Robin de Ruiter, 58, is perhaps the most prominent European conspiracy writer. If anyone still doubts that a satanic cabal, the Illuminati, is responsible for all wars and depressions and is intent on enslaving mankind, I heartily recommend this book.

A Dutchman raised in Spain, and now living in Ecuador, de Ruiter has been studying the Illuminati since the 1980's. He writes with the assurance of a man who has deciphered the plan. De Ruiter uses familiar sources but because he is a polyglot, he has access to some important new ones.

We are raised, by tradition, to trust our governments, and convinced that they care about us. This, however, is a big mistake. Below the surface of official politics lies a complicated social and intellectual process that is taking place.

Are the visible world leaders just mere puppets directed by an invisible power from behind the scenes? Are there invisible hands controlling the world? Is there a conspiracy? Who are the conspirators?

We are dealing with the rise of a new geo-political supranational power on the world scene. This geo-political power consists of the richest families on this planet. Together with the most powerful multinationals they rule and control all countries and all coalitions. The true aim of this elite group is complete control of Planet Earth.

The genius of this conspiracy is that most people are unaware of it. They simply act out of a combination of indoctrination (education), propaganda and perceived self interest. The elite is dedicated to a suicidal crusade against civilization. This conspiracy is shrouded in a second conspiracy, one of silence. Most everyone is afraid to speak out, or perceives some personal advantage in cooperating. As conditions continue to deteriorate, more people will demand the truth and turn to books like Robin de Ruiter's "Worldwide Evil and Misery" for insight.
