EUROPEAN INVASION KILLS 100 MILLION AMERICANS!
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
When I read this book my point of view about “America”, and my European heritage were changes utterly, completely and forever. In fact, my opinion of all human beings was permanently altered. My 5 times Great Grandmother was the sister of the Chief of the Mohawk Indians in New York. So, I can at least claim Native American blood in my veins, for which I am proud and grateful.
Everything you ever read in U.S. “history books” is a lie. All of the “Cowboy and Indian movies” you ever saw were nothing more than slick, Hollywood propaganda aimed and covering up and justifying the greatest human holocaust in history — the slaughter of more than 100 million Indigenous Natives in the North, Central and South America by European “explorers”, soldiers and priests…. The so-called explorers and colonists or conquistadors who floated over the Atlantic in small wooden boats in search of gold and slaves were literally the scum of the Earth. Unwashed, uneducated, disease ridden soldiers, thieves and priests.
The “discovery” and “settlement” of the American continents was done over the dead bodies of more than 100 million people, who were, for the most part, peaceful, spiritual, cultivated, civilized beings who lived in harmony with nature and the Earth. These people were murdered by European diseases. They were hunted down like buffalo and slaughtered intentionally by the U.S. government as a planned strategy of intentional extinction. The carnage wrought upon the Native Americans by the European Invasion makes the holocaust of World War II seem like a picnic in Fantasy Land, by comparison.
I urge you to read this book: STOLEN CONTINENTS by Ronald Wright. Learn the truth about your own history, and the “karma” we “Americans” have inherited from your European ancestors. And, fear for our own future. What went around, comes back around.
The following short videos reveal more about the history and current treatment of Native Americans.

Manitas De Plata, Jose Reyes and Manero Ballardo Perform the Malagueñas Flamenco. This is the first recording ever made of Manitas De Plata – October 1963, in Arles, France, produced by E. Alan Silver of the Connoisseur Society (the recording engineer David B. Jones WAS). It WAS INITIALLY year released as LP (“Manitas de Plata at Saintes Maries de la Mer”) on the Connoisseur Society label and Philips (I Believe the Connoisseur Society distribution cam first) I Purchased the chromium-oxide tape version – from Which I Have made this video – when it Appeared sometime in the early 1970s.
~ ~ Guitar: Segovia, Bream, Manitas de de Plata (literally small Scissorhands but in fact is the French expression “nimble fingers”) is a famous gypsy guitarist. Whose real name is Ricardo Baliardo, Manitas de Plata was born August 7, 1921 in Sète, in a caravan. It was soon recognized by his people as Manitas de Plata, the man with the “magic fingers”. It differs every year, playing the guitar at the Gypsy pilgrimage of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Django Reinhardt was alive, he dare not even think to dethrone that which was then considered the king of gypsy music. Ten years after the death of Django, he agrees to play in public, and the miracle happens. In New York, at an exhibition of photographs by his friend Lucien Clergue, an acknowledged admirer of one of the shots and persuaded him to record. He made his debut in the chapel of Arles. An American manager does play on stage at the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York in December 1965. The gypsy illiterate, who can not read a note of music, conquers the world. In March 1964, an evening bullfight in Arles, Picasso, after hearing him play, exclaims: “It is more expensive than me! “.He was a friend of Salvador Dalí. Since 1967, Manitas de Plata continues to release records, travels the world surrounded by his tribe and always his eldest son, Manero, one of the last great singers of the Camargue, or developing smaller, his family around him . He played well in the U.S., Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Singapore, England, Algeria, etc.. Manitas has sold over 93 million albums of his music, over 83 different disks (source: manitasdeplata.fr). He lives very modestly to the Grande Motte. Manitas has lost his younger brother, 27 May 2009, which accompanied him during his early career on the biggest stages the world Balliardo Hippolyte, 84, also of the greatest friend. On August 8, 2009, there is still the arena “El Cordobés” Palavas-les-Flots (France), at the tribute night dedicated to his brother Hippolyte but also on the occasion of his birthday (7 August 2009), the public makes him a standing ovation while moving him this illiterate gypsy, who introduced El Flamenco worldwide, having reduced later this music to its purest form. Manitas de Plata is now considered the greatest flamenco guitarist in the world although controversial by the purists of the traditionalist school academic Spanish, because of his illiteracy and non-academic. Yet the artist Manitas is the world flamenco, all shades together, to be the best selling album in the world, an artist always respected and loved precisely because of its extraordinary art. Salvador Dali, who resembled the father Manitas, said of him, “Whenever Manitas plays, firefighters take fire.” Manitas met the most influential artistic, economic, literary and political, all captivated by the art, the personality of the artist at once modest and somewhat narcissistic, but always so endearing, touching and authentic. There are a permanent UN International Gypsy world representing these people and stuff.

DERIVATIVES: THE SAME OLD SCAM
Republished by Blog Post Promoter
Does the following definition of a “derivative” sound like something you would spend you hard earned money on? Or, does it sound like a complex shell-game designed to steal your hard earned money from you? If you are stupid enough to believe that “Wall Street” is anything more than a criminal racket, you deserve to pay your tax dollars to bail the mutherfuckers out of the billions of dollars they’ve squandered on this elaborate scam. ARE YOU TIRED OF THE BULLSHIT YET?
“A derivative instrument is a “contract between two parties that specifies conditions-in particular, dates and the resulting values of the underlying variables-under which payments, or payoffs, are to be made between the parties. One of the oldest derivatives is rice futures, which have been traded on the Dojima Rice Exchange since the eighteenth century. Derivatives are broadly categorized by the relationship between the underlying asset and the derivative (e.g., forward, option, swap); the type of underlying asset (e.g., equity derivatives,foreign exchange derivatives, interest rate derivatives, commodity derivatives, or credit derivatives); the market in which they trade (e.g., exchange-traded or over-the-counter); and their pay-off profile.
Derivatives can be used for speculating purposes (“bets”) or to hedge (“insurance”). For example, a speculator may sell deep in-the-money naked calls on a stock, expecting the stock price to plummet, but exposing himself to potentially unlimited losses. Very commonly, companies buy currency forwards in order to limit losses due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of two currencies. — Wikipedia
