For entertainment purposes only. So Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, right?
That's what we were taught in school.
But that story is not true. In fact, let's discuss 1492 and what was actually happening and why that's significant to Christopher Columbus setting sail that same year.
In Spain, in particular, we have King Ferdinand II of Aragon ruling and his wife, Queen Isabella I of Castile. They were Catholics, and March 31st of 1492, they created a decree, the Alhambra Decree, that stated anybody who was Jewish had to either convert to Catholicism or leave the country,
and they had until July 31st of 1492 to do so.
So interestingly, August 3rd of 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail, but he'd never landed in America. No, he landed in the Caribbean.
And a 2024 DNA analysis showed that Christopher Columbus had Sephardic Jew DNA.
So many people are like, "Oh, he was Catholic. He was a Christian." No.
In fact, he kept most of that shit private.
He didn't really talk about his religion. I wonder why.
But he was also involved with some very shady things like slavery and, you know, terrible things to human beings, but he never actually set foot in North America. It was the Caribbean.
So then why is it he's known for doing these great things, and why is it we celebrate a day for him when he didn't even actually step foot on the North American continent?
And the king and queen did not pay him to take a journey to find India. They kicked him out of the country because he didn't convert.
So that's the real story, and, um, why are we having to learn lies?
Because the truth is always so much better, right?
And then, of course, three hundred years later is when we're told that America started getting colonized, first with Jamestown and then 1620, Plymouth with the Pilgrims. So why did we wait that long?
Well, history is a little bit of...
Well, no, it's not even what we think it is.
It's been rewritten and changed so fucking much, and it's time that we start bringing the truth out.
