Esoteric Napoleon with Author Walter Bosley

investigation of called Espionage. I've been on his show talking about the West Memphis Three, Scarlett Blake, who's a tranny, Alista Crowley, the Doors. But today we're going to talk about a book he recently published. And if you're watching this on Rumble or Rockfin or X, you'll see the cover. It's the second and a two part two book compendium called Esoteric Napoleon. So this is Esoteric Napoleon two and

there's an obviously an Esoteric Napoleon one. I have not read through the books, but I'm very familiar with the kind of the Napoleonic history, and we were talking a little bit on the pre show things that I've been covering, which are the Knights of Malta and Napoleon kicked them out of Malta in seventeen ninety eight, and then Walter was telling me hired them back, which I was not aware of. But it is an interesting part of kind

of Western civilization. And there's a lot about Napoleon that reaches our shores here in the US that Walter can talk more about. So Walter was the show.

And you know, one thing leads to another, and the next three books I write focus on this cold case which at the time I learned about it was almost one hundred years It was like ninety six ninety seven years prior. It happened in Samernandino in nineteen fifteen, and that was wow. That kicked off a seven year period of my life. That was the Empire of the Wheel trilogy.

And after that I wanted to break from such dark material as was in that Empire of the Whale series, and so I wrote my first book in what I call the Secret Mission series, which is where I look at historical figures, explorers in the case of Napoleon, of course, a military leader and you know, national leader, and these are historical figures who I found evidence to argue that they had kind of as the title of the series implies,

a secret mission. For instance, the first book was Abou Juan Cabrio, and I lay out in there how his whole expedition Expiration of California, had an ulterior motive that had to do with the templars and lost treasure and things like that. And then the second book was The Lost Expedition of Sir Richard Francis Burton. That's Secret Missions two, and in that I go into this curious missing four and a half month period of his life that he

did not write about. Now, Richard Francis Burton wrote profusely about everything he did. I mean, some of the most boring stuff you'll ever read are the things he wrote about his journeys and expeditions, except for this four month period that he was in the wilderness the jungles of South America, and to this day we don't know what he did. So you know my hypothesis that he was secretly exploring lost cities and other megalithic mysteries and ancient

mysteries that are very popular with us today. Well, from there, I did a book on Ambrose Bierce, who famously disappeared in nineteen thirteen after declaring more than once in print that he wanted to disappear off into South America. To this day, we don't know what happened to Ambrose Biers. And in that book I explore what his secret mission may have been, because there's evidence that he was a Secret Service agent from the end of the Civil War

until he disappeared. So in each of my books, and particularly in each of the Secret Missions books, somewhere along the way and the research I turn up something or stumble upon something that has led to the next book. While in the case of Napoleon Bonaparte, I had for several years been curious about this legend that he had spent a night in the King's chamber of the Great Pyramid, and when he emerged from the pyramid, he was just

pale and just why, just nervous and freaked out. And when he was asked, hey, you know what happened in there, he said, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. And I've always found this story intriguing. But I didn't know much about Napoleon Bonaparte other than that and what we're taught in movies in school. Well, I came across a book in a used bookstore, Bonaparte in Egypt, by Christopher Harold. I think it was written in the thirties or forties, and I thought, well, you know, this is

interesting because I'm also interested in the Louisiana purchase. Right, you know, it's interesting that you know he owned this and he sells it to the United States, practically gives it to us. Well, when I'm reading the book Bonaparte in Egypt, I'm learning all sorts of things about this man. That were never taught that. He was fascinated with science and ancient history and technology and things like that. He was really into the things that you know, I'm into

and a lot of us are into. And he was criticized by some of his military officers because when he went on his Egyptian expedition, he took what they call these savants. These were the guys who were the scientific genius of their day, engineering, ancient history, languages, linguistics, alchemy, and several of them were freemasons, okay, and he took a bunch of them and gave them, you know, they got upper class status on the ships heading down there,

and they were to be treated with respect. And this wasn't just an expedition of military conquest, okay, this was you know, he was as interested in the ancient history of Egypt as he was anything. And he wanted to block the British access to India if he could, because he wanted to go on to India. So he was fascinated with ancient history and lost civilizations and you know, esoteric thought and metaphysical technologies and all this stuff that

we're into today. And the more I read about him, the more I got a completely different view than what we're taught. He wasn't just this brooding megalomaniac that was all about his power and his ego. I learned that that reputation is the product of, you know, by now over two hundred years of quite frankly British propaganda and nonsense. But in this I also learned that in eighteen oh two, when France got the Louisiana territory back, and I knew

this when I was doing the first book. I learned it when I was doing the first book, Napoleon ordered his Navy secretary decree to put together a special team and under strictest secrecy, to send them to explore the Louisiana territory. Okay, and so they had about a year before we know that the sale was made to the United States, for this team to be secretly exploring looking

for something. But we never we never see any I've not found any documentation yet, and I've been looking that it happened, or what they found, what the result was if they found, you know, whatever it was they were looking for. So I was fascinated about this. And when you know anything about Thomas Jefferson at the time, he had the largest personal library in what was the United States back then, Okay, And he was a guy who was fascinated with ancient history and you know, architecture and

all these mysteries, and also India. He was John Adams had turned him on to India. And we're talking about Thomas Jefferson here. So it was interesting that he makes this deal with Thomas Jefferson, who is a man who shares a lot of the same interests that Napoleon Bonaparte, you know, was enthused about. And so this this really

fascinated me. And when you throw in that Meriwether Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition, right, he gets he's murdered within three years after his expedition through the Louisiana territory occurs. And so the whole thing, all of this is in the mix Napoleon and what I learned about him and his interests, the secret expedition that he orders to explore the Louisiana territory, and then this this whole thing about Meriwether Lewis being murdered, and it just I

had to write this book, this this second volume. You know, about all of this so.

were livid, you know, until it was explained to them. Ay, and the War of eighteen twelve, if it wasn't fully explained, that fully got them on board, because you know, by Napoleon selling us this, he effectively prevented the British from controlling the Mississippi and being able to squeeze us from the seaboard to the Ate.

one from it being burnt down a few walks. And this is part of the fact that twice they tried to subdue us twice. They failed. This is a great reason why they're animus against Napoleon, fired up even more because we had embarrassed them really on the international stage, you know, in front of their peers, and now here was Napoleon leading France, and there was nothing he couldn't acomplish except building a good navy. That that was the thing he could never do, was get a really great navy.

You know, if he had been able to, I would say that the British would have lost. But but yeah, they they were just so so fanatically hateful of him, and they stirred up the their European peers. When I say that, I mean their dynastic, dynastic peers and their

oligarch peers, you know, because what Napoleon would do. You know, I read, my gosh, almost seven thousand pages of biographical and historical material on Napoleon Bonaparte, dating from written during his lifetime on up to you know, just a few years ago, and in the centuries in between. And when you actually dive into the story of Napoleon and you read all these different histories, if you don't come away with a different view of the man, then you're just

being stubborn. You're just saying, you know, I just want to cling to the status quo because you know, you find out, like I was telling you before, how all but one of the so called Napoleonic Wars were started by the British and the European allies. He only started one one, and it wasn't the first one that kicked all this off.

that's true. One of one of the housemaids had sold the dirty letters that he had written to Josephine from various places, and the newspapers of the day published these things. I mean, it was, yeah, it was, and so he was livid and embarrassed, and you know, so the film really captured that well. But it it Ridley Scott disappointed me with he fell back on the Napoleon propaganda, making him look like a crazy nut. And you know it just.

I'm not referring to the British people. Because even in those days, the British leadership was worried that he would win over the British people because they were hearing a lot of them were hearing things from other sources and going, hey, you know, we were kind of interested in this guy, you know, because what he was doing, this is what

you don't learn in school or in the movies. He would go in and yes the countries that he would defeat, and that he would conquer, he would set them up on a much more democratic leaning system and they were realizing pretty quickly, oh wow, wait a minute, we kind of have freedom, more freedom than we did before. And he's improving our municipalities, okay. And what was happening was he was improving the lives of the common people in

these countries that he conquered. Well, you know, the dynasties and the oligarchies, they can't have that because they got to keep the people down. Historians generally credit Napoleon Bonaparte with being the one figure who ended officially formally the feudal system. The feudal system still existed, and Napoleon Bonaparte and what he did it officially pretty much brought to an end the feudal system in Europe. And they hated him for that.

him because he said, they're going too far. They're ruining the cause with all this insane bloodshed. So he kind of stopped short of he was on their side in the revolution, but he stopped short once they just started going into a killing frenzy.

from his peers. He wrote a book. He's written a few books on Napoleon, but the one you should read is Napoleon the Great, and he lays out in his books and in lectures you can find online, he lays out the reason why Napoleon's reputation in an image and name deserves a rehabilitation from the British propaganda, from the you know, the oligarchic propaganda, because he lays out detail after detail, fact after fact that you know, the the popular image of this man is not an accurate image,

and you know, it's really not right because to this day, things that Napoleon did envisioned in in under his leadership and guidance, you know, exists to this day. The way cities are laid out and municipalities are run, this is this can be traced back to you know, Napoleon's French Empire. And he really was a genius for uh state administration. Okay, Now, what's interesting Napoleonic code.

it on his head. He held it above his head, and he did it with his own hands. And the statement that he was making was I represent the people, and it's the people putting this crown on my head, not the Church not annointed, right, Yeah, because he was very mindful of the political peccadillos of the Vatican, and he's like, no, no, the Church in France is not in charge of France.

you know, humorless megalomaniac. When at the coronation, he and Josephine and his entourage they had gone to the wrong door, and so they're standing in the side at the wrong door and they find us out at the last minute, and Napoleon makes some joke like, oh my god, I'm such an idiot, you know, that kind of thing, and they kind of laughed embarrassed. You know, the guy had a good sense of humor about himself, particularly when he

flubbed up. There was one battle it wasn't Waterloo. It was laid in the game there when he started getting distracted and he you know, lost a couple of battles. There was one that they were racing away from he had to flee, and as he was riding away, one of his generals was next to him and and he says, well, I really we really screwed that one up, didn't we And he was just kind of like, oh, shoot, you know,

what a dummy, you know kind of thing. And so this man actually had a much much more human personality and sense of humor. But he was a genius. I mean, his military tactic, his military style and knowledge is studied in war colleges to this day. That's what a brilliant you know. He was an artillery officer, you know, primarily, but his first love, his real love, was ancient history

and these lost civilizations kind of stuff. And when after Waterloo happened and he knew, you know, that's it, I'm not emperor around after the second time my political career, he said, I don't want a political career anymore. What he was doing was he was pulling together. He pulled

together a library and field equipment. Okay, and he declared, he told his brother and a couple of others, he said, look, I'm going to go to America and just spend the rest of my life in literally you know, scientific exploration and study. And that's what he wanted to do. He even said, I'm going to go out and explore California. But I just forget this. I'm going to go to the Americas. So that's why it's kind of weird that he so easily stuck behind and let himself be arrested

by the British. Because here's a little thing that you're also not taught in school and in the movies. A US Navy frigate was sent to France and was off the coast of not La Rochelle. I can't they It begins with an arm doing a brain dumb. The city they were in where the British arrested him. A US frigate Navy ship arrives in a little a boat, A small craft is sent with two US Navy officers waiting for him. Okay, and they let it be known we're

waiting to bring the emperor to America. And Napoleon's brother Joseph, who looked astonishingly like him and had been used as a double for Napoleon during his lifetime for security purposes. The witnesses there, the people there with him, documented this. This is documented history. His brother Joseph begged him switch places with me. They'll never know the difference until it's

too late. There's a navy ship, you, an American Navy ship waiting to take you to the States get on that vote now, and we're taught that Napoleon, after gathering all his stuff to go explore the Americas like he said he was going to do, okay, we're told that he says, no, I'm going to trust the British. They're going to treat me like a gentleman, you know, and that he didn't take Joseph up on the deal. But here's the interesting thing. I don't even say Napoleon was

on Saint Helena. I call them the Bonaparte refugee because I believe they did switch places. And that's not original with me. That's something that some scholars have increasingly believed for the last fifty years that he did switch places with Joseph. But here's the interesting thing. While the Bonaparte refugee on Saint Helena was being interviewed by a British historian assigned by the authorities in England to interview Napoleon, so to speak, we are told he comes back and

reports to his superiors. He goes, I don't think this is Napoleon, guys, I really don't think this is him. And you know, we're not told what he was told, and Joseph Bonaparte, look it up. So called Joseph, I put air quotes around the first name is known to history to have lived in the United States until the eighteen thirties. Late eighteen thirties. He lived in Philadelphia, he

lived in New Jersey. And on the one on the street in Philadelphia, I believe it was, he's walking down the street and a frenchman comes up and says, mon Emperor, and we're told that. Joseph says, oh, no, no, you're mistaken. I'm his brother Joseph. And the guy says, no, no, no, I know my emperor. You know this guy had been a personal guard of Napoleons. Okay, so you know, so yes. In the first book, the last part of the book is I lay out that I think I do believe.

I'm one of those that believes he took up the offer and traded identities with his brother Joseph. I explained why and how that could have worked, and it's all basically.

Jones's remains from Paris when they were discovered. But Charles Bonaparte went on after that to become attorney general, and he created what was known as the Bureau of Investigation, which was federal level, and for twenty years it was the BI. It was known to be lazy and corrupt, unfortunately, and in nineteen twenty eight it became the FBI. So Charles Bonaparte started the FBI. Really wow as well.

Because the man who first started that rumor, okay, who wrote about that, this was I think in the late nineteenth century or the very early years of the twentieth century. He based his whole hypothesis on that on a very bad translation of Nostradamus, and he himself admitted that and admitted that, nah, it was a bad translation. You know, essentially he admitted that he made that up. So the whole thing about Nostradamus allegedly, you know, identifying Napoleon as

the first Antichrist. People say, but in Nostrodamus's book it says, I'm telling you, folks, that's a bad translation. It's not accurate, it's not true. Nostrodamus did not really identify it, but it was part of the propaganda. You know, it just became the thing to do trash Napoleon because hey, we all know he's evil, right.

Napoleon was always kind of teased throughout his life because he spoke French with an Italian accent. He never quite got the French accent down.

I mean, Egyptology started with Napoleon's Egyptian expedition. Okay, now he was a.

One of his officers was Colonel de Hopepool. Okay, now d'hopepool was the nephew of Madame d'h Hoopoole, whose grave factors heavily in the Rendles Chateau mystery.

And there was this priest in the late nineteenth century, Baron Jaer Sognier, father Sognier, who while he is refurbishing, fixing the altar in the church, he's a priest the church that he's assigned to in this little village rend La Chateau, he finds these documents that were hidden inside the altar, and what he found in the documents was very shocking. He goes to Paris to talk to the church authorities, and then after that he seems to have an endless supply of money. The church in Paris and

the Vatican leave him alone. They let him do what he wants. He's able to fix roads and everything in the village and just live a lifestyle that priests normally, you know, usually didn't live. And so the intrigue is that what did he find? What was this information that

he found? And part of the mystery is that there's this artist, Nicholas Poissin Poisson who did this painting called Three Shepherds, which famously has the phrase at an Arcadia ego, which a lot of people refer to the painting, and it shows these three shepherds at different stages of you know, age, young man, middle aged man, old man, and there's a

skull on the grave site. Well, they're all pointing to this grave site, this tomb and such, and this all points to an actual grave site where wherein is buried a woman, Madame de Hoolepool. Okay, and there's all this intrigue as to Okay, the Poissan art points to her, and it all points to Rendla Chateau, and you know, yeah, that's it right there, you know, the big mystery. And so it's interesting. It's interesting that we have a relative

of Madame de Holepool on the Egyptian expedition. He's an officer in Napoleon's army and he's there with the man who discovers the Rosetta Stone for the first time. And the Rosetta Stone physical connections to Madame de Hoolepool's grave marker. So that's why this whole the whole pool thing, you know, It's.

he did for the US Army. So you know, I wonder what might he have known, because there is some argument to be made that some of Poissan's paintings were pointing to a landscape in America, in the Americas, and that has to do with all the Arcadia stuff going on, because at n Arcadia Ego, Right, So they they.
