Description

A few years ago I stitched together this unofficial documentary on Francis Bacon from a longer four-hour documentary that came out about 20 years ago. Many of you probably haven’t seen it so I thought I’d repost it. It discusses the secret aspects of Francis Bacon’s life, focusing in particular on his role in masterminding the American Revolution. Manly P. Hall is also discussed, with Peter Dawkins (a guest I’ve interviewed on the podcast) also featured. 

What’s interesting about the original documentary is that it features really good information and research, but it’s made from the perspective of someone (Christopher Pinto) invested in biblical Christianity, who views secret America’s history (as well as the entire subject of esoteric philosophy) with suspicion and ridicule. So when you watch this, you’ll notice an ominous mood to the material presented, as if it was representative of something dark and evil. I of course don’t view it as evil, which is why I re-edited a selection of footage from the documentary to feature only the aspect of its material that I think is solid. By taking out the original director’s editorializing, there’s actually a solid documentary here.

One day I hope to find the resources to make my own documentary on this topic. Until then, enjoy this unofficial presentation. And thank you to Christopher Pinto for making the original source footage.
