Glad he’s not bowing to the Turks.

The Pope is right. And I suspect we are entering a new genocidal era.

In 1901, President Porfirio Diaz of Mexico began his “extermination and deportation” policy of Indians resisting his government. Between 1902 and 1908, between 8,000 and 15,000 Yaquis, out of an estimated population of 30,000, were internally deported by train, as slaves, to the henequen plantations in the Yucatan or to the sugar cane plantations in Oaxaca. Many died in captivity, either by killing themselves or by foul treatment. Many were killed for sport.

The Yaqui were the main target for deportation but Opata, Pimas and Mayos were also removed.

That wasn’t 20th Century. However, I am surprised at how little mention the Yaqui deportation gets. The Indians of northwestern Mexico were not conquered by the Conquistadors, as they had converted to Catholicism early, and were under the protection of the church.

They remained almost autonomous until the late 19th and early 20th Century. And those that were deported to southern Mexico were not allowed to return to the north until the 1940s.

You’re right. That makes it OK then.

This is very big. The Government of Turkey is very, very sensitive on this subject and has quietly warned many other governments not to mention this historic fact.

The Genocide Game - ©2014 by Trevor Patrick

Come and play the Genocide Game!
Don’t be shy, give it a try
You could win a great big prize!

Like blood! Blood and skulls!
Blood for the Blood God!
Skulls for the Skull Throne!

Everyone loves them
a good genocide,
some to slide the definition,
while others to completely deny

and some that once happened,
suddenly no longer happened,
for political expediency,
or the designated moral outrage this week:

Like the million and a half Armenians
that never died in 1915
that’s just a dastardly, dirty lie
and a gross insult to Turkey!

And 25,000 Syrians dead?
Pardon me while I yawn.
But 165 dead Palestinians?
This is an outrage! Such genocide must NOT go on!

And remember Rwanda?
Yeah, I didn’t either;
at least, not ‘til I cleaned
the bottom of my birdcage.

800,000 dead Africans?
Who gives a shit about brown people!
Here today, guano tomorrow:
the only ones who give a crap
are the Christian missionaries-

Who are bringing them Jesus,
so they can later be beheaded or necklaced for Allah-
by the Shifta, the Janjaweed warlords,
or maybe by Boko Haram.

Or how about that powerful statement,
that was made by Pol Pot,
when he built those pyramids
of Cambodian skulls?

Or the new Islamic Caliphate,
busy with their ethnic cleansing of all the Christians,
those brave Jihadi freedom fighters, whose biggest worry
is that their beheading blades might become too dull?

But not so much a peep in the mainstream news-
you’ll never even know their names
not when there’s a few more dead Palestinians to report on,
and yet another opportunity to assign the Jews all the blame-

and once again, the ‘facts’ become fluid,
and the ‘news’ becomes propaganda,
and we just keep right on playing,
the Genocide Game.

When rhetoric right out of 1930s Germany,
is hot and fresh all over again,
and all the old hates
have barely even changed.
Like: let’s talk about the worst lie
in all the history of mankind:
Those dirty, hook-nosed Jews, and their so-called ‘Holocaust’
where six million of their kind supposedly died?

And they’ve spent sixty years
rubbing this lie in our faces
as flimsy justification
for the theft of Palestine!

Just like they rob all our gold
and our little Christian and Muslim angels
for their infernal and satanic,
blood-drinking rites

and why do we ONLY ever hear
about that fantasy six million
but NEVER about the Polish and the gypsies,
the mentally handi-capable and the Queers?

Schindler’s List won a handful
of Academy Awards in 1994,
but it’s now dismissed as nothing but Jewish propaganda,
and only after the space of twenty short years.

And those dirty Jews refuse to stop claiming
that six million of their kind died in the camps?
You KNOW its a conspiracy!
It didn’t actually happen!

And don’t forget the fact
that Ernst Zundel and David Irving
got themselves deported and banned,
for calling out that very ploy

and now, barely a decade later
their words are not only accepted,
but they’re considered to be chic
and trendy talking points!

Because, after all, they say:
apart from their theft of Palestine,
the Jews are history’s most dastardly villains,
and guilty of ALL of humanity’s crimes!

How DARE they try and fight back?!?
Why aren’t they defeated yet?
Why won’t they get with the pogrom
because those Christ-Killing Kikes deserve whatever they get!

Because everyone knows they control academia-
which gave rise to Israeli Apartheid Week,
and it’s accepted fact that they control the banks-
which are practicing Boycott-Divest-Sanction as we speak.

And we know they control the United States government-
which is condemning them non-stop as of late,
and we know they control the internet and mass-media-
which has become a mouthpiece for politically-correct, hipster Jew-hate.

And just like those accursed, dhimmi Christians in the Middle East-
why won’t they just accept Islam at long last?

And just like the average, white male of the Western World,
who can’t accept that his time is now passed.

So shut up about the so-called ‘Camps!’
What about Dresden and Hiroshima?
Shut up about the Hebron Massacre,
the Spanish expulsion and the Inquisition,
and shut up about your so-called ‘Shoah!’

Shut up about the Warsaw Ghetto,
and the cattle cars and the baby-skin lampshades,
and the splotches of Prussian Blue,
and all of that other false news!

And stop telling everyone those vicious lies
that you’re old enough to have had neighbours
who all had those little
arm-number tattoos!

Just like there were no Jews in the World Trade Center
during the 9-11 inside-job,
which PROVES once and for all
that it was a false-flag setup by the defense contractors
with help from Mossad!

But it was Stalin, who understood the Genocide Game
the best of all
knowing that seeing a few dead people
is nothing short of horrific

but when you add a few zeroes to the end
of the number of dead,
it becomes an easy-to-dismiss
and rather boring statistic.

And best of all,
given a few generations of separation,
and enough growing backlash
against remembrance-

Trendy opinion
will ALWAYS swing around to:
WHAT Genocide? Its a lie!
That so-called ‘Holocaust’ never happened!

People have been carrying out genocidal acts and ethnic cleansing since ancient times. I used to be very critical of Andrew Jackson, but with all fairness his own family had been brutalized by Indians during the American Revolution, and in his time, the southern tribes remained a very tangible threat, which is why he deported them.

When similar situations happened elsewhere, like with the Navajo, Kit Carson was blunt that to avoid a major war, there were only two choices: to kill every Navajo man, or to kill every Navajo horse. He opted for horses.
