"The Occult & Subversive Movements: Tradition & Counter-Tradition in the Struggle for World Power" by Kerry Bolton
"Conspiracy theory" is now a widely familiar term, albeit generally referred to with sarcasm and scorn. Yet "criminal conspiracies" are heard before law courts. The Mafia, the Thuggee in India, and Triads in China are all recognised criminal conspiracies that have ritualistic and religious elements.
