White Men's Brutal Carnage Against Native Americans since 1492. PART 3

White men's brutal carnage of native Americans since 12th October,1492              PART          3

White men do no wrong. They always justify their genocidal policy against natives all over the world , their aggression and conquest in the name of Jesus in the truth of their divine bible. They justify their racial supremacy, their economic and political interest and their their territorial aggression and conquest on religious doctrine and ideological basis. That is how white men choose to glorify the heroism of Columbus and his marauding successors as navigators and discoverors and ignore that they were ruthless murderers by saying nothing about their killings and genocide just to justify their evil deeds. It has always been their beliefs that Jesus will wash away their sins.

In the same way USA is justifying its never ending wars of aggression and expansion in the Middle east and all over the world now. USA claims it is all done for the progress and democracy of society. It may be so for white men but for the billions of others in Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and South America it is a sad history of a world of conquest, violence, hunger and exploitation by white men. The natives' countries and society have been uprooted, destabilized and disintegrated.

After Columbus, the killings and genocide of native Americans was carried on further with greater intensity and brutality by the Spaniards, British, France and other European invaders .

What Columbus did to the Arawaks of the Bahamas, Cortes of Spain did to the Aztecs of Mexico, Pizarro also of Spain did to the Incas of Peru and the English settlers of Virginia, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Great Lakes did to the Powhatans, the Pequots, the Iroquois, Mohawks and Cherokees.

When a Spanish armada appeared at Vera Cruz in 1519, the Aztecs of Mexico welcomed Cortes and his men with magnificent hospitality. They did not know that Cortes came with an evil purpose, an obsessive goal to find gold . The king of the Aztecs, Montezuma sent a hundred runners to Cortes, bearing enormous treasures of gold and silver wrought into objects of fantastic beauty and at the same time begged him to leave. However, after taking the gifts, Cortes turned on the Aztecs and killed them all.

Cortes then looked for further plunder of gold by marching his men from town to town in a trail of blood and killings. His killings were carried out deliberately and systematically with a strategic purpose to paralyze the will of the population to resist by a sudden frightful massacre. In the province of Cholulu he invited the headman of the Cholulu nation to the City Square. When the Cholulu headman came with thousands of unarmed retainers bearing gifts, Cortes army of Spaniards posted around the square with cannons, muskets, armed with crossbows mounted horsemen massacred them all, down to the last man. Then they looted the city and moved on to other towns and villages continuing their same macabre evil deeds. When their cavalcade of murder and massacre was over they were in Mexico City. They had already murdered Montezuma and the shattered Aztec Civilization was under Spaniards full control.

In Peru, another Spanish conqueror, Pizarro used the same tactic and strategy for the same reasons, the frenzy in Europe for gold, slaves and for products of the land to pay the bondholders and stockholders of the expeditions to finance the monarchical bureaucracies rising in Western Europe.

In the North American English colonies the pattern of conquests, murder and killings was repeated and with even more callous cruelty. In 1585, Richard Grenville landed in Virginia with seven ships. Just like all other natives, the Indian natives of Virginia were kind and hospitable. But soon Grenville found excuses to kill them and to sack and burn Indian villages.

The British set up James town inside the territory of an Indian confederacy under the Chief Powhatan. Powhatan watched the British occupied his land with a very cooling posture. In the winter months of 1610, Powhatan gave refuge to some British settlers who were starving. But when summer came the governor of the colony asked Powhatan to return the runaways. The runaways refused to go back to the colony. This gave the governor the excuse to attack the Indians. His men attacked Indian settlements, killing all the Indians, burned their houses and crops and took the queen of the tribe and her children into their boats. They then threw the children overboard to be drowned . Later the queen was stabbed to death.

As years go by the English settlements grew by leaps and mounts. The British government had rounded up all the convicts and low class squalid British commoners to settle in America.

The British who were unable to enslave the natives and unable to live with them then decided to exterminate them.  Very often they feigned to give a peaceful hand and just as Indians thought they feel safe, the British would attack them with brutality, killing as many Indians as possible and burning their crops and houses. This kind of massacre would go on for years to come and continued by USA later with even greater ferocity and cruelty.

In 1607 a Powhatan chief had appealed to the British not to attack and take things by force since the natives were willing to give whatever the British demanded for including food and supplies. He advised the British to take away their guns and swords or else the British would die in the same manner.

However, the British took no heed of the warning. Each new year would see more and more British settlers . When the Pilgrims came to New England they tried to displace the Indian tribes of their land. The governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, John Winthrob created the excuse to take Indian land through fraud and deceit and often cited the Holy Bible to justify their land grabbing and massacre. They often and always quoted the Bible, Psalms Chapter 2, Verse 8 and Romans, Chapter 13, Verse 2, claiming their conquests and killings were all sanctioned by their God.

The Puritans never ceased to attack the natives. When the natives fought back and killed a white man, punitive expeditions were sent to attack the Narrogansett Indians on Block Islands. Governor Winthrob then ordered the massacre of the Indians both the Pequots and the Narrogansetts. The Indians at Block Islands did not realize that the white men were there to kill them and so they came to the shore to cheer and greet them with gifts. By the time they realized it many of them were killed.

The Indians fought back fiercely against great odds of white men's guns and swords. So the wars with the Indians began. It was sheer massacre of the natives. The English developed a tactic of warfare used earlier by Cortes and continued to use it even more systematically later in the 19th and 20th Century. There were deliberate attacks on noncombatants for the purpose of terrorising the enemy into submission. ( Tactics now use by USA  in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria in mass bombings by drones and bombers. ) Captain John Mason would avoid head on battle with brave Indian warriors. He would rather destroy the Indians' will to fight by burning the villages and their crops. Mason had determined that massacre would be his objective. Those Indians that escaped the fire were slain with the sword, some hewed to pieces, others ran through with their rapiers to instant death and none or very few could escape. The English thus killed not less than a thousand Indians each time they conducted their attacks on Indian villages. They would then praise their God for working so wonderfully for them to destroy the enemies and thus gave them a speedy victory over the proud and insulting Indians.

The Indians however continued the fight against the British, realizing too late that the white men were intent on taking their lands and killing them. The terrified Indians could offer no resistance with their primitive weapons .

Another white men's dirty tactic was to use one native tribe against another native tribe so that they could never join forces to fight the English. In this way the English had an easy fray to take down all the Indians. ( NB: Just as USA now is using other countries to fight against each other like the Arabs in the Middle East, the Koreans, Japanese, China, Vietnam and the Philippines. )

The terrified Indians soon realized three lessons from the Pequot War " ( 1 ) that the English men's most solemn pledge would be broken whenever obligation conflicted with advantage, ( 2 ) that the English way of war had no limit of scruple or mercy and ( 3 ) that weapons of Indian making were almost useless against weapons of European manuafacture."

Forty years after the Pequot War the English attacked another Indian tribe, the Wampanoags of Massachusetts Bay. They began a war of conquest against the Wampanoags to take their land claiming it to be a defensive war though they were clearly the aggressors without cause. The English objective was the complete annihilation  of the millions of natives living to the north of Mexico.They feigned good will by presenting to some Indian chiefs blankets. These blankets however belonged to English patients who had died of small pox. However, the unsuspecting Indians did not know it. Before long small pox was to devastate the Indian population by the thousands.

The only reason behind the English invasion of North America, their massacre of Indians, their deception and their brutality was the extreme greed for other people's land. Their greed for land had transformed them into the barbarous murder of whole people.  NB: ( USA is killing the Arabs in the Middle East for oil and gas, and stirring and provoking trouble in the South China Sea hoping to take total control of the oil and gas in the region. )

The horrible bloodshed and deceit from Columbus to Cortes, Pizarro and the English puritans had shown the most savage brutality and instinct of white men in their insatiable appetite for aggression and conquest of other people's land and their determination to subject other people to their total domination.

This is what we see happening now all over the world, when USA in similar brutal behaviour and savagery is attacking other countries and killing millions all in the name of human rights, democracy and divine rights sanction by their God. It is all just a smokescreen, a camouflage to cover the evil intention to bring all countries in the world under One World Government under  USA total control, domination and hegemony.

The massacre and annihilation of the natives of North America was continued by USA after its independence from England and it was intensified and became more brutal than ever. From 1775 to the present  time , no less than 85 million native Americans were massacred without any scruples by USA. Now there are hardly more than 50,000 native American Indians left in the whole of North America.

European genocidal policy was white men's excuse for progress. Actually it is merely greed, power crazy and a false sense of racial superiority and religious divinity that they rationalize their irrationality  that they did nothing wrong in their atrocities, murder, genocide and conquests by force against other people.

CPF is not your money, or is it your money?

This is a comment posted in a thread in TRE.

‘oxygen:

CPF IS NOT OUR MONEY as we have been told in the political dog house – is it not true that our CPF – being part of our reserves – HAVE ALREADY BEEN SQUANDERED ALREADY?

And the enhanced nomination scheme for CPF aims to squander the CPF savings of surviving next generation?

WE ARE NOT FOOLS – bar the 70% TOO STUPID TO EVEN KNOW THEY ARE STUPID’

 

Many in the know could not forget the clever NMP who uttered this in Parliament. Pardon me, I could not remember her name, but we all know who she is.

If I could remember, after she uttered this remark, that the CPF is not the people’s money, not exactly and she justified that some parts of the CPF contributions were contributed by the employers, and with her legal trained logic, she declared the CPF is not the people’s money.

Was there a thunderous applause after she said this? I am not sure but I think everyone on the side of the majority in govt had a wide grin on their faces, and nodding their heads happily. Never mind why or what they were grinning at. I could remember one very important thing,no one spoke or sought clarification after this remark to confirm if the CPF is the people’s money or not. Correct me if I am mistaken.

Do you think every Singaporean ought to know, want to know what is the govt’s stand on this, whether the govt agreed or disagreed with her? Don’t you think the govt owed the people an explanation on this utterance, whether it is true or false? Never mind if it does not matter, that the people still has no control over their CPF money and legislations can be introduced to do whatever with their CPF money without their consent. I can understand, and I know, many of you have already resigned to the fate that the CPF money is not your money and did not want to say or do anything. It is water under the bridge. Too late.

Would any MP want to revisit this matter,  to question this loose utterance and demand the govt to take a stand, to explain to the people whether the CPF is the people’s money, the money of the CPF account holders, the people’s savings, the people’s coffin money?

Or is it not important anymore, overtaken by events, the reality of the CPF being legislated away to buy MedishieldLife and to be stuck in the minimum sums said it all? No need to bother?

Anyway daft Sinkies do not bother anymore. So what is the point?

Only in this country where the people saved a life time for retirement and when they are expected to withdraw their money for retirement, they found that it could not be done. And the best part, they accepted it as part and parcel of life, even a good thing.

White men's brutal carnage against native Americans. PART 2

White men's brutal carnage against native American Indians. PART 2

You will naturally cringe and feel angry and revulsive at the white men's wild rampage, savage greed and uncontrolled brutal carnage against the friendly innocent and defenseless natives of America.

The European life and death crusades against the Arab muslim jihadists in the Dark Ages of 1095 to 1297 were mutually savage with no quarters given. But at least they were both armed and fighting for the supremacy of their insidious religious faith and doctrine.

The natives of America were innocent and yet white men killed them most brutally and savagely without cause or reason. The killings and murders were justified in their divine faith of Christian doctrine and ideology and in their ravacious greed for other people's land, gold, silver and other resources of the soil. They would repeat their evil actions and killings to the natives of Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Asia.

When Columbus and his men landed in Bahamas the native Arawak men and women emerged from their villages and ran to the island beaches to greet them. They brought them food , water and gifts. Columbus realized that the natives did not bear arms and soon evil thoughts crept into his mind. He told his men, " With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want." He did subsequently carried out all the evil things he intended to do.

He took some of the natives of Bahamas by force and ordered them to give him information where to find the source of their gold for the native Arawaks were wearing tiny gold ornaments in their ears and necks.

He took some Arawaks as prisoners in his ship because he wanted them to guide him to the source of gold. He sailed to Cuba and Hispaniola ( now Haiti and the Dominican Republic ).

In Hispaniola he confiscated a gold mask from a local Indian chief. The gold mask gave him and his men wild visions of gold fields. He built a fort in Hispaniola, Fort Navidad and left 39 of his men to take charge and to find gold and store it. Then he took more native prisoners and got into a fight with some of the natives who refused to hand over to him their bows and arrows ( made of cane ). He and his men ran their swords through them and killed them.

Then with two other ships the Nina and Pinta he sailed back to Spain. At the court in Madrid he gave an extravagant grandiose report of rich gold findings in rivers and other great gold and silver mines and also many spices. It was a fake report to extort more investments from the Spanish government and the rich elites. He was full of religious talk to to impress the queen and the court: "Thus the eternal God , our Lord, gives victory to those who follow His way over apparent impossibilities." He then asked the court majesties for help so that he would bring to the queen and the court more gold and slaves in the next voyage. In his second expedition he was given 17 ships and more than 1200 men.

In the Caribbean they went from island to island to look for gold and capture more Indians as captives. While he was away his men at Fort Nivadad ransacked Indian villages for gold and captured women for sex and children for labour.

In Haiti Columbus found no gold fields.In 1495 he captured 1500 Arawak men, women and children and put them in pens guarded by Spaniards and dogs. He selected 500 best of them and loaded them in his ships. In the journey to Spain 200 died enroute and were thrown overboard. In Madrid the remainder 300 were put up by the archdeacon for sale. Columbus then declared,"Let us in the name of The Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold."

In his third expedition Columbus and his men ordered all natives from 14 years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every 3 months. When they brought in gold they were given  copper tokens  to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.

The natives had been given an impossible task. So they fled and were hunted down with dogs and were killed. The Arawaks then resisted the Spaniards who had armour, muskets, swords and horses. When the Spaniards took prisoners they hanged them or burned them to death. Facing against impossible odds the Arawaks began mass suicides through poison and killed their infants to save them from the Spaniards. In two years through murder, mutilation or suicide, half of the 250,000 Indians on Haiti were dead.

As there was no gold to be found, the Indians were taken as slave labour on huge estates and forced to work at a ferocious pace that they died by the thousands, By 1515 only about 50,000 Indians were left. By 1550, there were about 500 and by 1650 there were none of the Arawaks or their descendants left on the island of Hispaniola or Haiti.

The chief source of information of Columbus and Spanish cruelty was from a young priest, Bartolome de Las Casas who participated in the conquest of Cuba but who soon found the cruelty towards the natives too great to fathom and so he became a vehement critic of Spanish cruelty. He wrote a multivolume history of the Indies describing Indians as gentle and peaceful. He condemned Columbus and the Spaniards for their exasperating demand, their ravage and killings and mangle and destruction. The Spaniards had total control of the Indians which led to total cruelty. They thought of nothing of knifing Indians by tens and hundreds and cutting slices of them to test the sharpness of their blades. Casa described how two Christian Spaniards confiscated two parrots from two Indian boys and then for the fun of it beheaded the boys.

Whenever the Indians attempted to defend themselves failed they would run off to the hills. The Spaniards would pursue them and killed them. Columbus and the Spanish conquerors were very systematic in killing the natives. According to a Harvard historian, Samuel Eliot Morison, "The cruel policy initiated by Columbus and pursued by his successors resulted in complete genocide."

Elected Presidency – Another worm just crawl out of the can

Read this comment from TRE by a Dinners are just Dinners.

October 11, 2016 at 8:57 pm  Dinners are just dinners(Quote)

Latest is that for the new EP rules there will only be 3 racial categories instead of the usual 4 based on C-M-I-O. Those classified as Others will be lumped together with Indians.

How does this work? ‘Indian and Other’ category: If there is no Indian or Eurasian President after the late S R Nathan (Term 1999-2011) for the next 4 EP terms, the Indians and Eurasians will be guaranteed a contest among themselves. Could be I-vs-I, or I-vs-E or E-vs-E. Likely I-vs-I mostly.

This is somehow ridiculous. How does being Eurasian Singaporean or European Singaporean or Arab Singaporean suddenly – by a stroke of a pen – mean they should be classifiable in the same category as Indians now called ‘Indian/Others’?

How can you just lump them all together in the same category??
This is all political convenience, and has nothing to do with respecting Eurasians or ‘Others’

I really do not know whose clever idea is this. Now the Eurasians are going to create a storm. What about us? Why are we now part of the Indian category? We have had Benjamin Sheares and hoping and waiting for the next Eurasian to be the EP. This is going to be near impossible with this change and the lumping of Eurasians together with the Indians is as good as saying no more Eurasian EP. Is this fair to the Eurasian community? Don’t ask me, I am not Eurasian and I cannot claim to empathise with their feelings and emotions even if I said I understand their plight. Only the Eurasians would know and feel slighted or do not mind. No freaks non Eurasian can speak up on their behalf.

Should the govt use the ‘going to be created committee’ to decide on this? Or should a COI be instituted to study on the feelings of the Eurasians?

I think the Indians would not be unhappy as there are many talented Indians in high places that would easily win an EP election hands down and there could actually be Indian EPs one after another. Would that prompt a call by the Chinese majority to call for a special EP election just for a Chinese to be represented as the EP after 30 years when no Chinese is elected?  Are the new changes going to provide for this too, that if after a lapse of 30 years and no Chinese EP has been elected, then the majority Chinese also will get a second chance?

I have to stray away from the feelings and emotions of the Indians for having to accept the Eurasian/Others as part of their category as I have full confidence that many Indians would be elected to be EP by the silly ‘racist’ Chinese.  Oh, while on this subject, are children of part Indian and part Chinese or part Europeans or Others be classified as Indians and thus counted as Indian EP? The Indians have no fear and would not need to have to depend on this special clause to protect minority rights. It is the Eurasians that may be compromised together with the rest of the minorities lumped under Others.

I also worry for the Chinese majority that there could be a time when no Chinese would be elected over a long period as I don’t believe the Chinese are racist. They have proven many times, over the years, to happily and willingly vote for minorities to represent them. Now so many Chinese are even asking for Tharman to be PM.

So let’s forget and ignore the Chinese are racist myth until proven otherwise. Just watch what would happen if it is true that Eurasians/Others would be lumped together with the Indians and how this worm would crawl all over the place.

Any MP want to ask questions in Parliament but has no idea what to ask may ask if this is true and how it would affect the feelings of the Eurasians?

Duterte has opened the eyes of the Pinoys

The Philippines did not gain anything from being the running dog of the American Empire. The Philippines paid the price of compromising its sovereignty with American bases and soldiers in the country. The Philippines have to sign military alliances and conduct war games, joint patrols, to provoke another country, risking wars for its people. What did the Philippines gain, one antique warship destined for the museum?

What did the Americans gain, a foothold in Asian for their soldiers, weapons and military installations to maintain military supremacy and world hegemony at little cost and at the expense of the Philippines.

The big question is who needs who more? Is China going to invade the Philippines? Bull.  It is the Americans that benefited for harping the fear and from the arrangement, with the Philippines as their running dog, to bolster the pivot to Asia, for the sake of the Empire.

Should not the Philippines be demanding for a ransom for hosting the military bases and risking a war with China? How much value is the Philippines’ contribution to the American Empire and how much the Philippines are losing for becoming an American military base, the first target to be hit if war broke out between China and the USA?

Finally Duterte has opened the eyes of the Pinoys and the raw deal they are in. They have been taken for a ride. Nobody is going to attack the Philippines. Why become a stooge of the Americans for the reward of a few museum pieces?

Independence is priceless. Why should the Philippines compromise its independence to become a military base for the American Empire? Why?

This applies to the other Asian and Asean states. The Japanese and South Koreans have no choice. They are semi colonies of the Empire. The Americans are in control militarily and would not leave. They are the frontline states of the Empire, the first to be attacked and the first to be destroyed, with all the military bases as prime targets.

The Philippines had chased the American colonialists out of their country before. Why would the Philippines, so proud of their independence, now so willing to be a semi colony of the American Empire again?

What about the other Asian and Asean states? Why are they providing bases to the Americans and barking for the Americans without extracting a heavy price from the Americans? It is the Americans that are desperately in need of military bases here to maintain their military supremacy, to project their military power. The Americans should pay a heavy price for the privilege of stationing their soldiers and weapons in another country, compromising their national security and independence, not the other way.  The Asian and Asean countries should not be so stupid not to know the value of their compromising act, to allow foreign troops on their territories. But many stupidly believe that they would be invaded and must invite the Americans into their soil. Ask the neighbouring countries of China if they have been invaded by China? 

The only Asian country that is suffering from this delusion is India, everyday worrying about a Chinese invasion. What a joke! For the rest of independent Asian and Asean countries, why become cronies of the Empire when they could stand tall as independent nations? However, stupidity has no cure. Some of the stupids are worrying about being invaded by China and North Korea.
