Posting a series of threads here as background information for a couple of pizzagate posts which (hopefully) I'll do shortly. It's a complex web of connections.

This particular post started with The Project Gutenberg EBook of Ely Cathedral as I was researching Ely Cathedral (and looking for secret societies associated with Benedictine monks..I'll explain later). But first, let's look at the Project Gutenberg...

The History and Philosophy of Project Gutenberg by Michael Hart

Project Gutenberg began in 1971 when Michael Hart was given an operator's account with $100,000,000 of computer time in it by the operators of the Xerox Sigma V mainframe at the Materials Research Lab at the University of Illinois.

The premise on which Michael Hart based Project Gutenberg was: anything that can be entered into a computer can be reproduced indefinitely ... what Michael termed "Replicator Technology"

This philosophical premise has created several offshoots: 1.Electronic Texts (Etexts) created by Project Gutenberg are to be made available in the simplest, easiest to use forms available.

Suggestions to make them less readily available are not to be treated lightly. Therefore, Project Gutenberg Etexts are made available in what has become known as "Plain Vanilla ASCII,"

In this same vein, Project Gutenberg selects etexts targeted a bit on the "bang for the buck" philosophy ... we choose etexts we hope extremely large portions of the audience will want and use frequently. We are constantly asked to prepare etext from out of print editions of esoteric materials, but this does not provide for usage by the audience we have targeted, 99% of the general public.

There are three portions of the Project Gutenberg Library, basically be described as:

Light Literature; such as Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, Peter Pan, Aesop's Fables, etc.

Heavy Literature; such as the Bible or other religious documents, Shakespeare, Moby Dick, Paradise Lost, etc.

References; such as Roget's Thesaurus, almanacs, and a set of encyclopedia, dictionaries, etc.

Anybody getting that pedo vibe yet? The language that is used at this page caused me to look further, particulary in the context of the topic I was researching which I'll expand upon in another post...

The page goes on:

The Light Literature Collection is designed to get persons to the computer in the first place, whether the person may be a pre-schooler or a great-grandparent. We love it when we hear about kids or grandparents taking each other to an etexts to Peter Pan when they come back from watching HOOK at the movies, or when they read Alice in Wonderland after seeing it on TV. We have also been told that nearly every Star Trek movie has quoted current Project Gutenberg etext releases (from Moby Dick in The Wrath of Khan; a Peter Pan quote finishing up the most recent, etc.) not to mention a reference to Through the Looking-Glass in JFK. This was a primary concern when we chose the books for our libraries.

Then I find this.. the author of that website was interviewed by Sam Vaknin, the internet's most famous narcissist (psychopath) no less: http://samvak.tripod.com/busiweb29.html

Michael S. Hart is a Professor of Electronic Text at Benedictine University (Illinois, U.S.A.) and a former Visiting Scientist at Carnegie Mellon University was a Fellow of the Internet Archive for the year 2000. He founded Project Gutenberg in 1971 and is currently its Executive Coordinator.

From a Guardian article on Hart: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/sep/08/michael-hart-inventor-ebook-dies

"What allowed me to think of this particular use for computers so long before anyone else did is the same thing that allows every other inventor to create their inventions: being at the right place, at the right time, with the right background. As Lermontov said in The Red Shoes: 'Not even the greatest magician in the world can pull a rabbit out of a hat if there isn't already a rabbit in it'," said Hart in 2002.

I'll just finish up here on a bit about Benedictine University where Michael Hart worked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedictine_University

The university resides within the Chicago metropolitan area, and is located nearby two national research facilities—Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

The Strasbourg Years - Fermilab Education Office https://ed.fnal.gov/lincon/f97/projects/guildhall/printer/strasyears.html

It was in Strasbourg that Gutenberg began experimenting with the creation of moveable type and the printing process. However, he had to make a living while doing this so progress was slow. With the scant records available of this time period in his life, it is generally held that Gutenberg made his living as a craftsman and merchant. He traded in wine which would make an excellent cover for his work with printing.

he only clue to Gutenberg's activity in the printing process comes from a recorded dispute he had with a partnership between three Strasbourg men, Hans Riffe, Andres Heilmann and Andres Dritzehen. He had agreed to teach a process he had invented to these three partners in return for a fee and large loans of money. This process was to be kept a secret and if one of the partners should die, Gutenberg maintained the right to buy out their share of the business.

Sometime between 1450 and 1455, the Gutenberg Bible-the first complete Bible to be printed- was given to the world. No other book has had so great an influence on the Craft. The heart of all Masonic lodges is the Great Light in Masonry-the Holy Bible.

History of Benedictine University http://www.ben.edu/center-for-mission-and-identity/identity/history-heritage.cfm

Benedictine University was founded by the Benedictine monks of St. Procopius Abbey in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago in 1887. The Benedictine Order bears the name of St. Benedict, born in 480, who is acknowledged as the father of western monasticism. In 528, he established the famed monastery of Monte Cassino.

Okay, now onto Ely Cathedral
