Fritz Artz Springmeier (born September 24, 1955 in Garden City, KS) (fka Victor E. Schoof) is an American conspiracy writer and activist, who has written a number of books describing powerful families and organizations. He has described his goal as "giving hope, exposing evil, and calling people back to scriptural wisdom."

EARLY LIFE Fritz's father, James Schoof, had a career developing the agriculture of third world countries to make the world self-sufficient in food. Fritz lived in Katmandu, Nepal from 1960 to 1965, and travelled the world as a child. At age 15, he travelled Europe, and spent two summer months helping his German relative Hans Adolf Schoof with his farm. He graduated from Council Grove High School with many honors. He participated in football, wrestling, and track. In track, he was a sprinter.

MILITARY SERVICE Senator Robert Dole and Rep. Joe Skubitz both appointed Fritz, then known by his birth name Victor Schoof, to West Point, USMA. He entered West Point on July 3, 1973, and resigned on Jan. 25, 1975 after deciding he didn't want a military career. He had become a conscientious objector to war, and along those lines joined the Old Order Amish.

PRISON In the early 2000's, Springmeier was charged by the Federal government with various counts. These were taken to trial, where Fritz lost on some of the charges. In spite of Springmeier's commitment to peace, Springmeier was alleged in an article written by Judge Redden's son prior to trial to have been linked to a violent extremist group called the Army of God, and it was alleged that he had been growing marijuana with a member of that organization in order to supplement his income.

On January 31, 2002, Springmeier was indicted on one charge of cultivation of marijuana under subsection (a), paragraph (1) of 21 U.S.C. § 841. He was arrested, together with his wife, after investigations into a white separatist group revealed evidence of this group doing marijuana cultivation. The government dropped that charge on November 13, 2003.

Also on January 31, 2002, Springmeier was indicted in connection with a bank robbery. On February 12, 2003, Springmeier was found guilty of one count of armed bank robbery under subsections (a) and (d) of 18 U.S.C. § 2113 and one count of possession of a semi-automatic rifle during a federal crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 924 and 18 U.S.C. § 2. On the same day that the marijuana charge was dropped, Springmeier was sentenced to 9 years and 3 months in prison for his involvement in the robbery in Damascus, Oregon in 1997, in which he set a bomb at an adult video store as an accomplice of another right-wing militant. In October 2010, Springmeier was released from prison to go on and complete a 5 year probation program. Springmeier was put back in prison in January 2011, and was again released on March 25, 2011.

Springmeier has written books on Christian subjects, handwriting analysis, and the history and methods of the Illuminati. Some of his publishers were KK Bestsellers, Ambassador House, Mayra Publications, Pentracks.com. His articles have appeared on various websites. He has made multiple videos and presentations.

Springmeier's early work, The Watchtower & the Masons, focuses on the relationship between Jehovah's Witnesses and Freemasonry. In this book he describes a relationship between Charles Taze Russell and Freemasonry.

Springmeier's books present research built upon what numerous ex-members of the occult and the Illuminati shared with him over the years. "Bloodlines of the Illuminati first came out in book form in 1995. The book is an exhausting analysis of the history of powerful families: Astor, Bundy, Collins, Dupont, Freeman, Kennedy, Krupp, Li, Onassis, Reynolds, Rockefeller, Rothschild, Russell, Van Duyn, and the Merovingian bloodline. Also in his other writings is the description of Satanic worship. He states that these families engage in mind control.
