According to her excellent account, there is a guiding thread throughout all of this revolutionary activity, illuminated Freemasonry. And the author certainly makes a solid case for this, skillfully tying together the writings of Weishaupt with the pronouncements of the <i>Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion</i> and the actions of the Soviet state.</p></blockquote><p>However the writer of this comment, Michael Tozer, was critical of the fact that Webster exculpated Anglo-Saxon freemasonry from any involvement in the international Jewish conspiracy.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a></sup> </p><h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Secret_Societies_and_Subversive_Movements"><i>Secret Societies and Subversive Movements</i></span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Nesta_Webster&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Secret Societies and Subversive Movements">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h3> <p><i>Secret Societies and Subversive Movements</i> (1924) links the Russian <a href="/wiki/October_Revolution" title="October Revolution">October Revolution</a> and rise of <a href="/wiki/Communism" title="Communism">communism</a> with the Bavarian Illuminati, a short-lived secret society founded by philosopher and Freemason Adam Weishaupt, and runs back and forward in time to present a secret mystical tradition spanning thousands of years. Her work is heavily dualistic, with almost everything, even freemasonry, having both a good and an evil side: British freemasonry is good, French bad. This includes the mystical tradition of Kabbalah, which she claims is "older than the Jewish race, a legacy handed down from the first patriarchs of the world", and later corrupted by evil Jews. Her writing rapidly shifts from conventional conspiracy to esoteric religion: "one must know that the Cabala is double; that one is true, the other false. The true and pious one is that which elucidates the secret mysteries of the holy law according to the principle of anagogy (i.e. figurative interpretation). This Cabala therefore the Church has never condemned.
