AN INTERVIEW: 1. Can you briefly summarize why you think history is a weapon of war against people?Briefly?, not really, except to say Sun Tzu wasn’t
first to notice that propaganda was first and most important part of conquest. Caesars won more through secret deals and blackmailing likes of Herod and Sanhedrin than they ever did through force of arms. We saw how guerillas work against a conqueror in Vietnam and even in Iraq at present. I have written about fifty books. The framework for a new history that is based on forensics and science or artifacts rather than priestly power-mongers is now available.
2. But surely there are many who have written a truer history since end of Dark Ages?
Yes, but destruction of libraries and records of supposed beliefs in things like Flat Earth or Kelts being ‘barbarians’ is still a part of current scholarship because people quote Caesar’s Journals that were actually written by Hirtius or other propaganda as if these reports are actual fair reportage to some extent as they say that is all we have. Michael Parenti and others like Howard Zinn of Harvard who have often been drummed out of Universities do tell a little of what I consider is true history. There has been some earlier authors quoted in works of Herodotus and others once considered fiction but now being supported by actual artifacts.
3. What about when war is not going on? We still get same history don’t we?
I love how Joseph Campbell described SPIN which occurred at start of WWII in his address called ‘Permanent Human Values’ to women he taught at Sarah Lawrence University. It ended up getting him branded as a Nazi by some truly sadistic government mouthpieces in media. In any event we have always been preparing for or engaged in war as I see it.
4. I recall having read that address, it was magnificent and should be required reading for everyone and covered before every movement of government towards more conflict. But surely you aren’t saying that all history is a lie, are you? Campbell didn’t go that far.
No, of course not. There are always lots of facts presented along with dates and data that can boggle mind of a good statistician. Mark Twain knew a lot about ‘lies, damn lies and statistics’ though.
5. Yes, and we recently saw how standard operating procedure of passing buck or Hide Ball worked on cover-up of real reason we invaded Iraq and all that weapons of mass destruction – didn’t we? But let’s get into Great Pyramid which you write volumes about. You make point that ‘fit’ of rocks or blocks can’t be explained by scholars who say Egyptians built it as some sort of make-work program now that slaves fiction has been thoroughly disproven due to artifacts. In fact you have built a rather intricate charge of a conspiracy to destroy and lie about these things to point of blaming WGBH and video called ‘This Old Pyramid’. Can you substantiate these charges for my listeners?
I do, but it isn’t done in a sound byte. Let me say this though. I saw a letter from David Suzuki of ‘The Nature of Things’ in response to formal factual presentations from Davidovits and Morris about how they used modern equipment with forklift trucks and hardened steel tools to make that puny Pyramid which they didn’t even have guts to admit shifted in sand. He noted he had not been given footage or facts that showed these things. And when it comes to Hawass and his trotting out weird alien theories or theorists as if that proves he is open to alternatives – THAT is pure SPIN!
6. I found part where Archaeology Magazine was printing articles saying Sphinx and Pyramids were mere imitations of natural landforms a little bizarre. But that poured in place theory of Davidovits which you support doesn’t explain ‘fit’ of sarcophagus or obelisks found in their quarries.
I support that as just one of technologies they used and you are right it cannot explain a 1/150th inch tolerance in lidless sarcophagus that never had any human remains in it. In fact no Giza Pyramid had any funerary purpose and no remains of humans have been found in them. The American Research Center in Egypt did use AMS accelerators to date biologics found inside Pyramid in some places. These biologics like straw showed Great Pyramid is 450 years older than Step Pyramid which Egyptology says was built before Great Pyramid.
7. Ok, I guess we can’t cover all other possible technologies that you and likes of Christopher Dunn have shown could have been used. You really do have a passionate stance on matter of Hawass and likes of Cayce Masonic agent and his Foundation which paid to educate Hawass and Lehner though.
I surely do have issues with liars and Bible Narrative which ultimately justifies Manifest Destiny and blames G-d or attributes things to aliens when man is responsible for all these things. National Geographic and other Egyptologists outside that cabal have provided me with lots of good reading and I share these perspectives with my readers.
