Bøker av John Elliott

There will be those who have a rather difficult time absorbing the information on the following pages and perhaps a few may even suggest that it is utter nonsense. But, no matter what the naysayers say, what you are about to read is all true.Nikita Khrushchev who was in office until 1964, and now Vladimir Putin, both depraved and iniquitous dictators, denied all of what follows. They hid the truth from the world, erasing the names of all those fallen cosmonauts in order to appear far more technically advanced than the United States. But now the truth is being told, and they both have been proven wrong.The point here is that the former Soviet Union under Khrushchev, sent up at least fifteen spacecraft carrying seventeen cosmonauts to their deaths, all while trying desperately to beat the United States during what was previously referred to as "The Space Race." And, although it cannot yet be unequivocally proven, there may well have been four more human-occupied spaceflight attempts by the Soviets, all ending in utter tragedies.On the following pages all seventeen fallen cosmonauts are identified by name, as are their space flights, and dates. It is the author's hope that it will bring some measure of comfort to the remaining family members who may have survived the previous Soviet era purges.Buckle your seat belts, because what follows is both eye-opening and astounding! It has never been in print before and this is the very first book to ever be published that actually reveals the truth. Every human-occupied spaceflight from the early days until now, including all of the forty women and men who tragically perished during spaceflight attempts, is finally revealed.

Although first to suggest the possibility of light frequencies beyond the visible spectrum, the natural philosopher John Elliott (1747-87) was better known at his death for his failed suicide in front of the woman he loved. Tried for attempting to shoot her, he was acquitted but died in prison awaiting trial on the lesser charge of assault. First published in 1780, this work was his most important. Contemporary science held that vibrations of the air were directly communicated to the optic and auditory nerves and passed on to the sensorium, while Elliot proposed, through experimentation upon himself, the existence of sensory receptors, each tuned to only a limited part of the spectrum of physical frequencies. This insight led him to postulate the existence of what we now know to be ultraviolet and infrared radiation, thus paving the way for further discoveries in human sensory perception.
