Alisa Dmitrijeva's body was found on the Queen's Sandringham estate in 2012 by dog walkers, decomposed to the point where she could have been there for 4 months, deliberately placed, and the case is still UNSOLVED. With everything going on today, *maybe* revisit this? #epstein #andrew #trafficking

I don't even know what to write here. I'm thankful for researching. Thank you to the gods of Appalachia, my grandma, and ancestry.com.

My jaw dropped. I can't believe I found this YouTube video only days after posting about the Burchfield 1927 Baker Roll interview for the Eastern Band of Cherokee. My kin weren't lying.
Still, what happened to Oo-wa-hoo-kee?

I wonder if-- one day-- Melungeon Appalachians can be associated with the Eastern Band of Cherokee as a sub-shoot.

Well, I wasn't prepared to stumble upon a "Cherokee DNA Mystery." However, it lines up with Melungeon DNA. It is contentious, though. #NativeAmerican #Melungeon #Genealogy #History #Cherokee #ScotsIrish #Mediterranean #NorthAfrican #MiddleEastern

More Melungeon + Cherokee follow-up. One of the Burchfields applying on the Baker Rolls is extensively interviewed and goes on to name neighbors and kin who attest to her relational ties to the Cherokee Nation.

It is my belief that we’re being kept in the minutia so we don’t pull our heads back + ask “why” to some of this ridiculousness; i.e., the fact that a sitting govt official uses a social media website for press releases; not only this, but the social media site is *owned* by him, too. ... what?

Has Elmer Wayne Henley said ANYTHING about the chickenhawk in the last 40 years, now that all the other larger-known pedophiles are dead?

Yesterday, I posted interior photos in 1993 of Epstein's mansion on Little St. James.

Curiosity led to my learning that Charles H. Revson (of Revlon fortune) lived in the mansion in 1999, which is one year after Epstein purchased it.

Epstein still hosted Revlon execs until recently. #research

From HG Magazine April 1993, interior photos of Jeffrey Epstein's stone mansion on Little St. James Island are included in a feature on the then-owners, Arch + Di Cummin(s).

This isn't the first international trafficking scandal to grip the nation. Through months of open-source research on 1970s networks, I've noticed similarities in how they operate to Jeffrey Epstein.

I have so much more.
