Were the Samaritans - Kushim (Blacks)?

Blogger Bernard Leeman writes: Since 1985 I have writing books and articles (all free on academia.edu) arguing that the reason why nothing has been found in the Egyptian Delta/Israel/Palestine confirming the history of the biblical Old Testament up until the 586 BC destruction of Jerusalem is that the Hebrew Captivity took place in modern day Sudan, that Moses was from Nubia, the Exodus passed down through Ethiopia to Southern Arabia and the Kingdom of Israel and Kingdom of Judah were between Taima in northern Arabia and Yemen in the south. I used evidence from the Ethiopian epic Kebra Nagast, Kamal Salibi’s work on place names in West Arabia, Chaim Rabin’s “Ancient West Arabian”, Sabean (Sheban) inscriptions in Ethiopia, archaeology in Nubia, and DNA. Now, a second look at DNA has strengthened my argument. 5% of Jews as a whole possess a special DNA marker known as the Priestly gene, which indicates descent from Aaron, brother of Moses. 43% of Ashkenazim (“European”) and 53% of Sephardic (“Oriental) priestly Jews have that gene. Here is map of the distribution of the priestly gene. It seems the probable origin is Nubia and that its bearers moved to South West Arabia. Later, it appears to support the Old Testament and other accounts that the Samaritan Jews of the Kingdom of Israel were from the northern Hijaz and deported to the Black and Caspian Sea area. Samaritan in Hebrew is “Kushi” and it also means “Black African”. The group with the highest percentage of the priestly gene is the pagan-Hebraic Lemba of Southern Africa – 9% for the general population and 58% for its priesthood, the Buba.

I recommend visiting Leeman's site. He is a very interesting man. 

The best remedy is work

To stop working increases mortality.

Social Security eligibility begins at age 62, and approximately one third of Americans immediately claim at that age. We examine whether age 62 is associated with a discontinuous change in aggregate mortality, a key measure of population health. Using mortality data that covers the entire U.S. population and includes exact dates of birth and death, we document a robust two percent increase in male mortality immediately after age 62. The change in female mortality is smaller and imprecisely estimated. Additional analysis suggests that the increase in male mortality is connected to retirement from the labor force and associated lifestyle changes.

It's early morning here. Time to work on that Kalansuwa Commercial Center project.

Scandinavian leadership

TEVA's new Danish manager is sacking 14000 employees. The man has testicles, leadership qualities. Goldman Sachs raised its rating to buy from neutral: "TEVA has turned a corner with its announced $3bn of cost cuts by 2019 " analyst Jami Rubin wrote in a note to clients Friday. "While we acknowledge there is skepticism on the path forward … we believe we are in the early innings of a credible turnaround led by a competent management team."

Maybe I shall recoup my considerable TEVA losses. 

Waiting for AVA

I work on Autocad and having experienced Artificial Intelligence assistants in Google, Yahoo and Ali Express, I am waiting impatiently for a similar assistant in CAD engineering design machine. I am getting older and slower and make more mistakes, I would welcome assistance. Already "she" has a name - AVA , like Ava Gardner - and a face (friendly but utterly stupid. I don't like her. I'd prefer an Ashkenazi looking girl or even an old engineer master guru like the one at the beginning). Apart from her mulatto face, she has nothing else. Those idiots on Soul Machines doesn't know that no one wants to watch black girls - not in porn nor in CAD assistant role. I wonder why most financial announcers on TV are colored, they perorate financial babble with astonishing self-confidence, except that in real life no investor would let them to operate even cash register. 

"AVA is also something of an intercorporate conglomeration, powered by IBM Watson’s cognitive platform and Soul Machines’ patented Human Computing Engine (HCE), with design information processed by Autodesk software. The Soul Machines HCE is a “virtual nervous system” that uses neural networks in combination with other biologically inspired models of the human brain." Who cares? Make her work.

The Saudi Dictator

Chateau Louis XIV in Louveciennes, near Paris, was recently bought by Crown Prince Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.

Other 500 million dollar investments of the Saudi ruler are the largest yacht in the world, and an unique Leonardo de Vinci painting.


Bin Salman is considered a modernizer but these foreign investments make no sense if his mind is busy planning his country's future. To whom can be Bin Salman compared? Chauchescu built a fantastic palace while Romania starved. Just now nobody else comes to my mind.

Arabia has an important industrial base operated by foreign manpower. I have seen here sacks of poliethylene produced by a Saudi Petrochemical firm. They have a large desalination industry: the capital Riyadh is supplied with desalinated water pumped from the sea over a distance of 467 km. Water is provided almost for free. The service is uncertain: in Riyadh tap water is available once every 2.5 days, while in Jeddah, every 9 days.

The Saudi army is superbly equipped but is failing in the war against barefooted Houthis. No wonder: Who would put his life in harm's way to defend Bin Salman's French palace?

P.S:  As Jews and Zionists,what should be our attitude towards the Saudi Dictator? We are a decent, democratic, humanist society. We should try to minimize our contact with these Bedouin thieves and murderers, rich as they are. We may be poorer and weaker, but we must maintain a minimum of self-respect.

Riyadh under attack

The interception was recorded and published on the net. I counted six PAC-2 Patriot missiles fired against the Burqan-2H (SCUD) ballistic missile. One Patriot destroyed it but they fired five more for the fun or as a defensive shield against the debris (they can afford it). It is rather unsettling that Al Ansar (the Houthis - pronounced Phooties - (who heard about them two years ago?), a rag head mountain gang, possess the capability of firing WMD.
