Miles Mathis's take on the widely-held Khazaria/Tataria theory of Ashkenazi origin, (new)
http://mileswmathis.com/tartar.pdf
For the past couple of years I have been getting emails on Tartaria or Khazaria, asking what I thought
of these theories. Although they are separate theories (mostly), I lump them in here for a reason. I will
show that they can be dismissed as variants of the same misdirection.
The Khazars theory came first, and it goes all the way back to around 1800, when Rabbi Levinsohn and
Johann Ewers pushed it for a few years. That is your first clue: it is and always has been promulgated
by Jews. The idea is that the Ashkenazi came from Khazars in southern Russia in the 8th c. AD.
Although it is true the Khazarian leaders were “converted” to Judaism at that time, it doesn't mean the
Ashkenazi came from them. As I have shown you, the more likely answer is that area was taken over
by Phoenicians/Jews in that period, through trade and intermarriage. So it wasn't a conversion, it was
an infiltration and subversion. But large parts of the world could say the same. The Phoenicians had
been taking over the world for 3000 years by that time, and were covertly conquering large parts of
Europe and Asia in those millennia. So to claim that a major sect of Jews came from a particular
location like Khazaria is misdirection. It is misdirection, because the Jews pushing this theory want to
point you to everywhere except the right spot. They need to divert you away from the right answer,
which is that the Jews came from the same place the Phoenicians came from: Canaan, Phoenicia, or
Jerusalem. The Jews don't want you to realize they are equivalent to the Phoenicians, because that
would destroy all their stories of victimhood.
Historians and archaeologists admit the Jews and Phoenicians come from the same place and have the
same language, so they really have to jump through hoops to prevent you from making the obvious
connection. They have to make you think the Phoenicians crashed and burned completely at the time
the Jews (Twelve Tribes) were arising, and that after that the Jews were the constant punching bags of
the Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, etc. When the truth is, Phoenicia never crashed.
Phoenicia was an extension of Egypt, and was behind both Persia and Babylon. It was also behind
Mycenae, Crete, Greece, and Macedonia.
