"NOTHING IS SECRET THAT WILL NOT BE REVEALED" (Luke 8:17)

"The man in the street does not notice the devil even when the devil is holding him by the throat." ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe How many books have you ever read in which the author printed their home phone number on the first page, allowing readers to contact them directly? Well, you'll find Mr. A. Ralph Epperson's number just inside the stark black, white, and gold cover of his excellent "Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History", THE UNSEEN HAND. I have never met Mr. Epperson, though I have spoken with him by phone on 3 or 4 occasions over the last 12 years; he is one of the nicest, most accommodating authors I've ever been in contact with, and this 1985 book is one I would strongly urge every red, white, black, brown, and yellow American who deeply cares about the Red, White, and Blue to read. THE UNSEEN HAND is the first of Mr. Epperson's publications I perused - that was about a dozen years ago. I subsequently read several more, and while they all contained valuable information, this nearly 500 page tome with the small print and comprehensive approach to the infamous "New World Order" was easily his best. (In the year 2000, I was practically forced by The Spirit to undertake an extensively detailed study of Freemasonry. This is far too complex a subject to address in this review, but that same year, I managed to persuade a high-ranking Mason to give me a personal tour of "The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge" of Phoenix, and I was granted a limited time to study that same afternoon in their library located in the Grand Lodge. Part of my mission was to confirm to my satisfaction that the quotations that Mr. Epperson used in his book "Masonry: Conspiracy Against Christianity" did indeed originate with genuine Masonic publications, and that he was not quoting out-of-context in order to twist and misrepresent their meaning. Not only did I find Mr. Epperson to be a very reliable researcher who was adhering to truth, but when I was unable to locate a particular book even in the Masonic library, he xeroxed the pages in question from his copy of it and mailed them to me at his own time and expense. A VERY nice gentleman! And for my part, I was happy to relate to him a few pieces of interesting information that I was able to gain knowledge of as a result of my guided Lodge tour by maintaining an "Aw shucks, gee-whiz, golly-gosh, I'm so impressed" attitude. It's amazing what you can learn by playing dumb. Of course, in my case, some folks swear it ain't an act.) THE UNSEEN HAND is a thoroughly researched and referenced study that briefly examines nearly every aspect of the "New World Order" conspiracy, from Forms of Government to Science, from Laetrile to The Atomic Bomb, and everything in between, such as Secret Societies, The Federal Reserve, Population Control, Income Taxes, The Civil War, and about 32 other related topics. With each chapter addressing a separate facet of the conspiracy, obviously no subject herein is given a f

Excellent new look on history

With conventional history books leaving many holes and questions as to why, this books starts here. The first 9 chapters educates you to full understand the remaining topics. This should be required reading in all history class in school to give a different perspective. This is a book I will read more then once; learning more each time.

"The Unseen Hand" by A. Ralph Epperson

I first read this book in 1985. Prior to this book, I had read a substantial number of books on this topic. What separated this book from the rest was the fact that from the beginning Mr. Epperson makes it clear that this book is written from published sources and information and documentation mostly from the secret societies them selves. He simply put them in chronological order and wrote in a way that as one reviewer put it "...you didn't have to get the dictionary out for every other word". No, this was well written and most important, at no time did he insult his readers intelligence. As I said in opening, I first read this book in 1985 (I had to contact the publisher to get a copy. I was on an order list at one of the largest retail book stores in the country. When I had called to follow up almost two weeks later, I was told that they couldn't find this book for me). Well, that made me want to read it all the more and quite frankly added another dimension of authenticity to it. I finally received it and devoured it in about 4 to 5 days. Around 2001 I decided to read it again. This time I took my time (6 mos.) and also started to verify things (none of which could be refuted). I also started to highlight certain paragraphs. Well, by time I got through the 488 odd pages this time, I realized that I had practically highlighted the whole book! I realized that I needed to purchase a few more copies to share with others. Rather than going through the hassles I did the first time, I just picked up the phone and dialed the direct number in the book. The phone rang and when answered, I found myself talking to Professor Epperson. He answered the phone himself. If I had any question of this mans integrity at all, they totally diminished after our 30-45 minute chat. He is a very gracious and humble man. A rare commodity today. I encourage all who may have any doubt or are uncertain of any aspect to call and ask to speak to him. This is what he told me to tell a coworker I had loaned a copy to. I'm sure, I `ll read it a few more times in my life.

This information was not in my high school history books

The Unseen Hand is my fourth conspiracy book to have read. The first, The Leipzeig Connection by Palo Lionni was a well written and detailed look at when, who and why German psychology was imported, cleverly inserted into the existing education system and came to be what we now know as the American Public Education system. The second book was, None Dare Call it Conspiracy written by Gary Allen. In this book the author follows the money and exactly who those people are that really pull the political and socio-economic strings on this planet. Mr. Allen also spends quite a bit of time closely examining the membership and agenda of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). The third book, The Gods of Eden, by William Bramley begins, surprisingly enough, in the Garden of Eden and comes forward from there. Mr. Bramely presents a convincing and plausible point of view supported by a preponderance of references regarding off-world influences in the persistent condition of chaos on planet earth. All four of these books are, in my opinion, well worth the read but it is The Unseen Hand out of the four that I would first recommend to anyone expressing even an inkling of interest or curiosity in what has been going on behind the scenes on the political and social fronts of the world. The author gives a general and concise overview, including numerous specifics of historical events and figures, from the 1700's up into 1985 when the book was published. Ralph Epperson is an author who is quite adept at arranging his information, which includes many recorded quotes from numerous historical figures, some of which who are commonly known and others that I knew nothing of, into a reader friendly format. Part of what makes the book reader friendly is the use of a vocabulary that isn't constantly driving the reader to the dictionary to translate what is being communicated. If you have ever looked up a map for a specific location on the Internet you would be familiar with how the map appears on your screen. When the map comes up you are looking at the location of the address requested from a certain viewpoint of distance and you can change this viewpoint with a graduated zoom-in zoom-out tool bar. Well, reading The Unseen Hand is very much like looking at one of these Internet maps. You begin this journey through history zoomed in at close range with the author giving you an orientation to his point of view. He is also smart enough to take the time in the first seven chapters to include a refresher course of sorts on the definitions, philosophy and applied philosophy of the various forms of government and basic economic systems with ample examples to ensure duplication between reader and author. I not only appreciated this approach from the author but found it to be very helpful. I also discovered that I had misunderstood concepts on more than a few of these terms and these misunderstandings would have most certainly inhibited my understandin

The best, most consice synopsis of history I have ever read!

This was the first book of it's sort I had the pleasure to read. It definitely got me steaming mad, and I thought to myself, how could any of this be true? However, after cross-referencing the statements with the documented evidence provided, I have gained a new understanding of history, political events, who really pulls the strings, and why. This book will definitely challege every thought and belief that you ever had about what really makes this world tick. It will teach you what really happens (Conspiracy), where it happens (behind closed doors), who makes it happen (International Bankers and Global Elitists), and why it happens the way it does (complete control and greed). If you just know deep down in your heart that something is wrong, but can't for the life of you put a finger on it, this is the book for you. The Unseen Hand will show you the greater framework of the "hidden world" around us and how events in the news correspond completely and perfectly to those events. Just as the old quote says, "When the student is ready, the teacher will come". This book is definitely the teacher you have been waiting for. I challenge you to read the book with an open mind and research the evidence before formulating your opinion. For if you do, I guarantee you will never look at things the same way again. Someone once challenged me to read this book and I am forever in debt to him for freeing my mind. Make sure you challenge others to do the same.
