The California state and the U.S. federal governments have yet to acknowledge their respective roles in the genocide of Native Americans of California.

Thursday Dec. 12, 2024 – Today is the 123rd death anniversary of our great-grandfather Nicolas Aldana who was executed along with Isaac Antonio, Prudencio Santiago, and Estanislao Quilatan, over and above the objections of the U.S. military that captured Emilio Aguinaldo, the self-styled dictator of the Philippines and leader of the so-called Army of Liberation.

INTRODUCTION

In discussing the Spanish colonization of the Philippines as a Native American I find necessary to run a parallel between the treatment of Native Americans under the Spanish missionaries and later the Americans in both California and the Philippines. From 1565 to around the first quarter of the 17th the Spanish military implemented the harsh repartimiento system and the onerous encomienda system of Spanish colonial system. The Friars reported this maltreatment of the natives then called indios to the King Philip II of Spain saying that indios were enslaved, exhausted and killed by Spanish troops. King Philip II later turned over the control of the Philippine colony to the Friars who ironically, maintained the same harsh and unjust system they reported to the King. This time, no one dared to report the friars’ abuse and exploitation of indios in the Philippines. However like their California counterparts, the natives of the Philippines were not just victims. From 1565 to 1898 there were an estimated 31 revolts, mutinies and uprising against Spain until 1898 when the greatly weakened Spanish Empire fell.

It should be noted that after 1535, Fr. Bartolome de las Casas introduced African slaves to the New World to ease the work load of the indigenous peoples. No African slave was ever brought to the Philippines under the Spanish regime. This means the natives were also the slaves.

GENOCIDE OF CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE AMERICANS

“All who benefit from the inherent violence of the state are implicated in its cruelty.”   ― Karen Armstrong, Fields of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence (2014)

The Papal Bull of 1455 called for the subjugation and perpetual enslavement of Saracens & pagans i.e. Native Americans. Note: It was after Columbus discovered the New World that the Treaty of Tordesillas was signed on 2 July 1494 dividing the New World between Spain and Portugal, excluding the rest of Europe.

The Missionary Junipero Serra sailed into San Diego harbor and established the first mission in the Spring of 1769. This is the start of the Mission era (1769 – 1823). Those who claim California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Texas, New Mexico & Colorado belong to Mexico are basing their claims as descendants of the Spanish Conquistadores. It was Conquistador Francisco Vasquez de Coronado who led the Spanish expedition from Mexico to what is now Colorado on Feb. 23, 1540. There were various Native American tribes in those lands (CA, NV, UT, NM, CO TX, etc.) even before 1540.

Ironically, Native Americans are STAUNCH DEFENDERS OF THIS COUNTRY. Just like Filipinos who served in WWII.

05:11 – FLOYD “Red Crow” WESTERMAN:  It is a great irony that American Indians after being denied for many years their right to practice their own religion speak their own languages after being forced to live in the oppressive concentration camp lifestyles, after all that Indians have gone on to become staunch Defenders of this country in times of need. More Indians have received the Congressional Medal of Honor per capita than any other group of people. We remain a proud people in spite of the efforts to exterminate us. In order to heal we first must accept our past.

12:08 – PROF. DAVID E. STANNARD, University of Hawaii:  Make another comparison in the final year or so of uh the BUCHENWALD concentration camp in NAZI Germany um there again have been calculations of the amount of caloric intake that the inmates received was around 6 to 700 calories a day. That’s I can’t remember exactly, something like a cup of milk and a little piece of bread or something.  That is what the the people in the missions were getting year after year after year, decade after decade after decade. They were literally BEING STARVED.

17:03 – EDWARD CASTILLO PH.D. Cahuilla/Luiseño Professor of History: – One of the most disturbing things that I ever came across in the documentation was the inaugural address of California’s first governor (Peter H. Burnett) when he declared that Indians, that a war of extermination would be made against the Indians until the Indian race is extinct. We got a classic example of the head of modern State endorsing genocide.  

17:26 – DR. DARRYL BABE WILSON: Sometimes we when we hear the word Stanford we think boy that’s the best university there there ever was and it may be.

17:36 – DR. DARRYL BABE WILSON: But when LELAND STANFORD was the governor of California, the militia out there killing native people, they got paid in rifle powder and ball for killing Indians that was their reward.

17:53 – EDWARD CASTILLO PH.D.: The militias were financed at first by local Merchants who simply saw an advantage of of getting rid of the local Indians. Uh then they would submit the bill to the state legislature since the state legislature was had barely formed and they were clamoring for protection against Indian depredations as they called it, the state legislature paid them back and then sent the bill to the federal government. And the federal government reimbursed eventually over $1.5 million for militia campaigns against Indians.

18:22 Now the the great tragedy in this is that this becomes a form of (U.S. government) subsidized murder.

Introduction

According to legendary military Remote Viewer Lyn Buchanan, “Remote viewing is basically psychic work. And for most psychics, they’re sort of at the mercy of their own subconscious mind* that they get what they get.“

Your subconscious mind is smarter than you are. It’s faster than you are. It cares more about you than you do. And if you can be friends with your own subconscious mind and learn to communicate with it, your life is going to change for the better. It really will. I’ve always said that I’ve always felt. And one of the things you find is that when a person learns to actually interview their own subconscious mind and pay attention to what it says and report it accurately without interpretation, they become friends with themselves. And it does have a spiritual and a personality change.“

===============================

Brittany, we communicate on another level of existence – through our subconscious. If we want to get better results, we need to meet regularly. Otherwise, as Lyn Buchanan said (above), “we get what we get.”

Randy Black wrote on August 16:

I am interested in the WAIS reaction to comments by the chairman of the

Democratic National Committee:

“If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the

Democratic Party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the

Republican Party,” (Howard) Dean said Friday in an appearance on NPR’s “Tell

Me More” program.

What in heck is a person of color and why is it important to Howard Dean?

Bienvenido Macario responds:

I anticipate a very lively and interesting discussion on the two points Randy Black raised in this post.

First this is a major political history test beginning with the history of the Democratic and Republican Parties around 1854. Which of the two parties for the last hundred years or so is more supportive of the Native Americans or non-Caucasian peoples? We have to look at the period immediately after the American Civil War, to the SS St. Louis episode of 1938 (S/B 1939). And to which party did those who strongly opposed Martin Luther King Jr. and civil rights movement belong?

If England’s and Germany’s political history would be of any guide to that of the US, then I have to say that the first female president of America will likely come from the conservative Republican party, including the first president with non-European family heritage. Margaret Thatcher, the first female prime minister of England, and Benjamin Disraeli, the first and only prime minister of Spanish-Jewish ancestry, were conservatives. Angela Merkel, the first female Chancellor of Germany, also came from the equivalent conservative party of Germany.

Already, I am grateful to Randy Black for bringing up the second topic: the definition of “Native American.” I will watch this discussion closely.

The native inhabitants of land purchased by the US from 1803 automatically became Native Americans. This is the status I am seeking for the people of the Philippines, and in the process, we are willing to give to the US Federal government the right, power and authority to take good care of our natural resources, especially because it has been proven beyond any doubt that Filipinos have turned the tropical islands into a massive environmental disaster.

JE comments: If we accept the experiences of other nations as a guide, it no doubt would/will be easier for the Republicans to elect a woman to the White House.
