@WookieMan Which countries were your ancestors from?
My mother's parents were from Poland and Belarus (and the ones from Belarus seem to have moved there from Lithuania).
This is the Eastern European coming out in me.

Lithuania and Poland myself. 4-5 generations removed there's supposedly some Irish in there. I'm a mutt. But yeah, I identify as Lithuanian and/or Polish if a person were to ask. My sister did the 23 and me shit and it checks out. Count me out on that testing though. I like history, but heritage doesn't much matter to me. If you like Europe, I'm sorry, but it's a shit hole that has caused waaaaaay too many issues in the world. Russia is a saint in comparison.

There is always that saying: "Follow the money." Alex Barker and Patricia Nilsson are very accomplished investigative reporters employed by The Financial Times Of London. They have "ruffled a lot of feathers." They have made the rich and powerful mad. They have been the subject of numerous lawsuits worldwide. They have been subject to physical intimidation and threats of violence. They do not "back down."
They have produced a brilliant 6-part podcast on the money behind the porn industry. It is titled "Hot Money-Porn, Power and Profit." Here is a link:

I recommend that you invest the time to listen to this fascinating story.
