this story some years ago caused a furor in the network. Maybe the anger is no longer the same, but its present is more than essential. The author of the article is Venezuelan Luis Brito Garcia and public October 6, 2003 to celebrate the Day of Indigenous Resistance, held in Caracas, but others say it was first published in the newspaper Nacional of Caracas October 18, 1990.
(Exposition of the Cacique Guaicaipuro Cuatemoc to the meeting of Heads of State of the European Community 02/08/2002).
Here am I, Guaicaipuro Cuatemoc have come to find those who are celebrating the discovery. Here am I, a descendant of those who colonized America 40,000 years ago, I came to find those who found only 500 years ago. Now here we are everyone. We know what we are, and quite. We will never have otherwise.
European customs brother calls me a written document with visa to discover that I discovered. The European moneylender asks me to pay a debt contracted by Judas, who never authorized to sell. The European pettifogger explains that all debts must be paid with interest even if it means selling human beings and whole countries without their consent. I am discovering.
I also I can claim payments and I can also claim interest. It appears in the Archives of the Indies, paper on paper, receipt after receipt and signature after signature, only between 1503 and 1660 came to San Lucas de Barrameda, Spain, 185 000 kilos of gold and 16 million kilos of silver from of America. Plunder?. Do not believe me!. Because it would be to think that our Christian brothers missed his seventh commandment. Pillage?. Tanatzin forbid to figure that Europeans, like Cain, kill and deny the blood of your brother!. Genocide?. That would mean giving credit to slanderers like Bartolome de las Casas, who equated the discovery and destruction of the Indies, or extremists such as Arturo Uslar Pietri, which states that the outburst of capitalism and the current European civilization was due to flooding precious metals. No!. These 185 000 kilos of gold and 16 million kilos of silver must be considered the first of several friendly loans of America, for the development of Europe. Otherwise it would presume the existence of war crimes, which would mean not only to demand the immediate return, but the damages damages.
I Guaicaipuro Cuatemoc prefer to think in the least offensive of these hypotheses. So fabulous capital exports were only the beginning of a plan "MarshallTesuma" to ensure the reconstruction of the barbarian Europe, ruined by its deplorable wars against the Muslim religion, creators of algebra, polygamy, the daily bath and other achievements over of civilization. So, to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the loan, we can ask: European brothers have made a rational, responsible or at least productive of the funds so generously advanced by the international American Indian background?. Deplore say no. Strategically, they squandered in battle of Lepanto in invincible armies, in third reichs and other forms of mutual extermination, with no other destiny to end occupied by the Yankee troops from NATO and Panama, but without a canal. In financial terms, have been unable, after a moratorium of 500 years, either paying the principal and interest, the independence from the net revenues, raw materials and cheap energy that they import and supply all the third world. This deplorable picture corroborates the claim that Milton Friedman as a subsidized economy can never work and compels us to claim for its own sake, the payment of principal and interest who so generously have lingered all these centuries in charge.
saying this, we clarify that we do not beat it to collect from our European brothers the despicable and murderous and rates of 20 to 30 percent interest that the European brothers they charge to third world peoples. We only demand the return of the precious metals advanced, plus a modest fixed 10 per cent, accumulated only during the last 300 years, with 200 years of grace. On this basis, and using the European formula of compound interest, inform our discoverers should we, as a first payment of its debt, a mass of 185 thousand kilos of gold and 16 million silver, both figures raised to the power of 300. That is, a total number for the expression of which would require more than 300 figures, and far exceeding the total weight of planet Earth. Very heavy are these piles of gold and silver. How much blood would weigh calculated?. Argue that Europe, in half a millennium, failed to generate sufficient wealth to pay off the low interest, would be tantamount to admitting their absolute financial failure and / or insane irrationality of the assumptions of capitalism. Such metaphysical questions, of course, we do not worry the American Indians. But it requires the signature of a letter of intent to discipline debtors peoples of the old continent, and to compel them to fulfill their commitment through early privatization or restructuring of Europe, enabling them to give it to a whole, as a first payment of the historical debt. "
When the Indian chief Guaicaipuro Cuatemoc gave his lecture to the meeting of heads of state European Community, he knew he was exposing a view of international law to determine the true debt. Now it only remains that some Latin American government have the courage to make the claim before the International Tribunals.
