A Secret Full of Secrets

The President's Book of Secrets

Brought to fame recently by the Hollywood film National Treasure: Book of Secrets , the book as a theory has been around for years and years. The president's book of secrets is a conspirator's wet dream, a conspiracy containing even more conspiracies. Granted some of the theories are bit ridiculous and when taking a realistic look at them its obvious they can not be true.However, there are rumored to contain the truth about the Apollo missions, extra-terrestrial life, and even the truth about events not even taken place yet. 

Everything all started way back before we had even completed the Revolutionary War when George Washington began the book. From then on each president has read, added to the book, and eventually passed down the book to the next president. The only two people on earth who know the location of the book is the current president and the National Librarian of Congress. The only reason the National Librarian of Congress knows of its existence and location is due to the possibility of assassination of the president. 

The top ten secrets of the book (According to Yahoo writer) are as follows..

1. The Lincoln Memorial is actually made of gold.

2. If tie in Supreme Court Ruling, President takes White House Seal and flips as coin.

3. Missing eight minutes of Watergate Films

4.Celebrity witness protection program between US and Canada

5.Stockpile of Spam inside Hoover Dam

6.The British Royal Family are clones

7.Truth behind the Apollo Program

8.Mer-People caught in footage of BP Oil Spill

9.Hilary Clinton served as De Facto President

10.American Royal Family

The Book of Secrets: Hollywood Style

In 2007, the movie National Treasure: Book of Secrets was released to the world. The story goes that Benjamin Franklin Gates, a famous treasure hunter, seeks the lost city of gold. In his search he must peek into the president's book of secrets to learn of the city's location. 

While flipping through the pages actor Nicholas Cage glimpses at pages on the Kennedy Assassination, Area 51, Watergate, and etc. Also incorporated into the film was the rumor regarding the National Librarian of Congress. Nicholas Cage travels to the actual Library of Congress to get the book.

Overall, like any other conspiracy theory, even though this one could end up revealing other conspiracy theories, it remains to be proven or dis proven. The only way we will ever find out if its real is if the president come outs with proof of the book existing. So for now I leave it up to you, the general public.
