Into the Lion's Den

As I write these words very early in the day I can see from my office window that a beautiful near full Moon is just about to slip over the western horizon. This is entirely appropriate because today is the day I launch my new website interventiontheory.com.

The appearance of the site coincides with the publication of my new book, Intervention, which will be available on October 11^th , though it  is already available as an ebook. Strangely, I find that I am really quite nervous about the prospect of this book appearing. I say ‘strangely’ because this is at least my fourteenth book and, as a rule, by the time a new book goes through all the various stages involved in publication, I am already well into writing the next one. As a result I have generally somewhat left the previous title behind. That’s the life of a professional writer, or at least it’s certainly the life of this one.

So What’s Different This Time?

Intervention is the culmination of a lifetime’s research into some of the most potent mysteries our world and our species has to offer. The problem is that although I hope Intervention will be a fascinating and compulsive read, I know that in the minds of some people it will be certain to see me branded as, at the very least eccentric and at worst a screaming madman who has completely lost touch with reality.

You will understand why this is the case when you learn that the thrust of my book is the suggestion that Earth’s Moon is not a naturally occurring object but rather a carefully and deliberately created device, custom built to assist life to both develop and flourish on the Earth. If this isn’t bad enough, Intervention makes the claim that the agency responsible for planning and building the Moon was humanity itself! Beyond this I go on to demonstrate that history is littered with deliberately created clues, placed there to eventually make us realise what we did and therefore what we will ‘have’ to do.

If I’m lucky enough to get any sort of attention from the mainstream press I can imagine what they will say about both me and the notion. The whole subject dealt with in Intervention is based on 30 years of diligent research but since newspapers generally manage to get things completely wrong in an article of only a couple of paragraphs, they are likely to have a field day with what I’m suggesting.

The purpose of this blog is not to try and convince you of the validity of my findings. Anyone who wants to prove or disprove it for them self can view the website or, better still, read the book. The blog, on the other hand, is merely to express the ‘human’ side of managing to annoy or even enrage mainstream scientists, a host of religious denominations, leading politicians, many Ufologists, historians, archaeologists and heaven knows who else. This I will manage to do simply by exposing an idea that seems to fly in the face of both inherited wisdom and plain common sense.

Very few people in this world are ‘odd’ enough to willingly expose themselves to public ridicule, unless they are a certain sort of person from Essex or those who choose to appear on the Opra Winfrey show. But what do you do if you are ‘certain’ about something, even something that sounds utterly crazy when expressed in a single sentence, except write a book about it?

To be fair I suppose I could have kept my mouth shut altogether or at least refrained from something that is about as subtle as exposing my genitals in the middle of Hyde Park on a hot August Saturday afternoon. The problem is that, to me at least, there is nothing remotely odd or unlikely about the suggestions I am making. They come at the end of countless thousands of hours of investigation. At each stage I stuck as closely as I could to the evidence that presented itself and ultimately arrived at the only conclusions that were either logical or likely.

 

Maybe Odd but Not Barking Mad

I’m sure if you knew me personally you would describe me as perhaps a little odd in some ways but generally fairly sensible, often quite funny and sometimes even intuitive, and as far as I am aware I have no overt desire to seek undue attention. As an example, I live in a small Northern English seaside town, where, to my wife’s annoyance, I have never sought to place any of my books in the shops or even the public library. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I seek anonymity but at the present stage of my life I have no desire whatsoever to fill the position of village idiot or to stand in the stocks every weekend so that people can throw rotten cabbages at me. So why didn’t I employ my time in writing an amusing children’s book or even a slightly racy novel about a woman who seems determined to reform a man with extremely dubious sexual proclivities?

The plain answer is that the truth is the truth and, if there is sufficient proof, it cannot be anything else. Whilst there are many situations in life about which we can’t be certain – for example the reality, form or nature of God, we can be sure that the dawn will follow the night; and what is more we know exactly ‘why’ this will happen.  There may well be people in the world who assume that a magic pixie sitting on a cloud makes it rain sometimes, or that thunder is truly the angels moving the furniture around in heaven, but if we look at the evidence we ‘know’ that this is not the case. Similarly, if ‘all’ the facts are born in mind – and not just the ones that we ‘want’ to look at, there is absolutely no way that Earth’s Moon could have come into being and eventually occupied the orbit it keeps, on its own and by the random laws of chance and simple physics.

At the end of the day it’s all a matter of ‘probability’. The laws of probability don’t prevent me from putting a pound or two on the lottery each week, but I don’t run away with the idea that it is very likely I’ll ever win a jackpot. To assume that I will would be to ignore the fact that the odds against it are something approaching fourteen million to one. That’s fine, because all I’m going to lose is a small amount of money, some of which goes to good causes in any case. But if I suddenly began to win the jackpot every week, for months on end, it’s an odds on certainty that something else is taking place, and whatever that ‘something’ is, it’s worth looking into.

 

So here I go – into the Lion’s den. Of course there is always the probability that my argument will be solid enough to make experts from all disciplines totally ignore me. I know from past experience that this is what they do when they are faced with something they cannot counter by rational argument or proof. We’ll see, and in the weeks and months ahead I’ll keep you informed.

 

In the meantime I rely on that much overplayed but nevertheless sensible suggestion put forward by Arthur Conan Doyle in the words of his ace detective Sherlock Holmes.

 “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!”.
 

My only other course of action in order to win from this situation would be to corner the market in the sale of rotten cabbages!
