I did finally change it to where everything's 69 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.000 all the same names, so you can you can actually 70 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:15.560 find us. But on Instagram, Facebook and uh and YouTube 71 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:22.839 I can. But uh, yeah, just a conspiracy nerd that 72 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.160 stumbled onto some of my own like kind of personal 73 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.439 research and decided to start doing a podcast that's kind 74 00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:35.920 of a conspiracy Virginia based because the more I'm from 75 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.560 Virginia and the more and more I looked into it, 76 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.839 it's like all roads led back to to Virginia with 77 00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.240 all this craps. So so that's that's where we're at. 78 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.199 We've been on hiatus for a couple of months because 79 00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:51.399 I'm moving this studio out of this closet into the 80 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.319 into the garage. So but we'll be back and we've 81 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.000 got some We've got some bangers like in the hole. 82 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:02.000 So but yeah, check us out. 83 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:03.639 Yea, it makes that happen. 84 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:04.319 Now. 85 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.120 The first show, the last show that you did, was 86 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:08.439 yet the Nights of the Golden Circle, the Golden Horseshoe 87 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:08.959 or some shit like. 88 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:11.480 Maybe that we did the Golden Horseshoe, Yeah, Yeah, which 89 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:18.480 was the weird expedition trying to find a pass through 90 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:24.439 the Blue Ridge Mountains by Governor Alexander spots Would and 91 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.800 my whole life, we've all heard the story and it's 92 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.920 it's a nothing story that you hear. There's a little 93 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:34.160 sign in the Blue Ridge mountains, little little obelisk monument 94 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.079 to it. And then, of course, like anything in Virginia history, 95 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:42.519 the more you the more the deeper you get into it, 96 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:47.959 the more it seems weird. And it, in my personal opinion, 97 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.560 by the end of it, it looked like a a 98 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.680 Masonic like maybe the first Masonic ritual to take place, 99 00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:00.560 like kind of officially it happened like seventeen fourteen, just 100 00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:04.199 three years before like Masonry's public you know, like kind 101 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:10.959 of coming out party, and it's we talked about it. It 102 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:18.480 was just a ton of aristocrats on this expedition across 103 00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:22.399 a mountain to supposedly find the pass through the mountains. 104 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.800 But they'd already found the pass, and like the the 105 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:28.079 guides that took them, uh, were the the rangers were 106 00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:29.839 the ones who had already found the pass through the 107 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.519 Blue Ridge. And then they get over the Blue Ridge 108 00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:37.079 and they named the Shenandoah River the Euphrates, and then 109 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:41.800 they crossed the Euphrates and have this big like party 110 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.439 and just all the different people on the expedition were 111 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:55.360 just super glowy Jacobites and Huguenots and Masons and first 112 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.000 kind of Virginia families and then there was this whole 113 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.040 presenting of these guys when they came back with these 114 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:10.800 golden horseshoe pins that had jewels in them, and different 115 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.759 jewels for for different guys. And the guy the only 116 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.560 real account that we have of it is and I 117 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:22.759 can't remember the guy's name now, but that guy was crazy, crazy, 118 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:27.680 interesting Huguenot from Ireland who ended up marrying a woman 119 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:33.720 named Mary Magdalen. And uh, yeah, it's go back and 120 00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:38.079 listen to that one. It's it's weird, man, It's it's. 121 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.279 I remember, I remember. There was a lot to it, 122 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:40.480 Like I felt like there was like a lot of 123 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:41.480 different things. 124 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.040 Wait do you wait? Do you do you hear this nonsense? 125 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.839 I'm gonna awesome at you all right. 126 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.639 So I guess unless anybody's got it something asking or whatever, 127 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:55.759 yes day, maybe you can just start, all right. 128 00:07:57.959 --> 00:07:58.759 If you don't mind me asking. 129 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:00.480 It was just like something you stumble the gros You're like, oh, 130 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:02.959 there's something here or yeah. 131 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:09.079 So I, like I've said before, my personal research is 132 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:16.040 based on Williamsburg. I was born and raised in good 133 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:20.600 old colonial Williamsburg in the shadow of campus of William 134 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.920 and Mary And about seven or eight years ago, I 135 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:29.879 kind of stumbled into I'd probably watched National Treasure or 136 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:33.759 The Da Vinci Code too recently, and happened to be 137 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.639 down buying a gift for somebody in Colonial Williamsburg and 138 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.759 noticed a the two oldest roads in the country, Jamestown 139 00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:50.080 Road and Richmond Road, which kind of create the Historic Campus. 140 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.639 They come to a point like a triangle, and I 141 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.120 think that I saw that, and I was like, I 142 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.519 got to look at this on Google Earth. And then 143 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:59.320 that opened up a ton of stuff to the point 144 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.720 where I took my research to the director of the 145 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.399 Historic Campus and they were kind of blown away, and 146 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.679 I started, you know, digging into it, and it gets 147 00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.159 weirder and weirder, and you eat thinking that I was 148 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.799 kind of too dumb to have figured this stuff out myself, 149 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:18.919 and so I just kept trying to prove myself wrong. 150 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.559 And the more I dug to prove myself wrong, the 151 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:25.080 more crap I found. And then I started to find 152 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.679 some things that were absolutely undeniable, Like I shared on 153 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:31.320 one of the episodes with you guys, the incode of 154 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.559 the Great Pyramid of Giza on that triangle of land 155 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.200 that also points directly to the Great Pyramid of Giza 156 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.440 and is the exact sit So there's all that. So 157 00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:48.279 all my personal research does kind of I say it 158 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.600 revolves around Williamsburg and Virginia, but because of that, that 159 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.440 means it revolves around everything. The beginning of masonry in 160 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.879 this country Francis Bacon, and then from there it just 161 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.240 keeps going back and back and back and forward and 162 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.080 forward and forward. And so for this one, because I 163 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.399 lived in Williamsburg and my mom is a big Shakespeare 164 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:16.320 nerd herself, I've been getting dragged to Shakespeare plays a 165 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.039 year since I was nine years old. So I've seen 166 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:26.720 everything that the entire Shakespeare cannon in every format you 167 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.600 can think of. William and Mary has one of the 168 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:34.960 largest Shakespeare festivals in the country, the Virginia Shakespeare Festival 169 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:43.000 at William and Mary and put together in the Phi 170 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:47.519 Beta Kappa Hall. So I've seen everything from Taming of 171 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:56.200 the Shrew adapted to nineteen twenties like Cuban Cuban Beach 172 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:01.000 styled to you know, like traditional plays and everything in between. 173 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:04.399 And when I was nine, I couldn't say, you know, 174 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.440 I had no idea what they were saying, what was happening. 175 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.080 But the you know, the the older I got, I 176 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.360 kind of learned to speak the language of Shakespeare and 177 00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.759 really kind of fell in love with the plays. And 178 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.919 so really one of the first things that got me 179 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:25.480 into kind of the conspiracy world was the Shakespeare authorship question. 180 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.080 And just to skip over all the because I've got 181 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:37.440 a lot of crap here, but we're in the conspiracy world, 182 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.799 so I don't believe that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, and we 183 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.919 can kind of skip all that. I'm part of the 184 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:48.799 camp that believes Francis Bacon is Shakespeare, and for me 185 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.480 a little differently, I'm not a total Baconian. I think 186 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:59.000 it was more Francis Bacon by committee. He had a 187 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:03.279 literary societ called the Society of the Helmet, who just 188 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.159 so happened to contain like all the members were all 189 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.919 the different people that people put forward as possible shapes 190 00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:17.639 Shakespeare authors. So seventeenth Earl of Oxford, the Countess of Penbroke, 191 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.159 Sir Walter Raleigh, William Stratchey, who will play an important 192 00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.600 role in this research. So all these guys that they've 193 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:32.440 put forward that could be the alternative to who wrote 194 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:37.159 the Shakespeare plays were part of Francis Bacon's literary society 195 00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.120 called the Society the Helmet, named after their patron, muse Athena, 196 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.399 because she wore a helmet and was known to shake 197 00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.720 her spear in her sphere of knowledge in the face 198 00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:52.679 of the beast of ignorance. Right, and then just so 199 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:58.200 happens that a man obsessed with Francis Bacon, a Williamsburg 200 00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:06.480 legend mentored to Thomas Jefferson, is the man who created, uh, 201 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.519 what I think is the best state flag in the Union. 202 00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.759 It's the only flag with a booby on it. And 203 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.720 that's actually, uh, he was obsessed with Francis Bacon. His 204 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.519 name was George with Like I said, he was the 205 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.960 He was Thomas Jefferson's mentor. He was the reason that 206 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.399 Thomas Jefferson became obsessed with Francis Bacon his whole life. 207 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:31.360 And that is actually Atheno wearing her helmet and holding 208 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.879 her spear. That's kind of neither here nor there, But 209 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:35.679 I forgot that that was. 210 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:38.879 I just want to mention real quick, and I mentioned 211 00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:40.799 this a lot of times. I'm just using an excuse 212 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.480 to mention it again. Uh, the woman's nipple hanging out 213 00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.240 that uh, you know in the Knox formula crowley'sox formula. 214 00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:49.840 At some point you you're supposed to be isis like 215 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.080 feeding breastfeeding horse, and you will like you'll make it 216 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:55.279 look like you're holding a baby and grabbing your nipple. 217 00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:01.679 There was a relationship between the nip and the child. 218 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.080 When the child latches its mouth onto the nipple, the 219 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.919 mother's pineal gland will tell the child where it is 220 00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.720 time season, you know where it is even on the planet, 221 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.399 what up and down all is? So, I mean there 222 00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.960 is actually a very weird, interesting, uh panal gland to 223 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:19.320 penal glean conversation going on just from breast reading. 224 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:21.120 Wow times. 225 00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:22.799 I wonder if that has anything to do with so 226 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:23.720 much cult size. 227 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.360 I mean, it's got to. Even if they didn't know 228 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:30.080 it that deeply, they knew that there was that connection 229 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.600 since the beginning of time there. So I said, I 230 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:38.279 wasn't going to get into that whole thing. But Shakespeare 231 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.840 didn't write Shakespeare. His name wasn't even Shakespeare's name was 232 00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:45.039 shagspar And there's no evidence that he was literate or 233 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:48.120 you know, went to school past the fourth grade. The 234 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:51.200 only thing we have of him is his signature on 235 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:55.960 like seven different documents they're all legal documents and his 236 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.960 will because he was kind of a douchebag and cheating 237 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.440 people out of stuff a lot, and so he's always 238 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:08.759 getting drug into court. And all these signatures are spelled 239 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:12.639 differently and in different handwriting, so that probably points to 240 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:16.919 the fact that whoever the other lawyer was or the 241 00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.000 judge was the one who signed his name to it. 242 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.799 So we don't even know that Shakespeare or the guy 243 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:27.039 that they attribute Shakespeare to even was literate. He didn't 244 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.279 own a book that we can tell in his will, 245 00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.919 he doesn't leave any books papers. There's never been a 246 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.960 letter written to him or from him that anybody's ever found. 247 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:42.200 The guy wasn't Shakespeare. Bacon with Shakespeare. So that being said, 248 00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:47.840 I got obsessed with this book here, which is this 249 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.000 gigantic tone that I paid a bunch of money for. 250 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.120 It's a facsimile of the first folio of Shakespeare, the 251 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.799 sixteen twenty three that was put together. It's exactly how 252 00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:03.559 it came out in sixteen twenty three. It's just on 253 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:09.039 new paper and basically took a historic copy and from 254 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.600 one of the museums and photo copied every single page. 255 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.840 So it's exactly the way it came out the very 256 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:18.240 first folio. So I get into Shakespeare, I get into 257 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:20.279 the first folio and some of the weird things that 258 00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.639 go on with that. Of course, that leads leads me 259 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:29.960 to Bacon. And then once you get into Bacon, you 260 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:33.840 obviously you end up down the road of Bacon created 261 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:38.240 masonry by way of Rosicrucianism. You find out that the 262 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:46.440 uh Masons actually claim Shakespeare and Francis Bacon as kind 263 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:54.200 of founding architects, if you will. And then when you 264 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.080 the further you get into masonry, you start to if 265 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:03.919 you dig back from Mason modern masonry, you eventually fall 266 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:12.400 back into the Stuart, the Stewart dynasty, and that leads 267 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:17.400 you back. If you follow the maternal side of that 268 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.200 family all the way back, it ins you. It brings 269 00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.319 you all the way back to the Mayravngians of Dan 270 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:28.480 Brown fame. And really my my overall thesis of of 271 00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:34.160 my research now is that America was beguy in as 272 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.920 in Virginia in particular, as a breakaway civilization for the 273 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:43.240 Stuart dynasty. I think it was facilitated and designed by 274 00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:47.480 Francis Bacon, and then it has been managed and stewarded 275 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.359 by the Scottish rite of freemasonry, sort of a thinly 276 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.960 veiled alternative to the monarchy that they were. But they 277 00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:59.200 could see the writing on the wall that their monarchy 278 00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:04.240 there rain as monarchs in England, Scotland and Ireland, wasn't 279 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:08.000 gonna last long. The Stuart reign was only about one 280 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:13.279 hundred years, and I mean they were deposed several times, 281 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:18.480 kicked off the throne, brought back in, killed, They ran, 282 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.440 They ran the gamut and right at the very beginning 283 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:30.400 of that dynasty, Francis Bacon, working for King James the first, 284 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.640 the first Stuart monarch, right at the beginning of that, 285 00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:42.799 they create the Virginia Company of London and start exploring 286 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.720 the new world, Virginia in particular. And I think that 287 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:49.799 was I really The more and more I get into 288 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.519 this stuff, the more I think that America maybe still 289 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:58.640 but definitely its beginnings were kind of a breakaway place 290 00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.839 for the Stewart kind of ideal and this divine right 291 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:10.079 of kings MAYRAVINGI and bloodline idea, which I don't necessarily 292 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:13.000 believe that they have any special bloodline, but like any 293 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:17.839 other uh you know, monarchy kind of bloodline. I think 294 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:23.960 that this Christ's bloodline divine right of kings was a 295 00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:27.119 story that they used, whether they believed it or not, 296 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:34.160 to kind of imbue their their dynasty with importance. And 297 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.240 I think they saw the right and on the wall 298 00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:40.640 and decided the New World was the place to keep 299 00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.960 that power and that control structure going and and just 300 00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.160 do it with a different with a different face on it. 301 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.799 And I think, right then is where you see America 302 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.559 come up and masonry come up at the same time, 303 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.279 and the monarchy drop off. But then you look at 304 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.039 Scottish right freemasonry and it is I'm about to show 305 00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:10.440 you it's it. Scottish righte Freemasonry connects Kabbala, this book 306 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:18.039 right here, the sixteen eleven King James, Bible, and am 307 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:25.039 I missing something that's in Francis Bacon all together? So? 308 00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:30.039 First off, this first Folio is structured like an initiatory 309 00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.359 ladder and not like any of the kind of anthologies 310 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.559 of its time. The First Folio, I'm sorry, yeah, the 311 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.200 First Folio first book in English history to divide dramatic 312 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:51.240 works into three distinct sections, comedies, histories and tragedies. But 313 00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:57.400 it is identical logic to an initiatory system. In the 314 00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.119 three steps there being purification, advancement, and mastery slash sacrifice 315 00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.880 exactly like a degree system, but published nearly a century 316 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.359 before the Scottish writes thirty three or thirty three degree system. 317 00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:19.920 So if Masonry borrowed from Shakespeare, how did Shakespeare already 318 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.759 arrange his canon? And really not Shakespeare because he didn't exist. 319 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:26.359 But the people who are who did arrange the first 320 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:29.000 folio of Shakespeare? How do they arrange it in a 321 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:35.680 multi stage initiation kind of system. So the sequence of 322 00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:42.000 the plays in the folio kind of mirror that ladder 323 00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:51.920 of like esoteric order. You've got the Tempest, which is 324 00:21:52.000 --> 00:21:56.119 an initiation. I've got a good friend, Robert Frederick. He 325 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.519 has a great podcast called The Hidden Life is Best. 326 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.359 He just became on a whim a Bacon scholar, and 327 00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:10.559 now he digs into all the Shakespeare works and he 328 00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.160 just picks them apart and each i mean two three 329 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:17.880 hour episodes, each one on a different play, and they're incredible. 330 00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:22.519 And so actually what got me onto this particular track 331 00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:27.079 was I was doing a podcast with him and uh, 332 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:29.759 he had just he did the Tempest on my suggestion 333 00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:32.319 because he had done Romeo and Juliet. I think, as 334 00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.960 you like it Macbeth, and he pulled all these Masonic 335 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:39.279 principles out of there and really showed how they were, 336 00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:44.240 you know, almost undeniably written by a rose Crucian for 337 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.279 that specific purpose. And he was asking which one I 338 00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:50.240 thought he should do next, and I was like, the tempest, 339 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:52.480 and the tempest is near and dear to my heart. 340 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:58.519 Because living in Virginia, not a ton of people know this, 341 00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.680 but you know, sixteen seven they sent John Smith and 342 00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:05.680 the whole crew over here, and that whole Pocahontas trip happened, right, 343 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:09.720 And but they kept dying, They kept getting mrked by 344 00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.960 the natives and starving and eating each other. In sixteen 345 00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:16.400 oh eight, they send another supply mission over. They eat 346 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:19.359 all that food, they're all dying out again. So then 347 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:23.279 Francis Bacon takes it upon himself and mounts a massive 348 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:28.160 supply mission, which is nine ships sent from sent from 349 00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:33.279 Plymouth over like six hundred people. They hit a This 350 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:37.839 is in sixteen oh nine, they hit a hurricane right 351 00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:43.279 around Bermuda, and everybody survives except for two small two 352 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:50.319 small ships. And that's a whole another route of research 353 00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:52.880 that I'm doing as well, which was some pretty interesting stuff, 354 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.160 but it's a rabbit hole. So two ships disappear forever. 355 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:02.440 Six ships make it to the So yeah, six ships 356 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.920 make it right away to pretty much right away to 357 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:10.799 James Sound to resupply, and during the hurricane, the largest 358 00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:18.440 of the ships crash lands on Bermuda. Purposely, they shipwreck 359 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:23.440 themselves to avoid the storm, and about one hundred people 360 00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.279 on that I believe it was about one hundred people 361 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:33.359 were on that ship, and they disembarked live on Bermuda 362 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:36.160 for a full year. While they're on Bermuda, they take 363 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.119 apart the old ship, build two new ships, and by 364 00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.559 sixteen to ten they set sail again and they make 365 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:47.799 it over to James Sound. And once they get to Jamestown, 366 00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:50.759 one of the guys who was at Bermuda on the 367 00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:55.480 crash landing, this guy named William Strakie. William Strakey just 368 00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:57.799 happens to be one of those guys who was in 369 00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:04.160 Francis Bacon's literary societ. He gets to Jamestown, he writes 370 00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:08.960 a full report of everything that happens that happened for 371 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:13.079 the year on Bermuda, and he sends it to Francis 372 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:22.160 Bacon's new wife, and in sixteen eleven, William Shakespeare, or 373 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.119 under the name William Shakespeare, a play is published called 374 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.240 The Tempest, and it's all about a crash landing. I 375 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:32.640 mean there's even like six names that are used as 376 00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:35.759 six characters in the play have names that are like, 377 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.799 if the guy's name was John, it would be Ron. 378 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:42.680 I mean they're that close. It's it's ridiculous. The play 379 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.640 The Tempest is about the crash landing on Bermuda that 380 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:49.960 was headed to Virginia. But it is one when you 381 00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.480 break it down, it is an absolute first initiation into 382 00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:59.960 a mystery. It's it's kind of the crappiest of Shakespeare's 383 00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:04.880 I think. And so you have one of Bacon's buddies 384 00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:09.480 writes the Report of what Happened in sixteen ten, and 385 00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.559 in sixteen eleven, that is the last play that this 386 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:16.799 Shakespeare guy ever writes. Right. The weird thing is is 387 00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:21.000 that it appears first ten years ten to fifteen years 388 00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:25.240 later in the sixteen twenty three first folio of Shakespeare, right, 389 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:31.119 thirty six plays and the very last one that he wrote, 390 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.519 and arguably kind of the weirdest and kind of off. 391 00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:42.480 It's like Shakespeare's Twin Peaks. It's it's very strange that 392 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:48.519 gets that gets it's first in the folio. So let's 393 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:50.920 see if I've lost me where I was going next, 394 00:26:50.960 --> 00:26:55.680 but might not have. Okay, here we go, all right, 395 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:06.079 talk amongst yourselves. Okay, So sixteen twenty three, the first 396 00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.519 folio goes out. Oh that's right. So while I'm talking 397 00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:15.960 to Robert Frederick, this Bacon scholar, he's talking about the Tempest, 398 00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:18.839 and he drops it on me that it's an initiation. 399 00:27:19.319 --> 00:27:23.559 It's allegory. The entire Tempest, first play in the folio 400 00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:29.000 of Shakespeare is an initiation allegory. And I start thinking 401 00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.799
