Book Excerpt Of The Week: Part 2- “Secret Societies of America’s Elite” By: Steven Sora

“The universities and museums determined how the history books would be written. They could color the past to suit themselves or others. The opium clippers were referred to as ‘tea clippers.’ The slave trade became the ‘sugar and molasses trade.’ Wartime profiteering and price gouging were simply not discussed. Slave traders who were now bank presidents were ‘prominent businessmen.’ And many people whose fortunes were built on opium and slave trading became those prominent businessmen.” -From, “Secret Societies of America’s Elite” By: Steven Sora
