate this complex, mysterious, fascinating world we live in.
