  • Alexander Waugh (grandson of Evelyn, son of Auberon) studied music at Manchester University and has since pursued an eclectic career including stints as a record producer, manager and classical music impresario, author of books on subjects including Wittgenstein, God, and his own literary family the Waughs, and as literary and opera critic. He is manager and archivist for largest Evelyn Waugh archive in Europe. He is chairman of the de Vere society, which maintains - with copious evidence, some of which is provided in this podcast - that the works of Shakespeare were in fact written by the 17th Earl of Oxford. You can find out more about his research into de Vere, Shakespeare and contemporaries such as John Dee, Francis Bacon and Ben Johnson at his TH-cam channel

    My college Shakespeare professor refused to discuss questions of authorship when students attempted to ask... sometimes he'd get visibly angry. I found out from one of his grad students a year or so later that he was indeed a skeptic, but was incredibly fearful of his peers, who were hardcore Stratfordians. Anecdotal, to be sure, but I think it speaks to the intense power that the Traditionalists have over those who doubt the official story.

    Thank you, Gentlemen. A splendid discourse. I worked as Deputy head of Sound at The Royal Shakespeare Company, Barbican Theatre, London for 16 years. It was widely known that the pen belonged to Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. I worked closely with Chief Voice Coach, Cicely (Ciss) Berry. Ciss would catch my eye in the Green Room; bribe me with a cigarette and cup of tea. We would go to the Recording Room and hunt through mountains of quarter inch tape, cassette and CD to find her target dialect. I would then copy to short cassettes for Cicely to work with her required actors. Ciss was (I think she passed in 2018) an absolute Queen....of course I should say Princess 🤭. She was a force to be reckoned with. When she was on site in London she would conduct the daily pre show Vocal Warm-Ups in the Main House Auditorium. Ciss was so loved and respected that heavy duty Lead Actors would especially turn up. This was an incredible boost to Company Moral and the confidence building of young Actors. Ciss was down to earth. She had a profound feeling for the delivery of 'The Iambic Pentameter'. She knew ALL the cuss words and would not hesitate to deliver them with consummate aplomb when the situation required. Ciss had the twinkle of a ballet dancer and the audio lexicon of a seasoned Choreographer. The real deal. God bless you, Cicely Berry. ♥️

    What a fascinating interview. I'm a huge admirer of Alexander's grandfather, one of the best authors in the English language. So to hear Alexander talk with such passion and eloquence about the authorship of Shakespeare's plays, and such topics as secrecy and official lies, just blew my mind. I cannot thank you enough James for this and everything you have done especially in the last few years.

    The knowledge and literature stands alone for anyone to discover but it has been expropriated by the middle classes and denied to ordinary people by funneling them into state education. The best schools that teach it are reserved for them. What is worse is that we used to have a plethora of small independent book shops where people could discover interesting books outside the education system. Now they are gone and very few people read. We have entered an age of illiteracy that is ideal for the exercise of tyranny. Thank goodness for the growth in home schooling encouraging individuality and independent thinking. A small ray of hope amidst the descending darkness.

    Having watched a number of Alexander's videos beforehand, it is refreshing to hear him condense so many of his earlier significant points, while bringing out others besides. One's responses are obviously personal, but, for my part, I find I can relate most readily to Alexander's conclusions concerning the Shakespeare Authorship Question, and much else. FWIW I have an empathy also with the experience of Hank Whittemore, in his endeavour to fully understand the Sonnets. As bizarre as it may seem, I had my own damascene moment when addressing myself to the subject of the Whitechapel Murders, wherein one detects the subtle hand of Freemasonry, again manifest in a veil of letters and numbers. As Alexander recounts, it is far from obvious, but once seen it cannot be ignored.

    • @peckerwood6078
      @peckerwood6078 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Truth is stranger than fiction and the fiction associating Freemasonic members and the murders in Stepney is a wishful fiction.
      Masonry has plenty of interesting and sordid associations with individuals like Oscar Wilde and Aleister Crowley not to mention Joseph Smith and his plagiarism of masonic lore to create his own religion. There have been so many corruptions of the Lodge system and masonry like that of "Gods Banker" & P2 that it's difficult for outsiders sometimes to see that corrupt individuals and corporations have used the guise of masonry to shield & disguise their own malevolent aims. Take the weeds out of the garden and you get some pretty wonderful harvests.

    I watched your conversation twice today, as I was doing chores-----I wanted to remember more of the details------thank you! I am posting to you, a URL of a New York Times article, talking about foods which fight cancer. At the top of the list (for me) are artichokes and dandelion roots, which cause apoptosis. (And you understand the Greek.) (I actually studied Greek when I was in college--it makes the world more understandable.) Even if you were to drink off the shelf dandelion root tea, it would help. I have a chronic blood cancer and my numbers are almost normal----I have never had to take chemo. I just want you to be healthy! About 8 months ago, I was watching German lessons (I worked in Germany) and TH-cam suggested your talk about the triple tau and such. It has changed my life. I watch a lot of your talks and the SOF---I am really happy to find out about Edward de Vere, as I have always felt uncomfortable about the Shaksper guy. A friend of mine recently asked me to read "Will in the World.'' When I was finished, I said that we would still have to agree to disagree, because the book was written in the subjunctive. A friend of mine, who has a background in philosophy, told me that since the Chinese traditional medicine, such as dandelion root and magnolia bark--have been used successfully for thousands of years, makes them proved empirically----almost as good as the scientific method. And all medicine was like this, before the discovery of germ theory.

    Now with some coad spelling. I thoroughly enjoyed this even though I’m definitely not the literary type. Well done and thank you!
    Just one thing. I’m very puzzled that you, James, think that Newton’s Principia is junk on a par with the current klighmατε ßolloχ. His laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation stand today. Admittedly they need to be modified when it comes to the very small (quantum mechanics) and the very large/massive and at very high speeds (special and general relativity) but one only has to work with them to see for oneself that how stunningly acute they are at explaining so much about the physical world and so incredibly accurately. But doing so requires a certain level of mathematics without which no understanding is possible. However, that acquaintance can be readily had by anyone prepared to make the effort and is no bar in the way you intimate. In particular Newton’s works are about as far from the utter lighs, schtt and ßolloχ of the κoммιε-ßstard klighmaτε phayckers that it is possible to get.
    By the way, Newton couched pretty much everything in the Principia in geometric terms even though equivalent constructions are more readily apparent when done using his calculus. But mathematicians and natural philosophers (physicists) were familiar in 1687 with geometry and Newton had not published his calculus. He wouldn’t have published anything if Edmund Halley hadn’t pushed him to do so. But when he did, he did so with his intended readership and their capabilities in mind.
    If you want an authoritative view on the Principia I suggest the book by I Bernard Cohen, ‘The Principia: The Authoritative Translation: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy’. About £15 for the 600-page paperback.
    For what it’s worth I agree with almost everything you say about almost everything.
    All the very best to you.

    I might be the only "Shakespeare" researcher to build a comprehensive genealogical "tree" of all the people surrounding the bard. The purpose of which is to construct an entire ecosystem that would point to the real person behind the plays, the sonnets and everything else. I have written a book of 1,000 pages dissecting these findings. It is called "Debugging Shakespeare" and Alexander Waugh has communicated via email with me sympathetically and encouragingly over the last few years (and is mentioned several times in my book). I respect him enormously. He suggested that I make some TH-cam videos - which I have now done. The latest of a series of about 49-50 of them can be found here: -

    Interesting, what are your thoughts on other famous authors not writing their own work though? In particular, I am think of famous women writers like Austen, the Brontë sisters and George Elliot - mainly because education wasn't regarded as something that women required in those days (so acquiring those kinds of writing skills seems out of place) and also the fact that women weren't really in the workplace during those times.

More importantly, they put the key to spiritual growth in verse 10: “Be still, and know that I am God”. I can best put this in a poem: All numbers, be they even, odd, / When well-considered lead to God / The humble mind thus uses will / To know His graces and be still.

    Not sure if my comment sent or flew off into the ethers but I was saying that AW and I sit on opposite sides of the boat, but are pulling in the same direction re the Authorship Question, and the fact Will Shakspur definitely didn’t write the plays. However, Francis Bacon was eulogised (and mentioned in life) as a great poet - see Manes Verulaiamina for starters. He also had the same money problems and there were many who ‘knew’ and left clues that he led the Scriptorium.
    It can create further misinformation when an unsuspecting public hang on to every word from someone, simply because they sound authoritative and come from a literary family. A better way - the middle way - is to present all the information and let people decide for themselves. My book presents the overall picture of what they were up to, whether De Vere, Bacon, Marlowe or whoever, and includes number symbolism, code , cipher etc. I’m not trying to sell my book, rather to sell another broader viewpoint. The Secret Work of an Age: Piercing the Veil. Just out on that big bookstore you mentioned! Amazon. Recommended by Masons even though I’m not one! It’s not true that one can’t know their secrets.

    So the true author (Oxford) was writing for the nation. Which is true, because Oxford was being paid £1,000 a year by Queen Elizabeth to write these plays, for the nation.

      Toby and James have done a recent edition - but only focusing on "Culture Corner". I think they are just doing it monthly now. It's just going to be that though, because of Toby's refusal to see the bigger picture and he still believes it all "incompetence".

    Didn’t William Shakespeare call his son Hamlet or Hamnet (spelling was all over the place then as everyone knows)?

    • @Jeffhowardmeade
      @Jeffhowardmeade 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      In the parish register he was Hamnet, but he was named for Shakespeare’s friend Hamnet Sadler, who was also known as Hamlet in many legal documents, including in Shakespeare’s own will. The names wear basically spoken the same in the Warwickshire dialect.

      William Shakspere of Stratford named his son Hamnet.
      William Shakespeare named his character Hamlet.
      The man from Stratford never spelled his name SHAKESPEARE; the poet who hyphenated his name Shake-speare cannot be linked to Stratford without the jumping through of elaborate hoops combined with more than just a touch of circular logic.

    Does it even matter who wrote the literature attributed to Shakespeare. You can spend years of your life trying to prove that someone else wrote the plays etc. But what if I said to you that God wrote the Shakespearian text. What do I mean by that? I maintain, that truly great art comes from divine inspiration. The artist is a mere conduit for what is received. Yes, he or she will gain a sort of earthly immortality as a result but if we fail to recognise the true source we profit little from the reading.

    • @martinroberts9792

      "if we fail to recognise the true source we profit little from the reading." But surely one has first to identify the appropriate artist?

    4:43 That mathematics teacher wasn’t up to [substance taken up the nose instead smoking a cigarette - YT doesn’t like the word]. The proof of (-1)x(-1) = 1 is extremely simple. Here’s a laboured version to make the steps clear.
    0 = 0 x 0 = ( 1 + (-1)) x ( 1 + (-1))
    = 1 x 1 + 1 x (-1) + (-1) x 1 + (-1) x (-1)
    = 1 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) x (-1)
    = 0 + (-1) + (-1) x (-1)
    = (-1) + (-1) x (-1)
    Adding 1 to both sides gives
    1 + 0 = 1 + (-1) + (-1) x (-1)
    I.e. 1 = 0 + (-1) x (-1) = (-1) x (-1)
    QED, as they say.
    The algebraic properties of the integers used here are the distributive laws, a(b+c) = ab+ac and (b+c)a = ba+ca, and the properties of the additive and multiplicative identities, 0 and 1 respectively; namely 0+n = n+0 = n and 1 x n = n x 1 = n for all n.
    In the more general case, (-1) x (-1) = 1 holds true in any (so-called) ring with a multiplicative identity.
    For further info see, for example, the classic ‘A Survey of Modern Algebra’ by Garrett Birkhoff and Saunders Mac Lane.
    By the way, note that a proof should follow directly from the axioms set down for whatever system is under investigation and will be wholly independent of whether or not those axioms apply in any “practical” case. A “practical” proof, if it is worth anything beyond being a mere heuristic, is not mathematics, and as such is no proof at all.

      See what you're saying and am aware of this concept however while his Knights of the Helmet may well have had some point of inflection on the dynamic Bacon himself was far too busy with his own tome's to have take this ll on in his dynamic life.
      Really not his style from what I can see. Certainly his hand in setting up the Rosecrucian society in America is of great interest as are his other endeavours. Just don't see a handle to crank the pump of posterity for Sir Francis.@@secallen
