2.  Mixed Ancestry?
From: "Nathan Proud"
Subject: Re: 'Brit-Am Now'-487
Concerning the question about purity of blood for Israelites, King
David wasn't pure-blooded: his great-grandmother Ruth was a Moabitess; Rahab
the harlot (Amoritess or Canaanitess) was his great-great grandmother
(mother of Boaz).  And then there's King Solomon, whose mother was Bathsheba.  
I don't know if the Scriptures are explicit about her lineage, but her
husband was a Hittite.  Was she?  I don't know if I'm confirming
anything here, but I wanted to bring these facts to light.

3. How Was Stone Henge Constructured?

For more than 20 years, Derbyshire carpenter Gordon Pipes has been
striving to find an answer to a 4,000-year-old question that still
confounds archaeologists; namely:

How, without roads or wheels, did Neolithic man transport 80 sarsen
stones, each weighing an average of 30 tons, 20 miles from the
Marlborough Downs to Salisbury Plain to construct Stonehenge? The site
also comprises 98 blue stones, each weighing six tons, from the
Preseli Mountains in Wales.

The question of how these were conveyed over land - it is agreed
they must have been ferried in boats along the Severn Estuary and
River Avon - is also unanswered. But Pipes is convinced he has found
the solution.

"In terms of Stonehenge, theories that one stone could have been
dragged a mile a day by 700 men using rope and wooden rollers seemed
as viable to me as alien involvement. The rollers wouldn't have taken
the weight and the physical effort required would have been
super-human," he explains. "It occurred to me that a megalith could be
picked up, moved a short distance, put down and moved again.

Further research suggested this would be quicker, require less
manpower and negate the need for muscle power. Also, the initial
inertia the body experiences when attempting to drag large stones, is
all but nullified."

Called stone rowing, the procedure involves laying down a number of
logs - the number determined by the weight of the stone - in a
parallel formation. Resting on supports, the logs are positioned just
above the ground. Some are then used to support the stone, while the
rest act as a continuous fulcrum for wooden oars, or levers, inserted
underneath the stone. By pressing down on the levers, the stone rises
two inches clear of the support logs, and when the levers are moved
sideways, the stone moves forward.

Pipes tested his theory in his garden. "Four of us carried out
this experiment using a four-ton concrete block, four logs and four
levers," he explains. "We were able to move the block between six and
12 inches at a time with ease. I then set up a ramp and discovered
that the method also worked uphill when using more levers and
incorporating a break mechanism."

Mike Pitts, editor of British Archaeology, suggested that, "Few
archaeologists ever consider practical issues like moving stones.
Gordon's ideas fascinate because they come from an understanding of
lifting and moving things, rather than from theories dreamt up at a
desk. And while he doesn't underestimate the difficulties facing the
Stonehenge builders, neither does he come up with impossibly
complicated solutions. It's the first time that someone has come up
with anything really sensible for a long time."

Pipes is planning further experiments on Salisbury Plain next
summer, including an attempt to move a 40-ton block.

4. Dan Hotaling:  John Bull and Bull Run

  Funny thing how a name brings things to mind and memory .While
reading
the account about Ephraim and Mannasseh  and the American war of
northern
aggression ( as a southerner once told me  there  is nothing civil
about a
war. ) I realized the name Bull run being associated with the battle of
Manassas. Mannassah and Ephraim  are associated with the constellation
of
Taurus in the Mazzaroth ,also indicative is the  Hebrew word reem or
rheem  associated with a  wild ox  now extinct . I believe the romans
hunted the last of them to extinction . Bull also being associated with
the
British  "John Bull"

   The scriptures which come to mind is  Duet.33 vs. 17 R.V. "The
firstling
of his bullock(marg.his firstling bullock)- majesty is his ,
   And his horns are the horns  of the wild ox (reem).
   With  them he shall push( gore) the peoples ,all of them ,even the
ends
of the earth.
And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim  and the thousands of  
Mannassah.
                                                                just a
thought     Dan Hotaling

This is an interesting idea and in one form or other has been suggested
in
the past by others.
It may be partly true but only  to a marginal degree.
It does not  fit  the scriptural and historical requirements.
The Bible says that the Lost Ten Tribes would be "lost" until the End
Times
(Genesis 49:8, Isaiah 11:12 28:3  49:21 Hosea 1:7 etc) and become great
nations
that would dominate the world and numerous other requirements that only
groups identified by Brit-Am (and those who think like us)
fulfill.
Historically most  "Ashknenazi"  (European) Jews may be traced to the
Dispersion caused by the Roman Empire.
Even DNA studies (for what they are worth, and in a limited context
they
may be worth a lot) bear this out.
Some Ashkenazic (and even Sephardic) Jews may be descended from the
Khazars
and in this case your theory
could be correct since the Khazars were also an offshoot from the Lost
Ten
Tribes.  Even so we are speaking of a marginal phenomenon
that may be very important in its own right but not in a general sense.

6. DID YOU KNOW THAT:
According to the Bible ten out of the twelve tribes of Israel split
away(1-Kings 12:19), formed their own kingdom of "Israel" 1-Kings
12:20)
and were exiled by the Assyrians (2-Kings 17:18) . They forget their
identity (Hosea 1:9 7:8 Isaiah 49:21) and became the Lost Ten Tribes.
In
the future they will re-unite with the Jews (Ezekiel 37, Isaiah 11:13
Jeremiah 3:18) of "Judah" but until then they have a role of their own
to
fulfill. They were destined to be situated at the continental
extremities
of the earth such as North America, the British Isles, Scandinavia, the
Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa )Deuteronomy
33:13
Isaiah 24:16 26:15 41:8-9 49:6), to be the richest) Genesis 27:28 49:25
Deuteronomy 33:13-16 Hosea 2:8), and most powerful (Numbers 24:8-7
Micah
5:7-9) nations on earth and to control major international strategic
bases
(Genesis 22:16-17 24:60). All of these points together with numerous
others
show that descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes can only be found amongst
Western Nations especially the English-speaking ones. The correctness
of
our interpretation of the relevant verses is confirmed by traditional
Jewish sources and by the findings of up-to-date historical and
scientific
research. Your destiny may depend upon this information. You need to
know.
