Happy Columbus Day! Today we celebrate Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the New World, inaugurating European settlement in the Western Hemisphere. The day is a federal holiday in the United States.

In recent decades, however, Columbus Day has been under attack by those who wish to delegitimize European civilization in the Americas.
Yes, all the fake concern about “aboriginal peoples”, including the now spreading ritual of “land acknowledgements” has nothing to do with the situation of the Amerindians and everything to do with rendering White America nothing more than a criminal enterprise in the eyes of White America.
As with everything spewing out of the mouths of the antiWhites, who it helps is much secondary to who it hurts. And the cost to the virtue-signallers is, as always, zero.
According to a German paleoanthropologist, the first upright walking human is said to have come not from Africa, but from Germany. As if this were not already enough insult to the majesty of the legendary empire of Wakanda (the alleged cradle of mankind), even a Nazi is said to have contributed to the discovery of his remains. But it cannot be what must not be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danuvius_guggenmosi

Just now they have published a sensational information. Columbus was neither Italian nor Spaniard. He was a Sephard Jew.
B.S. Jews love to claim this. Just because his mother had some Sephardic Jewish ancestry does not make him Jewish. His ancestors, like many such people, converted. They were not Covert Jews, as the Jews like to claim.
Besides, how many Jewish explorers were there? This is outside their comfort zone.
Dietrich Eckart in his book Der Bolschewismus von Moses bis Lenin. Zwiegespräch zwischen Adolf Hitler und mir mocked at this idea, and this was in 1925.
Last week I visited my bank branch and noticed a sign on the entrance door. It announced that the bank would be closed on Monday, Oct. 14 in recognition of “Indigenes / Columbus Day.” The notice included a Spanish translation. Only, the Spanish-language version omitted “Columbus.”
End Times Analyst – My bank had on their website that they will be closed on Columbus Day for a staff “Learning Day”. Although that sounds suspiciously like a Re-education Day, it is some sort of staff training seminar; whereby, instead of giving the poor sods that work there the day off, with or without pay, they force them all to attend training sessions — the bank thusly traveling a very carefully politically correct path by not outright celebrating the founding of America, but not openly denigrating it, either. Why not a regular holiday…like, you know, “Juneteeth”? Craven cowards.
I very much doubt this recent report and wonder (((who))) might be behind it. How do (((they))) even know for sure the remains tested are actually those of Columbus? After all, bold exploration seems a bit out of character for a certain ethnic group.
I’ll just paste the following quote for people to evaluate:
So people are now claiming that DNA proves Colombus was actually a Jew from Valencia, and not Genoese. Source is an RTVE doco aired last night.
This thread will look at the evidence presented by the network found here in a summary on it’s own website:
The study confirmed this Jewish origin with the YDNA and mtDNA of his son, Hernando. First of all, mtDNA is inherited maternally, so it is not relevant to Chris. Secondly, how has YDNA confirmed he is Jewish? Did they do a specific clade analysis? It is not specified.
At the moment it seems based on the fact that he had J YDNA, the doco concluded that Columbus was Jewish. This makes the assertion quite ridiculous, as such a wide clade is found over much of Europe, including along the Ligurian coast, not just Jews.
Furthermore, even if a specifically Jewish clade was found, it could simply indicate distant paternal ancestry. It is not evidence that the man was Jewish himself. So the genetic justification for Colombus’ Sephardic origins is not very strong.
The rest of the evidence presented is based on this flawed genetic evidence. They claim that since Jews had been expelled from Genoa and restricted in the 12th c., he could not be from there. However, subsequently Jews were present in Genoa and were later expelled in 1515.
So it’s clear there was in fact a community present in Genoa. They then claim that Colombus never wrote in Italian. This is false, as glosses and notes in books he owned were written in Genoese and Italian respectively. Furthermore, his earliest Spanish writings were poor.
Indicating it wasn’t a first language. They then use the fact that Colombo’s in Genoa are unrelated as some sort of damning evidence, but that is fairly common with surnames. Valencia is confirmed as a location due to the tradition of silk weaving there, so again… weak.
To conclude, this does in no way prove Colombus was Jewish nor that he was from Valencia. There is overwhelming historical evidence that he was Genoese in his own writings and those of his contemporaries.
There’s a lot of janky stuff in the historical traditions about Jews if one reads carefully. For example, all the Jews were supposedly driven out of Spain in 1492, according to accepted historiography, right? Yet I read that during the enlightenment, one reform enacted in Spain was that Jews would no longer be required to wear yellow hats to identify themselves in public. Why was this law needed if there was no significant Jewish population in Spain due to the expulsions that needed identifying with yellow hats? The law seems to imply a significant Jewish population. Something about this doesn’t compute.
They weren’t necessarily driven out, they were given a choice to convert to Christianity or else be exiled. Those conversos who stayed perhaps wore yellow hats for some time.
