Oh shit Springmeier... yeah I know about him... but I don't know what I think. There is a lot of controversy about him. And you should be careful to believe anything CIA put out.
I have read a bit of his book, well the one about the 13 bloodlines and illuminati. But I have also read a bit about him, and it is not very positive. I will not get into it here.
Just know that anything CIA purposefully share with people is probably not completely true. The name Illuminati is also foolish. Of course, that is not their real name. Adam Weishaupt created the Illuminati in 1776. He was a mason. But the TPTB is much older than that.
Oh yes, CIA itself is part of Illuminati. Definitely, they need a "government agency" to take care of "policy" while they provide the "funding..."
Of course, they are going to "discredit" Springmeier... for "exposing their secrets..."
The whole modus is "utter secrecy..." So it's safe to believe that "whatever comes out publicly" that "exposes" or "smears" them must merit consideration in terms of scrutiny...for possible truth... or truth itself...
When tracing the truth, we need to look for patterns and consistency...
