I thought you'd all like to know that he's currently working on a new book about Shakespeare.

Apparently he's published a book, but I'm struggling to find it.

Any help?

To quote:

"means of documentary and published evidence although, as I hope to show, documentary and other evidence is the reason, the principle justification, for researching and writing this book."

Even I know that it should be principal.

One of the links leads to some preposterous articles by Lyndon LaRouche about "the Venetian Conspiracy". I am not surprised in the least, great minds etc. Here's a little gem:

Finally, by about 1800, after three centuries of subversion, French society had been degraded to the point that Frenchmen were willing to submit to the dictatorship of a foreigner - of a Venetian. The cabal of the libertines had set the stage for the Revolution, the Terror, and for Bonaparte. France's most famous dictator turned out to be a post-1380 Genoese Corsican and therefore a de facto Venetian, revealing the open secret that so much of the dark side of French culture had been produced by the Venetians all along.

Didn't Nixon say, We're all Venetians now?

How do you guys find this stuff? I guess it's nice that these guys exist so that no matter what I believe, someone out there has yet crazier beliefs.

Well what makes him particularly awesome is that even on conspiracy-like forums, he's still the crazy one, and usually ends up getting banned because of his unbridled passion for seeking the truth.

That's it exactly; he is really quite stunning that way. To stand out as  true nutter in an entire world of nutters takes a special talent, and Rob was blessed with it in abundance! :)

The Cabal of the Libertines!  What a great title for one of those humid bodice-rippers sold in supermarkets!

Yes, you missed the presence of Robert Newman alias Bobby Neumann alias Robby the Rat and otherwise known as Gulp-Gulp Binks, the even more fascinatingly annoying brother of Jar-Jar.   :o

Did you know that, according to Robby,  Mozart stole most of his compositions from second-and third tier composers?   :o   0:)

It is quite amazing how, without exception, they all wrote their very best music using Mozart's name.
