I posted some random bullshit thread in GBS and someone from BYOB replied, lamenting that I haven't posted in BYOB in a while, and I said I would. The Colve Project is going tremendously well. I have uncovered all kinds of cool poo poo. Mindblowing, history-rewriting poo poo. The rabbit hole is endless. I am starting to get some recognition for my work by important people. It's all coming together. I can't give away too many details because I might have a book deal in the works. Gotta save the juicy stuff for the final product. Hmm... What can I say without divulging too much sensitive information? Oh, I've spent a few months hunting down a lost map from the 1670's that should exist somewhere, but has never been found (yet). The relevant curators finally wrote back to me the other day: quote:Dear twoday, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoy4_h7Pb3M I realize there are probably a lot of posters here who have no idea what I'm talking about. If you have any questions about North American Dutch colonial history, ask me anything. I just read through 5000 pages of court records last week, lots of drunkenness and physical violence and infidelity, maybe I'll post some highlights later. |

I also know a lot about ancient history, including the true site of Atlantis, but I can't tell you that either.

I remember this, but can you for new and returning people alike? I remember it was about some city that was unofficially but in a very real sense run by a batshit warlord guy and that it was very fascinating and there was very little historical record of it and you were researching it but that's about it. |

Yeah, that's right. The city was New York. I could summarize it but I would find it more fun to see if you guys can collectively piece it together from memory, or only answer questions, like a troll under a bridge but the other way around

I don't remember it totally because I was just a lurker but here's what I recall. There was this guy called Colve who was Dutch. I think he was a military guy, but not a general at first? He took over New York City and changed the name into New Orange, in...uh...16...7...sixteen seventy something? 1675? and ruled it for a period of something like a year and a half with an iron fist, engaging in crazy punishments for wrongdoers. I feel like there was something about stakes? Didn't he do something with stakes? I also someone suggesting the title "Blood Orange" for the book, which still sounds like a righteous pun to me. Also, I think I remember that Colve was crazy before he took over NYC, because of some experiences in Africa or South America. But he was definitely a nut. ---------------- |

why government hide flat earth truth from people? Why does circle of secret rings (one of them is Illuminati) protect ice wall? How come they purged all life in Atlantis? All BYOB posters are actually FluffieDuckie.

Though actually a lot of the blame for the trail of tears goes to Jackson's Secretary of State, who would go on to succeed Jackson as the 8th president, Martin van Buren (noted Dutchman). Van Buren didn't start learning English till he was 8, so apparently he had a very thick Dutch accent DISCLAIMER: THIS POST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE |
