John Colyn Jope was the mysterious captain who brought the first Africans to Virginia in August of 1619. Major Jope has graciously shared his family history with the author, giving us as well, the name of the Dutch man-o-war which, along with the English man-o-war "Treasurer", captured the Portuguese slaver "Bautista" in July of 1619 and brought the first Mbundu ancestors of the Melungeons to America.
Erizo sold the "White Lion" to his Calvinist minister, the Reverend John Colyn Jope of Cornwall. Captain Jope had to overhaul the battered ship; a project which took him ten years."

So you're taking from a site...that praises Nazi Germany for getting rid of the Jews?
It's time for you to hush, child. Your bigotry has no place here.
Cecil Roth wrote about the daily life of Jews in England through the centuries; A History of the Jews in England. However, he never exposes any high profile criminals like the Rothschilds (even though he mentions them) so the value of this book is more about understanding how the Kings of England through the ages have had to deal with the Jews. It's not a book of great help for us today, but still of some value for those of us who are interested in history.

So common in fact, that it was not uncommon in some cultures for children to be sold into slavery by their parents, or for some people to sell themselves into 'indentured servitude' (time-limited slavery) themselves.

Still goes on in some places today. In Sudan one can buy a slave for $50 (and they are probably cheaper but that is what the Christians pay in greenbacks), in India one can buy a child for as little as $12.
Makes me laugh when some people say things like "its just a dog, you can buy another one". Sheesh years ago I spent $1200 on a dog, so I guess that means my dog was worth 24 Sudanese slaves, or 100 lower cast Indian child slaves.
Of course that is silly, my dog was priceless, plus one has to factor inflation in (it was 20 years ago) I am just using it as an example to prove a point.
Point being, even the most "biased" among us, the least pc, still laugh at crazy ideas like "Jews talked Columbus into bringing 500 slaves back from his voyage". Granted most Semetics, including Arabs, do excel in spin, and I think we could blame a good number of problems on the linguistic/sales skills of Arab slave traders in the 1600's, but that is a whole other issue.

A Jew of standing, Dr. Oscar Levy, well known in English literary circles and a lover of his people, has had the honesty and the wisdom to meet the Jewish Question with truth and candor. His remarks are printed in this article as an example of the methods by which Jewry can be saved in the estimation of Twentieth Century Civilization.
The circumstances were these: George Pitt-Rivers, of Worcester College, Oxford, wrote a most illuminating brochure entitled, "The World Significance of the Russian Revolution," which is published and sold for two shillings by Basil Blackwell, Oxford. The book is the result of unprejudiced observation and study and agrees with the statements made in THE DEARBORN INDEPENDENT about the personnel of Bolshevism. The manuscript was sent to Dr. Oscar Levy, as a representative Jew, and Dr. Levy's letter was subsequently published as a preface to the book.
That the reader may understand the tenor of Mr. Pitt-Rivers's book, section XVI, pp. 39-41, is herewith given in full, and is followed by Dr. Levy's comments. The italics throughout are intended to remind the reader of remarks on similar lines made in this series:
It is not unnaturally claimed by Western Jews that Russian Jewry, as a whole, is most bitterly opposed to Bolshevism. Now although there is a great measure of truth in this claim, since the prominent Bolsheviks, who are preponderantly Jewish, do not belong to the orthodox Jewish Church, it is yet possible, without laying oneself open to the charge of anti-Semitism, to point to the obvious fact that Jewry, as a whole, has, consciously or unconsciously, worked for and promoted an international economic, material despotism which, with Puritanism as an ally, has tended in an ever-increasing degree to crush national and spiritual values out of existence and substitute the ugly and deadening machinery of finance and factory. It is also a fact that Jewry, as a whole, strove every nerve to secure and heartily approved of the overthrow of the Russian monarchy, which they regarded as their most formidable obstacle in the path of their ambitions and business pursuits. All this may be admitted as well as the plea that, individually or collectively, most Jews may heartily detest the Bolshevik régime, yet it is still true that the whole weight of Jewry was in the revolutionary scales against the czar's government. It is true their apostate brethren, who are now riding in the seat of power, may have exceeded their orders; that is disconcerting, but it does not alter the fact. It may be that the Jews, often the victims of their own idealism, have always been instrumental in bringing about the events they most heartily disapprove of; that perhaps is the curse of the Wandering Jew.
