Bear with me as I unpack this visually. The following are ancient maps created by different cartographers between 1600-1800 AD as they would plot the locations of resources and people groups during exploration. Quickly you'll see why this belongs in the Conspiracy Room, and hopefully you'll begin helping to spread this information and remove Satan's deception.

Notice the area I've marked in red on the screenshot below:
(Published 1747, Emanuel Bowen; London)

This is a screenshot of West Africa. If you visit the link and click on the map, you can zoom in and read that the name of the area is "Widah". It was also known as the "Slave Coast" during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.
Now we can assume Emanuel Bowen - as well as other cartographers - did their best to phonetically spell what they heart others say, because this same location is also spelled "Whidah", and "Whydah". The French called this same place "Ouidah" as a translation of its name, so this is most likely what the English first heard. Meanwhile the Dutch called this area "Fida". But what's interesting is what "Ouidah" means...
Ouidah (/ˈwiːdə/) or Whydah (ˈhwɪdə, Yoruba: Xwéda; Ouidah, Juida, and Juda by the French

Notice the area I've marked in red on the next screenshot below:
(Published 1747, Emanuel Bowen; London)
https://www.vintage-maps.com/en/antique-maps/africa/bowen-western-africa-1747::1256
This next map is also of West Africa. It was Bowen offering further detail of "Negroland". If you visit this map you'll notice that the slave coast is called "Whidah" as mentioned above, but it's also literally known as "The Km. Of Judah". The Portuguese even called this area "Ajuda". Is this a strange coincidence? Why would the Slave Coast be called the Kingdom of Judah?
I can only speculate as to how "Ouidah" means "Judah" - maybe because "Oui" in French is "yea" or "yes" and the letter "J" was still pronounced as a "y" back then - but there's no doubting that Bowen's map says the so called slave coast was known as the Kingdom of Judah.
I've marked the next screenshot in red also:

Again this is West Africa. And again this ancient map gives a name for the area: "Re De Juda". I don't know what "Re" means but "de Juda" means "of Juda". So maybe it means "realm" or "royal estate" (of Juda). Either way here's another nation's cartographer noting the same name for the area. Was this are THEE Kingdom of Judah??
Here's yet another ancient map of West Africa. Note the name underlined in Red:
(Published 1743, Homman Heirs)

Circled in red are the names Judah and Benin. I also circled "Benin" because it's interesting that there's a land with the name "Ben" close to a land called Judah as Biblically we know that the tribe of Benjamin went with the Kingdom of Judah and stayed within Judah even through the time of Christ. Benin is even a very close version of Benjamin, only missing the middle syllable "jam".
Why would these different map-makers have any motive to lie about the name of this land? This is a visual testimony of 3 different witnesses showing the same thing.
Is it plausible to have this land be known as "Kingdom of Judah" between 1600 and 1700 AD? Well the temple was destroyed (and the Jews were scattered) in 70AD; so could a people who fled Jerusalem have migrated 4000 miles westward into West Africa in 1500+ years? So yes, it's very possible.

If you zoom into this ancient map of Africa you'll notice that each area circled in red shows areas where Bolton noted Jews were living. While my blue arrow what we can extrapolate was the migration pattern of those Jews if we assume their migration began in Jerusalem. Please follow the link from Princeton to show the original map unaltered.
Areas I've highlighted on my copy of the map:
- (south of Egypt) "Shankala: Wandering Tribes; Falasjam Jews exiled"
- (westward of Shankala) "Lamlem: According to Edrifsi the land hereabout was peopled by Jews"
- (south of Lamlem) "Km. of Dahomey: Trudo Audati subdued the states of Ardra and Widah (Judah)."
So, if the Jews did wander westward into Africa to found a new kingdom of Judah 1500 years after the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, what happened to them? Well in Luke 21 Christ said the Jews would be sent away as captives/slaves into all nations. And there's only one group of people who's been sent away as slaves into every nation.

Why doesn't prophecy seem to fit the people currently in the land of Israel? Could it be because there's a plot to hide the truth? How many people know this information? Can you see why this is a conspiracy? It's probably the greatest conspiracy on earth since we know many prophecies that are to be fulfilled surround the Jews.
In the bible discussion room I posted the following reply listing why those who claim to be Jewish can't possibly be the true Jews of scripture (with all do respect to them): http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/166567-who-has-right-called-jew-3.html#post3578263. And this is the historic proof to confirm it.
Satan has deceived all of us.
