1. Levite Reports
Hello there - I read your observations on The Tribes - and wanted to share.
 I am a Levite. We even did a DNA test - which showed E1b1b1 - which points to this.
 We are light skinned, blue eyed, light hair. We are medium to tall stature and muscular.
We are in law enforcement, and are involved with sports.
 One thing you may include in your description of Levites are physical - we are a very physical people - always using our hands in professions and also in sports.
Your description seems very accurate, and interesting you compare Levi to Simeon, which seems correct.
 We actually are all from Ireland in my family as well. G.

2. An End to the Google Gaggle Sage
A contact in NY, USA, told us that in NY State the entry Lost Ten Tribes on Google Search comes up second (after Wikipedia) on the front page.
He spoke to his SEO (Search Agent Optimization) agent who told him that in the USA each state is liable to give different Google results. He was also told that it was possible for someone outside of a certain state (in this case NY) to know what the Google results are in that State by taking such-and-such measures the explanation of which he failed to understand.
Anyway, that just about wraps the matter up.
There never was a Google Gaggle against Brit-Am.
Perhaps we spent so much energy in the past fighting Conspiracy Theories that we ourselves had inadvertently become infected?

3. Note on Radio Church of God (of H.W. Armstrong).
Radio Church of God
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ten_Lost_Tribes
In the 1920s, Herbert W. Armstrong published the belief that the 10 tribes of Israel (Asher, Dan, Ephraim, Gad, Issachar, Mannaseh, Naphtali, Rueben, Simeon and Zebulon), constituting the majority of the ten displaced tribes, after their captivity by the Assyrians, had eventually migrated to northern and western Europe and constitued large portions of the nations that now exist in those areas. These tribes were most commonly referred to as the "House of Israel" in the scriptures as separate from the "House of Judah". The House of Judah was composed of the tribe of Judah, Levi and portions of Benjamin, and generally known as the Jews in later centuries. The House of Judah was sent into captivity beginning in the 6th century B.C. by the Babylonian Empire and their subsequent history is well chronicled by secular and biblical records. Regarding the "Lost Ten Tribes, Mr. Armstrong stated that the nations of Britain and the United States of America has in part been populated by the descendants of Ephraim and Mannaseh, the two sons of Jacob. According to Mr. Armstrong, the national destinies of all of the these tribes were outlined in chapter 49 of Genesis. These beliefs were in large part based on the specific biblical promises made to Abraham and his descendants as recorded in the chapters of Genesis. This belief also formed an essential basis for his understanding of Bible prohecy and its fulfillment in the "latter days". Armstrong on his radio and TV show 'The World Tomorrow' offered a free book called 'The United States and Britain in Prophecy' that explained these beliefs in detail.
After Armstrong's death in 1986, the Worldwide Church of God under Joseph Tkach Sr. and Jr. rejected many beliefs that Mr. Armstrong had held and the doctrine of the ten tribes was among them . Several churches were formed from former Worldwide Church of God members who departed and most of these churches continue to accept this doctrine. Among these are the Philadelphia Church of God which publishes a similar treatise explaining their belief. In this publication, the Twelve Tribes mystery is explained. After the Philadelphia Church of God began printing Armstrong's material in 1997, the Worldwide Church of God promptly sued stating that they had the copyright to the material. The Worldwide Church of God won and then sold the rights to the Philadelphia Church of God in 2003. Two other churches, the Living Church of God and the United Church of God, also publish material on the biblical evidence for lost ten tribes.
