Writer and researcher David Southwell joins us to discuss his work exposing secrets and lies. In our conversation, David explains how he was always interested in the hidden secrets of the world and how this propelled him to his current vocation. He describes various aspects of research, particularly as applies to eso-research and conspiracies. The importance and relevance of these lines of inquiry are obvious when he describes his relationship with Alexander Litvinenko. Also, not to be missed is his knowledgeable description of disinformation, and how it is spread so effectively. As David wrote in his excellent book, “Secrets and Lies”: “The biggest lie you have been told is that you have no power to change the world, but the biggest secret is why, when you realise this, you don’t get up off your backside and do something about it.” relevant links: David Southwell’s blog - English Dreaming, English Rain “David Southwell” Wikipedia entry “Secrets and Lies” by David Southwell on Amazon UK books by David Southwell on Amazon US “On the Importance of Eso-Research in the Modern Aeon” Ben Fairhall’s Battling the Behemoth “Alexander Litvinenko” Wikipedia entry intro music by HipGnosis (new EP) Technorati Tags: eso-research, conspiracy, secret societies, occult, espionage, disinformation, history Less
