Join The Higherside Chats podcast, as host Greg Carlwood talks Caesar's Messiah, Altered History, & Exposing the Oligarchs with guest, Joe Atwill.

While we are all familiar with the wide range of elite groups said to be in control of the masses, their origins and connections to one another are less discussed. From Freemasons and Occultists, to elite Jewish networks and Constantine's co opting of Christianity, unraveling the threads of this conspiracy cardigan can prove to be a challenge.

Fortunately, today's guest, Joe Atwill, has dedicated his life to dusting for the fingerprints left behind by these influential dictators of history. Scouring religious texts and historical documents, he has jumped straight into the deep end, taking an in-depth look into decades of state sponsored propaganda and today he joins The Higherside to peel back the curtains and expose the nefarious group behind psyops such as Nazism, Occultism and Christianity.

3:00 Kicking things off, Greg and Joe start by discussing Atwill's work, 'Caesar's Messiah'. In a nutshell, the Caesar's Messiah hypothesis claims that imperial Roman family, the Flavians, constructed the New Testament and created Christianity as a way to deflate Jewish sects fighting against the Roman Empire. Atwill elaborates on this new view of Christianity by explaining the implausibility of Christianity in it's given historical context. He details the century long messianic rebellions waged against Rome, the improbability of Jesus' life and religious mission, the writings of historian Flavius Joesphus, and the typographic style of The Bible.

15:00 Touching upon elements of false chronology in his book, 'Caesar's Messiah' and familiar with the work of Anatoly Fomenko, Atwill breaks down his thoughts on possible timeline manipulation and the degree to which we may need to re-examine our understanding of history. With so much of recorded history during the first century being 'created' for political and religious purposes, our understanding of the traditional timeline must be reconfigured. He also discusses his take on Fomenko's conclusions and criticisms of Scaliger, Constantine's many edicts outside of religion, and the evolution of his views on how government operates.
