Product Description
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 proteges, 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"!

A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma September 2, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma Conspiracies everywhere! Jim Marrs' The Rise of the Fourth Reich is a compendium of the fascinating, weird, strange, and outright bizarre facts concerning the esoteric world of conspiracies. Mr. Marrs touches all the conspiracy bases from the Kennedy assassination, the Jesus mysteries, the occult, UFOs, secret WW2 weapons and science, secret societies, to escaped Nazis who formed the basis of today's American space program, business and finance . Using National Socialism and the cult of Nazism as his reference point, Mr. Marrs pretty well covers every modern day conspiracy and history mystery. It is truly amazing how much conspiratorial information Mr. Marrs was able to jam into 376 pages. Whether you believe all, some, or any of this stuff doesn't really matter as this is simply a fun and interesting read. Think of it as the ultimate conspiracy encyclopedia and then sit back and have some reading fun. It is interesting to note how many of these conspiracies have found their way into today's contemporary novels. If nothing else reading Mr. Marrs work will give you a better understanding of many of the provocative books of today. And yes, he even touches on Mr. Brown's The Da Vinci Code mystery.
A book everyone with a enquiring and astute mind should read. September 1, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Rise Of the Fourth Reich. This book sets out in detail (dates,names,places) the history of the rise of the Globalists (Illumunati) power during the last several centuries, particularly since the end of WW11. The information in this book corraborates with that of other investigative writers, such as David Icke, which in my view lends credence to Jim Marrs writings. John A. Carlstrom
Fascinating and Informative August 24, 2008 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book clearly and convincingly presents a case for Nazi influences in everyday American life.
Another great book from Jim Marrs August 19, 2008 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
I am glad to see another great book authored by Jim Marrs. This book is well researched, as are all of his previous books. If you liked his earlier works, then you will like this. Don't pay attention to the negative reviews on here. None of them address any of the actual material in the book. Starchild22's review is ridiculous. He obviously is not familiar with Jim Marrs' books. Marrs provides an extensive list of sources for each chapter. You can check up on his work if you so wish.
Disingenuous info or ingenious disinfo? August 15, 2008 8 out of 13 found this review helpful
Jim Marrs has made a fine career out of repackaging the "revelations" of Milton William Cooper's 1991 conspiracy classic "Behold a Pale Horse."
In "Fourth Reich," much of the alien agenda-UFO storyline found in "Pale Horse" and later in several of Mr Marrs' books is reprised in the context of the Nazis (who were plenty spooky enough without dragging in extraterrestrials).
Mr Marrs, like many another conspiracy author, conflates hearsay evidence and speculation, salted with historical fact ("Operation Paperclip" for example) to advance the thesis that an elite group of wealthy and powerful internationalists is working toward a brave new world of global enslavement. Their plot necessarily requires the destruction of America.
In order to sell this idea, one must ascribe near-superhuman powers and ironclad discipline to the evil plotters. It doesn't hurt, either, to claim that the plotters have access to supernatural mental states, alien technology, and, what the hell, near omniscience.
But you don't need a conspiracy to explain this stuff. Hey, Jim, ever heard of Adam Smith's "invisible hand?" People are greedy for power, for control, for genetic hegemony. The result is "history": chaotic when viewed up close, not centrally planned, yet oddly serendipitous and somehow patterned.
Sure, the Nazis and/or their ideological heirs are with us today. We know that for the Nazi leadership, losing the combat phase of the struggle was a setback but not the end. They had a plan. Martin Bormann, and possibly Heinrich Himmler, both escaped, with plenty of money, technical expertise, and an underground organization intact. We know that industrialists in America, Britain and elsewhere favored National Socialism (it was neither truly socialist nor entirely nationalist) before the war --- and after --- because it harnessed the power of the state to further their commercial goals. After the war, these industrialists used Nazi scientists and spies in the fight against communism. The marriage or remarriage of these groups led ultimately to a silent coup against the US government by the so-called neoconservatives (again, they are neither new nor conservative).
Unfortunately, Mr Marrs' digressions into UFOs and the rest undermines, for the conventional reader, his credibility. And that is a pity, because the danger to American democracy is very real.
