Cheque Mate: The Game of Princes

Rating:
Summary: Excellent coverage of the subject
Review: Baker takes a religious point of view to the events of the past 200 years and in doing so sheds light on the moral inconsistencies of our present world and reveals what he has learned over the years about what is happening to us. His evaluation of events in the US during the last 50 years is quite insightful.

Detail is excellent and overall the book is accurate and consistent with other references on this subject with only minor exceptions when Baker refers mater-of-factly to events in Germany during WW2 of which he obviously has no first hand knowledge and is grossly misinformed.

The strongest part of the book is Section II - The Adversary wherein Baker goes into detail about those behind the "New World Order" and it's secret agenda.

The weakest part of the book is the Section IV - The Final Move - Cheque Mate wherein Bakers conclusions carry an overt religious message and can not be taken literally.

Summary: AMAZING YET TRUE
Review: This book is amazingly accurate, and reflects that a great deal of study and first hand knowledge went into this book. I enjoy reading factual books which contain the proof and background information laid out well enough that the reader can then check the facts out for themselves. There may be a few things that are not completely accurate, but most of this is so, folks. I have been studying the Illuminati and other connected organizations for the last 30 years. When I would tell people about the conspiracy and the New World Order they were planning (WAYYYY before George Bush Sr. EVER mentioned that name), people would scoff and say it was too far fetched, even the born again Christians who believe in this sort of thing. Yet, once George Bush (Sr.) revealed that it was about to be put in place, STILL no-one believed me; they actually thought it was a COINCIDENCE that he mentioned that exact name, on SEVERAL occasions that I know of! People believe what they are comfortable believing, I suppose. Nevertheless, the warnings in this book might become more believable as the New World Order is brought more to the forefront. The only parts I had problems with were the last chapter of the book, where the author suddenly stops his analytical and factual style and starts pushing the old fashioned male chauvanism that I grew up with in the church. It is so unbelievably archaic, and the reason that most churches have abandoned those sort of teachings is that they found out the verses they were using had been mistranslated, so there is NO biblical reason to think that women are subject to men! The Greek verb used to state that women should submit to themselves to their husbands was in fact a reciprocal verb which meant in turn that the men had to submit themselves to their wives. In other words, marriage is a give and take partnership. All that aside, this part of the book did not fit in at all. It went from a political and factual expose to a religious teaching that was entirely inappropriate for this book. All in all, I still give the book 5 stars, because of the amazing work done and the fact that this book is a timely warning, indeed.
