I am going to begin this exercise by saying what I
always do. What I reduce to writing, especially on such an important subject,
is true and accurate to the best of my ability. I try to lighten the subject a
wee bit with a humorous spin. The one thing that you will not find in any of my
writings is political correctness. There is no such thing. If you try to
accommodate political correctness, you have already lost; just lay down your
Big Chief and Jumbo pencil and get out your 64 Crayons and draw silly pictures.
I do not plan to rewrite my book here. If you
would like my rendition of the totality of this, the book is there for anyone
to read. This will be a simple synopsis of the sense of that story.
The Cradle of Civilization was not Africa, either
before or after the flood. That begins the PC version of history; as stated, if
that is your version, go grab those crayons and play with yourself. The
original Cradle was perfectly described and it was nowhere near Africa. In fact,
the original Cradle and the new Cradle were not far apart, both before and
after the flood. See the maps of Urartu or Ur of Abraham fame, i.e. Land of Ur.
There is a present day depiction of 1969 plus two perspectives on Google Destop
Maps that I have plotted.
Another silly myth that needs to be dismissed
summarily is that our world only began with the civilization of mankind in
Greco-Roman terms with about everyone else being lumped into a spurious
category of “Celts” or “Celtic”. If one was not Greek, Roman or Celtic, they
were knuckle draggers attempting to leave their cocoon of Cro-Magnon or
Neanderthal, hoping to evolve someday to rival the “civilized” Greco-Romans.
Disabuse yourself of that myth, perpetuated by the likes of the BBC and Alfred
E. Newman.
Greco-Romans are Johnny Come Lately in historical
terms. They did not just sprout of the ground like mushrooms and become
cultured, building great cities and drinking fine wines at a Bacchanalian. We
all know that mushrooms grow best in a bed of shite; that part about these
mushrooms is plausible. This part of the world was the recipient of the many
great Diaspora that occurred over time. The same can be said of the “Great
Builders of the Pyramids”. Point of fact, the same great builders built the
Pyramids, Solomon’s Temple, everything in Greece and Rome, beyond the mud huts
in which they lived, and by the same Unit of Measurement, no less so than
Stonehenge and all the other mysteries of great construction. They are still a
mystery to us but not to those who built them.
These great builders were not lost either, never
were. They knew who they were and know where they are now. They were only lost
to the Greco-Roman Myth Makers. They dispersed to the four corners of the
earth. In some cases they assimilated more than others. In other cases, they
went incognito, adopting pseudonyms [Gwaithfoed for instance], symbolic
surnames [Pereira and Ballasteros are good examples]. Their dispersions are
recorded by ancient historians and shown on maps. See maps.
“Celts” is a western world term that is a
catch-all for hundreds of tribes, devolved from more than 30 population groups,
with “celts” being just a smidgen of that population. They came from Gomer, who
came from Japeth, who came from Noah. All who came before Noah drowned like
rats.
From Shem came the Semites and from Ham came the
anti-Semites. From Gomer came the Gentiles, those of us today who are the only
ones who actually pay retail for goods and services. That is the reason
gentiles were put here, somebody has to pay retail or the economy will fold
like a sand castle in a hurricane. See the Table of Nations. Not one tribe,
coming from any of those 3 stems, like each other, to put it mildly and darned
if we aren’t tribal still today. Most of the Jewish tribes were dispersed first
to E. Anatolia, while others were taken east into Persia and south into lands
on the east side of the Gulf of Aquaba. Those in Anatolia were later put in a
shaker with mostly gentiles, shaken and not stirred, and have been on the move
ever since, to the four corners of the earth. Besides the map, you can refer to
the paper on the Table of Nations, which is in great detail. It is not perfect
but it largely captures the sense of it all.
It just gets better… Let’s take a big leap forward
to the Birth of Christ, a result of an Immaculate Conception. Which Birth of
Christ? The Apostolic Church of the “heathen” Khumri followed mostly James, the
appointed Apostle, not Pope Linus. They do not date from the chosen Birthdate
[See Constantine]. Their dating is from the time of the Passion, thus, the
dating methods are already off by approximately 33 years. Since Constantine
directed the traffic during the Canonization, he chose December 25 to coincide
with a pagan event. Most serious researchers, including Rabbis who studied
ancient Hebrew and ancient Hebrew customs put the Birth at around March 25,
following absolute Hebrew customs. Lest we forget, Christ was an ethnic Jew, as
were mommy and daddy. He was not black as the PC version insists.
The Eastern Church [Later known as the Orthodox
Church] have something also more closely following reality and, in fact,
rejected much of the Church of Rome aka the Pauline Church, including the date
of Easter aka Oester, in pagan terms. The Pauline Church went again with
Constantine and chose a pagan observed holiday for their celebration. You will
note they rarely fall anywhere near one another. Thus, we already have multiple
rates and dates and stories told by different parties. The Roman Church
rewrites their histories in Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland etc. By the time
of Gwaithfoed, the only thing Roman Catholic were a few monks, wandering about
aimlessly, eating nuts and berries, whilst chanting like a room full ‘o
woodchucks.
Ireland adopted its own form of Catholicism, an
offshoot of sorts from their own Apostolic leanings sometime during the 6th
Century to the time of Gwaithfoed. The Roman Church thought they had a deal
which they loaded with goodies, but their acceptance was really with a wink and
a nod. You see, the Roman brand of Catholicism was really courtesy of Paul, who
appointed the first “Pope”, Linus. Never did it follow Peter as Christ had
stipulated. After Peter’s demise, the Apostles generally followed James, as
Christ set out in the Apostle of Thomas, never canonized by the Three Stooges.
The canonization did not follow what they largely set out to do in the first
place—they originally set out to only canonize those books from Apostles
themselves. That would have ruled out many of the books that we got from the
canonization but it would have ruled in many that they had hoped were lost
forever. I have read all of the books; those ruled in and those ruled out,
subsequent to those other books having been rediscovered at Nag Hammadi and the
Dead Sea find. Following those discoveries, the Pauline Church is largely
without clothes. It should also be noted that these books have been readily
available in Ethiopia all along. The doofs just thought they had destroyed all
the evidence.
It should be added that Paul and those Apostles
appointed by Christ, all 12 of them, independently corroborated, one to the
other, did not see eye to eye. Paul was called on the carpet a number of times,
with James acting as Chairman of the Board. It finally came to a head one day
in Jerusalem. Paul was summarily dismissed and history does not record where he
went. See the attached, “Where Did Paul Go?”
For a long time in history, many forms of
Catholicism developed, as did many forms of Orthodox Christianity. Apostolic
Christianity was predominant in the British Isles, in various forms. If you
know your church history, you know that France had its own brand of
Catholicism, if you will. They did not look to the Vatican in Rome. They had
their own “Vaticans”, ruled primarily from Avignon. In France, the only time
the Vatican in Rome and the Vatican in Avignon saw fit to cooperate was when it
was time to kill a few notables, e.g. Merovingians and Templars, for example.
Other than that, France really followed the Apostle Mary, if you will—see Notre
Dame.
It should be noted that during this time in world
history, Kings were crowned by the Pope. Not only that, but their marriages had
to have the imprimatur of the Pope. That ended, in England at least, with Henry
VIII. While that was a good thing, they just traded a Bishop for a Pope, and
the Church of England became the new Vatican in London.
The first major upheaval occurred in 1054, when
the Eastern Church and the Roman Church formally split the sheets. That schism
remains today and I just do not see any reconciliation in my crystal ball. This
schism generally split the modern world into East and West. However, East of
the Orthodox world, we did have some splinter groups such as Hindu, Shinto,
Confucianism, etc. In the West, the splinter groups tended to be Apostolic but
sprinkling in the occasional Druid. The Druids seemed to dance to their own
sheet music while most Jews, whether Sephardic or Ashkenazi tended to do their
thing deep underground. Meanwhile, in the desert, Mohammed sprung up out of
nowhere.
Most have no clue of Druidism and their role in
Wales especially. They played an important role in the machinations of the
governments of Lords. The chief Arch-Druid was called the Blegwryd, the Keeper
of the Laws. Those Laws were not written, they were mnemonic and passed
mnemonically from Arch-Druid to Arch-Druid. The church did everything they
could to systematically kill every last Druid and they almost succeeded.
Almost, however, is only pertinent with hand grenades, horseshoes and 6th
Grade sex. They did not kill them all. Neither did they destroy all the ancient
writings in that land, although they gave it the old college try. Those that
remained were considered heretical and had to be castigated and discredited.
Silly boys!
All the while that this was taking place, the
church in Rome continued to stick to the party line that they were the only
real game in town. The rest of us however, still do not know for sure whether
the Vatican is a City, a State or a Church. Others aren’t sure if it is a
social fraternity, calling each other brother incessantly, or some kind of
government entity with its own federal bank. Things rocked along nicely, in
their own inimitable way of thinking, in spite of the confusion until something
called the Reformation occurred, brought about by Martin Luther and continued
by John Calvin, at attorney. Confusion then turned into Chaos and the rest is
history. Luther adherents went one direction and Calvinists in another. Chaos
still rules today. We have more denominations today than there were tribes to
house them. Thank God for the Establishment Clause. Jefferson tried his best,
with Madison, to ratify the Separation Clause but they fell short and the
result is the Establishment Clause. They were successful in the Commonwealth of
Virginia. The Separation Clause is alive and well in the Statutes of the
Commonwealth.
This Chaos all seemed to coincide nicely with King
Henry VIII and his trusty sidekick, Ollie Cromwell; no mention of Stanley
anywhere. King Henry was quite happy to give ole Ollie the reins, whilst he
worked his way through a goodly number of wife-queens. Ollie, by the way, was
actually a surname Williams, quintessentially Welsh. Henry of course was
half-Welsh, through his maternal line. This prompted the first schism in the
Mathew family—they were now thoroughly confused, largely due to the fact that Henry
and Ollie went one way and they found themselves in a predicament. It was at
this juncture that the new Church of England was formed, aka Anglican Church,
aka Episcopalian Church, aka Catholic-Lite.
All of this led to what became known as the
Plantations, in Northern Ireland. This is where it began to get really hinky
with the Mathew family; resulting in the Big Shakedown and forcing all parties
to declare—Catholic or Recusant, no in between. If you remained tied to Rome,
you were about to have all of your landed estates absconded with, escheated to
the State [Church] unless you chose to recuse, in England, Ireland, S. Scotland
and Wales. The estates in Wales had been theirs for a millennium, reiterated by
Kings Eddie II and III, and written into the Kings Books. In addition, they had
accumulated vast estates in their newly adopted Ireland. All now were in
jeopardy. In addition, the massive estates of Lady Mary Elizabeth Poyntz, an
ardent Catholic, was now on the table, awaiting orders.
Now I hearken your attention to the specifics of
the matter in Ireland, in the next chapter, Coincidence or Cause and Effect?
What prompted all this can be found in a paper I
wrote after receiving information about a book written by a Bryson family
researcher. He included a chapter on his related Matthews and Doak families. It
brought a number of new facts that neither Helen Odum Harrell nor I had
previously uncovered. The name of that paper is New Facts on Matthews in Bryson Book. This prompted me to look at
my research again and look in an altogether different direction. That led to
the revised FTM file and relevant writings you are viewing today. I found the
missing link.
In conclusion, it is an absolute fact that this
family has been studied extensively and documented to an extent that even some
of the big name royal families have not seen. I was personally engaged to tie
the Old World Mathew family to the New World Matthews family. What is baffling
about all that is why did the interest in this family just cease to exist in
our recent history? That is just not plausible. This family was documented back
to Ithel Ddu, aka Gwaithfoed, by noted historians and royal genealogists;
Bartrum and Clark just to name two notables. If you have read the writings of
ancient historians, including early church documents in Wales, as I have, you
will learn that our documented history goes back even further to very early
recorded history in S. Wales.
Granted, there have been numerous attempts to
obscure the lines, with Gwaithfoed being the perfect example. If you know who
Ithael Ddu is in Welsh history, then you know that was one of those cases in
which you were sent on a wild goose chase. Another case in point is the very
large persona of Iestyn ap Gwrgan[t], who is largely obscured from his
parentage. If you know what you are looking for, he was anything but obscured.
His lineage was objected to however, by clerics of the Church of Rome,
constantly bickering with Welsh Lords over their intent to “keep it in the
family”. Keep it in the family they did however and Iestyn was one such product
of that practice, due to their adherence to Gavelkind. He was a direct
descendant of Gwaithfoed by a very incestuous tryst. The church doeth freaketh!
You see, crowned princes or kings du jour had to
be crowned and guess who had to crown them—the church of course. In the royal
blood line however, no crowning was required, nor other imprimatur was
necessary. They were royal by their blood. They didn’t need no stinking kings,
princes or popes to concur with their authority. They were born with it.
Further information is in my book but here is one quote that will give this
some light:
In The Constitutent Estates of Sovereignty,
subtitled, In Each of the Five Principalities of Wales, by Thomas
Hopkins Mss, it states, “No one of the 3 diademed
[crowned] princes is entitled to exercise the power of sovereignty over either Glamorgan
or the territory of Elystan Glodrydd [Gwent] –
territories of the fetter or torque wearing Lords. (You can’t trump
Holy/Royal Blood). Also stated, “The prerogatives of
supreme sovereignty, and organizing an assemblage of all Wales, do not
appertain to the Prince of Glamorgan [& Gwent], who exercise such rights
only within Glamorgan, Gwent and Gower, with their
dependencies; and the tribe of Elystan Gloddrydd is similarly
circumscribed.”At this time in Welsh history, there were 3 who
wore the torque in succession: Gwaithfoed, Morgan Hen & Elystan Gloddryd
aka Iestyn ap Gwrgan[t].
The point of all this is to say it is
well documented but some of the “documenters” obscured the lines to protect the
interests of the church and their hand-picked “royals”. Having said that, I
reiterate that it is impossible to believe that our history is not well known
by some, including the missing pieces, to date. If you have studied some of the
landed estates documentation, you will find that entail was cut, “due to no
male heirs”, in 1817, I recall, or thereabouts. Well, that is just not true.
There were and still are male heirs; it is stated as such due to the fact that
the Catholic heirs are alive and well and have been living in London for
generations. The other male heirs have been living on a different Continent
about that same length of time. End of story, lines sufficiently obscured once
again.
That
is understandable but why would we here in the US of A want to obscure the
lines? There is probably an answer in some church somewhere. The one in the
cornerstone of the Pineville Methodist Church seems to have gotten away.
