The Dying God: The Hidden History of Western Civilization

Rating:
Summary: Useless!
Review: I really had great hopes when ordering this book. It is proclaimed to be the hidden history of Western Civilization. As I am degreed in history and treat the study of history now as a serious undertaking, I was intrigued. In addition, the positive reviews led me to think this would be an imporant contribution to my overall research. I was sadly disappointed.

From the beginning of the narrative, I knew I was in trouble. In a broad sweep, the author attributes the "liberalism" of the French Revoluiton to the triumph of the Enlightenment. To this, I would say that the author really needs to read some history. The French Revolution was one of the most terrible epochs in history. If there is a similar movement, it would be the Bolshevik Revolution, which some have insightfully postured, was engendered by the same forces.

What Livingstone has rendered here is not history in any sense. Rather it is a loose conglomeration of myth and legend, with little analysis and virtually no synthesis. The book is terribly disappointing, as any sort of guide to understanding the history of Western Civilization. I am very suspicious of its favorable reviews. The writing is poor, the documentation scant, and the conclusions faulty. My recommendation as a serious student of history is to avoid wasting time and money on this disappointing effort.

Summary: A Stunning Book Of Real History
Review: Livingston shows that the post modern - liberal- proggressive-secular culture is really a product of an occult tradition that can be traced back to ancient Babylon through the miriad of secret societies, that do their bidding by proxy; Cabalists, Templars, Freemasons, Rosicrucians,Plato, France's Jacobins, German Austrian Thule Society,Covert Satanism Dienetics, Yale Univeresity'S Skull and Bones of old Germanic secret society, and all other propagandist of the essoteric occult practitioners of old and modern times.
In essence, this tradition adopted Lucifer as a symbol of mankinds rebellion against God. It enshrined human reason,appetite and will as the ultimate standard of goodness and empowerment.
The occult's real aim is to empower the elite.
The basic principle of most religions is to behave unto others as we wish to be treated...[In contrast] the occultist...is lured by vanity to seek a type of knowledge that sets him apart from others, maintaining that it is the preserve of the elite

Livingston shows how occult dogma was secretly adopted by key elites throughout history and was behind the English [1649],American [1776], French [1789], and Russian Revolutions[1917], three of which involved genocide.
The occultist inspired the so-called Enlightment, which defined modern culture. Francis Bacon was a Rosicrucian. Diderot, Rousseau, Voltaire, Newton,Christofer Columbus were all Freemasons or belonged to diverse secret societies. Stalin, Roosevelt,and Churchill were Masons,Carl Marx and Stalin were closet Satanist, as was Henry Ford; accreditted author of The International Jew; The plan of Washington D.C. was designed by Masons in the Shape of a pentagram as was the design of the pentagon; the design of the Capitol buildings and ground depicts an owl, the Molec idol of the Cannanites of ancient history, (of which the modern elite Bohemians worship today at the Bohemian Grove at the Russian River near Santa Rosa California.)

The significance of Livingston's lucid, well documented book is enormous. It implies that a dominant segment of our leaders secretly serve Lucifer; as the god of the modern world; their sinister and corrupt influence is evident everywhere.

Secularism is as much a religion as Christianity. The "seperation of church and state" is a stratagem to enshrine Lucifer as their god of the modern world. Masonic secularism's goal is to destroy genuine religion like Christianity. It's no wonder why high visibility conservatives are under attack, they are the last bastion of resistance of their evolutionary progress towards godhood, this explains their eliteism.

This Satanic conspiracy only suceeds because people cannot believe something so colossal and monstrous actaully exists.

This conspirital view of history puts us in a world at war between good and evil, what is contested is the human soul.
The people who are pushing products, drugs, violence, and sex are not operating on a random "whatever sells" basis. The top players are following a script designed to enslave humanity, body and soul. They are building a gigantic prison based on their own mental hell. THIS IS THE NEW WORLD ORDER; we are the inmates.

Summary: The hidden history revealed!
Review: This book faces reality and does away with the adultared presentation of history we get from the oil-soaked-occult-serving-monopoly-Illuminati press.

Mr. Livingstone deprogramms the reader from the mythical history taught in the Rockefeller/Rotschild operated society.

A tremendous book. Complement it with The Hidden History of Money http://bb.domaindlx.com/alexjames999/

Summary: Astonishing but True
Review: This is an astonishing book. Livingstone's industry and committment are breathtaking, and his command of the web of diabolic plots that underlie Western history amd culture formidable. But even more astonishing is the fact that there are people in the world - people who can read and write and drive cars for goodness sake - who actually believe this crap.

Summary: A bold achievement.
Review: What Mr. Livingstone has done here is nothing less than attempt to provide a comprehensive, rational, and frighteningly honest account of the convoluted history of western civilization, all in just under 400 pages. A daunting task, to say the least, and one in which Livingstone has, for the most part, succeeded in. In the end, it depends on how willing the potential reader is on accepting solid facts that may conflict with those that are generally held as dogma by the world at large.

The famous adage "History is written by the winners" has always struck me as frighteningly accurate, in terms of how easily we accept easily digestible morsels of propaganda relating to the so-called "glories" of the western way of life that still has us in its iron grip. Mr. Livingstone suggests that our way of life has been influenced to an incredible degree by so-called "paganism", from the ancient cults of Babylon to the bizarre rituals of modern Freemasonry, and "The Dying God" provides indisputable evidence of this throughout its pages.

"The Dying God" is an excellent compilation of concepts introduced previously in separate historical works. It breaks down the factors behind the "rise" of western philosophy, politics and religion in terms that anyone can understand, and the results will be shocking to those who have accepted the commonly accepted mythos served up in history classes all over the "developed" world.

Even if you already consider yourself to be a well-read historian, "The Dying God" can be an invaluable tool in helping to rationalize the irrational situations the global community finds itself in today. One can only hope thar Mr. Livingstone continues along this integral thread of humanity in future works.
