Hello gentlemen this is Joe from Utica again. This is go into tin-foil hat territory. This weeks episode got me asking the question, how do the Americans know about the history of love/incest between James and his sister. Now one possible source ive come up with is that in anticipation...

Hello, Gentleman! I’m glad you guys enjoyed my earlier emails! I wanted to write another one about Nootka Sound’s relationship to the French Revolution, and how James could, ultimately, bring in the Dutch, French, and Spanish to offset the Americans and the British, but I decided to bring in some...
