“A Woman’s Nation or Satan’s Deceit” by M. C. Hizedek offers a provocative examination of historical events through a conspiratorial lens, particularly focusing on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the involvement of women in the feminist movement. The book delves into the controversial execution of Mary Surratt, a member of the women’s feminist movement, who was hanged for her participation in Lincoln’s assassination. Hizedek portrays Surratt as part of a larger, sinister conspiracy involving the Vatican’s Papal Guard and the Jesuits, suggesting that these religious factions had a vested interest in Lincoln’s demise. This narrative challenges conventional historical accounts, framing the feminist movement as complicit in a broader, malevolent plot against the United States.
Before his untimely death, Abraham Lincoln purportedly revealed to his trusted staff a dire warning about the threats he faced, not just from the Confederacy, but from the Pope of Rome and his Jesuit followers. Lincoln is quoted in Hizedek’s book as asserting that the Jesuits were orchestrating his assassination, with plans to eliminate him when he passed through Baltimore. The plot, allegedly led by a fervent Roman Catholic named Byrne, included disguised priests among its ranks to motivate the assassins. Hizedek’s work argues that this was part of a larger pattern of religious and ideological warfare against non-Socialist Democratic presidents, which purportedly continued for decades after Lincoln’s death.
The book posits that the assassination of Lincoln was just the beginning of a series of politically motivated killings that targeted U.S. presidents who opposed socialist democratic ideals. This period of alleged “presidential genocide” extended from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, culminating in the assassination of President Warren Harding in 1923. Hizedek suggests that these events were orchestrated by a combination of radical feminist elements and religious zealots, deeply intertwined with European powers. By presenting such a narrative, “A Woman’s Nation or Satan’s Deceit” aims to rewrite historical interpretations, casting a shadow on both the feminist movement and religious institutions, and prompting readers to reconsider the complex interplay of politics, religion, and social movements in American history.
