ROMAN PISO FAMILY WROTE THE NEW TESTAMENT, INVENTED "JESUS"
"We Jews and Church Leaders have known since the beginning of Christianity
that it was synthesized by the Roman Piso family for the purpose of
maintaining control over the masses and to placate slaves. And, this is why
we Jews are the "Chosen People" and why we have endured so much for so many
years; we are witnesses to the lie. Our ancestors wrote what they could about
this in our texts."
FROM CHAPTER I (The True Authorship of the New Testament)
"The New Testament, the Church, and Christianity, were all the creation of
the Calpurnius Piso (pronounced Peso w/long "E") family (a), who were Roman
aristocrats. The New Testament and all the characters in it -- Jesus, all the
Josephs, all the Marys, all the disciples, apostles, Paul, and John the
Baptist--are all fictional."
"The Pisos created the story and the characters; they tied the story into a
specific time and place in history; and they connected it with some
peripheral actual people, such as the Herods, Gamaliel, the Roman
procurators, etc. But Jesus and everyone involved with him were created (that
is, fictional!) characters."
"In the middle of the first century of our present era, Rome's aristocracy
felt itself confronted with a growing problem. The Jewish religion was
continuing to grow in numbers, adding ever more proselytes. Jews numbered
more than 8,000,000, and were 10% of the population of the empire and 20% of
that portion living east of Rome. (b) Approximately half or more of the Jews
lived outside Palestine, of which many were descended from proselytes, male
and female." (c)
"However, Judaism's ethics and morality were incompatible with the hallowed
Roman institution of slavery on which the aristocracy fed, lived and ruled.
They feared that Judaism would become the chief religion of the empire. The
Roman author, Annaeus Seneca, tutor and confidant of Emperor Nero, suggested
in a letter to his friend Lucilius (a pseudonym of Lucius Piso) that lighting
candles on Sabbaths be prohibited. (d) Seneca is later quoted by St.
Augustine in his City of God (e) (although the quotation does not exist in
Seneca's extant writings) as charging that: "the (Sabbath) customs of that
most accursed nation have gained such strength that they have been now
received in all lands, the conquered have given laws to the conqueror.""
"The family headed by Seneca's friend, Lucius Piso, was confronted with an
allied problem more personal to it. They were the Calpurnius Pisos, who were
descended from statesmen and consuls, and from great poets and historians as
well. Gaius and Lucius Calpurnius Piso, leaders of the family, had both
married Arria the Younger (from her grandfather's name, Aristobulus). This
made Gaius and Lucius Piso's wife the great-granddaughter of Herod the Great."
"Repeatedly, religious-minded Judaean zealots were staging insurrections
against the Herodian rulers of Judaea who were Piso's wife's relations. Piso
wished to strengthen his wife's family's control of the Judaeans. The Pisos
searched for a solution to the two problems. They found it in the Jewish holy
books, which were the foundation both for the rapid spread of the religion
and for the zealot's refusal to be governed by Rome's puppets. The Pisos
mocked, but marveled at, the Jewish belief in their holy books. Therefore,
they felt a new "Jewish" book would be the ideal method to pacify the
Judaeans and strengthen their in-laws' control of the country."
"About the year, 60 A.D. (C.E.), Lucius Calpurnius Piso composed Ur Marcus,
the first version of the Gospel of Mark, which no longer exists. He was
encouraged by his friend Seneca (f) and assisted by his wife's kinsman, young
Persius the Poet. Nero's mistress (later his wife) Poppea was pro-Jewish, and
Nero opposed the plan. The result was the Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate
Nero, detailed in the historian Tacitus. But this attempt failed when he
aborted the plot. Instead, Nero had Piso and Seneca and their fellow
conspirators executed by forcing them to commit suicide."
"He exiled Piso's young son Arrius (spelled "Arius" herein), who appears in
Tacitus under several names, including "Antonius Natalis." (g) Nero sent
young Piso to Syria as governor. That post also gave him command of the
legions controlling Judaea. His own "history" records his service in Judaea
in the year 65 under the name of Gessius Florus, and in 66 with the pseudonym
Cestius Gallus."
"This Arius Calpurnius Piso deliberately provoked the Jewish revolt in 66 so
he could destroy the Temple in Jerusalem (h)--for the Jews were unwilling to
accept his father's story and thereby become pacified by it as it was
intended. However, his 12th legion was caught by the zealots in the Pass of
Beth Horon and almost lost. Nero's reaction was to exile him instead to
Pannonia, to command a legion there; and to send Licinius Mucianus to serve
in Syria, and Vespasian to Judaea to put down the Jewish revolt."
"Then in 68 Nero was assassinated by his own slave Epaphroditus (I) --who
unknown to his master was young Piso's lackey. Galba became emperor and named
Piso's cousin, Licinianus Piso, (j) as his intended successor; but Galba in
turn was soon overthrown by Otho. Otho was then overthrown by Vitellius-at
which point Piso and his friends began to flock together against the latter.
The Pisos, Mucianus, and Tiberius Alexander all joined ranks behind Vespasian
to seek to overthrow Vitellius. (k) The were joined by Frontinus and
Agricola."
"Arius Calpurnius Piso was still commanding the 7th legion in Pannonia (l)
(Austria-Hungary), and Vespasian sent him (m) (now appearing in Tacitus with
the name Marcus Antonius Primus (n)) south across the Alps to overthrow
Vitellius. Meanwhile, the main body of Vespasian's legions marched overland
under Mucianus from the east towards Rome. Piso succeeded in defeating
Vitellius' army and secured Rome for Vespasian.(o) Mucianus arrived and
promptly sent him to Judaea to help Titus at the siege of Jerusalem. He did
so, and in 70 they assaulted the city, then the Temple, burned it,
slaughtered many thousands, sent thousands more to slavery and gladiatorial
combat and death." "Then, Arius Calpurnius Piso wrote, in sequence, the
following: Gospel of Matthew (70-75 C.E.) Present Gospel of Mark (75-80 C.E.)
Gospel of Luke (85-90 C.E., with help of Pliny the Younger) In the gospel
story he inserted himself by playing the role of not only Jesus, but of all
the Josephs, as well. He particularly enjoyed assuming the identity of
Joseph. Wishing to create a Jewish hero, a savior, in fictional form, he (and
his father before him), felt the identity of a second Joseph secretly, but
very aptly, fit them. For their name Piso had the same four letters,
rearranged, as the four Hebrew letters (Yud Vov Samech Fey) which in that
language spelled the name Joseph. Thus they saw themselves as the new Joseph.
That is why so much of the story of Joseph in Egypt is secretly redone and
inserted into the gospel story of Jesus."

(m) (Tacitus) Vespasian relied on Piso because he was grandson of his own
brother--Vespasian's brother, T. Flavius Sabinus, had married Arria Sr., who
was Piso's maternal grandmother. Piso's identity as thus also a Flavian is
decipherable from the appearance in the Flavian family line of L. Caesennius
Paetus (Townend, Gavin, Some Flavian Connections, Journal of Roman Studies
LI.54,62, 1961). That was an alias (like Thrasea Paetus) of Piso's father, L.
Calpurnius Piso. See page 20 supra, wherein Piso himself also is mentioned as
a Caesennius Paetus. That is the true reason Piso used the literary pseudonym
of Flavius; it was not because of his alleged-but untrue and hardly
necessary-adoption by Emperor Flavius Vespasian. He was in fact a Flavian.
Piso humorously used the three basic consonants of the Flavians' Sabinus
name, SBN, in revised sequences for some of his fictional literary identities:
(1) BarNaBaS who appears in Acts 4.36 and there specifically stated as
another name of a Joseph (Josephus!),
(2) BarNaBazoS in Antiq. XI.207, (3) BaNnoS in Vita 11, the mirror-image of
John the Baptist.
The same device of rearranging consonants was used in recreating Afranius
Burrus, the friend of Seneca (Tacitus, Annals XIII-XIV)-and therefore of
Lucius Piso. He was Nero's Praetorian Prefect, and then several years before
Seneca's death, was himself a victim of the emperor. Burrus reappears as
BaRaBbaS, the fictional brigand in Mat. 27.16.
(n) (Tacitus, Histories III.6). The realization that Marcus Antonius Primus
was a pseudonym of Arius Calpurnius Piso is based on these factors:
1. The name in Pliny's letters under which Piso is the latter's wife's
grandfather is Arius Antoninus.
2. According to Suetonius (Lives of the Caesars, Book IV. XXV), Emperor Caius
Caligula appropriated Gaius Piso's wife at Piso's marriage. That would have
been about the year 36--the year before Arius' birth. Caligula is known to
have been a descendant of Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius). Seemingly Suetonius
was teasing at the questioned paternity of Piso's alter ego creation.
3. Tacitus' caustic description of Marcus Antonius Primus remind one of Piso.
4. The idea to call Piso "Antonius Primus" --was his own. It was Piso himself
in his Jewish War IV.495 who first detailed Antonius Primus' campaign for
Vespasian against Vitellius. Also Josephus inserts "Antonius" (himself!) as a
centurion who dies at the capture of Jotapata (Jewish War III.333).
5. Marcus Antonius Primus' colleague in the campaign against Vitellius is
named Arrius Varus (Tacitus, Histories III.6). This is yet another alter ego
of Piso himself. In the mid-50's (C.E.), while in his late teens, young Piso
was a prefect of a cohort of legionnaires in the campaign against Vologeses,
King of Armenia--serving there (in Tacitus, Annals XIII.9) under the name of
Arrius Varus.
6. His exploits as General Marcus Antonius Primus account for his absence
from Judaea in the years 67-69, between his defeat as Cestius Gallus and his
reappearing to assist Titus as the siege of Jerusalem in 70. Rather than
being Vespasian's prisoner in chains, he was his general, advancing on Rome
in his behalf.

by Antonius Primus" (Tacitus, Histories, IV.2).
