Not-So-Friendly Indians Open Thread

Lot of claims today that Christopher Columbus has been genetically tested and was a Sephardic Jew.

I just saw this last week when I googled for Christopher Columbus. The conspiracy theory goes like this: Columbus's name was not, of course, Columbus. It was Christobal Colon.


But why then do we call him Christopher Columbus? Supposedly, "Colon" is a name with "Jewish roots." That's vague and I don't know what that means.

But anyway Spain, which financed his exploratory venture, was antisemitic and would expel all the Jews out of Spain just as Columbus reached the Bahamas, and I guess they wanted to hide the fact that they were financing a mission led by a Jew, so they called him "Christopher Columbus."

Or so they say. I don't know if I believe this.

Here's the Epoch Times on the genetic testing claims.

Christopher Columbus was Jewish, according to DNA extracted from his remains in Seville Cathedral.

The outcome of a long scientific investigation was revealed on primetime national television on Spain's national day on Saturday.

The ethnic identity of the 15th-century explorer, whose expeditions opened the way for Europeans to colonise the Americas, has long been debated.

As a Sephardic Jew he would have suffered persecution, and historians have surmised that this contributed to the mystery of his origins.

Scientists examined the bones of Columbus and of his son, Hernando. "Both in the 'Y' chromosome and in the mitochondrial chromosome of Hernando, there are traits compatible with Jewish origins," said José Antonio Lorente, professor of legal and forensic medicine at the University of Granada.

The findings -- the culmination of 20 years of research -- put to rest the most popular theory that Columbus was an Italian sailor from Genoa, as textbooks have stated for centuries.

Columbus's DNA reveals a "western Mediterranean" origin, according to the professor who said that he could not state categorically which country or region.

Francesc Albardaner, a historian who has studied Columbus and refuted the theory of his Genoese origins, said his research pointed to Columbus being of a silk-spinning family from Valencia.

Anyway, did you ever hear about how peaceful the Indians were and how we taught them War?

That's what Kamala Harris claims:

The reality was that Indians, like all peoples, were waging war on each other well before Europeans came along to Teach Evil to Them.

Some real Friendly Indians -- the full "I Know You Know" song from Psych.

Note this is a little screwy because they spliced in the second verse of the song, but from a different recording. It's not in the shortened version of the song they recorded for the show.

I don't know why they didn't just record the shortened theme song and the full song with the second verse, for possible release as a single. I mean, you're right there! in the studio. Spend an extra half hour recording the second verse!

The did a single-length version of "Believe It Or Not" and that was a hit. Though I don't know if they did the extra material when they did the theme song, or later went back to the studio to record an extra verse and a middle eight. I kind of dig the instrumental part.

In 1891, the largest single mass lynching in American history was perpetrated in New Orleans against Italian immigrants. In response to the lynching, President Benjamin Harrison established Columbus Day in 1892 to honor the victims and celebrate Italian American contributions to the country. So you obviously do have a problem with Italian Americans or you would have just changed to name to Italian immigrants day and not erase it completely!!! You're disgusting on so many levels!!!!

Columbus is a Latinization of Colon, It is what you did when you got rich and famous.

Colon is also considered a minor Catalan noble family apparently, and of course Valencia was the province in Spain that resisted the whole cleansing of muslims and Jews, and even had a few rebellions against Spanish rule. Of other myths of the area, Ruy Vivar, also known as El Cid was lord of Valencia until he was killed.

In Spain, previously, the argument was that Columbus was illegitimate from a Catalan noble and a Jewish mother, probably from Ibiza. It explained a number of things that a Genoese birth did not match.

Columbus’ body was handled more time than a tube of lube at a P Diddy party. We call that a chain of custody, for which there isn’t one. They don’t even know if this is indeed his remains. What we do know is who his parents were. Why isn’t that mentioned? You know, real genealogy.

It’s like the apostates, fake scientists and atheists who told us the Shroud of Turin wasn’t an image of Jesus, until it was.

By the way, you want a day for natives? Good, go get one and then get it to be a federal holiday. Stop trying to steal this day from the Italians. That doesn’t end well for you assholes, I can assure you.

The 2009 work of non-fiction, co-authored with Joan O’C Hamilton was, per Wikipedia, “[f]irst published as Harris (then the San Francisco district attorney) was beginning her 2010 campaign for California Attorney General” and “outlines her vision of how the criminal justice system should function.“

Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) at October 14, 2024 06:14 PM (dhiHa)

The vast majority of the devastation came not from open warfare, but diseases that came with the Spanish that natives had no defense against. Previous attempts to land in North America had been driven off, but the year before the Pilgrims landed, much of North America died from an epidemic (smallpox, IIRC). There's estimates that it may have been up to 97%.

Squanto chose to live with the Pilgrims because he was the only survivor out of all of the local villages. He had nowhere else to go.

181 The Comanche were brutal and pretty much every tribe hated them and their constant raping and pillaging.

The Kiowa were also always at war with the other tribes in the area.

The Karankawa practiced cannibalism. Oh but it was just "ritual" cannibalism the leftwing academics will say.

And that's just some of what was going on in what's now Texas.

The Kiowa were so warlike that towns were lent cannons to defend themselves from raids...

...which ended up resulting in the first battle of the Texas Revolution, when Santa Ana's henchmen tried to take back such a cannon as part of his being an all-around usurping totalitarian douche.

182 Based on everything I've read on the subject, they had a concept of the wheel; archaeologists have found children's toys that included it. But they didn't use it on a practical level, largely because they had so few draft animals to pull vehicles (wheeled or otherwise) with.

I believe it is very important that Kamala Harris pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility. Her actions have led many to believe that there could be something very wrong with her. Even 60 Minutes and CBS, in order to protect Lyin’ Kamala, illegally and unscrupulously replaced an answer she had given, which was totally “bonkers,” with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked. Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions. We just went through almost four years of that, we shouldn’t have to do it again!

A delicious and sick burn that I encountered at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM

The term "pueblo" means "village" in Spanish. Early Pueblo people lived in pit houses or homes partially dug into the earth, which were entered by ladder through a hole at the top of the pit. As our communities thrived and grew, we built larger stone structures including those at Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon. Later we developed adobe bricks and used these to build individual homes as well as entire Pueblo communities. Today, however, many Pueblo people live in low quality U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) homes.

America was built in the image of the pioneer, the explorer, and the frontiersman.

That began with Christopher Columbus.

Columbus was the first expression of the American spirit—a spirit that would go on to conquer continents, build empires, and send men to the moon. 🧵

Of all the heroes in our history, Christopher Columbus is the subject of the fiercest and most bitter leftist attacks.

That's because he matters—not just as a man, but as a symbol.

Columbus was—and is—an American archetype. The war over his legacy isn't about him—it's about us.

Columbus represented the dynamic, heroic, expansionist spirit that distinguished the West—the spirit that poured out from Europe's shores to conquer the globe.

He was the vehicle that carried that spirit to the New World.

America—our country—was conceived and born in its image.

I recommend reading Prescott's "History of the Conquest of Mexico," if you haven't already. It has a lot on Cortes' relations with the Tlaxcala and other tribes, and makes no bones about the fact that those guys repeatedly saved the conquistadors from total destruction.

251 My understanding of the Columbus story is that is family were Jews forced to convert. They did so but then left for Italy. Columbus himself was a Christian. He originally offered his services to Portugal and they declined* then he went to Spain.

*Because Portugal quite possibly had already found Brazil by 1492.

The Comanche came down from the hills when they mastered riding horses and killed everyone in sight and stole their lands, Indian or white. If you really want to be grossed out, read what their women, who were in charge of torture, did to the women and children they captured.

260 The term "pueblo" means "village" in Spanish. Early Pueblo people lived in pit houses or homes partially dug into the earth, which were entered by ladder through a hole at the top of the pit. As our communities thrived and grew, we built larger stone structures including those at Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon. Later we developed adobe bricks and used these to build individual homes as well as entire Pueblo communities. Today, however, many Pueblo people live in low quality U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) homes.

266 The Comanche carried out a war of extermination against the Apaches starting as early as the 18th century, ultimately driving them into the deserts of New Mexico, Arizona and Northern Mexico.

Also, one reason that a relative handful of Spaniards was able to conquer the Aztecs was that the latter were hated by their oppressed neighbors who eagerly allied themselves with the Spanish invaders.

286 Columbus himself was a Christian. He originally offered his services to Portugal and they declined* then he went to Spain.

Columbus couldn't get any traction among the crowned heads because he had this notion that the Earth was actually much smaller than was understood at the time (and the generally accepted figures were pretty accurate). This was the basis of his belief that a ship of the day would have the range to reach Asia. (In reality, no ship of that time could have crossed the roughly 14,000-mile span from Europe to Asia.)

Only Ferdinand and Isabella were willing to kick a few bucks at him and his crackpot scheme. They became very well-rewarded for it, but not because he turned out to be right.

I think germ theory didn't take hold as a real theory until the end of the 1800s. Before that it was all miasmas and humors, and bloodletting and leeches. But they did understand primitive vaccines, they could vaccinate people against smallpox in the 1700s. John and Abigail Adams vaccinated their kids, scarring their daughter's face for life but protecting her from catching it.

318 The links I saw said Columbus could have been a Jew, but all they were fairly sure of is he was from west Europe.

"Christopher" sounds rather Christian ... lineage isn't everything. Is it really logical to think only those of the Jewish lineage are "God's People"? imo even the old testament would say lineage was not the only thing ... it was faithfulness to God ... as in faithfulness to the scripture.

Is there currently one "Man of God" for Jews today? I should know that, but really don't. OT it seemed there was often one prophet, one man of God. In any case, Christians have one Father God, one Lord Jesus, our brother. There is no more Jew and Gentile.

I like that better than "chosen ones by bloodline" everyone else an "infidel". Christianist was an upgrade, cultures advance. just my viewpoint.

325 The Inquisition in Spain was not established until 1478, and it had to be by order of the secular authorities (the monarchs). Interestingly, the dreaded Grand Inquisitor, Torquemada, was reputed to have been of Jewish descent.

If there are any polls I don't know about them, but I expect we're way behind. The Dems outnumber Republicans 2 to 1.
I have to get a laugh-in a way-of all the events the Democrat Mayor (who's running again) is doing in the next two weeks. Sometime this week the Mayor is going to have an event with adults and children on crossing safety so that people will cross at the crosswalks. Perhaps it did not occur to the Mayor that we would not have this problem if there was not so much building and if people could read the signs in English. (sigh)

327 >>> 309 >>> 258 No one had discovered germs during the whole small pox blanket era.

I think germ theory didn't take hold as a real theory until the end of the 1800s. Before that it was all miasmas and humors, and bloodletting and leeches. But they did understand primitive vaccines, they could vaccinate people against smallpox in the 1700s. John and Abigail Adams vaccinated their kids, scarring their daughter's face for life but protecting her from catching it.

Also recommended: Miguel Leon-Portilla, Vision de los vencidos which is translated (again) into "The Broken Spears". I say "again" because Leon-Portilla had translated these chronicles from Nahuatl into Spanish.
[Apparently it's also been translated into Otomi, which is what the Valley of Mexico spoke before they got conquered and colonised by the *checks notes* Nahua-speakers. Um.]
Anyway, it is full of stories about how even Mesoamerica had rules about international diplomacy, like "don't murder diplomats" but also how various assholes running the cities didn't follow their own rules.

Wouldn't Papal inquisitors have authority over everyone ? So any judges appointed to trace heretics had reach far and wide ? Like the ones appointed by Gregory IX ? Maybe things got so busy in Spain that the needed it localized to take care of the Jews and the Moors ? My point is , the inquisitors existed a few centuries before 1480.

354 Wouldn't Papal inquisitors have authority over everyone ?

Technically, the Inquisition had no authority over Jews; however, it went after many conversos - Jews who had converted to Christianity - who were suspected of lapsing into Jewish practices. Naturally, much of this suspicion was driven by the envy and greed of non-Jews, and ultimately, Torquemada convinced the sovereigns (leaning mostly on Queen Isabella, who was known for her zealotry) to expel the Jews from Spain.

Interesting, but a little too much like Islamists and their twelfth imam thang. I mean, that some mysterious powers are in control, some secret society. I prefer a more open acknowledgment of who our "leaders" are.

OT God had men known to be His leaders, not some mysterious underground society. Catholicism has a clear Pope, yet their popes are so often corrupt, or fully commie like the current one. Jesus Christ as a spiritual Lord, but on a spiritual plane ... that can work ... does work.

359 Re "grow the economy" -- exactly why would a post-industrial, information-based economy, such as that of the US, with ever-greater automation, robots performing repetitive and menial tasks, and heavy machinery performing all the heavy lifting, need a growing work force?
