"Without censorship, things can get terribly confused in the public mind."

William Westmoreland United States Army four-star general (1914 - 2005)

A compilation for feelthechange.org/hh - From the heart to the world

This compilation of extracts of voices from history has been put together as food for thought; to help people think about some of the key events that happened and/or shaped our understanding of history today. It is not a definitive guide to what happened. This is something that we will have to make sense of, in time.


"Paleoanthropologists long thought that the peopling of Europe followed a route from North Africa through the Levant. But genetic data show

that the DNA of today's western Eurasians resembles that of people in India."

"The Basques in Spain and France, the little, dark Welshmen, the Scotch and Black Celts to the West of the Shannon River in Ireland, as

well as the same kind of men in Brittany and Equitane in France; the Guanchis of the Canary islands and the Berbers in Africa are all

probably the remnants of the same race."

Extracts from Riddles of prehistoric times by James H. Anderson (1911)


"The first inhabitants of southern Europe, northern Africa, Arabia and France and the British Islands were a race of small men, who did not average in height more than 4 feet 5 inches. They were of slight build

with dark complexions. They were cave dwellers from Lemuria. ...They were an African people..."

Extracts from Riddles of prehistoric times by James H. Anderson (1911)


"THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF A MASSACRE—no mass graves, no piles of bones. Yet more than a million men vanished without a trace. They left no

descendants. Historians know that something dramatic happened in England just as the Roman empire was collapsing. When the Anglo-Saxons first arrived in that northern outpost in the fourth century A.D.—whether as immigrants or invaders is debated—they encountered an existing Romano-Celtic population

estimated at between 2 million and 3.7 million people. Latin and Celtic were the dominant languages... So what happened?"

Who Killed the Men of England? by Jonathan ShawHarvard MagazineJuly-August 2009


"In European history, the Middle Ages, or Medieval period, lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the collapse of the Western

Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery."

"The Migration Period, also known as the period of the Barbarian invasions or of the Völkerwanderung ("migration of peoples" in German), was a period of

intensified human migration in Europe from about 400 to 800 AD during the transition from Late Antiquity to the Early Middle Ages. This period was marked by profound changes both within the Roman Empire and beyond its "barbarian frontier". The migrants who came first were Germanic tribes such as the Goths, Vandals, Angles, Saxons, Lombards, Suebi, Frisii and Franks; they were later

pushed westwards by the Huns, Avars, Slavs, Bulgars and Alans."

"The Romans, scholars believed, provided a common enemy, and that unified the disparate Germanic tribes."

Who Killed the Men of England? by Jonathan ShawHarvard MagazineJuly-August 2009


"The rigid and repressive English class system some believe is a direct result of the Norman Conquest when Norman French became the language

of the court and upper-classes and Anglo-Saxon English the language of the peasantry. For example, the Normans ate pork, beef, mutton and

poultry, whereas the Anglo-Saxons looked after and ate pig, cow, sheep and chicken. The middle class was fond of wine; the working-class loved

beer."

"Resentment of the Spanish Imperial Army under the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in the German states is of a later date and has a distinctly religious

character. The Schmalkaldic War of 1546 and 1547 had Charles’ Catholic forces entering Protestant parts of Germany in an attempt to stop the spread of

Luther’s heresy. Although Charles’ forces were victorious in defeating the League of Protestant forces, the new beliefs continued to spread in this northern

part of Europe. It was due to the heroism of Charles’ son, the great Philip II, King of Spain for much of the latter part of the sixteenth century, that southern

Germany remained Catholic."

"Charles V sought to ensure the succession to the imperial throne for his son Philip II (1527–1598) at the Diet of Augsburg in 1550/1551. The project certainly failed, but the imperial request alone provoked massive criticism, as is evident

in a song popular at the time: "Kein Walch soll uns regieren, / Dazu kein Spaniol, / Sie tun uns nur verführen, / Sein aller Untreu voll ....“ 20 Supporters of Luther in particular increasingly saw the imperial policy as Spanish and Catholic, and for this reason the princes of the Holy Roman Empire rejected the so-called

"Spanish succession"."

“Philip II received from his father an inheritance which encompassed half the world. He reigned not only over the Iberian kingdoms together with a large part of Italy and

the Netherlands (the latter from the Burgundian inheritance), but also over the Spanish territories in the New World and the lands in the far reaches of the Pacific

that still carry his name today. Furthermore, in 1581, the Portuguese estates in Tomar recognised Philip II, who had married a Portuguese princess, as their king. And this meant not only rule over Portugal, but also Brazil, many coastal regions of Africa and India, and numerous islands of the Indonesian archipelago and far-away Macao in China. Philip II was thus genuinely the first world ruler, whose word could

be ignored in only a few parts of the world, not even by his political opponents or those who resisted him. This enormous accretion of power meant that everywhere

criticism of the king mixed with criticism of Spain and the Spanish.”

"The perfect identity of the rites, ceremonies, traditions, and even the names of the deities, among the Mexicans and ancient Babylonians

and Egyptians, are a sufficient proof of South America being peopled by a colony which mysteriously found its way across the Atlantic."

H.P. Blavatsky (1831 - 1891)Founder of the Theosophical Society


"It is well documented that the actual defeat of the Aztec and Inca, was accomplished by warriors of the native tribes, they who had been used by the Aztec and Inca as a source of victims for their ritual sacrifices."

realhistoryww.com


"The capacocha ceremony, involving a ritual sacrifice of children, was an important part of the Inca Empire, and it is interpreted today as one of several strategies used by the imperial state to integrate and control its vast empire.

According to historical documentation, the capacocha ceremony was performed in celebration of key events such as the death of an emperor, the birth of a royal

son, a great victory in battle or an annual or biennial event in the Incan calendar. It was also conducted to stop or prevent droughts, earthquakes,

volcanic eruptions and epidemics."

"The artifactual evidence does seem to strongly suggest that the conquest of the Americas came about because of a "Race War".

Apparently those light-skinned people of Mongol extraction, saw White Europeans as potential allies, and took advantage of the coming of

White Europeans, to free themselves from Black tyranny. They became allies of the Spanish, and for their service, were initially spared - that

changed later."

"It is common in American textbooks to extol the nobility of purpose of English colonists while Spaniards who came to the New World are contemptuously called cruel, greedy seekers after gold. Englishmen are “homebuilders” and

“settlers” who were willing to make the new land their home, while the Spanish are described as “seeking their fortunes” while enslaving and murdering the

natives. The truth is actually quite the opposite. It was the English who saw the native Americans as enemies and tried to exterminate them. (Indeed, their

policies were carried on by the American government when they expelled the Indians from their ancestral lands and resettled them on “reservations.” This

problem is, sadly, still with us today.)"

catholicism.org


"Black Legend, Spanish Leyenda Negra, a term indicating an unfavourable image of Spain and Spaniards, accusing them of cruelty and intolerance,

formerly prevalent in the works of many non-Spanish, and especially Protestant, historians. Primarily associated with criticism of 16th-century

Spain and the anti-Protestant policies of King Philip II (reigned 1556–98)."

global.britannica.com


"The myth of “Nordic superiority” had already spread to the German states. It was accepted belief that the Spanish were a “race set apart” because of

their smaller stature, darker skin, and “impure” blood. Luther exhibited violent anti-Jewish feelings; therefore, Protestant Germans were taught that Spanish blood was tainted with the blood of the Jews (and the Moors) who had lived among them for centuries. Catholic Germans were considered

traitors to the Fatherland, with the ridiculous rumor being spread that Spain was planning an alliance with the Turks to attempt to subjugate the German

people."

“The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall stick to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.”

2 KINGS 5:27:Bible of King James VI of Scotland and I of England(1566 - 1625 AD)



“The Thirty Years' War (1618 –1648) was a series of wars principally fought in Central Europe (primarily present-day Germany), involving most of the European countries. It was one of the most destructive

conflicts in European history, and one of the longest continuous wars in modern history."

"The Jacobite Risings were a series of uprisings, rebellions, and wars in Great Britain and Ireland occurring between 1688 and 1746. The uprisings were aimed at returning James VII of Scotland and II of

England (the second son of Charles I), and later his descendants of the Black House of Stuart, to the British throne after he was deposed by

Parliament during the Revolution of 1688. The series of conflicts takes its name from Jacobitism, from Jacobus, the Latin form of James."

"Between 1650 and 1775, many thousands of Scots were banished to the American colonies for political, religious, or criminal offenses. Following the

English Civil War, Cromwell transported thousands of Scots soldiers to Virginia, New England and the West Indies. An additional 1700 Scots were expelled as enemies of the state after the Covenanter Risings and 1600 men, women and

children were banished as a result of the Jacobite Rebellions of 1715 and 1745. A directory of Scots banished to the American plantations is available at

Genealogical Publishing Company. Mr. Dobson, author, provides a list of these banished Scots who are the ancestors of thousands of Americans living today."

“All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the

Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our

Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should

we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People.”

Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)One of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America


“On seeing that head, typically Negro in all its features, I remembered the remarkable passage where Herodotus says: 'As for me, I judge the Colchians to be a colony of the Egyptians because, like them, they are black with woolly hair...’ In other words, the ancient Egyptians were true

Negroes of the same type as all native-born Africans.”

Count Constantin Francois de Volney (1757 - 1820)French philosopher, abolitionist, historian, orientalist, and politician


"And this race of Black men, today our slave and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, sciences, and even the use of

speech! Just imagine, finally, that it is in the midst of people (i.e., Americans) who call themselves the greatest friends of liberty and humanity that one has approved the most barbarous slavery, and questioned whether

Black men have the same kind of intelligence as whites!"

Count Constantin Francois de Volney (1757 - 1820)French philosopher, abolitionist, historian, orientalist, and politician


“It cannot be maintained by any candid person that the African race have ever occupied or do promise ever to occupy any very high place in the human family.… The Irish cannot; the American Indian cannot;

the Chinese cannot. Before the energy of the Caucasian race all other races have quailed and done obeisance.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)An American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century.


“Hungary it seems must take the yoke again, & Austria, & Italy, & Prussia, & France. Only the English race can be trusted with Freedom."

"Our idea, certainly of Poles & Hungarians is little better than of horses recently humanized."

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)An American essayist, lecturer, and poet, who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century.


“What I relate is the history of the next two centuries. I describe what is coming, what can no longer come differently: the advent of nihilism...

For some time now, our whole European culture has been moving towards a catastrophe, with a tortured tension that is growing from

decade to decade: restlessly, violently, headlong like a river that wants to reach the end, that no longer reflects, that is afraid to reflect."

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)German philologist, philosopher, cultural critic, poet and composer


“Extermination must be put on a scientific basis if it is ever to be carried out humanely and apologetically as well as thoroughly.”

"We should find ourselves committed to killing a great many people whom we now leave living... A part of eugenic politics would finally land us in an

extensive use of the lethal chamber. A great many people would have to be put out of existence simply because it wastes other people's time to look

after them."

Nobel prize winner George Bernard Shaw, playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics (1856 - 1950)


"Mussolini... Hitler and the rest can all depend on me to judge them by their ability to deliver the goods and not by... comfortable notions of

freedom."

Nobel prize winner George Bernard Shaw, playwright and a co-founder of the London School of Economics (1856 - 1950)


“A rigid system of selection through the elimination of those who are weak or unfit - in other words social failures - would solve the whole question in one hundred years, as well as enable us to get rid of the undesirables who crowd our jails, hospitals, and insane asylums.”

Madison Grant, author of Passing of the Great Race, (1865 - 1937)


"The empires of the future are the empires of the mind."

Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)Politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and also from 1951 to 1955.


“The unnatural and increasingly rapid growth of the feeble-minded and insane classes, coupled as it is with steady restriction among all the thrifty energetic and superior stocks constitutes a national and race

danger which it is impossible to exaggerate. I feel that the source from which the stream of madness is fed should be cut off and sealed before

another year has passed.”

Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)Politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and also from 1951 to 1955.


“The question of the quality of our hereditary endowment is a hundred times more important than the dispute over capitalism or socialism.”

Extract from the paper The Principles of Human Heredity and Race Hygiene by Eugene Fischer (1874 - 1967)German professor of medicine, anthropology and eugenics. He was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity, and Eugenics


"The Black Legend remained particularly strong in the United States throughout the 19th century."



"In a word, we understand by black legend, the legend of the Inquisitorial, ignorant, fanatical Spain, incapable of figuring among civilized nations today

as well as in times past, always ready for violent repressions; enemy of progress and innovations, or in other words, the legend which having begun

to spread in the sixteenth century, arising out of the Reformation, has constantly been used against us ever since, and more especially in critical

moments of our national life."

Julián Juderías Spanish historian, sociologist, literary critic, journalist, translator and interpreter (1877 – 1918)


“My God, we didn't know the Egyptians were niggers!”

The Anzac troops (The Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) Quotation attributed to their arrival in Egypt during the First World War (1914 – 1919)


“The civilization of Egypt and Africa in general, is the most written about and the least understood of all known subjects. This is not an accident or an

error in understanding the available information. Except for Egypt, African people have been programmed out of the respectable commentary of

history. They have laid the foundation of what they call Western Civilization on a structure that the Western mind did not create. Simply put, at the same

time they were stripping Africans of their ancestry, Europeans were claiming this ancestry.”

Dr. John Henrik Clark (1915 - 1998)Professor of African World History and author


“From his perch in London, Carlyle saw the Irish as a people bred to be dominated and lacking historical agency. He took for granted that

Saxons and Teutons has always monopolized the energy necessary for creative action. Celts and Negroes, in contrast, lacked the vision as well

as the spunk needed to add value to the world."

Nell Irvin Painter (1942 - )American historian notable for her works on southern history of the nineteenth century and author of the The History of White People


“I, too, am convinced that our ancestors came from Africa. Whether or not all this came to pass in an East African ditch, I wouldn’t like to say.

Perhaps it happened in North Africa or further west, but Africa was definitely the place.”

Richard Leaky, Paleoanthropologist and conservationist (1944 - )


“For most of history, Africa was the most advanced continent."

The Language of Genes by Professor Steve Jones (1944 - )

Geneticist and former Head of the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment at University College London, author, journalist and broadcaster


“Joseph Gobineau, the father of modern racist ideology, in his 1854 ‘Essay on the Inequality of the Human Races’ wrote that ‘Everything great, fruitful

and noble in the work of man on this earth springs from the great Aryan family’. He persuaded himself that the Aryans had spread to found the

cultures of ancient Egypt, Rome, China and even Peru and that ‘all civilisations derive from the white race’.”

Professor Steve Jones (1944 - )Geneticist and former Head of the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment at University College London, journalist, broadcaster and author of The Language of Genes


“The worst thing that colonialism did was to cloud our view of our past.”

Barack Obama (1961 - ) President of the United States of America and Author - Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance


“We did not see even one single individual that could be considered as a descendant of the homo erectus in China, rather, everybody was a

descendant of our ancestors from Africa."

Jin Li, Chinese Genticist (1963 - ) Professor at the National Human Genome Center and Fudan's Institute of Genetics, both in Shanghai, China


"If publishers and editors exert themselves to keep certain topics out of print, it is not because they are frightened of prosecution but because

they are frightened of public opinion. In this country intellectual cowardice is the worst enemy a writer or journalist has to face, and that

fact does not seem to me to have had the discussion it deserves."

George Orwell (1903 - 1950)Novelist, essayist, journalist and critic
