The researchers of the mysteries of Abbé Saunière of Rennes-le-Château (unknown before the mid 1950s), represent the Head of the Hydra that continues to multiply forevermore.

I remember when visiting Rennes-le-Château during the early 1990s, witnessing several old ladies in their late 60s and early 70s when one of them – holding several books and brochures in her hands – commented in passing: “I have just bought all these, they all look like they have all been cooked-up as well” – thus demonstrating that not all people who visit the village are necessarily all loonies.

In actual fact, this represents only one subject matter out of literally many other hundreds of other such bogus mysteries.

For example, there is Nick Pope, Luis Elizondo and Chris Mellon all suggesting that FLIR, GIMBAL and GOFAST are actually technological craft from Outer Space (they are known to use the word CRAFT, rather than the obvious description anomalous terrestrial phenomena).

Another example – the Crystal Skull – was featured in an episode of the series The UnXplained (hosted by William Shatner). It completely failed to mention the object was a well-known fake – having been bought by F. A. Mitchell-Hedges for £400 in Sotheby's on 15 October 1943 from Sydney Burney (the Crystal Skull was originally called “the Burney Skull”). His adoptive daughter, Anna Mitchell-Hedges later claimed to have discovered it. (William Shatner cannot be blamed for this; he's merely the presenter of the series.)

So it goes – a hilarious testimony to the gullibility of Mankind. The Human Species may have been intelligent enough to invent things like Medicine, Money, Transport and other factors representing Social Infrastructure that makes Life tick – but there are a percentage of people revealing a psychological type that cannot shake off the addiction to invented absurdities that are nothing but figments of the imagination. Not only are these elements believed in – they are nurtured, cared for and protected – deemed to be sacred and holy and treated as if they were sacred religions, but presented in the form of real historical, scientific and technical arguments (the more cerebral, the better).

There are two types of such people. Those who are genuinely gullible – and those that are genuine fraudsters, tricksters and liars. Both types of people feed off each other.

The evidence lies all around us. On television, In books, magazines and newspapers. On the Internet in the form of podcasts, videos and articles. In conferences and symposia. Even in the heart of Government.
