Megatron Must Be Stopped -
No Matter The Cost.





And when that time comes, and you find something standing in front of you, Something that ain't runnin' and ain't backin'-up and is hittin'-on you and your too damn tired to breathe. 

You find that situation on you, that GOOD, 
'cuz that's Baptism Under FIRE!

Oh you get thru that and  you find the only kind of respect that matters in This World -

SELF-Respect

And Then -


You got The Touch

You got The Power

After all is said and done
You've never walked, 
You've never run

You're a winner!

You got The Moves
You know The Streets

Take The Heat

You're Nobody's Fool!

You're at your best 
When The Going gets rough
You've been put to The Test, 
But it's never enough

You got The Touch
You got The Power


When all Hell's breaking loose
You'll be Riding The Eye of The Storm

You got The Heart

You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter!

It's in The Blood, it's in The Will
It's in The Mighty Hands of Steel
When You're Standing Your Ground

And you never get hit when your back's to The Wall
Gonna fight to The End 
And you're taking it all

You've been put to The Test, 
But it's never enough

You got The Touch
You got The Power

Yeah!

You got The Touch
You got The Power



DARE.






When I pretend - 

Everything is what I want it to be
I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see

When I pretend -

I can't forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can

But -
I can't pretend that this is they way it'll stay -

I'm just (trying to bend The Truth)
I can't pretend of who you want me to be 
So I'm (lying my way from -)

If you feelin' like a pimp, nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggas is crazy, baby, don't forget that boy told you

Get - That - Dirt off your shoulder

I probably owe it to y'all, probably be locked by The Force
Tryin' to hustle some things that go with the Porsche
Feelin' no remorse, feelin' like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the law, nigga, grippin' my balls
Said the ladies, they love me
From the bleachers they screamin'
All the ballers is bouncin', they like the way I be leanin'
All the rappers be hatin' off the track that I'm makin'
But all the hustlers, they love it, just to see one of us make it
Came from the bottom of bottom, to the Top of the Pops
Nigga, London, Japan and I'm straight off the block

Darth Vader And Us









The Universe, The Earth is being shaken to it's core  -

And this is just the beginning of a gigantic collapse of those forces that have instigated violence upon The Earth and an all-out assault against Nature and an all-out assault against life which is a creation God

And I'm not I'm not limiting it to the White House or the United States or whatever it's just it's against people whose minds are dark to the reality of The Light that is God who gave us the Magnificent Creation of our forests or trees people animals all of these things who have been so badly mistreated by the systems of The World.


So when the things happened with The Church and this as well as the Clinton affair with Monica Lewinsky and all of that stuff I immediately took the biblical scripture that pointed to the time of The Man with the Pitcher of Water, Aquarius.

In this scripture Jesus talked about things that we're seeing right now Matthew 10:26 


"...feared them not for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed and nothing hid that shall not be known"


And you know, he's wasn't talking about a religious thing, he wasn't talking about a God Thing he was talking about this Age of Aquarius -

Because he was very cognizant of the sign of The Man With The Pitcher of Water, he told us about that he was very cognizant about Uranus because he said

"The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand."


In the words he spoke were Greek and in Greek the word for heaven is Uranos

So that you feel the things that you have seen the Fury of Nature 

The revelation about the sexual assaults against children by The Religious

The bringing down of the World Trade Center

The killings that flourish around The World stimulated by religious fanatics of all kinds including Muslims, Christians, Jews...


All of it when I told you over and over each chapter in this bizarre drama cold life brings us closer to the core which will finally see the shaking down of these people who deceive who lie and who kill for motives only known to themselves you can't experience these things without hanging on to your chair and thinking what's next because the power of Uranus and the shaking is coming upon the earth are not ending


This is just The Beginning 

And that's why it's so important that you understand about the things of hidden words, we call hidden worlds we call parallel universes 


And the existence of Those Who at One Time Lived with Us and Now Live There -

So in plain language I speak of Life After Death of The Physical Body


Now, you would take that that people would say that time when I showed you Sir William Crookes' picture with Katie King, you know, and the idea was, all you know he's saying somebody's come back from The Dead - No he wasn't.


Katie King was alive - Katie King was always alive 

Katie King never died 
 
Her body died

This hidden truth about life after death is so close to being revealed so close to the point where you will actually physically see and communicate with those who you think are dead and you think they're dead because of the training that has been given to you.

So we've been setting a foundation for this opening which is is going to happen and as you watch these things sit back for a moment and then think about you know what we've spoken of here that there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed there's I want to show you a couple of things of interest which is a news article about the Catholic Church.

And I must shout being a former Catholic Church person "Hooray! Hooray for the Catholic Church!". Let me show you what they say.

They said:

"The Catholic Church no longer trust the Bible Catholic Bishops declare that the story the beginning of the world told in the Bible is full of contradictions" - do you think maybe they've been watching this program well maybe they went to our website hey it doesn't matter how long it takes but rather if people finally wake up.

So we'll score another one for Uranus and Aquarius.

But let's let's see what they say and see if you've heard something like this before when you came here right at this moment :

"British Bishops declare that the story of the beginning of the world told in the Bible is full of contradictions resembles the legends of other ancient East people and cannot be considered historical at best it contains just a few elements of historical truth.

They also deny the doomsday machine in the book of Revelation the authors of the document are sure the symbolic language of the book should not be interpreted literally


So I have a great round of applause that somebody you know has gotten it and I can you imagine that they are shoe or that the book of Revelation should not
be interpreted literally.

And I would say to you "No kidding!" I mean the thought of frogs coming out of the dragon's mouth and the beasts with ten's heads I know I've never really considered that to be real but I guess at one time they did but doesn't it frighten you that peoplehave to finally assure other people that these things are not literal but I'll tell you there's a problem with this finding and let me show you what that  problem is and look at the next one -

Here, they go on the authors of the document offer a simple criterion of judging what is true or not in scriptures - They say everything the Bible says about The Salvation is True, and at the same time it that we cannot expect total accuracy from the Bible is concerning other worldly issues.

And what's that saying is you pick and choose is what you want to be true it depends on what your particular culture your particular group says we want this to be True - but we don't believe that's True.

So in other words, the part of Jesus being crucified is True but the part about hundreds of people getting out of graves and strolling downtown to the mall,  that's not, you know - that's not literal.

This type of mentality is what drives The World into this violent nightmare that we've always seen : anti-nature, anti-caring it's become totally at odds with creation because They pick and choose.

If you have a book,  and it's a book of symbols in part of it you can't say "That's symbols and this is real", the whole thing is either one or the other -

And since it cannot conceivably be literal, that somebody can talk to a snake or talk to a donkey then the book is symbolic.

But they can't they can't, they can't deal with that because there's something in there they want to be real, because they've based their corporation on it.

But I wholeheartedly support the fact that they now realize that it's not literal there was another news report from The Church, The Catholic Church - which leads me further to consider that they must have been listening to the show over at The Vatican  :


"The Faithful should listen to Science 
Associated Press in November the 4th 
Vatican City 

Cardinal Paul Pophorde who heads the Pontifical Council for culture made the following comment at a news conference and a Vatican project to help end the mutual prejudice between religion and science Peppard said Thursday the faithful should listen to what secular modern science has to offer warning that religion risk turning into fundamentalism if it ignores scientific reason."

The Cardinal must have showed come here or something maybe you don't listen to Dawn's tapes, I don't know...

So, I'm very happy about those two things by The Church, because the key here is to get people to wake up and in whatever way they can.

And these are these are drastic changes - it's good okay.


You take The Death - let's go back to The White House.

With this indictment indictment of Scooter Libby or our author here, you see activity in the White House that is deliberately structured to deceive deliberately structured to hide the truth from people to make people stir up their patriotism to make people raise flags and send their young men and women off to war to get killed.

And the cover-up of the lie about this war is so important - 

So, you know very very important that somebody in this administration would risk going to jail -

Yet those of us on the outside are supposed to raise our flags and follow patriotically, while the Dark One's plot in secret rooms things that we know nothing of.

And we opened a couple of the doors on their secret rooms in the beginning so we call this "Democracy" and we're trying to get other people to do the same thing -


There was a Commandment of God taken from the Bible that seems to pour its wrath on those who violate it for whatever reason -

Let me let me show you this a commandment that it says in exodus 20:7 :-


You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain


Now if you believe in God to any degree, whatever it is then you have to at least give some of these statements from long ago your attention -


Taking The Name of The Lord in vain by most people is interpreter they're saying Oh goddammit or Jesus Christ you know something like that -

That's not that's not what I mean - when you use God to try and justify yourself as being something that you're not


You know, you can take today, and this is what we see we see "Oh, you know we're born again we're followers of Jesus..."


Well, if you're born again and if you're a follower of Jesus a real true follower of Jesus you'd be a pacifist - You couldn't swing it anybody, you couldn't fight with anybody, you couldn't join any armies....


And you could say "Wow, that's ridiculous!"

That may be, but that's what's required if you're a follower of Jesus.

You can't say in one hand, you're against the other hand - singing 'God Bless America' when your country drops bombs on innocent people who have done nothing to you, and who are absolutely nothing to do with the with the hideous thing that happened in New York 9/11


You kill thousands for a reason which is proven to be wrong.

You torture people and you keep people in prison with no lawyers and no rights to speak.


And you used the Lord's name to get millions of votes and then you set up dark rooms where you threaten people who disagree with you, say, and and that's taking The Lord's Name in vain and you're not held guiltless and so you see there's a penalty there's a price to pay when you do that.... 


The Collector comes around and as we have seen in the past few weeks, The Collector has arrived...



When The Sith Come Around....

Joseph Campbell - he was he taught mythology at Sarah Lawrence University - oh gosh about 30 years he's passed away - but Joseph Campbell spoke of the need that we have the need to understand mythology to save ourselves from you know the reality of these minds that are....


Joseph Campbell said the mythology of our time is Star Wars.



The struggle against of Light struggling against Darkness.



"Israel is NOT a Good Name - His Name was Jacob at First..."


Now, the personification of Evil in Star Wars is Darth Vader.



His name was originally Anakin Skywalker and he was an upstanding citizen - Married, had two children.


His mother was Shimi, who was a virgin when she conceived and gave birth to Anakin.


What's interesting about this is the suggestion that Anakin Skywalker was actually conceived by The Force -


A Vergence, You Say...
Okay, not by any you know, copulation, but by The Force, as Jesus was conceived by The Force


As a child Anakin could build or repair anything.


Anakin was a youngster and and you know, as I said, he was extremely gifted he could do things that other children couldn't do.



He Can See Things Before They Happen...


He grew then and he married, and his wife was Padme.

Which Means "Peace", or "Lotus".





And Anakin, when he married his wife gave birth to two children - Luke Skywalker and Leia Skywalker.

However as he grew older his arrogance and emotional insecurities eventually turned him to The Dark Side of The Force, transforming him into Darth Vader.


You can do this - and he became so enamored with the power and his ability to change The World into what HE wanted it to be, that his good background and his good beginnings gave way to The Dark Side of The Force.


He's becoming a different person.
And Padme, his wife, travels to Mustafar to reunite with her husband, and she's afraid for him because of what's happening to him because of the way he's changing.

And she wants to leave public life and she wants him to go with her and raise their child - but Anakin refuses telling her they don't have to run anymore because he has new powers and his new powers can not only save her but his new powers can overthrow the Empire and make the Republic the way we want it to be.


Now, you know we're living that, aren't we?


You see there's a reason why Joseph Campbell's called Star Wars the great mythology for our time -


Before you mislead yourselves and I don't want to mislead you either - I'm not suggesting that George Bush is Darth Vader.


Darth Vader doesn't represent a person he represents a FORCE.

Darth Vader represents a force that comes from Good but becomes so overcome by the power in his hands, that he takes a small circle of friends to construct what THEY believe to be Good even if it's really Evil, the same same Darth Vader who was doing Evil actually thinks he's doing Good -


Trying to change The World the way HE thinks it should be.


In other words Darth Vader has no face here - he represents a mind, he represents a mind that is filled with Darkness and a mind that will fight and struggle to show him The World in the way that he thinks it should be.


He lives within this Mask and he has to stay within that mask so that no Light can ever come upon him, see - 

He cannot come out into The Light

He cannot become enlightened.


No one knows who he is.


No one knows what's behind The Mask.

And that's like all of these people like I showed you before this guy Scooter Libby -


I mean you know, The White House, he's got his portfolios in his book  - but nobody even really looked in to see what was in his mind... about, you know, a little girl being putting up a cage to have sex with an animal.


See, no one sees into the minds of those who seek Power and then misuse it, thinking that they're doing Good.


When you have that then you have a mind controlled by Darkness, you have Darth Vader.

And then finally Darth Vader is destroyed by his own son Luke Skywalker.

He is destroyed by his own.

He's destroyed by his own people.


And he asked Luke to remove His Mask and confesses that he has seen The Error of His Ways.


And then Luke removes The Mask and sees the ghostly pale visage of a sad and withered man - his head, he's bald his skin is pasty white from not having been exposed to The Light for more than two decades, and his face still carries the scars of the battles that have gone on within him.


And his weary eyes stare out from dark sunken sockets at his son, and back at a life filled with sorrowful regret.

And in his dying breaths Anakin Skywalker is redeemed, finally admitting to Luke that the goodness within him was really not destroyed after all.


And this is what he says at The End.


Anakin says, "Now go My Son leave me," this was Darth Vader

And Luke Skywalker said "No you're coming with me - I'll not leave you, I've got to save you"

and Anakin says


"You already have,  Luke -

You were right - You were right about me.

Tell your sister  - You were Right."


What a mythology that is!


About the very same people - I mean, the people that sit and do these things are not bad people - they are consumed in this thing.


And none of us knows how it how we would act if we're placed in that same powerful position we're not only placed in a powerful position but we're surrounded by other people and they're making suggestions, "Hey, if you do this....", "Hey, if we do that...", "Hey, if we do the other thing..." 

And then when you start doing these things and they don't go right you've got a cover over you've  gotta hide behind the closed doors and it just gets worse and worse and you sink deeper and deeper - and that's Darth  Vader.

But Salvation could only come to Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader when he had been brought down by his own -


When The Power was finally taken away, then The Mask was removed, and again The Light was allowed to touch him.


You know they they have to come out from this circle of Darkness, whether it be in the White House and whether it be in Israel, or whether it be in Iraq or Iran or wherever it is it is, people consumed with this Darkness that manifests itself as this Violence Against Nature, Violence Against Life Itself, all of The Violence and The Killing Done Within The Dark finally was proved to The One Who Carried That Saber as being wrong he finally understood it because The Man -


He didn't have to wear the mask anymore.

He didn't have to come out and make speeches anymore.

He didn't have to come out and sit in the church anymore.

He could be he could be himself.


At that point Anakin no longer Darth Vader dies and his body is carried off by The Force you can take it off but the body his body is carried off by the godly force now he finally becomes one with the force of good say it's like all of us that before we go into the meditation were obsessed by the things that come into our mind we're obsessed by the ideas and the thoughts and and the things that and then when we come in and we purge that out we get carried off by this same force.

During the victory celebration on The Forest Moon of Endor, Luke is able to see the redeemed spirit of his father Anakin Skywalker.


So you see, it's not a person, it's an ideal its power -  it's an interpretation of what is Light and what is Darkness and it causes those who are infected with it to do terrible things that are really not a part of them but a part of The Force that they've yielded to, whether it's The  President, The Vice-President; whether  it's a it's a King; whether it's some kind of minister or preacher; a rabbi,  whatever - 


Whatever it may be probably, it's The Force that they become involved in and yield themselves to that they now become as a group willing to do anything  to make their program fit what they believe is best for The World.

So look at the difference in Anakin Skywalker  from when The Mask goes revealed until now  - that's the beauty of that mythology see and I mean it was like him 

And it's like what we're seeing with our own eyes right now we're seeing a Star Wars right now.


But people get deeper and deeper into the pit of that
force where people who have a great
education come from good families
suddenly find themselves having to lie
about bringing some terrible punishment
upon some innocent people they have to
lie and possibly go to jail or somebody
from you know until finally that higher
force which we call God which we call
Uranus which we called Aquarius causes a
crack a split and the light shines down
upon what they're doing and they're
brought down and when they're brought
down that is when they're raised up
they're basically good people there are
basically good people but they simply
cannot deal with the power they've been
given and they use it for evil instead
of good all the while calling that evil
good and they they thus fulfill another
scripture that I like a lot from Isaiah
and this is it and it says it says woe
unto them that call evil good and good
evil that put darkness for light and
light for darkness and this is what
happens and we are watching it with our
own eyes we're watching Star Wars and
we're what and I mean it's not President
Bush and it's not this one it's the
whole concept of this thing
that violence and killing and raping of
the of the earthen and the animals of
the earth and the and the children and
the poor and all of these things that
you know these things cannot get in the
the ultimate change of this democracy or
whatever it is they're trying to push
it's a it's a mass type of a mindset
they claim God and they claim that their
morality and their ethics and in this
country they're against abortions.

And they're against gays but they turned the other way when it comes to war and

killing and they turned the other way  when it comes to poverty and discrimination against the underprivileged they can't stand up there they say -


Darth Vader is alive and well and all you have to do is watch the TV or read the news to see what havoc
has been poured out upon The Earth whatever

You look over in France now and then people call me absolutely berserk and the shaking and
all of it is inside of the minds and it doesn't make any difference whether
there's police or soldiers there's rioting and then all this goes on it's a
form of mind that represents a form of mind it is a form of power and it takes
all shapes and sizes and no one ever sees its true face when they look in the
mirror they never see that face but that is their face and I want to tell you though Luke Skywalker who was the symbol of the force of good built a lightsaber and the lightsaber had a green blade a lightsaber of green light do you know what it means it was the green light that brought down Darth Vader and saved The World.

Green and Light are very important not just as symbols but as a reality of life
because it is the light from above that
touches the green of the earth that
gives us life an implant life it's
chlorophyll in an animal and human it's
called heme our hemoglobin it is the
light which is God that touches the
green of the earth that gives all life
in the days of the biblical Passover
they would place the blood of the lamb
on the doorpost to identify them and I
have asked you and this has gone on for
some years to place a green light at
your house to identify you some years
ago we showed you where this green light
was referred to as the biggest power
booster on the planet
a protein and green plants referred to
as photosystem 1 let me show you if I if
we can see that this is from NASA
biologists conducting Space Shuttle
experiments maybe one step closer to
shedding light on the biggest power
booster on the planet a protein in green


plants called photosystem one this is

the power the green light that brought
down dark Vador this is the power that


saved the world well you take that is there a green saber now I mean is there
a Luke Skywalker yeah



is there a Luke Skywalker with a green


saber now coming down upon the earth to
strike the earth and bring the dark
Vader's of the present world to their

knees that green light comes from above

the power comes from the light above and

what we're living in now is the Aquarian age and the ruling planet with the bizarre electro pattern and the ating from it is Uranus and when Jesus spoke of Passover he said look for The Man Carrying the Pitcher of Water which is Aquarius but there's something else something at hand that is strange and wonderful let me show you here with a Karina the magnificent nebula which I proposed to you is the seventh angel of The Book of Revelation there are numerous reasons for proposing at a Carina as the Seventh Angel of Revelation the word Atta is the seventh leader of the Greek alphabet and originally meant seven it certainly has the appearance of an angel at a Carina and something amazing has been discovered now and at a Carina but step back for a moment and let's reconsider the green light the green saber of Luke Skywalker coming down to The Earth.



Uranus, the mighty ruler of this age is called the blue green planet and it's vibrations of electromagnetic energy is such that it is a prime source of the shaking and that magnetic changes that are impacting so many and causing so many things to be turned upside down so indeed in this age of the seventh angel of The Book of Revelation there is a Luke Skywalker there is a Luke Skywalker with Green Light coming down upon The Earth that will destroy the Powers of Darkness that will destroy the Darth Vaders of The Earth.



And that Green light comes from Uranus our own Luke Skywalker for this mythology and it is the time of the seventh angel all together then the time of Luke Skywalker the time of the green light, the time of the Seventh angel and as certainly you can see the wings of The Angel looks like an angel let me show you the next if you see in the next slide Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Epsilon Zeta EDA which is the seventh and from


heidegger's Greek words at a in small









that it means pleasure and in capital









letter it means the Sun so it is the






seventh letter of the green alphabet






also means the Sun behind the angelic






wings that a Carina is the most massive







light known to exist anywhere in the







cosmos






you know of the next one so we have Etta






Kareena represented by the seventh






letter in the Greek alphabet the word






Adam means the Sun and as you can see






with the appearance of an angel would we






be justified then in considering this as






a sign in the heavens of the seventh


angel the seven angels of Revelation and

the seventh angel in particular are

identified in a biblical context very

specifically but I need to share with

you and it comes in Revelation 5 - I saw

a strong angel proclaiming with a loud

voice who's worthy to open the book and loose the seals no man in heavenly the earth or under the earth was able to

open it my wept much because no one was found in one of the elders said to me

weep not behold the Lion of Judah the book and loose the seven seals the of David

North Of Heaven


"If y'want the position o' God, then tek t'responsibilty."

Stephen Baxter

"LOTS of planets have a North..!"

Only in the North, and in Northern people and in Northern Hearts have I ever encountered have I ever encountered actual Englishness, the much-vaunted, much-lauded "British Values", Loyalty and Quiet Pride, Modesty, Warm Humour and Wit, genuineness, radicalism and agitation, GOTH, a sense of self, place and nation, bravery, stoicism and cheek.

They are our best and only Tribe of unrepentant patriots - but their loyalty, always is only to The Nation, and it's People, and to the story of this land.

Not to The Court.

Not to the usurped and tainted Crown or its office-holders, Mistresses and Favourites, Viscountesses, false-pretending Pomp and Circumstance 

Not to the Privy Councillors and Toilet-Room Toadies in WestMinster

Not to The City, it's Banks and Guilds and Corporation or Toxic (Human) Assets.

And not to the bloody BBC LicenseFree Enforcement and Revenue Recovery Unit - Jog on, pal.

EARTH + AIR + FIRE + WATER

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem built here
Amongst these dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand

Till we have built :

JERUSALEM

In England's green and pleasant land.


THE NORTH SHALL RISE AGAIN

Green

"Concerning Magnesia of the green Lion. It is called Prometheus & the Chameleon. Also Androgyne, and virgin verdant earth in which the Sun has never cast its rays although he is its father and the moon its mother. Also common mercury, dew of heaven which makes the earth fertile, nitre of the wise. Instructio de arbore solari. It is the Saturnine stone.

Now this green earth is the Green Ladies of B. Valentine the beautifully green Venus and the green Venereal emerald and green earth of Snyders with which he fed his lunary Mercury and by virtue of which Diana was to bring forth children and out of which saith Ripley the blood of the green Lyon is drawn in the beginning of the work.

The young new born king is nourished in a bigger heat with milk drawn by destellation from the putrefied matter of the second work. With this milk he must be imbibed seven times to putrefy him sufficiently and then dococted to the white and red, and in passing to the red he must be imbibed with a little red oil to fortify the solary nature and make the red stone more fluxible. And this may be called the third work. The first goes on no further than to putrefaction, the second goes to the white and the third to the red.” 

— Sir Isaac Newton

And so it goes
for more than 
a million words..

NEWTON: A CULTIST KOOK

The next phase of the corruption of science by Venice depends on a rather obscure Cambridge don by the name of Isaac Newton. For the oligarchy, Newton and Galileo are the only two contenders for the honor of being the most influential thinker of their faction since Aristotle himself. The British oligarchy praises Newton as the founder of modern science. But, at the same time, they have been unable to keep secret the fact that Newton was a raving irrationalist, a cultist kook. Among the oligarchs, it was the British economist Lord John Maynard Keynes and a fellow Cambridge graduate who began to open the black box of Newton’s real character. Was Newton the first and greatest of the modern scientists, the practitioner of cold and untinctured reason? No, said Keynes, Newton was not the first of the Age of Reason. He was the last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians and Sumerians, the last wonderful child to whom the Magi could do sincere and appropriate homage. Keynes based his view on the contents of a box. What was in the box? The box contained papers which Newton had packed up when he left Cambridge for London in 1696, ending his Cambridge career and beginning his new life in London as member and president of the British Royal Society, director of the mint, resident magus of the new British Empire.
Inside the box were manuscripts and papers totaling some 1.2 million words. After Newton’s death, Bishop Horsley was asked to inspect the box, with a view to publication, but when he saw the contents, he recoiled in horror and slammed the lid. A century passed. Newton’s nineteenth-century biographer, Sir David Brewster, looked into the box. He decided to save Newton’s reputation by printing a few selections, but he falsified the rest with straight fibbing, as Keynes says. The box became known as the Portsmouth Papers. A few mathematical papers were given to Cambridge in 1888. In 1936, the current owner, Lord Lymington, needed money, so he had the rest auctioned off. Keynes bought as many as he could, but other papers were scattered from Jerusalem to America.
As Keynes points out, Newton was a suspicious, paranoid, unstable personality. In 1692, Newton had a nervous breakdown and never regained his former consistency of mind. Pepys and Locke thought that he had become deranged. Newton emerged from his breakdown slightly “gaga.” As Keynes stresses, Newton “was wholly aloof from women,” although he had some close young male friends. He once angrily accused John Locke of trying to embroil him with women.
In the past decades, the lid of the box has been partially and grudgingly opened by the Anglophile scholars who are the keepers of the Newton myth. What can we see inside the box?
First, Newton was a supporter of the Arian heresy. He denied and attacked the Holy Trinity, and therefore also the Filioque and the concept of Imago Viva Dei. Keynes thought that Newton was “a Judaic monotheist of the school of Maimonides,” which suggests that he was a Cabalist. For Newton, to worship Christ as God was idolatry and a mortal sin. Even in the Church of England, Newton had to keep these views secret or face ostracism.

ALCHEMY AND GREEN LIONS

Newton’s real interest was not mathematics or astronomy. It was alchemy. His laboratory at Trinity College, Cambridge was fitted out for alchemy. Here, his friends said, the fires never went out during six weeks of the spring and six weeks of the autumn. And what is alchemy? What kind of research was Newton doing? His sources were books like the “Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum” of Elias Ashmole, the Rosicrucian leader of British speculative Freemasonry. Newton owned all six heavy quarto volumes of Ashmole.
The goal of the alchemists was the quest for the mythical philosopher’s stone, which would permit the alchemist to transmute lead and other base metals into gold. The alchemists hoped the philosopher’s stone would give them other magical powers, such as rejuvenation and eternal youth.
That's Sir Isaac Newton's personal illustration of The Philosopher's Stone.

Alchemy also involved the relations between the astrological influences of the planets and the behavior of chemicals. One treatise that dealt with these issues was the “Metamorphosis of the Planets.” Since the planet Jupiter had precedence among the planets, it also occupied a privileged position among the reagents of alchemy. Newton expressed this with a picture he drew of Jupiter Enthroned on the obverse of the title page of this book.
Jupiter Enthroned
by Sir Isaac Newton

What were Newton’s findings? Let him speak for himself: “Concerning Magnesia of the green Lion. It is called Prometheus & the Chameleon. Also Androgyne, and virgin verdant earth in which the Sun has never cast its rays although he is its father and the moon its mother. Also common mercury, dew of heaven which makes the earth fertile, nitre of the wise. Instructio de arbore solari. It is the Saturnine stone.” This would appear to have been written in the 1670s. A sample from the 1690s: “Now this green earth is the Green Ladies of B. Valentine the beautifully green Venus and the green Venereal emerald and green earth of Snyders with which he fed his lunary Mercury and by virtue of which Diana was to bring forth children and out of which saith Ripley the blood of the green Lyon is drawn in the beginning of the work.
During the 1680s Newton also composed a series of aphorisms of alchemy, the sixth of which reads as follows: “The young new born king is nourished in a bigger heat with milk drawn by destellation from the putrefied matter of the second work. With this milk he must be imbibed seven times to putrefy him sufficiently and then dococted to the white and red, and in passing to the red he must be imbibed with a little red oil to fortify the solary nature and make the red stone more fluxible. And this may be called the third work. The first goes on no further than to putrefaction, the second goes to the white and the third to the red.” (Westfall, pp. 292, 293, 358).
And so it goes for more than a million words, with Green Lions, Androgynes, male and female principles, Pan and Osiris. Truly it has been said that Newton had probed the literature of alchemy as it had never been probed before or since, all during the time he was supposedly writing his Principia Mathematica. In addition, he drew up plans for King Solomon’s Temple, and later a chronology of Biblical events which foreshortened that history by cutting out several hundred years.

NEWTON’S “DISCOVERIES”

And what about Newton’s supposed discoveries? Upon closer scrutiny, it turns out that he had no discoveries. Take, for example, Newton’s alleged law of universal gravitation, which states that the force of attraction of two point masses is equal to the product of the two masses divided by the square of the distance between them, times a constant. This is Newton’s so-called inverse square law. It has long been known that this was not really a new discovery, but rather derived by some tinkering from Kepler’s Third Law. Kepler had established that the cube of a planet’s distance from the Sun divided by the square of its year always equaled a constant. By supplementing this with Huygens’s formula for centrifugal acceleration and making some substitutions, you can obtain the inverse square relationship. This issue is settled in the appendices to The Science of Christian Economy [by Lyndon LaRouche, Washington, D.C.: Schiller Institute, 1991]. But the partisans of Newton still claim that Newton explained gravity.
By opening the lid of the box, we find that Newton himself confesses, in an unpublished note, that his great achievement was cribbed from Kepler. Newton wrote: “…I began to think of gravity extending to the Orb of the Moon and (having found out how to estimate the force with which a globe revolving presses the surface of a sphere) from Kepler’s rule of the periodical times of the Planets being in sesquialterate proportion of their distances from the center of their Orbs, I deduced that the forces which keep the Planets in their Orbs must be reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers about which they revolve….” (Westfall, 143). Newton “arrived at the inverse square relation by substituting Kepler’s Third Law into Huygens’s recently published formula for centrifugal force” (Westfall, 402). Hooke and Sir Christopher Wren claimed to have done the same thing at about the same time.
Newton’s love of alchemy and magic surfaces as the basis of his outlook, including in his supposed scientific writings. In his “Opticks,” he asks, “Have not the small particles of bodies certain powers, virtues, or forces, by which they act at a distance…. How those attractions may be performed, I do not here consider. What I call attraction may be performed by Impulse, or some other means unknown to me.” This is Newton’s notion of gravity as action at a distance, which Leibniz rightly mocked as black magic. Newton’s system was unable to describe anything beyond the interaction of two bodies, and supposed an entropic universe that would have wound down like clockwork if not periodically re-wound. Newton also wrote of an electric spirit, and of a mysterious medium he called the ether. What the basis of these is in alchemy is not clear.
Then there is the story of Newton’s invention of the calculus. In reality, Newton never in his entire life described a calculus. He never had one. What he cooked up was a theory of so-called fluxions and infinite series. This was not a calculus and quickly sank into oblivion when it was published nine years after Newton’s death. By 1710, European scientists had been working with Leibniz’s calculus for several decades. It was about that time that Newton and the British Royal Society launched their campaign to claim that Newton had actually invented the calculus in 1671, although for some strange reason he had never said anything about it in public print during a period of 30 years. This was supplemented by a second allegation, that Leibniz was a plagiarist who had copied his calculus from Newton after some conversations and letters exchanged between the two during the 1670s. These slanders against Leibniz were written up by Newton and put forward in 1715 as the official verdict of the British Royal Society. The same line was churned out by scurrilous hack writers directed by Newton. But scientists in continental Europe, and especially the decisive French Academy of Sciences, were not at all convinced by Newton’s case. Newton’s reputation on the continent was at best modest, and certainly not exalted. There was resistance against Newton in England, with a hard core of 20-25% of anti-Newton feeling within the Royal Society itself. How then did the current myth of Newton the scientist originate?

NEWTON: THE APOTHEOSIS OF A CHARLATAN

The apotheosis of Newton was arranged by Antonio Conti of Venice, the center of our third grouping of the dead souls faction. In order to create the myth of Newton as the great modern scientist, Conti was obliged to do what might well have been considered impossible at the time: to create a pro-British party in France. Conti succeeded, and stands as the founder of the Enlightenment, otherwise understood as the network of French Anglophiles. Those Frenchmen who were degraded enough to become Anglophiles would also be degraded enough to become Newtonians, and vice versa. The British had no network in Paris that could make this happen, but the Venetians did, thanks most recently to the work of such figures as Montaigne and Pierre Bayle. What the British could never have done, the Venetians accomplished for the greater glory of the Anglo- Venetian Party.
Born in Padua in 1677, Conti was a patrician, a member of the Venetian nobility. He was a defrocked priest who had joined the Oratorian order, but then left it to pursue literary and scientific interests, including Galileo and Descartes. Conti was still an abbot. In 1713, Conti arrived in Paris. This was at the time of the Peace of Utrecht, the end of the long and very bitter War of the Spanish Succession, in which the British, the Dutch, and their allies had invaded, defeated, and weakened the France of Jean-Baptiste Colbert. Louis XIV had only two more years to live, after which the throne would go to a regent of the House of Orleans.
In Paris, Conti built up a network centering on the philosopher Nicholas de Malebranche. He also worked closely with Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle, the permanent secretary of the French Academy of Sciences, still the premier research center in Europe. Conti saw immediately that Fontenelle was a follower of Giordano Bruno of the Ridotto Morosini. Conti become a celebrity in Paris, but he soon announced that he was growing tired to Descartes, the dominant figure on the French intellectual scene. Conti began telling the Paris salons that he was turning more and more to Newton and Leibniz. He began to call attention to the polemic between Newton and Leibniz. What a shame that these two eminent scientists were fighting each other! Perhaps these two outlooks could be reconciled. That would take a tactful mediator, an experienced man of the world. Since the English and the German scientists were at war, who better than an Italian, a Venetian, to come forward as mediator? Perhaps such a subtle Venetian could find a way to settle this nasty dispute about the calculus and propose a compromise platform for physics.
A solar eclipse was in the offing, and Conti organized a group of French astronomers to go to London and observe it – probably the London fog would be helpful. With Conti’s help these Frenchmen would be turned, made members of the Royal Society, and when they got back to France, they would become the first French Anglophiles of the eighteenth century French Enlightenment. Before leaving Paris, Conti, with classical Venetian duplicity, wrote a very friendly letter to Leibniz, introducing himself as a supporter of Leibniz’s philosophy. Conti claimed that he was going to London as a supporter of Leibniz, who would defend his cause in London just as he had done in Paris. By 1715, Leibniz’s political perspectives were very grim, since his patroness, Sophie of Hanover, had died in May 1714. Leibniz was not going to become prime minister of England, because the new British king was Georg Ludwig of Hanover, King George I.
When Conti got to London, he began to act as a diabolical agent provocateur. Turning on his magnetism, he charmed Newton. Newton was impressed by his guest and began to let his hair down. Conti told Newton that he had been trained as a Cartesian. “I was myself, when young, a Cartesian,” said the sage wistfully, and then added that Cartesian philosophy was nothing but a “tissue of hypotheses,” and of course Newton would never tolerate hypotheses. Newton confessed that he had understood nothing of his first astronomy book, after which he tried a trigonometry book with equal failure. But he could understand Descartes very well. With the ground thus prepared, Conti was soon a regular dinner guest at Newton’s house. He seems to have dined with Newton on the average three evenings per week. Conti also had extensive contacts with Edmond Halley, with Newton’s anti-Trinitarian parish priest Samuel Clarke, and other self-styled scientists. Conti also became friendly with Princess Caroline, the Princess of Wales, who had been an ally of Leibniz. Conti became very popular at the British court, and by November 1715 he was inducted by Newton as a member of the Royal Society.
Conti understood that Newton, kook that he was, represented the ideal cult figure for a new obscurantist concoction of deductive- inductive pseudo mathematical formalism masquerading as science. Thanks to the Venetians, Italy had Galileo, and France had Descartes. Conti might have considered concocting a pseudo scientific ideology for the English based on Descartes, but that clearly would not do, since Venice desired to use England above all as a tool to tear down France with endless wars. Venice needed an English Galileo, and Conti provided the intrigue and the public relations needed to produce one, in a way not so different from Paolo Sarpi a century before.

THE LEIBNIZ-NEWTON CONTEST

Conti received a letter from Leibniz repeating that Newton had never mastered the calculus, and attacking Newton for his occult notion of gravitation, his insistence on the existence of atoms and the void, his inductive method. Whenever Conti got a letter from Leibniz, he would show it to Newton, to stoke the fires of Newton’s obsessive rage to destroy Leibniz. During this time, Newton’s friend Samuel Clarke began an exchange of letters with Leibniz about these and related issues. (Voltaire later remarked of Clarke that he would have made an ideal Archbishop of Canterbury if only he had been a Christian.) Leibniz wrote that natural religion itself was decaying in England, where many believe human souls to be material, and others view God as a corporeal being. Newton said that space is an organ, which God uses to perceive things. Newton and his followers also had a very odd opinion concerning the work of God. According to their doctrine, “God Almighty wants to wind up his watch from time to time; otherwise, it would cease to move. He had not, it seems, sufficient foresight to make it a perpetual motion.” This gave rise to the Leibniz-Clarke correspondence, in which we can also see the hand of Conti. By now, the chameleon Conti was a total partisan of Newton’s line of atoms and the void, the axioms of Newtonian absolute space. “If there were no void,” wrote Conti, “all bodies would be equally heavy and the comets could not pass through heavenly spaces…. M. Leibniz has written his speech to Princess [Caroline], and he presents the world not as it is, but as it could be.” (Badaloni, Antonio Conti, 63).
Newton tried to get the ambassadors of the London diplomatic corps to review his old manuscripts and letters, hoping they would endorse the finding of the Royal Society that Leibniz had plagiarized his calculus. Leibniz had pointed out that the Royal Society had stacked the evidence. Conti used this matter to turn George I more and more against Leibniz. Conti organized the Baron von Kilmansegge, the Hanoverian minister and husband of George I’s mistress, to take the position that the review of documents would not be enough; the only way to decide the Leibniz-Newton controversy was through a direct exchange of letters between the two. King George agreed with this. Conti encouraged Newton to make a full reply to Leibniz, so that both letters could be shown to the king. When he heard Newton’s version, the king indicated that Newton’s facts would be hard for Leibniz to answer.
Conti tried to convince Leibniz to accept the 1715 verdict of the Royal Society which had given credit for the calculus to Newton. In return, to sweeten this galling proposal, Conti generously conceded that Leibniz’s calculus was easier to use and more widely accepted. By now Leibniz was well aware that he was dealing with an enemy operative, but Leibniz died on Nov. 4, 1716, a few days before Conti arrived in Hanover to meet him. Newton received word of the death of his great antagonist through a letter from Conti.

CONTI’S DEPLOYMENT TO FRANCE

Thanks to Conti’s intervention as agent provocateur, Newton had received immense publicity and had become a kind of succes de scandale. The direct exchange mandated by George I suggested to some an equivalence of Leibniz and Newton. But now Conti’s most important work was just beginning. Leibniz was still held in high regard in all of continental Europe, and the power of France was still immense. Conti and the Venetians wished to destroy both. In the Leibniz-Newton contest, Conti had observed that while the English sided with Newton and the Germans with Leibniz, the French, Italians, Dutch, and other continentals wavered, but still had great sympathy for Leibniz. These powers would be the decisive swing factors in the epistemological war. In particular, the attitude which prevailed in France, the greatest European power, would be decisive. Conti now sought to deliver above all France, plus Italy, into the Newtonian camp.
Conti was in London between 1715 and 1718. His mission to France lasted from 1718 through 1726. Its result will be called the French Enlightenment, L’Age des Lumieres. The first components activated by Conti for the new Newtonian party in France were the school and followers of Malebranche, who died in 1715. The Malebranchistes first accepted Newton’s Opticks, and claimed to have duplicated Newton’s experiments, something no Frenchman had done until this time. Here Conti was mobilizing the Malebranche network he had assembled before going to London. Conti used his friendship with Fontenelle, the secretary of the French Academy of Sciences, to secure his benevolent neutrality regarding Newton. Conti’s other friends included Mairan, Reaumur, Freret, and Desmolets.
During the late teens and ’20s in Paris, an important salon met at the Hotel de Rohan, the residence of one of the greatest families of the French nobility. This family was aligned with Venice; later, we will find the Cardinal-Prince de Rohan as the sponsor of the Venetian agent Count Cagliostro. The librarian at the Hotel de Rohan was a certain Abbe Oliva. Oliva presided over a Venetian-style conversazione attended by Conti, his Parisian friends, and numerous Italians. This was already a circle of freethinkers and libertines.
In retrospect, the best known of the participants was Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de la Brede et de Montesquieu. Montesquieu, before Voltaire, Rousseau, and the Encyclopedia, was the first important figure of the French Enlightenment – more respectable than Voltaire and Rousseau – and the leading theoretician of political institutions. Conti met Montesquieu at the Hotel de Rohan, and at another salon, the Club de l’Entresol. Later, when Conti had returned to Venice, Montesquieu came to visit him there, staying a month. Montesquieu was an agent for Conti.
Montesquieu’s major work is The Spirit of the Laws, published in 1748. This is a work of decidedly Venetian flavor, with republic, monarchy, and despotism as the three forms of government, and a separation of powers doctrine. Montesquieu appears to have taken many of his ideas from Conti, who wrote a profile of France called “Historical and Political Discourse on the State of France between 1700 and 1730.” In his treatise, Montesquieu points out that France has an independent judiciary, the parlements, which became a main focus for Anglo-Venetian destabilization efforts going toward the French Revolution.
Montesquieu raises the theme of Anglophilia, praising Britain’s allegedly constitutional monarchy as the ideal form. With this, the pro-British bent of Conti’s Enlightenment philosophes is established. The ground is being prepared for Newton.

ANOTHER CONTI AGENT: VOLTAIRE

One of Conti’s other friends from the Hotel de Rohan was a Jesuit called Tournemine, who was also a high school teacher. One of his most incorrigible pupils had been a libertine jailbird named Francois-Marie Arouet, who was so stubborn and headstrong that his parents had always called him “le volontaire,” meaning self-willed. Gradually this was shortened to Voltaire.
French literary historians are instinctively not friendly to the idea that the most famous Frenchman was a Venetian agent working for Conti, but the proof is convincing. Voltaire knew both Conti personally and Conti’s works. Conti is referred to a number of times in Voltaire’s letters. In one letter, Voltaire admiringly shares an anecdote about Conti and Newton. Voltaire asks, should we try to find the proof of the existence of God in an algebraic formula on one of the most obscure points in dynamics? He cites Conti in a similar situation with Newton: “You’re about to get angry with me,” says Conti to Newton, “but I don’t care.” I agree with Conti, says Voltaire, that all geometry can give us are about forty useful theorems. Beyond that, it’s nothing more than a fascinating subject, provided you don’t let metaphysics creep in.
Voltaire also relates Conti’s version of the alleged Spanish conspiracy against Venice in 1618, which was supposedly masterminded by the Spanish ambassador to Venice, Count Bedmar. Conti’s collected works and one of his tragedies are in Voltaire’s library, preserved at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg.
The book which made Voltaire famous was his Philosophical Letters, sometimes called the English letters, because they are devoted to the exaltation of all things British, which Voltaire had observed during his three years in London. In the essay on Shakespeare, Voltaire writes that Shakespeare is considered the Corneille of England. This is a quote from Conti, taken from the head note to Conti’s tragedy Giulio Cesare, which had been published in Paris in 1726. Voltaire’s view of Shakespeare as sometimes inspired, but barbarous and “crazy” for not respecting French theatrical conventions, is close to Conti’s own practice. We can thus associate Conti with Voltaire’s first important breakthrough, and the point where Anglophilia becomes Anglomania in France.
But most important, Voltaire’s Philosophical Letters center on the praise of Newton. After chapters on Francis Bacon and John Locke, there are four chapters on Newton, the guts of the work. For Voltaire, Newton was the first discoverer of the calculus, the dismantler of the entire Cartesian system. His “sublime ideas” and discoveries have given him “the most universal reputation.” Voltaire also translated Newton directly, and published Elements of Newtonian Philosophy.
The Philosophical Letters were condemned and Voltaire had to hide in the libertine underground for a time. He began to work on another book, The Century of Louis XIV. The idea here was simple: to exalt Louis XIV as a means of attacking the current king, Louis XV, by comparison. This was an idea that we can also find in Conti’s manuscripts. Louis XV was, of course, a main target of the Anglo-Venetians.
In 1759, Voltaire published his short novel Candide, a distillation of Venetian cultural pessimism expressed as a raving attack on Leibniz, through the vicious caricature Dr. Pangloss. Toward the end of the story, Candide asks Pangloss: “Tell me, my dear Pangloss, when you were hanged, dissected, cruelly beaten, and forced to row in a galley, did you still think that everything was for the best in this world?” “I still hold my original opinions, replied Pangloss, because after all, I’m a philosopher, and it wouldn’t be proper for me to recant, since Leibniz cannot be wrong, and since pre-established harmony is the most beautiful thing in the world, along with the plenum and subtle matter.” When Candide visits Venice, he meets Senator Pococurante, whom he considers a great genius because everything bores him and nothing pleases him. Senator Pococurante is clearly a figure of Abbot Antonio Conti. Conti was, we must remember, the man whom Voltaire quoted admiringly in his letter cited above telling Newton that he didn’t care – non me ne curo, perhaps, in Italian. Among Conti’s masks was certainly that of worldly boredom.
Conti later translated one of Voltaire’s plays, Merope, into Italian.

CONTI AND THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

Conti’s discussion of the supremacy of the sense of touch when it comes to sense certainty is echoed in the writing of the philosopher Condillac. Echoes of Conti have been found by some in Diderot’s Jacques the Fatalist. And then there is Buffon, who published Newton’s book on fluxions in French. More research is likely to demonstrate that most of the ideas of the French Enlightenment come from the Venetian Conti. The creation of a pro- Newton, anti-Leibniz party of French Anglomaniacs was a decisive contribution to the defeat of France in the mid-century world war we call the War of the Austrian Succession and the Seven Years’ War, which gave Britain world naval supremacy, and world domination. Conti’s work was also the basis for the later unleashing of the French Revolution. In the epistemological war, the French Newtonians were indispensable for the worldwide consolidation of the Newton myth. In Italy, there were Venetian writers like Voltaire’s friend Algarotti, the author of a book of Newtonian Philosophy for Ladies. Newton’s ideas were also spread by Abbot Guido Grandi, who labored to rehabilitate Galileo inside the Catholic Church. Another Italian intellectual in Conti’s orbit was Gimbattista Vico, later popularized by Benedetto Croce. The main point is that only with the help of Venice could the senile cultist kook Newton attain worldwide respect.
Conti was active until mid-century; he died in 1749. In Venice he became the central figure of a salon that was the worthy heir of Ridotto Morosini. This was the sinister coven that called itself the philosophical happy conversazione (“la conversazione filosofica e felice”) that gathered patrician families like the Emo, the Nani, the Querini, the Memmo, and the Giustinian. These were libertines, freethinkers, Satanists. We are moving toward the world portrayed in Schiller’s Geisterseher. After Conti’s death, the dominant figure was Andrea Memmo, one of the leaders of European Freemasonry.
An agent shared by Memmo with the Morosini family was one Giacomo Casanova, a homosexual who was backed up by a network of lesbians. Venetian oligarchs turned to homosexuality because of their obsession with keeping the family fortune intact by guaranteeing that there would only be one heir to inherit it; by this time more than two- thirds of male nobles, and an even higher percentage of female nobles, never married. Here we have the roots of Henry Kissinger’s modern Homintern. Casanova’s main task was to target the French King Louis XV through his sexual appetites. There is good reason to believe that Louis XV’s foreign minister De Bernis, who carried out the diplomatic revolution of 1756, was an agent of Casanova. One may speculate that Casanova’s networks had something to do with the approximately 25 assassination plots against Louis XV. Finally, Louis XV banned Casanova from France with a lettre de cachet.
Another agent of this group was Count Cagliostro, a charlatan and mountebank whose targets were Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, whom he destabilized through their own folly in the celebrated Queen’s Necklace Affair of 1785. Cagliostro was able to make Louis and especially Marie Antoinette personally hated, a necessary precondition for mass insurrection against them. Emperor Napoleon later said that this operation by Cagliostro had marked the opening phase of the French Revolution of 1789.

CONTI’S LEGACY OF EVIL

Another member of the Conti-Memmo conversazione was Giammaria Ortes, who had been taught Newton by Conti personally, as well as by Grandi. Ortes was another defrocked cleric operating as an abbot. Ortes is the author of a manual of Newtonian physics for young aristocrats, including a chapter on electricity which manages to avoid Benjamin Franklin, in the same way that Galileo avoided Kepler. Ortes carried out Conti’s program of applying Newtonian methods to the social sciences. This meant that everything had to be expressed in numbers. Ortes was like the constipated mathematician who worked his problem out with a pencil. He produced a calculus on the value of opinions, a calculus of the pleasures and pains of human life, a calculus of the truth of history. This is the model for Jeremy Bentham’s felicific or hedonistic calculus and other writings. Using these methods, Ortes posited an absolute upper limit for the human population of the Earth, which he set at 3 billion. This is the first appearance of carrying capacity. Ortes was adamant that there had never been and could never be an improvement in the living standard of the Earth’s human population. He argued that government intervention, as supported by the Cammeralist school of Colbert, Franklin, and others, could never do any good. Ortes provided all of the idea-content that is found in Thomas Malthus, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, the two Mills, and the rest of Lord Shelburne’s school of British philosophical radicalism in the time after 1775.
Conti has left a commentary on Plato’s Parmenides, which he interprets as Plato’s self- criticism for the mistake of having made ideas themselves the object of philosophical attention. In his Treatise on Ideas, Conti writes that the fundamental error of Plato is to attribute real existence to human ideas. All our ideas come from sense perceptions, says Conti.
In 1735 Conti was denounced to the Venetian Inquisition because of his reported religious ideas. Conti was accused of denying the existence of God. True to his factional pedigree, Conti also denied the immortality of the human soul. Conti reportedly said of the soul: “Since it is united with a material body and mixed up with matter, the soul perished with the body itself.” Conti got off with the help of his patrician aristocrat friends. He commented that God is something that we cannot know about, and jokingly confessed his ignorance. He even compared himself to Cardinal Nicolaus of Cusa. Conti described his own atheism as merely a version of the docta ignorantia [referring to Cusa’s book by the same name, On Learned Ignorance]. But this Senatore Pococurante still lives in every classroom where Newton is taught.
Surely it is time for an epistemological revolution to roll back the Venetian frauds of Galileo, Newton, and Bertrand Russell.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTES

On the general thesis involving Contarini as the instigator of the reformation and counter- reformation, Sarpi and the Giovani as the organizers of the Enlightenment, and the post-Cambrai metastasis of the Venetian fondi to England and elsewhere, see Webster G. Tarpley, “The Venetian Conspiracy” in “Campaigner” XIV, 6 September 1981, pp. 22-46.
On Leonardo da Vinci and the origins of the telescope, see the work of Domenico Argentieri.
On Sarpi: The most essential works of Sarpi’s epistemology are the Pensieri and the Arte di Ben Pensare. They are available only in Italian as Fra Paolo Sarpi, “Scritti Filosofici e teologici” (Bari: Laterza, 1951). But this collection is not complete, and many pensieri and other material remain in manuscript in the libraries of Venice. Other works of Sarpi are assembled in his “Opere,” edited by Gaetano and Luisa Cozzi. There is some discussion of the pensieri in David Wooton, “Paolo Sarpi: Between Renaissance and Enlightenment” (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press). An overview of the Galileo-Sarpi relationship is found in Gaetano Cozzi, “Paolo Sarpi tra Venezia e l’Europa” (Torino: Einaudi, 1979); Cozzi avoids most of the implications of the material he presents.
On Galileo: Pietro Redondi, “Galileo: Heretic” (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1987) has material on the political background of Galileo’s relations with the papacy and the holy orders of the day. The Galileo-Kepler correspondence is in Galileo’s 20 volume “Opere,” edited by A. Favaro and I. Del Lungo (Florence, 1929-1939).
On Kepler: The standard biography is Max Caspar, “Kepler” (London: Abelard-Schuman, 1959). Some of Kepler’s main works are now in English, including “The Secret of the Universe” translated by A.M. Duncan (New York: Abaris Books, 1981); and “New Astronomy” translated by William H. Donahue (New York: Cambridge University Press, 1992).
On Conti: A recent biography is Nicola Badaloni, “Antonio Conti: Un abate libero pensatore fra Newton e Voltaire (Milano: Feltrinelli, 1968). Selections from Conti’s many manuscript works which are found in libraries especially in and near Venice are in Nicola Badaloni (ed.), “Antonio Conti: Scritti filosofici” (Naples: Fulvio Rossi, 1972). For Conti as the teacher of Ortes, and on Ortes as a popularizer of Newton see Mauro di Lisa, “‘Chi mi sa dir s’io fingo?’: Newtonianesimo e scetticismo in Giammaria Ortes” in “Giornale Critico della filosofia italiana” LXVII (1988), pp. 221-233. For the Conti- Oliva- Montesquieu Paris salons, see Robert Shackleton, “Montesquieu: a critical biography.” Voltaire’s “Candide” and “Philosophical Letters” are available in various English language editions. For Voltaire’s references to Conti, see “Voltaire’s Correspondence,” edited in many volumes by Theodore Besterman (Geneva- Les Delices: Institut et Musee Voltaire, 1964). Note that Voltaire also had extensive correspondence and relations with Algarotti. For Voltaire’s possession of Conti’s books, see the catalogue of Voltaire’s library now conserved in Leningrad published by the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1961, p. 276. Gustave Lanson is an example of French literary critics who stubbornly avoid the obvious facts of Conti’s piloting of Voltaire; see his edition of Voltaire’s “Lettres philosophiques” (Paris, 1917), vol. II p. 90.
On Newton: Lord Keynes’s revelations on Newton’s box are in his “Essays in Biography” (New York: Norton, 1963), pp. 310-323. Louis Trenchard More, “Isaac Newton: A Biography (New York: Dover, 1962) includes a small sampling of material from Newton’s box. Richard S. Westfall, “Never at Rest: A Biography of Isaac Newton” (New York, Cambridge University Press, 1987) dips somewhat deeper into the box and supplies the green lion quotes, but still tries to defend the hoax of Newton as a scientist. For the typical lying British view of the Newton-Leibniz controversy, see A. Rupert Hall, “Philosophers at War” (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press). See Leibniz’s letters for what really happened.
