Michael Blanding, The North Delusion, and his Ignorance about the Life and Writings of Francis Bacon and his Authorship of the Shakespeare Works

by A. Phoenix.


In the last few years the self-taught scholar Dennis McCarthy has received an enormous amount of publicity through his work recently republished in paperback with the dubious title Thomas North: The Original Author of Shakespeare’s Plays which ‘has garnered worldwide attention (including coverage in The New York Times, The Guardian, Time Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe Magazine, U.S. News, etc).’. The central contention of his celebrated book is that Thomas North (1535-1603), the supposed translator of Plutarch’s Lives, wrote more than thirty plays largely for the Earl of Leicester’s acting company, which were later adapted and reworked by William Shakespeare (i.e., William Shakspere of Stratford) in the 1590s and early 1600s.

The Six So-Called Signatures of William Shakspere of Stratford and ‘Hand D’ in the Manuscript of the Shakespeare Play Sir Thomas More Written by Francis Bacon

by A. Phoenix.


The complex manuscript of Sir Thomas More written by Bacon was produced in his literary workshop in a process that saw him direct its various scribes and copyists as it evolved over a period of many years which accounts to a large extent for its complicated state. The so-called Original Text comprising sixteen leaves is a fair copy or transcription of his manuscript (‘foul papers’) or a copy of the complete play as he initially first conceived it. The Additions some directly dictated by Bacon to his scribes and the copyists working from earlier drafts required later revisions and amendments and other forms of authorial and editorial intervention.

Some aspects of the seemingly impenetrable and intractable problems the manuscript gives rise to may never be fully or satisfactorily resolved. Most importantly, however, more than four hundred years after its original composition the overwhelming and irrefutable evidence much of it produced here for the first time confirms beyond any doubt that the Shakespeare play Sir Thomas More was written by Francis Bacon our secret Shakespeare.

The Story of Magic by Frank B. Rowlett (with a Foreword and Epilogue by David Kahn) the most Decorated Cipher Expert with Friedman in US History Secretly Reveals Bacon is Shakespeare

In recent times a very substantial body of academic literature has been produced by critics and commentators surrounding the subject of Shakespeare and anagrams.1 In the words of Professor Fowler in his own influential Literary Names Personal Names in English Literature (Oxford University Press, 2012) ‘Shakespeare’s many anagrams in the Sonnets (1609) were lost from view for centuries until R. H. Winnick’s closely argued article (2009) startled the scholarly world’ in which he revealed ‘embedded letter anagrams on WRIOTHESLEY’. Read more >>

The National Security Agency (NSA) the Most Secretive Arm of US Intelligence (Codes and Ciphers) and the Plaque awarded to Colonel Fabyan and his Riverbank Cipher Department which Contains Ciphers Revealing Francis Bacon, Brother of the Rosy Cross, is Shakespeare

The all-seeing National Security Agency (NSA), the most secretive arm of US Intelligence has developed into the most complex and comprehensive world-wide signal intelligence operation the world has ever seen. It has taken cipher and codebreaking to almost undreamed levels of supercomputer driven technical dominance and through its BRUSA Agreement (Britain-United States Agreement) to facilitate co-operation between US Intelligence and GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters) and UKUSA (United Kingdom and United States of America Agreement) that also includes cooperation in Signals Intelligence (codes and ciphers) between Cananda, Australia and New Zealand, the full extent of its technical mastery over all mediums of communication around the globe, is only truly known to the invisible powers who secretly control and direct its operations.

British Intelligence and Bacon’s Bi-literal Cipher Revealing his Secret Story

Around the time General Cartier was endorsing Mrs Gallup’s bi-literal cipher decipherments in a series of articles in French periodicals, an article appeared in the now obscure and defunct Cassell’s Weekly apparently written by a British intelligence officer who had secretly operated in France throughout the first World War at GHQ. The virtually unknown article fortuitously appeared exactly three hundred years after the publication of the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio in the May edition of 1923. Read more >>

“In the Spanish-speaking world, María José Falcón y Tella stands out among those authors who have studied the theme of law and literature in its diverse modalities,” writes Carla Forelli, Professor of Legal Philosophy at the University of Bologna, in her foreword to Falcón y Tella’s The Law in Cervantes and Shakespeare (xiii). She goes on in her foreword to praise Falcón y Tella’s prior book, Derecho y Literature (Madrid: Marcial Pons, 2015; translated as Law and Literature (Leiden: Brill, 2016) as “one of the greatest contemporary European studies on law and literature” (xiii), thus recognizing Falcón y Tella as an acknowledged authority on law and literature. Read more…>

Captain Powell, A Member of US Cipher Intelligence, The Fraudulent Friedmans, and his Endorsement of Elizabeth Wells Gallup’s Decipherment of the Bacon Biliteral Cipher in the Shakespeare First Folio

The fourteen-page pamphlet The Greatest Work of Sir Francis Bacon published by the Riverbank Laboratories written by J. A. Powell is of a great deal of interest. This work gives rise to a series of subtle deceptions perpetrated by the Friedmans designed to withhold important information about its author and his undoubted expertise in the area of codes and ciphers in general and the Baconian Bi-literal Cipher in particular. Read more >>

The Two Heads of French Cipher Intelligence and the Baconian Bi-literal Cipher Deciphered by Elizabeth Wells Gallup Revealing Bacon is Shakespeare

From before the turn of the twentieth century there had been a growing consensus among German, and to a lesser extent, Dutch academics that Bacon was in fact the secret author of the Shakespeare works. The endorsement of Gallup’s decipherments by General Cartier had the striking effect of vigorously renewing the debate in post war France. Opinion, as it had been in Germany and Holland was divided, with opposing views warmly expressed in numerous articles, some it has to be said more scholarly than others. General Cartier’s endorsement of the bi-literal cipher was also not to go unnoticed in the close knit world of cryptology. Read more >>

During the time Riverbank Cipher Department headed by William and Elizebeth Friedman was carrying out code and cipher work for the US government and various other federal agencies plans had secretly been underfoot in Washington to establish a Cipher Bureau of its own. On 10th June 1917 the first government Cipher Bureau under Military Intelligence 8 (MI-8) was established in Washington by the War Department with Major Ralph H.

4in1. Mask of Shakespeare, Mysteries of Bacon, Book by Cartier, Secrets of the NSA

In 1938, the authoritative European cryptographer, General François Cartier, who headed the cryptographic service of France military during WWI, published an analytical book “The Problem of Cryptography and History.”

This entire work was dedicated to recovering the secret autobiography of Francis Bacon, which was encrypted using his own biliteral cipher and embedded in parts across numerous printed books by various authors of the Elizabethan era.

‘In the foundations of cryptography as a solid scientific computer mathematical discipline there lies a big Mystery of the occult mystical sense. By a long-standing tradition, it is forbidden to talk about this Mystery. But by whom it is forbidden and on what grounds, actually, no one knows..’

Due to the multi-layered depth and complexity of this work it would be virtually impossible to do it justice in a brief review or summary of its interconnected themes. This landmark work is a milestone in Bacon-Shakespeare scholarship and its secret hidden links with British, US & French Intelligence, the Folger Shakespeare Library and its learned journal the Shakespeare Quarterly, and numerous individuals working for these Agencies and Institutions, that were or became involved in Bacon-Shakespeare scholarship. This indispensable work in particular focuses upon two such individuals William F. Friedman and Francois Cartier, the one world famous in the realms of Bacon-Shakespeare cryptology and the other (as the author of this work repeatedly emphasizes) almost completely written out of the Bacon-Shakespeare canon.

In support of its central contentions, it contains little known and difficult to access documents, evidence and facts, and provides links to specialised cryptological and intelligence publications and articles, and other obscure sources of information that have remained suppressed or hidden for decades and in some instances for more than a century.
