Paternalism and the Western Hemisphere

Paternalism and the Western Hemisphere

The Indigenous people of the western hemisphere have been living in a colonialist, paternalistic environment for over 500 years.  During that time we have been accepting, adapting, and accommodating to the European invaders.  This approach has served us horribly and has consistently decimated our nations, communities and families.

The Europeans do not adapt to their environment, they require that the environment adapt to them.  And of course we were considered a part of the environment.  We were considered slag, a resource, an impediment to progress.  So the quick and certain elimination of our people and culture was the only solution.

They never intended to work with us, they only manufactured and network of cooperation and agreement.  When in fact the true agenda of every spectrum of their society had a nihilistic core from which they sought to destroy and subjugate the indigenous populations, and those whom they could not destroy they sought to imprison.

The territorial methodology and tool development for this purpose was originally construed by the Roman Catholic Church, and other ecumenical enclaves.  Violence, torture and murder had been spiritual handmaidens to the papacies for two thousand years.  So they were quite adept at revising old mannerisms of conquest and murder


The inherent papal policy of conquer and destroy came within the Doctrine of Discovery written in the Papal Bull Dum Diversas in 1452.  Forty years before the Christopher Columbus inadvertent landing in the Caribbean.  This document created a legal pathway for colonization wherever the Spanish fleet happened to land.

Queen Isabella had a blood-thirst for gold, silver and other mineral of the earth with which she could build her personal bank of resources.  And original inhabitants who housed the land of gold and silver were to be considered impetuous chattel from whom to boldly extract these riches.

Indigenous slavery and genocide were tools to be arbitrarily used in acquiring the rich minerals and land for the seat of Spanish, English and French powers.  At the same time a long history of religious warfare had taken it's toll on the economic stability of other European nations, so they too had a hungry stake in the exploitation and mining of foreign lands previously invisible to the insatiable countries of Europe.

As Europe was built on death and destruction there was never seen any alternative methods to acquisition and control the New World for the sovereignty of Kings and Queens of civilization.
