1. Robert Berentz: The Jewish Grandmother of Jean Laffite
Bible code 101 - Jer usa lem .. how clear does Judea/America get? The name of the USA in the very center of the main city of the Hebrews.
What a way to end God's story to mankind .. the settlement of all the people in a beautiful land of mountains and plains.
In 1812 a Jew by the name of Jean Laffite .. raised by his Jewish Grandmother and taught swordsmanship, cannoneering, dueling and navigation by her encouragement so as to become a French Naval Officer .. followed after his uncle's trade .. piracy.
He alone knew the tides of the Mississippi River .. built the fort to catch the British crossing the T .. they could not fire back and if they came around to fire .. the Mississippi flushed them down river .. Jean furnished all the cannons, flint, powder and fuses and his best cannon marksmen and won the war singlehandedly.
Andrew Jackson arrived with junk .. no powder .. rags for clothes and absolutely no knowledge of how to fight a sea battle with Briton. Jean defeated the British at sea four times before engaging them at New Orleans .. where he had a price on his head .. normally. They threw a ball for him and the next day tried to jail him.
The Battle of New Orleans started with one cannon shot, Jean's brother blew Packingham legs off and killed his horse .. he was sent home in a barrel of rum and buried in England. Packingham had just burned the White House and terrorized the whole East Coast and the Great Lakes region. Packingham was going to sail up the Mississippi river and deliver the Coup Da Ta.

3. Old Testament Practices in Early Christian Ireland
From another list
From: Erin Copenbarger
Subject: canon law and concubinage
I am currently working on marriage in early medieval Ireland. In the Irish canon law collection of the 8c known as the Hibernensis, the canon lawyers have used the Old Testament to justify concubinage and polygyny which were apparently common practices amongst the Irish aristocracy. More generally, the Irish canon lawyers found justification for many other Irish practices, such as marriage within the bounds of consanguinity, in the Old Testament. Was this a common device in other countries in general and specifically with regard to marriage?
Erin Copenbarger
From: Dr John France, University of Wales, Swansea
Rodulfus Glaber approved of the Norman dukes and seems to have accepted the transmission of their office through `concubines' and he defends it by OT precedent and that of the illegitimate birth of Constantine the Great.
In my edition (OMT,1989) references:
a. pp.164-5 in passing
b. pp.204-5 for defence
