The Adam & Eve Story

The Adam & Eve Story: The History of Cataclysms’ a circa 300 page book written by so called Chan Thomas, a purported world expert on geothermal and tectonic studies, was first published in 1963 by Emerson House - Los Angeles; and allegedly a third edition published in 1965, then republished in 1993 by Bengal Tiger Press.

The book is an exploration of historical cataclysms, such as Noah's flood, and a prediction of future ones. Allegedly partly based on James Churchward’s (1850-1936), Immanuel Velikovsky’s (1895-1979) and Charles Hapgood’s (1804-1982) controversial geophysics and paleomagnetics ideas, it just so happens that the author's scientific predictions of the next cataclysm agree with clairvoyant Nostradamus'.

Worth noting, that Charles Hapgood had worked for the Central Intelligence Agency services (CIA)’s predecessor the Office of Strategic Services during World War II.

So why did the CIA restrict this compendium among all other research materials of its kind?

Partially declassified on June 24, 2013, in a reduced 57 page booklet version called “The Adam & Eve Story” still containing a lot we're not allowed to know. Hardly considered State secrets, it is not clear when, why and how the CIA classified Thomas’s book, but the fact that the CIA chose to release a declassified sanitized version in 2013 is of significance. https://www.cia.gov/library/readingro...

That said, what is a 1965 book being saved and censored by the CIA for?

This now-declassified, 'sanitized' version of "The Adam & Eve Story" details the sudden 'end' of life on planet Earth. The book, details a very controversial pole shift theory which according to the author has been happening over and over again throughout history and will come again, "just as it came to Noah".

The fact that the CIA for some reason kept this book censored until a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request forced them to release it has caused the book to receive a lot of attention online in numerous forums, stories and videos.

Since 1967, the FOIA has provided the public the right to request access to records from any federal agency. It is often described as the law that keeps citizens in the know about their government. Federal agencies are required to disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless it falls under one of nine exemptions which protect interests such as personal privacy, national security, and law enforcement. That stated, one could wonder what interests are thus being protected?

While "The Adam & Eve Story" absolutely details what would be a world ending catastrophe with 1,000 mph winds and tidal waves sweeping across the entire planet measuring over a mile high, one could not help but wonder if the book is just the ravings of a madman? Why has the CIA only released this 'sanitized copy, having censored it completely for years? And what's within it that they don't want us to know?

Could it be due to the simple fact that, “The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function,” as put forth by Al Bartlett, emeritus professor of physics at University of Colorado at Boulder, USA?

As a footnote, Apocrypha are works, usually written, of unknown authorship or of doubtful origin. Apocrypha was also applied to writings that were hidden not because of their divinity but because of their questionable value to the Church or other religious communities.

Whereas, Pseudepigrapha technically, are books written in a biblical style and ascribed to an author who did not, could not or should not have written such. In common usage, however, the term is often used by way of distinction to refer to Apocryphal writings that do not appear in printed editions of the Bible and the like.

That said, one cannot help but wonder what or who’s interest is thus being protected?

What is even of greater concern is that all information about the author Chan Thomas seems to have been expunged! Could it be that Chan Thomas was a pen name? A Thomas Chandler for instance, or could any combination and variation thereof yield another author?

Food for thought!
