User Reviews

The best documentary made on occultism, Freemasonry and ancient symbols

It is a great documentary about the real truth about the foundation of the United States and especially on the building of Washington D.C.

Certainly the subject is complex and controversial, considering that the main stream media and politicians do not want that these coded messages went revealed to the public. The previous review was certainly made by a Freemasons or by a person who belongs to the interest groups that are being exposed in the documentary. Otherwise we can not understand the rage and cynicism that the reviewer used to describe the film.

It is true that the documentary was made from a specific point of view made by Christians. However, even if we are not in favor of their cosmogony and fundamentalic interpretations of the world, the evidence about; Babylonian gods, Egyptian symbols, Greek mythology, Freemasonry and occultism, is irrefutable and carved in stones all along Washington D.C.

None can deny the writings of many of the main characters mentioned along the documentary like; Albert Pike, Johann W. Von Goethe, Manly P. Hall, Nicolas Roerich, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Richard Nixon, Benjamin Creme or even George Bush Senior. Which by themselves, have revealed the real meaning and interpretation that Freemasons and other secret societies give to those ancient symbols.

It is clear that Freemasonry core inner doctrine has won due to the spread of democracy which delivered justice and human rights to most countries around the world. Hence the exposure of their beliefs should not be a threat to them if they really teach such laudable values. Otherwise, it means that their real intentions are darker or susceptible of suspicion in a higher degree than the one that they would like to be appraised.

As Francis Bacon (one of the most mentioned philosophers around the trilogy of documentaries of Secret Mysteries of America's Beginnings) once said:

"The man who fears no truths has nothing to fear from lies". Francis Bacon

It is strongly recommended to see the documentary and create a judgment about the content, the creators, and the intentions in which the film was made, on your own. Do not let anyone to influence your criteria. The more access we have to information either if they are critics, lies or truths, makes us reflect on the world we live in and give us the tools to evolve as better persons.
