Product Description
Fresh from the success of her book Secrets & Mysteries of the World, Sylvia Browne now writes about the clandestine world of secret societies. Sylvia’s research, combined with her amazing communication with her spirit guide Francine, has uncovered the fact that many secret societies affect the lives of each of us every day . . . whether it be in the areas of religion, politics, economy, government, crime, or other worldwide influences. She shares her knowledge of the conspiracies, coverups, long-held secrets, misinformation, and power manipulations of secret societies in both the past and present and how they can affect us today and in the future.
From the mysterious secrets of the Knights Templar to the powerful secret societies of the modern age, Sylvia takes us on an amazing journey to explore and unearth the truth. She discusses the amazing influence of the Freemasons on our Founding Fathers, the influence of religion on earth-shaking secrets and terrorism, the agenda of powerful secret societies for a “New World Order,” and much more.
Sylvia explores it all, and even gives us information on a powerful secret society that no one has even heard about. So lock your windows and doors and read about these societies and their secrets . . . some will really raise the hair on your neck!

It's a brand-new season, so what does that tell you? Sylvia's back with a slew of her "books." Do you actually think she pens 250+++ page ORIGINAL books EVERY four weeks? The woman can barely string two cohesive sentences together! Louise Hay's "Hay House" (Sylvia's idiotic publisher,) is only too happy to slap her name and mug on another one of their recycled concoctions because they know that the masses will run out in droves; only to hear how Sylvia has retrogressed further to the pits of blatant stupidity! To borrow the words of Mr. Bill Cosby, "COME ON PEOPLE." As far as I'm concerned, this cheat is nothing more than a useless, wanna-be clairvoyant.
"What amazes me more than anything is that this animal is allowed not only to continue raping her victims, but that she is allowed to walk the streets and sleep peacefully at night," said by one of Sylvia's thousands of unhappy clients, in an article detailed on the informative Stop Sylvia Browne site. How in the world can Sylvia Crooked Browne keep "writing" these ludicrous books and cook up lie after lie after lie? Doesn't this woman have a conscience? Doesn't she see all the hurt that she has caused? Doesn't she care about anything besides The All Mighty Buck? Of course, I am being facetious. Because, anyone with a modicum of compassion knows that these are all rhetorical questions; we all know that the answer is a very loud and resounding NO!
But really, this is not just about her books. Just about everything this woman does is dishonest and illegal. From the lies she tells to her unsuspecting clients to claiming that she is tax-exempt so she can screw Uncle Sam! Oh yeah, she also claims she's a "church" and a "corporation." I do not know what is more dangerous; this woman's complete and total nerve or her blatant dementia! Perhaps it's a tossup!
How can the Feds let her get away with this? I have absolutely no idea. Better question, why hasn't any Major US Media Outlet investigated her? 60 Minutes is world renowned for their investigations, why haven't they reported on Sylvia and her tricks? Perhaps because Sylvia's special talk show, Montel, is produced by CBS? Although, from what I have been told, not for long; his show is getting the axe, next year!
It makes me absolutely furious that Sylvia has made millions and millions of dollars off of innocent people. And she has zero compassion. She is such a cold and heartless person. When she sees grieving people in need of help and love all this greedy witch sees is Dollar Signs! This is certainly not the way a spiritual advisor behaves. Perhaps Sylvia should re-read "Spiritual Advising for Dummies" again?
I know that sooner or later the truth will catch up to Sylvia Browne though. It may not be today or tomorrow, but eventually it will catch up to her. How can I be so sure? Anyone that arrogant and that incredibly ignorant always falls hard.
 Basic But Deeply Flawed (Another $ Maker For Author) March 22, 2008

This book is a basic review of alleged secret societies in history and the present. The author also rails against the New World Order concept of global government but never explains why that would be a bad thing, considering the present organization of human cultures has failed so miserably in attaining peace among peoples and increasing the quality of life and pursuit of happiness for all human beings. I get the impression that this author is a money machine, phony in her beliefs on "channeling," more or less a lightweigth who should be ignored.
I got it for free but it cost to much from the time I wasted reading it. February 5, 2008

I had never read a Sylvia Brown book before so I had no particular expectations as to what I would find. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The entire book read like a bad Wikipedia article. There was little to no documentation, the sources she does cite are secondary and of questionable merit. Stunningly her publisher/editor had the nerve to refer to"Sylvia's research," This research could be compared with a high school or college freshman English paper. Her ability to churn out bestselling books assembly line style appears to reflect her skill in writing in a style that consistently attracts a specific audience and fan base. Despite her writing style it is still beguiling as to why she has such large following and even her own church. (despite her criticism of organized religion) The most ridiculous part of her book is where she claims to uncover a secret meta-society that controls all the other groups. In her "extensive" research she has found no one who has documented or even mentioned this group called the "Secret Coalition for American Nationalism" or SCAN. All her "research" and all the "web sites" she visited talked about every society but this one. Her only source of information about this organization is her imaginary friend Francine or as her editor puts it "her amazing communication with her spirit guide Francine." Conveniently this source cannot be confirmed or verified by anyone else. I wonder if I were to write a research paper on SCAN how I would cite Francine as a source. I mean if I was using the Chicago Manual of Style would it be a personal conversation with a ghost or some type of correspondence. Perhaps it would be a conversation with yourself or talking to yourself:
---Francine (imaginary friend or delusional discussion) with the author November 2005.
Anyway, this book is a waste of trees.
 Received this product promtly as always. January 10, 2008
