The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy
How would you feel if you found out that your life is not your own? What if you found out that all of the products you buy, the decisions you make, and the topics you see on the news were all being controlled by an ancient order whose only goal in existence is to control and enslave the masses?

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people out there who seem to have gotten the wrong message. In the book, The Rise of the Fourth Reich:
The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America, Marrs reveals the devastating truth that the United States could be closely following in the Third Reich’s footsteps. In his book, Marrs talks about the families and corporations that are running the world and how their absurd belief in this destructive ideology is consuming the people of the United States.
