Rating:  Summary: Humorous, Yet Informative Diatribe--Confusing/Poorly Written Review: This Diatribe of Freemasonry is much more Humorous, than Kah's attempt at defacing the organization and "revealing" claims about the New World Order. From the beginning, it is very difficult to take the book seriously. The writer sounds like a delusional / paranoid "Conspiracy Theorist" and he takes-up many pages rambling about no one taking him seriously, and lamenting the fact that all the major talk shows dismissed him without response. However, one bright spot in this, is we get to read the Other view of John J. Robinson's famous Interview with the author. If you can get past the whining and "poor me" syndrome, you will find the book becomes quite funny and entertaining. I was giggling, ten minutes into the book. Yet, despite the silly accusations and "out of context" quotations of Freemasonry books, combined with the very narrow-minded views of the author and his constant self-aggrandizement, this book does, in fact have great Value for Freemasons and Anti-Masons.Anti-Masons, with limited perspectives, will love this book and feel vindicated. Freemasons, will enjoy the concise lists of reading materials and the references to obscure Masonic books they may not have heard-of, before. Also, this book is the only book I have read, so-far, that shows the fact that John J. Robinson became a 33rd degree Mason, for his wonderful, well-researched books. I did not learn this, until I started hanging-out at The Shrine....but, here it is, in the Public Domain. Personally, I believe Masons should read as many Anti-Masonic Books, as they read Masonic books. Usually, they are quite silly and good for some great laughs and jokes--however, they also tend to have just-enough information to find a new book or two on the subject. So far, the biggest "conspiracy" I have discovered is the competition to schedule a better fund-raiser than other Lodges: Fish Fry, or Bean Supper..... AHA! Let's have a Chili Cook-off ! Masons, give this guy a chance. Even if you can't take him seriously, he is much funnier than Kah and good for many knee-slappers. Besides, this guy has created some pretty good lists of Masonic books, to read-even if he does take things out of context, when quoting. The funny thing is, almost every Mason I know is a devout Christian.
