When Eton says their school has history, they’re really not kidding. The famed £46k per year boys boarding school is a British brand synonymous with elitism, even though the school was originally founded in the 15th century to educate the poor.
For centuries, Eton College, in the shadow of Windsor Castle, has eagerly produced the ruling elite, a fact the school promotes to recruit new students. Of the 57 British prime ministers to date, Eton proudly includes 20 amongst its alumni, including Boris Johnson – nicknamed ‘the Eton Mess’.
Known as Old Etonians , students have included the first Duke of Wellington , who defeated Napoleon, Lord North who “lost” the American colonies, and countless politicians. Alumni also include William, Prince of Wales and heir apparent to the throne, Leopold III of Belgium, George Orwell, and Billons’ Damian Lewis.
In the process, the school has turned its initial mission on its head.

PREFACE
The title of this work is simply "TEXT". For years there have been basically two sets of books kept on the Planet Earth.
The set for the elite were called "text books" and they contained the Truth.
The set of books for ordinary people were known [to the elite] as X-Text which means bad text or text filled with dis-information and propaganda with just a tiny bit of real truth to give them some sense of credibility.
This book is in the for real "TEXT" format and it is not just for the elite - it is for everyone - for all the humans living on the Earth everywhere without regard to Caste or race or sex or anything else.
This has not been done before, and the Author must confess that he went through a good bit of "interference" from various sources in the process of preparing this book which has been his life's work.
Therefore, I trust that the generations who will use this book will share with me the some of the joy and fulfillment that I have experienced in the process of preparing this material.
