From Columbus’ Diary:

“When your Highnesses so command, [the Arawak Natives] could all be carried off to Castile or be held captive in the island itself, because with 50 men they could all be subjugated and compelled to do anything one wishes.”

[…]

“As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first Island which I found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts.”

My Commentary: COLUMBUS DAY is a CELEBRATION of THEFT, OCCUPATION, IMPERIALISM, SLAVERY and GENOCIDE… so, of course, it makes sense that it was declared a national holiday in America!

Rayn: I’ve witnessed the underclass and understood its necessary permanence in a capitalistic world where commercialism and technology are the new imperialisms, and the race to manufacture and sell has caused America to declare a war on poverty and ignorance, and punish those assumed guilty with life-sentences of servitude to dead-end jobs that trickle down minimum wages and allow the rich to get richer, while the rest get deceived into thinking that they, too, can one day become the next John D. Rockefeller, yet, never do, because the fruits of labor have been replaced with high-tech paper, suitable to be used for the purchase of the same illusions of necessity and convenience that they’ve spent their work day creating…

Keith M.: Thank you!

Rayn: You’re most welcome!

Thomas Pr.: There is this guy James at work. He graduated Duke on Scholarship. He works for me. I tell him how it is with the back of my hand upside his head.
