In reply to the discussion: Atheists Skeptical of Atwill’s Claim of a ‘Fabricated Jesus’ [View all]struggle4progress
(118,379 posts)42. Maybe I should write him a letter:
Dear David --
On your recommendation, I read Mr Atwill's book, and I was startled to see that, although his methods are entirely sound, he has gotten the central point very very wrong. In fact, it was obviously not the Flavians who wrote the gospel: it was the Trilateral Commission. And the texts are not actually references to Josephus; rather, they are sly references to the Warren Commission Report. It is possible to prove beyond doubt that these Trilateral Commission forgeries survived the nuclear war of 13 and 14 March 2111 and were then teleported back in time to thirteenth century Italy, where they languished until Leonardo da Vinci handed them to his Illuminati friends who first took them to Rome and then later to Jerusalem. The evidence for this is so straightforward and convincing, that I must wonder whether Mr Atwill has not deliberately foisted a misleading tale on an unsuspecting public, in order to disguise the power of the Trilateral Commission and to obscure their 1969 sale of almost all Americans as slaves to the Federal Reserve -- a bit of history everybody now pretends not to remember. Mayday! Mayday! It is extremely important that you look into this and stop promoting Mr Atwill's misrepresentations! I am also convinced that further research here could implicate the Shriners
