Dehumanizing our People
The Christian invaders labeled our religions pagan, our people savages, and our civilizations primitive, knowing quite the opposite to be true. They judged our customs without even knowing their true meaning. The bulk of the sacrifice that the natives of Ixachilan practiced was in blood-letting. The religious leaders, royal family and peasants would sacrifice blood to the divine powers to harmonize themselves with the cosmos.

Amerindian Human Sacrifice
The practice of human sacrifice amongst the Mexica (Aztecs) and other groups of Ixachilan makes European wars seem barbaric (which they are). Native American war did not stem from greed, as European wars did (and do). The main objective was not to murder the enemy in battle. It was to corner the enemy and force him into submission. An Aztec warrior gained no respect or higher status from killing on the battlefield. Their effectiveness was determined based on the number of soldiers they captured in battle. The captive soldiers were executed in a ceremony. It is no different than putting a war criminal to death, and more humane than the atrocities committed by the American government on a daily basis. The braver the captured warrior was, the more satisfied the Nahua teotls were. Instead of becoming a dead body on the battlefield, being sacrificed gave their life a purpose. Aside from the refined poetic nature of Nahuatl sacrifice, how does it differ from the modern Crusade against Iraq and criminal executions in the state of Texas?

There are no reliable eye-witnesses of human sacrifice in the Americas. There are only interpretations of art and literature. If we were to examine art, comic books, and television shows in the United States, the conclusions we would draw would be far worse than what ignorant historians claim the Pre-Columbian civilizations did. The Duran Codex, which depicts human sacrifices by the Aztecs, was written by Spaniards, not the Native Americans.

If the numbers presented by Cortes were not exaggerated, which they most likely were, then we can say that, only for the sake of argument, the Aztecs sacrificed "three or four thousand souls" every year. Between 1530 and 1630 the English, with a population of around 3 million, executed about 75,000 people, not including war casualties. Their population was around one tenth that of the Mexica nation. If England had as many inhabitants as the Aztec empire did in 1519, it can be estimated that they probably would have executed around 7,500 people annually, twice as many people as the "bloodthirsty" Aztecs. In France and Spain even more people were sacrificed during this same period. (Mann 130-131)

The only "skull rack" found is made of stone. Skull racks were used to display the skulls of criminals who were executed because they could not follow the laws of society, just as they are still executed in this country to this very day. The racist idea that Mexica human sacrifice differed from that of Europeans because it was tied to religion is a falsehood. European sacrifices were also deeply rooted in Christianity and the divine supremacy of the king. And the manner in which Europeans went about murdering their people was far more savage than the Mexica practice. People were beheaded, heretics burned alive, hearts were torn from bodies and decapitated heads were impaled on spikes. Huge crowds gathered to watch people be executed. They considered it free entertainment. Europeans hung bodies alongside highways and impaled them on city walls to remind the people of what may happen to them if they should get out of line. It served the same purpose as the Aztec skull rack but was far more crude. If you find the Mexica skull rack "shocking," I can only imagine what you think about the Church of Bones located in Sedlec (Europe).

The Romans
The Romans placed men in an arena and watched them slaughter one another for entertainment purposes. Criminals in the Roman Empire were sacrificed to the gods for their wrongdoings. Prisoners of war and vestal virgins were buried alive as offerings to Mane and Dil Inferni. They also practiced animal sacrifice on a grand scale. In more recent history, the Spanish Inquisition sacrificed millions of lives.

Other Caucasians
The Germanics were well-known for mass human sacrifice of fellow tribes people (men, women and children). Celts, who worshipped the Norse gods, were well-known for sacrificing innocent human beings. According to Julius Caesar, the Gauls built wicker figures, filled them with human bodies, and set them on fire. They hanged, drowned, immolated, and murdered by several methods according to the God they were trying to please. Vikings hanged men to satisfy Odin. Norse men were sometimes buried with slave women, who were supposed to become their wives in the afterlife. Ancient Greeks sacrificed maidens for Artemis.

Others
The great Egyptian civilization sacrificed human beings to their gods. Phoenicians and Carthaginians sacrificed infants to their gods.

Hypocrites
Despite the vast amount of evidence that establishes the validity of these claims, historians believe the proof is suspect, because much of it comes from the “Holy” Roman Empire. On a similar note, they openly accept the unsubstantiated fabrications of Spanish hypocrites who profess that the natives of Ixachilan practiced religious human sacrifice and cannibalism in an attempt to demonize the culture so that their aggression would be warranted in Europe and justified in history. This is not only highly offensive, but brazenly racist.


American and European Witch Hunts

An Account of Events in Salem by Douglas Linder (last update: 6/2002) From June through September of 1692, nineteen men and women, all having been convicted of witchcraft, were carted to Gallows Hill, a barren slope near Salem Village, for hanging. Another man of over eighty years was pressed to death under heavy stones for refusing to submit to a trial on witchcraft charges. Hundreds of others faced accusations of witchcraft; dozens languished in jail for months without trials until the hysteria that swept through Puritan Massachusetts subsided. The Dead Nineteen accused witches were hanged on Gallows Hill in 1692: June 10: Bridget Bishop July 19: Rebecca Nurse, Sarah Good, Susannah Martin, Elizabeth Howe, Sarah Wildes August 19: George Burroughs, Martha Carrier, John Willard, George Jacobs, Sr., John Proctor September 22: Martha Corey, Mary Eastey, Ann Pudeator, Alice Parker, Mary Parker, Wilmott Redd, Margaret Scott, Samuel Wardwell One accused witch (or wizard, as male witches were often called) was pressed to death on September 19 when he failed to plead guilty or not guilty: Giles Corey Other accused witches died in prison: Sarah Osborn Roger Toothaker Lyndia Dustin Ann Foster (As many as thirteen** others may have died in prison.) **sources conflict as to the exact number of prison deaths http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/salem/SALEM.HTM

Case Study: The European Witch-Hunts, c. 1450-1750 and Witch-Hunts Today Summary For three centuries of early modern European history, diverse societies were consumed by a panic over alleged witches in their midst. Witch-hunts, especially in Central Europe, resulted in the trial, torture, and execution of tens of thousands of victims, about three-quarters of whom were women. Arguably, neither before nor since have adult European women been selectively targeted for such largescale atrocities. http://www.gendercide.org/case_witchhunts.html

European Cannibalism
The savages who took part in the first Crusade, which occured around 1098, were cannibalistic. These "warriors of God" fed on the carcasses of their deceased enemies. The Crusaders were very cruel and inhumane.

Europeans are known to have actively engaged in cannibalism into the 14th century. During the Great Famine of 1315-1317 the European state, church, and society were hit hard by environmental and economic conditions. Crime increased to extreme levels and disease spread throughout the land. Bloodthirsty Europeans would murder their own children for sustenance or because they were unable to support them. Europeans consumed human bodies, including those of their own infant babies, and now they degrade Native Americans with absolutely no proof in support of their theory of mass Indian cannibalism. Proof of European cannibalism during the 1300's is only disputed by ashamed Europeans who do not want to admit to the sins of their ancestors. "However, perhaps it says more about modern values, which attribute cannibalism to 'the other,' than about the realities of one's ancestors doing whatever it took to survive victor" (Wikipedia).

When Europeans came to Ixachilan, they were "appalled" by the way that indigenous tribes treated their enemies during times of war. But Europeans were far more brutal than Native Americans.

In the Dutch rampjaar (disaster year) of 1672, when France and England during the Franco-Dutch War / Third Anglo-Dutch War attacked the Republic, Johan de Witt (a significant Dutch political figure) was killed by a shot in the neck; his naked body was hanged and mutilated and the heart was carved out to be exhibited. His brother was shot, stabbed, eviscerated alive, hanged naked, brained and partly eaten. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibalism

During the World War II Europeans engaged in widespread cannibalism. At the siege of Leningrad many people ate other human beings in order to survive. Visit the following link for more info on the event.  http://www.eathufu.com/cannibalism.asp?id=21


The Hidden Truth About European Christian Cannibalism
Given the vast amount of evidence depicting European cannibalism, one can only wonder why American society does not have the same image of Europeans as they do of ancient Mexicans. There is far more proof of European cannibalism than that of indigenous cannibalism. Eurocentric history does not allow these facts to reach the mainstream where it would then be shown that European Christians have committed acts that were far more savage than those of indigenous people.

Christian/European Terrorists in Modern Times
Christian populations are responsible for more deaths than every other religious group of the world combined. The Crusades' terrorist war against the Muslim world brought the death of over 9 million people. The Spanish Catholics and Anglo Christians sacrificed over 95% of the indigenous population of North & South America, which numbered over 100 million prior to the European invasion. They forced their culture and religion on the natives. Because they were unable to break the spirit of the natives in many locations and condemn them to slavery, Africans were brought to this land as slaves. Millions died from curable diseases, famine, overworking, and others were murdered (lynching the preferred method). This nation sacrifices many men every year in the prison system by means of execution.

Image of the Nightmare that was the Crusades

In the last several years, George W. Bush has maintained a new crusade against Muslims. So far almost 1 million are dead and millions have been injured. The majority of "American casualties" are of Mexican descent. He has even go so far as to recruit soldiers in Tijuana Mexico, to fight his "holy war." These soldiers are not recognized by the Army and are not included on casualty lists. The governments like to pretend that their attacks are "calculated," but they are as unexact as George Dubya Bush's pronunciation of the word "NUCLEAR." He promises he will do much more since he was re-elected (or more accurately he stole the election again).

Sacrifice in the Bible
When Isaac became a young boy, God spoke to Abraham and commanded him to take his son to Mount Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice to God. This was God’s test of Abraham’s faith. Abraham loved his son very much, but did not hesitate to follow God’s words for he was a man whose faith in God was strong. As Abraham and his son reached the place where the sacrifice was to be performed, Isaac said to his father, “Father, where is the lamb that is to be sacrificed?” Abraham replied, “My son, God will provide the lamb”.

It is not known how eventually Abraham told his son that he was to be the sacrifice, but Isaac courageously laid on the sacrificial place ready to be sacrificed for god. As Abraham was taking out his knife, his hands were trembling. He was about to sacrifice his son when heard the voice of God saying, “Abraham, Stop! Do not hurt your son. You have proven your faith and shown how much you love Me by willing to sacrifice your son for Me. Therefore, I shall bless you and your family, and through you, I shall bless all the nations on earth”. God also provided a lamb for the sacrifice. Abraham went home along with his son, and their hearts full of love and faith.

If God was so righteous then why would he bring such pain to one of his own children? Does not the "bible" teach us not to lie? The sixth "Holy" commandment is "Thou Shalt Not Kill." Why is Abraham praised for attempting to murder his own son rather than punished by a God who does not tolerate murderers (or liars)? I guess murder and lies are only acceptable when they are in the name of God...the CHRISTIAN GOD. This would explain a lot of things. In addition, it must be noted that Abraham and his son, Isaac, sacrificed a lamb to their bloodthirsty God.

Imposing European Culture on the Indians
The physical defeat and enslavement of the Amerindians was not enough to satisfy the insatiable Christian/Catholic hunger for cruelty. With tens of millions massacred and millions direly ill, the Europeans waged a new form of war. This war did not threaten to steal their land (which they had already stolen) or impose taxes on the populace. This war was an attempt to completely annihilate Native American culture and crush their undying spirit – this was genocide in its most awful form – this is the American Holocaust. The image located to the left is from the Mexica Movement.

The strategy differed from location to location. In what is now Mexico and Central America, the Spaniards demanded that all the texts of the Mayans and Mexica be destroyed, because they were contaminated with the work of the Devil. Their literature was reduced to ashes by the Catholic Church out of sheer jealousy. At this time the Mexica had the greatest library in the world, with more books of more subjects than any other in the world. (Soustelle) Spanish "religious" leaders, particularly Zumarraga, sacrificed the Native American religious leaders, thinkers and teachers to the Catholic Gods. The trespassers imposed laws on the people restricting the practice of indigenous religions and forced Catholicism on the masses. The Amerindians were punished severely when they spoke their native tongue. They were disciplined even worse if they so much as mentioned the indigenous theologies. The image located to the left is from the Mexica Movement.

A common practice throughout the “Americas,” including what is now the United States, Mexico & Central America, was the forced indoctrination of children at an age when they are most susceptible to ideas. The invaders removed children from their homes and obligated them to learn the European language(s), religion(s) and customs. They were forced to cut their hair and dress in European clothing. The children were punished with beatings if they so much as uttered a word in their own language.

The Virgin of Guadalupe & Juan Diego
Perhaps the most prevalent symbol of pride for natives (full and mixed) from Anahuac is the “Indigenous” Virgen de Guadalupe. The Virgin of Guadalupe is actually a symbol from Europe, not Mexico. It was of Islamic origin, but the Spaniards found it as they expelled the Moors from their land, and considered this dark-skinned virgin a sign from God. The invading forces of Cortes brought the flag of the Virgin of Guadalupe with them as they conquered the indigenous civilizations. The entire history of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Ixachilan is one gigantic fraud. For more info on the  Myth of the Virgin of Guadalupe please click here.

According to legend, Juan Diego, a native Mexican, had a vision of the Virgen at Tepeyac, or so they have taught us. Images of Juan Diego clearly depict a Spaniard, not a native or mixed person. Juan Diego, assuming that he existed, was a puppet of the Spanish Catholic Church who was sent to witness the phony coming of the Virgin Mary. With this one act of treachery by the Catholic Church they were able to persuade millions of Natives to follow their immoral religion:

To consider the imaginary virgin who brought in a new era of destruction, a Christian one, to be Tonantzin is disrespectful to the Nahua people and to all Native Americans. Tonantzin was powerful and deadly. The Virgen de Guadalupe is a slave of the MAN-made Christian religion, which according to the "word of God," will not even allow women to speak in church:

EXCLUSIVE Christian Land Rights
English invaders flocked into Native American territory in hopes of exploiting the land and the people for economic gain. Under their own fabricated laws only Christians were entitled to land ownership. This allowed them to steal the Native Americans’ land with no remorse. These thieves claimed that animals are considered occupants, as were the Native Americans, who were nothing more than savages:

The wounds of the invasion run deep inside of us. We must learn to reject the European religions so that we can free ourselves mentally before we free ourselves physically. We must go back to before the Europeanization, when women were respected, before the Spaniards infected us with their Catholicism and machismo. We must not allow Europeans to demonize our people by using words like "bloodthirsty" and "savage" when in reality they have committed worse crimes against humanity than any other group in the history of the world.
