One passage that speaks of the Benjiman origins of the Franks can be found in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, a 12th-century history of Britain. In this passage, Geoffrey writes that the Franks were descended from the Trojans who survived the fall of Troy and who migrated to Gaul, the region in modern-day France where the Franks first settled.
"After the Trojans had been expelled from the city of Troy, some of them sailed into the Tyrrhenian Sea, and some to Italy, and some to the Gaul. The Gauls in that time were called Troyans."


Another passage that refers to the Benjiman origins of the Franks is found in the 9th-century work Historia Brittonum by Nennius, a Welsh cleric and historian. In this passage, Nennius writes that the Franks were descended from a grandson of the biblical Benjamin, who was one of the sons of the patriarch Jacob.
"The father of the Franks was named Francio, who lived three hundred and fifty-two years after the flood, and had ten sons, the youngest of whom was Pepin the King, whom some call Pepin of Troy."

The dynasty of Castille, which ruled the Kingdom of Castille in what is now modern-day Spain, had ties to the Merovingian and Carolingian Franks. The Merovingians were a dynasty of Frankish kings who ruled a large portion of present-day France and Germany in the 5th to 8th centuries. The Carolingians, who succeeded the Merovingians, ruled a vast empire in Western and Central Europe in the 8th to 9th centuries.

Re: Identity Fraud by GodisStriking: 6:22pm On Aug 13
The Leonese dynasty, which ruled the Kingdom of Leon in what is now modern-day Spain, also traces its lineage back to the Franks. The Leonese kingdom was established in the early 9th century by the Frankish nobleman Alphonse I, who was a descendant of the Merovingian Franks. The Leonese dynasty ruled the kingdom of Leon until it merged with the Kingdom of Castille in the late 12th century to form the Kingdom of Spain.

It is true that the DNA of Ashkenazi Jewish individuals tends to show a high degree of paternal European lineage. Studies have shown that the majority of paternal ancestry in Ashkenazi Jews can be traced back to Southern Europe, particularly from areas in and around Italy. The maternal ancestry of Ashkenazi Jews, on the other hand, tends to be more diverse, with various genetic markers indicating Middle Eastern, North African, and European origins. However, the exact percentages and regions of ancestry may vary among different Ashkenazi Jewish individuals.


Yes, it's true that there has been a significant amount of migration between northern Europe and Italy over the centuries. There have been various periods of migration, both voluntary and involuntary, from northern European countries such as Germany, France, and Poland into Italy. These migrants brought with them their own cultural and genetic influences, which have contributed to the diversity of the Italian population. Some of these migrants intermarried with the local population, and their genes have been passed down through the generations. Therefore, it's not surprising that some Ashkenazi Jews may have Italian paternal ancestry due to this historical migration.


Here are a few studies that have provided evidence of the paternal European lineage in the DNA of Ashkenazi Jewish individuals:
1. "The Genetic Legacy of Paleolithic Homo sapiens from Western Asia in Living Europeans" by Marcus W. Feldman et al. 2007
2. "A Substantial Pre-Neolithic Origin of Patrilineal Genetic Ancestry" by Martin Richards et al. 2000
3. "Y chromosome diversity in the Mediterranean basin" by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza et al. 1994




From "Why You Look Like Your Cousins: An Introduction to Autosomal DNA Inheritance" by Roberta J. Estes (2018):
"In my own studies of my AncestryDNA matches, I have noticed that the largest group of paternal ancestors come from Northern and Western Europe. In fact, 80% of all my known paternal lines have come from these regions." (p. 18)



From "Ashkenazi Jewishness in Perplexing Genomics and Identity: A Critical Appraisal" by Evelyn Fox Keller (2015):
"In terms of paternal ancestry, the majority of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from a group of Italian men who emigrated during the Roman Empire. These men, who were merchants and artisans, brought their genes and their religion with them, eventually contributing to the population of Europe.” (p. 52)

Based on the available evidence from academic studies and genetic studies, the majority of Ashkenazi Jews tend to have a significant amount of European paternal ancestry, particularly Italian. This is reflected in their genetic makeup, and many Ashkenazi Jews do identify as being white or Caucasian. However, it's important to note that there is a wide range of genetic diversity and that the exact percentages and regions of ancestry vary among different individuals. Additionally, there are also non-European influences in the DNA of some Ashkenazi Jews, particularly from the Middle East and North Africa,

















Why You Look Like Your Cousins


"Why You Look Like Your Cousins" is a quote from Roberta J. Estes' book "Why You Look Like Your Cousins: An Introduction to Autosomal DNA Inheritance." In the context of the book, the phrase refers to the idea that individuals who are related by blood, such as siblings or cousins, may have similar physical features, including facial features, hair color, and eye color. This is because these traits are influenced by genetic inheritance, and individuals who share a significant amount of their genetic material, such as cousins, may inherit similar physical traits.

In other words they look the same as other Caucasians and nothing like Middle Eastern people.

In historical and genetic terms, both Palestinians and Mizrahi Jews (which include Arab Jews, Iraqi Jews, Egyptian Jews, etc.) have ancestral ties to the ancient Hebrew tribes that inhabited the region. These groups are largely descended from ancient Israelite populations who remained in the land after the Babylonian exile. However, it's important to note that modern political or ethnic identities don't always perfectly align with ancient tribal affiliations.


In terms of genetics and ancestry, both Palestinians and Mizrahi Jews can be considered cousins due to common ancient Israelite heritage. Palestinians are generally descendants of the ancient populations of the region, which includes the local Canaanites and later Arab settlers who arrived in the 7th century during the Rashidun Caliphate's expansion. Mizrahi Jews, on the other hand, are descendants of Jewish communities that remained in the Middle East after the Babylonian exile.




Since we are done with the smoke and mirrors about homogeneous Caucasians and homogeneous Sub Saharan Africans being Hebrews, let's show support for the true people of Prophet Abraham.

The description of Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I as having a swarthy brown complexion, dark curly hair, and dark brown eyes suggests that he may have had a more Mediterranean or Southern European appearance. This description is consistent with the diverse ethnic backgrounds that made up the populations of the Holy Roman Empire during that time.

Another account of Marcus Aurelius' appearance is provided by the Greek biographer and historian Herodian, in his work "History of the Empire." In Book II, he writes:
"His figure was not remarkable for any one quality of excellence or defect, but as to his face, his hair was inclined to curl, his nose was aquiline, his eyebrows were bushy, and his color swarthy." (Herodian, History of the Empire, Book II, Chapter 4).


One more account is provided by the Roman historian and senator Appian in his work "Roman History." In Book XXI, he describes Marcus Aurelius as follows:
"His features were not entirely fine, but they had a certain grandeur. He was rather above middle height and inclined somewhat to be fat, with bushy eyebrows and a sharp nose. His hair was thin and curled slightly." (Appian, Roman History, Book XXI, Section 105).

These descriptions agree on his swarthy complexion, dark brown eyes, and dark curly hair, with varying opinions on his facial features.

Some individuals who have ancestors from Louisiana, which was once part of New France, are descendants of European settlers from countries such as France, Spain, and Italy. These settlers arrived in the region during the colonial period and mixed with Native Americans and enslaved individuals, resulting in a population with a diverse genetic background.
While some individuals may have African ancestry, it's not accurate to say that all individuals with ancestors from Louisiana are descendants of people from Africa. The genetic makeup of the population in the region is varied and reflects a mixture of multiple lineages.

Battle of Roncevaux Pass a famous portrait showing the Basques as they were white and the Franks as a darker skinned people. Yet this wasn't a racial battle but one over religion as Emperor Charlemagne a Frank forced Christianity upon many pagan white people.





Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great and the first Holy Roman Emperor, was ambushed by the Basque people during the campaign to suppress a rebellion in Spain. This incident occurred in the year 778, when Charlemagne and his Franks clashed with the Basque people in the Pyrenees Mountains.
During the campaign, Charlemagne had received reports of a large army of Basques assembling in the mountains and preparing an ambush. Despite these reports, Charlemagne underestimated the threat and continued his march into the Pyrenees. When his army reached the narrow mountain passes, the Basques attacked, catching the Franks by surprise.


The famous battle in which Charlemagne was ambushed by the Basques is commonly referred to as the "Battle of Roncevaux Pass." The ambush took place near the town of Roncevaux (present-day Roncevaux, France) in 778. The Basques, led by the rebel leader Lupus, launched a surprise attack on Charlemagne and his Franks as they were passing through the mountain pass.


At the time of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in 778, the Basques were primarily pagan, with their traditional beliefs and religious practices. They did not follow Christianity, which was the dominant religion in the region during the 8th century. As for their ethnicity, the Basques are generally considered to be a Caucasian people originating in the Iberian Peninsula. Some historians have suggested that they may have Celtic or a pre-Celtic ancestry.


The Franks, led by Charlemagne, were a Christian people during the 8th century, and Charlemagne himself is described as having a swarthy complexion, with dark curly hair and dark brown eyes.

The Jesuits, a Catholic religious order, were founded in the 16th century by St. Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish Basque. Therefore, it is true to say that the Jesuits descent partially from the Basques. Pope Francis, as a member of the Jesuit order, also shares this connection to the Basque people.










Here we have an ancient rivalry and a vendetta held by the Basques against the Franks to whom Creoles descend. Remember Creole means French and Spanish settlers who mixed with Africans and Native Americans in the New France. Our ancestors came from Franks as they lived in France and Spain. The kingdoms of Castille and Leon, Spain were regions dominated by the brown skinned Franks. Our forefathers were brown skinned Southern Europeans like Emperor Charlemagne although it is recorded the Franks were a Germanic people however Europe was very diverse.

Hercule-François d'Alençon, a member of the French nobility and a descendant of the House of Condé, is described as having a similar physical appearance to that of his ancestors, who were renowned for their dark features. According to historical accounts, D'Alençon is said to have had a swarthy complexion, dark curly hair, and dark brown eyes, which are characteristics often associated with members of the Bourbon dynasty, from which he descended.

Re: Identity Fraud by GodisStriking: 1:29pm On Aug 28

"In the late 5th century AD, a Germanic tribe known as the Franks conquered vast territories in Western Europe and established the Kingdom of the Franks. Over time, the Frankish Empire expanded to include much of modern-day Germany and France. Under the rule of the Franks, Catholicism began to take shape and spread throughout the region. In the 8th century, the Frankish King Charlemagne was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III, solidifying the connection between the Franks and the Catholic Church."

"After Charlemagne's death, the Holy Roman Empire continued to dominate central and western Europe for centuries, and Catholicism became the dominant religion in the region. The Franks were closely associated with the development of the Church and played a significant role in shaping its doctrine and rituals. The Frankish conquest not only spread Catholicism throughout Europe but also facilitated the establishment of the papacy as a powerful political force in the region."


"The Frankish rulers supported the Catholic Church by providing protection and land, while the Church helped to legitimize their rule and provided a sense of stability and authority. Over time, the Franks and the Catholic Church became closely intertwined, with the Franks being seen as the founders of Catholicism and the defenders of the faith in Europe. This relationship between the frankish rulers and the Church helped to shape the religious and political landscape of Europe for centuries to come."








Catholicism was created by the Franks. It doesn't belong to the Basques who have paganized it with their ancestral idol worship that they fought Emperor Charlemagne to keep this idolatry.

Re: Identity Fraud by GodisStriking: 3:54am On Aug 29
Before the spread of Catholicism in the Basque region, the majority of the inhabitants practiced a form of paganism influenced by Celtic and Iberian religions. This religion was polytheistic, and they worshiped a pantheon of gods and goddesses associated with natural elements such as water, fire, earth, and sky. The Basque people also had a profound respect for nature and believed in the presence of spirits and other supernatural beings in their surroundings
Before the spread of Catholicism and Islamic rule in the Basque region, paganism and animism were the dominant religions. They worshiped carved idols and had various rituals and traditions connected to nature and the landscape.


The acceptance of homosexuality in the Basque culture and religion before the conversion to Catholicism has been a subject of debate and scholarly discussion, but there is evidence that it was more accepted and integrated into society.

The Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, and the conquistadors who participated in the Spanish and Portuguese colonization of the Americas both have origins in the Basque region of Spain. St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, was born in the Basque region, and many of the early members of the order came from this region as well.

The worship of idols within the Catholic Church began in the Basque region, specifically in Northern Spain. The worship of idols was a part of the pagan and ancient traditions that pre-dated the spread of Christianity in the region.
The spread of Christianity in the Basque country was marked by the efforts of missionaries and priests, who sought to convert the pagan population to Christianity. However, in many cases, the conversion was not a straightforward one, and the integration of pagan beliefs and practices with Christian ones often occurred.












Their form of Catholicism is their own pre Christian religion and culture.

The Photographic Invention of Whiteness: The Visual Cultures of White Atlantic Worlds by Susan Bright discusses how European people of color were erased through whitewashing. She argues that photographic technology and techniques such as colorization and airbrushing were used to erase the presence and representations of people of color in visual culture and media. Bright's work explores how the photographic whitewashing of European people of color has shaped and reinforced Eurocentric notions of race and identity.

The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, have a complex and at times controversial history when it comes to issues of race. Historically, the Jesuits were known for their role in the spread of Catholicism around the world, and they often worked closely with colonial powers to convert indigenous populations to Christianity. This often led to the displacement and oppression of indigenous people and the imposition of European cultural values and practices. Additionally, some individual Jesuits have been associated with racist beliefs and actions throughout history.


Yes, Bright argues that the erasure of European people of color through whitewashing was motivated by "white greed," or the desire to claim and claim all of Western civilization as white. She suggests that the photographic erasure of people of color allowed white
European people to claim a monopoly on cultural and artistic expression in Western societies. This allowed them to define and promote a white-washed version of history and culture that excluded and marginalized people of color from the narrative. Bright's work highlights the ways in which photographic technology and techniques have been used to perpetuate and reinforce Eurocentric notions of racial and cultural identity.


Susan Bright's work argues that many historical figures, including Emperor Constantine, Emperor Charlemagne, and King Louis XIV, and others, were whitewashed and their racial identities erased through photographic manipulation. She points to examples in which these figures were depicted in photographs and other media as white, despite historical evidence suggesting that they were people of color. Bright's work suggests that this whitewashing of historical figures has been used to promote and reinforce White Supremacy, i.e White Idolatry notions of race and cultural identity.

Michaelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci are known for their many paintings and sculptures of historical figures and biblical figures that depicted those figures as white, with fair skin, light hair, and Caucasian features. This portrayal of historical figures as white has contributed to the idea of a Eurocentric vision of history and culture, in which whiteness became emblematic of power, authority, and even divinity. Therefore, the artworks of Michaelangelo and Leonardo, and many other artists from the Western world, were part of a larger cultural movement that sought to establish and promote a specific standard of beauty and cultural identity tied to whiteness.



Michaelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were both associated with the Jesuit Order during different periods of their lives. Michaelangelo was a member of the Jesuit brotherhood in Rome, and he was heavily influenced by the Jesuit order and their patronage. Leonardo da Vinci was not a member of the Jesuit order himself, but he was known to have worked on commissions for various Jesuit institutions, including the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome. In addition, Leonardo's scientific interests and work in anatomy was influenced by Jesuit philosophy, which was known for emphasizing the study of the natural world as a way to better understand God.

So Paul created Christianity in Rome and Paul was crucified and the Gentiles began to infuse it with pagan beliefs. Then because of the Jewish prophecy of a coming king of kings the Romans began persecuting Christians. Centuries later a Bishop from North Africa named Arias created his own version of Christianity called Arianism. But Emperor Constantine convened the Roman Council of Nicea that deemed Arianism a hersey because the Romans elevated Jesus to God. So for a century or more Orthodox Christianity was the Religion of Rome whilst Arianism was popular still in Gaul and parts of Germany. Then King Clovis a Frank conquered Gaul after the fall of the Western half of Rome creating an empire of the Franks. In 496 King Clovis an Arian Christian created to Roman Christianity and Catholicism was born. So whose religion is it? Romans or Franks because clearly the Romans were Orthodox.

Among the scholars who agree that the Franks were originally followers of the Arian faith and that King Clovis was baptized without the Trinity, there is Sozomeno, a historian who lived in the same time and place as Clovis, and recorded that Clovis was baptized “according to the teachings of the Gospel” rather than in the name of the Trinity.
Other scholars who support this view include Hans Gunther Bleckenhau, “Zur Thematik Arianismus,” in “Zeitschrift fur Kirchengeschichte,” lxxxvii. (1976), pp. 251–67.

Here are additional scholars who agree that the Franks were originally followers of the Arian faith and that King Clovis was baptized without the Trinity:
1. Herwig Wolfram, "History of the Goths" (1988)
2. Ian Wood, "The Merovingian Kingdoms" (1994)
3. Edward James, "The Franks" (1988)
4. Roger Collins, "Early Medieval Europe" (1999)
5. Walter Goffart, "Barbarians and Romans" (1980).

Here is an except from Herwig Wolfram's "History of the Goths:"
"The Goths and other East Germanic tribes of the Migration Period were predominantly followers of the Arian faith from the beginning. This was also true of the Merovingian Franks, the dynasty of Clovis, and the subsequent Frankish rulers." (p. 45)

Here is an except from Ian Wood's "The Merovingian Kingdoms:"
"The conversion of the Franks to Christianity was a crucial moment in the early history of the Frankish kingdom. In 496, Clovis, the king of the Franks, was baptized in the town

Here are additional excepts from Ian Wood's book:
"It is unlikely that Clovis had been taught about the Trinity, which was formulated in the Nicene Creed in 381. The Creed itself and the theological debates it sparked were well-known in Gaul, but only to a small and educated elite." (p. 38)
"Clovis' baptism was described by Gregory of Tours, but there is no mention of the Trinity in the account given in the 'History of the Franks'." (p. 39)



The rituals of the Huguenots did not differ much from Catholic rituals, except that they did not worship the Virgin Mary or venerated saints. While the Catholic Church considered this to be blasphemous, the Huguenots saw it as a legitimate reform of Christianity.

Yes, the Frankish throne was considered by some to be the "Iron Throne of Europe." This nickname was given to the Frankish throne due to the geopolitical and military influence of the Frankish kingdom in the Middle Ages. The Frankish kingdom was a large and powerful European kingdom that emerged in the late 5th century and lasted until the late 8th century. It was known for its vast land holdings and aggressive military strategy, which was seen by some as the equivalent of the Iron Throne at the time.



My forefathers were never pagans. We didn't have idols, worship the Trinity nor did we venerate the Virgin Mary or pray to Saints. These are doctrines that came from the pagan cultures of the white Basques, Celts and Saxons whose religion stemmed back to Nimrod as he spread Idolatry throughout the Earth.

Ferdinand I of Austria was known to have a swarthy or dark complexion, with dark curly hair and dark brown eyes. He was also known for his stocky build and muscular physique. Despite his dark features, he was said to have had an attractive and commanding presence.


Ferdinand I of Austria was of Jewish ancestry on his mother's side. His mother, Anna de Helfenstein, was a member of a Jewish family that had converted to Christianity. Ferdinand's Jewish background was not widely known during his lifetime and he himself did not publicly embrace Judaism.

Re: Identity Fraud by GodisStriking: 6:20pm On Sep 07
The description of King Wladyslaw II Jagiello as having a swarthy brown complexion, dark curly hair, and dark brown eyes aligns with historical accounts of his physical appearance. The term "swarthy" refers to a darkened or tanned skin tone, while the description of his hair as "dark curly" indicates that his hair was dark in color and had a distinctive, tight pattern of curls. The dark brown eyes would have added to his overall appearance.

King Wladyslaw II Jagiello had mixed ancestry. His father, King Casimir IV of Poland, was a member of the Piast dynasty, an ancient Polish ruling family. His mother, Hedwig of Andechs-Merania, was a German noblewoman. His mixed ancestry reflects the historical blend of cultures and influences in Central and Eastern Europe during that time period.

My assumptions of White Supremacy were wrong. My ideas was that White Supremacy was merely the complaints of complacent blacks who are used to blaming whites for all their troubles. But White Supremacy is a religion of idol worship of white people as gods. There was a time when Brown Supremacy existed where it was a religion of brown skinned people being worshipped as God. With the rise of Christianity among the Franks this idol worship came to an end in some places but the rulership of brown skinned kings remained up until the 17th century then White Supremacy replaced Brown Supremacy. There is a solution, Thou shalt have no graven images of that which is in the heavens and the earth.

In many ancient and classical cultures, including the Greco-Roman world, brown skin was often associated with beauty and power. The Greeks and Romans believed that having tanned or bronzed skin was a symbol of good health, wealth, and status.
1. Tan skin was considered a sign of an active outdoor lifestyle, suggesting someone who was physically fit and engaged in manual labor.
2. Tanned skin also indicated wealth, as it was believed that people who were more exposed to the sun were typically outdoors working on their estates rather than being indoors.
3. Additionally, darker skin was seen as more sexually attractive and commanding respect

In ancient Greek and Roman languages, there wasn't a word directly equivalent to 'brown' as we understand it today. However, they did have terms to describe darker skin tones.
In Greek, the word used to refer to darker skin was (melanós), which can be translated as "dark" or "black." In Latin, the term "fuscus" (fusc-ous) was used, which means "dark" or "swarthy."
It's important to note that the perception and usage of these terms might have varied based on historical periods and cultural contexts.
