Hate Mail - Simpemantus

I am persuaded that it was the greatest of unambiguously identified figures in English literature, the acknowledged genius of the time, Francis Bacon, who wrote the plays and poems* by the case that is made by the so-called "Baconians".   

Whereas the champions of the Stratford money-lender and hoarder Shaksper (more likely one of Timon's host of villains) have only fictitious narrative and conjecture to back up their claims, the Baconians have evidence and rational arguments. The champions of Shaksper* have tradition and a financial establishment behind them, not to mention the coercion of conventional and ignorant orthodoxy, they don't have a case.   People have to invent a case in the form of fiction out of nothing for their candidate which stupid people and conventional academics mistake and replace for actual biography.  

I wasn't aware until the other day that there had been extensive writing about how Timon of Athens - unknown before 1623,  seven years after the death of Shaksper - so closely mirrored the contemporary events in Francis Bacon's downfall.  Reading that I'm more convinced than ever that he's the guy who wrote the plays and poems and that he had an extremely good reason to keep his identity as the author of the plays concealed as he was under attack from those close to James I.  

And I know saying it bugs that unread champion of  mid-brow orthodoxy who likes to lie about what I write.   I like to annoy him and his fellow boobs. 

*   Two Inns of Court lawyer-poets, Joseph Hall and John Marston, in an exchange of  Satires published between 1597-1598, identify Francis Bacon as the author of the 
Shakespeare poems, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece.

And that's only one small piece of the evidence. 

**  Who can't be documented to have ever owned or read a book and who couldn't even spell his own name in the only samples of his illiterate letter scrawling we have, a man who would have had to hand-write more than 900,000 words to have produced the plays but who couldn't even spell his own name in legal documents with reliability.  He scrawled his own name in different ways on different pages of his will, for crying out loud. 



I've looked at photographs of the signatures of other authors of the period and haven't found any with such an erratic signature or one other prominent writer whose verified signatures are so uniformly unrelated to anything having to do with literature.  

Update:  Stupy thinks I'm going to get worked up by a Republicanfascist-atheist hack, Susan Jacoby, whining about the rote repetition of the command "God bless America" at the end of speeches given by Republicanfascist politicians.   While I could go into Jacoby's misrepresentation of the Pew measure of that fictitious group, "Nones" a misrepresentation that is both ubiquitious in the media and the clear intention of both the guy who invented "Nones", the atheist ideologue, Barry Kosmin, and the folks at Pew who intentionally use it to get in the media, I'll not bother to repeat that point, yet again.

I can point out that I have openly opposed not only the imperative "God bless America" as used in politics, I've pointed out that Edward Elgar made the same point about "God Save The King," it's blasphemous to command God to do anything  and it is certainly in violation of the commandment to not take the Lord's name in vain.   I've also, repeatedly, said how much I hate the song Irving Berlin wrote on that command.
