Wow, that is a lot of decorations. Too busy for my tastes, but neat to see things like that when traveling.

Wow! I had no idea you could do so much with amber – usually just think of earrings and pendants. It’s beautiful in a gaudy kind of way.

Hoary historicity from Prussia.
Rasputin’s reticency . . .

Dubya’s grandfather,Prescot, provided oil, steel, & funding for the Hitler regime.
The Walker side of the family is the moniker that Prescot dubbed Poppy with, or George Herbert “Walker” Bu$h.
Like Bu$h, Walker was also a rich banker who helped fund the Nazi bastards.

I’ll bet that Prussian
Baltic Amber is part of the Bu$h family heirlooms, or @ least it plays a role, along w/ Geronimo’s skull, in Yale’s Skull & Bones Society.

Probably along w/ some antiquities from the Baghdad Museum too.
I’m just saying…

Those tsarists could get away with anything. As a good friend of mine (95-year-old survivor of the holocaust) says, the best thing about America is that all the bad stuff eventually becomes known.
