They failed, but in 1492, Columbus set sail for India to gain enough wealth for the capture of Jerusalem. He failed and the Protestant Revolution occurred. Britain inherited Columbus's objectives (i.e. India, East India Company, etc). 425 years later, in 1917 during the World War 1, the Protestant Church of England British Empire colonised Palestine, when General Allenby declared: `Today the Crusades have ended'. In 1948, the real power behind the Church and Empire took over Palestine. Naval Crusade In the 15th century, Europeans began making oceanic voyages of discovery. What is remarkable is that they ever started at all, soon after the Black Death in which one-third of the population died. Very quickly, these voyages led to the outright economic and political domination of the whole world. Why were Europeans the only ones to discover and conquer the world, even though the Church had lied to them, that the earth was flat and if anyone sailed too far, they would fall into Hell ? They were not only inward-looking, illiterate and misguided but oppressed by the Church by being victims themselves to Inquisitions, Witch-hunts and charges of heresies. How is it possible for a society with such characteristics to even dream about discovering, AND conquering the World ? The fact is, the very institution that misguided its followers, also sent them on another Crusade - a NAVAL Crusade in the guise of explorers and traders. Just over 500 years have elapsed since the beginning of European encroachment into the Old (Africa and India) and New World (Americas). The origins of colonialism, racism, capitalism (stealing and exploitation), globalisation, slavery (free labour) and 'Business Administration' can be traced back to 1455 when the Pope put out an announcement (`papal bull') authorising Catholics to "reduce to servitude all infidel people". In 1457, the Council of Cardinals met in Holland where they sanctioned, as a righteous and progressive idea, the enslavement of black Africans for the purpose of their conversion to Christianity and to be exploited in the labour market as chattel property. This scheme gained the sanctimonious blessing of the Pope and became a standard policy of the Vatican, and later of Protestant churches. [3]. A bull of Pope Nicholas 5th instructed his followers to `attack, subject, and reduce to perpetual slavery the Pagans and other enemies of Christ' [pg. 31, 56]. Two nations actively took up the bidding of the Vatican: 1. SPAIN. In 1492, Christopher Columbus sailed to the WEST. 2. PORTUGAL - In 1497, Vasco da Gama sailed to the EAST. Many people assume that the primary reason for these events was economics. HIS story books openly talk of the evils of slavery, racism, economic exploitation, etc but this has been done to conceal the truth. For example, only by World War 2, when the British empire was in terminal decline, did trade between Britain and its colonies reach a peak of 35% of all British trade. So much for imperialism being the handmaid of mercantilist capitalism [98]. Prior to secularism, religion played a dominant role in all civilisations : Ancient Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Indians, etc. The concept of secularism is approximately 200 years old. It is more appropriate to interpret historical events using the religious reference frame, and not the secular or economic reference frame. SPAIN Spain had been under Moorish rule since 711. However, since the beginning of the Crusades, the Moors had been losing territory in quick succession. Having launched Inquisitions in France and Italy, the Church extended it to Spain in 1481 to kill or forcibly convert the Moors. On 2nd January, 1492, the last Moorish foothold in Spain, Granada was finally overrun. The Spanish monarchy then appointed Columbus `to go by way of the WEST to INDIA'. He set sail in the name of the Trinity from the harbour of Palos on 3rd August, 1492. He sailed down the West coast of Africa to some outlying islands, then straight across the Atlantic Ocean. On the very first page of his diary, Columbus states his objectives: 'go to the lands of India to meet the Great Khan, who like his predecessors, had many times appealed to Rome to instruct him in Christianity; to combat the religion of the Moors and all idolatries and heresies; see the towns and lands and their distribution, and find out in what manner they might be converted to Christianity'. He also wrote that he intends to find gold, spices and everything in such quantity, for all the wealth gained in the enterprise, within three years, should be spent by Spain on the conquest of Jerusalem [12]. Eight months later, Columbus discovered the West Indies (San Salvador) [13]. Various writers have pointed out, of West African and Moorish traders in the Americas prior to the Europeans [2 & 3] (very likely as they were not handicapped by their religion about the world being 'flat'). It is also probable that the aim of the Spanish Conquistadors was to take over Atlantic trade routes and anhilate any native American who had been in contact with non-Europeans. By 1500, a number of royal marriages took place linking the Spanish monarchy and conquests with that of Hapsburg possessions in Austria, Germany and Holland. Spain became a global empire, stretching from Vienna to Peru! Charles 5th, who held more than 60 royal titles declared: `in my realm the sun never sets'. The Church which often arranged these royal marriages began to think a universal Christian empire had at last been achieved. [Pg. 30, 1]. PORTUGAL The destruction of Spain was planned, to ensure that Moors from Africa could not assist their co-religionists in Spain. With two year's preparation and a papal bull, a Crusade was launched in 1415 against Ceuta, a Moorish stronghold and trading centre on the African side opposite to Gibraltar. A Portuguese Armada, well armed and armoured, and supported by a contingent of English archers overwhelmed Ceuta within a day. [ref] The Portuguese set out with the intention of uniting the Christian forces of Europe with those of Africa, namely Ethiopia in an all out war against the Moors and make their statelet into a vast African-Indian empire, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean and bigger than the continent of Europe. To achieve this the Church had given the Portuguese organisational skills and uninhibited unagressivness to go forth to conquer and dominate. [40]. The early Portuguese were not traders or private adventurers, but admirals with a royal commission to conquer territory and promote the spread of Christianity. [Pg. 404, 25]. In July, 1497, Vasco Da Gama set sail from Lisbon. The Portuguese who sailed with Da Gama were men of the Catholic renaissance and their successors were under the influence of the Counter-Reformation. Culture and religion for them were inextricably mixed [15]. Unlike previous Portuguese expeditions, Da Gama continued sailing further down the West coast of Africa, round the southern tip of Africa and north along the East African coast. With the help of a pilot borrowed from Kenya, Da Gama entered the Indian Ocean [Pg.81, 24]. Da Gama arrived at Calicut in 1498. From the first, Da Gama encountered hostility from the Moors, Arabs and Africans. Da Gama told the first Indians he met on the Malabar coast that he had come to seek `Christians and spices'. A second expedition, under the command of Cabral was despatched in 1500. The sum of his instructions was to begin with preaching, and, if that failed, to proceed to the sharp determination of the sword. On reaching Calicat, Cabral established factories in face of active hostility. In 1502 the king of Portugal obtained from Pope Alexander 6th, a bull making him `lord of navigation, conquest, and trade of Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia and India'. In that year Da Gama sailed again to the East, where off the coast of India, he committed the most frightful act of his career. His fleet overtook a pilgrim ship laden with men, women and children - and, after seizing the treasure it carried, Da Gama set fire and allowed it to burn with all its passengers still aboard. On loading his ships with spices from various ports on the Indian coast, he set sail for home in February 1503, leaving behind him a trail of blood and destruction. In 1524, he was appointed viceroy to India [pg. 49, 64]. =-=-=-=-= Having (ab)USED Spain and Portugal to establish strategic bases and forts in the Americas, Africa, India and South East Asia, skilled and educated Europeans were then needed to hold and expand the frontiers of newly acquired territories and `administer' the resources in these lands, on a scale never seen in history, to ensure the social, economic, political, technological, military and spiritual domination of the world by those who ran the Church. PROTESTANTISM To achieve this, the Church created, financed and organised a New Order, in which a religious reformation, a scientific and economic revolution, simultaneously took place, namely Protestantism, modern science and capitalism respectively. Protestantism began in 1517 by a German Catholic cleric named Martin Luther. Scientifically speaking, the sixteenth century saw the publication of many pieces of astronomical works by Protestants / Lutherans. The Church responded with the Opening of the Council of Trent in 1545 and the Counter-Reformation. In 1582, Pope Gregory 13th replaced the Julian Calendar with the more accurate Gregorian Calendar. Astronomy was the Mother of Discoveries for a Religious, Scientific and Technological Revolution. The invention of the telescope enabled naval crusaders to determine their position at sea using stars. The theological assumption that the earth was at the centre of the universe was replaced with the notion that the Sun was at the centre and central point in planetary motion The mathematical relationship and cosmic mechanical regularity of celestial orbits was replicated in the development of machines. No technological revolution could have ocurred if Europeans continued to believe the sun rotated around the earth [50]. This New Order saw the displacement of Catholic Spain and Portugal by Protestant Britain, Holland (Erasmus), Germany, etc. For example, the Dutch empire expanded at Portuguese expense [32]. Britain expanded at Spanish expense e.g. Francis Drake spent a lifetime destroying and plundering Spanish ships, wreaking havoc with Spain's overseas empire destroying Spanish morale and credit. Closer to home he stormed Cadiz in 1587 destroying thousands of tons of shipping and supplies destined for the Spanish Armada [pg. 16, 103]. However, the foreign policy of the `enlightened and progressive' Protestants was exactly the same as the Catholics, namely the slavery, genocide, theft, Christianisation of non-white, non-Western, non-Christian people, but at increased levels of magnitude and efficiency. Now, educated Europeans could design and build machines, fight wars using mechanised armaments, obey complex orders given by factory managers and military leaders; seize and `cultivate' resources including people (slavery-application of European serfdom overseas); land and commodities (colonialism), and distribute them around the world as inputs to the factories of the Industrial Revolution or as finished products to the colonies. The globalisation of trade in `stolen goods' was sanitised by the term, Capitalism. The trade was financed by the largest owners of capital, namely the Church, and underpinned by Usury, sanitised by the term, Interest. Catholics were taught that indulging in usury was akin to sodomy but the Protestant order was taught no such thing, thereby enabling its quick global implemention, causing so much misery for the masses today. Little wonder that the capitalistic theories of Adam Smith are still popular under neo-colonialism. The phenomenal economic success that followed was attributed to the `Protestant Work Ethic' but really there was nothing ethical about contravening two of the Ten Commandments: Thou Shalt not Steal and Thou Shalt not Kill. Luther's ideas and books rapidly penetrated English universities, the City of London and Royalty [9]. When King Henry 8th broke away from the Church allegedly, he started building Britain's first Navy. The British Empire was built on Naval power - enabling an island to rule one-quarter of the world. The resources that Columbus sought to capture Jerusalem was provided by India. India was the ENGINE of the Empire providing manpower and materials for the Mother Country. The two million man British Indian Army was the largest all-volunteer army ever created in the history of mankind. 40% of the Raj's income went on this army. In 1914, under the guise of Nationalism, World War 1 broke out, in which the British Empire fought Germany, notwithstanding that for over four hundreds years they had been theological (PROTESTANT), military and political allies i.e. British tommies were conscripted and brainwashed into fighting Germany for `king and country', even though since 1714, the monarch was of German descent, namely the House of Hanover. Similarly, the German monarch was Queen Victoria's grandson - Kaiser Wilhelm 2nd. Stranger things were to follow. The Ottomans - an Oriental power joined the European conflict siding with Germany, thereby giving Britain the justification to attack Ottoman territory, that just so happened to include Palestine. The best resources and personnel were deployed on the Eastern Front (Middle East) e.g. General Allenby, T.E. Lawrence who had a degree from Oxford in military history whilst the donkeys were deployed on the Western Front (Somme, Passendale) e.g. General Haig, etc. Western Europe saw 'trench warfare' whilst the East saw rapid flanking attacks to capture massive amounts of Ottoman territory. One of the LAST countries colonised by Britain was Palestine in 1917, when the British Army General entered Jerusalem declaring: `Today the Crusades have ended' [pg. 7, 48] - the JEWEL in the Crown. The never forgotten objective of the Church had finally been achieved, though the cost in lives on the Western Front was horrendous. Soon after, the British Empire started to 'unravel' when a half-naked Indian (Ghandi whose father a Christian!) 'took on' the Empire and demanded Independence. Palestine had been colonised allegedly to protect the trade route to India! Britain had been set up! 1917 also saw the Bolshevik Revolution and the withdrawal of an ally, Russia. America, having recently left the cowboy age for the age of mass production conveniently intervened when things were looking bleak for the Allies. When the War ended, the Great Depression followed which deeply affected Britain, even though it had acquired more territory than before and had a market share of one-quarter of humanity. Capitalism does not work! Germany became bankrupt and demoralised. The Germans being the most intellectual of Europeans (see remarkable recovery from both world wars) realised how they had been (ab)used and sought revenge ('The Final Solution'). In 1939, World War 2 broke out, and again the British Empire fought Germany. Within just 30 years of capturing Palestine, the Empire that claimed `the sun never set in its realm' had come to an abrupt end living on rations, open to counter-colonialism and a colony of its former colony, America. No such large empire ever sank so quickly [pg. xiv, 46]. In the second half of the 20th century, it is America's turn to be ab(USED) to support the occupation of Palestine and oppress and exploit the rest of the world via its multi-nationals, and its abuse of the UN, etc. SECULARISM Europeans made striking technological, industrial and military advances to dominate the World, by studying all known subjects. Having taught these skills, the last thing the Church wanted was for educated Europeans to study the most important subject - RELIGION. If Europeans should study religion, they would discover the TRUTH, because they would research its origins, history and development (and the CHURCH). So the concept of SECULARISM was introduced, i.e. the separation of religion from all aspects of life. The justification for secularism was that Christianity had kept mankind 'backwards'. This is a lie because: 1. The greatest intellectual and technological progress that ever took place in Europe was during the rise of Protestantism AND at former centres of Christian theology e.g. Cambridge and Oxford Universities, whose colleges have religious names: All Souls, Christ Church, Corpus Christi, Jesus, Magdalen, St. John, Trinity; or named after the clerics who financed their construction such as Brasenose, Keble, Merton, Pembroke, Selwyn. Emmanuel College was built in 1584 by the strong Puritan adviser to Queen Elizabeth 1st, Walter Mildmay. [9&18]. 2. Protestants / Puritans / Lutherans accounted for a disproportionate number of academics and scientists at Europe's major centres of education [Pg 46-49, 43]. The scientists who played the most crucial role in aiding Europe's intellectual advancement were Protestants / Lutherans such as Copernicus, Tycho Brahe and Johann Kepler; and so were their keenest supporters (financial backers, printers, publishers, etc) [43 & 50]. 3. Although millions of witches and heretics were killed, there is no recorded incident of a scientist ever being martryred, killed or burned at the stake for pronouncing views that were against Church doctrine [Pg.39, 50]. Persecution of Luther, Galileo, etc merely ensured widespread publicity and propogation of new religious and scientific ideas and views throughout Europe to change the old illiterate and superstitious order. 4. If Christianity was so regressive, why impose it on the natives ? By teaching natives superstitious beliefs about Santa, Easter eggs, cannibalism i.e. bread and wine being the flesh and blood of Christ, Trinity i.e. Christ being God and son of God simultaneously, etc was a sure way of making them backwards. Thus the age of secularism was the greatest age of Christian conversions in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, which were targeted as fields ripe for harvesting; missionary enthusiasm was an enormous reinforcement to imperialism [pg. 313-314, 41]. In the New Secular Order, two large Gothic Cathedrals were built i.e. the House of Lords (for the 1000 or so unelected clergy, royalty, peers, etc) and House of Commons (650 MPs for the commoners) and a replica of St.Peter's Basilica i.e. 'White House', from where Democracy could be practised i.e. 'freely' and 'democratically-elected' 'secular' Western governments, could continue to support the occupation of Palestine in the 20th Century i.e. same old foreign policy and objective of the Vatican from the Dark Ages. Whatever the Orders: Catholicism, Renaissance, Protestantism, Colonialism, Capitalism, Secularism, Democracy, Nationalism, Communism, Cold War, New World Order, etc it is still the same Old Order to occupy Palestine at all costs. - Anonymous =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Questions, Comments, Bitches, Ideas, Rants, Death Threats, Submissions = = Mail: jericho@dimensional.com (Mail is welcomed) = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = To receive new issues through mail, mail jericho@dimensional.com with = = "subscribe fuck".
