The Great Stratfraudian Lie

The Great Stratfraudian Lie:

More Than 100 Contemporary Witnesses to Francis Bacon’s Authorship of the Shakespeare Poems and Plays

The Stratfraudian claim that William Shakspere of Stratford was the writer of the Shakespeare poems and plays and that none of his contemporaries ever doubted this, is a demonstrable falsehood.

The ‘Witness’ book and video series presents over a hundred contemporary witnesses to Francis Bacon’s Shakespeare authorship.

The whole foundation of the fraud that William Shakspere of Stratford wrote the Shakespeare poems and plays rests upon the lie/falsehood that none of his contemporaries in the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras expressed any doubts about his authorship: never once did any whisper, even hint of it, ever leak out. In fact this lie/falsehood extends much further with a whole phalanx of orthodox Shakespeare scholars insisting not only did any of the Stratford man’s contemporaries not hint, allude to, or raise any doubts about his authorship, but none were raised for some two hundred years after his death. This fraudulent and dishonest fabrication is absolutely critical to the deception that William Shakspere wrote the Shakespeare poems and plays because it allows orthodox Shakespeare scholars to insist that the authorship question is a modern phenomenon that only took root in the second half of the nineteenth century and need not be taken seriously.

This fictitious and mendacious narrative is a demonstrable falsehood one known to some of the key institutions and orthodox Shakespeare scholars who peddle this transparent fraud. It is an attestable and provable truth that there were an enormous number of expressions of doubt about the authorship of the Shakespeare works which began literally weeks after the publication of the Shakespeare poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, the first works to carry the pseudonym William Shakespeare below their dedications to the Earl of Southampton.

Yet this scarcely scratches the surface and only serves to conceal an overwhelming mountain of irrefutable evidence revealing and confirming that the great philosopher-poet Francis Bacon was the true author of the Shakespeare works, a secret known to many of his contemporaries, who repeatedly alluded, indicated and pointed to it, in their respective literary publications.

This work presents more than a hundred various witnesses to Lord Bacon’s authorship of the Shakespeare works from a wide range of different perspectives.
