I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.

Based on a story once told by R. Naumann, Maier files begins by following a seemingly perfectly normal couple. But there is one crucial difference that sets Dieter and Lena apart: they are sharing a veiled family history.
When they accidentaly surface the diaries and notebooks of Otto Maier, a man who disappeared into thin air by the end of World War 2, the fat is in the flames. Their curiosity pulls them into a web of dark intrigues and an ancient conflict between mighty powers.
It leads them to question everything they believe in. All here is upside down and inside out and nothing is ever what it seems ...
𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙈𝙖𝙞𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨?
Because Maier files is self publishing, the original story will be told. Where other stop, we continue! No censorship, no commercial concessions, no Thought Police corrections, just the raw, heretic story.
With its ambitious genre-crossing Maier files covers the big topics and big questions. Expect plenty of intriguing mythology, as well as a detailed history survey of a scientist obsessed by the search for Truth.
It is the story and struggle of the physicist Otto Maier, who wants to safeguard his intellectual property when he realizes that he's being out-maneuvered by people with lesser motives.
Maier files is based on true events and little known facts. Of course it is fiction but just because it's fiction doesn't mean that the layers in the Maier files are any less true. A story full of realities for those who have eyes to see.

When the mob governs, man is ruled by ignorance; when the church governs, he is ruled by superstition; and when the state governs, he is ruled by fear. Before men can live together in harmony and understanding, ignorance must be transmuted into wisdom, superstition into an illuminated faith, and fear into love.
