This year as usual native Americans all over America in all the major towns and cities are carrying out a symbolic annual public trial of Christopher Columbus for all the crimes he had committed during the conquest of America. In this trial Columbus face multiple charges for genocide , slave trafficking, brutal exploitation, rape and robbery. The symbolic trial will end with his execution by hanging. Native American Indians throughout the Americas view his arrival in 1492 as the beginning of more than 500 years of European - whitemen oppression.
An article entitled "Christopher Columbus is no Hero" written by Joel Helfrich and published on October 9, 2017 in the website CounterPunch gives us more insight into the criminal nature of Christopher Columbus. Joel Helfrich thinks that Christopher should be judged in history as a criminal and not commemorated as a hero by whitemen. Below I quote a few paragraphs of his long essay on the crimes of Christopher Columbus. To get the details please go to CounterPunch for the main story
" What do the following cities and towns—Burbank and Los Angeles, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Oak Park, Illinois; Davenport, Iowa; Portland, Maine; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Farmington, New Mexico; Ithaca, New York; Charlottesville, Virginia; and Edmonds, Washington—have in common?
They have all, within the last month, replaced Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day. In so doing, these municipalities have joined the cities of Denver, Phoenix, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Seattle; the states of Alaska, South Dakota, and Vermont; and various countries in South America that have taken a dramatic first step toward foregrounding the history of Indigenous peoples in the Americas.
Perhaps it is time for other cities, towns, states, counties, businesses, colleges, universities, and school districts throughout the United States to do the same.
Christopher Columbus is not a hero worthy of a national holiday, nor any parades. He is not a hero by fifteenth-century standards, nor twenty-first century standards. Columbus was incompetent and immoral. A self-promoting opportunist, he set out to find people to conquer and convert to his own religious dogma. In fact, he misinterpreted and created his own version of Christianity. He was truly a supporter of colonialism and all that goes along with it—rape, murder, enslavement, warfare, violence, control, conquest, and, yes, genocide."
Recent callous behaviour of Trump and his Republican and Democrat congressmen total indifferent attitude to the hurricane disaster in Puerto Rico and the threat by Trump to regime change the government of President Maduro of Venezuela prompted me to write this article to remind the world that the suffering of native Americans by white supremacists is hardly over. The United Nation Organisation need to do something proactively to help native Americans and to prevent and forestall any future evil acts by Trump and his white supremacists against the interest of the natives in all the Americas.

Must say Your Call is far too late, however, it is a good reminder to the Current Sovereign to be aware of the Inherent Evils of the Crusaders and Jihadists who are bent on wanting to create the World into Christiandom or Caliphate.

So long they are on their missions, the World shall not have peace.

We all read history books written by the Europeans and taught to us as the truth. We adore Christopher Columbus as a national hero, a great man.
KNN, now that the truth is out, many daft Sinkies, especially the bananas, would not accept this truth and probably saying you are lying. They cannot erase their white gods from their stupid memory. The white gods are their gods.
Read this from the above article, 'Joel Helfrich thinks that Christopher should be judged in history as a criminal and not commemorated as a hero by whitemen.'
Many leaders would be judged by history as criminals once they lost their powers. While they are in power, they would write their own history to glorify themselves as the righteous ones, the honourable ones, the heroes, the great leaders.
Wait for history to paint them black.
Daft will believe Conman and woman.
Porlanpa will adulate the power to get favors.
The weakling will side
the terror.
Banana will adore anything white.
Jesus is not white lah. He is asian from middle east.
The catholics used him to create their empire.
All religions and ideologies have two sides.
They are created by elites to manipulate people.
Learn to discern the truth from the lies.
Like fire, it can burn and can give warm.
But play with fire is dangerous.
