American Churches Embrace Violent "Christian" Video Games".
Dear Readers:
Some readers especially Craig (a student) is really doing their homework and
pay attention to the current news. Those emails have always interesting
facts about them and I am glad for many of you sampling your curiosity,
intelligence and dedication for the truth. As always if the material
receives is worthwhile to share with you I will make sure to pass it on. In
this case the reality behind Christopher Columbus "voyage" endorsed and
supported by the church. Combined with the "Cetera Bull" written by the Pope
ordering the slaughtering of all indigenous people because they were pagans
and could not be converted into Christianity "Columbus Day" thoughts by
Thom Hartmann must be shared to the world. When I wrote many times in the
past that the (Church Inc.) was more interested in the real estate,
priceless artifacts and especially gold than the Indian's welfare I did not
exaggerate anything at all.
The Supernova Window in action will give you the option to go back into the
past (in this case Columbus history) and really acknowledge what those
brutes did for money, power and greed and their churches. Read it with an
open mind and realize not even a fraction of what really took place in those
days is reported. I will let your own imagination go wild knowing that in
those days blood and brute force was the normal way of getting things done.
Blessings to all.
DT,

Russian serial killer says murder is like love "The closer a person is to
you, and the better you know them, the more pleasurable it is to kill them,"
he said. "You should not credit the police with catching me. I gave myself
up," he told the court. If convicted, Pichushkin could be Russia's most
prolific serial killer.

Praise Jesus!... This guy sums up the church sooooooo well. Maybe I should
stop trying to good and just rape children??? I must say the cross offers
everything to the evil of this world, and is their creation.

Columbus Day thoughts by Thom Hartmann
*Columbus Day - As Rape Rules Africa and American Churches Embrace Violent
"Christian" Video Games".
"Gold is most excellent; gold constitutes treasure; and he who has it does
all he wants in the world, and can even lift souls up to Paradise."
-- Christopher Columbus, 1503 letter to the king and queen of Spain.
*"Christopher Columbus not only opened the door to a New World, but also set
an example for us all by showing what monumental feats can be accomplished
through perseverance and faith."*
--George H.W. Bush, 1989 speech
If you fly over the country of Haiti on the island of Hispaniola, the island
on which Columbus landed, it looks like somebody took a blowtorch and burned
away anything green. Even the ocean around the port capital of Port au
Prince is choked for miles with the brown of human sewage and eroded
topsoil. From the air, it looks like a lava flow spilling out into the sea.
The history of this small island is, in many ways, a microcosm for what's
happening in the whole world. When Columbus first landed on Hispaniola in
1492, virtually the entire island was covered by lush forest. The Taino
"Indians" who loved there had an apparently idyllic life prior to Columbus,
from the reports left to us by literate members of Columbus's crew such as
Miguel Cuneo. When Columbus and his crew arrived on their second visit to
Hispaniola, however, they took captive about two thousand local villagers
who had come out to greet them. Cuneo wrote: "When our caravels. where to
leave for Spain, we gathered. One thousand six hundred male and female
persons of those Indians, and these we embarked in our caravels on February
17, 1495.
For those who remained, we let it be known (to the Spaniards who manned the
island's fort) in the vicinity that anyone who wanted to take some of them
could do so, to the amount desired, which was done."
Cuneo further notes that he himself took a beautiful teenage Carib girl as
his personal slave, a gift from Columbus himself, but that when he attempted
to have sex with her, she "resisted with all her strength." So, in his own
words, he "thrashed her mercilessly and raped her."
While Columbus once referred to the Taino Indians as cannibals, a story made
up by Columbus - which is to this day still taught in some US schools - to
help justify his slaughter and enslavement of these people. He wrote to the
Spanish monarchs in 1493: "It is possible, with the name of the Holy
Trinity, to sell all the slaves which it is possible to sell. Here there are
so many of these slaves, and also brazilwood, that although they are living
things they are as good as gold."
Columbus and his men also used the Taino as sex slaves: it was a common
reward for Columbus' men for him to present them with local women to rape.
As he began exporting Taino as slaves to other parts of the world, the
sex-slave trade became an important part of the business, as Columbus wrote
to a friend in 1500: "A hundred castellanoes (a Spanish coin) are as easily
obtained for a woman as for a farm, and it is very general and there are
plenty of dealers who go about looking for girls; those from nine to ten
(years old) are now in demand."
However, the Taino turned out not to be particularly good workers in the
plantations that the Spaniards and later the French established on
Hispaniola: they resented their lands and children being taken, and
attempted to fight back against the invaders. Since the Taino where
obviously standing in the way of Spain's progress, Columbus sought to impose
discipline on them. For even a minor offense, an Indian's nose or ear was
cut off, se he could go back to his village to impress the people with the
brutality the Spanish were capable of. Columbus attacked them with dogs,
skewered them with pikes, and shot them.
Eventually, life for the Taino became so unbearable that, as Pedro de
Cordoba wrote to King Ferdinand in a 1517 letter, "As a result of the
sufferings and hard labor they endured, the Indians choose and have chosen
suicide. Occasionally a hundred have committed mass suicide. The women,
exhausted by labor, have shunned conception and childbirth. Many, when
pregnant, have taken something to abort and have aborted. Others after
delivery have killed their children with their own hands, so as not to leave
them in such oppressive slavery."
Eventually, Columbus and later his brother Bartholomew Columbus who he left
in charge of the island, simply resorted to wiping out the Taino altogether.
Prior to Columbus' arrival, some scholars place the population of
Haiti/Hispaniola (now at 16 million) at around 1.5 to 3 million people. By
1496, it was down to 1.1 million, according to a census done by Bartholomew
Columbus. By 1516, the indigenous population was 12,000, and according to
Las Casas (who were there) by 1542 fewer than 200 natives were alive. By
1555, every single one was dead.
This wasn't just the story of Hispaniola; the same has been done to
indigenous peoples worldwide. Slavery, apartheid, and the entire concept of
conservative Darwinian Economics, have been used to justify continued
suffering by masses of human beings.
Dr. Jack Forbes, Professor of Native American Studies at the University of
California at Davis and author of the brilliant book "Columbus and Other
Cannibals," uses the Native American word wétiko (pronounced WET-ee-ko) to
describe the collection of beliefs that would produce behavior like that of
Columbus. Wétiko literally means "cannibal," and Forbes uses it quite
intentionally to describe these standards of culture: we "eat" (consume)
other humans by destroying them, destroying their lands, taking their
natural resources, and consuming their life-force by enslaving them either
physically or economically. The story of Columbus and the Taino is just one
example.
We live in a culture that includes the principle that if somebody else has
something we need, and they won't give it to us, and we have the means to
kill them to get it, it's not unreasonable to go get it, using whateverforce
we need to. In the United States, the first "Indian war" in New England was
the "Pequot War of 1636," in which colonists surrounded the largest of the
Pequot villages, set it afire as the sun began to rise, and then performed
their duty: they shot everybody-men, women, children, and the elderly-who
tried to escape. As Puritan colonist William Bradford described the scene:
"It was a fearful sight to see them thus frying in the fire and the streams
of blood quenching the same, and horrible was the stink and scent thereof;
but the victory seemed a sweet sacrifice, and they [the colonists] gave
praise therof to God, who had wrought so wonderfully..."
The Narragansetts, up to that point "friends" of the colonists, were so
shocked by this example of European-style warfare that they refused further
alliances with the whites. Captain John Underhill ridiculed the
Narragansetts for their unwillingness to engage in genocide, saying
Narragansett wars with other tribes were "more for pastime, than to conquer
and subdue enemies." In that, Underhill was correct: the Narragansett form
of war, like that of most indigenous Older Culture peoples, and almost all
Native American tribes, does not have extermination of the opponent as a
goal. After all, neighbors are necessary to trade with, to maintain a strong
gene pool through intermarriage, and to insure cultural diversity. Most
tribes wouldn't even want the lands of others, because they would have
concerns about violating or entering the sacred or spirit-filled areas of
the other tribes. Even the killing of "enemies" is not most often the goal
of tribal "wars": It's most often to fight to some pre-determined measure of
"victory" such as seizing a staff, crossing a particular line, or the first
wounding or surrender of the opponent.
This wétiko type of theft and warfare is practiced daily by farmers and
ranchers worldwide against wolves, coyotes, insects, animals and trees of
the rainforest; and against indigenous tribes living in the jungles and
rainforests. It is our way of life. It comes out of our foundational
cultural notions. So it should not surprise us that with the doubling of the
world's population over the past 37 years has come an explosion of violence
and brutality, and as the United States runs low on oil, we are now fighting
wars in oil-rich parts of the world.
It shouldn't surprise us that our churches are using violent
"kill the infidels" video games
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/07/us/07halo.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin
to lure in children, while in parts of Africa contaminated by our culture
and rich in oil (Congo) rape has become so widespread as to make the front
page of yesterday's New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/07/world/africa/07congo.html?hp
These are all dimensions, after all, our history, which we celebrate on
Columbus Day. But if we wake up, and we help the world wake up, it need not
be our future.

Dr. Turi:
This weekend I was watching the History Channel. The show was referring to
the Aztec/Mayan calendar of Dec. 21, 2012. That is in essence the end of the
world. The show also talked about Greek/Roman oracles confirming the end of
days and also Revelations. My question to you: What are your thoughts
pertaining to that particular date?

Dr. Turi,
I would like to know your knowledge about 12-21-12. Until watching a
program on the History channel last night, did I first hear about this
"event". The "jest" of it was that the Mayans, the Chinese, even the Bible
all have an agreement not only about the year but the date referring to the
end of time or a new beginning, as we know it. Above and beyond that,
scientists have said that the earth will be in the center of the galaxy, the
sun and earth will be perfectly aligned for the first time in human recorded
history..... I turn to you because you are more focused and knowledgeable
about what's going with our galaxy as wells as the effects than anyone I
know, but also am surprised that I heard of this for the first time by
"chance", and it's pretty astounding to say the least if there is evidence
to believe such an enormous event very soon. Would you please give any
input with regards to this topic to your "friends" during your busy
schedule?
Thank you.
DT response: Trust me Patrick the year 2012 will come by and go with
nothing tragic for the human race. It's just a "gate" an opening for man's
cosmic consciousness where all the apocalyptic junk and religions will
finally be cast aside because NOTHING drastic took place. Its just a new
opening for mankind consciousness or a wake up call. The new Dragon in
Aquarius will steer a lot of lunatics apocalyptic promoters the next 2
years, don't fall for it.
Have faith we are not doomed!
Blessings

Hi Dr. Turi,
Your latest email truly AMUSED me greatly.....the remark regarding 'WAKE YOU
UP to save your butt was PRICELESS!! You do NOT need to APOLOGIZE to anyone
for anything Dr. Turi. If they do not get it nor want to listen to you....OH
WELL, they are on their own. So be it.
Being an AQUARIAN myself, I UNDERSTAND YOU. I wore myself out and down
trying to help people but they do NOT LISTEN, so I quit talking. Kinda like
you are carrying them in your arms and they keep jumping off, and so we do
not pick them back up. Now I only do GOD's bidding when I'm asked to do so,
saves me alot of wasted energy and time.
Hang been trained in the upper and lowers deserts of California and Arizona,
I believe in the SPACE BROTHERHOOD, GALAXIES and PLANETS, and so much more.
I love for what you are trying to accomplish for humanity, you have my
prayers and best wishes always. Living now in the Pacific northwest (I was
guided here for awhile) the explosion in Tacoma was
terrible..................your predictions are so on.
Take care of yourself Dr. Turi.

Dear Louis Turi,
Your e-mails always make me laugh! You know, I have been hanging-out with
farmers of one sort or another for most of my life now and I (as well as
you) have been simularly critized for being a harsh critic of others for
their own good. Most people just don't know what to think of someone who is
direct and honest with no horse potaoes. I grew up admiring those lovely
farmers and horse riding ladies who just didn't take anyones BS as you don't
either.... but most people just can't handle the truth that is delivered up
to them.
Your down to earth attitude is most unusual for someone who reads the stars
and
I just love the spirit you continue to express. It's like hitting a horse
with a board and still they don't get it. What does it take? Who knows, but
I do appreciate your honesty and passionate efforts even though they will be
misunderstood by most. Hang in there and keep up your efforts... some do
'get it' and hopefully will use it and spread the word.
Best wishes... Tara

Dr Turi:
My sister calls to say her husband died in his sleep early this morning.
She
was crying and we will deal with this as a complete and loving family; we
are very fortunate to have an intact family. Brain aneurysm seems like the
cause, the coroner will not do an autopsy because it was pretty obvious that
is what took his life.
Surprising news, as you have been saying. At least I was prepared for this
"surprising news"; I just did not know from what corner of my life it would
jump.
I promise to try to keep a low and safe profile; I am planning on getting
lots
of rest that is one thing I know I can do.

Subject: Don't ever apologize for waking people up!
Aloha!
I am glad you are addressing those that criticize you, but, for the sake of
our global society, please don't apologize for continuing to wake people
up.... If you were homogenized and pasteurized, and repackaged, we wouldn't
need you, we can go to Safeway Food Stores for that kind of colon crap.
