00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay, we are alive. Hi does William Ramsey. Welcome to

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>William Ramsey Investigates. On today's show, I have a very

3
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.160
<v Speaker 1>special guest. I've talked to him before. His name is

4
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Walter Boseley, last name is bos l e Y, and

5
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.559
<v Speaker 1>we've done a number of shows on the Walter Boseley Channel,

6
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the YouTube channel. We covered some of his books, The

7
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Mystery of Ingersoll, Lockwood, The Empire of the Wheel, an

8
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 1>investigation of called Espionage. I've been on his show talking

9
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>about the West Memphis Three, Scarlett Blake, who's a tranny,

10
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Alista Crowley, the Doors. But today we're going to talk

11
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>about a book he recently published. And if you're watching

12
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>this on Rumble or Rockfin or X, you'll see the cover.

13
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>It's the second and a two part two book compendium

14
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 1>called Esoteric Napoleon. So this is Esoteric Napoleon two and

15
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>there's an obviously an Esoteric Napoleon one. I have not

16
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>read through the books, but I'm very familiar with the

17
00:00:56.920 --> 00:01:00.719
<v Speaker 1>kind of the Napoleonic history, and we were talking a

18
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit on the pre show things that I've been covering,

19
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>which are the Knights of Malta and Napoleon kicked them

20
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 1>out of Malta in seventeen ninety eight, and then Walter

21
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>was telling me hired them back, which I was not

22
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.079
<v Speaker 1>aware of. But it is an interesting part of kind

23
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>of Western civilization. And there's a lot about Napoleon that

24
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.359
<v Speaker 1>reaches our shores here in the US that Walter can

25
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>talk more about. So Walter was the show.

26
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>It's good to be back, William.

27
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, excellent. So for people who haven't heard our earlier shows,

28
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can do a little overview of your writing

29
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>and your web your YouTube channel, your website, what you've

30
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 1>been up to, and then what led to the publication

31
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 1>of Esoteric Napoleon.

32
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Sure, well, I was a for a long time. I

33
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>was a you know, I wrote fiction and aspiring to

34
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 2>be published writer, wrote screenplays, and I wrote my first

35
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>nonfiction book in two thousand seven. That's Latitude thirty three

36
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>Key to the Kingdom, which was my investigation into strange engineering.

37
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to use overuse the word esoteric, but metaphysical.

38
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.599
<v Speaker 2>What have you engineering of Disneyland, the original park in California?

39
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 2>And you know, one thing leads to another, and the

40
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:34.560
<v Speaker 2>next three books I write focus on this cold case

41
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 2>which at the time I learned about it was almost

42
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>one hundred years It was like ninety six ninety seven

43
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.800
<v Speaker 2>years prior. It happened in Samernandino in nineteen fifteen, and

44
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.879
<v Speaker 2>that was wow. That kicked off a seven year period

45
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>of my life. That was the Empire of the Wheel trilogy.

46
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>And after that I wanted to break from such dark

47
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>material as was in that Empire of the Whale series, and

48
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>so I wrote my first book in what I call

49
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the Secret Mission series, which is where I look at

50
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 2>historical figures, explorers in the case of Napoleon, of course,

51
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>a military leader and you know, national leader, and these

52
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.360
<v Speaker 2>are historical figures who I found evidence to argue that

53
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.039
<v Speaker 2>they had kind of as the title of the series implies,

54
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 2>a secret mission. For instance, the first book was Abou

55
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Juan Cabrio, and I lay out in there how his

56
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 2>whole expedition Expiration of California, had an ulterior motive that

57
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>had to do with the templars and lost treasure and

58
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>things like that. And then the second book was The

59
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 2>Lost Expedition of Sir Richard Francis Burton. That's Secret Missions two,

60
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>and in that I go into this curious missing four

61
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.159
<v Speaker 2>and a half month period of his life that he

62
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>did not write about. Now, Richard Francis Burton wrote profusely

63
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.879
<v Speaker 2>about everything he did. I mean, some of the most

64
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.759
<v Speaker 2>boring stuff you'll ever read are the things he wrote

65
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.240
<v Speaker 2>about his journeys and expeditions, except for this four month

66
00:04:20.279 --> 00:04:23.879
<v Speaker 2>period that he was in the wilderness the jungles of

67
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 2>South America, and to this day we don't know what

68
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.519
<v Speaker 2>he did. So you know my hypothesis that he was

69
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:37.000
<v Speaker 2>secretly exploring lost cities and other megalithic mysteries and ancient

70
00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 2>mysteries that are very popular with us today. Well, from there,

71
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I did a book on Ambrose Bierce, who famously disappeared

72
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 2>in nineteen thirteen after declaring more than once in print

73
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 2>that he wanted to disappear off into South America. To

74
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>this day, we don't know what happened to Ambrose Biers.

75
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And in that book I explore what his secret mission

76
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>may have been, because there's evidence that he was a

77
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Secret Service agent from the end of the Civil War

78
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.839
<v Speaker 2>until he disappeared. So in each of my books, and

79
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 2>particularly in each of the Secret Missions books, somewhere along

80
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the way and the research I turn up something or

81
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 2>stumble upon something that has led to the next book.

82
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.279
<v Speaker 2>While in the case of Napoleon Bonaparte, I had for

83
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 2>several years been curious about this legend that he had

84
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 2>spent a night in the King's chamber of the Great Pyramid,

85
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 2>and when he emerged from the pyramid, he was just

86
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 2>pale and just why, just nervous and freaked out. And

87
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 2>when he was asked, hey, you know what happened in there,

88
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 2>he said, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.

89
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.759
<v Speaker 2>And I've always found this story intriguing. But I didn't

90
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 2>know much about Napoleon Bonaparte other than that and what

91
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>we're taught in movies in school. Well, I came across

92
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>a book in a used bookstore, Bonaparte in Egypt, by

93
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Christopher Harold. I think it was written in the thirties

94
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 2>or forties, and I thought, well, you know, this is

95
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>interesting because I'm also interested in the Louisiana purchase. Right,

96
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's interesting that you know he owned this

97
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.560
<v Speaker 2>and he sells it to the United States, practically gives

98
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.040
<v Speaker 2>it to us. Well, when I'm reading the book Bonaparte

99
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 2>in Egypt, I'm learning all sorts of things about this man.

100
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 2>That were never taught that. He was fascinated with science

101
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and ancient history and technology and things like that. He

102
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.800
<v Speaker 2>was really into the things that you know, I'm into

103
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of us are into. And he was

104
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>criticized by some of his military officers because when he

105
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 2>went on his Egyptian expedition, he took what they call

106
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>these savants. These were the guys who were the scientific

107
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:05.959
<v Speaker 2>genius of their day, engineering, ancient history, languages, linguistics, alchemy,

108
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:10.639
<v Speaker 2>and several of them were freemasons, okay, and he took

109
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of them and gave them, you know, they

110
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:19.480
<v Speaker 2>got upper class status on the ships heading down there,

111
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>and they were to be treated with respect. And this

112
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:28.959
<v Speaker 2>wasn't just an expedition of military conquest, okay, this was

113
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, he was as interested in the ancient history

114
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.839
<v Speaker 2>of Egypt as he was anything. And he wanted to

115
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 2>block the British access to India if he could, because

116
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to go on to India. So he was

117
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:48.839
<v Speaker 2>fascinated with ancient history and lost civilizations and you know,

118
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.519
<v Speaker 2>esoteric thought and metaphysical technologies and all this stuff that

119
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 2>we're into today. And the more I read about him,

120
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.879
<v Speaker 2>the more I got a completely different view than what

121
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:09.120
<v Speaker 2>we're taught. He wasn't just this brooding megalomaniac that was

122
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 2>all about his power and his ego. I learned that

123
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>that reputation is the product of, you know, by now

124
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 2>over two hundred years of quite frankly British propaganda and nonsense.

125
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:27.959
<v Speaker 2>But in this I also learned that in eighteen oh two,

126
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 2>when France got the Louisiana territory back, and I knew

127
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>this when I was doing the first book. I learned

128
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 2>it when I was doing the first book, Napoleon ordered

129
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>his Navy secretary decree to put together a special team

130
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 2>and under strictest secrecy, to send them to explore the

131
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.879
<v Speaker 2>Louisiana territory. Okay, and so they had about a year

132
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 2>before we know that the sale was made to the

133
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>United States, for this team to be secretly exploring looking

134
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>for something. But we never we never see any I've

135
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 2>not found any documentation yet, and I've been looking that

136
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 2>it happened, or what they found, what the result was

137
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 2>if they found, you know, whatever it was they were

138
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 2>looking for. So I was fascinated about this. And when

139
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>you know anything about Thomas Jefferson at the time, he

140
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 2>had the largest personal library in what was the United

141
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.399
<v Speaker 2>States back then, Okay, And he was a guy who

142
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 2>was fascinated with ancient history and you know, architecture and

143
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 2>all these mysteries, and also India. He was John Adams

144
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>had turned him on to India. And we're talking about

145
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:48.840
<v Speaker 2>Thomas Jefferson here. So it was interesting that he makes

146
00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>this deal with Thomas Jefferson, who is a man who

147
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.000
<v Speaker 2>shares a lot of the same interests that Napoleon Bonaparte,

148
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, was enthused about. And so this this really

149
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:04.600
<v Speaker 2>fascinated me. And when you throw in that Meriwether Lewis

150
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>of the Lewis and Clark expedition, right, he gets he's

151
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 2>murdered within three years after his expedition through the Louisiana

152
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.879
<v Speaker 2>territory occurs. And so the whole thing, all of this

153
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>is in the mix Napoleon and what I learned about

154
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:27.399
<v Speaker 2>him and his interests, the secret expedition that he orders

155
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to explore the Louisiana territory, and then this this whole

156
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.720
<v Speaker 2>thing about Meriwether Lewis being murdered, and it just I

157
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 2>had to write this book, this this second volume. You know,

158
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.360
<v Speaker 2>about all of this so.

159
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty amazing. So it's almost like an intercontinental story.

160
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.519
<v Speaker 1>So if he bought the Louisiana purchase was sold in

161
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.519
<v Speaker 1>eighteen oh two, Lewis and Clark is eighteen oh four, right,

162
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.360
<v Speaker 1>so these are like uh bates or something like that.

163
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, they I think they started in late eighteen

164
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:02.279
<v Speaker 2>oh three with all the hiring of the people, but

165
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 2>it was mostly eighteen o fourth through eighteen oh six

166
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.720
<v Speaker 2>was the Lewis and Clark expedition.

167
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Just this huge swath of land purchased.

168
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it doubled it literally, maybe even a little more

169
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 2>than doubled the size of the United States. And Jefferson

170
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>he made the purchase on executive order, without authority or

171
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>permission from the Congress. And when they found out, they

172
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 2>were livid, you know, until it was explained to them. Ay,

173
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and the War of eighteen twelve, if it wasn't fully explained,

174
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>that fully got them on board, because you know, by

175
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Napoleon selling us this, he effectively prevented the British from

176
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>controlling the Mississippi and being able to squeeze us from

177
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 2>the seaboard to the Ate.

178
00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Right, there's the famous Battle of Andrew Jackson eighteen twelve

179
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>or something like that.

180
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.399
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, the Battle of New Orleans, which was actually

181
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 2>fought after the war at officially they just didn't know, I.

182
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Didn't know, but it was a famous kind of stoppage. Yeah.

183
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 2>So yes, yeah, it's still they were still even the

184
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.559
<v Speaker 2>British navy guys didn't know that it was over, and

185
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.279
<v Speaker 2>they wanted to They wanted to get up that river.

186
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. No, it's incredible. So I mean it was sold.

187
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.039
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was to the purpose of Napoleon selling

188
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>it was to gain coinage for his wars or whatever,

189
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>just to pay off debts.

190
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, and and and also to kind of flip

191
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:33.039
<v Speaker 2>the bird to the British to make it harder for them,

192
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.159
<v Speaker 2>you know when you know, because he knew they were

193
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna they were still you know, miffed at us for

194
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 2>embarrassing their glorious empire with our revolution. The fact that

195
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 2>we we you know, really just stubbornly stuck it out.

196
00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, they burnt down Washington in eighteen twelve. So

197
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the White House, the the you know marks the charm

198
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.879
<v Speaker 2>one from it being burnt down a few walks. And

199
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 2>this is part of the fact that twice they tried

200
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Speaker 2>to subdue us twice. They failed. This is a great

201
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>reason why they're animus against Napoleon, fired up even more

202
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 2>because we had embarrassed them really on the international stage,

203
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, in front of their peers, and now here

204
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:30.279
<v Speaker 2>was Napoleon leading France, and there was nothing he couldn't

205
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>acomplish except building a good navy. That that was the

206
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>thing he could never do, was get a really great navy.

207
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, if he had been able to, I would

208
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.759
<v Speaker 2>say that the British would have lost. But but yeah,

209
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:52.159
<v Speaker 2>they they were just so so fanatically hateful of him,

210
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and they stirred up the their European peers. When I

211
00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 2>say that, I mean their dynastic, dynastic peers and their

212
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:06.279
<v Speaker 2>oligarch peers, you know, because what Napoleon would do. You know,

213
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:11.879
<v Speaker 2>I read, my gosh, almost seven thousand pages of biographical

214
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 2>and historical material on Napoleon Bonaparte, dating from written during

215
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.159
<v Speaker 2>his lifetime on up to you know, just a few

216
00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:22.639
<v Speaker 2>years ago, and in the centuries in between. And when

217
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.399
<v Speaker 2>you actually dive into the story of Napoleon and you

218
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:29.919
<v Speaker 2>read all these different histories, if you don't come away

219
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.879
<v Speaker 2>with a different view of the man, then you're just

220
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:35.360
<v Speaker 2>being stubborn. You're just saying, you know, I just want

221
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>to cling to the status quo because you know, you

222
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.840
<v Speaker 2>find out, like I was telling you before, how all

223
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>but one of the so called Napoleonic Wars were started

224
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.639
<v Speaker 2>by the British and the European allies. He only started

225
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 2>one one, and it wasn't the first one that kicked

226
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:56.320
<v Speaker 2>all this off.

227
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean there were I mean, there's so many different

228
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>war famous Battle Austerlitz and all. The recent movie that

229
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.679
<v Speaker 1>came out, right.

230
00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, which I was disappointed with that, uh, partially

231
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Speaker 2>that that actually is a well made film, and it

232
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:19.159
<v Speaker 2>actually tells the story of he and of Napoleon and

233
00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Josephine really well, because they did have that kind of relationship,

234
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 2>even the parts that made everybody snicker that that was

235
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 2>part of the historical record. Well, you know, one of

236
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 2>her maids I think they mentioned in the movie, but

237
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that's true. One of one of the housemaids had sold

238
00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.919
<v Speaker 2>the dirty letters that he had written to Josephine from

239
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 2>various places, and the newspapers of the day published these things.

240
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it was, yeah, it was, and so he

241
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 2>was livid and embarrassed, and you know, so the film

242
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.919
<v Speaker 2>really captured that well. But it it Ridley Scott disappointed

243
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 2>me with he fell back on the Napoleon propaganda, making

244
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 2>him look like a crazy nut. And you know it just.

245
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 1>It couldn't have been that crazy because he kept winning

246
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.200
<v Speaker 1>battles almost all the way to the end.

247
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.200
<v Speaker 2>He was beating them at their own empire game. And

248
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>that's the other thing that really pissed off the British.

249
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:15.720
<v Speaker 2>And just so people understand, when you hear me in

250
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the context talking about Napoleon and things like this, when

251
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I refer to the British, I'm referring to the oligarchy.

252
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm referring to the monarchy. I'm referring to their elites.

253
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:28.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not referring to the British people. Because even in

254
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>those days, the British leadership was worried that he would

255
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.919
<v Speaker 2>win over the British people because they were hearing a

256
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 2>lot of them were hearing things from other sources and going, hey,

257
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, we were kind of interested in this guy,

258
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, because what he was doing, this is what

259
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.679
<v Speaker 2>you don't learn in school or in the movies. He

260
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.360
<v Speaker 2>would go in and yes the countries that he would defeat,

261
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:53.960
<v Speaker 2>and that he would conquer, he would set them up

262
00:16:54.000 --> 00:17:00.639
<v Speaker 2>on a much more democratic leaning system and they were

263
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 2>realizing pretty quickly, oh wow, wait a minute, we kind

264
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 2>of have freedom, more freedom than we did before. And

265
00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 2>he's improving our municipalities, okay. And what was happening was

266
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 2>he was improving the lives of the common people in

267
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.039
<v Speaker 2>these countries that he conquered. Well, you know, the dynasties

268
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 2>and the oligarchies, they can't have that because they got

269
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 2>to keep the people down. Historians generally credit Napoleon Bonaparte

270
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 2>with being the one figure who ended officially formally the

271
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>feudal system. The feudal system still existed, and Napoleon Bonaparte

272
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and what he did it officially pretty much brought to

273
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:46.519
<v Speaker 2>an end the feudal system in Europe. And they hated

274
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>him for that.

275
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe it. I believe it. Right. So he's coming

276
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:54.319
<v Speaker 1>after the French Revolution, right, so.

277
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he was an officer during the revolution. Yeah.

278
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Right, So he's having these battles against the royalist forces. Right.

279
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's the interesting thing. He was he didn't like

280
00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 2>the royalists. Okay, he wasn't on their side. He was

281
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:18.720
<v Speaker 2>on the side of you know, the the revolutionaries until

282
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 2>until the terror started. Now, the terror, of course, as

283
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 2>we know, is when they really started going crazy and

284
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 2>chopping everybody's heads off. Okay, and Napoleon wrote letters these

285
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker 2>are part of the historical record in which he said

286
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:36.880
<v Speaker 2>that was the point at which they kind of lost

287
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.440
<v Speaker 2>him because he said, they're going too far. They're ruining

288
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the cause with all this insane bloodshed. So he kind

289
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.359
<v Speaker 2>of stopped short of he was on their side in

290
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 2>the revolution, but he stopped short once they just started

291
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:53.960
<v Speaker 2>going into a killing frenzy.

292
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.279
<v Speaker 1>Right, it was Robustpierre, I guess.

293
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:00.759
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, well, I mean they started killing their own

294
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.920
<v Speaker 2>revolutionary leaders. That tells you how nuts they went.

295
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 1>Ended up in the jaws of the tiger, so to speaks.

296
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:10.720
<v Speaker 1>So he came through all that. I mean, what other

297
00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 1>things would you say about the record of Napoleon are

298
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 1>more authentic than what you're told through you know, British propaganda,

299
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>who've always propagandized against their enemies.

300
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:27.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. The The one of the best sources I can

301
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:33.319
<v Speaker 2>tell people is to read the books by a British

302
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.559
<v Speaker 2>historian named Andrew Roberts, who takes a lot of crap

303
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.960
<v Speaker 2>from his peers. He wrote a book. He's written a

304
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.920
<v Speaker 2>few books on Napoleon, but the one you should read

305
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>is Napoleon the Great, and he lays out in his

306
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:49.559
<v Speaker 2>books and in lectures you can find online, he lays

307
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:55.519
<v Speaker 2>out the reason why Napoleon's reputation in an image and

308
00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:00.519
<v Speaker 2>name deserves a rehabilitation from the British propaganda, from the

309
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, the oligarchic propaganda, because he lays out detail

310
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:10.000
<v Speaker 2>after detail, fact after fact that you know, the the

311
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.000
<v Speaker 2>popular image of this man is not an accurate image,

312
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:18.519
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it's really not right because to this day,

313
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:24.720
<v Speaker 2>things that Napoleon did envisioned in in under his leadership

314
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 2>and guidance, you know, exists to this day. The way

315
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.599
<v Speaker 2>cities are laid out and municipalities are run, this is

316
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 2>this can be traced back to you know, Napoleon's French Empire.

317
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:46.640
<v Speaker 2>And he really was a genius for uh state administration. Okay, Now,

318
00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:48.400
<v Speaker 2>what's interesting Napoleonic code.

319
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.279
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people don't know that as well. So yeah,

320
00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:53.200
<v Speaker 1>it's different code because of him.

321
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, as far as him being this despot and

322
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, this this crazy emperor. You know, people say, oh,

323
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>he crowned himself.

324
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:03.920
<v Speaker 1>You know.

325
00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 2>What he did was when the pope was going to

326
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.000
<v Speaker 2>put the crown on his head. The popes were known,

327
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.559
<v Speaker 2>they'd done this since Charlemagne. What the popes would do

328
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 2>when they crowned a French king was they'd throw in

329
00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.839
<v Speaker 2>their little Latin phrase that basically said, the Church is

330
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:26.680
<v Speaker 2>allowing you to be the emperor. The Church approves. So

331
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 2>when the pope puts the crown on the king's head, well,

332
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:34.200
<v Speaker 2>what happened with Napoleon was the pope lifted the crown,

333
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:37.680
<v Speaker 2>Napoleon took it out of his hands. Napoleon never put

334
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.359
<v Speaker 2>it on his head. He held it above his head,

335
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:42.440
<v Speaker 2>and he did it with his own hands. And the

336
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:46.039
<v Speaker 2>statement that he was making was I represent the people,

337
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 2>and it's the people putting this crown on my head,

338
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:54.799
<v Speaker 2>not the Church not annointed, right, Yeah, because he was

339
00:21:55.559 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 2>very mindful of the political peccadillos of the Vatican, and

340
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:04.480
<v Speaker 2>he's like, no, no, the Church in France is not

341
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:05.599
<v Speaker 2>in charge of France.

342
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:08.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's it's the king had just been beheaded, right,

343
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>king and Antoinette or whatever. So, I mean he's proud

344
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.640
<v Speaker 1>to have been very sensitive to that. He didn't say

345
00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I found the crown, or maybe he wrote it, I

346
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 1>found the crown in the gut room.

347
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I think he wrote it. I don't recall him saying

348
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 2>it at the coronation, but you know, after he does that,

349
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:35.039
<v Speaker 2>he hands you know, sets at a side or something,

350
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 2>and and all this stuff about him being this stiff,

351
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, humorless megalomaniac. When at the coronation, he and

352
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Josephine and his entourage they had gone to the wrong door,

353
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and so they're standing in the side at the wrong

354
00:22:50.839 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 2>door and they find us out at the last minute,

355
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and Napoleon makes some joke like, oh my god, I'm

356
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:58.440
<v Speaker 2>such an idiot, you know, that kind of thing, and

357
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.039
<v Speaker 2>they kind of laughed embarrassed. You know, the guy had

358
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.799
<v Speaker 2>a good sense of humor about himself, particularly when he

359
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 2>flubbed up. There was one battle it wasn't Waterloo. It

360
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:13.319
<v Speaker 2>was laid in the game there when he started getting

361
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.480
<v Speaker 2>distracted and he you know, lost a couple of battles.

362
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:19.759
<v Speaker 2>There was one that they were racing away from he

363
00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>had to flee, and as he was riding away, one

364
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:27.000
<v Speaker 2>of his generals was next to him and and he says, well,

365
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:29.839
<v Speaker 2>I really we really screwed that one up, didn't we

366
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.279
<v Speaker 2>And he was just kind of like, oh, shoot, you know,

367
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:35.400
<v Speaker 2>what a dummy, you know kind of thing. And so

368
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:40.319
<v Speaker 2>this man actually had a much much more human personality

369
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:44.440
<v Speaker 2>and sense of humor. But he was a genius. I mean,

370
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:49.359
<v Speaker 2>his military tactic, his military style and knowledge is studied

371
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.000
<v Speaker 2>in war colleges to this day. That's what a brilliant

372
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.000
<v Speaker 2>you know. He was an artillery officer, you know, primarily,

373
00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:01.920
<v Speaker 2>but his first love, his real love, was ancient history

374
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:07.720
<v Speaker 2>and these lost civilizations kind of stuff. And when after

375
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Waterloo happened and he knew, you know, that's it, I'm

376
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.559
<v Speaker 2>not emperor around after the second time my political career,

377
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 2>he said, I don't want a political career anymore. What

378
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:20.400
<v Speaker 2>he was doing was he was pulling together. He pulled

379
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:25.440
<v Speaker 2>together a library and field equipment. Okay, and he declared,

380
00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:28.559
<v Speaker 2>he told his brother and a couple of others, he said, look,

381
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go to America and just spend the

382
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.519
<v Speaker 2>rest of my life in literally you know, scientific exploration

383
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.319
<v Speaker 2>and study. And that's what he wanted to do. He

384
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.519
<v Speaker 2>even said, I'm going to go out and explore California.

385
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>But I just forget this. I'm going to go to

386
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the Americas. So that's why it's kind of weird that

387
00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:54.640
<v Speaker 2>he so easily stuck behind and let himself be arrested

388
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:57.559
<v Speaker 2>by the British. Because here's a little thing that you're

389
00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 2>also not taught in school and in the movies. A

390
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 2>US Navy frigate was sent to France and was off

391
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:13.039
<v Speaker 2>the coast of not La Rochelle. I can't they It

392
00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>begins with an arm doing a brain dumb. The city

393
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.240
<v Speaker 2>they were in where the British arrested him. A US

394
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 2>frigate Navy ship arrives in a little a boat, A

395
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:28.319
<v Speaker 2>small craft is sent with two US Navy officers waiting

396
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 2>for him. Okay, and they let it be known we're

397
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.319
<v Speaker 2>waiting to bring the emperor to America. And Napoleon's brother Joseph,

398
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.079
<v Speaker 2>who looked astonishingly like him and had been used as

399
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 2>a double for Napoleon during his lifetime for security purposes.

400
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>The witnesses there, the people there with him, documented this.

401
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.400
<v Speaker 2>This is documented history. His brother Joseph begged him switch

402
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 2>places with me. They'll never know the difference until it's

403
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 2>too late. There's a navy ship, you, an American Navy

404
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.839
<v Speaker 2>ship waiting to take you to the States get on

405
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>that vote now, and we're taught that Napoleon, after gathering

406
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 2>all his stuff to go explore the Americas like he

407
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:16.839
<v Speaker 2>said he was going to do, okay, we're told that

408
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:19.839
<v Speaker 2>he says, no, I'm going to trust the British. They're

409
00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.319
<v Speaker 2>going to treat me like a gentleman, you know, and

410
00:26:23.359 --> 00:26:26.400
<v Speaker 2>that he didn't take Joseph up on the deal. But

411
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:30.960
<v Speaker 2>here's the interesting thing. I don't even say Napoleon was

412
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.400
<v Speaker 2>on Saint Helena. I call them the Bonaparte refugee because

413
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.039
<v Speaker 2>I believe they did switch places. And that's not original

414
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:43.359
<v Speaker 2>with me. That's something that some scholars have increasingly believed

415
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:46.359
<v Speaker 2>for the last fifty years that he did switch places

416
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:50.519
<v Speaker 2>with Joseph. But here's the interesting thing. While the Bonaparte

417
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:54.240
<v Speaker 2>refugee on Saint Helena was being interviewed by a British

418
00:26:54.359 --> 00:27:00.960
<v Speaker 2>historian assigned by the authorities in England to interview Napoleon,

419
00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 2>so to speak, we are told he comes back and

420
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:07.640
<v Speaker 2>reports to his superiors. He goes, I don't think this

421
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.279
<v Speaker 2>is Napoleon, guys, I really don't think this is him.

422
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>And you know, we're not told what he was told,

423
00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:20.880
<v Speaker 2>and Joseph Bonaparte, look it up. So called Joseph, I

424
00:27:20.880 --> 00:27:24.279
<v Speaker 2>put air quotes around the first name is known to

425
00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:27.920
<v Speaker 2>history to have lived in the United States until the

426
00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:32.359
<v Speaker 2>eighteen thirties. Late eighteen thirties. He lived in Philadelphia, he

427
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:36.480
<v Speaker 2>lived in New Jersey. And on the one on the

428
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:40.119
<v Speaker 2>street in Philadelphia, I believe it was, he's walking down

429
00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:43.480
<v Speaker 2>the street and a frenchman comes up and says, mon Emperor,

430
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and we're told that. Joseph says, oh, no, no, you're mistaken.

431
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm his brother Joseph. And the guy says, no, no, no,

432
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.759
<v Speaker 2>I know my emperor. You know this guy had been

433
00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:01.240
<v Speaker 2>a personal guard of Napoleons. Okay, so you know, so yes.

434
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:03.880
<v Speaker 2>In the first book, the last part of the book

435
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.039
<v Speaker 2>is I lay out that I think I do believe.

436
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm one of those that believes he took up the

437
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.319
<v Speaker 2>offer and traded identities with his brother Joseph. I explained

438
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:16.240
<v Speaker 2>why and how that could have worked, and it's all basically.

439
00:28:16.279 --> 00:28:21.039
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't the grandson of Napoleon, like in Lincoln's Cabinet

440
00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>or something like that.

441
00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:29.319
<v Speaker 2>The great nephew, Napoleon's younger brother. That younger brother's grandson

442
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:34.400
<v Speaker 2>was Charles Bonaparte and he became secret He was born

443
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.960
<v Speaker 2>in Baltimore, Maryland. He became the Secretary of the Navy

444
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>under Teddy Roosevelt. Interesting Bonaparte, Charles Bonaparte was the Secretary

445
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:50.519
<v Speaker 2>of the Navy who facilitated the return of John Paul

446
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Jones's remains from Paris when they were discovered. But Charles

447
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Bonaparte went on after that to become attorney general, and

448
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:03.519
<v Speaker 2>he created what was known as the Bureau of Investigation,

449
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:08.559
<v Speaker 2>which was federal level, and for twenty years it was

450
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:13.119
<v Speaker 2>the BI. It was known to be lazy and corrupt, unfortunately,

451
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:17.839
<v Speaker 2>and in nineteen twenty eight it became the FBI. So

452
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Charles Bonaparte started the FBI. Really wow as well.

453
00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:27.839
<v Speaker 1>Amazing, so like this is like this amazing history. So

454
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Bonaparte might have been switched out. I mean, it is

455
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 1>a strange life. Like he literally ended his military career

456
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>at a fairly young age forty five or forty sixers. Yeah,

457
00:29:39.200 --> 00:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean in all, like, how many wins did he

458
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 1>even wrote ten wins? He loved Alexander too, He liked

459
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:45.200
<v Speaker 1>to read about Alexander.

460
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, he you know, there were some disasters on

461
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:54.799
<v Speaker 2>the Egyptian expedition, but they, of course are characterized to

462
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 2>make him look evil. And then there's all the nonsense

463
00:29:57.319 --> 00:30:01.599
<v Speaker 2>about him being the first of three ani that Nostradamus predicted.

464
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's the truth about that, Okay, Because I get that

465
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 2>thrown at me all the time, I go, well, that's nonsense.

466
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Because the man who first started that rumor, okay, who

467
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:16.240
<v Speaker 2>wrote about that, this was I think in the late

468
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:19.680
<v Speaker 2>nineteenth century or the very early years of the twentieth century.

469
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:25.160
<v Speaker 2>He based his whole hypothesis on that on a very

470
00:30:25.559 --> 00:30:30.920
<v Speaker 2>bad translation of Nostradamus, and he himself admitted that and

471
00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:35.279
<v Speaker 2>admitted that, nah, it was a bad translation. You know,

472
00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:38.400
<v Speaker 2>essentially he admitted that he made that up. So the

473
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:43.119
<v Speaker 2>whole thing about Nostradamus allegedly, you know, identifying Napoleon as

474
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:47.640
<v Speaker 2>the first Antichrist. People say, but in Nostrodamus's book it says,

475
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling you, folks, that's a bad translation. It's not accurate,

476
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.599
<v Speaker 2>it's not true. Nostrodamus did not really identify it, but

477
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.839
<v Speaker 2>it was part of the propaganda. You know, it just

478
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:01.680
<v Speaker 2>became the thing to do trash Napoleon because hey, we

479
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:03.279
<v Speaker 2>all know he's evil, right.

480
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:05.759
<v Speaker 1>Right, he's an enemy of the royal crown, so if

481
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:08.519
<v Speaker 1>you come from the English speaking world, you're gonna look

482
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.119
<v Speaker 1>at him like.

483
00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:12.119
<v Speaker 2>It's still done today to leaders who aren't.

484
00:31:11.960 --> 00:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Liked he's But it's also interesting, like I think he

485
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 1>was Corsican too, so he's not he's kind of like

486
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:18.480
<v Speaker 1>really Mediterranean.

487
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh he's Italian. He essentially you know, his mother or

488
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:28.039
<v Speaker 2>her last name was Ramalino, she was she was Italian.

489
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:32.839
<v Speaker 2>The man who's supposed to be his father, Carlo Bonaparte,

490
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:38.160
<v Speaker 2>because their names were Bonaparte, and then he francoized it whatever,

491
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, turned it French. When when he got the

492
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:47.519
<v Speaker 2>French you know, some government guy to approve Napoleon and

493
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Joseph to go to school, get them a slot in

494
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.440
<v Speaker 2>military academies in France. So that's when they were turned French.

495
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 2>Napoleon was always kind of teased throughout his life because

496
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:02.920
<v Speaker 2>he spoke French with an Italian accent. He never quite

497
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 2>got the French accent down.

498
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.640
<v Speaker 1>But that's also kind of a place of a lot

499
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of mystery and stuff like that, like old tombs and yeah,

500
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:14.279
<v Speaker 1>other civilizations are all over the place.

501
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>And I was going to say his father and this

502
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:18.559
<v Speaker 2>is all in the first book. But his father, the

503
00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 2>man identified, you know, Carlo Buonaparte, might not have been

504
00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.599
<v Speaker 2>his real father. And I go into all that in

505
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the first book.

506
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:31.359
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, yes, he I mean it really is an interesting life.

507
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:35.799
<v Speaker 1>So he went to so he was in Egypt, and

508
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.559
<v Speaker 1>have you heard the room I think we were talking

509
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to this pre show like he supposedly cannon aated off

510
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 1>the nose.

511
00:32:41.759 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah. The whole thing about the blasting the nose

512
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.680
<v Speaker 2>off of My understanding from the sources when you really

513
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:54.559
<v Speaker 2>look at that, is that it was a group of

514
00:32:54.680 --> 00:33:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Muslims who had done that, and maybe some some third

515
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 2>country nationals as we call them in the military world,

516
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:12.000
<v Speaker 2>who were you know, hired as mercenaries by the French army. Napoleon.

517
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Napoleon would have been appalled at the destruction because think

518
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.720
<v Speaker 2>about it, he brings hundreds of these savants to study.

519
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:27.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Egyptology started with Napoleon's Egyptian expedition. Okay, now

520
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.519
<v Speaker 2>he was a.

521
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.519
<v Speaker 1>Lot of famous French Egyptologists. I mean, one of the

522
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:37.319
<v Speaker 1>original guys who was trying to decipher the glyphs or

523
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.119
<v Speaker 1>whatever they are was French, right, Wasn't that his name?

524
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:40.559
<v Speaker 1>I forgot.

525
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah. Later on we're told that the translation

526
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:50.160
<v Speaker 2>of the Rosetta Stone was of course done by you know,

527
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:55.799
<v Speaker 2>British historians, and I argue in the book that there's

528
00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:59.240
<v Speaker 2>reason to suspect that the translation was done by the

529
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:02.960
<v Speaker 2>French before the year that we're told that it was.

530
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Because here's what's interesting, here's another level of intrigue with Napoleon.

531
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:12.519
<v Speaker 2>One of his officers was Colonel de Hopepool. Okay, now

532
00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:18.000
<v Speaker 2>d'hopepool was the nephew of Madame d'h Hoopoole, whose grave

533
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:23.440
<v Speaker 2>factors heavily in the Rendles Chateau mystery.

534
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 1>That can you explain that to people who don't know

535
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 1>what that is?

536
00:34:26.880 --> 00:34:32.480
<v Speaker 2>In the Rendles Chateau mystery, there is a suspicion, let's

537
00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:36.840
<v Speaker 2>call it an hypothesis, hypothesis that the remains of Mary

538
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Magdalen were buried in France because she had made it

539
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:43.280
<v Speaker 2>to Europe, and you know, her remains are buried in France.

540
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And there was this priest in the late nineteenth century,

541
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Baron Jaer Sognier, father Sognier, who while he is refurbishing,

542
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:58.159
<v Speaker 2>fixing the altar in the church, he's a priest the

543
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:01.000
<v Speaker 2>church that he's assigned to in this little village rend

544
00:35:01.039 --> 00:35:05.079
<v Speaker 2>La Chateau, he finds these documents that were hidden inside

545
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:08.360
<v Speaker 2>the altar, and what he found in the documents was

546
00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:11.679
<v Speaker 2>very shocking. He goes to Paris to talk to the

547
00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:15.239
<v Speaker 2>church authorities, and then after that he seems to have

548
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:19.920
<v Speaker 2>an endless supply of money. The church in Paris and

549
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:22.440
<v Speaker 2>the Vatican leave him alone. They let him do what

550
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:26.320
<v Speaker 2>he wants. He's able to fix roads and everything in

551
00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the village and just live a lifestyle that priests normally,

552
00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:36.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, usually didn't live. And so the intrigue is

553
00:35:36.119 --> 00:35:38.920
<v Speaker 2>that what did he find? What was this information that

554
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:45.679
<v Speaker 2>he found? And part of the mystery is that there's

555
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:52.039
<v Speaker 2>this artist, Nicholas Poissin Poisson who did this painting called

556
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Three Shepherds, which famously has the phrase at an Arcadia ego,

557
00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:58.159
<v Speaker 2>which a lot of people refer to the painting, and

558
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:02.039
<v Speaker 2>it shows these three shepherds at different stages of you know, age,

559
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.880
<v Speaker 2>young man, middle aged man, old man, and there's a

560
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:09.159
<v Speaker 2>skull on the grave site. Well, they're all pointing to

561
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:14.519
<v Speaker 2>this grave site, this tomb and such, and this all

562
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 2>points to an actual grave site where wherein is buried

563
00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:25.519
<v Speaker 2>a woman, Madame de Hoolepool. Okay, and there's all this

564
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:30.199
<v Speaker 2>intrigue as to Okay, the Poissan art points to her,

565
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:35.960
<v Speaker 2>and it all points to Rendla Chateau, and you know, yeah,

566
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.840
<v Speaker 2>that's it right there, you know, the big mystery. And

567
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:48.679
<v Speaker 2>so it's interesting. It's interesting that we have a relative

568
00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:53.519
<v Speaker 2>of Madame de Holepool on the Egyptian expedition. He's an

569
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:57.559
<v Speaker 2>officer in Napoleon's army and he's there with the man

570
00:36:57.840 --> 00:37:02.039
<v Speaker 2>who discovers the Rosetta Stone for the first time. And

571
00:37:02.400 --> 00:37:11.159
<v Speaker 2>the Rosetta Stone physical connections to Madame de Hoolepool's grave marker.

572
00:37:11.320 --> 00:37:16.000
<v Speaker 2>So that's why this whole the whole pool thing, you know, It's.

573
00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:20.039
<v Speaker 1>Rosetta stone was found as part of just a wall somewhere.

574
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.760
<v Speaker 2>The story is is that the the guy who found it,

575
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:29.079
<v Speaker 2>uh literally stepped on it, stumbled upon it. Yeah, in ruins,

576
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:33.199
<v Speaker 2>ancient ruins, now, I you know, suggest in the book

577
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:38.840
<v Speaker 2>that it was that the discovery was a planted discovery,

578
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:46.039
<v Speaker 2>that this had been found under some other means. And yeah,

579
00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:49.559
<v Speaker 2>I think the translation was done before Napoleon even left

580
00:37:49.800 --> 00:37:52.119
<v Speaker 2>Egypt of the Rosetta Stone.

581
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, this is this some people have analyzed

582
00:37:56.039 --> 00:37:58.840
<v Speaker 1>this whole painting. There's like geometric elements to it that

583
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:00.119
<v Speaker 1>go outside like something.

584
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh and here's another thing that's interesting. A descendant of

585
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Nicholas Poissan. He was an officer in Napoleon's army, and

586
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:15.159
<v Speaker 2>when all the Bonapartists after Waterloo fled to the United States,

587
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:18.800
<v Speaker 2>this Poissan became an officer in the US Army and

588
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:22.079
<v Speaker 2>he was a he was an engineering officer. Okay, so

589
00:38:22.199 --> 00:38:27.400
<v Speaker 2>cartography and geography were his things. And uh, that's what

590
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.079
<v Speaker 2>he did for the US Army. So you know, I

591
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:33.199
<v Speaker 2>wonder what might he have known, because there is some

592
00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:37.440
<v Speaker 2>argument to be made that some of Poissan's paintings were

593
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:41.400
<v Speaker 2>pointing to a landscape in America, in the Americas, and

594
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 2>that has to do with all the Arcadia stuff going on,

595
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.119
<v Speaker 2>because at n Arcadia Ego, Right, So they they.

596
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Called the Northern Canada today Arcadia one, they were called Arcadians, right.

597
00:38:55.159 --> 00:38:57.880
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and this is where Cajun comes from. Because

598
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.239
<v Speaker 2>when when the British once again and those that wonderful

599
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:04.519
<v Speaker 2>British Empire forced all those people out of their homes

600
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:09.199
<v Speaker 2>because well they wanted it. They all had to come

601
00:39:09.239 --> 00:39:12.239
<v Speaker 2>down the coast or down you know land, you know,

602
00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.360
<v Speaker 2>across the land, and that's where a lot of them

603
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:18.159
<v Speaker 2>ended up down in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana and

604
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:23.039
<v Speaker 2>the American southeast. And that's where the term Cajun comes from. Arcadian, Arcaguns,

605
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Cajun right, right.

606
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:28.920
<v Speaker 1>It's incredible. History really is something else, like the French

607
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:32.480
<v Speaker 1>world and all that stuff. But yeah, somebody asked and

608
00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the rip dog assid if I've read the writings of

609
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Napoleon had very perverse sexual practices, was possibly the alstro

610
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Coli of his day.

611
00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:45.320
<v Speaker 2>No, those are those are British exaggerations. I mean, unless

612
00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:46.760
<v Speaker 2>you call you know.

613
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Did you have any connection to oral sex?

614
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Is what he wrote about.

615
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:58.480
<v Speaker 1>That you did you have any connections? Tod was in

616
00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the bas Deal when it was overthrown, right.

617
00:40:01.599 --> 00:40:05.400
<v Speaker 2>So did not not in almost seven thousand pages of

618
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:07.920
<v Speaker 2>what I come across it. Yeah, I didn't come across that.

619
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:10.519
<v Speaker 2>And he was not as far as being a Crowley

620
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:13.119
<v Speaker 2>of his day. I didn't find anything where he got

621
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.639
<v Speaker 2>into any kind of black magic either at any kind

622
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:21.119
<v Speaker 2>of magic at all. Low level psychic stuff you know,

623
00:40:21.239 --> 00:40:26.000
<v Speaker 2>he experienced, but nothing seriously. But that's all. That's all

624
00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:28.760
<v Speaker 2>part of that propaganda. Whenever you hear stuff like that,

625
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:30.679
<v Speaker 2>it's all the propaganda.

626
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, it's he He has a much more interesting guy,

627
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:39.679
<v Speaker 1>very I mean incredible talent, like his empire building, a.

628
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:43.559
<v Speaker 2>Much more respectable man than he gets credit for. I

629
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:48.199
<v Speaker 2>I am, you know, pro bonaparte. This this guy he

630
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:51.440
<v Speaker 2>was not perfect, you know what leader is, but he

631
00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:55.360
<v Speaker 2>was not the evil devil, megalomaniac deathspot that so many

632
00:40:55.400 --> 00:40:58.599
<v Speaker 2>people just accept. You know, did you.

633
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Find there was truth to like this stories of him

634
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 1>reading books late into the night by himself and.

635
00:41:04.039 --> 00:41:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Just oh yeah, oh gosh. Yeah. I mean he carried

636
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:12.039
<v Speaker 2>an extensive library on the ship that took him down

637
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.480
<v Speaker 2>to Egypt. I mean he traveled with a library wherever

638
00:41:15.519 --> 00:41:18.000
<v Speaker 2>he went. This guy was a voracious reader. He was

639
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:21.440
<v Speaker 2>fascinated with again, these kind of you know what we

640
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:24.519
<v Speaker 2>would call these Indiana Jones type of interests. He was

641
00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:25.639
<v Speaker 2>fascinated with that.

642
00:41:26.199 --> 00:41:30.719
