The Secret of the Droeshout Mask

[A Phoenix]

THE SECRET OF THE DROESHOUT MASK SYNOPSIS

To the present day the life of Martin Droeshout the enigmatic engraver of the Droeshout engraving prefixed to the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio is completely shrouded in secrecy and mystery. The silence is deafening. What could be the reason for all this secrecy and silence?

The key central reason is the Droeshout engraving on the title page of the Shakespeare First Folio is a mask behind which its concealed author Francis Bacon is hidden in plain sight, which when removed reveals the truth behind the Rosicrucian-Freemasonic illusion and ludibrium that the illiterate/semi-illiterate William Shakspere was the author of the greatest literature in the history of the world.  

Modern orthodox Shakespeare scholars have conspired in an enormous fraudulent conspiracy and very deliberately lied to the world about the so-called incompetence of its engraver Martin Droeshout to maintain the fiction and illusion William Shakspere wrote the Shakespeare plays.

The key elements of any fraud are very often simple and relatively easy to achieve and execute. The orthodox fraudulent Stratfordian scholar has numerous tools at their disposal. Firstly, they are simply able to take advantage of the trust of their naive uncritical readership who are easily persuaded by a perceived authoritative figure or so-called expert with the accompanying title of professor whose works are published by a prestigious university press. Pitifully, this itself is usually sufficient. Or alternatively, in the face of irrefutable facts and evidence the common response of orthodox Stratfordian scholars is either to simply maintain a wall of silence, or resort to crude systematic suppression and omission. Then there is their well-practiced method of arbitrary distortion and dismissal. Not forgetting of course, the blunt instrument of downright lies and mendacity, all of it skilfully woven into their false, deceitful, and fraudulent narratives.

For centuries the Stratfordian authorities have misled and lied to the world about the one critical fact literally staring us all in the face-the Droeshout engraving is very obviously and irrefutably a mask. The reason why they have repeatedly lied to the world and denied it is a mask is because it would immediately expose the illusion William Shakspere of Stratford wrote the Shakespeare works which in a single devastating and catastrophic stroke would bring the whole fraudulent Stratfordian edifice crashing down all around them.    

The secret relationship which has remained hidden for centuries between Francis Bacon and Martin Droeshout the engraver responsible for the iconic image that adorns the title page of the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio is here revealed for the first time, bringing out of the shadows into the brilliant light of day, our sublime poet-dramatist concealed behind the Droeshout mask, exposing and collapsing the greatest literary fraud of all time.

Hi A Phoenix

Your new "trailer" deserves an award for the most effective short video debunking "Shakespeare" as the author of the Folio. Very punchy and love the Elizabethan font.

And yet most of the literary world still accepts the funny face cryptic engraving by Droeshout as like a modern HD photograph of who Shakespeare was!

🙂

A. Phoenix, all of my breath is devoted to fill your sailes of the Bacon ship assaulting mercy itself to allow our indulgence to set Bacon free!!

Hi Phoenixes

A major milestone achievement in Baconian studies. Didn't want it to end... This is what's been missing until now - a whole re-examination of Droeshout's key role in the F.F. ludibrium. Congratulations on a fantastic job!

I dislike the wow emoticon on here, (even though I was the one who suggested we have one 😬) I dislike it because it’s become so overused. Not everything is ‘wow’ (although many thing’s unearthed on B’Hive are deserving of more than just a bland ‘like’) but this, well this, AP, is a wow and more wow! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Videos like this, and the one minute version, deserve to go viral.  Short, punchy and with new revelations.

Brilliant!

Superbly done from start to finish. Deep historical research mixed with common sense = very hard to refute. Thank you Phoenixes for your dedicated labours on our behalf.

Maybe we need a Super WOW! LOL

Haha!

In all seriousness, I think, although maybe lighthearted, to the casual observer who is dropping in for a quick look for the first time from a Google link or whatever, all the emoticons except the blue like do somewhat detract from the seriousness of what is being presented in many posts. Bit cartoonish? That’s just me being frank though. You’ve designed a top notch forum with exceptional functionality, so it’s a small thing in the overall scheme of things. Thanks for what you do x

This forum platform is one used by a huge Hurricane forum I frequent with thousands more active users than our humble B'Hive. They have a "Weenie" hotdog type emoticon some people click when someone says something naive, stupid, or unpopular. Hopefully we never get to that point, even though thousands of users sounds exciting to me. LOL

Hi Lawrence,

This is the Golden Age of Sirbacon.org and B'Hive which serve as platforms for Baconians and other people interested in Lord Bacon, the authorship of the Shakespeare works and the Rosicrucian-Freemasonry Brotherhood all around the world. Platforms provided and managed by you and Rob. Many, many thanks, on behalf of all of us.

Hi A Phoenix,

I lack of words and superlatives to express my feelings after having watched your last videos ! ❤️ Your 1 minute Trailer is captivating, it goes straight to the point and looks the urge of to know more about it.

Hi

I was just watching that great song that Lawrence posted in What’s New 

 

We all know (or I think we do) like the composers of this song, that the bright spot on the Droeshout portrait forehead is a symbolic Sun, representing illumination (and possibly the ‘son (sun) of light’ but looking at it again seems there’s a very distinct crescent moon there too. Has anyone ever commented on this before? It’s  debatable, due to there also being a thinner arc of light under the left eye, but I thought I’d mention it as a possibility. The light under the eye might even be from a later rendition? 

As it’s slightly more obvious under only one eye in this next one.
