The western obsession with secret societies is a pop-culture phenomenon. The author should know that if he wants to talk about secret societies.

His example for the magical concept of "as above, so below" is a real stretch. The sentence could as well be understood that we should form a society in accordance with the laws of nature, not religion and superstition.

And maybe the referal to "R.C. Christian" was a deliberate joke? A joke by the authors to vex readers?



And it's really to convenient to think that the world-population can only be reduced by killing people.
Oh, big bad government wants to kill us!
Has it never occured to this conspiracy-theorist that a population also shrinks when less new people are born???



Summary:
Deliberate distortions, half-truths, unsupported conclusions, lack of knowledge on the matter he wants to lecture others about... Yeah, total whack-job.
