DON'T TURN A LEAF

“DON’T TURN A LEAF”

At this time of confused and slanted American History, particularly that part where original natives were contacted by lost Europeans, as the Europeans bobbed around on the ocean, having no direction or destination and no provisions to go home, and their survival from moment to moment was questionable, history as presented should be questioned by some indigenous academic authority. At some point in native history some indigenous historian should get the “adventure” correct and in proper order. The floaters and bobbers were trying to reach India or China, but their real mission was to find gold for the Sovereigns – no matter whose gold it was. The Queen, contrary to history books, was not interested in finding land and owning the world. Manifest Destiny, imported personal greed, and massive American over-population accomplished that. The Sovereign’s needed gold. The need for gold stemmed from a desire to invade Palestine and to pacify it, once and for all. The Sovereigns needed an army. Armies require much money. An army of 5,000 mounted and 50,000 foot soldiers was terribly expensive. The Palestinians had to be invaded and their voice quelled. The Muslims occupied the Queen’s homeland and had to perish for the insult.
That activity required gold to put it into motion. Thus the journey of Columbus and the crews of the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria, Hernan Cortes, and other plunderer’s and pillager’s. They were commanded upon the oceans to bring the crown gold because gold was somewhere in the world. It surely was not in Europe. What little there was in Europe, the Kings and Queens had it all, but they also had an army with spears and swords, shields and helmets, chains and iron balls with steel spikes sticking in every direction, catapults, cavalry, and a ruthlessness that made thousands quake at the mention of their name. Soon ships were going out of Europe a dozen at a time in a dozen directions.
Columbus and Cortes penetrated this homeland and there were beautiful people living here. They gave gifts of food and fine jewelry to the pillagers. The indigenous were unarmed, friendly, healthy, naked and strong but delicate, their bodies never needing an immune system because there was no disease. They were vulnerable. Neither was there a need for implements of war because war could not be imagined. They were friendly. They were so friendly and vulnerable it was damning to the natives but delightful to the plunder-mentality.
The indigenous dwelled in a paradise because they were governed by dreams of wonder and strict laws and rules of etiquette and personal conduct emanating from those dreams. The laws came in dreams to the Elders from the Great Mysteries of the universe. The rules came to the great leaders in dreams, also. Emerging from those dreams were instructions that make no common sense to those of the plunder-mentality invading this continent from Europe, a mentality that emerged from constant conflict and war, nation against nation, biggest most ruthless army the victor and the plunderer. Those victorious in slaughter and destruction were encouraged by the notion of victory to attack and plunder other nations. Thus, the Europeans were honed in the “first strike” mentality. The natives were honed in the “first give,” “first share” mentality.
A native historian should read Columbus’ log book and begin American History from there and discontinue siphoning American history from the propaganda tanks of the American establishment.
I am neither historian nor scholar, but In my feeble attempt to piece history together I can see a societal law that was there when the indigenous met the disease infested Columbus and other pirates, a societal law that may never find rest from European violation, a law coming to our Elders in their deeper dreams:

“WHEN IN THE LAND OF ANOTHER PEOPLE, DO NOT TURN A LEAF, DO NOT BREAK A BRANCH.”

“A WARRIOR OFFERS PEACE, FIRST.”

The Elders issued these rules to the many people of this vast hemispheric homeland long ago and this is how we have lived through all of the seasons and the great migrations that we interpreted as “time.” In our lessons we were instructed to sing sweet songs to Mother Earth and to the Great Universal Mysteries and to always respect all people and all life, everywhere.
Then one day evil spirits came from beyond the sunrise. Their hearts empty of dreams and respect, they brought death and destruction. They, for centuries, have thought only about more destruction and their diseases have mutated and strengthened and now threaten humanity. Earth is sick. Earth is damaged. The strangers have not yet learned that their hearts and habits are not healthy.
Because the invading forces refuse to correct their habits and their hearts, earth may perish, soon. Legend says it will. Elder wisdom says the children will save earth from its final collision with an uncertain destiny by singing Ye’ja (love songs) to Mother Earth at dawn.
According to legend we will divide into two great camps, the “destruct-o,” “Me only” mentality in one camp, children’s dreams about future in the other. We shall see whether child-love or destruction-driven imbalance prevails.

For information concerning Columbus’ first voyage, look in his “Letter to the Sovereigns,” and his log book of that time.
