Foreword

If it flies in the face of convention, suppress it. If it contradicts accepted academic dogma, reject it. If it opens minds, condemn it. If it turns history upside down, make sure it never sees the light of day. So has it been down through time. So it was in the late 1800s when Smithsonian executive John Wesley Powell and his colleagues decided that, for humanitys good, they had best systematically destroy the vast amount of accumulated evidence proving that several Native American Indian tribes were most probably descended from ancient European visitors to the New World. Yes, in the minds of duplicitous psychopaths, destruction is always sanctified by some dubious pretext. Nevertheless, regardless of the blitzkrieg on truth, it is always a day for celebration when nefarious plots are foiled or exposed.

Reading through the pages of this book gives me this sense of satisfaction. It also furnishes me with additional proof of the devilry of people in high places. Although I have always been aware of the extraordinary lengths to which brainwashers will go to engender the consensus trance that suits their overall agenda for world control, it is valuable to learn even more about their ruthless and unceasing campaign to mislead us. Page after page, I was left aghast.

Particularly formidable are the revelations concerning the vaunted vii

viii H Foreword

Smithsonian Institution that was legally established in 1846. Curiously, its founder, James Smithson (17651829), never visited the United States. It is not even clear what motivated him to found the institution.

Its facade gives an impression of nobility and academic prowess, and its cathedral-like architecture exudes an aura of established credibility.

The average visitor is not inclined to guess that the carefully arranged displays and tour-guide rhetoric are contrivances that ultimately give them a false impression of Americas past. No, they walk away feeling intrigued, informed, and certain. Little do they suspect that theyve been royally deceived.

Since its advent, the Smithsonian Institution and its eleven satel-lite museums have been visited by millions of people from all over the world. It is, according to its own PR spin, dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men. Thats nice. But is it true?

Well, no! Unfortunately, as this book reveals, it is not true. Too bad the Smithsonians founders and board of regents decided to obliterate the evidence that contradicted consensual notions about Americas ancient history. Reading of their Machiavellian intrigue compels us to ask, yet again, what our world would be without such egregious censor-ship. Where would we be if humanity had open access to the information that has been sequestered and hidden away from sight? We can only guess.

These are a few of the questions that have perpetually arisen in my mind as, through the years, I delved into relatively unexplored areas of history. Personally, I have long been interested in ancient origins. My father enjoyed taking my brother and me to many megalithic sites in Northern Ireland. He did not have the same interest in them as I later developed, but in his own casual way he marveled at the stone circles and passage graves and made us aware of their mysterious history. That might have been the beginning for me. I dont know.

Later, in the mid-1980s, I decided to revisit many sites to take measurements and photographs. I wanted to make a more precise study of Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth, Tara, Navan, Cong, Grianan de Aileach, Foreword H ix

Dun Aonghasa, and other extraordinary places. Of course, it wasnt long before I realized that what Irish people generally knew about their ancient forebears was largely nonsense.

There was much more to what I was seeing, and I was determined to find out why these places existed, why they turned out to be aligned to the constellations, and why they had been designed so that one site in a field geomantically aligned with every other similar site in the country. I soon discovered that I was not getting my answers from the many contemptuous and myopic tour guides I encountered. It troubled me to think that the situation was probably not very different in other countries of the world. If what I suspected was true, something had to be done. Well, little did I know it at the time, but my real education had begun.

Fortunately I was never inclined to accept the implausible and often blatantly contrived jive I was taught in school and that I read in most mainstream or officially vetted history books. Whatever I found intriguing about the history of my own land, and other places, was frequently labeled and dismissed as mythological. It took time for me to realize that this is one of the most misapplied terms in the English language. In my opinion, it is one of many talismanic words used to entrain minds.
