Joseph Atwill - The Flavian Creation Of The Jesus Typology



Good interview with Joseph Atwill, containing fascinating and informed discussion. Fun banter from time to time.

Caesar's Messiah - The Roman Conspiracy To Invent Jesus By Joseph Atwill


Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus - Flavian Signature Edition

The thing that intrigued me most when I first learned about this is Joseph Atwill's claim that the Roman Flavian dynasty created Jesus as a typology in much the same way that a thousand years from now only a clever historian might be able to understand that Animal Farm is an allegory 'typology'. 

That's a crude explanation but watch the trailer and you may get a feel for this subject which is crucial for emancipation from the notion that we're here to worship anything other than life itself.

I should be more clear about Joseph Atwill's work.

When I first heard the Flavian's mentioned here I thought who the fuck are they? But the more I learn about them the more sense it makes. The usual way to make a buck from this kind of topic is to use familiar historical figures like Julius Caesar. This is why I groaned at having to learn a new Roman dynasty but I knew deep down there was something to this.

Ben Swann of FOX 19 Shreds My Conspiracy Theory




I've been raving about Ben Swann's incredible show on FOX 19 for a couple of months now (click the FOX tag below) and I finally concluded that maybe he was part of some Rupert Murdoch plea bargain package. 

Nope. 

Turns out the station he works for isn't really a FOX station but a FOX affiliate and that the guy actually knows how to ask questions to political power. On top of that he actually lucked out getting that interview with Obama who does local media on his travels and so we had a real journalist asking real questions in Cincinnati Ohio.

Ben Swann is the real deal. He's a real journalist. I'm gob smacked. Delighted but gobsmacked. Hat's off to Raycom Media and Ben Swann. Superstars.
