The Wikipedia page on piracy gives you a lot of clues, if you know what to look for.

Piracy - Wikipedia

 
The earliest documented instances of piracy are the exploits of the Sea Peoples who threatened the ships sailing in the Aegean and Mediterranean waters in the 14th century BC.

In classical antiquity, the Phoenicians, Illyrians and Tyrrhenians were known as pirates.

Sea Peoples = Phoenicians.

Just as we suspected.

We can ignore “Illyrians” and “Tyrrhenians,” which are just poorly devised synonyms for Phoenicians.

Wiki tells us Tyrrhenian is simply what the Greeks called a non-Greek person, but then it states that Lydia was “the original home of the Tyrrhenians,” which belies the fact that they were known by the Greeks as a specific people from a specific place, not just any old non-Greek person.

Lydia - Wikipedia

Wiki then cleverly tells us “Spard” or “Sard” was a name “closely connected” to the name Tyrrhenian, since the Tyrrhenian city of Lydia was called Sardis by the Greeks.

(By the way, coins were first invented in Lydia – so they were some of the earliest banksters).

But that itself is misleading, since the Lydians also called themselves Śfard.

Nowhere is the obvious suggested – that Spard/Śfard looks a lot like Sephardi, as in Sephardi Jews.

Sephardic Jews - Wikipedia

These refer to Jews from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), the word coming from Sepharad, a place mentioned in the book of Obadiah whose location is lost to history.

It is speculated that Sepharad could have been Sardis, whose native Lydian name is Sfard.

Sepharad - Wikipedia

So, they do admit the connection, just on a different page.

It is amazing how much Wiki actually admits once you string together a few Wiki pages.

We also learn that the Egyptians referred to Lydia/Sardis as “Srdn” in their inscriptions.

That puts us in mind of Sardinia, an island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, as well as Sidon in Lebanon, one of the chief cities of the Phoenicians.

Tracing these variations, you can plainly see the westward expansion of the Phoenician thalassocracy from Sidon to Sardinia to Sardis to the Sephardic people of Iberia (the word “Iberia” itself is a variant of “Hebrew”).

As the Phoenicians sailed westward, they took their favorite place names with them.

Remember they did the same thing with Beirut (Britain) and Tyre (Tyrrhenian), other Phoenician cities in Lebanon.

As for Illyrians, this other “ill-defined” coastal people, one of their first great rulers as noted in their mythology was Cadmus, a Phoenician prince.

List of Illyrians - Wikipedia

So, the Illyrians were also Phoenicians.

Pirates = Sea Peoples = Tyrrhenians/Illyrians/Phoenicians/Sephardim = Jews

What’s telling is that the word “Jewish” does not appear anywhere on Wikipedia’s page on piracy.

However, since we’ve established that the ancient pirates were crypto-Jewish, let’s spring forward to the Golden Age of Piracy – from whence we get our modern stereotype of the peglegged, swashbuckling variety – to see if there is any connection.

Crypto-Judaism - Wikipedia

If you Google “Jewish Pirates”, you’ll come across a book called Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean by Edward Kritzler, published in 2009.

At the end of the fifteenth century, many Jews had to flee Spain and Portugal.

The most adventurous among them took to the seas as freewheeling outlaws.

they attacked and plundered the Spanish fleet while forming alliances with other European powers to ensure the safety of Jews living in hiding.

the Iberian (“Hebrew”) peninsula.

In other words, they were Sephardim - Śfard - Srdn - Sidonians - Phoenicians.

The book centers on Jamaica, where it details how Jewish merchants were closely linked to – and even controlled – much of the piratic activity out of Port Royal, Jamaica, which was ground zero for piracy in the late 17th century.

Port Royal was known as the “wickedest city in the world” during the Golden Age of Piracy, and it serves as the inspiration for many a pirate film, including Pirates of the Caribbean.

What’s less known – and never mentioned by Hollywood – is that Jews controlled Port Royal.

The main thoroughfare of the city was called Jews Street!

That’s Hebrew lettering beneath the skull-and-crossbones, in case you were wondering.

This also explains the curious connections between Rastafarianism and Judaism, like the fact that their messiah, Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie, claimed descendance from King Solomon.

Haile Selassie in the full ceremonial dress uniform of a field marshal, 1970 - Haile Selassie I (Ge'ez: ቀዳማዊ ኀይለ ሥላሴ, romanized: Qädamawi Ḫäylä Śəllase, lit. 'Power of the Trinity' born Tafari Makonnen; 23 July 1892 – 27 August 1975) was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974.

Rastafarianism incorporates kosher laws and even uses the Lion of Judah in its symbolism.

Bob Marley in a press photo dated to 1976 - Robert Nesta Marley OM (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican reggae singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Considered one of the pioneers of the genre, he fused elements of reggae, ska and rocksteady in his music and was renowned for his distinctive vocal and songwriting style.

And let’s not forget that Bob Marley’s father, Norval Sinclair Marley, was a British Jew.

But that’s fodder for another paper.

Anyone who has studied the history of piracy to any extent knows there is a fine line between a privateer and a pirate, the former being in the employ of a European government and considered a type of black-ops naval officer.

In fact, the line is so fine, there isn’t really a line at all.

The modern conception of the “freewheeling outlaw” pirate, a la Jack Sparrow, is entirely fabricated.

All pirates were funded by European governments, which means all pirates were really privateers, and thus were really naval intelligence agents.

Then, as now, the intelligentsia were controlled by the Jewish merchants.

Then, as now, these Jewish merchants were marrying their way into European aristocracy, forming alliances and subtly usurping aristocratic power either through marriage or moneylending – and usually both.

The pirates/privateers were simply one of the levers at their disposal in their covert war against the aristocrats.

They were a sort of private military that could be tapped at will according to the Jewish merchants’ prerogatives.

The pirates were also useful “enemies” of the state.

A more contemporary analog might be the mafia or the drug cartels; a manufactured goon squad that could play the bogeyman whenever it was convenient, i.e. whenever a European power needed a reason to extract more taxes for more defense spending.

Morocco, which in 1777 was the first independent nation to publicly recognize the United States, became in 1784 the first Barbary power to seize an American vessel after independence.

While the United States managed to secure peace treaties, these obliged it to pay tribute for protection from attack.

Payments in ransom and tribute to the Barbary states amounted to 20% of United States government annual expenditures in 1800, leading to the Barbary Wars that ended the payment of tribute.

Barbary Wars - Wikipedia

Curse those double-crossing Barbary pirates!

I guarantee you only a fraction of that 20% went to the pirates.

Most of it went straight into the pockets of America’s crypto rulers.

It’s a grift as old as time, or at least as old as the Phoenicians.

Another good modern-day analog might be ISIS/ISIL, whose flag, by the way, puts one in mind of the Jolly Roger, especially when turned upside-down.

Speaking of the Jolly Roger, it is curious to see how the flag has been co-opted in modern times by various official military organizations.

Jolly Roger - Wikipedia

It was frequently used by the Allied Forces during WWII.

Below is a photograph of personnel from the British submarine HMS Utmost showing off their Jolly Roger in February 1942.

HMS Utmost - Wikipedia

And below is a photograph of the Polish submarine ORP Sokól returning to base in 1944 with its own Jolly Roger and two “captured” Nazi flags.

I put that word in quotation marks because the photo appears doctored upon closer inspection.

I assume it was a paste-job for propaganda purposes, but the question remains – why would European navies choose the Jolly Roger as their emblem against the Nazis?

At least twice in 2017, the USS Jimmy Carter, an American attack submarine which has been modified to support special forces operations, has returned to its home port flying a Jolly Roger.

The reason for the flag in both cases is not known.

The Jolly Roger has even been adopted as the official logo of the Royal Navy Submarine Service.

The RNSS currently operates six nuclear submarines, with 19 decommissioned nuclear subs currently sitting in various nuclear sub graveyards in Rosyth and Devonport.

How do you dismantle a nuclear submarine? (bbc.com)

The U.S. and Russia have similar graveyards for their decommissioned nuclear subs.

The whole process of dismantling these defunct submarines is the epitome of a money pit.

According to this BBC article, it costs up to $50 million to dismantle a single nuclear sub.

Devonport: Living next to a nuclear submarine graveyard - BBC News

At the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, the U.S. has dismantled about 100 submarines.

You can do the math.

But that’s only the half of it: [I]n 2002, the G8 nations started a 10-year, $20bn program to transfer Puget Sound's decommissioning knowhow to the Russian Federation.

That involved vastly improving technology and storage at their de-fueling facility in Severodvinsk and their dismantling facility, and by building a land-based storage dock for the decommissioned reactors.

That’s one pretty taxpayer penny.

Now you know why the RNSS uses the Jolly Roger as its logo.

Piracy has only ever been a pretext for siphoning off more tax funds.

At least in the old days they still pretended the pirates were the other guys.

But what of the most famous pirates?

Were they all Jewish?

I don’t have the patience to research each one.

For starters, I’ll point you to one of the earliest modern pirates, Klein Henszlein.

Klein Henszlein [Klaus Hanslein] (died 1573) was a German pirate active from 1560 to 1573 who raided shipping in the North Sea until his defeat and capture by a fleet from Hamburg. Taken back to Hamburg, Henszlein and his men were paraded through the city streets before being beheaded on September 10, 1573; their heads were then impaled on stakes. In a later account, the executioner described how he "flicked off" the heads of the thirty-three pirates (not including Henszlein) in only 45 minutes, then proceeding to behead the bodies of those pirates killed during their capture. He later claimed to have been "standing in blood so deep that it well nigh in his shoes did creep".

He is sold as German, but his first name is a dead giveaway.

We are told he led a band of exactly 33 pirates, so that pretty much seals it.

Then there’s Abraham Blauvelt, who is sold to us as Dutch but whose name also gives him away.

He worked for the Dutch West India Company and later became a privateer “serving the Swedish East India Company.”

The British East India Company, American Revolution, & a Whole Lot More – Library of Rickandria

So apparently these maritime trading companies were simply organized forms of piracy, since they employed pirates.

Further evidence that piracy was just another tool of the wealthy Jewish merchants, who controlled all maritime trade.

If pirates weren’t obviously Jewish, they were crypto-Jews who came from all the same Families whose hands we’ve found in every cookie jar throughout history.

and on and on.

List of pirates - Wikipedia

Most of the Hollywood “freewheeling outlaw” pirates – the non-privateering types – have since been proven (or strongly suspected) never to have existed.

and so forth.

Other pirates have stories that don’t scan at all, such as Raveneau de Lussan, who “belonged to a noble but impoverished family.”

Sir Raveneau de Lussan, Bargaining with the Captain, from the Pirates of the Spanish Main series (N19) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes MET DP835045 - Raveneau de Lussan (born 1663 in Paris) was a French buccaneer.

Or the notorious Black Bart, who went from being a dirt-poor merchant marine captured by pirates to being elected captain of the ship within six weeks!

Bartholomew Roberts (17 May 1682 – 10 February 1722), born John Roberts, was a Welsh pirate who was, measured by vessels captured, the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy. During his piratical career, he took over 400 prize ships, although most mere fishing boats. Roberts raided ships off the Americas and the West African coast between 1719 and 1722; he is also noted for creating his own pirate code and adopting an early variant of the Skull and Crossbones flag.

Or Stede Bonnet the “Gentleman Pirate,” who was born into an English noble family and was a wealthy landowner “before turning to a life of crime” for no apparent reason.

Stede Bonnet (1688 – 10 December 1718) was a Barbadian-born pirate and military officer, known as the Gentleman Pirate because he was a moderately wealthy landowner before turning to a life of crime. Bonnet was born into a wealthy English family on the island of Barbados and inherited the family estate after his father's death in 1694. Despite his lack of sailing experience, Bonnet decided he should turn to piracy in the spring of 1717. He bought a sailing vessel, the Revenge, and travelled with his paid crew along the Eastern Seaboard of what is now the United States, capturing other vessels and burning other Barbadian ships.

For another sampling of these nonsense pirate bios, let’s survey the mainstream story of one of history’s most famous pirates, Henry Morgan.

While they don’t admit Morgan was Jewish, they do admit it of one of his chief cronies, Moses Cohen Henriques.

The amount of fact-dodging on Wikipedia regarding Morgan’s origins is astounding.

The historian David Williams, writing in the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, observes that attempts to identify his parents and antecedents “have all proved unsatisfactory” ....

Several sources state Morgan's father was Robert Morgan, a farmer.

We are then told it is unknown how Morgan made his way to the Caribbean, the theories offered being that he was part of an army sent by Oliver Cromwell against the Spanish, or that he was an apprentice to a maker of cutlery, or that he was abducted in Bristol and sold in Barbados as a servant. 

Yet he somehow worked his way up the ladder to become the fabulously wealthy and well-connected Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica.

What they are very poorly misdirecting you on is that he was from the peerage.

They betray themselves almost in the same paragraph by telling us that in 1666 he married his cousin Mary Morgan, the daughter of Edward Morgan, Jamaica’s Deputy Governor, and

What?!

If Edward was his uncle, he wouldn’t need to marry his cousin to become connected to the local bourgeoisie.

He already was connected.

Also, knowing that his uncle was the Deputy Governor of Jamaica throws all of the theories of why and how he came to the Jamaica out the window.

He obviously came to Jamaica because of family connections, and he certainly didn’t go there as a low-ranking soldier or an abducted slave.

Also, his family was obviously a prominent one.

All you have to do is look at Edward Morgan’s genealogy.

Sir Edward Morgan, Lt. Gov. of Jamaica (1610 - 1665) - Genealogy (geni.com)

His father-in-law was Baron Hans Georg Von Polnitz.

His other nephew – that would be Captain Morgan’s brother, Thomas – became 1st Baronet of Llangattock.

Edward’s mother – Captain Morgan’s grandmother – was Catherine Herbert, related to the Herberts, Earls of Pembroke. Captain Morgan’s great great-grandfather was also a Henry Morgan, Lord of Castell-Arnallt.

Lord Morgan’s grandmother was also a Herbert, making Captain Henry twice related to the Earls of Pembroke.

Lord Morgan’s grandfather was Sir William Jones, Standard-Bearer to Henry VII.

We can surmise, then, that Henry Morgan’s father, Robert, was certainly no “farmer.”

Here is a portrait of Henry Morgan as a young man; does he look like the son of a farmer?

The wig gives him away as a law student, and it turns out he was.

We came across the Middle Temple in Josh’s Gandhi paper.

This has been one of the spooks’ premier limited hangouts for centuries, a semi-autonomous tax haven in the middle of London fronting as a bar association.

It was founded by the Knights Templar, which Josh already noted was the world’s first multinational corporation.

So, we have another analog for the pirates; they were like the Knights Templar of the western front, dominating the trade routes into the Americas just as the Knights did into the Arabian Peninsula.

This may be the reason why the Mason Knights Templar of the United States uses a skull-and-crossbones as their insignia.

As it turns out, it’s a popular conspiracy theory that the Knights Templar went underground for a while (to Scotland) and reemerged as pirates.

"Curse of Oak Island" Repeats Claim That "Jolly Roger" Is a Templar Symbol - JASON COLAVITO

But this just reaffirms the old lies and misconceptions we’ve always been taught about both groups.

Yes, there is a connection between the Knights Templar and the pirates – both were crypto-Jewish fronts.

We can pull the East India companies into this as well, since it was the same model.

The East India companies fronted as public corporations, the Knights Templar fronted as a religious group, and the pirates fronted as greedy outlaws.

But all three were really privately held and controlled by the Jewish mercantilists.

One last word on Captain Morgan.

It appears his father and all of his younger siblings emigrated to America.

Specifically, to Salem, Massachusetts.

This would have been around 1640, about 50 years before the Salem witch hoax.

Do you think there might be any family connections to those hoaxers?

You bet.

all families involved in the witch trials.

Martha Carrier (Salem witch trials) - Wikipedia

This also links our buccaneer Morgan to J.P. Morgan the finance giant. J.P.’s ancestry traces back to Roland Morgan, Lord of Castell-Arnallt – of the same prominent Welsh Morgans as our pirate.

In fact, according to this alternate geni.com page for Henry Morgan, his father was not Robert the lowly farmer but Roland, the same Lord in J.P.’s ancestry. (See also the Google snippet above.)

Henry Morgan (c.1536 - 1603) - Genealogy (geni.com)

That would make the pirate and J.P. first cousins several times removed.

Also notable is that J.P.’s aunt was Lucy Goodwin.

Yet again we find the same ruling families continuing to intermarry across centuries.
