Coming Race EasyRead Edition

Lee was a key part of that.

There was a novel written in 1871, for crying out loud, The novelist was Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 1871 novel, The Coming Race, which was known as Vril, The Power of the Coming Race.

It describes a subterranean master race, Vril-Yah.

And by the way, it was the Vril-Yah maidens who were super clairvoyants, who met with high-level Nazi scientists and leaders in a cafe in Vienna in 1926, and they gave the Nazi scientists... high-level technical blueprints on how to create and build anti-gravity machines, UFOs, and other super technologies.

As with the John Buckman novel, maybe there's some secret truths embedded in literature.

And they talk about the novel Vril.

Are you familiar with Vril, Ross? No.

It sounds like a .2 villain, but...

Well, you're not too far away from it, mate.

It's where Bovril gets its name from.

Really? Yes.

Well, because the whole idea is Vril is a force, right? So these people are like this master race, as it were, and they channel this force, Vril.

It's a rumor with a two-year head start on any of the technical claims, and everything since has been built on top of a 1945 newspaper guess.

And now I'll keep this part short because we covered the Vril in extent before.

There is no wartime German engineering documents for any of the Vril craft.

No production records, no test records, no procurement paperwork, no Allied intelligence collection about them.

And Allied technical intelligence teams went through German aerospace research with a fine-tooth comb after the war.

They found the May 262.

They shipped the whole thing home.

The Vril Society itself has a paper trail that starts with fiction.

And they were very strong as well, physically.

And they were called the Vril aliens.

You've got that bit.

Perfect.

And it was particularly big in Germany.

Oh, I didn't realize that.

Some members of the Weimar government were adherents to Vril societies.

And up to and during the war, there was another rumor, which I'm sure is ridiculous, that Hitler was interested in the Ark of the Covenant and also UFOs.

That was from my book.

And that's a picture there of, of, uh, Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton on the upper left-hand side with his book that inspired so many Nazis called The Coming Race, um, as well as Nikola Tesla, who was inspired by that as well.

Um, and then his son that I just mentioned, and a friend of Dawson Stephenson, uh, Robert Lytton, who was the, uh, Viscount, the Governor General of India, and there is just some of the works that he did in carrying out mass starvations of Indians.

Uh, something like twenty million died in the, the, the famines that he oversaw.
