Brownie, I don't know how you've got away with mentioning the NWO, a couple of hours ago, without someone stepping in and calling you a conspiracy theorist. It's quite funny.

Yes, there are many secret societies around the world, but the thing is they are all working together and have been for almost 500 years, but they are not interested in the welfare of the common man.

I'd recommend 'Pawns in the Game' (which we all are) by William Guy Carr. Written in the 50s, Carr gives a very detailed history on the foundations of the NWO going back to the English and French Revolution. He shows how the banksters/bankensteins, through the House of Rothschild, gained their wealth and grew in power with an aim to ultimately control all governments.
