Request for Comments -- Fritz Springmeier

It sounds like Fritz Springmeier is going to be appearing on Thursday's Alex Jones radio show (and will probably tape an interview segment to appear on the Nightly News webcast for Thursday evening).

In the last few days, I've been trying to do a little reading of some of his books, and watching parts of a couple of videos. Alex seems (at least recently) to have quite a high opinion of him and his works, but the thing that has struck me most is the material he promotes as the truth about the Illuminati presents a great deal of detail, but offers virtually no documentation.

In a video I was watching Tuesday, he was talking about a certain rather extreme belief that was part of the Jehovah's Witness religion. He allowed that most Jehovah's Witnesses probably have never heard of this, but that he had found it "in an obscure paragraph in an obscure book" written by some unnamed church leader at some point in time. Neither the author, nor the time period, nor the title of the book were mentioned. But he said that since he had not heard of this belief being repudiated, he was confident that the church still believed it.

In the few couple of dozen pages I have read in Springmeier's book, Bloodlines of the Illuminati, there are a few references, but painfully few. And often they are references to another book by him. For example:
If you’ve read the Jan 1, 1993 newsletter or Be Wise As Serpents you have come across the Grande Druid Council, This is a high level Illuminati council. In Be Wise As Serpents in the second section in a chapter entitled Heresy Interlocks with Power on the 8th page, I gave the names of people who were on that secret Grande Druid Council in the Spring of 1978. Each of those people are powerful witches, and have a great deal of power in the world. Yvonne Collins was on the Grande Druid Council. She was a traditionalist. To be a traditionalist means that she holds the view that only those people who are born to families with satanic power and witches in their family background can be true witches Obviously, the Collins family has a long history of witchcraft if she holds this view.
I don't want to dismiss someone who it would appear has an unusually great command of deep knowledge of the families and individuals who ostensibly make up the Illuminati. But I learned an adage many years ago that has proven very useful in various research that I've conducted for my own benefit, i.e.:
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence/proof.
So far I have just not seen anything approaching extraordinary evidence from Springmeier... only "here's what's true, believe it because I tell you it's true."

Can someone show me that I'm developing the wrong opinion of Mr. Springmeier? Please comment. Thanks.

First of all let me say thanks for all of your hard work. It is deeply appreciated by more people than you realize.

Springmeir goes into areas that are virtually unchartered. I think that the fact that the book came out in 1995 and that he has never been sued for libel may lead credence to some of his points.

Also, he was framed and jailed. This might also give credence to the fact that he is hitting on some sentive nerves.

Thats what I think

God Bless

You're assessment is the way I see it also. Jordan Maxwell was on Jones's show a year or more ago. He said a family friends daughter years ago asked to copy all Jordan's research. He let her. He said she turned out to be Springmeir's girl. He said Springmeir told him you don't own the info you only researched it. Jones quickly changed the subject. The last time Maxwell was on the show he was in bad health and broke, he asked Jones to come help him finish a movie presentation he wanted his imput, it had to do with the rising sun and the Obama "0" logo and the 2012 plans the globalist have. Jones told him he couldn't help him. Jones seemed less kind to Maxwell as times before. Some of Maxwell's religious symbology analysis is screwy IMO. I think his work has some importance but he has crazy stories about lights coming into the room with a real live baby dinosaur not a dream but a real dinosaur. Springmeir said in one of his videos Al Gore is addicted to blood and carries a metal container with blood packed in it and has to use it everyday. None of this might help but it's strange. I haven't seen much of it documented. One more thing month ago Jones was talking about DARPAS predictive supercomputer, the one that has a sim of every human alive Jones says. Jones stopped buy to pick up a 12 pack of beer one night. Then Jones said the computer knew before he did that he would buy that very beer at that very minute. I started laughing my ass off but he was dead serious. Maybe he is working to hard?

I forgot to add Maxwell said Springmeir's book is accurate just stolen from him, maybe Maxwell has some documentation. Who knows?

Springmeier got none of his stuff from Maxwell. And as for documentation you should check out Springmeier's Be Wise As Serpents. It is easy to arm chair criticize, when one hasn't had to take on projects like his books under the duress of swimming against the stream. This material was put out before it was so popular, and when the path had to be blazed alone.

If you want to comment anonymously, that is fine, but i would be helpful if you would sign your comment with something to help distinguish one Anon from another. Maybe initials, your lucky number, favorite food. Something. Just a suggestion.
