Scott Wolter's Latest Claims about American Exceptionalism, Native Americans, and Papal Prophecy 

12/28/2013

23 Comments

 
The sheer volume of fringe stupidity broadcasted and printed each week is overwhelming. Even in my little corner of the world, ancient history, the amount is simply astonishing. If I had no actual job and spent all day doing nothing by evaluating fringe history claims, I would never be able to fit it all in. Take, for example, Rene Barnett’s NightVision radio show on LA Talk Radio, a program that has plenty of fringe history and which I usually have no time to listen to.

Airing weekly, the show supposedly covers all things paranormal but in recent months has focused largely on what I have come to call the Scott Wolter special: Holy Bloodline-Templar-Freemason-Oreo Cookie conspiracies. This also happens to be Barnett’s central area of interest. She produced a documentary about the alleged Holy Bloodline in 2009. Barnett convinced Scott Wolter to come to France to investigate her Holy Bloodline mystery in 2010, based on information in her documentary about the “discovery” by Ben Hammott of the Holy Bloodline tomb in France, which Hammott (whose real name is actually Bill Wilkerson) admitted in 2012 was an elaborate hoax, causing significant damage to Barnett’s reputation, by her own admission. Wolter reported the story in disjointed form in Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers.

Over the past few weeks, Barnett has discussed the Holy Grail in America (Oct. 31 and Nov. 14), the Priory of Scion (Nov. 28, repeating an earlier episode), the Knights Templar (and King Arthur!) in America (Dec. 12), the origins of Freemasonry in the Book of Enoch (Dec. 19), and so on. She capped it off Thursday night with, of course, Scott Wolter himself.

I don’t listen to this show regularly because, frankly, Rene Barnett is not a very engaging radio personality.

Scott Wolter announced that season 3 of America Unearthed has been commissioned and that it will continue to explore the Knights Templar and their connections to France and Portugal, but the show has not settled on a “final storyline” for the upcoming Templar episodes. He said, however, that he will be exploring St. Bernard of Clairvaux and the founding of the Templar order. He also plans to trace the “older” history of “early Templars that came here prior to Columbus and intermarried with Native Americans,” which I imagine is news to Native Americans.

Barnett asked if Wolter would consider a spinoff focusing on non-American topics, a sort of World Unearthed. His reply was telling, not because it is true but because it reveals so much about his ethnocentric worldview that sees his home as the navel of the world:

We do always want to try to bring it back to America, and a ‘World Unearthed’ would, in my opinion, in just about every [case] and in just about every continent there would be a connection to ancient North America and what is now the United States…

He then launched into his first tirade of the evening about “academia,” which he asserts claims that there was a “fence” around the Americas until Columbus. This is obviously false since “academia” was thrilled to find L’Anse-aux-Meadows (Vikings) as well as—and this is one Scott Wolter just does not care about at all since it comes from the wrong direction—evidence of Polynesian voyages to South America. Further, there were several known migrations by Asian peoples into the Americas, by the ancestors of the Native Americans, who did not all come at once. The last were the Inuit.

Barnett mentions her earlier discussion of the Templars with Rick Osmon, a fringe author who explores pre-Columbian Old World visits to America. Barnett says that according to Osmon, “Manifest Destiny” (which was never an official U.S. policy) is why academia and the American government are conspiring to prevent “us” (non-experts) from learning about Old World voyages to America. Wolter agrees and says that the Founding Fathers had a “land-grab” plan focused on two tenets: dehumanizing Native Americans to justify taking their land and (b) promoting the myth of Columbus to claim that America was virgin land, unclaimed by European powers and ripe for the annexation. The conspiracy must run deep since elements of the founding generation fought bitterly with Jefferson over whether it was even permitted for the president to expand the country’s borders.

But this is interesting: In Wolter’s view, the government suppressed the truth in order to deny that Native Americans are really white people in order to justify committing genocide. The unspoken idea is that if Old World peoples “intermarried” with Native Americans, then Native Americans are really white, and therefore should be treated better. This is incredibly patronizing and belies the fact that many early Americans actively believed that many Native Americans were descended from medieval Welsh or the Lost Tribes of Israel but went ahead and expelled them from their lands anyway because money is more important than ancient history. The Mormons went so far as to declare the Native Americans both Lost Tribes and cursed by God.

Wolter then claims that the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. government destroyed pre=Columbian non-Native archaeological sites and “buried” artifacts in the archives to suppress the truth about the partial European ancestry Native Americans.

Remember: Wolter is the one arguing that we should view Native Americans as hidden white people. I’m not the one doing this. He wants to make Native Americans into Europeans.

Both Barnett and Wolter agree that the “world” was always integrated and connected and America has always been a central theater in world history, dating back as far as we care to look. Wolter claims that the people who watch America Unearthed are reacting well to this America-centric view and are “interested” and “want to know more” about the centrality of America in world history. He then blasts “academia” again for trying to “put down” artifacts that Wolter has authenticated. And here I thought that the Smithsonian and the U.S. government eradicated this stuff. Silly me. They are bad at conspiracy.

Wolter declares that Tucson Lead Artifacts, discovered in the 1920s with excerpts from a late nineteenth century Latin grammar textbook inscribed on them, to be “absolutely” genuine and their archaeological context “pristine.” He again claims academics refuse to admit this.

Wolter calls the Rock Wall of Rockwall episode (S02E03) his favorite from Season 2, and (please note, Steve St. Clair), Barnett said that the first thing she remembered from the episode was how impressive it was to see Wolter driving heavy machinery. Wolter agrees, saying in jest that he is “a man of many talents.” Barnett says she was shocked to discover that the “obviously” manmade all was a natural feature, but she is unable to abstract this lesson to other fringe phenomena, remaining convince that everything else is exactly what it appears to her to be. Wolter confesses that he knew the wall was natural from the first moment he saw the site, proving again that the episode was heavily manipulated to generate an hour’s worth of mystery out of two minutes of content, and that Wolter was acting when he pretended to see a mystery.

After this, Wolter takes a moment to blast the Minnesota state archaeologist, Scott Anfinson, whom he accuses of refusing to discuss “details” of Wolter’s various claims, instead preferring to “tell us what he thinks” rather than detail reasons why Wolter is wrong. “Scott Anfinson I don’t think was totally forthcoming with all the information that he knew, and so I’m just being honest. That’s my opinion, but he’s been very vocal in his opinion against the [Kensington] Rune Stone.” Barnett expresses exasperation that Wolter is being “attacked” by people that Wolter says are “saying things that aren’t true.” He says that skeptics are calling him names but that this doesn’t bother him. “It’s about the evidence. It’s not about me.” Right: His evidence remains on a spectrum from faulty to fake, as he will shortly prove in this very interview.

Wolter then announced that he will be working with Simcha Jacobovici, the Canadian filmmaker known for his advocacy of the so-called Jesus tomb, to explore an undisclosed mystery related to the Bible, a book Wolter admitted in print to not having read. Even Barnett expresses skepticism about Jacobovici’s claims, which surprised me. She thinks he’s “nice” but that she can’t agree with his conclusions. I imagine this has something to do with Christianity and the way Jacobovici’s work would, at face value, undermine the tenets of faith and possibly contradict her own Holy Bloodline claims.

Barnett complains about “armchair critics” who fail to put forward “new evidence.” Wolter disagrees and says that he learns from those who disagree with him. He says he looks forward to disagreement as long as it isn’t “personal,” “condescending,” or “negative.” He asserts that critics, which I guess must include me, shouldn’t get upset when Wolter disagrees with them and vice versa. “When I’m dealing with people who see something differently, I want to listen to them. I want to see where they’re coming from.” He tried to have A+E Networks to sue me to stop me from criticizing him, his trademarked “Hooked X®,” and his show, so I’m not sure I’m willing to take him at face value that suddenly everyone should be happy friends who just happen to disagree about history. He then blames “certain elements of academia” for opposing him bitterly, but he says that “open-minded, objective academics” are great, and that there’s really a mix of good and bad academics. This would certainly seem to contradict his repeated refrain.

Wolter next discusses “connections” between his work and those of other fringe theorists, which he views as uncovering a “matrix of connections” in world history that each researcher sees a small part of. He then discusses the Prophecies of the Popes, which I cannot believe he takes completely at face value. He asserts that the prophecies, published in 1595 (Latin text here), really are the work of their putative author, the eleventh-century Saint Malichy, whom Wolter views as connected to the Templars. But even taking at face value the prophecies, dismissed by the Catholic Church and nearly all historians as a sixteenth-century forgery (they suddenly stop being accurate after 1590), they do not say what Wolter asserts. He claims that the prophecies say that in “2012” [sic] the pope would resign and the new pope would be from outside of Europe and the last one before the coming of the New Age. The prophecies list 112 popes, and the current pope is the 112th successor to St. Peter. Here is exactly, in its entirety, what the prophecy says about pope 111, the next to last: “Gloria olivae” (Glory of the Olive). That’s it. No resignation, no year, nothing. Just olives. As for pope 112, the final pope? No, nothing about him being non-European. It calls the final pope “Peter the Roman” and says he will “pasture his sheep” before Rome is destroyed.

Barnett and Wolter then discuss papal politics, and Wolter suggests that Pope Francis “could have connections to people on the other squad” (if I heard this correctly) and that “there is more going on here” than the selection of a popular pope. I don’t know what this means. Wolter calls Catholicism a “dying institution” but likes the pope. Barnett and Wolter want the pope to open the “secret” Vatican archives, and Wolter asserts that the Church is suppressing “explosive” documents, including as many as 30% of the Dead Sea Scrolls. He claims that the Church knows which Europeans first visited Central America. “How did they know about all the gold,” he asks, if no one had been there prior to the Spanish? I guess the fact that the Native peoples had literally tons of gold covering all their temples and idols wasn’t enough of a clue.

Barnett wants to know why no one has stormed the Vatican or broken in to find the hidden pre-Columbian travelogues. She also thinks that the Vatican is hiding “the lost Book of Enoch,” to which: What? Enoch was published centuries ago.

Wolter says he’s currently researching the Priory of Sion, a non-existent secret organization originating in a French hoax from the 1950s, which he believes really exists and is connected to the Freemasons and the Rosicrucians.

As the show comes close to its end, Barnett discusses being taken in by Ben Hammott’s hoax connected to the Jesus Bloodline, which destroyed her lucrative Holy Bloodline cottage industry and shattered her feeling that Holy Bloodline researchers were a “family” working toward a single aim. Wolter compliments her for how she handled the aftermath of the hoax, and he asks her to read more about the Priory of Sion. Barnett and Wolter speculate about whether they can “prove” that people they know are secretly members of the Priory of Scion. “It’s impossible to know,” Wolter says.

The matter relating to the "Secret" archives of the Vatican - or Archivum Secretum Apostolicum Vaticanum - needs clarifying:

"While the documents held within the Vatican Secret Archives aren’t secretive, they aren’t exactly open for public viewing. Any researcher or scholar who knows precisely what document he or she seeks to see will be given access to it. You must either consult the indices or note a specific source outlining which you’d like to see.

Being a researcher or scholar won’t automatically gain you access to the archives, though. You have to complete an application for access, prove that you are pursuing specific scientific research, and submit your application with a letter of application from someone already recognized by the archives or with experience in the field of research. The staff members at the archive feel it is important to know that you understand the process behind the field of archival records."

My art history teacher did her doctoral thesis in the Vatican Secret Archives. She told us that the application process wasn't even all that rigorous--about on par with being admitted to a good 4-year university these days. She used to talk a lot about actually BEING places that she was showing us slides of, and about seeing some of the works of art and documents stored in the ASAV, and how some of them will never be seen outside the Archives because they're just too delicate to take it, but they're amazing to look at.

Considering she wasn't anybody particularly special--particularly at the time, given that she was your average grad student in art history and conservation--I'm pretty sure this bears out that the ASAV is more or less just a really big Rare Books Collection, so to speak.

A concordance of the complete Dead Sea Scrolls was in existence long before all the translated and facsimile documents were published. There is no "secret" or "hidden" material in existence in relation to the Dead Sea Scrolls.

I wonder if the reference to the "lost Book of Enoch" isn't implying that there's a missing 4 Enoch, to go with 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch. Considering how alt history people have made the original Book of Enoch so central to their thinking, I can see how someone might decide that the Vatican is hiding another related book because of reasons.

I'm not expressing my opinion over the surrounding input, but I think there may be a misunderstanding underway concerning the new Pope, as seen in prophesy, and as recorded here in speculation.

Jason, speaking of Wolter: "He claims that the prophecies say that in “2012” [sic] the pope would resign and the new pope would be from outside of Europe and the last one before the coming of the New Age."

I think when this is looked into, one will find that the prophecy about the "last Pope" is considered fulfilled, as the man is a German. I think for the purposes of prophesy, the man, though from South America, is seen as fulfilling the "European" angle.

So, in effect, Wolter should be saying, or he should be quoted as saying, "New Pope would be from INSIDE of Europe."

Actually, Pope Francis I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He isn't German, and can't fulfill the "European angle". Jason's quotation is, therefore, correct.

What I do find interesting, is that, according to bibleprobe.com:

"The problem with the prophecies as listed in The Prophecies of St. Malachy, published by the Thomas A. Nelson, a Catholic Publishing House, is that Malachy's original works listed only 111 Popes, not 112, as given in the TAN version of the prophecies. Sometime between the first and subsequent printings the 112th, Petrus Romanus, was added to Malachy's prophecy. It was added after the 1820 publication of the prophecies."

That can't be true. The Latin text of the prophecies that I linked to was published in 1595 and has Petrus Romanus in it. The trouble is that Malachy didn't write the prophecies, and they weren't published until nearly 400 years after his death.

12/29/2013 09:49:07 am

Yeah, I noticed that in the link you provided. That's why I found the claim from bibleprobe.com interesting. Almost as interesting as the efforts to link Pope Francis to Petrus Romanus.

Gunn

Of course, Only Me, I meant he is South American, of German blood, or background. If I'm not mistaken, the prophesy said someone from Europe would become the last Pope. By extrapolation, someone with a bloodline from Europe (Germany) would suffice. I'm not saying this, someone else explaining the prophesy has said this...which makes me wonder whether the quote, above, was supposed to say Inside of Europe, not Outside of Europe. But if the prophesy is a hoax, it's a mute point.

From what I understand, his father was from Italy's Piedmont region and his mother came from a family of Piedmontese-Genoese origin; again, he isn't German by blood or background.

Due to his Italian ancestry, there are those who think he is the Petrus Romanus mentioned by St. Malachy.

Jason Colavito link
12/29/2013 10:29:18 pm

The prophecies say nothing about the last pope being from anywhere. People are reading all of that into the word "Romanus" (the Roman) in an attempt to make the prophecy fit the facts.

I would imagine that it's impossible just to keep up with the dubious claims about ancient history that are just posted on a daily basis on YouTube. Just one example, from the "Spirit Science" channel. I has the lost continents of Lemuria and Atlantis, Martians running things on earth, aliens and psychic powers building the pyramids, and Jews are from space.

I so do not envy the job of seeking this out and debunking it as it comes. It's like needing to build a new damn every time it floods, and it floods at least once a day!

Speaking of floods, did you hear the one about Noah's Flood being caused by all the water on Mars suddenly being blasted off the planet with the atmosphere?

The nice thing is most of these people don't have to be debunked. If their main source of "wisdom" is channeling fifteen foot blue Atlantean priests (real claim, can't cite the name off the top of my head) or using their psychic powers to "see how it really was" they can be written off as fanatics and attention seekers.

Unless they're able to objectively prove the existence of their magical powers or provide physical evidence of giant blue overlords they're just cranks trying to make a buck- or worse, delusional and trying to make a buck.

Can anyone explain to me, like I'm five, why it is impossible that the American Indians cannot be the product of Ancient Asians and Ancient Europeans. Some of my Amerasian friends look like Native Americans. My daughter is white and Mexican but mistaken for being half Asian. I realize I could google DNA.

It's not that it's "impossible" but rather that there is no evidence of any Europeans in America before Columbus (except, briefly, the Vikings in 1000 CE). Many Native Americans today have mixed ancestry with some non-Native ancestors, but this occurred after the Contact period. DNA markers indicate that Native Americans originated in Asia, not in Europe.

This whole obsession with the Masons/Templars (or vice versa) is truly odd--I mean, I mostly associate them with my granddad, a very active Mason and a less likely candidate for dark conspiracy couldn't be imagined. Not to mention those slightly desperate membership ads I see on Cable. Can't imagine SPECTRE or KAOS doing that.

Anyway, as these pseudo-histories go I don't think any of 'em are a patch on Dashiell Hammet. Maybe Wolter could work on proving the Maltese Falcon was based on a true story. Not sure if Bogart was a Mason but Sydney Greenstreet, maybe. I gather there are some Templar references in Casablanca too, and how many actors can look that natural wearing a fez?

Oh my god--I just thought: maybe this whole dark-conspiracy thing really IS a dark-conspiracy--aimed at boosting the cachet of a dwindling organization as brand enhancement for their membership drive. Is Wolter a Mason, does anyone know? And if not, why doesn't he just join 'em and get it over with?
