Stephen Hawking: the Pope told me to stay away from the life-after-death subject
MICHAEL ROLL
British political activist against censorship
of the scientific evidence for the afterlife
Michael Roll is an activist afterlife-researcher with whom I've had the privilege of communicating several times. Michael regularly sends information to British MPs and other influential individuals in an effort to stop the suppression of the scientific evidence for the afterlife. His efforts have been instrumental in changing British censorship laws.
The following are excerpts from letters I've received from Michael:
You will see that a great deal has happened on the scientific front since I did my first radio broadcast in the London area on November 3, 1988.
At this time it was against the radio codes to talk about life after death in England in a serious scientific manner. In England the Church and the State are still established, and our Queen is head of the Anglo-Catholic Church.
However, I did manage to get the Radio Authority to remove these clauses against free speech in February 1994. I found this out when the Bristol radio presenter Dave Barrett telephoned me to say that the radio station had just had a memo from the Radio Authority. He said, “Mike, you have won.” Lord Chalfont, the chairman of the Radio Authority at the time, did not bother to tell me.
I also managed to get the Royal Navy to remove the First Article of War. When my son entered Dartmouth College a sinister card was thrust into his hand. In effect it said either you agree to indoctrinate the ranks under you with the Christian religion or you can forget any promotion in the Royal Navy.
I could then understand what happened to me in 1956 when I did national service in the Royal Navy. Religious services were compulsory. When my son’s ship HMS Illustrious invited families on board for a short cruise there was I pipe that said “A religious service is about to take part on the Quarter Deck.” I went along to see how many would turn up. About ten out of a thousand people on board.
We have to fight for freedom, it is not easily obtained. I have it easy compared to others in the past. In 1600 the scientist [Father] Giordano Bruno was arrested by the Roman Catholic Church. He was tortured by the priests, forcing him to renounce his findings... He was burnt at the stake while still alive.
This suppressed scientific case for survival after death is all set out on the website of The Campaign for Philosophical Freedom: www.scsad.afterlifeinstitute.org
Exposing this appalling deception of the British people must go right across party lines. Discoveries in physics belong to every man, woman and child on Earth. It is just too bad if they upset the Pope and Professor Stephen Hawking. Hawking actually went to see the Pope. On his return, at a press conference that was televised, a journalist asked Hawking what the Pope said to him. This was Hawking’s reply:
“The Pope said to me that he did not care what I did in science just as long as I never encroached on his subject, life after death.”
I asked Michael, "Was this reported in the popular press? How did the journalist make this known?"
Wayne, I was in the right place at the right time. I was at home watching lunchtime TV news. The cameras were at the press conference. I am sure it was cut after this. I did not see it in the evening news. As far as I know it was not reported in the press. Don’t forget the Telegraph, for example, is owned by Roman Catholic brothers [as opposed to] The Times owned by born-again Christian Rupert Murdoch.
[I gave an interview on Malta TV.] Sadly, Lou Bondi, who interviewed me, got the sack. I think we got a bit too close to the truth in a Roman Catholic country. Understandably, the priests are not keen to lose their lucrative monopoly on the life-after-death industry.
[It's as Brian Josephson said:] “It’s hard to change how people think. People have vested interests, and their projects and reputations would be threatened if certain things were shown to be true.” Professor Brian D. Josephson, Nobel Laureate for physics, Mind-Matter Unification Project at Cambridge University. Interview in the New Scientist on 9 December, 2006.
