Where we talk about the mistakes we made and the details we couldn't quite squeeze into our Secret Societies series. With questions like, What made the Freemasons so prone to takeover by the secret societies? Why is "The All Seeing Eye", which is on the Great Seal of the United States not an Illuminati symbol!? And was Crowley actually planning to stab anyone with the dagger? Crow?

So that's where the Hogan's Hero character got his famous phrase "I know nothing", Extra credit for you if you know whom I speak of David.

There was a government created conspiracy surrounding Burr after the fateful duel with Hamilton that was political suicide for Burr. He was arrested in 1807 and charged with treason according to Jefferson. It's hard to tell if there was anything to back the charge of treason, Burr spent time in Europe before returning to New York where he'd die in 1836.

Iβm glad you did the Knights of the Golden Circle. I was hoping youβd mention The Know Nothings. The Native American Party was a secretive anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic political party that formed around the 1850s. They even nominated Millard Fillmore for president and asked him to kept their support secret and not talk about the party. They won the governorship of several states before the party collapsed. They were called the βKnow Nothingsβ because if anyone asked what they were doing. They were supposed to reply βI know nothing.β

I'd love to see a series that also followed Burr? If we get some hints of his early life in the new series coming up that's cool. Then obviously the Burr and Hamilton thing... and then... the man kinda seemed to go crazy and might have tried to start a coup after he shot Hamilton..? I've love to know more

With those secret societies left on the cutting room floor, should like we need a second series, "Secret Societies That They Don't Want You To Know" ("they", of course, being secret knowledge)
