The New Conspiracy Files
It is official. I am now working on an update of Conspiracy Files. This news will horrify anyone who wants me to work for a ‘publisher that pays the talent fairly’ or see me produce a novel. When those conspiracy buffs that are fans of my work actually get to read the new book, they might be horrified as well.
I have decided to tackle head-on some of the flawed conjectures often considered as sacred tenets by the conspiriologist community. Given this may be my last traditional conspiracy book, certain things have to be said. The time has come to talk about the Okhrana origins of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This is the work where I can no longer dodge discussing Lyndon LaRouche Jnr. or David Icke.
When the new Conspiracy Files is published, hate mail and letters from the green crayon brigade are bound to find me fast. The jade missives are guaranteed to be virulent if the lawyers let me print half of what I want to say. However, I just hope the GBC are all I have to worry about after I have written about one of my former sources – Alexander Litvinenko.
Among the pictures I have requested for the new book are: ‘An illustration of the ancient god Moloch’, ‘A snap of Jeremiah Duggan as a floppy haired student before his murder, preferably the one in a silly striped jumper using one of his hands to shade his eyes’ and ‘The classic photograph of an emaciated, bald Litvinenko dying in his London hospital bed’. Baldness seems to be something of a theme in my photo requests as I also ask for: ‘Shot of bald-headed members of the Manson Family outside the court during his trial’.
Asking for odd pictures goes with covering the territory. I am used to writing up slightly bonkers picture reference lists. However, even I never expected to be requesting either Bryan Hitch Chitauri, Doctor Who Silurians, Buckaroo Banzai Lectroids or a reptilian-humanoid from V as an illustration. Scales are the price you pay for dancing with David Icke.

"Jade Missives" should be the title of your next book, a coffee table collection of all the green crayon hate mail that you have received from writing this one and others.
And you are still shirking the issue of writing the other books in you that need to be written.
Thank you Stephen. I have always told Mr. C he ought to produce a book based on his archive of Green Crayon Brigade letters. His tend to be a lot more interesting than mine full of people claiming they are the antichrist, have found the alchemical secret of eternal life or discovered that Richard Branson is a secret Satanist Mine tend to be more straightforward and abusive.
I did get a classic jade missive two weeks ago. The writer claimed he had unearthed a conspiracy proving what we experience as reality was in fact a hallucination. So far, so bog-standard. However, the twist was this hallucinatory hell was one reserved for dinosaurs (which is who we all were when not caught up in this dream in his theory). Three pages of ‘facts’ followed. The letter ended with the line: ‘I dare you to reclaim your Saurian heritage and follow my work’. The chap came from Florida.
When we meet up that massively overdue curry, I want to chat to you about ‘the other books’ and projects I really should be doing.
At last! After 18 months some conspiracy talk.
Trust me, there are going to be a lot of grassy know-alls who are not going to be happy when they read the new version of Conspiracy Files.
You go, David! I can't wait to read it. I have that 2nd bookplate ready and waiting.
Congratulations, David. I look forward to the next installment greatly.
I understand completely about the horrible choice between paid work and important work. Unfortunately, I'm not independently rich / supported by a devoted (read: mad) wife who pulls down a great salary, so like you, it's always business first, play later. Still sucks, but I at least offer nothing but sympathy in the matter.
In the mean time, personally, paid work is frighteningly thin on the ground. Am trying to churn out some fun stuff -- with you, very thinly veiled, as the heroine's love interest *GRIN*, and featuring a dream R,C&BB sketch with Legba that I'm about to write :) Dunno if it would ever sell, but it's a laugh to tinker with *grin*.
Reclaim your Saurian Heritage, my Lizard brother!
Bloody hell! Fictionalised again! Just what is the name of this demented work where I could ever be even a veiled love interest? The fact that such an already insane project also manages to slip in the white boy sketch staggers me.
As soon as I am off the ridiculous 20,000 words in two weeks deadline I will send you some Old Guard material for you to read while in the desert.
Sounds interesting. I had to google Jeremiah Duggan and I think I found the picture you are referring to on wikipedia.
It has always been my philosophy to never lose sight of the victims in any story I write about. I want to help every reader to remember that Duggan was someone’s son, not just a name. I think that photo helps to do that.
I won't say anything it would just show my ignorance on things! Looking forward to your enlightenment on such matters.
