Thanks, John.
What I'm asking us to search for are ideas that by definition cannot be supported entirely by traditional academic inquiry.
Intuition must be accepted, utilized, and honored.
That being noted, your call for us to take a "longer view of history" is right on the money. It is just that perspective that motivated my creation of this thread.
I would suggest lengthening that view of history, and adding similarly comprehensive views of other subjects.
And you're quite right in noting the limitations of "most research" as you describe it.
Everyone,
John, along with the aforementioned Stan Wilbourne, are on the right track. Or at least on my track, right or wrong.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
