The most surprising discovery was that Plato placed the blame for Socrates being condemned to death squarely on George W. Bush.
To: decimon
“Plato was the Einstein of Greeces Golden Age and his work founded Western culture and science.”

Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.
On board were the Twelve:
The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,
The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.
Though Gods they were-
And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis!

How True!

The author needs to do a WHOLE lot more explaining because what the professor is saying sounds like complete blarney.

One of the decoded passages has to read:
"No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney."

It is a long and exciting story, but basically I cracked the code. I have shown rigorously that the books do contain codes and symbols .... An excerpt of Dr. Kennedy's detailed notes is shown below:

Platos books played a major role in founding Western culturePlato is the father of collectivism in the West.He is the first thinker to formulate a systematic view of reality ,with a collectivist politics as its culmination. So Plato, thanks a lump.
