Review of "The Templar Mission to Oak Island and Beyond" by Zena Halpern (Part 2)

4/7/2017

103 Comments

 
​Yesterday I began my look at Zena Halpern’s Templar Mission to Oak Island. Today, for better or worse, I continue. To refresh your memory: We previously discussed the supposed mystery of a brass box with alchemical and astrological symbols that a man named William D. Jackson claimed to have stolen from Bannerman Island in New York in 1969, a mystery that Halpern learned about from an alleged secret agent named Dan Spartan of the (likely fictitious) Spartan Agency who fed her information through typewritten letters sent from false addresses.
​Chapter 2
The second chapter opens with some of the evidence that Halpern only vaguely alluded to in the first chapter. The first piece of evidence concerns an archival record stating that Francis Bannerman VI purchased a small brass “device” from a J. Roche, Order of St. Andrew on April 22, 1906. According to the receipt (if genuine), the brass box featured a pentagram and “strange characters,” and it came with a Latin certificate from G. Benvenuto of Italy, written in 1820, describing the manufacture of the unusual curio. Bannerman paid $3.65 for the piece, which seems to be a rip-off for an early nineteenth century alchemical curio. Weirdly, Halpern insists on describing the brass curio as a “device” even though the provided photocopy of Bannerman’s receipt clearly identifies it as a “paperweight.” The receipt states that Benvenuto’s text identified the object as a “navigational tool.” My assessment is that the engraving was designed as an astrological / astronomical chart of some sort and therefore was “navigational” in that sense. The date of 1820 seems about right for the object, though not the materials allegedly found within. 
 
The open question is whether the current brass box is the one described or a modern fake. That I cannot judge. Obviously, without access to the original, there is very little we can say from a photograph.
 
Halpern, however, concludes that Benvenuto merely was a middleman and that the object is much, much older, but her reasoning is strange: William Jackson, who likely read the same document Halpern did, alleged that another Benvenuto, living centuries later, sold him a secret Templar document. Thus, the Benvenuto family is somehow intimately entwined with the “mystery,” not least because one of that name wrote a letter to Henry I Sinclair, Earl of Orkney. The trouble is that “Benvenuto,” meaning welcome, is and was a very common name, both first and last, meaning that it is quite difficult to establish any sort of connection. Sadly, Halpern simply accepts the reality of the Zeno Narrative and concludes that Sinclair masterminded a secret network stretching from America to Scotland to Italy.
 
To defend this, Halpern enters into evidence “letters” from the 1700s that she says came from “the Jackson collection.” She does not identify where the letters came from originally, nor has she seen the originals. There are also no photographs of them. They exist only as typewritten transcripts, and I will be blunt: They seem fake. The writing has none of the characteristics of eighteenth century prose, and they sound odd and clunky. The digitized copies of computer-typewritten transcripts (in Times New Roman) included in my edition of the book are too blurry to read every word, but none of the expected mannerisms of Augustan prosody manifest in the writing, and numbers are given in decimal form, unusual in the eighteenth century, when fractions were the preferred notation. Oh, right: the content. The letters claim to describe how to use the device to navigate by the stars and Venus and allege a conspiracy to encrypt said information in “cipher form” (i.e. Theban) to hide it. Really? I mean, come on, the description is hardly very different from an astrolabe. What, pray tell, would be the point of hiding anything?
 
Chapter 3
The third chapter returns to the dubious discoveries of William Jackson, who in 1981 (if we accept the document dates) claimed to have had a 1913 journal that detailed a dramatic escape from captivity by one of Bannerman’s distant Scottish relatives and his secret mission to San Sigismundo in Cremona, Italy to find a secret document that would provide the “key” to an unnamed mystery. Afterward, it seems to say that he went to Africa and crossed to America to go to Hunter Mountain, then the site of a logging operation, and today a famous ski resort.
 
Here is where things take another sad turn. Halpern notes that she has received all of this information piecemeal from super-secret secret agent Dan Spartan, of the CIA-adjacent Spartan Agency. Halpern never met Spartan, nor did she ever speak to him. Instead, in the mid-2000s, she simply received regular packages with “clues” and excerpts from Jackson’s 1981 investigation. Spartan implied that he could not reveal any verifying information because of his “employer,” which Halpern took to mean the CIA. Spartan, who claimed that the “paranoia” of the American post office required him to create fake addresses to send his missives from, nevertheless signed his allegedly real name to them.
 
I don’t suppose Halpern noticed that “Dan Spartan’s” letters and all of the other letters from the whole cast of characters seem to share certain punctuation quirks in common, such as an omitted comma in the salutation.
 
It is beyond the scope of my interest whether the 1913-1914 journal and its accompanying maps and charts are authentic since a twentieth century document cannot speak to the reality of a twelfth century conspiracy. Halpern is working from a copy made by Jackson, she said, in 1970, and she claims to have two original pages. A skeptic might suggest that someone bought a couple of authentic World War I pages and concocted a larger narrative to frame them, or even that the supposed “original” pages were written on old pieces of paper. Convenient, isn’t it, that the original journal vanished after the 1970s? Halpern says that Jackson damaged some of the journal in the 1970s by dousing it in chemicals in the search for invisible ink that he claimed told of a secret trek to upstate New York in search of Templar secrets. “Dan Spartan” handed Halpern the secret code when she didn’t find it herself, and explained how to use misspelled words in the journal to “reveal” Hunter Mountain, near Halpern’s own home.
 
Halpern also expends much energy trying to fabricate a secret society in Scotland called the Order of St. Andrew going back to the Merovingians (!), but it might instead refer to any number of organizations, from the the Russian order of knighthood of that name, to (perhaps most likely) the Scottish fraternal lodge founded in 1872, and the Anglo-Scottish knightly order called the Order of the Thistle, which also went by Andrew’s name. Alternately, the receipt my even be a fraud, but sine Halpern says it exists in a Delaware library, I will assume it is real.
 
Just for fun: Halpern says that a secret Templar document in Jackson’s possession refers to the “Book of Enoch,” which means that our friends the Watchers have a spurious connection here, too!
 
Chapter 4
This chapter analyzes the 1913-1914 journal and the supposed secret code contained within. The incorrectly spelled letter of the first word of every twelfth line spells out their target: Hunter Mountain, here listed in “code” as being in New Amsterdam, the old name for New York. The “code” is so secret that the actual text of the journal specifically states in plain English that the writer headed to “New Amsterdam” on a ship called Quetzalcoatl provided by the mysterious “Order.” My, but the writer did such a great job of keeping the Order and its business secret.
 
Halpern’s analysis of the journal is predicated on a set of beliefs she did not introduce, explain, or defend before using them as evidence, namely the allegation that a “Templar Document” existed in the aforementioned Italian church and is tied to the “Order” whose existence she has not yet established. There is so much speculation that I don’t think there are any actual facts involved whatsoever. Once again, the entire argument rests on accepting that a particular text is genuine, based on uncritical acceptance of “Dan Spartan” and his correspondence delivered from a false address.
 
Chapters 5 and 6
This chapter investigates a secret story discovered in the journal when Jackson applied flames to the pages to reveal invisible ink. It strikes me as odd that the handwriting in the secret code is very similar to all the other handwriting on every document in the book (the G’s for example always feature a rather pronounced crossbar, and all of the N’s are distinctively sharp), but that’s just me. I don’t have a way of quantifying the similarity, especially given the low resolution of the images, meaning that I can only speak from general impressions. My impression is that the writing is all by the same hand. It also strains credulity that all of the people across time all chose to write in block letters when cursive was the preferred style for many centuries.
 
Using this dubious document, Halpern discovers a description of and coordinates for extremely local monuments near her home. I’m going to pause here and note that I am a lifelong New Yorker. My home in Albany is pretty close by to Hunter Mountain—just 50 miles away as the crow flies (about 60 by car). I have literally never heard of any of these “sacred paths” and “prominent” features, like the Devil’s Tombstone, a large rock that marks a state park and campground there. (The rock, a boulder carried down from the mountains by a glacier, was named by Dutch colonists.) The information is hyper-local, and I can’t fathom how a secret international order dedicated centuries to such an obscurity. Even guides to state parks put it below the more famous chair-shaped formation atop the mountain.
 
And just for fun: Hunter Mountain is a recent name, bestowed by John Hunter, its former owner. It had been Greenland Mountain down to the middle 1800s. Would someone in 1913, writing of New York as New Amsterdam to “hide” the truth, have neglected to encode the mountain’s name with its older form?
 
The bottom line is that this whole story looks more and more like a hoax, and I’m not sure what value there is in continuing to look into claims that appear to have been carefully designed to flatter Zena Halpern. How lucky for her to live practically atop a secret Templar treasure trove and to have a super-secret secret-squirrel deliver the proof to her as needed.

100% of reviews on this blog are 100% negative. Visitors here should understand that. These are not “reviews” in the traditional sense, where shows and books are analyzed and critiqued. This is a site where a particular world view is espoused and defended. Jason is not a “critic”—he is a preacher with a small, rabid group of followers who zealously attack those who view the world differently than they do. They have the right to do so, just as Flat-Earthers and deniers of global warming have the right to defend their viewpoints. But visitors to this site should understand what this blog is: It is a place where contrary views are attacked. Not critiqued. Not analyzed. Not weighed. Attacked. Ironically, Jason is not so different from those so-called “fringe historians” he condemns. Where they see 100% certainty in their revisionist history claims, he sees 0% possibility—he has concluded all their claims must be bogus even before he “analyzes” them. Jason and those he despises are, in reality, two sides of the same coin. Of course, neither side is completely right. The world is more nuanced than that. But nuance is something readers will not find here. This is a place for preaching, for true believers.

Okay You Pathetic Acolytes,

Do a google search for “Zena Halpern” + “health” or any other number of search terms and you will find nothing. The only way Jason Colavito could have found this is by trolling J. Hutton Pulitzer’s Facebook page with its long blog posts. And of course Colavito does this. He trolls all sorts of sites to inform his hatred.

You acolytes had tons of clues from me, but your keyboards aren’t anywhere near as sweaty as your hero, Jason. So here’s the only site on the Internet that talks about Zena Halpern’s health.

It's J. Hutton Pulitzer's and your hero used it as one of his "primary sources" that you all so admire.... Except he forgot to tell us where he picked up this fake news so he could drop it into his hate blog.

Seems Colavito admires Pulitzer as a "primary source" when it suits the goals of his hate blog.

The question is not whether the world "is more nuanced" but whether there is any credible evidence to support the views evaluated. To insist on more than idle speculation that something "could have happened" is not what I would call "100% negative." I notice your screed is devoid of any examples--from today's post or otherwise--of any alleged evidence that he ignores or unreasonably criticizes. It makes me wonder what pet theory of yours Jason has debunked. The only irony here is that you've chosen to offer a "100% negative" review of Jason's blog without offering an iota of evidence in support of that review. You'll no doubt consider this an attack on someone with a different view when in fact it's only an insistence that claims made be supported by evidence.

"I'm being attacked" is the sad cry of people who don't understand what critiquing really is. Hint: a critique points out the shortcomings of a piece of work so that the creator can fix them. Unfortunately, fringe writers seem to be too emotionally invested in their own work to step back and really look at it. This, sadly, prevents most of them from improving their skills.

Attacking people for being critical of your work, or the work of your friends, does not improve the quality of the work. If you wish people to be less critical of your work, consider the criticisms and learn to improve your skills. You can wail about it not being "fair" as much as you want, but on the flip side of that, what's "fair" about foisting inadequate work off on the consumer? You're the one selling. It's up to you to please the buyer; the buyer has the money/respect/fame you want and no obligation whatever to give it to you. It belongs to me, you have to make me WANT to give it to you, my friend.

And as far as my work, well, you haven't seen my work because I don't think it's good enough to try to sell to anyone yet, and I am continuing to work on improving my skills, so you can't even accuse me of hypocrisy, since I'm already "practicing what I preach."

Ah, Steve, I guess it depends on your perspective on the backyard. From up here in Albany, everything in the lower Hudson Valley is the "backyard" of New York City. Up here, we look toward the Adirondacks and not the Catskills as our mountain backyard, and a 2- or 3-hour drive to get somewhere is pretty standard. Down in NYC, you probably consider everything north of New Rochelle to be as far away as the moon.

Everyone, this is apparently the part that has given Steve an apoplectic fit:

"Halpern is ill with what her friends have described online as a very serious illness, though I have no knowledge of her current health status.”

Now, according to Steve, this is "fake news." However, look at what I found:

"Now granted, I was very surprised to see Doug Cowell be the “source” of the information, but I do understand why you only were exposed to Zena on the phone. She is terminally ill and cannot leave her apartment."

Notice the "terminally ill" part? Who said that? Why, none other than J. Hutton Pulitzer! Here's the evidence:

They also made accusations that I cannot repeat here. Thus, "friends" plural. But because I haven't confirmed it myself, and "terminal" illness is a rather serious thing to say without proof or permission, I thought it kinder to merely allude to it. It is also nothing I've ever tried to "hide." I've mentioned it before, with Pulitzer's name attached. I didn't feel the need to repeat the whole story again since it isn't relevant and, unfortunately, would involve having to describe Pulitzer and Wolter's dozens of missives and the involvement of our lawyers in an unrelated issue, all of which is irrelevant.

I have been visiting this blog since about 2014 and as a commentor and sometimes troll, and blogger elsewhere, I find that he is fair to these other sites.

It is a free country. Want to rant, you can rant.

If I were to apply journalistic or scientific logic, most of Jason Colavito's arguments do work because he points out the fringe stories first, looks at some of the claims, and yes,judges some of them. He doesn't have to apply logic, but there is some.

So what. This is an editorial blog, not a debate forum, and not a news source. The comments section is for that. That is what a blog is, an editorial, someone's opinion, be it educated or not.

Now if the commentor can give examples of his masterful blog work elsewhere, that would be cheery, but we have every right to ignore it and not read it.

"Jason is not a 'critic'—he is a preacher with a small, rabid group of followers who zealously attack those who view the world differently than they do."

Scott Wolter/Zena Halpern is not a "historian"—he/she is a preacher with a small, rabid group of followers who zealously attack those who view the world differently than they do. Criticism is more effective when it can't be applied to your side, David.

"But visitors to this site should understand what this blog is: It is a place where contrary views are attacked. Not critiqued. Not analyzed. Not weighed. Attacked."

Since she died this past Summer I guess she was nearing the end of her life when discussion of her book devolved into a temper-tantrum about whether she was ill or not and if the mention of an illness needed an MLA source citation or not.
Now I've never been to this blog before and in fact only began watching the show last year when looking through on demand shows to marathon after surgery... I found the constant extrapolations into fanciful links to the supposed treasure by the narrator to be really annoying. I did like the actual finds. Gary I know from finds here in Florida and he has also been on a few searches trying to find The lost royal treasures in 'The Wash". He has always been "too much."
I'm a Butler of Kilkenny which also leads to Plantagenet, House of Normandy, de Clare and yup even have a La Rochefoucauld line. I have several direct ancestors and 'cousins' that died in Acre, Jerusalem, and other battles while on Crusade. 3 of my great grands are buried in Temple Church in London under the dome which is supposed to give some mystical connection to 'the holy mount'. This past summer we had a Butler family Rally in London with a special service for our family in Temple Church.
Trying to find more about my family I have the obnoxious habit of seeking out primary sources so obviously when I see a document mentioned as the basis of the entire supposition that Templars could be one possible creator of a repository on Oak Island I want to get a copy. Looking up the document name only came up with the book by Donald Ruh that is going for $150 right now and one was over 2k on Amazon! Then I looked through more of the google results and found this blog. So that should have enough back story and 'vetting' that I am not eating sweaty crumbs from keyboards.
Dear dear dear St Clair understand that people actually looking for information on your theories are seeing your rantings here and quite frankly have us running for the door shaking our heads thinking "nope uhn uhn not even wasting another secound on anything coming from that level of crazy!" You have completely in a few rants discredited anything that you or your friends may find or say you found.

While I sometimes disagree with Jason's political views his commitment to researching from primary sources to following the chains of myth using critical reasoning is superb. It's easy to reject idiotic claims like Minoan copper miners in the Great Lakes based on how outrageous that sounds but Jason dissects these claims with critical thinking and evidence.
The other side romances alternatives which have no evidence other than that based on wild ass assumptions and daisy chains where one has to believe in more and more things based on progressively no evidence to made up shit.

You mean primary sources like the blog of J. Hutton Pulitzer? He should at least provide a link to that source so we can all have a good laugh at this pathetic attempt at "primary source" research.

SmallNicky wins the prize merely for admitting the truth. And Jason won’t point a link at J. Hutton Pulitzer’s blog post (“primary source”) in which he lifted something he put in his “critical review.” Or will you Jason?

And the acolytes pile on “based on uncritical acceptance of Jason Colavito”

Be careful when you use a term like primary source. You, and people like you, can't seem to figure out what terms like that mean. (See: peer review)

If Mr Brody or Mr stc could answer a question- the image of the drawing of the disc map thing shows a crude outline of north and south America. Yet it shows Europe as a blob in the upper right hand corner. Why would they not accurately depict the European coast on a navigational tool?

No, no, no Big Nick. We won't have any of that here. You know, debating actual points, contradictions and falsification of history. The issue now is how can you know a sick old lady is actually a sick old lady. That's the real question we should be asking and absolutely no credibility can be had for this site absent rectification for this key concern.

No, Joe,

The issue for you is reading comprehension.

Jason quoted one of his many arch enemies, J. Hutton Pulitzer. Yet Jason was not man enough to point a link to his source. He points links to sources that make him look smart (or at least good at Google searches which any 12 year old could do).

Stay with me now Joe.... If Jason had pointed a link to his source, J. Hutton Pulitzer's Facebook post, then that would make Jason look bad for using Pulitzer as a source. So Jason didn't point a link to his source.

And... Jason's acolytes, like you Joe, never question Jason or his sources. They just chew on the crumbs from his sweaty keyboard and his Google searches.

With me so far?

Jason does this often. He uses crappy sources as evidence as long as they can cast doubt on those he is attacking.

Hate blogger gonna hate, Joe. And acolyte gonna love the hate blogger.

With me?

Hey Steve, weren't you that idiot that followed Wolter around through European churches making all sorts of things up on his show right before it was canceled? Nodding in imbecilic agreement to outright foolishness that a grade-schooler could debunk? And you call me an "acolyte"?

No, what I like here is the ability to discuss topics that interest me with intelligent and humorous individuals in an open, and for the most part, unmoderated forum. The boards you frequent however, are closed or tightly moderated. Comments have to be approved as you and your ilk wouldn't dare allow truth, reason or competent critiques from those you have never measured up to. You've always despised that in people, haven't you Steve? You know... smart people. You were never going to be one. You. Wolter. Philjaw. So instead, you promote fantasy to cretins, placing yourself upon a pillar of fabrication.

Nothing you leave will last. Nothing you do will matter. Like a bad joke, soon to be forgotten.

To the person who has nicknamed himself "AMERICANEGRO" - I came to this site to point out that useless assholes like you are useless assholes.

Thanks for your opinion that my posts have something to do with alcohol consumption. You're added so much to the discussion. Anyone who hangs out here as much as you is likely addicted to something dangerous, however I don't claim to know what you're addicted to or that you're addicted at all. I leave that to others to discern based on your behavior, which is clearly less than exemplary.

Seriously, step away for a night or two and take a look at how you spend so much of your free time.

I show up here on rare occasions to attempt to beat some sense into the heads of Colavito's pathetic acolytes. You are showing yourself a worth acolyte. Perhaps Jason will flick a few more crumbs from his keyboard in your direction. You are so very lucky.

Weeeel, to be fair, Cap'n Steve, your posts do sound like someone who's had a snootful and is out to set the world to rights, and the profanities flow in the midnight hour. The alternative is that you post drunken sounding nonsense riddled with personal vendetta and profanity when you're stone cold sober.

On the other hand, alcoholics are never defensive or use the word "asshole" when they're called out on their alcoholism, so maybe I'm misreading your defensiveness and use of the word "asshole".

Help me understand you, Cap'n Steve.

So you Mr STEVESTC troll/read this site on a regular basis. Obviously enough to know who are regulars to the site, and how often they post.
Do you feel like you accomplished anything useful by commenting in such a irrational and hateful manner? Yet you call this site a "hate blogger site".
It sounds more like a jealous colleague spouting off to try to get a following willing to listen to your nonsense. People who don't have time for critical thinking, or thinking at all.
You think you found a kink in Jason's amor and tried to exploit it. Jason makes excellent use of referencing his sources and indeed, critical thinking. He admits to having used Hutton as a source in this very comment section of his blog, in response to your accusations.
I could point out to you when and where to look, but I am not going to do your work for you.
Really, if that's the best you can do to try to discredit Jason then I think you really should just stick to your hero's coattail (scottwolter) and read the drivel that he "allows" to post to his blog site.
Really, critical thinking is obviously not one of your strong suits.
I must agree with one of my fellow commenters and critical thinkers who said "I don't acknowledge a fucking thing you've said on this blog post"
You sir are pathetic.

On top of that, J. Hutton Pulitzer posted on Facebook (at least on the one page he still lets me see) that this is part 1 of a "20 Part Vetting and Correction" of Halpern's claims. So does that mean that Brody and St. Clair will walk back their attacks now that their bosom companions have decided the book is worthy of 20 posts of complaints and corrections? I only needed three.

Such a high-minded group you have here Colavito. The acolytes very rarely contribute more than nasty commentary. And those that do find it, like you, via Google search and nothing more.

Really, you must be so proud of the thing you've built here, Colavito. A group of self-serving trolls hanging out who, like Crabby in days of yore, project their own self-loathing by attacking others. Do any of your acolytes actually contribute anything to the agenda of your hate blog other than petty comments?

Acolytes, take note, this comment is for Colavito. You don’t need to defend him every time I post, unless of course you think he’s too weak to handle dissent himself - and clearly MANY of you think that. (To the hate troll "Merely You," make sure you're first to pile on here)

If you remember, I told David, "Criticism is more effective when it can't be applied to your side, David."

So, let's apply your criticism to your side, shall we?

Such a high-minded group you have there, Steve. The White Knights of Wolter very rarely contribute more than nasty commentary. It's too bad most only know of or find Wolter thanks to this blog.

Really, you must be so proud of your inner circle, Steve. A group of self-serving sciolists hanging out who, like Rev. Gotsch in days of yore, project their own ignorance by defending pseudoscience. Do any of your members actually contribute anything to the agenda of rewriting history other than absurd claims?

White Knights, take note, this comment is for Wolter. You don’t need to defend him every time Jason posts, unless of course you think he’s too weak to handle criticism himself - and clearly MANY of you think that. (To the lead knight, Steve, make sure you're first to pile on here.)

words.

Read that a couple times before you read the next sentence.

If you know how to make a compute scroll upwards, then you'll know that I posted a link to the source turd boy.

So,

you typed the words
"he didn't even know the source of Pulitzers words"
you clearly have damn serious reading comprehension issues.

I don't understand all the vitriol about Zena's health and the source of that information. What about the book? I've read it, cover to cover. I found it full of historical errors and just plain silliness. If someone is interested in true Templar history, I recommend books by Regine Pernoud, Jonathan Riley-Smith, and especially Malcolm Barber.
