I pointed out to you, <sigh>, the signing by your presidente of the Kyoto treaty, and the fact that that treaty is not now US law - the reason why is precisely the same reason why the secret treaty of Velasco was never mejicana law, and never valid .... well, that added to the fact that it was signed by a quisling who had a gun to his head at the time
It's completely moot anyway - the events of the invasion begin long before ... 1816 i believe was the time of the first trip of Moses Austin to Tejas, though i could be wrong on that, might have been 1818ish, but i am fairly certain it was well prior to 1820 ... the most significant acuerdo signed by him was i believe in 1821 [with the government of Iturbide?], but there were others prior to that ..... none of the agreements signed were lived up to by the slaver contingent, and none of them covered lands south of the Nueces
It is this simple - the slavers wanted the land of the indígena, they had the numbers of population and military power necessary to take those lands, they hated catholics especially those speaking spanish, so they wiped out the people and took the lands .... that's the whole story up to the end of the Porfiriato pretty much, though Juárez and Lincoln were friends and allies, they couldn't do much to help each other as they were both up to their necks in war at the time ... then later things slid back to the same old routine of the anglo/slaver contingent taking the lands of the indígena, which gave rise to the ire of Zapata et al, and then .... ah but you'll see we're getting close to the present, where you are so uncomfortable
History began a long time before Moses Austin even ... before the virreyes, before Cortés, before Tezcatlipoca even .... there is a great deal of it really, and always for two hundreds centuries at least the indígena have figured into the history of these lands .... hard for you to imagine perhaps, living in Occupied México as you do, with that exceedingly narrow little view of humanity you hold dear, but hey, just a fact ..... and history proceeds, on and on ... you can get off if you wish, but you can't stop the world while you do
You type incessantly, and have decided to be a permanent pimple on my ass, follow me around these threads ad nauseam ... this says, again, a great deal about you .... could it be that you are that deeply disturbed by the wondering whether your daughter is at this moment with an indígena? .... ah, not to worry mate ... cálmate, in my next online time i hope to have an actual conversation with a human being, so in the meantime just please reflect on the wisdom in this small poem translated from the nahuatl -
Yo Netzahualcoyotl lo pregunto
¿Acaso de veras se vive con raíz en la tierra?
No para siempre en la tierra:
sólo un poco aquí.
Aunque sea de jade se quiebra,
aunque sea de oro se rompe,
aunque sea plumaje de quetzal se desgarra.
No para siempre en la tierra:
sólo un poco aqui. |
