Hey thanks for the info, I was looking for free ebooks on the subject of secret societies but they were of course hard to come by. Thanks for the link!

Well, just because it's in the public domain, doesn't mean that it's old, and just because it's old, doesn't mean the author didn't have a conspiracy theory agenda.

While I do appreciate a number of the books posted on that site, including the likes of Fritz Springmeier is a genuine mistake for any site wanting credibility.

In the hoax category you can add Edith Starr Miller aka Lady Queensborough, and one should be careful reading John Robison as some of his sources may be questionable as well. (With Robison & Miller here, I'm surprised Nesta Webster isn't included on their site as well...)

Any of Eustace Mullins' works?
"Secrets of the Federal Reserve" is an awesome read and filled with tons of information directly from the library of congress.
Then there's his writings on Jews. If you read with an open-mind they are very interesting. If you're any bit close-minded, well you will get offended quickly, even though he doesn't write anything too offensive. He actually writes in a pretty objective manner, but the truth often hurts.

This is a great link to public domain resources.

A lot of good information.

Duncan's ritual is always enlightening.

S&F op.

I think this site is operated by that Vigilant Citizen dude, so I wouldn't say he's impartial.
Still, some excellent books on there.

Here's what I find funny:

Whenever someone posts links to anti-Masonic texts, it seems like the Masons are the first to join in with their own links to books critical of the fraternity.

Try and find a Southern Baptist minister who has read the Satanic Bible...

like they say, they let their actions speak for themselves. i like to start with the anti anything before i go to the horse mouth anyway, its easier than digesting the word then trying to compare it with the criticisms.
