Thomas documents the facts the Pentagon actively denies: chemical and biological warfare by Iraq (denied because between 1985-1989 American taxpayers subsidised the export of large quantities of CBW raw materials to Iraq); the US use of depleted uranium shells that often backfired on their own troops and are implicated in the grow- ing incidence of cancer and deformities in Iraqi children; and the vast array of illnesses attributed not only to CBW attack and oil/ oilfire pollution but an untested cocktail of vaccines, pesticides and other contaminants. Thomas is not afraid to expose the mili- tary-industrial war machine that refuses to take responsibility for the horrors it has unleashed. He writes of the suffering sol- diers and their families, and the scientists who, against the odds, attempt to understand their symptoms and alleviate their pain.

[I 1975, David Furlong (a surveyor/town planner and a practising healer) made an exciting discovery while studying the pat- terns, alignments, sacred sites and ley ener- gies of Marlborough Downs, Wiltshire, UK. He identified a twin-circle pattern (a vesi- ca pisces design), each with a radius of 5.96 miles (9,570 metres), upon which lies an array of barrows, tumuli, henges such as Avebury, and churches (some built on pre- existing sites) in geometric relationship with each other and with other major ley lines. The next year he discovered, hidden within its design, the geometric blueprint of the Great Pyramid of Khufu at Giza in Egypt! The Keys to the Temple is the culmination of 25 years of research into this relationship. Furlong draws on the groundbreaking 'ley- hunting’ research of Alfred Watkins in the 1920s and John Michell who identified the St Michael's ley in his 1969 book, View Over Atlantis. He also speculates on what the Knights Templars knew about the site's parallels with the Pyramid's secrets.
