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 government--The Rise of the Fourth Reich reveals the truth about American power. In this explosive new book, the legendary Jim Marrs, author of the underground bestseller Rule by Secrecy , reveals the frighteningly real possibility that today the United States is becoming the Fourth Reich, the continuation of an ideology thought to have been vanquished more than a half century ago.
This concept may seem absurd to those who cannot see past the rose-colored spin, hype, and disinformation poured out daily by the media conglomerates--most of which are owned by the very same families and corporations who supported the Nazis before World War II. But as Marrs precisely explains, National Socialism never died, but rather its hideous philosophy is alive and active in modern America. Unfortunately, most people cannot understand the shadowy links between fascism and corporate power, the military, and our elected leaders.
While the United States helped defeat the Germans in World War II, we failed to defeat the Nazis. At the end of the war, ranking Nazis, along with their young and fanatical protégés, used the loot of Europe to create corporate front companies in many countries, including the United States of America. Utilizing their stolen wealth, men with Nazi backgrounds and mentalities wormed their way into corporate America, slowly buying up and consolidating companies into giant multinational conglomerates. Many thousands of other Nazis came to the United States under classified programs such as Project Paperclip. They brought with them miraculous weapon technology that helped win the space race but they also brought their insidious Nazi philosophy within our borders. This ideology based on the authoritarian premise that the end justifies the means--including unprovoked wars of aggression and curtailment of individual liberties--has gained an iron hold in the "land of the free and the home of the brave."
For the first time Jim Marrs has gathered compelling evidence that an effort has been underway for the past sixty years to bring a form of National Socialism to modern America, creating in essence a modern empire--or "Fourth Reich"!

Excellence in research:
This book is excellently written and obviously painstakingly researched. Connections between events, and people of history are well documented and the interconnections cannot be dismissed. I would definitely advise people to read this book if you want to wake up to the true reality in which you live, but please do further research into these areas through other sources- although this would be a great starting point I think it misses other huge connections and not everything can be connected back to the... more info
holy smokes!:
i've had the pleasure of meeting jim on 3 different occasions, and must admit he is not only scholarly, but a heck of a nice guy. i've always thought that "ruled by secrecy" was the one must read book to have. now, i've changed my mind and this one is a "must read." this book is thoroughly researched and very sobering. the only thing we've been taught about nazi germany was the war and holocaust. there is so much more that was going on in terms of technology, medicine and politics. how he compares germany... more info Conspiracies Smorgsboard:
Jim Marrs' books are always fun to read, and this book is no different, due to the paradigm shift if requires to review past concepts and ideas of history. This is another of his great books involving conspiracies everywhere. Almost every conspiracy ever heard is included and interwoven into a fascinating tapestry of thinking and alterative history -- it is a virtual smorgsboard of conspiracies. If any part of his writing beyond the initial facts is true then everything we have been taught as history is... more info The cliche rings true.:
I've often read a review stating, "This should be a must read", but for the first time, I agree. If this were a democracy it would be required reading but then, if this were a democracy it would never have had to be written. Similar Products:
