Hail Tom! Many thanks for your thoughtful & thought-provoking letter of 10 SEP 08. You’ve raised many points of wisdom in regard to our conduct as Aryans. The Germans have a view of people who appear to be more than they are, & people who are more than they appear to be. I prefer to be amongst the latter, for the masses tend to be asses who will not comprehend, anyway. As for the former, who want to appear as more than they are, shaven heads, tattooed insignia & slogans are intended to make up for what they lack inside themselves. They don’t fool people for long, so they have to associate with others who also wish to fool people. Eugene O’Neill described such a mutual conspiracy of illusion in his great little play, “The Iceman Cometh,” in which a travelling salesman unmasks each one’s illusions, including his own. I recommend it for reading.

Bertrand Russell, the English mathematician & peacenik, wrote of the majority who “eat the cake of convention,” rather than striving to achieve their own ‘menu’ of belief & behavior. We “go along to get along,” for the most part. My own parents tried to live in terms of some mythical “Joneses,” rather than standards of their own making & liking, within the realm of the possible. I learned from them, thereby avoiding the grave error of attempting to live someone else’s life. Hence, I’ve lived my own life, according to my own standards. This is not a sacrifice, but a privilege.

Humans are gregarious, that is, communal animals, for it takes two to reproduce. Most of us live in societies, in which we must get along, to some extent, with those around us. But this does not mean we must associate with our inferiors in beliefs & behavior. I do not. Again, that is a privilege for me, not a sacrifice. The Aryan hero you so well describe is a member of society in terms of what he can contribute, rather than what he can get from his association. Unlike the empty groupies, the Aryan needs no one to lean on, or to confirm to him that he exists, as do the groupies, who can only wish to have such an Aryan as their leader.

The writer, Toland, noted that none of the NSDAP leaders needed The Party to be ‘somebodies,’ for they were somebodies in their own right. He said, “Even when Hitler was a nobody (unknown), he was a ‘somebody.’” So somebodies in our own right we must be, rather than ‘empty vessels,’ which make the loudest noise.

Indeed, might makes ‘right,’ as our jew president Teddy Roosevelt declared, when he took Panama from Colombia, but strength without wisdom leads to disaster, as our imperialist adventure has proved over the decades, to the present. The Aryan must be wise as well as strong. He must put his race first: Is this good for Aryans? must be his eternal question. Thanks for sharing some of the wisdom of The Bhagavad Gita. I’m told that The Vedas has more of same, although I’ve yet to find a copy thereof. The wisdom of India is from the Aryan conquerors, who disobeyed the B.G. rule against race-mixing: “From the corruption of women proceeds the confusion of races; from the confusion of races, the loss of memory; from the loss of memory the loss of understanding, & from this, all evil.” I shall stay tuned for any reply from Mr. Bunsee of South Africa.

If we learn nothing else in life, we must learn to govern ourselves through self-knowledge. Hitler said that we all have our “inner piggy” which we must wrestle with to achieve our best. The Church listed this creature as “the 7 deadly sins.” As we mature (I hope), our piggish nature which was usually manifest in childhood, should shrink in size. Some people grow old without maturing. Of the USA it is said that we have come from savagery to senility, with no intervening period of civilization. I know many people like that.

Indeed, those who lack self-mastery are at war with themselves. Addicts fit this description, as well as those who give themselves up to intoxication & irresponsible behavior. There is no virtue nor heroism in dissolute behavior.

As you say in your essay, our enemies have made us cowardly by indoctrinating us with false guilt. Such trickery is not only a good substitute for force, but it allows our enemies to use our strength against us. Such a deal! Toxic theology is poisonous to Aryan warriors, & Christinsanity carries a double-whammy with its message of guilt & forgiveness toward our enemies, as well as its Protestant gospel of wealth, which tells us to be acquisitive. When we are inquisitive, albeit rarely, we have our ‘edjewcators’ to bemuse us with disinformation & distractions. I think you’d agree with the writer who said that most people are under Hebrew Hypnosis: They think they are awake, when they are really dreaming. When I hear sheeple say that “We are fighting for freedom in Iraq,” I know I’ve met one of the sleepers. Aryans must be warriors, who are awake, courageous & wise. I’ll forward your essay to THOR INK. Many thanks. ORION!

Hail Tom! Many thanks for your letter of 29 AUG 08. I appreciate your compliment about my store of knowledge, most of which comes from my own research & experience. Academically, I earned 2 B.A.s & an M.A. in subjects related to International Relations, but ZOG stole my doctoral dissertation on Peru & banned this White man from teaching, so I cannot earn a living from that career. Hence, I do it for nothing, as I am able, when I encounter the very few Goyim (Gentiles) who are interested in making sense of the world. This has been my career, all along: To find out what is going on, & how it relates to us, & to Our Race. While my knowledge has not made me rich, it has saved me from making bad investments of my time, labor & such money (zogbucks) as I’ve been able to scrounge from my part-time, minimum wage coolie jobs. Meanwhile, my learning continues, thanks to my correspondents, & I continue to pass on the knowledge I’ve obtained, which I hope will serve others. Maybe that’s why I have no time for drugs, booze & tattoos.

When we study the languages of our people, we can better appreciate ourselves. My Folk come from Scandinavia, via the Orkneys & Hebrides, so I’m an ‘offshore Scot.’ I learned to distinguish ethnicity of the British Isles in their attitudes & behavior, & I can recognize such in myself, as a Norwegian Scot. When I was in Sweden, I had the opportunity to learn some Swedish. I’ve studied & learned to one degree or another various languages, but in the case of Swedish, I bad the strange feeling that I was not so much learning as remembering. My people are seafarers, whatever they may do on land, thus it was natural that I would travel around the world by ship, in my job-hunting. It is remarkable that I’ve done more sea miles than I have air miles, especially in the 20th century, so it seems that sea travel for me was not only natural, but necessary: A developmental task, as they call it in psychology. Jung wrote of “racial memory,” & the ancient Aryans of India wrote in their Bhagavad Gita: “From the corruption of women proceeds the confusion of races; from the confusion of races, the loss of memory; from the loss of memory, the loss of understanding, & from this, all evil.” I see the truth of those pre-biblical words all around me.

The Irish were mugged by the Judeo-British Empire of the Rothschild banksters, under a cloak of religious fanaticism instigated by Cromwell & his jew cronies. The jew, “Karl Marx,” who was funded by the jew capitalist, Friedrich Engels, thought that the British Empire could be destroyed by its colonies. Apparently, “Marx” believed that the USA had achieved independence from Britain with its Rothschild Freemasonic “Revolution,” although we are as firmly under Rothschild bankster rule now, as if King George III had never been defeated. Like King George III, our ‘King’ George II is a Rothschild employee & shareholder. As a Frenchman observed: “The more things change, the more they remain the same.” But Goyim don’t change. We remain as stupid as ever, by neither knowing, nor wanting to know. Ignorance is not bliss. Usually, ignorance is death. Sheep are not supposed to think. If they did, they’d be harder to fleece & slaughter.

The jews infiltrated the Irish rebels, just as the jew, Franco, infiltrated the Spanish Nationalist rebels in The Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. De Valera was Ireland’s jew-in-place, being himself of Spanish marrano origin (jews who ‘converted’ to Catholicism, while maintaining their jewish nationalism & even their religion). I’ve known such people in Spain, so Ireland would not be exempt from such infiltration via the Catholic Church. As Cardinal Lustiger declared: “I’m a Christian, but I remain a jew.” Dumb Goyim think that a Christian cannot be a jew, which is like believing that a Christian cannot be a Chinaman. Religion & nationality are different, for religion is belief & nationality is being. Belief should affect behavior, but not in the case of one who claims to believe one thing, but behaves differently, since he believes in something else. Gerry Adams of Sinn Fein impresses me as a jew. Sinn Fein is the legal wing of the IRA, which has apparently adopted a new view of Irish Independence: ”Brits out, wogs in. That’s how we intend to win.” What is the meaning of independence if Ireland is no longer Irish? The IRA is now a mafia of drugs, thugs & weapons sales, with no pretense of patriotism. The same evolution has occurred with Marxist rebels in Latin America, from Marxism to mafia.

Brian [---], an Irish Nationalist, in terms of White Nationalism, sees a darkening future for the Irish, whose new religion, apparently, is drugs, along with the traditional booze. The jew Bolshevik, “Lenin,” described religion as “the opiate of the masses,” but today, he’d describe drugs (opiates) as the religion of the masses, for drugs sabotage political & social activism, as I saw in the Hippie Era. If there are no fat revolutionaries, there are certainly no stoned ones, either, nor ‘militant’ passed out drunks. The Struggle continues. All the best. ORION!

Dear Tom: Many thanks for your letter of 22 AUG 08, with your cogent thoughts. Maxims are usually accompanied by their opposites, such as “Look before you leap,” & “He who hesitates is lost.” If we don’t take the counsel of our fears, then we would not “Hope for the best & prepare for the worst.” Yes, there is good & bad in all races, but is it good or bad for Our Race? That’s for us to decide.

Indeed, what has made Whites into such wimps & weaklings? Well, Christinsanity has emasculated the White men, & jew usury has put us into chains. The fact that we are jew-slaves never enters our feeble minds, to the jews’ evil joy. If the White man was ever a master, then he has been in charge, on behalf of imperial jew banksterism, at least since the 1700s, when Rothschild made it big. Since then, the Rothschilds have made it bigger. One historical account states that the British rulers became jew-stooges when Cromwell brought the jews back to Britain. Hence, Britain & its bankster empire, including the USA, have been slaves to a kosher crime syndicate for centuries. Whenever Goyim demand a bigger cut of the proceeds, the Zionist Occupation Government, or ZOG, sends us off to war, & brings in our immigrant replacements, just as it does now. Since we never seem to catch on, P.T. Barnum’s maxim is confirmed, that “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

Perhaps one of the greatest Maxims ever invented was Maxim’s gun. When Whites were the stooges of jew-bankster imperialism, they used to say: “Whatever happens, we have got the Maxim gun & they have not.” With that, White turned the machineguns on themselves & died in the genocide of World War I. When that worked out so well for the jew-banksters, they arranged to have World War II. Such a deal!

Apparently, Whitey has abdicated from his position of Head Jew Stooge. Maybe he has begun to catch on that he is in a no-win situation. It seems he is too tired, right now, to fight the talmudic tyrants, even too tired to defend himself & his loved ones from the jews’ dark minions. He lacks the strength, seemingly, to cast off the invisible chains of usury which so encumber him, but he is not so tired that he does not send his sons & daughters off to jew harvests, i.e. wars. If Whitey became, somehow, energized, would he leap up to serve the jews with greater strength & enthusiasm? Probably. There is a prize-fighter maxim that “You never learn anything until you get tired.” Let’s hope that applies to Our Race. Or, is Whitey tired unto death? Stay tuned.

The advent of Africanized America was something I witnessed after 1945, chiefly with the predominance of Afro-jewish ‘music.’ AM radio graduated from “Death & Transfiguration” to “Cement Mixer, Puttee, Puttee.” But the Black is no longer THE non-White monopolist of special rights, for the faster, smarter hispano-mestizos are gaining on him, massively. In Brownest Yakima, White Christians are bemused as to which racial group they will pander to. They can’t pander to both groups; not in the same building, nor neighborhood (barrio), for neither get along. It is, of course, out of the question that Whites would ever think of helping Whites. Well, you’re deemed racist if you do & racist if you don’t. Whitey seems to like being in no-win situations, masochism instilled by Christinsanity, no doubt, otherwise we wouldn’t be such ‘good’ jew slaves.

It is said that strength without wisdom leads to disaster. The Japanese Way of the Willow or jiu jitsu uses one’s opponent’s strength against him. If an opponent rushes at you, with all his weight & strength, you apply your leverage so that he crashes into a wall, with all his weight & strength. The jewish version is more lucrative, since jew-jitsu uses the Goy’s strengths to make the jew’s power & profits ever greater. Usually, the Goy does not even know the jew exists: ”Do not ask for whom the Goy toils; he toils for Hymie.”

As Hitler said, “The jew toils to create his paradise, from which even he must flee.” Israel alias Zionist Occupied Palestine is the jew’s latest ‘paradise,’ which most jews avoid to the best of their abilities. Rabbi Berger said that “A Zionist is a jew who collects money from a second jew to send a third jew to Israel, but nobody wants to be that third jew.” As Benjamin Franklin predicted, jews would not want to go to Israel, “For vampires do not live off vampires.” Hitler warned that it is in the jew’s nature to kill his host, for the jew parasite hates his host, off whom the jew must live. The jew cannot escape his doom, for he carries it within him, in his nature, but surely the host can wake up & defend himself from the jew, so life can go on. If not, there will be nothing more to say, for there will be no one to say it. That will truly be “the end of history,” as was said of The Cold War (hoax), & the earth will spin in the cosmos, devoid of life, as Hitler predicted, if the jew is not stopped, by us. Strength through Joy to you. DOWZ! ORION!

Hail Tom! Many thanks for your thoughtful letter of 8-8-08. I notice that your zoggies show you lots of respect by naming the road to your residence after you. Ho Chi Minh was a ‘guest’ of the French in Indochina. He marvelled at his treatment, & in his Asian humor, slyly poked fun at his French colonial prison officials. He’d committed some sort of crime, so their idea of punishment was to put him into a fortified palace where he was fed & housed, & attended by smartly-uniformed servants, who guarded him day & night. He was both amazed & impressed by White men’s idea of punishment. This indicates the inequality of mankind, in which one race’s punishment is another race’s paradise. When I was in Japan, my host showed me a Japanese prison. He said that the Japanese had taken the prison idea from the “round-eyed, monkey-faced, long-nose devils.” Before that, the traditional Japanese way to treat an alleged offender was to kill him on the spot. No expensive trials, nor prison upkeep were required in traditional Japanese society. I also learned that their culture had a strict inner code of obligation to one’s family & to one’s ancestors: ON, pronounced “own.” If one were to borrow money, for example, he would tell the lender, “If I do not repay this debt before the New Year, everyone will have the right to laugh at me.” To be laughed at was the fate worse than death. If the borrower could not repay the debt by the deadline, his one recourse was to commit suicide. Then, no one would have the right to laugh at him. With the importation of Western Decadence, I suspect that this feudal code may have eroded somewhat. I wonder what the ancestors think. Funny thing is, I don’t mind being laughed at, but I would mind being confined in a box, even if that box provided me with food, clothing, shelter & smartly-uniformed servants. In oriental logic, one may ask, “Who is prisoner of whom?” since the guards must watch you 24-7, & not vice versa. Poor zoggies. Just show them some respect & try not to hurt their feelings. Ha! Oh, the Japanese prisons are more accurately “Houses of Pain,” for the prisoners are normally subjected to bastinado therapy, in which the prisoner is routinely beaten on the soles of his bare feet with bamboo switches, so he must crawl back to his cell on his hands & knees. African prisons normally include so many lashes or cuts of the cane on prisoners’ bare backs + hard labor, as part of the prisoners’ sentences. They also include executions by hanging, if one is lucky enough to avoid death by sledgehammer or machete. Welcome to the multi-cultural experience.

Many years before I read of our jewish debt-slavery, I recalled hearing Nikita Khrushchev making a brief comment about the sheeple of the USA: “You think you are free.” Well, sure we were free to consume in abundance, until we popped; unlike the cold, hungry inmates of the Soviet Jewnion. Nikita was correct, because we were slaves, but happy ones, since slaves with full bellies & lots of toys have their limited needs satisfied. Who wants freedom from that? Being slaves, however, we have no choice if we are to enjoy fat times or lean ones, for we exist at the pleasure of our masters, & our sole reason for existence is to satisfy their wishes for more power & profit, from the fruits of our labor.

So why do most sheeple accept their role as slaves to Zionist masters, nay, even beg for it? Because they are indeed sheeple, whose aspirations rise only to the level of consumerism. During the Korean War, er, Police Action, the Chinese noted that fewer than one out of 20 U.S. P.O.W.s showed any leadership ability, that is, initiative & self-determination. Since the Chinese guards spoke no English, they were instructed to watch for: The man to whom other men listened; the man with a sense of humor, & the man with courage in the face of armed enemies. Those men were segregated from the sheeple & placed in well-guarded prison camps, possibly in total isolation. The sheeple were encouraged to fink on one another for small rewards. This prevented them from ever establishing self-governing bodies to look after the prisoners’ needs. One third of the U.S. P.O.W.s died because no one would tell them to get out of bed, nor eat. They just slept their lives away. The Chinese experience with Turkish P.O.W.s was entirely different, for they did not submit to divide & rule tactics. Turks insisted on their military hierarchy. When the Chinese shot their sergeant, the corporal took over; if he were shot, the senior private was in charge, so the Chinese gave up on their social experiment, which was successful with the U.S. P.O.W.s. Truly, the Chinese had our number as hedonistic anarchists & as sheeple.

As slaves, we meekly accept what we are to believe from the jewsmedia. We even accept our “White Guilt” & the desirability of our extinction, to make way for Mongrel Man. This message is broadcast by the churches & the other media of information, edjewcation & entertainment. Because we are deemed guilty, merely for existing, by ZOG, it is ‘logical’ that we are alleged to commit so many ‘hate-crimes.’

ZOG alias our Judeo-Bankster dictatorship, seems to have succeeded in getting us to devalue our heroes, ourselves & our race, just as Christinsanity succeeds in getting us to deem ourselves ‘sheep’ & ‘sinners.’ As you say, ZOG’s needs are quite simple: To enslave us with debt, & to make more profits by means of war & threat of war, thereby increasing their power over us. In effect, the jews are as strong as we care to make them. The fact is that the sheeple alias Goyim don’t care for anything beyond their individual consumption, like the slaves they are.

Jefferson strikes me as a wordy hypocrite who never sacrificed his standard of living on behalf of his stated principles, whatever they happened to be at any given time. After touting the ’equality of mankind’ in The Declaration of Independence, he went on to declare with equal fervor that “The equal treatment of unequals is the worst of inequalities.” So, from whence came these “unequals?” His edited statement on his memorial, that the (Black) slaves shall be free, omits the words to the effect that “they shall no longer live with us.” But Jefferson wanted his slaves, Black & White, to stick around as long as he needed them. Thanks for conveying his words about our “natural aristocracy.” In defense of Jefferson, I understand that he distilled his own corn whiskey, so he was not entirely responsible for his words. (Hic) This brings to mind the peculiar wording of the 2nd Amendment, which seems to be the product of drunken lawyers, in view of the jewdicial controversy it causes.

Thanks for recommending “The Death of the West,” by Pat Buchanan. Apparently, he is deemed “too extreme” by the jewsmedia, even when he did not entitle his book “The Death of the Whites,” for, without Whites, the term “West” is meaningless.

In Orwell’s “1984,” words are used by Big Brother’s regime to mean their opposites or distortions thereof: “War is Peace,” “Freedom is Slavery,” “Ignorance is Strength,” &c. Our ZOG made much of our alleged freedom at the end of World War II & the beginning of the phony Cold War period. Yes, we slaves of FEDZOGUSA were ‘free.’ As a dumb kid, I thought that ‘free’ really meant free, & not constrained. If I were free, why did I have to attend public school, which was not a place of freedom, by any means, but a place of oppressive indoctrination & misinformation? I knew it then, as I know it now. Still, I behaved as if I were free, by questioning ZOG’s misuse of language. Why say ‘free’ when it isn’t so? To me, words were important, & I wanted to learn their meanings, so as to use them correctly. Correct usage allowed me to sort out my own thinking. Orwell wrote that Big Brother wanted his ‘proles’ not to think coherently, so they’d be better slaves. ZOG knows!

I was not a revolutionary, at first, for I only wanted to obtain an accurate picture of reality, so I could govern my behavior accordingly. I wanted to achieve MY purposes in the realm of the possible, & my purposes were not those of ZOG consumer-debt-slavery. My parents taught me by their examples, even as they tried to incorporate me into Judeo-American Slave Society. My purpose was not to rebel, but to escape. Ironically, I succeeded, thanks be to ZOG.

In my experience, I’ve encountered would-be leaders who were unworthy of their quest. One correspondent assisted me in defining leadership. It is a Chinese saying: “There is the leader who coerces & the leader who inspires; but the best leader of all is the one who teaches, for his followers can say: ‘See, we did it ourselves!’” That is the leader I aspire to be, as well as one who learns.

The words you want are: Sieg = Victory; heil = hail. Weisse Macht = White Power. High German (Prussian) is grammatically complicated. I call it a Slavic language with German words. Hence, Macht is feminine, so weiss must be modified for its feminine noun. With gender, German also has cases, such as possessive, transitive, &c. which have only vestiges in the Germanic language of English. German still has familiar conjugations which conform to the English “thou,” or Du in German. If I’m in place, I can say, “Ich bin im Kino,” (I’m at the movie theater), but if I’m on my way in, I say: “Ich gehe ins Kino.” (I’m going into the movie theater). In old English usage, we’d ask “Whither goest thou?” if you are going somewhere. “Where are you?” would apply when you’d arrived. In Black English, it would be “Wheah yo be at?”

A saying worthy of recall is one my friend Col. Rudel was fond of: “He only loses if he, himself, gives up.” Rudel sank the Soviet battleship, Marat, in the Baltic, with one bomb down its smokestack, courtesy of Col. Rudel in his Stuka divebomber. Strength through Joy to you. Our Race Is Our Nation! (ORION!)

22 Jewlie 08

Hail Tom! Many thanks for your thoughtful letter of 18 Jewlie 08. Welcome to the club. Our ZOG is the only dictatorship, to my knowledge, which actively encourages its slaves to engage in punishable activities, which it claims as non-punishable ones. More honest dictatorships which I’ve experienced, such as the “German Democratic Republic” & Fascist Spain under the jew, Franco, warned people/sheeple NOT to do certain things, for which they could be punished. It’s like telling drivers of a speed limit, instead of inviting them to drive as fast as they can, & then punishing them “for exceeding the speed limit.”

Fortunately, there is a group which specializes in ZOG’s violations of the First Amendment Freedom of Religion. It is called Liberty Rights Advocates, P.O. Box 713, Johnstown, OH 43031. I shall forward your letter to them, & you may contact them yourself. I’m sure they’d like to hear from you, ZOG willing.

The Holohoax Racket exists because we have no sovereignty. We do not govern ourselves, since we gave jews the power to create & control our money supply. Meyer Amschel (Rothschild) was right when he said: “Give me the power to issue money & I care not who makes the laws.” Control of money gives control of governments, as well as all the media of information, education & entertainment. The American Revolution was betrayed by the Founding Felons who were jew-paid Freemasons. We lost our right to self-government for the third time in 1913 with the passage of The Federal Reserve Act & The Income Tax Act. This handing over of power to the jews led directly to World War I, another “jewish harvest,’ in the words of economist Werner Sombart. Jew bankster interests had already profitted from the Napoleonic Wars & the U.S. Civil War, so they saw war as a great racket. Marine Corps General Smedley Butler defined a racket as any enterprise which benefits the few at the cost of the many. War is indeed a racket, & the banksters love it, for whoever ‘wins’ is in debt to them. The plain fact is that we are jew debt-slaves. Slaves don’t govern themselves, so why should we?

Family names are easily researched on the Internet. I’m not on the ‘net, myself so I rely on others to inform me. One sent me a download listing my enslaved relatives, fellow Thomsons who “came out second” in a civil war in Britain, so they were shackled up & shipped out to North America in the 1600s. Conley seems Irish to me.

What we get in ‘our’ schools is edjewcation, not education. You were wise in rejecting your zoggies’ scheme to drug you & dumb you down with “talmudvision.” Congratulations! I can certainly sympathize with you in your present circumstances, & I can say that I’ve never been so confined nor restricted as you are, at present. I therefore suggest that you educate yourself & pass your knowledge onto others. World history & philosophy are good for starters, for they enable you to see relationships from different perspectives & compare the past with the present, so as to predict the future, to some extent.

Your letter was anything but boring, for you reveal vigorous & keen mind, which will stay sharp as long as you use it.

Columbus did not know he’d discovered America, for he believed he’d arrived in India, hence his mistake in naming the natives as ‘Indians.” I understand that other Europeans arrived in the Americas before Columbus. There are archeological signs of thriving trade between Mediterranean countries, including Egypt, & the Western Hemisphere. I read that a mummy had traces of tobacco & cocaine therein. Those substances come from New World regions, as did the potato & maize (corn), as well as the tomato. Apparently, copper was mined & shipped from the Minnesota area to ancient Europe for centuries, so Columbus was hardly the discoverer. There is also evidence of Viking settlements on the east coast of North America, long before Columbus. This is not to negate his courage & skill at navigation, but just to note that he wasn’t the first European to come to the Americas, as they were named after the Italian map-maker, Amerigo Vespucci. I understand that a Chinese expedition landed on America’s NW coast, prior to Columbus, & we must not ignore the fact that the Amerasians or so-called “Indians” came to America via a land bridge over the Bering Strait, as well as by boat in very ancient times. Come one, come all, as they say.

Trade is very ancient, & it survives when civilizations fall into ruins, as archeologists have discovered up & down the Silk Route & elsewhere. I visited The Zimbabwe Ruins in former Rhodesia, Central Africa. They were a fortified trading post, allegedly for the gathering of gold, slaves & ivory for hauling to the Indian Ocean ports & subsequent shipping to Egypt & The Middle East. Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) was the legendary location of ‘King Solomon’s Mines,” for there were ancient gold workings there. Strength through Joy. ORION!
