@Bruce, @WiderMouthOpen This is mostly unrelated to OP's post, but I watched an episode of "America's Book of Secrets" on History Channel the other night entitled "Big Bother is Watching" that I think you might find interesting.
Near the first of the program, the narrator says something like "There are those that believe in the existence of a book...". All it takes for the complete statement to be true is for someone at History Channel to have told a couple of hard core conspiracy theorists that it exists. For the record, I'm not a believer. Keep in mind this program is from the same people that brought us "Ancient Aliens", stories about Bigfoot, etc. But, some of it could be real. (Hello, NSA ). 😒
It's currently available On Demand: TV > TV Networks > Networks H-M > History > America's Book HD > America's Book Secrets S1 Ep09 HD
I'd be interested in hearing what you think.
