As always, I derive so much new perspective from Michael Hoffman’s writings. As an example, driving home form Cheyenne today (it’s all Indian land!) through farms and cattle ranches, I thought for once in my life I’d like to be proud of being a white woman, instead of guilt-ridden and shamed. This sort of psychology is relatively new to us. My parents never felt it. This is “...a falsehood imposed as part of the divide-and-conquer strategy of the Cryptocracy. Rather, we have witnessed in the chronicle of the West a war waged by a system of usury banking in violation of the Word of God...” Amen.

False guilt and imposed shame, as you know, are tools of psychological warfare. On the other hand, we have the inducement of permanent grievance imposed on other races, —another weapon of psychological warfare.
Our parents shared the identity of American; the unique unity, which transcended race and class, which absorbed immigrants who were profoundly grateful to be in the land of opportunity where their rights were derived from and bestowed by God, not a king, or an administrative state, or a ruling class.
Like Camus, we refuse to be victims or executioners. We refuse the temptation to hate, which the Cryptocracy dangles before us, to divide and conquer us.
White supremacy is wrong, and so too is every other racial supremacy. including those that exploit and exacerbate hatred for white people.
Equality before the law and advancement through merit. This is my prayer for all people of goodwill who wish to live in peace.
Thank you, Michael. Your extraordinary understanding, through years of study, is very calming. Just as being told you are always a victim is crippling, so is the shadowy sense of guilt. As you say, the divide and conquer technique. The shame is subtly, and not so subtly, passed on, and I begin to wonder if this is part of the root of Woke. It’s taught in school, kids programmed so young to feel shame. The books we grew up on, “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” “Black Elk Speaks”—a kind of pithing of identity as a white in America. Our European friends: “Why did you whites do such horrible things...” and on and on. I want to thank you especially for what you restore to us of the true Puritans. That was another source of shame which prevented true examination. Anyway, I feel it’s time now to sing the older Christmas carols loudly about rejoicing and good will, because our only moment is now—by the way, Red Cloud, our local famous chief, became a devout Catholic...
As a Christian I don't condone slavery based on the color of one's skin and neither do I believe the Christian Bible does either. However, I recall reading in the past some Christian literature that attempted to trace the peoples of the world to the Biblical three sons of Noah. In it white people (Europeans) were claimed to be of Shem; black people (Africans) of Ham; and yellow people (Asians) of Japheth. It stated that in Hebrew Ham means "burned" and Cush means "black." So although the Bible doesn't describe the skin color of Noah's three sons or his grandsons, one might argue it's possible to ascertain this information based on the Hebrew words used and their meanings. Personally I believe that both Adam and Eve were created with the sperm and egg cells containing the genes of all major skin colors and hence their children were of different "races" or "people groups." Our Creator is the source of all the wonderful variety in our world and no child of God should be devalued especially when it comes to things that are out of our control like our skin color, etc.
Thanks for writing. The "Christian literature" you read is incorrect. The etymology of the name Ham does NOT denote either dark color, black color, or heat. The biblical name Ham is not a descriptor of the black race or black skin. Its etymology is unknown. Th connection of Ham to black skin color is an invention of the Talmud and Midrash.

Is it "Fynn" as on the book cover image you provide, or "Flynn" as you spell in your text?
Dear Mr. Klampe
I appreciate your proof-reading and attention to detail.
Ther oversight has been corrected, thanks to you.
