This paper by Miles Mathis argues that concepts like Kabbalah, Hermeticism, and the Occult were not ancient esoteric traditions, but rather manufactured hoaxes created by Jewish bankers and Intelligence agencies, particularly beginning in the Renaissance and continuing through the 17th century and beyond. Mathis posits that these manufactured traditions served as fronts for financial and political agendas, primarily to weaken Rome and the aristocracy to benefit the rising merchant class and promote trade.

The author traces this through several key historical periods and figures:

Throughout the text, Mathis consistently equates the Occult with Intelligence operations and argues that “witches” were often spies or covert operatives. He criticizes mainstream historical accounts for obscuring these “truths” and engaging in “misdirection.” The author emphasizes that his goal is to reveal the truth by dismantling lies and to understand the motives of the players involved. He concludes by suggesting that the battle between aristocratic wealth and merchant wealth, often waged through the manipulation of Intelligence and fronts like the Occult, is a centuries-long conflict.
