"There might be billions of lost tribes out there by now. Because 28,000 were dispersed by Sennacherib and Shalmaneser, kings of Assyria. Through natural increase, this could be half the world today," says Dr Shalva Weil, an anthropologist, explaining the large numbers of people worldwide who could claim lineage to the 10 lost tribes of ancient Israel.
"Initially I didn't believe the whole lost tribe bit," says Michael Freund, chairman of Shavei Israel. "But I was very taken by them on a personal level, on a human level, by their sincerity, by their desire to become part of the Jewish people. So I thought we should help them. So I became involved, through the bureaucracy then, in arranging for groups to start coming in an organized fashion."
Michael says he is now convinced that the Bnei Menashe are Jews who were sent into exile 2,700 years ago. 'I think we have a historical responsibility, a moral responsibility, to reach out to them and to facilitate their return." Read the FULL STORY.
My comments: Even anthropologists get their facts wrong occasionally. Sennacherib alone removed 200,000... and those were from Jew-dah (see the Taylor Prism). Shalmaneser V and/or Sargon II is the one who deported 27,920 from the capital of the Northern Kingdom (Samaria) about 20 years before Sennacherib laid siege to Jerusalem. There were definitely more... and there could have been hundreds of thousands more that were deported when the deportations first started (between 740-721 BC)... but we have archaelogical evidence that at least 227,920 were deported. So Dr. Weil needs to consider the "natural increase" off of a starting number much larger than just 28,000. By the way, I realize Dr. Weil may have been speaking tongue-in-cheek or off-the-cuff. My intent isn't to insult her intelligence. I'm simply reacting to the "can't see the forest for the trees" paradigm that pervades most every specialized field of science. - Hanok

Thoughts on the influence of Luther and Darwin on Hitler’s worldview
“If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words 'I baptize thee in the name of Abraham'” - Martin Luther
"Since Martin Luther closed his eyes, no such son of our people has appeared again. It has been decided that we shall be the first to witness his reappearance ... I think the time is past when one may not say the names of Hitler and Luther in the same breath. They belong together; they are of the same old stamp" - Hitler's Education Minister, Bernhard Rust
"The connection between Hitler and Darwinism is of course historically a difficult connection because they were separated by a good many years. One was English. One was German. None the less, if you open Mein Kampf and read it, especially if you can read it in German, the correspondence between Darwinian ideas and Nazi ideas just leaps from the page. Of course you have to add every Historical caution. Not everyone who read Darwin became a Nazi. Obviously not... no one is making that case. Darwinisms is not a sufficient condition for a phenomenon like Nazism, but I think it is certainly a necessary one." - David Berlinski in EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed
Luther and Darwin are probably the most notable contributors to Hitler's worldview... in my opinion (but of course there were others). Indeed many synergistic variables were brewing in the German population for hundreds of years before Hitler... and they all contributed to the Christian-apathy and justification for what Hitler did right under their noses when times became difficult.
I think many of us are aware (or should be aware) that dozens of attempts were made (by Germans) to overthrow the Nazi regime. That is a fact that does NOT negate the reality that thousands of German "Christian" soldiers and civilians looked-on and helped with the round up of Jews for deportation and dehumanization.
Note: I'm not Jewish (in the Jew-dah sense) and I have many German ancestors. Also understand that I believe the non-Jewish population of Germany was/is of the stock of Ephraim (i.e., Israelites).
A man like Hitler does NOT come to power in a vacuum... especially not within a highly-advanced and highly-civil nation like Germany.
But of course... NOT all German "Lutherans" were anti-Jew... and in the same way... NOT all German Darwinian scientists wanted to unnaturally select-away the Jews from the German population. However, many of Hitler's scientists imbibed the idea that Jews were less evolved and dangerous to the German and European population... and this was a major justification for their violent removal. Note: Assuming Darwin did not have an impact on Germany and Hitler simply because Darwin spoke English ... is delusional. The unification of Darwinism with the later rhetoric of Luther... was a recipe of great opportunity for the Nazis.
The following link may be more helpful in the Luther-Hitler connections in particular (not all agree with the connections of course): The use of Martin Luther by the Nazis
I've spent many hours watching WWII and Holocaust documentaries... and I'm always pondering why and how... how could such an atrocity have happened to the Jews and to Germany? ...and usually... I wonder... how could the Father have allowed such heinous suffering to transpire as long as it did... including the atrocities in Russia, China, Cambodia, etc... where millions upon millions of young and old were murdered?
These are difficult questions... and I'm certainly not one to only ask questions that I think I can answer... nor do I assume that I have the capacity to understand the Ways and Reasons of the Creator of the Universe... however... it doesn't mean I'm afraid to ask out of fear that my Faith will be hurt.... for I do believe the Father has been merciful and suffers us (and suffers with us) more than most of us know.

VIDEO: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (Full Documentary)
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a 2008 independent documentary film, directed by Nathan Frankowski and hosted by Ben Stein. The film contends that the mainstream science establishment suppresses academics who believe they see evidence of intelligent design in nature and who criticize evidence supporting evolution and the modern evolutionary synthesis as a mainstream conspiracy to keep God out of science laboratories and classrooms. The scientific theory of evolution is portrayed by the film as contributing to fascism, the Nazi Holocaust, communism, atheism, abortion, and eugenics.

Part 2 (7/11/2010)
Here are some of the verses I alluded to during the broadcast:
Revelation 3:10 - Because you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth.
Zephaniah 2:3 - Seek YHVH, all you meek ones of the earth, who have done His right-ruling. Seek righteousness, seek meekness, if so be that you are hidden in the day of wrath of YHVH.
Isaiah 10:22 - For although your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return; A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness."
If anyone cares to see the secular quotes I read and a simple exponential growth equation, those can be seen here: The Mystery of the Gentiles (Goyim).
Also, here is a slightly out-dated yHaplogroup migration map that can help people visualize the movements of various populations that I referred to during the broadcast. Pay particular attention to F, K, and the many sub-haplogroups.

Public speaking is not exactly a strength of mine... but Jono is a gifted host and facilitator. If Yah tarries, I'm convinced he will be given a bigger and bigger net to fish with. =)
Thanks for having me on, Jono!

VIDEO: Family Finder by Family Tree DNA
Alot of people are excited about FamilyTreeDNA's new product "Family Finder", partially because of the hope that it will allow them to cut in on an area that 23andMe has primarily dominated with a similar product they call "Relative Finder". But where 23andMe is weak (i.e., database size), FamilyTreeDNA is the strongest... so it will be exciting to see and hear what people find as it is adopted by FamilyTreeDNA's much larger customer base.
I'm fairly certain families who have suspected (but unproven) Jewish ancestry within the last few generations will especially find this new tool helpful in their search, but genealogists of all levels of expertise will find it extremely valuable... especially people who have no or little traditional paper-trails (e.g., people who have been adopted who have lost all contact with their genetic parents).

If you enjoy family history, genealogy, and/or genetic-genealogy... you'll love this TV series.
Not certain which genetic testing company Emmitt Smith used and they don't give any of his haplogroup information, but they do reveal that he is 7% Native American, 12% European, and 81% African. Very intriguing story!
Do I believe Emmitt has some Israelite ancestors?
You betcha! =)
Does he have any clue about it?
Probably not.

Black Hebrews MORE original than Ashkenazi Jews?
I keep running into this inconsistent logic. Can't ignore it anymore.
Some black-skinned Africans (who probably do have some variation of Ephraimite and/or Levite mixture in their ancestry) use the genetic evidence found in the black-skinned Lemba tribe as proof that most all or many Africans are the "original Hebrews"... by making the comparison to the Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH) found in the Lemba population with the same haplotype found in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. The evidence regarding the Lemba is indeed intriguing and compelling...
What lies have you (we) inherited?
For several weeks, I've been thinking of composing a list of the various lies and idols we have inherited from our fathers in the nations of our exile. Anyone care to help? Add your thoughts in the comment area below.
Jeremiah 16:19 "O' YHWH, my strength and my stronghold, And my refuge in the day of distress, To You the nations will come From the ends of the earth and say, "Our fathers have inherited nothing but falsehood, worthless idols and things of no profit."

Questions regarding Khazars, Ashkenazi Jews, the Rothschild family, and DNA
The following questions were recently asked of me regarding the Khazars, Ashkenazi Jews, and the Rothschild family.
- Yair Davidiy indicates that the Khazars were Israelites. Is his research on the subject of the Khazars reliable? I know he is well-respected in regards to two-house history.
- Is it possible that the Rothschilds hail from the Khazars and adopted the Hebrew faith more for political reasons than belief similar to Constantine's adoption of RCC.
- Is Ashkanazi Jew synonymous with the Khazar?
My less-than-perfect answers:

Five's Jonathan Samuels traces his family with the help of DNA and finds some unexpected surprises... making family connections that stretch across three continents... and one leading back to Israel.
FamilyTreeDNA has the largest database of Jewish individuals, which is largely why they can more easily identify and connect testees with the Jewish population and of course other ethnic groupings, such as Native Americans.
