The Forgotten White People Of Black History


Slavery continues on today. India and China being number one and two respectively with the largest amounts of slaves. It isn't always so black and white with Africans in chains and Chicken George dancing to please whitey.

Patrick Francis Healy with a typical Irish potato like head

In the 1820's a plantation owner in Georgia, Michael Healy took a liking to his slave Mary Eliza. She was mulatto, born from a black slave girl and a white owner. Healy fell in love and while he couldn't marry her due to the law he lived with her in as his common-law wife.

Like Jefferson dicking his slaves and Trump grabbing and kissing employees I'm sure there wasn't any free will or consent on the female side.

They had a load of children and legally those children could be sold as slaves. The Healy's sent their kids up north so they could get out and get educated. They had difficulty in the Quaker schools and then went to Catholic schools and colleges. Patrick Healy and 3 of his brothers then attended a new  Jesuit school.

It wasn't because they were mixed race that they had trouble fitting in, it was because northerners took exception to the children of slave owners ... yeah, fucked up in this situation huh. Hardly their fault.

 James Augustine Healy, Bishop of Portland, Maine



Patrick was the first  African American to graduate from the Jesuit school. He had many other firsts like earning his decorate in Belgium and being the 29th President of Georgetown University. He changed the curriculum to include science more and modernized their medical training. He traveled the US and Europe, usually with his brother James who was a bishop.


He always considered himself Irish-American. As you can see by the picture he could certainly pass as white. Of the other brothers one became a priest, one a sea captain and his 3 sisters nuns though one left the order because she liked cock too much.       

 
Michael Augustine Healy is the most interesting to me. He became an officer in the United States Revenue Cutter Service. He patrolled the 20,000 miles of Alaskan coastline for more than 20 years and commanded several vessels.

He earned the nickname Hell Roaring Mike as well as the respect of semen and natives. His ship the USRC Bear was a thick hulled early type of ice breaker. He enforced laws and treaties, protected the whale and seal populations and delivered, mail, supplies and medicine to far flung villages. He hunted down deserters, returning them to their ships and collected weather data.

He also helped introduce reindeer from Siberia to Alaska as a source of food for natives. The New York Sun reported on this in 1894.


Unlike many at the time he cared about the native population and his standing order was 'Never make a promise to a native you do not intend to keep to the letter.'     

His heavy drinking was noted by his superior who threatened to take Healy's command away. This was enough to scare him as he loved his ship more than anything (don't tell his wife) he pledged to 
never to touch intoxicants of any kind or description.

He retired at the mandatory age of 64 and a year later died from a heart attack. Retirement can be a death sentence for some.

James, Patrick, Alexander Sherwood, and Michael

While Michael was the first African-American to command a US government ship he identified as white Catholic Irish-American during his life time. 

Those days and even not too long ago if you could pass for white you did. I can't find any pictures of the 3 sisters so yeah as well as the obvious sexism there was the obvious racism and the difficulty to advance yourself unless you were a white male. 

The family were quite successful and that was mostly down to their father having the money to send them away to be educated. 

Michael and cock loving Martha who left the convent only had children out of all the siblings. Michael's son Frederick went on voyages with his father he carved his name on a rock on a remote island and noted that he was the only 'white boy' to have done such a thing. He became a newspaper man then a businessman.  

Their mixed race only really came out in the 50's and 60's as this family didn't discuss it in private letters or documents but James and Sherman were described as being visibly black. 

So many modern racists and bigots would be shocked at who is really in their family tree, get the fuck over it. There is only one race.

Andrew Jackson True American Hero

I cannot tell a lie I did cut down that tree ... got a fucken problem with that? 

Andrew Jackson is in the news again. No they have not released a Jackson 5 greatest hits. He has been tagged. A historical tag. In a Spongebob ep Patrick Star said that if you have a famous ancestor then that takes the pressure off you to achieve anything.  It's like that, compare yourself to the hero of the Battle of New Orleans and people will love you by proxy. That's Donald Trump's hope.

A brief history of Jackson. His parents came from Northern Ireland so he was fully stocked up on the stubborn gene. 
His Da died at the age of 29 just 3 weeks before Jackson was born. During the Revolutionary war his older brother Hugh died from heat exhaustion after a battle. Andrew and his other brother Robert became couriers but were captured. 

       
They were made to clean boots and were used as cum buckets by the British officers. When Andrew used his teeth during a blow job an officer struck him with a sword. 

During their captivity they were starved and contracted smallpox and Robert died. His mother put out for the troops and got Andrew released. She volunteered as a nurse on two prison ships full of prisoners of war and after an outbreak of cholera she died.  

An orphan at 14. For some reason after all of this Andrew had a seething hatred of the British ... we'll probably never know why. 

Not on good terms with his extended family he lived with various people, learning to make saddles and studying the law. To make extra money he worked as a porn actor under the name of Old Hickory because his wood was so hard. When he became a lawyer he bought a slave and fought a duel with another lawyer that offended him ...  like you do.

He worked as a lawyer buying and selling Cherokee and Chickasaw land under the 'land grab' act of 1783. Then he ran for Senate, bought a plantation that grew cotton and became a Colonel in the  Tennessee militia because while he was just a captured teenage courier in the army he was also a rich elite slave owner with a temper.  Perfect officer material. 


Jackson had a hard on to kill the British and during the war of 1812 he got to do so. In fact he got to kill everyone. He believed the Spanish worked to arm the Native Americans for the British who paid them for each enemy scalp taken. Jackson kicked Brit, Diego and Injun butt. 

After the war he fought the Seminole and Creek Indians and prevented Spain from making their territories in Florida a refugee for runaway slaves. Spain eventually sold their Florida land. 

Jackson a national hero and feared by many as he was quick to execute ran for president. The campaign against John Quincy Adams was a nasty one. Lock him up, build a stockade and drain the marsh were often heard shouted at Jackson rallies. 
Jackson was attacked for being a slave owner and the dishonest media accused Jackson's wife Rachel of bigamy ... which was true but still ... how dare you!

His wife became ill and died of a heart attack 3 weeks after Jackson was elected. Jackson believed those that accused her brought on her death.

Melania recently won a case against the Daily Mail when it suggested she worked as an escort. Things change and things stay the same.  


Jackson didn't put politicians into his cabinet but instead chose businessmen ... who does that sound like? 

Well that cabinet failed and there was a big scandal about the Secretary of War's wife being a prostitute. Most resigned or were fired. In his time Jackson made  70 treaties with Native American tribes as well as a policy of Indian removal from tribal lands. When gold was discovered on Cherokee land he forced them out to Oklahoma on the Trail of tears which killed up to 4,000 Cherokee. 

The Cherokee had won the right in court to stay on their land but fuck em eh. 


The irony that Jackson fought to abolish the Electoral College has to be recognized.  That was how Trump managed to get elected even though Hillary Clinton had more than 2.86 million more votes than he had. 

While Jackson loved the south he imposed high tariffs which put the hurt on cotton growers, his overall love was for a strong Union. Later he lowered the trade tariffs but it wasn't enough. He had to send warships to Charleston harbor and threatened to hang any man who worked for secession of the southern states. 

South Carolina as the President declared, stood on "the brink of insurrection and treason" he denied the right of secession and signed a bill saying he'd use military force to keep the Union. 

He fought against big banks, namely one that was started up to help the country after the war of 1812. Jackson said it had too much foreign investment and was corrupt so he fixed it by removing federal money ... so 5 years of one of the worse recessions in US history. 

It was an unemployed house painter who tried to kill Jackson but his two pistols misfired. He blamed Jackson for the loss of his job. Legend has it that Jackson tried to beat him with his cane. The would be assassin was found to be insane and spent the rest of his life in an asylum



In his time the abolition of slavery started to become a talking point. Texas broke off from Mexico and became a Republic. He fought between 10 -100 duels, owned 300 slaves in his lifetime and 51 at the time of his death.    

He died aged 78 from tuberculosis, dropsy, syphilis, bad acne and heart failure. He stated his two main regrets in life was that he didn't get to shoot a certain senator and hang a former Vice President. 

Yeah he was a bitter ol cunt and his Scots/Irish blood no doubt made him to ornery to die. A war hero ... yeah he was good at killing people and using fear to keep everyone else in line. He called martial law once and attacked Spain who the US wasn't even at war with, he gave no fucks.

     
He now overlooks every decision and tweet made by number 45 and thinks, 'who the fuck is this ass clown?' a rich pampered corrupt draft dodger. He'd have no respect for Trump what so ever. Trump talks big but once he started to talk about grabbing pussies in the presence of Jackson he'd be cane whipped and challenged to a duel. 

Jackson was a tosser but ever since his wife was accused of bigamy and his Secretary of War's wife had her honor questioned ... well he just refused to accept anything bad said about a lady, even if it was true. 

Trump said that Jackson saw the civil war coming and wasn't happy. He also said that if Jackson had lived a tad later he'd have managed to stop it from happening. 

Jackson was more worried about the British trying to invade again if Texas was annexed. He avoided the slavery issue in case it gave the British a way to weaken the Union. Going by his previous actions he would have done the same a Lincoln and sent warships. While Jackson was from Tennessee he wouldn't have let any cunt break up his Union and so would have sided with the north. 

Push comes to shove he wouldn't have compromised. A stubborn Ulster cunt like him would have said "NO" and killed all round him. Luckily no one felt as if they could test him on this issue.  He avoided the break up of the Union and got to keep his slaves. 

The only option in the civil war was to abolish slavery and that had to be done by force and to keep the south from seceding which was the main reason for the civil war. 

Trump's version of history is pretty poor considering he had the best education money could buy, guess you can take a horse to water but you can't make him think. 

    Jackson hated everything British but Loyalist idiots in Belfast put him on a mural

Jackson adopted three sons, 2 were Native American but died of illness and I doubt he was a very hands on father. Trump is only hands on with his daughter.

Jackson is Trump's hero and someone Trump could never be but he'd like to be. Maybe it's the slave owning bit. He is nothing like Jackson at all except they used people and saw them as property.

Oh Jackson was just a product of his time you can't judge him today ... um plenty of people back then knew slavery was wrong so wise up. He was supposed to be a Christian too.
Now he'd be classed as a white supremacist, hey I can't be racist look at my adopted sons ... yeah sure I committed Indian genocide but still, I let the boys into the main house sometimes.I have a big heart!

Like Trump, how could he be a racist he knows Ben Carson and Mike Tyson. Lets settle for bigoted asshole. 

Yet again we learn even more about the useless 45th President when he speaks off script and shares his knowledge, or lack of.

Whitewashed History Goes Black

 
 Of the sail ship Enterprise. 

The University of New South Wales .... in Australia not Wales has been accused of  "rewriting history" because they prefer to use the term invaded when it comes to Captain Cook rather than how he discovered Australia or settled it.
Cook claimed Australia for Britain in 1770 but like America there were already people there. In fact there were 250 tribes of Aboriginal people living there so it wasn't exactly discovered.

A term for this has been called Columbusing obviously after Christopher Columbus who didn't really discover Jack or shit, go ask the Vikings who didn't discover it long before him.

 Cook making friends in Hawaii just before they killed him.

A forced colonization is an invasion if you have to rid yerself of the indigenous population first but back then people of colour weren't classed as being human so fuck em right? Things only mattered to the civilized white man, it was a man's werld, a white man's werld.
In the 1780's 50% of Aborigines died of illness, was this like the small pox blankets given out to Native Americans? Some suspect that natives were exposed on purpose but there isn't any proof. What happens on the far side of the werld stays there.

From the first discovery of Australia right up to the late 1920's there have been many slaughters of indigenous people carried out by soldiers, settlers and local police. Isolated areas have held the story of murder and rape for decades.


Aborigines were classed as flora and fauna and only got the status of being human in 1967. It's a similar story to the Native Americans though they got their rights sooner but rights for ethnic people still have to be fought for a lot of the time. 

All these "native" savages had laws and arts but were seen as primitive to western eyes. The Aboriginal culture was 60,000 years old by the time the white man arrived. When they were going walk about in the bush the Neanderthals were dominant in Europe. 

The Australian Aboriginal people have the longest continuing religion in the world with rock art that is 7,000 years old but depicts plants from 20 - 40,000 years ago. I don't think they needed or wanted to be discovered. 

Sure they were isolated and had stone tools, they also didn't farm because they lived symbiotically with the land and didn't have cities to feed. 



Then there are the Stolen Generations. One such story was from the 1950's, a woman who was taken aged 2 with her sister aged 4. They were playing outside while her mother was inside talking and social services took the children.
The other children were told to not say a thing or they'd be taken too so the mother thought the kids had been killed in the bush. 

The sisters were taken to Marella Mission Farm, a Church of England run home for children run by a white married couple that insisted the children call them mum and dad. While the couple lived in a house the children were housed in a chicken coop. The children mostly ate sandwiches and even baby food.

Older kids looked after the young ones and they worked on the farm and during Christmas holidays they were sent to other families for a couple of weeks. Anything they had been given by those families was taken off them upon return and sold. 
They were told lies such as coming to the farm with sores and covered in lice with abusive parents and many were too young to know better but the older kids that were more like parents to them told them the truth.  

For years the mother had thought that her children were dead but eventually got them back but the trauma prevented them from being a close and happy family. 

Thanks a lot Captain Cook ... dick! 

The history rewriting is more of a revision not told from a conqueror's point of view but from the point of view that everyone involved are human, they are all people. Not the white civilized European and the dirty dark skinned primitive. 

Yeah we invaded and we killed and didn't think anything of it. History needs to be true for all of those involved.

Jack The Ripper Revealed


Experts from the science department of the university of Canbridge started 4 months ago in anylising what they believe are the fingerprints of the famous serial killer Jack the Ripper found on a knife near one of the gruesome murders.


The Hibit's Spectroscopic Analyzer is a device named after Dr Rupert Hibit of the university which can pinpoint the differentiation within the absorption line thus reading degraded fingerprints that couldn't possibly be read before. 

Jack the Ripper killed 5 women in London in the late 1800's and then was never heard of again. Suspects for the murders have ranged from Polish immigrants to Prince Albert the Duke of Clarence. 

Retired NYPD cold-case detective Ed Norris says it is a criminal named James Kelly who stabbed his wife to death in 1883 and then escaped prison in 1888. (the time of the murders) Norris then said that Kelly may have been responsible for murders in the US. Kelly turned himself in in 1927 and died 2 years later of natural causes. 

And Jack the Ripper is ....


Simon Besksford, who coincidentally enough is a researcher at Canbridge university. Dr Hibit was not available for a comment, probably quite shaken and distressed that someone he knew and had worked with turned out to be Jack the Ripper. 

Modern science coming to the rescue once again, case closed.

Winter Is Coming

The road, One of the most miserable movies ever!

If you don't learn from history then you are doomed ~ C-3PO. I forget most history because having been alive for so long my brain deletes shit or I'd be a mass of psychological issues, imagine Old Knudsen being a mass of psychological issues .... killing prostitutes because he was never hugged as a child is bad enough, not that Old Knudsen ever does that because that would be wrong and probably illegal. 

Going to a prostitute for a hug is like going to a McDonald's for a salad.

I just want to remind you all about 536 AD, what you don't remember? In 536 AD there was a dust cloud that hung in the sky from Europe to Asia, it lasted between 12 - 18 months and affected the world for 10 years afterwards. 

Michael the great, the head of the Syriac Church said: "The sun became dark and its darkness lasted for one and a half years... Each day it shone for about four hours and still this light was only a feeble shadow...the fruits did not ripen and the wine tasted like sour grapes."

Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus said: "So we have had a winter without storms, spring without mildness, summer without heat".


The Annals of Ulster reported a failure of bread from the harvest in 536 AD. No Veda, not worth thinking about it's just too depressing.

Anonymous wrote: "The sun began to be darkened by day and the moon by night, while ocean was tumultuous with spray, from the 24th of March in this year till the 24th of June in the following year... and the following winter in Mesopotamia was so bad that  from the large and unwonted quantity of snow the birds perished."

Now a days Anonymous just calls you a fucker and wishes death onto you for voicing an opinion. 


All the accounts from the time say the same thing, shit got serious.

Beijing weather forecast, chewy with a hint of diesel and rocket fuel ... at least it's dry.  

China couldn't see all the usual stars in the sky and two years after 536 AD they would get summer snows, frosts, drought and severe famine which killed off 80% of the population. 

Tree rings from North and South America, Europe and Siberia all record slow growth 10 -15 years after the dust veil had gone so things did not get much better for a long time, adding to that the outbreak of smallpox across Europe. Dark ages? More like the fucked up ages. 

Things were so bad that in Scandinavia that up to 90% of the population died. We know this from the deserted villages, and the huge amounts of gold offered as sacrifice shows they were pretty desperate.


So what caused this to happen? Old Knudsen's first thought was a meteor strike, ya know like the one that caused the Ice-age and killed the dinosaurs. That is one of the theories and two undersea craters have been found off the coast of Australia and Norway 11 and 7.4 miles wide respectively that fit the bill. 

Due to the acidity found in Greenland's ice core samples the better theory points to a volcanic winter ... though they also found debris from possible impacts. Science ideed, call it Guessience instead.

El Salvador’s Lake Ilopango volcano erupted around that time, scientists don't have an exact date but can pinpoint it to a couple of decades using radiocarbon dating and tree ring analysis. Ilopongo is still alive and active so it could very well happen again. 

Or it could have been Mount Tambora of Indonesia, the Rabaul volcano of Papua New Guinea or even Krakatoa ... hey maybe it was meteors and volcanoes or numerous volcanoes .... combined with dragon attacks. 

It was a time when people starved and if you shared yer food with yer fellow man you'd starve too so cunts who hoarded and were mean rose to the top and the plague meant you were quite paranoid too. Maybe that explains why people today are so slow to help others, deep rooted fear from previous lives.

Did such events or previous events go towards adding to Norse mythology? The Fimbulwinter is three successive long winters where snow comes in from all directions, without any summer. During this time blood ties would mean nothing, incest will make a come back and brothers will kill brothers .... probably over who gets to shag Ma. 

Fimbulwinter was the run up to the Norse Ragnarok, I'm sure the events of 536 AD with 90% of people dying would make you think it was Ragnarok, the end of the world  or maybe it dated back to 650 BC when the Nordic cuntries climate became a lot colder .... damn you climate change! 


That climate change thing that people get their panties in a bunch over, as if they could do something about it. In the 1300's there was more than 20 years on ongoing famine due to excessive rain that destroyed the crops, this led to many a war and invasion.  

The thing is that as we spin around in space it may not seem like it but our existence could just turn on a moments notice. The drought in Callyfornia or Taiwan due to over population, poor water conservation and the lack of monsoon rains or the constant snow that North America seems to be getting the last few years, all it takes to remind you just how little we are is a volcano in Iceland to erupt and stop all air traffic in northern Europe. 
Events we don't even glance at on the news can lead to the perfect storm of disaster by then it's too late to act .... Why didn't someone do something 5 years ago?    

 Radiation from Fukushima has reached the Canadian coast.

This shit has been going on for centuries, it's with typical human arrogance that we blame mankind for it, as if we have a say. We build nuclear power plants on seismic faults on the place known to Geologists as the ring of fire because of its active volcanoes, we are that dumb. I'm surprised we've lasted as long as we have. 

Mother Nature can just decide enough is enough and one of her many volcanoes might just blow its top and then a can of beans will finally be an acceptable method  of payment for sex workers ... yay! Cos I have loads.   

Nature will always find a way, maybe that is what she has been doing over the centuries.

Ancient Black Ops


The Yesterday channel which is the UK version of the History channel pisses me off, maybe it's the slogan "Entertainment inspired by history" that does it, not sure. I've seen them advertising Ancient black ops which they say is a look as forces of old who were the equivalent of modern special forces.

Having served with special farces and being old I think I should have been at least a consultant for this show as I'm broke but ohhhh no.

Sure Persian assassins, even Japanese Ninjas could have been special forces but not the Vikings.

  Special forces do not have rape in their eyes. 

Being crazy, brutal and unpredictable does in no way make you black ops. They show clips of these black ops warriors and ya know what they are doing? Killing unarmed monks, that's what. 

The Vikings were more like US Marines who are good but not that special. Black ops are mostly done in secret, the monks and unarmed villagers being clueless does not make Viking attacks a secret. 
Look, a big fucking boat full of screaming bikers with axes ..... how fucking covert.
