Description

They Came To Earth Millions Of Years Ago To Spread The Poison Of Hatred, War And Catastrophe... They Are With Us Still... Human history is a seemingly endless succession of bloody conflicts and devastating turmoil. Yet, inexplicably, in the light of astonshing intellectual and technological advancement, Man's progress has been halted in one crucial area: he still indulges the primitive beast within and makes war upon his neighbors. As a result of seven years of intense research, William Bramley has unconvered the sinister thread that links humanity's darkest events -- from the wars of the ancient pharaohs to the assissination of JFK. In this remarkable, shocking and absolutely compelling work, Bramley presents disturbing evidence of an alien presence on Earth -- extraterrestrial visitors who have conspired to dominate Humankind through violence and chaos since the beginning of time...a conspiracy which continues to this very day.… (more)

This is entirely fantastical fiction. This is pseudo-history that cannot possibly be taken seriously. Don't read this, unless you are only interested in having a good laugh.

Mix one part Zecharia Sitchin and one part David Icke and what do you get? The Gods of Eden by William Bramley. Written in 1989, Bramley discusses and uses Sitchin approvingly, and predates Icke. (I wonder if Icke cites Bramley?) The gist of the book is is that aliens, menacingly called "The

Custodians," secretly rule over their slave species homo sapiens, sometimes using human elites/dupes/quislings called, menacingly, The Brotherhood. The Brotherhood uses war, religion, politics, whatever, to keep mankind enmeshed in chains, wars, work, materialism, whatever, ad nauseum, so that they don't know that they are ruled by the Brotherhood and the Custodians. It's a a thesis that you can't prove or disprove. Especially the latter. Every claim the book makes, every event in history, no matter what, can be reduced to a Brotherhood/Custodian scheme to keep man down. Christianity vs. Islam? Both Brotherhood/Custodian. Capitalism vs. Communism? Brotherhood/Custodian. Protestants vs. Catholicism? Brotherhood/Custodian. Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseum. A theory that is un-disprovable is no theory. Besides, each chapter is full of historical errors, category errors, logical errors, interpretational errors. Too many to count. As such, it is drivel.

And the author's final chapters about how to fix things are laughable. Read this about government budgets and debts, from pp.431-432: "Major constructive changes to our world actually do not require much to bring about. As a specific example, the inflatable paper money system, which continues to create indebtedness and instability at every level, can easily be replaced with a stable monetary system by merely ending bank-created money and setting up a system whereby money is issued by national governments in proportion to their gross national products and dispersed without engendering debt. Banks could continue to participate in the system by being the conduit for the release and circulation of the money; but banks could no longer create money on their own. Governments would no longer need to tax anyone or borrow; they could simply allocate to themselves the money they needed to operate, within limits imposed by their gross national products. Under this plan, all debts owed to banks could be instantly forgiven: banks could be paid by the governments for their services in dispersing and circulating the money, and by consumers for consumer services."

Hahahaha. Read this sentence again: "Governments would no longer need to tax anyone or borrow; they could simply allocate to themselves the money they needed to operate, within limits imposed by their gross national products." Hahahahaha. Drivel.
