Serious Question: Is "Solomon's Secret" Available?

10/5/2016

15 Comments

 
Three months have passed since the last time I asked about the long-promised release of Solomon's Secret and Commodus's Secret.  For those of you haven't been following this story, Hutton Pulitzer (now teamed up with Scott Wolter as "Xplrr") has been taking "pre-order" money for Solomon's Secret and related publications since at least November of 2014. The estimated shipping date, meanwhile, has been a moving target (you can read about that here).

I got an email from Pulitzer on July 2 with the following statement:

"With assurances, the books are real, the manufacturing in process, items being delivered and all refund requests honored and documented along with two which site YOU as the reason for the refund I (and we appreciate that, it made for good further documentation of your actions and intent)."

Several people who contacted me about difficulties getting their money refunded did, reportedly, get their money back after my last post. So that's a good thing. One of them forwarded me an email from Pulitzer with the following statement:

"We are in the midst of packaging at this very moment and getting ready to ship the increments but if you desire a refund we will honor your request.

     Since this seems to be shared around, you now represent the 3rd request for refund.  Thank you for sending the information and this will be immediately processed.
     We appreciate your patronage but it is unfortunate since the size of the Solomons Secret has tripled in content and size and the final information and discoveries are only going to be shared in the kit format."

That email was from early July, 2016. On July 22, Pulitzer commented on this post on Jason Colavito's website that "As far as Solomon's Secret, at least you know they have started to ship." A few days later, Pulitzer posted this comment on Jason Colavito's blog confirming that the books were as good as in the mail:

It's now October.  Has anyone gotten the books?

That's a serious question. 

My guess is that the answer is "no," but I'm prepared to be told otherwise and I hope I'm wrong. I'm still searching for an answer as to how Pulitzer will attempt to reconcile his various conflicting statements associated with his "Roman sword" claim.

As an interesting side note, I just stumbled across this Patreon page for the Solomon's Secret pre-order. It was published December 2, 2014, around the same time as the other websites selling the book. If you want a chuckle, read what you get at the different donation levels (I'd hurry, though, because the site will undoubtedly vanish shortly). Apparently two patrons are still contributing a total of $8.64/month to the effort.

Bless their hearts.

"Bless their hearts",, lol, it's probably Hutton himself contributing those monies. Like a panhandler putting seed money in his hat.

The answer is obvious to those brave enough to see the truth... the books have been suppressed! There is no other reason possible. The shills and agents of the academic canal, in secret cooperation with the Alien Reptiliods and their master Hillary Clinton, deep within the Smithsonian have again denied the people the truth.

The dark minions have snatched each shipped set in the early morning hours at post offices around the world, and replaced postal workers with android slaves to do their bidding in case of further shipments. Madness you say? What else accounts for the soul-less expressions of the postal workers.

For those who did order the priceless books, count yourselves lucky, lest you too join the countless numbers who have gone missing defying the cabal.

Ok, I just made that all up... but why has Our Hero failed to use such a perfectly believable explanation, and one so perfectly suited to his fans????

I'm willing to license the above copyrighted material at a very affordable rate.

In one of his periscope things he said it is now 8 big books worth of information so they have gone audio format instead, and will be delivering it digitally. A package of his already existing soundcloud clips and the botched clips from the sword report maybe, is my guess. Filler.

Ah yes - the August 30 proclamation that they've "been working on it" . . . over a month after it was "ready to ship." Classic.

His private lessons are shockingly cheap, also the legality of calling something a university is curious to me.

No. Pence tried to deny it, but was interrupted by Kaine...

Read the "About" page as well, before it disappears, for a good laugh:

He's made the about page private now. However his bio is the usual and funny usual. Truly a pathetic little man.

I think the page is the same as when I found it. The profile stuff was already "private." The buttons to contribute simply directed to the Patreon homepage. It looks to me like the site was yet another idea that was launched incomplete and never followed-up on.

Even if I'd received the book I couldn't tell you - its a secret.

I was just reading the Patreon homepage and realized that there must be a fresh harvest of CAPITAL LETTERS! (and exclamation points!). He truly believes that he can convince people thru assertion. The more caps he uses the less evidence he needs. I've also noticed Philjaw isn't posting to yours or Jason Colavito's posts anymore. Did you ban him finally, or put him in the penalty box till he comes up with something substantial to add to the conversations? Just curious about the lack of input on Philjaw's part. Seems to me he thrives on attention of any kind. I'm not sure about Jason's blog, but after Philjaw threatened to sue for libel (again!) that Jason stopped referring to Wolter and Philjaw by name. Maybe we should start calling them the demonic duo. I've seen some of the posts that Philjaw has made about you and Jason and can't help but smile knowing that you and Jason have gotten so far under his skin. Most of what they (the demonic duo) write about these days is directed not to their fans, but to you and Jason. Good job! As for Wolters I thing Joe Scales hits the nail on the head, he only posts to his blog what he wants. He picks his posts to make himself look good. He may even write as second person post to show high volume positive feedback from his "massive fan base". Even the negative posts he "allows" to post he manipulates the conversation so as to come out looking wise, honest, and fair. Joe Scales tried to post to Wolters site, but was never able to get him to commit to any line of conversation that put him (Wolters) in a negative light. Is it true that they "pad" the number of hits on their sites to make it look like a far larger number of people are tuning into their podcast and post? I seem to recall hearing of a service or app that can create thousands of hits on a web site. Whatever. It doesn't matter in the long run. People will either see them for what they are, immature children who need attention to feel important, or people will simply believe everything they hear because thats what they do. I wouldn't care if it wasn't for the fact they are trying to make money off of peoples ignorance and to influence peoples way of thinking. All for money and ego. Nobody likes a liar or a con. Add to that Philjaw posts using others names and pretends to be them. Thats just childish!

I can't see anything Pulitzer writes about me on Facebook, etc., because he has me blocked. He probably just cuts-and-pastes it from somewhere else anyway.
