Irony doesn't require a forgery, like the one you just fabricated by editing out the essential words from a sentence and using quotation marks to misrepresent what was actually posted.

Now the fact that you state that the comments and the links to historical fact throughout this thread are about hating the English, instead of being about hating atrocities, is beyond irony.

Biological warfare too.

And you do know what Terra nullius means? The Spanish liked that principle too, since natives were not human, "Nobody owns the Land."

The only way you could stretch the Spanish using biological warfare in the new world is by making the claim they knowingly brought men infected with the small pox virus to the US with the intention of infecting the natives.

Of course, since the Spanish couldnt keep there cocks in their pants, they took syphilis back to Europe.

Your ancestors(assuming you have European blood) managed to destroy whole nations and cultures that where centuries old and managed to kill/get rid of millions of indigenous people....enslaved who was left and continued this barbarism, for generations and generations.........


This organized mass rape/murder/theft was intentional,planned and government policy.


Are you trying to cope with that guilt by projecting it toward the Brits?


Are the Spanish considering returning all the gold,silver, copper and gems ?


Keep us updated.

Had you read the post you would have noticed that the reason some scholars disagree is that SMALLPOX WAS ALREADY LOOSE AMONG THE NATIVE AMERICANS. Do not refer to the shooting captives as being shot was a much better fate than that which awaited British who fell into indian hands.

Lets see, how do I put this?

Oh yeah, the fucking Spanish introduced smallpox to the Indians of central and south America, then spread it north into the area now known as the United States.

Through interaction among the tribes, small pox went across the US like a wild fire.

The simple truth is the English officers decided to use smallpox infected cloth in an attempt (if successful or not) to infect the Indians, and did so while the Governor General of North America endorsed such activities in writing.

Most the United States seem to fancy they are still English, or at least some other type of European colonial, you wonder why they bothered to revolt. Even those called every name in the book by the Europeans for being republicans, thinking they should be armed, thinking European governmental rule is worthless, etc.

quote:

Part of the full text written a memo from the EU media and Communications Bureau also includes the following recommendations and signed and addressed to Barusto and reads

"Whilst the major democracies of the world are experiencing the full effects of the drive to austerity and have their own political problems, the success of Europe has created enemies that would seek to deflect their own problems towards Europe.

Although it is to be welcomed that the US elections produced a satisfactory result, we have to consider that major political upheaval is still possible and the economic problems are far from over, and although we might have a friend in the current Government, the opposition is still widely hostile to the European success and they will have no hesitation in using lobbying by both multi national corporations and others who seek to take advantage of any perceived turmoil in Europe.

China has allowed disinformation regarding Europe to spread and ion the whole the Chinese are substantially less accommodating towards Europe and this can be seen in its refusal to compromise and to aid world market stability by contributing to Europe in acknowledgment of the very substantial European contribution to its own success.

China together with Russia and India and to a lesser extent the countries of South America are on balance expressing negative views relating to Europe and are quite happy to foster that feeling of disillusionment amongst the indigenous peoples as somehow caused in some part by problems in Europe.

No efforts have been made to address this perception, and foreign powers worldwide are tending to use the excuse of Europe and as a scapegoat for problems caused primarily by their failure to educate their citizens as to the benefits of Europe and as a model for their own success, preferring instead to offer or decline to counteract the populist view.

In Europe itself, Italy and The Netherlands are expressing negative views regarding Europe on a scale that could cause serious problems going forward and the UK in particular has a level of negative sentiment that is now being fueled by the current administration.

After considering what is required to stabilize the EU project as a whole and to educate not only European citizens as to the benefits of the Single Market and a United Strong Europe, but the wider world also, we should provide the equivalent level of budget to enforce and disseminate the virtues of Europe as those who would seek to inform the negative aspects.

An appropriate budget should be allocated with an initial three million Euros to conduct a detailed feasibility study and to prepare the ground for an extended campaign for the next five years.

We anticipate such a budget should be not less than two hundred and seventy five million Euros each year, with an annual review and cost benefit analysis and with an open mandate to escalate such budget as the need arises.

This level of budget for marketing purposes is not inconsistent with the level of budget that most successful organizations would set aside to ensure the growth, success and to counteract negative potential arising from such expenditure."

A tactical notion they most certainly did not invent... but did carry on long after it was well known to be...how shall we put this? I would say 'barbaric', but that unfairly tarnishes the reputation of the Maghreb...

Ahh... long after it was considered atrocious.
