The Unseen Hand: An Introduction to the Conspiratorial View of History

Excellent, well written book on our alternate history of America's trails and tribulations from early times to the present with complete documentation even though it's copyrighted 1986. It still is valid today and should be a must read for anybody who considers them selves a patriot!!! Unfortunately, this book may never be printed as a college text in American history unless some astute professor adds it to required reading for students--but it should be mandatory reading for every student in high school as well as college!!-Who controls the publishing houses; the three main ones such as McGraw Hill, Princeton-Hall, and Harper-Collins that issues text books are also controlled by International Bankers--so I don't look for this book to be printed as a text for our educational system anytime! Very well written synopsis of this book by Stephen McCarty! I just started reading this book today but I know it will most likely echo all the other books and documented material I have researched over the last forty years from books like "NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON", to others that relate the truth of our history as told by conspirators themselves as well as avid researches like Mr. Epperson. Having been around for over half a century I have experienced many of these trails and tribulations the author has so painstakingly researched and found them painfully true. I am a patriotic individual who is also DAV veteran from the Vietnam era but never lived off the public dole and always worked until I retired! My oldest son served in IRAQ despite my protest for him not to go---far all wars are fought for monetary gain (International Banksters) in my opinions---our young men and women are mere cannon folder for these banking gangsters! Now what do we do as a Republic to stop this evil stampede that is occurring in America today and has been for the last century? I have mentioned and discussed these issues with various people from all walks of life everywhere I have traveled for the last forty years and to no avail--it seems like it falls on deaf ears. I have even taken to the courts to redress grievances by submitting amicus curiae -... briefs to no avail! I have supported candidates that may have restored our country to a Republic like physical conservatives who believe in the US Constitution-and especially the "BILL OF RIGHTS" but it appears the oxen in the field (some Americans) don't mind having this yoke of servitude around them or they prefer to live in an ILLUSION of freedom. It is not freedom when the government takes from the producers of society and gives to those who are like leeches that live off the blood of productive members of society!!! Needless to express folks don't understand, know or either don't care about the debt/banker relationship that our former Presidents warned us about many years ago--The FEDERAL RESERVE AND IRS---both private entities that suck the blood from the labor of Americans and happen to be the planks of the Communist Manifesto which is another process to enslave the masses and remove the middle class from society! WAKE UP AMERICANS!!!! Let us start today to work on restoring our Republic for our children and grand-children so as not to wake up and find we have an OLIGARCHY government that is almost here today like in George Oswell's -"Animal Farm"? In conclusion, Mr. Epperson offers guidelines for patriots in the USA to stop the evil ones from implementing a one world government. Some may appear extreme right wing so for you edification and further education here below are two alternate web sites that should one want to continue our struggles to ensure the American way------- may choose the organization of your choice! 1.

Epperson wrote a book that covers quite a lot of information but at the same time, he assembled a very accessible and logically arranged introduction to any reader who is not already well versed in the topic, and that is quite an accomplishment. His worldview is firmly Christian and while some may see that as a minus, I view it as an important asset, for there is, I am convinced, a spiritual element to the deepest conspiracies. I was not convinced that all of the details he shared are fully precise. There are just a few possibly questionable historical references, but the largest issue I took note of was that Epperson, like so many in the Christian mainstream, is dedicated to the idea of a young earth and predictably cited Henry Morris to that end. I continually wish that Christians would read Gorman Gray's scripture-honoring thesis that the age of the earth is intentionally left open to the very real possibility of longer ages than the classic Bishop Ussher calculation that seems to so often inform the mainstream. Because I accept the idea of an old earth, that does not mean I believe in evolution rather than creation. I'm with Epperson on that one: Darwin's ideas serve the conspiracy. Having gotten the minor complaints out of the way, I wish to heartily recommend The Unseen Hand. Epperson clearly put solid effort into the outline of his presentation, copiously documented his research, and offered a thorough index. He also clearly writes with the idea of helping the reader and confronts the typical novice response that defaults to "...there's nothing we can do about it" once the conspiracy is first grasped. As a whole, Epperson nails it. He puts his finger on the nature of the fight and makes the accidental view of history (that is so commonly and unthinkingly embraced) difficult to remain loyal to. Because he covers so much territory in his exposé, there is simply not the space to develop details in-depth. Instead, he offers enough detail to tie the various parts of the history of conspiracy into a whole. Herein is the great strength of his book. As an overview, it is priceless. Epperson makes the big picture clear so that what has been going on is far less arcane and concealed from view. It's a great book to hand someone who needs to be awakened.

Very Deep.

This should be used as the basis to revamp all US textbooks. Ralph Epperson's "The Unseen Hand" really is one of the greatest books ever written. It's backed up with end notes and takes from other amazing books such as None Dare Call it Conspiracy. The great thing about this book is you can jump around from chapter to chapter, if you want to read how the Civil War was created by the bankers and both sides funded by the Rothschilds you can read just about that. How many people know what Seward's Folly was? Was it really a folly? How did Hitler, an uneducated little hater in a tiny group of radicals gain such power and so fast? For anyone who's ever looked back on history and thought, 'well that doesn't make sense', there's a reason. Most of the history we've been taught is wrong. It's time we take it back.

A brief but concise explanation on the creeping socialism that has over the centuries been put into play by hidden powers that are never voted in and control our elected politicians, news media, education system, western military-industrial complex, and exert continual pressure on the middle class in an attempt to install a feudal master-servant system on humanity. The author refers to the writings of Antony C. Sutton on many occasions, and these books are also a must read (Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler; Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution; Wall Street and Roosevelt). The movie "The Mission" is an historic and somewhat realistic portrayal of the philosophy of the Jesuits and their philosophy of communal paradise in the Brazilian jungle. I now understand why the Jesuits were disbanded, why the Illuminati (who was formed by a Jesuit) were disbanded by the Bavarian king, why the Iroquois burned Jesuit priests on the stake and ate their hearts, what really went on during the French and Russian revolutions, and possible forces lurking in the background of the American Revolution. It would be dynamite to see this book updated to include the atrocities committed in the 911 incident against the American people.

I first heard about Ralph and "The Unseen Hand" while watching the film "9/11 : The Greatest Lie Ever Sold" by Anthony J. Hilder. Epperson makes an appearance in Hilder's 2004 documentary and briefly mentions the book. That got my attention. I haven't read all of it yet but what I have so far makes sense and is very interesting. Epperson has done a lot of research and much of what he has put here explains the whole picture better.

I loved it....but then if i'm honest I love books like this...in so much as it does appear to be well researched, Epperson throught the book makes strong, coherent arguements that challenges the normal conventional understanding of recent and past history. The whole section relating to Darwin did have some religious undertones, but in fairness, it did what all good books should do....it make me think....yes I still prefer the theory of evolutionary process to God and religion, but Darwin is not as water tight for me now....Overall an enjoyable book to read, just have a small bit of salt to hand when you do. On par with None Dare Call it Conspiracy, and for that matter The PaperClip Conspiracy (however the paper clip Con. was much more fact and fiction)!!!

in 2020 you cannot read a book and say it is the truth. Who the hell knows what the truth is anymore. However something inside me tells me this book is very close to it. Great read and one hard to put down. I knew most of the info already but this is a great collection.

Opposite of everything you have been told: Everything in history is a fluke and historically events and even societies have sort of organically evolved. Right. Read this on a dare and have been somewhat disturbed ever since. Highly recommended to thinkers. Sheep can graze elsewhere.
