TO UNDERSTAND OUR CULTURE WE HAVE TO UNDERSTANDTHE BEGINNING...

The calendar we use today marks the life of Jesus Christ as the beginning of a new chapter inWestern civilisation, a new era inspired by Christ's message of love, charity, humility, peace,

and justice. But established history tells us that Christianity became entangled in politics,

wealth, violence, and empire because the institutional religion strayed from the moral

teachings of its founder. How did it go so wrong?

The latest in Biblical scholarship has now uncovered new evidence that provides a disturbing

explanation: Christianity never strayed; Jesus Christ is a fabricated cover story for an Imperial

psychological warfare operation born out of the First Jewish-Roman War in the first century.

Far-fetched and absurd? The quality of the evidence we'll be presenting may surprise you.Joseph Atwill explains, "This is really important for our culture..."

AN EXPOS ON CHRISTIANITY WHOSE TIME HAS COME

Join us for a one-day symposium that will provide a unique insight into how the ruling

classes, from the Caesars of the past to the public relations firms working for governments

and high finance today, have maintained power and an unending stealth class war by

weaponising our own imagination against us. This is sure to engage not just students of

religion and history, but also those interested in psychology, politics, and social justice.

In attendance will be our guest speakersJoseph AtwillandKenneth Humphreys. We are also

proud to feature the European premiere of the groundbreaking documentaryCaesar's Messiah:

The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesusdirected by Fritz Heede.Joseph Atwill: "The Caesar's commited a crime against consciousness. They reached into the minds of theirsubjects and planted false concepts to make them easier to control"

radio broadcaster, and public speaker, and campaigns energetically against the tide of

resurgent superstition and unreason.

FILMDIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

When we were first introduced to the bookCaesars Messiah, our response to the idea that

the Romans wrote the New Testament in order to control the masses of the day was equal

parts belief and disbelief. The thesis made a lot of sense, and yet it seemed too outrageous in

the face of the gigantic numbers of people who hold Christianity sacred and Jesus as a historic

figure.

After a three-year journey of studying this subject more deeply and becoming familiar with

the works of many scholars on the origins of Christianity, we feel that the thesis has much

merit and deserves to be seriously considered as a likely possibility of what actually occurred

in history 2000 years ago. Though we didnt wish to dismiss the positive teachings of

Christianity, it is the history and politics of the way the religion came about that we feel are

the real issue.

The challenge then became how to approach such a scholarly and academic topic as the

analysis of ancient texts, in a visual format in order to keep the attention of the audience.

Thanks to the artistic cinematography of Fritz Heede and Marisa Maldonado, and the

inclusion of classic paintings to illustrate scenes from the time period, we were able to avoid

the pitfalls of re-enactments, which can tend to feel too concrete and forced of an

interpretation of an ancient era. We were also blessed with interesting and passionate scholars

who are a far cry from dry academics, being on the cutting edge of scholarship and in many

instances challenging to the academic world.

As production progressed, we couldnt help notice the immediate relevancy of theCaesars

Messiahthesis to the unfolding of current day political affairs. It is our hope that audiences

will open up to the possibility that the history written in official books is not always actual

fact, and that religion is often used as a political tool to control the populace, even to this day.

The official trailer for Caesar's Messiah: "Christianity was invented by a little known family of RomanCaesars, the Flavians; and they left us documents to prove it."

DOCUMENTARY SYNOPSIS

The origin of the Christian religion has been a subject steeped in mystery for nearly 2000

years. Who was Jesus? Is he an historical character? Who wrote the Gospels? Why are theywritten in Greek? Why did they have a pro-Roman and anti-semitic perspective? Why was the

religion headquartered in Rome?Caesars Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesusis

a documentary based on the bestselling religious studies book byJoseph Atwill. Atwill is one

of a number of scholars today from all around the world, who are questioning the historic

facts behind these mysterious origins of Christianity. When examining the actual history of

this era, many of the answers provided by the Church do not hold up to rigorous scrutiny. No

doubt, Christianity has done a lot of good for the world, but a lot of bad has come from its

most dogmatic believers, who create wars, hatred, and other harm under the disguise of

religion. In studying how Christianity emerged, the seven controversial Bible scholars

featured in this film agree that it was used as a political tool to control the masses of the day,

and is still being used this way today. For example, support for the wars in the Middle East is

preached to Evangelical Christians as a way to speed up the coming of the End of Days.

Maybe we need to expand the possible answers about how Christianity originated, and deeper

questions need to be asked. Maybe we need to examine what political motives were behind

the formation of the Christian religion?

The documentary begins with a brief history of the political and religious climate of Judea inthe first century CE the era during which Christianity emerged. Judea was occupied by the

Roman Empire, which required them to worship Caesar as a god. The Jews found this

blasphemous, and they waged constant rebellions against the Empire. Their religious

scriptures prophesied that a militaristic warrior Messiah would defeat the Romans and lead

the Jews to liberation. A string of numerous Messiahs presented themselves to lead the people

in war against Rome, only to be defeated and crucifieda customary Roman punishment for

insurgents of the day. However, the Roman government was growing weaker from over a

century of increasingly corrupt rule by the JulioClaudian dynastythe last emperor of this

lineage being Nero, who was bankrupting the Empire with his selfindulgence. In their

greatest victory, the messianic Jews finally succeeded in burning Rome and driving the

Romans out of Judea. This caused Nero to call upon his best military men, the Flavians

Vespasian and his son Titus to crush the rebellion for good. The Flavians succeeded not

only in destroying the Jewish towns of Galilee and their temple in Jerusalem, but after Nero

was deposed and committed suicide, they seized the throne through a military coup and took

over reign of the Roman Empire itself. Under the Flavians, the Empire flourished, and many

great monuments were built including the famous Coliseum. In order to pacify the Jewish

rebellion, they captured and burned all the Jews scriptures. It is around this time that a new

literature emerged with the story of a very different Jewish Messiah one who preached

give to Caesar what is Caesars, turn the other cheek, and love your enemy.Kenneth Humphreys on the historicity of Jesus: "[It's] a dilemma for those who believe in him. Because onthe one hand he supposedly overturned the world, it turned the world upside-down and triggered off this

massive movement, but on the other hand he leaves no trace in historical record."

The second half of the documentary focuses on the documents the Flavians left behind which

prove their authorship of the Gospels. The Bible scholars deconstruct the Gospels and the

character Jesus, showing that they are based on archetypes found in the ancient pagan mystery

schools and in earlier Jewish literature. Much of the teachings of Christianity are traced back

to the writings of Philo of Alexandria who was combining Jewish scripture with Greek

pagan beliefs and Stoicism, a philosophy promoted by the Flavians. When the Flavians

seized control of the Roman Empire, they needed to legitimise their rule, so they had their

Jewish court historian Josephus (originally Yosef ben Matityahu who adopted the name Titus

Flavius Josephus) create a large body of work which became the only official history we have

of the Jewish-Roman War.

Bible scholarJoseph Atwillnoticed many parallels between this historic account of the war

and the events in the life of Jesus in the Gospels. Through his study of the ancient Greek texts

and his discovery of an antiquated Hebrew literary genre, he found dozens of parallels

between the Jesus story and the war history that occurred in the exact same sequence. This

shows that the events of Jesus life which supposedly took place forty years earlier, wereactually all dependent on the events in the military campaign of the Roman Caesar Titus

Flavius. Ancient texts were much more allegorical, multi-layered and complex than todays

writing, and when you read the Gospels and the histories of Josephus side by side, a new

meaning arises which reveals the authors of the Gospels to be the Roman Flavian Caesars,

their co-conspirators, and their literary team.

Along the way, the Bible scholars show how the Roman Imperial Cult set up to worship

Caesar as a god formed the basis for the Roman Catholic Church, and that some of the

Churchs first saints were members of the Flavian court. Atwill also shows how the second

coming of the Christ referred to a historical event that already occurred. Featuring

scholarsJoseph Atwill,Robert Eisenman,John Hudson,Ken Humphreys,Rod

Blackhirst,Acharya S / D.M. Murdock, andTimothy Freke, this ground-breaking documentary

not only gives us a revolutionary new understanding of the origins of Christianity, but shows

how the political use of religion is still affecting our personal lives today. We currently live

on the brink of an immense paradigm shift, and this modern time is very parallel to the era in

which Christianity emerged. Studying this ancient era can give us the much-needed

perspective for coming up with solutions to todays problems, so we can create the better

world that we envision.John Hudson: "The Romans knew there would be opposition to their rule, whatever they did, so in creatingthe Gospels they created a, sort of, very clever counter-strategy. They co-opted the opposition by creating

an opposition movement of their own."

moral outlook was very much influenced by his mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, which

eventually changed from transcendentalism to a more secular and humanistic free thought. He

deceived into war, poverty, and obedience because their ability to reason has been

crippled by false ideas, false histories, and false gods circulated by the power elite.

The Internet Age makes events like this possible and presents us with an opportunity

for a different future. Now that the average person has an unprecedented ability to

access and share information instantly with like-minded people around the globe it's

time for us to create a new open-source intelligence, help each other get educated, and

break the spell of dogma and propaganda together.
