Bruce Burgess and Rene Barnett
Director and Producer of ‘Bloodline’
Previously Aired On: Monday, April 21, 2008 - Listen to the Show!
Was there a Jesus-Mary Magdalene bloodline? Does evidence exist? BLOODLINE follows documentary filmmaker, Bruce Burgess, into the so-called “bloodline conspiracy” that claims Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene, who escaped to the south of France following his crucifixion, with their child. Over three years in the making, BLOODLINE is the first investigation to uncover new evidence: a buried wooden chest with artifacts that date to first century Jerusalem and a tomb with a mummified corpse draped in a shroud bearing a red cross.
Burgess and his film crew begin their investigation following the trail of the Knights Templar who were believed to have buried secret treasure in southwest France. In Paris, he arranges to meet with two men who claim to represent the Priory of Sion, the secret society said to have evolved from the Templars in order to guard a secret treasure down through the ages.

Rene Barnett – Producer
René is a former print journalist, radio broadcaster and television producer specializing in entertainment series, specials, documentaries and reality-based programming. She is a veteran producer whose television credits include some of the premiere specials, documentaries and pioneering series of the last decade including: “Ripley’s Believe It or Not,” which enjoyed the biggest premiere in basic cable history on TBS, “Guinness World Records Primetime” for FOX and Rysher Entertainment’s internationally syndicated, “Strange Universe.” Additionally, René has produced programming for: NBC (“Unmasked: Exposing the Secrets of Deception”), HBO (“Panic!” and “Hollywood Animal Crusaders”), VH1, Discovery, TLC (“In Search of the Holy Grail”), Animal Planet (“Wild Rescues”), Lifetime (“New Attitudes”), SkyOne, Sci-Fi Channel (“Mad, Mad House”), Travel Channel (“Bigfootville”), PAX (“Places of Mystery”) and others.
In 2001, Bruce and René formed Bluebook Films, Inc., a Los Angeles-based documentary specialist and in 2005, 1244 Films LLC was founded to produce the team’s first independent feature documentary, BLOODLINE, she also serves as head of development and oversees all content for both companies. René has become a virtual expert on the bloodline conspiracy having begun her research shortly after reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail in 1982, which introduced the idea of the marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Given the success of The Da Vinci Code, she knew the timing was right to expand and unveil the research she has accumulated over the last 20 years.

The search for the solution to this mystery at Rennes-le-chateau stretches far and wide. Recent discoveries have been highlighted in an area nearby at RLC - which will be shown in this movie - and nearby Lincoln Cathedral, England. Evidence such as that provided in ‘The Bloodline’ may possibly take us that step closer to the final Answer.

Mr. Burgess, might you be interested in learning about a man who was born into this life consciously aware of the spiritual universe, and has throughout his life had many spiritual encounters that he says were designed to teach him how to communicate with the spirit world, so as to be able to do their bidding. After mastering the ability to detect and understand the spirit’s projecting at him, he’s discovered never before seen stars and galaxies, once with his naked eyes, in front of witnesses, and he’s assisted a spirit in the healing of a woman who was said to have had an incurable disease.
Lately this man has been desperately trying to communicate with the scientific and political community his views surrounding global warming and our planets rapidly melting ice shelves. It is in his strong opinion that it is actually humanities aquatic thermal accumulation that is actually more responsible for the rapid rate at which the planets ice is melting, more so than the CO2 accumulation within the atmosphere. He says that his experiments have proven these claims. He believes that our thermal accumulation has reversed the natural downwards direction of conduction within much of our planets colder regions, thus triggering both the rapid decline of the ice, as well as triggering the highest thermal increases within those regions, apparently due to the fact that the raised levels of thermal energy within the aquatic structure is being vented up and out through the colder surface waters of those regions, which is thereby being accumulated or combined with the natural solar contribution, which used to be drawn down to some degree by the natural downwards direction of conduction, which had been provided by the untainted aquatic structure in the past. He says that his experiments clearly show that ice will melt twelve times faster once this downwards direction of conduction is removed, without raising the surface water temperature a single degree, a rate comparable to that being seen around the world today, above and beyond that of the CO2 predictions. Will anyone listen???

Mr. Burgess and Ms. Barnett have obviously spent a good deal of their lives attempting to deny the redemptive work and the identity as God of Jesus Christ. Long after you have breathed your last breath and are found in the presence of Jesus Christ, the Name and person of Jesus will live and his great sacrifice and propitiation will be available to all who will come and say “Yes Lord, I need a Savior. I so grieve for your souls. The fear of God is the begining of wisdom.
