1. Chuck Perschbacher:
Was Saint Patrick a Jew from Jerusalem?
Are y'all familiar with the book of Leinster p. 353 re: Patrick of Ireland?
It mentions that his line comes from Jerusalem, with the expulsion of Titus...

The keys that lock up the energy world

In 1904, British Admiral Sir John Fisher proclaimed that 'five strategic keys lock up the world.' Those keys were Singapore, Capetown, Alexandria, Gibraltar and Dover, and 'the world,' to Admiral Fisher, was the British Empire. Those keys were all straits, passages or chokepoints through which British commercial and military ships had to sail to keep the Empire thriving.
The USA as Successor State to Great Britain.- at the same time that they are seeking ways to weaken America's naval advantage, they are also dependent on the US Navy to secure their energy lifeline. Meanwhile, America's domestic energy boom is allowing it to be less and less dependent on distant and insecure sources and lessens our interest in securing those passages.
China has the weak hand here. Even if they develop the skills to push the US out of their immediate maritime neighborhood, they will not have the ability to surge out and protect their sea lines of communication and commerce. China can pursue an area access/area denial (A2/AD) strategy, but the US Navy can strangle them from a distance by closing the more distant approaches.
Just as Britain and her mighty fleets controlled the five keys a century ago, today the seven (eight, nine or ten) keys that lock up the energy world are owned by the United States and her naval forces. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

3. Cimmerians
Homer says the following about the Cimmerians: "She (i.e. the ship of Odysseus, M.J.O.) came to deep-flowing Oceanus, that bounds the Earth, where is the land and city of the Cimmerians, wrapped in mist and cloud. Never does the bright sun look down on them with his rays either when he mounts the starry heaven or when he turns again to earth from heaven, but baneful night is spread over wretched mortals. Thither we came and beached our ship, and took out the sheep, and ourselves went beside the stream of Oceanus until we came to the place of which Circe had told us"7.
On the other hand, the Cimmerians are placed in Transcaucasia according to Assyrian sources of the last quarter of the 8th century B.C., i.e. in Homeric times. Assyrian records locate the first known country of the Cimmerians in Asia, Gamir, in the Gori area (Georgia) on the eastern borders of Colchis20.
Herodotus quotes some versions on the origins of the Scythians. One of those accounts comes from Aristeas: "But Aristeas, son of Caystrobius, a man of Proconnesus, says in his poetry that he was transported by the god Phoebus to the land of the Issedones (...). The Issedones were driven of their country by the Arimaspians and the Scythians were driven out of theirs by the Issedones; and the Cimmerians, who lived by the southern sea, were hard pressed by the Scythians, and left their country. So Aristeas also differs from the Scythians about these regions."2
Herodotus treats such names as evidence for the presence of the Cimmerians in Scythia. Thus, he enumerates: Cimmerian walls (K i|i[j,epia xeixea), Cimmerian ferry (7rop0|i^ia Ki|ip,8pi(x), a region (%6prj) named Cimmeria (K i|i|ie p ia ) and the Cimmerian Bosporus (BooTuopog Ki|i[ispio<;). All these toponyms are situated in the Bosporus region. Besides Herodotus, several classical authors enumerate "Cimmerian" toponyms62. Hecateaus in Strabo mentions a "Cimmerian" city (polis)63. Aeschylus knows a "Cimmerian isthmus"64. Such names are frequently attested in Strabo who mostly followed older traditions. He writes: "Cimmericum (Ki|ifiepiKOv) was in earlier times a city situated on a peninsula, and it closed the isthmus by means of a trench and a mound. The Cimmerians possessed great power in the Bosporus, and this is why it was named Cimmerian Bosporus"65. Somewhere in the Crimea region Strabo seems to lo cate the mountain Cimmerius, so called "because the Cimmerians once held sway in the Bosporus; and it is because of this fact that the whole of the strait which extends to the mouth of Lake Maeotis is called the Cimmerian Bosporus"66. Posidonius in Strabo maintains that the Cimmerian Bosporus in the region of Lake Maeotis was named after the Cimbri for the Greeks named the Cimbri "Cimmerians"67. As to the validity of the "Cimmerian" toponymy for historical research there is much controversy. V. Parker considers that
Hecataeus of Abdera (who flourished in the second half of the 4th century B.C.) placed the Cimmerians in a "Cimmerian city" (Kip.fj.epic; t i o X x q ) amongst fantastic Hyperboreans in the north84.

4. Rabbi Yisrael Alter: Joseph is Gomer!
Rabbi Yisrael Alter (1895-1977), head of Gur Hasidim, and author of the "Bais Yisroel":
https://www.britam.org/GOMER2.html
# And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath, saying, 'God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones [essence] from here with you' (Exodus 13:19)#. Perhaps this hints at the completion [GaMeR] of carrying out a commandant. This is why the Children of Israel are called GOMRIM [Gomerites? Completers?], [as Joseph said] "and you shall carry up my bones [essence] from here" (Genesis 50:25). This is the point concerning all Redemption of the Children of Israel from all their Places of Exile, that they will be called GaMeR [Gomer]. They are advised to use the Torah and the power of Moses to keep the Sanctity of the Covenant [Sexual Morality] and they will be redeemed as we may learn from the Holy Books... they join together. Joseph is great and amongst his brothers there is none greater. Moses is great and in Israel there is none greater. The indication is that through them both will there be virtue ensuring the continued endurance of the Children of Israel. # (VeYechi, 5710. ca. 1950-51, Genesis 47:28).

Well, research shows Swedes and Norwegians have, unlike the rest of Europe, a large share of their genes from the Hunnic invaders of the early middle ages.
The evidence is supported both by the archeology and DNA-studies of the current population of southern Scandinavia.
Also, studies by Swedish Professor Ake Daun show that foreigners perceive Swedes as being cold heartless people with a sluggish mind.
These are traits that can be attributed to their Attila-genes.
n the period of the Volkerwanderungseveral tribes emigrated from southern Scandinavia, due to factors like overpopulation and worsening of the climate.
Groups like the Goths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Langobards, Heruli, and Burgunds migrated southwards.
Following the downfall of the Western Roman Empire, these tribes laid the foundations for several new kingdoms in Europe.
However, another group joined in on the Volkerwanderung, namely the Huns.
A nomadic people from beyond the Volga, they contributed to the downfall of the West Roman Empire, and both fought and allied themselves with the Scandinavian tribes.
They were led by their ruler Attila, and the tribe gave its name to present-day Hungary.
DNA-studies - The Mysterious Haplogroup Q
By investigating a man's Y-chromosome one can determine which haplogroup he belongs to.
The markers one looks at (denoted with a letter) tells us which 'tribe' your father's father's father's father came from.
As previously explored in the article 'Who Are We? ' Uncovering the Mystery of the Origin of Europeans, I identified the four haplogroups I1, I2a (the original Mesolothic Europeans), R1a, and R1b (the Indo-European invaders) as the true European groups.
Yet, there are other haplogroups present in Europe, such as the Asian N1c1, which is dominant in Finland, and is also found in the Baltics and northern Scandinavia.
This marker is easy to explain, as it goes hand in hand with the Uralic languages of the Finns, Estonians, and Samis.
The presence of haplogroup Q in Scandinavia, on the other hand, has been a mystery to scientists.
On a world basis, this is the dominant haplogroup among North- and South-American Indians.
The red stars on the map show where there is a large presence (more than four percent) of this haplogroup in Europe.
When viewing the map, one question naturally springs to mind: Why is there such a heavy presence of this group in southern Scandinavia (and not in Germany, Britain, France, and other countries)?
Several theories emerged.
One is that it is from the Sami people coming from the north, however this is easy to dismiss, as haplogroup Q has no correlation with the presence of the Sami/Finn haplogroup N1c1.
A more original theory was that it came to the shores of Norway through Eskimos crossing the North Sea in kayaks.
This was clearly not a reasonable explanation, as the chance of enough Eskimos surviving such a trip in order to make a significant impact on the Scandinavian gene pool is very slim.
However, one theory seems highly plausible.
Haplogroup Q came with the Hunnic invaders from the East. This makes sense with the presence
on the steppes (the Huns were a horse-steppe people) as well as in Hungary (where most Huns settled after all the fighting) and in some parts of Slovakia (close to Hungary).
So, how did they come to Scandinavia?
Well, it is well known that the Huns often allied themselves with the previously described Scandinavian tribes.
The way this was done was that the Huns established themselves as the elite, while the Scandinavians were soldiers.
A large group of Huns could very well be amongst the Goths and/or Heruli going back to Scandinavia at the end of the Migration Period.
The same explanation can be attributed to the red star marked in southwest France, where a portion of the Huns probably settled together with the Burgunds (as this is also the territory of the first Burgund kingdom).
In present day Scandinavia, more than four percent of men in southeast Sweden and large parts of eastern Norway carry the Hunnic genetic marker, in the rest of southern Sweden and Norway the percentage stands at between three and four percent.
This can be considered a significant share of the population, especially when juxtaposed with other parts of Europe.
According to Professor of Archeology at the University of Oslo, Lotte Hedeager, the old Norwegian (and also Swedish) ruling class consisted of Huns.
She argues that a new and strong social order was established with the arrival of the Huns, something that enabled them to resist the victorious Christian countries to the south.
Hedeager goes even further, stating that Attila could very well have been the same person as the Viking god Odin, hijacking the position of the already established Woden.
The writings of the Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson partly support this theory, as he wrote that the Gods (who were called Aesir) came from the area around the Don river in Russia.
This link has previously been explored by the famous Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, with his archeological expedition to Azov in Russia.
Also, many of the names given in the Nordic sagas are parallel to the names of Hunnic kings, like Halfdan (Huldin), Roar (Ruga), Ottar (Ottar), and Adils (Attila).
Conclusion
It may be a surprise to many, but it seems like southern Scandinavia has a larger presence of non-European genes than many other parts of Europe.
Both DNA- and archeological evidence point to this, more spesific; the presence of haplogroup Q as well as a change in burial traditions in Sweden and Norway.
Also, Atle, which is derived from Attila, is a common name in present day Scandinavia.
Following this, our blonde hair blue eyes poster boy (unable to load on this comment) may not be as European as one might expect.
Behind those innocent eyes hides the ruthlessness of the Hunnic invaders, who, under their leader Attila, contributed to the end of classical antiquity and led Europe into the dark ages.
