1584 The Spanish Killed Nearly 8.5 million Natives In The Caribbean In The First Fifty Years Of Columbus Landing In San Salvador
1584
The first written record describing Hatteras Island of any length is that of Arthur Barlowe in 1584.
In 1584 the English were at war with Spain. Spain had colonies all over the Caribbean and had made a fortune in gold, sugar and other resources.
It was theorized by the English military that raids could be made into the Caribbean to steal Spanish ships and deal her a mighty blow in the war. A very successful raid had already been carried out by Captain John Hawkins that stole a ship full of slaves.
The Spanish had killed nearly 8.5 million Natives in the Caribbean in the first fifty years of Columbus landing in San Salvador. They hung the Natives 13 at a time in honor of the apostles and Jesus. They tied children by the ankles and fed them to hunting dogs and burned some alive.
Sugar was worth more than gold at the time and the Caribbean quickly was converted into one giant plantation of Sugar. Of course Africans began to be enslaved by the Spanish and Portuguese to harvest all of this sugar.
The lands of the Natives were ravaged at a phenomenal rate. Spain was a military super power especially by sea and King Philip had his eye on the whole of England.
The English wanted a naval base in the New World for privateers to launch raids against the Spanish. Although the word privateer did not yet exist it is exactly what the English were. The Queen got 10% of Spanish prizes and only the Spanish were to be attacked. This was an opportunity for men to become extremely rich in very little time and helped the over all war for the English.
Thus, in 1584 a recon mission is sent to the New World to find a great privateer base. In addition to this privateer base any profitable resources were to be noted as well as profitable trade with the native population. Captains Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe set out in two ships to accomplish these objectives.
They crossed an inlet that would be just north of the modern village of Buxton and landed on the Island of Croatoan on July 4th of 1584. This was the first time the English had ever set foot in the New World, 23 years before Jamestown and 37 years before Plymouth Rock.
The following are excerpts from Barlowe complete with the spelling and grammar of the times:
“This lande lay stretching it selfe to the West, which wee found to bee but an island of twentie miles long. (From modern day Buxton to Hatteras Inlet today is 20 miles). Under the banke or hill whereon we stoode, we behelde the valleys replenished with goodly cedar trees, and having discharged our harquebus-shot, such a flocke of Cranes (for the most part white) arose under us, with such a cry redoubled by many echoes, as if an armie of men had showted all together. This island had many goodly woodes full of deere, conies, hares, and fowle, even in the middest of summer in incredible abundance.”
The first ever meeting between the English and Native Americans was that of one curious man who took his canoe to a point of land opposite where the English were anchored in the sound. The English took him onto the ships, fed him and gave him some gifts. Immediately upon returning to the shore this man fished for the English and left them two piles of fish, one for each ship.
“And after he had spoken of many things not understood by us, we brought him with his owne good liking, aboard the ships, and gave him a shirt, a hat & some other things, and made him taste of our wine, and our meat, which he liked very wel: and after having viewed both barks, he departed, and went to his owne boat againe, which hee had left in a little cove or creeke adjoining: as hee was two bow shots into the water, he fell to fishing and in less then halfe an houre, he had laden his boate as deepe, as it could swim, with which hee came againe to the point of lande, and there he divided his fish into two parts, pointing one part to the ship, and the other to the pinnesse..”
The following morning the English awoke to see about 100 people standing and sitting on the beach. Among them was Granganimeo the chief of the island, whose brother was the paramount chief of the entire kingdom, which stretched well inland. A trade relationship began:
“When we shewed him (Granganimeo) all our packet of merchandize, of all things that he sawe, a bright tinne dish most pleased him, which hee presently tooke up and clapt it before his breast , and after made a hole in the brimme thereof and hung it about his necke, making signes that it would defende him against his enemies arrows.”
“We exchanged our tinne dish for twentie skinnes…They offered us good exchange for our hatchets and axes, and for our knives…he (Granganimeo) himselfe had upon his head a broad plate of golde, or copper for being unpolished we knew not what metal it should be…”
Barlowe and his crew also observed how the Natives made canoes and where shown evidence of another European nation (probably Spanish) that had shipwrecked on the island some 26 years prior.
“They have no edge-tooles to make them (canoes) withal: if they have any they are very fewe, and those it seemes they had twentie yeres since, which, as those two men declared, was out of a wracke which happened upon their coast of some Christian ship…out of whose sides they drew the nayles and spikes, and with these they made their best instruments. The manner of making their boates is thus: they burne downe some great tree…and putting gumme and rosen upon one side thereof, they set fire into it…they cut out the coale with their shells…very fine boates and such as will transport twentie men.”
From Barlowe’s report, we know they entered an inlet and took a left to an island that was 20 miles long and ran from East to West. Later, Barlowe and 7 others left this island and “wee came to an island called Raonoak,…” Only 8 men of the entire company ever went to Roanoke Island in 1584. The rest of the men stayed on Hatteras Island where they had landed.
The famous Manteo and Wanchese along with one other native (who died in England) were brought back to England to be used as interpreters on the return voyage in 1585 and to entice investors to finance the return trip. The deerskins of Hatteras Island caught the eye of wealthy leather merchants who helped finance the return trip in 1585. The military operations against Spain were still the number one objective though and the Outer Banks looked like the perfect spot for a base. Queen Elizabeth was willing to send a decent war ship to accompany any fleet the investors could come up with provided she still got 10% of Spanish plunder.

Love For Life does not support harm doing in any shape or form. However, we are supporters of free speech and post articles, documentaries, etc, that represent a wide cross section of ideas. See the Love For Life extensive research library where over 7000 documents, articles and videos are posted: http://loveforlife.com.au/issues. We clearly see the evidence of the destruction to MAN and the earth that has been caused by ALL religions over the centuries and are therefore not supporters of religions, cults, sects or any group that demands conformity of thought, speech or action, or has rules, regulations or rituals that must be followed. Religions, nationalities and cultural "identities" are formed as a result of the brainwashing we receive from childhood. They are part of the tactics the Establishment uses to keep us all divided from one another and fighting one another.
All religions promote discrimination and division, leading to hatred and even violence and murder. None of them have yet to produce a remedy to all the suffering, poverty, unhappiness and discrimination in the world. If any religion truly had the remedy to all the suffering on earth, there would no longer be any suffering. What have Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, atheism and the New Age done to end the suffering in the world?
The Love For Life website has information from all sides on many subjects, whether about Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Law, health, psychology, mind control, vaccination, aspartame, MSG, Chemtrails etc. There are over 6000 articles, documentaries etc on the website and they are so diverse that we are sure that everyone would be able to find something they loved and something they hated, if they took the time to search. If we removed all the articles hated by everyone, there would probably be nothing left! We are not anti anyone but freedom of speech is freedom of speech and no one should condemn the work of another without taking the time to research the subject themselves. Yes, there are articles by those who have a less-than-rosy-viewpoint of Judaism, but there are also articles on the dark side of Tibetan Buddhism (and it is very dark) for those who are interested in the truth: Tibet - Buddhism - Dalai Lama: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/6271 Should the authors of these articles be abused and imprisoned for daring to challenge the widely conceived reputation of Buddhism as being the religion of peace and love and that of the Dalai Lama as a saint, or should those interested be allowed to study the work and come to their own conclusions? The same applies to all the articles, documentaries, etc, about Christianity, Islam, Freemasonry, New World Order, etc.
The Love for Life website also shows how the Rule of Law, the Bar, the Government, the Monarchy, the system of commerce, the local, national and multi/trans-national private corporations, all the courses and careers on offer from our universities, all the educators, scientists, academics and experts, the aristocrats and the Establishment bloodlines have also done NOTHING to end the suffering in the world. The website maps the insanity of a world where there is no help for those in need, just as there was no help available for us when we were victims of terrible bank fraud: http://loveforlife.com.au/court_case (orchestrated, condoned and protected by an international crime syndicate/terrorist organisation of judges, barristers, registrars, lawyers, politicians, banksters, big business representatives, media moguls and other lackeys who, all together, put up a wall of silence despite our trying many, many avenues. After the family home was stolen and business destroyed we were left close to poverty and destitution caring for 4 young daughters. Three years later not much has changed regardless of all our efforts. Where were all the followers of all the religions to help us? Or do we have to be members of those religions to receive help from others involved in them?
We have been accused of being anti - Jewish because we had posted an excerpt from James von Brun's book: Kill the Best Gentiles! http://loveforlife.com.au/node/6054 in which he blames Jews for the problems of the world. Obviously this is not our view because of what we have stated above. We do not hate anyone, whatever religion they follow. We are always open to talk to any religious leader or politician and meet with any judge, member of the Bar, experts, academics, educators etc to share the remedy we offer that heals all the divisions between MAN and MAN, and MAN and the EARTH.
Today, a representative of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies is threatening to close the website down, because they have decided it is anti - Jewish and that we promote racism. What has the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies done to end the suffering in the world? Can they show that they are concerned with the suffering of ALL men, women and children AND ARE SEEN TO BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT or are they only concerned with Jewish affairs? If so, they, along with all the other religions that only care for their own, are part of the problem, not part of the solution. The man who rang Arthur today was only concerned with Jewish affairs; he was not interested in our intentions or in anybody else, just as most Christians, Muslims, Sikhs, Catholics, etc, are only interested in their own. While we separate ourselves into groups, dividing ourselves from others with rules, regulations, rituals, procedures and conditions, we will never solve our problems.
No matter what we in the Western World Civilisation of Commerce have been promised by our politicians, religious leaders, scientists, educators, philosophers, etc, for the past two hundred years, all we have seen is ever-increasing destruction of men, women and children and the earth. None of the so-called experts and leaders we have been taught to rely on are coming up with a solution and none of them are taking full-responsibility for the fact that they can't handle the problem. All religious books talk about end times full of destruction and suffering but why do we have to follow this program when there is an alternative to hatred, mayhem and death? Why are our leaders following the program of destruction and death rather than exploring the alternatives? It seems that any mainstream politician, priest or academic are only interested in supporting the RULES OF THE DIVIDE, that maintain the haves and the have nots. For 200+ years, 99% of the world population have been so trained to pass on their responsibility for themselves, others and the earth, that the 1% of the population that make up the leaders of the rest of us are making all the decisions leading to the destruction of all of us and the earth. Let's not forget the education system that brainwashes the 99% of the population that we are free and have equal rights while, in fact, we are feathering the nests of those at the top.
At the root of all our problems is self-centredness, an unwillingness nurtured by the Establishment that keeps us concerned only with our own needs rather than the needs of others around us and the Earth. Instead of creating and releasing acts of love for those around us as gifts to benefit them and the earth, we take, take and take, until there is nothing left. The whole point of the Love for Life website is to show people the root of all our problems and to share the remedy. The extensive research library is there to attract browsers and to provide access to information not available through mainstream channels. If the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies can, after careful examination of our work, prove that anything we are saying is wrong, we will be happy to accept their proof. If they cannot, and they are still insistent on closing the website down, they will be showing themselves to be traitors to MAN because they are not interested in pursuing any avenue that can end the suffering in the world.
All religions, corporations and organisations that support and maintain the Western World Civilisation of Commerce are part of the problem because our civilisation is a world of haves and have nots, racism, violence, hatred, poverty, sickness, discrimination, abuse, starvation, homelessness, corruption, collusion, vindictiveness, social unrest, arrogance, ignorance, fear, war and chaos. While we support civilisation, we support death and destruction because ALL civilisations that have ever existed are apocalyptic by design.
If we truly want peace on earth and freedom for all, we have to let go of all that which keeps us divided, and come together as MAN, conscious living co-creators of creation. The Love For Life website offers a remedy to the problems we all face in the form of DO NO HARM COMMUNITIES: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/3641 For more details see here: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/6511 and here: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/3385 - We also highly recommend that everyone read the brilliant Russian books called The Ringing Cedars: http://loveforlife.com.au/node/1125 - The Love For Life homepage/front-page also provides lots of inspiring remedy based information: http://loveforlife.com.au - If you want to be kept up to date with our work please register to the Love For Life mailing list here: http://loveforlife.com.au/content/09/05/14/campaign-mailing-list We usually send two postings per month. Presently there are over 4600 registrations reaching over 200,000 readers globally. The website now receives over 7 million strikes per month with January 2010 reaching almost 7.2 million strikes.
