OF CEMANAHUAC,
THE ORIGINAL INHABITANTS
OF THIS CONTINENT.
WE ARE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE

MEXICAN,

(INDIGENOUS PEOPLE)!
INTRODUCTION
We, the people who are known
as Mexicans and “Central and South Americans,”
are not allowed to speak as Nican Tlaca (Indigenous
people). But we are in reality Nican Tlaca
(Indigenous people). We are the people who
are called Mexicans, “Central and South
Americans”. We are over 180 million
strong just in what is called "North
America" (with over 32 million in the
“U.S.”). We are projected to be
over 50% of the “U.S.” population
in the next 100 years.
We are not allow to speak as Nican Tlaca.
We are not allowed to speak collectively as
one people. We are not allowed to speak outside
of the artificial European borders that separate
our people by false nations, imposed languages
and religions, and by the raped DNA that force
us to speak falsely as "Indios"
and "Mestizos". We are only allowed
to speak of ourselves as the slaves of, the
property of Europeans, as Hispanic, as Latino
and Latinas.
+
We are not allowed to speak of the stolen
land of our people. We are also not allowed
to speak of the biological warfare that killed
23 million of our people (killing 95% of our
population in the 16th century). We are almost
forbidden from speaking of the European destruction
of our cities and civilizations, the enslavement
and rape of our people, and the ongoing cancerous
colonialism that eats away at our people’s
humanity. We cannot say any of this very loud
without being called “racists”
or “whiners”. What irony! We are
told to stop playing the victim, to forget
about the past. We are not playing the victim!
We are being victimized by racism, through
the theft of our land and our wealth. We are
being erased (exterminated, eradicated, killed-off)
as a Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) people through
cultural assimilation, the enforced ignorance
of our people, and the false labeling of our
people as Hispanic and Latino (pretending
as if we are part of the colonialization,
part of the oppressors, as if we no longer
exist as an Indigenous people).
When we speak of European crimes in this document,
you have to understand that these are ongoing
crimes of the people of European descent.
If you are one of our people, you are a victim
of these crimes. The rest of you who are of
European descent are an active or passive
participant in the crimes that we are speaking
of.
These crimes are not of some distant past
or in some Third World land. It is here and
now, in the “good old USA”. The
colonial crimes have not stopped. The land
is still stolen, the wealth is still being
taken from our land, and ignorance of the
criminal birth of European capitalism has
everyone blissfully partaking in this looting
of the wealth of our land and all of its resources.
We are told not to speak of the crimes committed
against us because European descent people
might get their feelings hurt if they are
collectively called racists, thieves, murderers,
and holders of stolen property. It is felt
that they will see themselves as being attacked
for just being part of the “white”
race, not for being descendants of people
who committed the most monstrous crimes in
the history of humanity or for the fact that
they are still profiting from the crimes of
the last 500 years.
They behave like
gangsters, like terrorists, they want to keep
the stolen property and at the same time they
want to keep us poor, deprived of the wealth
of our land. And they want us to not complain.
The Jews are not called racists for pointing
out the crimes of the Germans against their
people. We hear again and again about the
holocaust of 6 million Jews, but never of
the 23 million people of Anahuac (Mexico and
“Central America”) that were killed
by another group of Europeans called Spaniards.
Cortez was one of Hitler’s Aryan heroes.
We are supposed to forget about the past crimes
of the Europeans and we are supposed to ignore
the ongoing crimes against us (by the European
descendants). If we try to educate people
on this history, we are again called racists
for using words like invasion instead of “discovery”,
pirates instead of “adventurers”,
squatters instead of “settlers”,
Genocide instead of “conquistadores
and frontiersmen”, and occupation instead
of “America”.
This information was written with a serious
urgency and alarm because our people are today
faced with the biggest disaster that has happened
to us since 1492, when Columbus broke the
door into our continent and nation with his
band of European murderous pirates. His fellow
Europeans broke into the rest of our continent
and began a looting, raping, enslaving, destruction,
and killing that has not stopped to this day.
Our disaster today is this Genocidal Hispanic/Latino
labeling of our people.
We in the Mexica (Meh-shee-kah) Movement have
been sounding the alarm on this attack because
we see that this Hispanic/Latino agenda
is like a terrorism that is bombing-destroying
our past and bombing-destroying our future.
The Cuban-Spaniard descent controlled Spanish
language media out of Miami has intentionally
confused our people as to their true identity
and history in order to exploit and control
the value of our Mexican/”Central American”
majority demographics (Spanish speaking and
Spanish surname) and the buying power of our
people that fuels that so-called Hispanic/Latino
label.
This Hispanic/Latino agenda is reconstructing
and resurrecting the old parasitic and racist
Spanish colonial empire. They are using the
spiderweb of an “umbrella” of
Hispanic/Latino “unity” to fool
our people into this new colonialism of Spanish-speaking
Europeans.
It has been bad enough for us that we have
been kept ignorant of our great history of
civilizations and of the scientific, intellectual,
and philosophical contributions that we have
given to the world before the Europeans invaded
our land in 1492; but we are also ignorant
of the crimes that the Europeans have perpetrated
against us.
Today we are losing what little we have of
our Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) identity, and
our Anahuac (Ah-nah-waah-k) history and heritage.
European descendants have told their people
and our people that we are part of the invaders,
that we are the “illegals”, the
foreigners, the thieves, the uncivilized,
the immoral ones, the oppressors. Europeans
and their descendants on our land are the
ones who are all of those monstrous things!
Not us!
Europeans, look at the truth! Open up your
eyes! Look at the criminal in the mirror!
You are European (even if you were born here
on our land-continent, you are still a European!)
You, the European on our land or European
in Europe, you are all responsible for the
collective crimes of your ancestors, for the
crimes that are now being committed against
us.
It has been made very clear
to those of our people that study the actions
of Europeans on our land (not their lying
words), that there is no future for us as
a proud and independent Nican Tlaca people
in their agenda for the future of our land
and our people.
This Hispanic/Latino agenda now controls our
lives, our land, our wealth, our education,
and our media. The Hispanic/Latino agenda
is only different from the Anglo-American
agenda in that it uses Spanish instead of
English. Remember that neither English nor
Spanish are our languages (we have our own
Nican Tlaca languages that are suppressed).
This new deadly Hispanic/Latino agenda is
part of the parasitic and cancerous colonialism
that has been destroying and enslaving us
for over 500 years.
Europeans and European descendants have been
succeeding in the domination of our people
and the control of the resources of our land
because they originally used biological warfare
in the form of smallpox to defeat us and because
they have managed to keep us ignorant of our
great heritage and of our rights to our land.
Europeans were not successful against us because
they were more intelligent or more advanced
than our civilizations. Nor did they succeed
because of their canons, horses, or because
of the European lie that said that we thought
they were “gods”. They succeeded
because they were immoral, collectively sociopathic,
and because they used biological warfare against
us (in savage ways, and for unconscionably
long periods of time, and in proportions that
are unworthy of being called actions of human
beings).
This current genocidal Hispanic/Latino colonial
agenda has been powerful and extremely successful
because there is no defense of our people
or of our people’s interests.
There has been no attempt by any of our (Mexican
and “Central American” descent)
so-called thinkers, writers, or intellectuals
to offer up an option that will get us out
of this colonialism, this racist and genocidal
attack on our heritage and our people.
There is no conscious awareness of this Genocidal
disaster because 100% of these “leaders”
have chosen to embrace the destruction of
our people, to vote for a “white”
future for themselves and to throw our people
into the mouth of this Hispanic/Latino and
Anglo-Saxon colonialist cancer.
In the little that falsely passes as resistance
by our people, we only see passive castrated
dialogues, aggressive cowardice, New Age masturbatory
rituals, Eurocentric individualistic “spirituality”,
writers with a lack of imagination, and the
old fashioned propaganda of ignorance and
treason. Our situation seems hopeless, lost.
We need Anahuac (Pre-European) knowledge,
collective heroes, and our total liberation
from this slavery in which we serve.
The Mexica Movement is an
educational organization for the people of
Mexican, “Central American”, and
“Native American” descent. We
promote the Pre-European history of our people
in a positive and constructive non-Eurocentric
manner, based on the Pre-European books, archeology,
anthropology, linguistics, and other sources
of our Anahuac nation and our Mexica people.
We research all of these sources as a base
from which we can educate, redefine, reconstruct,
and give rebirth and vision to our Anahuac
nation.
We are thinking beyond violence,
beyond counter-terrorism (against the European
ongoing terrorism against our people), beyond
the easy dead-end routes of intellectual masturbation
and the selfishness of Eurocentric individual
“spirituality”. We are way beyond
the cowardice and total dead-ends of ritual,
folklorico, “American” politics,
and Eurocentric genocidal interpretations
of our people’s place in the world.
We are also thinking beyond
the next 30 years, beyond the next 100 years
to a time in our land when our people have
progressively regained their independence
and their honorable place in the world, without
Europeans.
This last paragraph is what is unimaginable
for our people. It is of course even more
unimaginable for the people of European descent
who are having a great old time with stealing
the great wealth of our land and enjoying
the benefits of the slave work and ignorance
of our people.
Even progressive European descent people on
our land who normally speak of the ideals
of truth, justice, law and order, and the
end of capitalism, take a serious pause here.
They temporarily see the logic of our demand
for justice from Europeans and people of European
descent, and they see why they are being made
the target of criminal prosecution (prosecution
for possession of stolen property and for
profiting from the European crimes of slavery,
ethnocide, and Genocide of the last 500 years).
But when they think about it a bit more (selfishly),
suddenly everything becomes cerebral, “ancient
history, irrelevant,” and “not
relating realistically to today’s world”.
We are supposed to continue in our ignorance
and our enslaved and land-resource-wealth-deprived
condition forever, enslaved to Europeans.
How convenient. How profitable. How racist
and arrogant.
All of a sudden we are told that we should
forget about the past, that it was too long
ago, that we should move forward (in the beaten
and robbed condition in which we have been
left in, as a psychologically damaged and
impoverished people who have been denied access
to the wealth of their land).
Where does this same so-called logic of “it
was so long ago” come in when it is
about the Jews and Israel? Wasn’t that
over 2000 years ago? Why has that not been
allowed to be forgotten?
We are not allowed to remember our great civilizations
in a positive and constructive way. We are
not allowed to remember the destruction of
those civilizations by the Europeans. We are
not allowed to remember the 23 million (95%)
of our people who were killed by the Europeans.
We are not allowed to speak of any of this
in a real or meaningful way. But we are allowed
to remember the 6 million Jews killed by the
Germans.
We are not allowed to remember the Genocide
of our people because we might demand justice.
They (Europeans) are afraid that we might
begin thinking in our own interests instead
of the interests of the Europeans who are
now occupying our lands.
The reality of today is that we have no major
or minor leaders teaching us any of these
important facts. There is no one guiding us
out of this cancerous colonialism (of the
Europeans on our land). We have no knowledge
of our legitimate history, the history that
should be our pride, and the pride of the
world. There is no vision for any sort of
future for our people. Treason to our people
and our heritage is popular. There is no shame
in being a sellout. Clairol hair dyes are
making a killing in our communities, across
all the “borders” of our people’s
lands in Mexico, “Central America”,
and in the “USA” where there are
shades of fake blond, fake red, and fake brown
hair. Blue-eyed contacts. Skin bleachers.
Counterfeit Europeans. A blond Nordic spouse
has been presented to us as the ideal spouse,
for an ideal future. Our people are refusing
to marry their own people when they feel they
have a chance to marry “white”.
They are looking for the “white”
exit from our race.
In all of this we are still innocently, or
not so innocently, thinking that Europeans
are a people of justice, a people of morality,
a people of Christianity. Historically they
have been a savage people of lies, of theft,
of immorality, injustice, and Genocide against
our people.
We need to see that the ignorance of our people,
the poverty of our people, the loss of our
land, the loss of our heritage, the Genocide
of our people, the loss of our media, the
destruction of Chicano Studies, the Latino/Hispanic
takeover of MEChA, the blond dyeing of hair
in our communities, the gangs, the problem
of drugs and alcohol, and the hopelessness
of our people, are all tied to this colonialism
that is all around us. This is all about ignorance.
We are ignorant of our beautiful history (before
the Europeans). We are ignorant of our ownership
of all our land, and we are ignorant of our
Nican Tlaca Mexica identity.
What else could explain why our people (as
a whole) like this Hispanic/Latino labeling
so much? Is it because we think it sounds
“whiter” to say Hispanic or Latino
than to say Mexican, Salvadoreño, Nicaraguan,
Honduran, Costa Rican or Guatemalan? In our
ignorance we like the idea of somehow becoming
more “white”. Who taught us this
attitude, this racism?
We already know the European view of the world
that we have been taught all our lives. In
this document we are presenting an Anahuac
point of view--as the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
people of Mexican, “Central American”,
and “Native American” descent.
In this document we present to you all of
the issues that will help you see the racism,
colonialism, and the Genocide that dominates
our lives.

Genocide
Raphael Lemkin defines Genocide as, “...the
planned annihilation [killing] of a national
[Mexican/’Central American’] or
racial group [Indigenous] by a variety of
actions [biological warfare, oppression, enslavement,
denial of Indigenous identity] aimed at undermining
the foundations essential [our Pre-European
Anahuac history and the wealth of our land]
to the survival of the group as a group”.
Colonialism
Colonialism is the European parasitic habitual
crime of invading other people’s land,
stealing their resources, destroying their
society, committing genocide against the majority
of the people, enslaving the remaining population,
culturally annihilating them by executing
their leaders and destroying the pride in
their heritage, and by forcibly occupying
their land with European squatters.
Colonialism is by its nature parasitic in
that it depends totally on the stolen foreign
land and the enforced ignorance of the enslaved
foreign population to sustain it.
Colonialism uses terrorism as its main tool
against the people who are colonized.
TERRORISM
Terrorism is colonialism’s main tool
against Non-European people. It was first
used against us (in the “Western Hemisphere”)
by the Europeans in 1492. The first attack
was by the pirate-terrorist Columbus and his
thugs. The second attack began in 1519 under
the genocidal gangster Cortez in Anahuac.
In the first one hundred years of heavy racist
terrorism, Europeans collectively destroyed
our civilizations by genocidal biological
warfare. These terrorist crimes have continued
against us non-stop for over 500 years. We
are still being kept terrorized by Europeans
in order to finish off their Genocide of our
people. They want to own our land, without
the threat that we may want it back one day.
They want to be assured that there are no
remnants of our people or of our resistance.
INVASION, TERRORISM,
AND GENOCIDE
Section
1
Anahuac (Ah-nah-waah-k) means
“the land between the waters”
in the Nahuatl language of Mexico and **“Central
America”. Anahuac was the
name of our nation before the 1492 European
terrorist invasion of the Western Hemisphere.
Our Anahuac nation is today divided into the
eight European-descent-controlled colonized
areas that are called Mexico, “Central
America” (made up of six “Republics”),
and the “West, South, and Midwest of
the United States”. This last part about
the “U.S.” you need to know, understand,
and be willing to open up your minds about
in the reading of this document.
After the initial 1492 European
invasion and 1519 occupation of our Anahuac
nation by Cortez, the Spanish occupation government
made laws against our people’s rights
to our land, our wealth, and our heritage.
Then they officially passed a law in 1577
[Utopia and History in Mexico by George Baudot
p.xi] prohibiting our people from learning
our history, our theology, and all other aspects
of our Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) Pre-European
heritage and identity. They did this in order
to **culturally
castrate us and to enslave us to
the wants and needs of Europeans. That law
is still in effect today.
During this same period (1519 to 1580) a holocaust
was perpetrated [American Holocaust by David
E. Stannard] against us by the Spaniards with
their use of weapons of mass destruction (biological
warfare using smallpox, amongst other diseases).
This was all part of a planned **Genocide
of our people that killed 23 million of our
people, killing 95% of our population [Course
of Mexican History by Michael C. Meyer and
William Beezley]. This monstrous Genocide
was made possible when Europeans discovered
that we had no immunity to smallpox and other
European diseases. These monstrous killings
were not a matter of accident as we have been
told. The Genocide using biological weapons
of mass destruction started as an ad hoc action
in a few locations, then once other Europeans
learned of this it turned into a general plan
to empty out all of our land by killing our
people with this weapon that Europeans looked
at as a sort of “pesticide”. The
European criminals in this action knew that
this biological weapon of mass destruction
would allow for the easier establishment of
European settlements, and that it would bring
about the end to our resistance to the theft
of our land and its resources.
During this massive invasion of our land,
our cities were destroyed (We had three cities
larger than any city in Europe of that time).
The libraries of our cities were burned (Yes,
we had many cities, and libraries! The majority
of our population lived in cities and large
towns, a very small part of our population
in “North America” actually lived
as nomadic tribes). Our education system of
schools and universities was destroyed and
our professors and leaders were executed [Daily
Life of the Aztecs by Jacques Soustelle].
These Europeans came here to our lands for
the “free land, free slaves, free wealth”
under the outrageous European pretense of
“God’s authorization” to
kill our people, to loot and vandalize our
cities, and the added bonus of what they saw
as the legal right to rape our population.
Those of us who survived this nightmare of
European savage biological warfare and Genocide
were enslaved to serve the interests of Spaniards
and the other Europeans who would come to
take our land. As slaves of the Spaniards,
we were continuously physically raped as a
people (for generations). We were forced to
take on the Spanish language and Christian
religion. We were branded with Christian first
names and Spanish surnames.
In the last 500 years we have
been deprived and robbed of the wealth and
resources of our land, and we have been denied
access to the full scope of our heritage and
identity [Mexico Profundo (1996) by Guillermo
Bonfil Batalla]. We have been racially scarred
and psychologically damaged as a people, with
the **raped-in
DNA of Europeans.
We have up until now been denied our independence
and our right to take back our heritage or
our land--in a real way, not under the European
and European-descent (1% of the Spanish speaking
population) powers that now control Mexico
and “Central America”. We have
been unable to successfully revolt for the
last 500 years because psychologically our
people have been programmed to accept subservience
(slavery). We do not question the theft of
our land or our poverty, and we do not know
or care about the Genocide of 95% of our population
by the savage actions of Europeans.
European descendants now control
our land, our wealth, our people, and the
governance, education, media, economic system,
and the minds of our people--and the past,
present, and future of Mexico, “Central
America”, and our lands in the **“United
States”.
It sounds shocking to us at
first to refer to the Mexican, “Central
American”, and “United States”
area as land occupied by Europeans, as stolen
land, as one united cultural area before the
Europeans invaded. We normally think of Pilgrims,
**Louisiana
Purchase, **Mexican
American War, and frontiersmen,
as if our land was empty of cities and civilizations,
as if the land didn’t really belong
to us and that it really belonged to Europeans
(because supposedly we didn’t believe
in owning land--not true, individually we
could not own land, but collectively we definitely
owned and still own our land). Europeans pretended
as if these criminal acts of trespassing and
theft were not crimes, as if it wasn’t
really Genocide but a simple clearing of the
land. They looked at our people not as the
owners of the land but as animals like wolves
and bears that had to be killed to make the
land safe for Europeans to exploit. They didn’t
see anything wrong if one European would just
trade or surrender part of our land and people,
from the French to the English (the “Midwest”)
or the Spaniards to the Americans (Florida).
We have to understand this history of how
our nation was carved up by the European colonial
powers and European criminal “settlers”
(squatters) who forced themselves on our land.
In the last 500 years we have been completely
exterminated in some of these areas, moved
out of one location into another in other
areas, and reduced in numbers by biological
warfare Genocide (90 to 95% killed) in all
areas and deprived of the ownership rights
to our land (and its wealth) in all of these
areas. We have been impoverished and enslaved
to a merciless savage European capitalist
economic system that is both racist and dishonest
at its core.
We know this history is complicated
and even confusing to most people, **including
our own people. We will attempt
to clarify the most important points in this
document.
HISPANIC LABELS
Section 2
Hispania comes from the Latin
language of the Romans, referring to the country
of Spain [Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged
Dictionary of the English Language (1993)
by Thunder Bay Press]. From the word Hispania
comes the word “Hispanic” which
refers to the people, the language, the culture,
and all things related to Spain. Spain is
a country in southern Europe.
We, the people of Mexican
and “Central American” descent,
are not Spaniards or Europeans, and we are
not in Europe. We are a Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
people. We are one people who are **Mixed-blood
(so-called Mestizo Indigenous) and Full-blood
Indigenous people. We are on our own Nican
Tlaca (Indigenous) land, a land of great natural
resources and wealth, this continent. We are
a people under occupation. We are a people
who have been subjected to massive rape and
cultural castration. We are a people who have
been forced into ignorance, self-hate and
poverty (by the theft of the wealth of resources
that are on our land). We are a people enslaved
within the worldwide empire of European racism,
Genocide, theft, greed, and capitalism.
We are the people who are
mislabeled as “Indians” and insulted
as “half-breeds”, “wetbacks”,
or illegals (May we ask who crossed that great
Atlantic body of water, to fraudulently and
illegally enter our land?). Overall we are
ignored as a people because we are ignorantly
looked on as the remnants of a long-ago conquest
of an **inferior
people. This ignorance is not just
the ignorance of European descent people on
our land; it is also the ignorance of our
own people.
OUR ANAHUAC CIVILIZATIONS
Section
3
If we had not lost our independence and we
had not suffered the Genocide of 95% of our
population, our nation’s name would
today be Anahuac. We would be the Anahuac
nation of over one billion people (in 1519
we had a population of 25 million, and in
1519 China also had a population of 25 million
and today China has over one-billion-three-hundred-million
people. That means it is possible that we
could have had over one-billion-three-hundred-million
people today if Europeans had not killed 95%
of our population--we are today more than
150 million people in Mexico and “Central
America” and over 32 million in the
“U.S.” This means that there are
over one billion of our people that are missing
because of the genocidal crimes of the Europeans).
There were great possibilities
for us as a nation. We were more advanced
than the Europeans of that time [Colonizer’s
Model of the World by J.M. Blaut]. We would
today be the wealthiest and most advanced
nation on the face of the Earth if the Europeans
had not invaded our lands with biological
warfare and aborted the further development
of our nation. And of course Europe would
be nothing like it is today without the wealth
that they have stolen from us, and other parts
of the world, to say nothing of what they
have gained by occupying our lands, from which
they have made **their
fortunes. Fortunes made from our
slave labor (and the slave labor of Africans)
and the minerals, forests, farmland, and the
other great wealth of resources of our land
that they were able to get “free”,
which in turn allowed them the luxuries of
a better life-style, a better education, and
the luxury of investing in the military and
technological research which would advance
their race.
Our Anahuac lands encompassed the cultural
areas influenced by our Olmec civilization
[Mexico by Michael Coe] which started between
2300 B.C. and 3000 B.C. [Mexico’s Indigenous
Past by Lopez Austin and Lopez Lujan]. This
cultural area includes all the lands from
what is today called Costa Rica in “Central
America” and north from there to include
Mexico and what is now called the Western
USA [Ancient Pueblo Peoples by Linda S. Cordell],
Midwestern USA [The Moundbuilders by Robert
Silverberg], and the South of the USA [American
Indians of the Southeast by Theda Perdue and
Michael D. Green].
Olmec civilization brought
about the cultural development of all of these
areas with its science of agriculture. Corn,
squash, and beans were grown in all of these
areas utilizing the sciences that were taught
to them by the civilization of the Olmecs.
Our Olmec ancestors gave us **great
accomplishments in astronomy, mathematics,
writing, and the best calendar system in the
world. Our Olmec father-mother civilization
also developed accomplishments in medicine,
education systems, engineering, and the arts
[American Indian Contributions to the World
by Emory Dean Keoke and Kay Marie].
Our nation was fragmented by the Spaniard’s
1519 invasion of what is now called Mexico
and “Central American”. Our land
was further fragmented by the French and English
invasions into what is now called the South,
and into the area that later became known
as the Louisiana Purchase area. Because of
the invasion of our nation and the Genocide
of our people, all development toward the
unification of all of those areas of our Anahuac
culture came to a halt.
It is true that our nation
in 1519 was not united as a complete modern-day
nation, but the same can be said for **Germany
and Italy in the Europe of 1519, and most
of the nations of the world.
Our Anahuac unity was cultural,
and that culture was based on the civilization
of the Olmecs. Olmec influence was found up
the Mississippi River with the Moundbuilders
(up to the Midwest) and in the Southern states
where there were great mounds and large towns
that were influenced by our Olmec civilization.
The rest of our culture was in the Southwest
with the Anasazi and other cultures, and in
the **Maya,
Zapotec, Teotihuacan, Toltec, and Mexica (Meh-shee-kah)
civilizations of what is now called Mexico
and “Central America”. There were
more cultural ties in the “Western United
States” in the form of linguistic, agricultural,
and theological unity.
This great history and civilization of ours
has to be understood in a non-Eurocentric
way, and in a non-apologist way (in a way
that does not always make excuses for the
monstrous crimes of the Europeans) and in
context of that time (that does not apply
today’s views and standards to that
time, unless we also apply those same views
and standards to the Europeans who at that
time were not bathing in their whole lifetime
and were in all practical terms just murderous
savage pirates and vandals).
It is absolutely necessary that the massacres
of our people, the theft of our lands, and
the destruction of our civilizations and cultures
be understood by European descent people and
our own people in a more humane way, in a
more empathized way, in a totally truthful
way, in a civilized way.
We reject
the status of
our people
as the cultural slaves
of the Spaniards
(with this
“Hispanic/Latino” labeling
of our people).
We also reject the continuation of the cultural
castration
of our people.
We will no longer be denied our heritage,
our history, or our true identity.
THE FALL FROM MEXICAN
TO HISPANIC
Section
4
It is only
since the early eighties that the use of the
term “Hispanic” became more official
and more common in its use. Before that period,
being Mexican, Mexican American, **Chicano/Chicana
was not an issue of total rejection of our
heritage. All of those labels did say that
we were of Mexican descent. But even in those
days our knowledge of our Pre-European heritage
was still weak. We had no knowledge of our
contributions to the world, how ancient our
civilizations were, that we had cities that
were larger than those of the Europeans at
the time of their invasion of our land, that
we had universities, and that Europeans had
killed 23 million (95%) of our people with
biological warfare.
After the 1970’s destruction
of the Chicano movement that began in the
60’s, the **Miami
Cubans hijacked our media and they
began spreading this racist neocolonialist
Hispanic/Latino labeling of our people through
their now-Miami-controlled media. Cubans used
the money of Pre-Castro corruption and exploitation
of their people in Cuba, and the special grants
that the U.S. government gave them, to take
over our media. These Cubans were racist and
oppressive in Cuba to the African descent
Cubans and now they have continued their racist
habits against our people “in the U.S.”
Castro’s revolution called them Gusanos
(parasites).
Gusano Cubans were able to be parasites on
our people because we have no one defending
our interests or guiding us out of our ignorance
and slavery.
Today, that situation is changing. Our people
are now being defended (in this document)
and guided by the Mexica Movement.
Gusano Cubans have had a lot
of success in their racist plan for our people.
Their biggest success is that our people are
today called Hispanic simply because we speak
Spanish. Our own people don’t fully
understand the history of how we came to be
Spanish language speakers to begin with. The
simple answer is that it was by the savage
force of 500 years of European racist genocidal
**colonialism
that we speak Spanish today.
Speaking a language does
not make you part of the culture of that language
or part of the people of that language; ask
the Jamaicans or **African
descent people in the United States
or anywhere else that non-European people
speak the English language. The more enlightened
African descent people will explain to you
that they use the English language only because
of colonialism. It is not their heritage or
their identity.
Having a Spanish surname supposedly is the
other criteria for being labeled Hispanic.
But most of us carry Spanish surnames because
they were forced on us in the same way that
African descent people were branded with British
names (Jackson, Washington, Jones, etc.).
This was done to us in the first three hundred
years of Spanish occupation. We were forced
to take on Spanish slave names on the haciendas,
ranchos, missions, mines, and the other property
stolen by the Spaniards in Mexico, “Central
America”, and most of what is now called
the United States of America. Martinez, Garcia,
Gonzalez, Hernandez, and all of those other
Spanish slave names were all forced on us,
along with their Spanish language.
African descent people have some European
blood that was raped into them, but they are
not called Europeans, Afro-Euros, or Britanics
to glorify that blood. Which brings us to
that other point, which is a taboo in our
community: the fact that we were raped in
the same slave fashion as African descent
people. The English and French raped the Africans
for centuries. The Spaniards also raped our
people for centuries.
They also raped the children
of those who were raped, and on and on for
generations after that. We were raped, but
somehow we have assumed that Spaniards married
into our families. That is how we have the
common lie, the **“oral
tradition”, of “my
grandfather came from Spain”. These
assumptions and lies of our “oral tradition”
are the products of our forced ignorance under
the savage boot of the Spaniards.
The same logic that goes for African descent
people not being called Britanic because they
speak English and have some white blood in
them, also applies to us with Spanish language
and Spanish surnames (and Hispanic/Latino).
No matter how light an African descent person
is, they in general will proclaim their identity
as “African descent”. The logic
and morality in this is something along the
lines of not subjecting a woman to giving
paternity rights to a rapist (not forcing
the rapist’s surname or interests on
the child or allowing for custody rights that
would engender further abuse). That same logic
and morality applies to us as a people when
it comes to the Spaniard’s rape of our
people. We explain it in this “rape
case” way, to say more forcefully that
just because Spaniards have raped their blood
(DNA) into us that fact does not oblige us
to give them paternity rights over us, or
any rights over us or our land. We give no
rights to the culture of those genocidal Spaniard
rapists. Remember that more than 30% of our
people (Full-bloods) have no European blood
at all.
We are
re-defining ourselves
in the context of knowing
our
Pre-European history,
and knowing the crimes
of the Europeans!
We are rejecting the Eurocentric
racist interpretation of our history and the
racist labeling of our people. We are reconstructing
our humanity as a Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
people, as the Anahuac nation, and as the
**Mexica
people. Don’t get confused
on this last part, this is much like how the
nation of the Netherlands (also known as Holland)
has the Dutch people.
It’s never too late for a nation to
reconstruct itself, or to liberate itself.
The Jews did it only 50 years ago. The Germans
and the Italians did it only about 150 years
ago.
There is no logical reason to call Mexicans,
“Central Americans”, or any Indigenous
(Mixed-blood or Full-blood) people by this
culturally enslaving “Hispanic”
and/or “Latino” colonialist label.
The only reason
to insist on using
this Hispanic/Latino
labeling system
on our people
is if you are
working to continue enforcing
the colonialism,
exploitation,
oppression,
and
the cultural castration and Genocide
of our people.
EXPOSING COLONIALISM’S
CANCER
Section
5
Our people still do not have
proportional representation in the Spanish
language television that’s directly
aimed at our people (we are less than 2% of
the faces, versus 98% White European Colonialist-Centric
Spanish Speaking faces). In **English
language films about our “Mexican
culture” it’s pretty much the
same thing with non-Mexicans playing Mexicans
98% of the time. You see the same or worse
in magazines, radio, commercials, and other
media. This is part of disrespect and the
**blatantly
racist attitudes of the European
descent Spanish speakers toward our people.
In Spanish language media we only see white
faces, white people, white interests, and
our people are only occasionally presented,
but as passive servants, wrongdoers, or other
negative roles.
We see Spaniards progressing (Spaniard Antonio
Banderas regularly playing Mexicans in the
movies), Cubans exploiting our people (controlling
Spanish language Univision and Telemundo out
of Miami), and Puerto Ricans and other nationalities
benefiting from our demographics (we are 82%
of the so-called Hispanics/Latinos nationally
and 92% in the Western United States). These
European descendant Spanish speakers are exploiting
our buying power, and our ignorance--ignorance
of the insults that they heap upon us with
their Hispanic/Latino labels and the ongoing
theft of our wealth that is siphoned off from
us by their colonialism.
These same European descent Spanish speakers
present their European “white”
people as the role model, the hero, the beauty,
and the intelligence--instead of the historical
oppressors of our people, the colonizers.
They have taken away from us our independent
voice, our Indigenous civilized mind, our
honor, and our proper place in the world.
These same colonizers present
to us the lie of, “we have common causes,
the same heritage, and we all come from the
same place”. White Cubans and white
Argentines and other Spanish speakers do not
have the same causes or the same heritage
as Mexicans and “Central Americans”.
They are not of Anahuac-Olmec-Maya-Mexica
civilization origins and we are not of Sumerian-Egyptian-Greek-Roman
European origins. They are not discriminated
against because of their **color
or race, because they are white
Europeans; they also do not suffer from gangs,
crime and dropouts, or poverty and low self-esteem
in the high numbers that we suffer. We Mexicans
and “Central Americans” don’t
come from the same place as Cubans, Argentines,
and the other Spanish speakers out of “Latin
America”. Those “whites”
come from a European heritage, from European
origins. We are not of European origin. We
are the oppressed/exploited/enslaved/victims-of-genocide
and they are the oppressors/exploiters/enslavers/perpetrators-of-genocide.
The Nican Tlaca enslaved and the European
enslaver are not the same people.
You have to understand all of this from our
point of view, as the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
people of this land, not as the colonizer,
not as the exploiter, or the invader, and
definitely not as the people committing Genocide
upon our people. Europeans killed 95% of our
people in a very savage way! They are still
destroying us.
Do you really understand what that means?!
You should see it from our point of view;
we have seen it from the European point of
view all of our lives. We will continue to
tell the world of all of these injustices
and crimes. And, we will not “get over
it”!
We also want to address in
this document the European Spanish speaker’s
deceptive idea of “our joint economic
power” as it is presented to our people.
This monstrous lie is the product of the colonialism
machine which totally exploits Mexican and
“Central American” **demographics
and buying power. The Miami colonialism machine
controls, or de facto controls, all Spanish
language media (television, magazines, radio,
public relations firms, marketing, and newspapers).
Cubans and the other Spanish speakers could
never generate the numbers of our demographics
or our buying power out of their minuscule
Miami or New York population, even if they
dragged in the non-white Puerto Rican and
Dominican population to exploit as “Caribbean
unity”.
THE LATIN LIE
Section 6
Latin refers to the language and the culture
of the Romans. This language is the root of
the southern European Latin languages: Italian,
French, Spanish, Portuguese, Catalan, Rumanian,
and several other numerically smaller dialects
derivative of Latin. From the word Latin comes
the Spanish word “Latino”, which
refers to the people, the languages, the culture,
and all things related to the southern Europeans
whose culture is rooted in the Latin language
and the Roman culture.
The secondary historical meaning
of the word “Latin” is in its
reference to the southern European colonial
powers who invaded our **Western
Hemisphere. They (Spaniards, French,
and Portuguese) had in common a European heritage
and race, a Latin derived language, the **Catholic
religion, and racist colonialism
in the “Americas”. These racist
colonialists invaded our Western Hemisphere’s
lands. They did this with a genocidal savagery
that the world has yet to see again. The holocaust
of World War II Jews, Gypsies, and other people
of Europe doesn’t even come close to
the percentage of our population that was
killed or to the cultural destruction that
we have suffered in the Western Hemisphere.
Estimates of the overall
Genocide in the Western Hemisphere
are between 70 and 100 million human lives
killed by biological warfare,
being worked to death,
executed, massacred,
or by the suicide of our own people
to avoid the tortures
and mutilations of the Europeans.
This “Latin”
branding of our people, the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
people of this continent, as property of these
southern Europeans is a total fraud. We are
not their property just because they forced
upon us their names, language, religion, and
the enslavement of our people. This sick inhuman
behavior is pretty much the way they renamed
our continent “America” and “Latin
America”, and how they renamed our rivers
and mountains. It is this racist arrogance
that has Europeans on our lands (refusing
to leave), and how they dared to rename us
as a people, as if we have already been exterminated
(culturally and physically) and that we have
lost our rights to our land and its wealth,
and that we have lost our right to even express
ourselves as Nican Tlaca (an Indigenous people),
and our right to demand our land back. They
find our rights laughable.
The origin of the word “Latino”
in this context derives from the term “Latin
America”. This was to distinguish the
“Latin” part of “America”
from the Anglo-American Protestant part of
“America”. This term was in reference
to the European descent people in all of those
colonial lands.
There is a curious part to all of this though,
since Latino was clearly only meant to be
in reference to the colonists in that “Latin
American” part of this Hemisphere and
was never meant to refer to Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
people and it was clearly not meant to refer
to the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) people in
the United States (us, the people of Mexican
and “Central American” descent,
the Nican Tlaca, Indigenous, Full-bloods and
Mixed-bloods). It was always intended to refer
to the Europeans in their colonies, and the
descendants of those colonists in the Western
Hemisphere. It was not meant for the Nican
Tlaca (Indigenous) people or the African slaves
or the people of the mixing of all those enslaved
and raped races.
According to the new colonialism, a Latino
can be a German-descent person in Buenos Aires,
an Arab-descent person in Madrid, an African
descent person in Havana or New York or Miami,
a person of African descent in the Dominican
Republic, or a Maya in Guatemala who speaks
no Spanish and has no Spanish surname.
In the “USA” these
new Latinos are not **“Latino
Americans”, as in “African
Americans”. We are forced to be Latinos,
international (colonial) in nature. We are
all controlled by the white people in Europe
and the white people in the lost colonies
of the Spaniards. This new colonialism is
not dependant on race or history, it is totally
put together for the colonial economic exploitation
of our people and our land, and the total
benefit of “white” Europeans and
European-descent Spanish speakers.
This new colonialism puts an odd spin on everything
that is logical and fair. We, who are Nican
Tlaca (Indigenous) in our majority (90 to
99%) are controlled by Spaniard descent Full-blood
Europeans and other Europeans who are a tiny
minority. Yet, we find nothing wrong with
that. It seems natural and reasonable to us.
“Latinos” are now anyone, of any
race or culture, in Los Angeles, Chicago,
San Antonio, Mexico City, or anywhere in the
world that there is a Spanish speaking or
Spanish surname people (except Filipinos,
and people in Africa who speak Spanish, for
some strange reason). Can you imagine such
a thing being done (an “umbrella”
to cover all the English language speakers)
in Africa, India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jamaica,
and Aborigines in Australia?
Do you see it now; the idea of an “umbrella”
to include all of the Spanish language speakers
makes as much sense as putting an “umbrella”
over all of the English language speakers.
This same lack of logic and obvious colonialism
also goes for the Hispanic label, which is
not even about Hispanic Americans. This Hispanic
label is about “Hispanics everywhere”.
Logic, consistency, and truth fail miserably
on this Hispanic/Latino agenda. For us, it
is a total disaster. A disaster that is over
500 years in the making.
WHAT TERM SHOULD BE
USED
Section
7
Justice and the end of racism demand
that we get the right to be called Nican Tlaca,
the Indigenous people of Cemanahuac, the collective
owners of this continent that is falsely called
"the Americas".
At the very least we should be called by our
own less colonialized labels: Mexican; Salvadorean;
Guatemalan; Nicaraguan; Honduran; or Costa
Rican, Peruvians, Bolivians, etc. In a total
non-colonial manner, we should be called regionally
in the north of Cemanahuac, as the Nican Tlaca
Mexica people of Anahuac and in the south
of Cemanahuac as the Nican Tlaca Inca people
of Tahuantinsuyo. We are together one people,
on race, one nation, the collective owners
of the whole of our continent from what is
called Alaska to what is called "Tierra
del Fuego."
The people who are forced
into this “cage” of Hispanic/Latino
do not have one racial identity (or one cultural/national
identity) in common, nor do we have one heritage
or history in common, no cuisine or art in
common, and no **genetics
or blood group in common. Colonialism is the
only thing that we have in common, and in
this the colonialists are not the equals of
the colonized and we are not deriving the
same benefits as the colonizer, they exploit
and we are exploited.
European colonialists have had all of the
advantages over us for the past 500 years.
Their second best weapon against us has always
been to keep us ignorant of our true history
of great accomplishments and the crimes of
the Europeans (their best weapon has always
been the inhumane biological warfare weapons
of mass destruction). This ignorance has taken
away our rights to our land, along with knowledge
of the ongoing Genocide of our people.
Our people need to know
who we really are. We have already told you
in this document about our Olmec civilization
and of the accomplishments of our people and
of the crimes of the Europeans (theft of our
land, biological warfare, Genocide, rape of
our people with the scar of European DNA,
cultural enslavement of our people, enforced
Spanish surnames and Spanish language, and
the continued theft of the wealth of our land
and the continued occupation of our land).
Next you have to use your eyes to see that
the majority of our people are Indigenous
in their DNA, their features and/or in their
color. In other words they are not white,
not European. And those of our people who
are “light” in color or who look
“white” are in fact still Indigenous
because their overall being is still Nican
Tlaca (Indigenous).
Confusion enters the minds of many people
with the “mestizo” (“mixed)
and “raza” (“race”)
concepts that have been forced on us by the
neocolonialism of the “Raza Cosmica”
racism of Jose Vasconcelos. He enslaves us
to European culture and participates actively
in the Genocide of our people and our heritage.
This is the current other root of the internal
racism that our people encounter. Again and
again this “melting pot” assimilationist
racism fuels the self-hate of our people.
Be aware that you will encounter this “we
are a blend of two races” nonsense,
with a fierce defense of Spanish culture and
a weak pretended defense of Anahuac culture.
But it is all still Spanish language, Spanish
names, Spanish religion, Spanish control,
and European colonialism. There is no blend.
There is only assimilation and Genocide.
Jews, Turks, Italians, and many other major
cultures around the world have a “mixed”
background that does not dilute their core
civilization. Being invaded and raped as a
nation does not doom us to be slaves of European
culture. But the mestizo/raza concepts celebrate
the rape of our people. “Dia de la raza”
is celebrated on October 12 (Columbus Day)
in Mexico. We celebrate the rape of our nation,
the enslavement our people and the destruction
of our civilizations. Who taught us this treason?
Why do we encounter vicious resistance when
we try to educate our people on their true
Nican Tlaca identity?
We have to confront
this internal racism.
We must explain
to our people
that we have to
minimally re-think of ourselves
as an Indigenous people
and not as “mixed”,
but as a people who have a heritage
that is in our land,
a heritage that is
in our Pre-European history,
and a heritage that is
in the rich Mexica culture
which was our last civilization.
After that
we can acknowledge the crimes
of the rape of our Nican Tlaca DNA
and the non-permanent slavery
in which we are caged.
In the “Southwest United
States” and most of what is called the
Western United States, we can easily be referred
to as the “Mexican and ‘Central
American’ community” (who make
up over 82% of the so-called Hispanics/Latinos
in the United States and 92% or more in the
West). There is no need to insult our people
with the racist Hispanic/Latino colonialist
label. “Mexican and ‘Central/South
American’ community” would refer
to both the Spanish and English speakers,
and the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) speakers
of Mexico and “Central/South America”.
We Mexica
(Mexicans and “Central Americans”)
all have a common Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
heritage, race, cuisine, and Nican Tlaca linguistic
ties
(not the Spanish European context which is
just a colonial remnant
of the last 500 years, versus 30,000 to 50,000
years of our people being on this continent
as Indigenous people). We also all share an
ancient
common geographical location
(the “North America” part of the
Western Hemisphere)
and the true collective ownership
of all of this land that has been “bordered”
by Europeans and their descendants into the
false nations
that we now have;
and finally we have
the united history
of our Olmec, Maya,
and Teotihuacan-Nahua
(“Aztec”, Mexica, and Pipil) origins
in common.
Beyond the context of the
Southwest and West you can refer to the “Spanish-speaking
community” (“hispanoparlantes”
in Spanish), if that is who you are exclusively
referring to, but remember that you are only
referring to those of us who are Spanish speaking,
and not to those who are Spanish surname and
who do not speak Spanish. DON’T EVER
USE HISPANIC/LATINO for the majority Mexican
and “Central American” community
who are an Indigenous people, not
Europeans, not Spaniards or Latins.
As to the others who are 18% or less of the
so-called Hispanics/Latinos, and who are not
Mexican or “Central American”,
they can be addressed by their individual
national origin names: Spaniard; Argentine;
Cuban; etc., the way you would refer to Jamaicans,
Irish, or Australians by their nations of
origin, instead of just calling them all English
or Britanic or to just refer to them as English
speakers as their ethnic identity. There is
no need for the majority of us to lose our
identity for the sake of forming a convenient
colonial enslaving label to lump the tiny
minority colonizers-exploiters (who are true
European “white” Hispanics/Latinos)
with the vast majority colonized-exploited
(who are Full-blood and Mixed-blood Nican
Tlaca people). We should not be put into the
same “ethnic” label, because we
are not the same people. It is disrespectful
and criminal to do such a thing.
When more of our true Nican Tlaca (Indigenous)
Pre-Europeans history is known, it would be
more accurate, more authentic, and more comforting
to call the Mexican and “Central American”
community by its more Nican Tlaca identity:
The Anahuac nation and/or the Mexica (Meh-shee-kah)
people.
Anahuac is easy to understand if you know
our history as we have presented it to you
in this document. Mexica is more complex to
explain because almost everyone is ignorant
of this great history.
The Mexica were Anahuac’s
last great civilization, the people who are
mistakenly called Aztec. From the **relatively
large base of Mexica (the so-called
Aztec) books, history, and other sources that
exist, we can reconstruct our Mexica society
in a modern non-Eurocentric context. Under
our Mexica heritage we can reconstruct our
education system and the remnants of our history,
philosophy, and theology. Under a Mexica framework
we will one day be able to reconstruct ourselves
without a European context or label. We are
Mexica!
This Mexica Movement organization of ours,
that has put together this document, is in
its infancy. We promote our heritage. We clarify
our heritage. We confront the attacks on our
heritage. We defend our people’s interests,
as a people Indigenous to this Hemisphere,
as the Anahuac nation and the Mexica people.
We offer our people a realistic hope, Anahuac
knowledge, aggressive courage, dignity, and
pride. We are offering the vision of a proud
future for our people, a future where our
people have reconstructed their heritage,
and where we have secured an honorable place
in the world for our people.
To bring this to a close, and to punch it
in one more time: Hispanic/Latino are colonialism;
colonialism is racist and genocidal; there
are no benefits to our people being labeled
Hispanic/Latino, these labels only enslave
us to European culture and European descendant
economic interests; we need to know what our
history was before the invasion of the Europeans;
we need to know the past and the ongoing crimes
of the Europeans.
IDEALLY:
IN
THE NORTH OF OUR CEMANAHUAC CONTINENT:
WE
SHOULD BE CALLED NICAN TLACA,
of the Anahuac nation,
in the traditions of the Mexica civilization;
IN
THE SOUTH OF OUR CEMANAHUAC CONTINENT:
WE
SHOULD BE CALLED NICAN TLACA,
of the Tahuantinsuyo nation,
in the traditions of the Inca civilization;
--but
we should never be referred to as:
HISPANIC
OR LATINO.
WHAT IS THE MEXICA
MOVEMENT?
The Mexica Movement is the
Nican Tlaca rights educational organization
for the people of Anahuac. We work to educate
our people in Anahuac (“the Western
and Southern United States”, Mexico,
and “Central America”). We are
educators and liberators for all Nican Tlaca
people in the “Western Hemisphere”.
We declare ourselves independent from the
Europeans on our land. We refuse to be slaves
to their culture or their interests! We are
taking the necessary steps that will liberate
our people. This document is one of those
steps.
We do not advocate violence or terrorism (as
the Europeans have done against us, and are
doing to us even to this day). We know that
militarily (through violence & terrorism)
we cannot win our land back in the near future,
but we will win our land back through a disciplined
united educational liberation war. The Mexica
Movement’s educational liberation message
is the main message of this document.
We do not advocate the surrender of our rights
to any of our land or our heritage. We are
working to end our people’s passive
acceptance of the theft of our land and resources.
We are also working to regain our people’s
true studied knowledge and pride in our heritage.
We are educating our people against the ignorant
suicidal assimilation into European blood.
We are also warning them not to embrace the
European culture that is the Genocide of our
people.
We reject the surrender to exploitation and
all of the other ongoing savage forms of European
racist oppression.
We do advocate the Anahuac-centric education
of our people, and the education of the European
people who are now our oppressors (keeping
us from the wealth of our land, the accomplishments
of our history, our true identity, and the
knowledge of their crimes).
The Mexica Movement is not part of any terrorist,
Marxist, capitalist, anarchist, or “New
Age” agenda. Nor are we part of any
of the corrupt rituals, sacrilege, “Christian
Aztec danza”, or the “spiritual”
masturbatory frauds and music-revolutionary
posers that misinform and confuse our people.
We reject all Eurocentric or colonialist-serving
agendas, and anything that keeps our people
from the true knowledge, courage and dignity
that will give our people complete liberation.
The Mexica Movement philosophy (love of wisdom)
is founded on an Anahuac-centric study base
and a Mexica way of being. These are our two
initial goals:
1) BASIC RESEARCH that takes
an Anahuac-centric approach to studying our
codices (our books), art, anthropology, archeology,
cosmological-theological sources, linguistic,
and other resources that will provide the
necessary resource base from which we can
educate, envision, define, redefine, reconstruct,
and liberate our Anahuac nation. The Mexica
Movement uses the best of our Anahuac ideals
and accomplishments as a starting point from
which to reconstruct our Anahuac nation.
2) COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
that takes into account the absolute necessity
of properly (positively, constructively, and
non-Eurocentrically) educating all of our
people in our complete heritage. We reject
the popular Eurocentric “New Age”
nonsense that says that our people can learn
their heritage from their blood, through “energy”,
by rituals and dance, or by posing as an Argentine-Cuban
“Che” Marxist revolutionary. We
know that our people have to be educated in
the interests of all our people, and not just
the interests of the individual, and not through
Eurocentric capitalist or Marxist dogma (capital
that was made from the Genocide of our people
and the theft of our land; and Marxist theory
that is based on our “collective”
Indigenous approach to society). We know that
it is absolutely mandatory that we learn our
Pre-European Mexica education system, our
ideals, ethics, morality, logic, and science,
in a positive and constructive way. We need
to re-learn our ancestor’s sense of
obligation and loyalty to the whole of our
people, not the materialistic needs of the
individual. We also need to learn our ancestor’s
cosmology-theology in a way that is respectful,
scholarly, logical and sacred.
We invite all courageous, disciplined, and
honorable people to join us as a part of the
Mexica Movement’s educational liberation
of our people.

NOTES:
**“Central
American”: We put “Central
American” in quotes because we reject
that label too. We are not “Americans”
as in “The Americas” or in the
“Central American” part of the
“Americas”. But we are aware that
“Central American” is what people
understand. “Central American”
is the only way that people are going to know
who we are speaking of. Most of our people
who come from that part of Anahuac are unaware
of the fact that up until 1823 all of the
“Central Americans” were part
of Anahuac. There was no separation of “Mexico”
from “Central America” at that
time because even the Spaniards knew that
we were one culture.
Back to Paragraph
We of Anahuac have over 4,500 years being
part of one civilization.
**culturally
castrate: A people can be said to
be culturally castrated (unable to culturally
reproduce themselves in an authentic fashion)
when that people, or nation of people (the
Mexican and “Central American”
descent people in our case), are denied access
to the true and complete, positive and constructive,
history of their people. This denial of their
true heritage blocks them from their true
identity and their honorable place in the
world.
Back
**raped-in DNA:
This rape does not affect the 30% of our people
who are Full-blood and who have no physical
evidence of the rape. That 30% (or more) of
our population does have an internal psychological
scar from the effects of the racist colonialism
of the last 500 years.
Back
**“United
States”: There is so much that
can be said here, but the best information
that you can get on the truth of the history
of the “United Poor and Rich White People
of America” can be found in LIES MY
TEACHER TOLD ME by James Loewen and PEOPLE’S
HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES by Howard Zinn.
The best of “American values”
“ can be seen in Jamestown’s parasitic
colony that was established without enough
food to last the winter (they expected to
steal food from our people or to be freely
given food, they died). Slavery, segregation,
racism, land theft, lynchings, lies about
how they acquired everything they own, and
of course their unique form of Christianity
that did not treat other people the way they
would want to be treated.
Back
**Louisiana Purchase:
This is one of the most bizarre cases of buying
known stolen property on a massive scale.
This land was originally stolen and occupied
by the French and the Spaniards. It went back
and forth between them until Napoleon decided
to sell something that he knew didn’t
belong to him and that the Americans knew
didn’t belong to him.
This is more on a history of theft, lies,
savage behavior (of Europeans), and the continuation
of Genocide in the Western Hemisphere.
Back
**Mexican American
War: This war proved that the greed
of Europeans would never end.
Going back to Columbus, they had more land
than they could ever use in their lifetimes.
They took and stole, and lied and killed,
spreading their
biological warfare all along the way.
By the time it came to the Mexican American
war there was enough immune resistance to
biological warfare to have the occupying American
army rethink its strategy of taking over all
of Mexico. They decided to only take half
of our land. They had already taken the so-called
South and the so-called Louisiana Purchase
land from us. In real history this meant that
three-quarters of what is now called the United
States should have been part of the Anahuac
nation
(See Anahuac: The Secret And Forbidden History
by Olin Tezcatlipoca) .
Back
**including our
own people: White people know and
can see that the majority of us are not anywhere
near being white (European). But still our
people insist that they are mostly white (not
Indigenous). The darker we are, the more we
insist that we are Spanish or white. Our people
think that hair dyes, bleaches, and blue-eyed
contacts can disguise our race, our true roots.
Back
**Mixed-blood (so-called
Mestizo Indigenous): This condition
of our people is at the heart of so much confusion.
This small note that we make here can in no
way give you the full meaning of this word
nor can it give you an idea of the complete
devastation that it has inflicted on our people.
One of the best ways to explain this condition
of our people is to say that those of our
people who are Mixed-bloods would not exist
if the Europeans had not invaded and occupied
our lands, and then raped our people. Prior
to 1492 this Mixed-blood condition did not
exist. This rape was a way of mutilating our
DNA, and scarring and branding our people
with their European DNA. We do not celebrate
this rape. We acknowledge its historical reality
and we see the damage that it does to us,
but we do not see assimilation into the European
race as a solution to our rape or our confusion.
Nor do we see our Mixed or scarred condition
as something
that has no remedy. We can reconstruct ourselves
little by little.
We have been impaled by this defiling of our
Nican Tlaca (Indigenous) DNA and we have needlessly
been lessened in the clarity of our identity
and our heritage.
No matter how light or dark we are, we who
are in this confusion of mixed DNA need not
and should not victimize ourselves by rejecting
the victim and embracing the rapist. If we
are very light or if we can pass for white,
that only means that you just have a deeper
scar than the rest of our people.
Even those of us who have no raped European
blood in us; we too are scarred, emotionally,
internally. We have been raped psychologically
by the internal racism and the self-hate that
has been forced on us.
Back
**inferior
people: The irony of this is that
we were a civilization older than any European
civilization and we were more advanced in
the sciences, ethics, morality, theology,
and justice.
We only lost the wars against the Europeans
because they were savages in the way that
they conducted war: with biological warfare
against military and civilian targets; men,
women, and children were indiscriminately
killed.
Back
*their fortunes:
Europeans claim that it was their genius that
made them a great people, not our land. If
that is true why didn’t they go into
the Sahara desert and become a great people
or why didn’t they just stay home in
Europe without stealing other people’s
land to become a great people.
Back
**great
accomplishments:
SCIENTIFIC APPROACH: We scientifically
observed, studied, and wrote about our discoveries
in astronomy, mathematics, medicine, a calendar,
and Our Creator.
ASTRONOMY: We studied the
movements of the sky. We had better detailed
information than Europeans. We predicted eclipses
and the cycles of the moon.
MATHEMATICS: We had the abacus
& geometry, and we invented the concept
of zero and point placement before anyone
else in the world.
WRITING: We had writing long
before Europeans.
MEDICINE: We had better doctors,
hospitals, surgery, medicine, antibiotics,
anesthetics, & dentistry than Europeans.
CALENDAR: The most accurate
calendar in the world, even for today.
ARCHITECTURE: We built three
cities larger than any in Europe of 1492.
UNIVERSITIES: We were the
first people in the world to have mandatory
education for males and females, of all ranks
in society.
AGRICULTURE: We gave the
world some of the most nutritious foods: corn;
tomato; squash; chiles; avocados; & chocolate.
ENGINEERING: We developed
irrigation, aqueducts, canals, & bridges.
LIBRARIES: We had great libraries
in all of our major cities and large towns.
Our libraries contained great histories, philosophy,
genealogies, astronomy, art, & poetry.
THEOLOGY: We scientifically
devoted our studies to an observational understanding
of Our Creator. Our theology was not an unproven
superstitious belief system, and it was definitely
not about “gods” as Europeans
have claimed.
Back
**Germany:
Germany was never a fully united
nation until the nineteenth century under
the leadership of Bismarck. For thousands
of years they had been loose bands of tribal
people. Then about a thousand years ago they
became dozens of principalities, kingdoms,
and vassals of other European nations. They
only became a full nation under the Prussian
empire of Wilhelm I in 1871.
So, when people argue that we were not a full
nation when we were invaded by Europeans in
1519, they should remember this piece of nation
development information and give us the same
respect as Germany (in allowing it its time
for development).
Back
**Maya:
The Maya reached the highest development in
Anahuac. Our Mayan astronomy, mathematics,
calendar system, writing system, and theology
were amongst the most sophisticated and most
advanced anywhere in the world. Our Mayan
calendar is still more advanced than any in
use today.
There are still racists out there who refuse
to acknowledge the genius of any of our civilizations.
When they do give recognition to any of our
accomplishments, they generally want to attribute
that genius to people from Europe, outerspace,
Africa, China, Vikings, or anyone but our
own people.
Back
**Chicano/Chicana:
The Chicano movement of the 1960’s was
a nationalist radical declaration of our Mexican
Indigenous heritage and our “Mexicans
in occupied Aztlan” identity. It was
a way to reject the “Mexican American”
label and to protest the disproportionately
high casualties of our people in Vietnam.
The Chicano movement brought about changes
for our people in civil rights and in the
revival of our culture. It meant better jobs
and better housing.
The Chicano studies that were established
at universities during that period were the
inspiration for radical thought in our communities.
Today all of the accomplishments of the Chicano
movement have been rejected by the traitors
in college and university Chicano Studies
who now favor the treasonous Hispanic/Latino
label and its colonialist mentality.
These Chicana/Chicano studies traitors have
raped, castrated, and mutilated the Chicano/Chicana
term. It now consists of a colonialist agenda
of “inclusiveness”, to the point
that anyone and everyone is considered “Chicana/Chicano”.
They have killed the Chicano movement.
This pattern of ”Hispanic/Latino”
racist revisionism within Chicano Studies,
which claims that we have always been Hispanic/Latino,
is also going on in history books, novels,
music, commentaries, editorials, art, film,
schools, universities, organizations, and
cultural groups.
Back
**Miami Cubans:
They were the “white” colonialist
exploiters, the people who were the racist
elite of a dictatorship that had turned Cuba
into the whorehouse of the Western Hemisphere.
Corruption thrived in that undemocratic racist
Cuba, along with gambling, prostitution, and
every sort of inhumanity and injustice.
The African descent Cubans suffered greatly
under these “white” monsters.
When the Cuban enslaved population revolted
against these racist monsters, they left for
the United States to see if they could find
new slaves. It was like Columbus and Cortez
all over again for us, these racist Gusano
Cubanos had found us, and they began exploiting
us immediately.
Back
**colonialism:
Colonialism is the European parasitic habitual
crime of invading other people’s land,
stealing their resources, destroying their
society, committing genocide against the majority
of the people, enslaving the remaining population,
culturally annihilating them by executing
their leaders and destroying the pride in
their heritage, and by forcibly occupying
their land with European squatters.
Colonialism is by its nature parasitic in
that it depends totally on the stolen foreign
land and the enslaved foreign people to sustain
it.
Colonialism uses terrorism as its main tool
against the people who are colonized.
Back
**African descent
people: In this Hispanic/Latino identity
fraud, the African descent people who speak
Spanish (Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico,
and Panama) are treated to an even worse situation
than those of us who are Indigenous. Notice
how they too are forced to pretend Spanish
heritage. Celia Cruz (African descent) wears
her blond straight wigs and white pancake
make up. She looks like a clown and proclaims
her Hispanic heritage. It makes you feel sorry
for her every time you see her.
Back
**oral tradition:
This fraud of “oral tradition”
implies that that was the only way that our
people passed on knowledge. It ignores the
vast knowledge that survived in books, transcripts,
archeological and anthropological evidence,
and in actual writings of our people.
Granted that a lot of our surviving materials
are polluted with European/Christian corruptions
and Eurocentric interpretations, but with
study we can filter out those corruptions.
The other “oral traditions” of
our people are the traditions of ignorance
and self-hate. All “oral traditions”
should be questioned, as should all written
documents.
Back
**Mexica:
Mexica is the name of our last great civilization.
The Mexica left us vast amounts of written
knowledge, from which we can collectively
rebuild our Anahuac nation.
Mexica is our collective identity because
Mexica is the only study base from which we
can realistically reconstruct ourselves as
a united Anahuac nation.
Back
**English language
films: In films about Mexicans like
La Bamba, Selena, Mi Familia, Traffic, Frida,
and in racist films like Road To El Dorado
and countless other lesser known films there
are almost no Mexicans in the lead roles.
In television’s Resurrection Blvd. and
American Family we have seen Cubans, Puerto
Ricans and other non-Mexican actors portray
Mexicans, in over 95% of these projects. Disney
tried to hire the Spaniard Antonio Banderas
to play our hero-of-heroes Emiliano Zapata.
This last project was only stopped because
of the work of over one-year of picketing
by the Mexica Movement.
Back
**blatantly
racist: The material coming out of
Miami now goes beyond the “India Maria”
racism of Mexico (which ridicules the contemporary
Indigenous people in the form of a woman named
Maria, who is both ignorant and clever). The
Miami media aggressively ridicules Mexican
culture and history. They never once ridicule
Cuban culture, history, or the Cuban people.
This Cuban media bias documents the racism
of putting down Mexican and Indigenous heritage
while at the same time showing Europeans as
the most beautiful and the most intelligent
people around.
Back
**race or color:
Europeans discriminate amongst themselves.
The blondish Nordic-Germanic people don’t
consider southern Europeans (like Italians,
Greeks, or Spaniards) to be their equals,
or even truly white (Aryan). On the other
hand southern Europeans dye their hair blond
to try to look like the northern Europeans.
The majority of these Europeans have skin
that is light in color in various shades from
pale parchment paper to pale pink, but none
of them are actually “white”.
Back
**demographics:
We Mexicans and “Central Americans”
are the majority of the people who are labeled
Hispanic/Latino in the “USA”.
The 2000 census shows that we are 82% of that
false category. Our numbers are used for the
benefit of Cubans and the other whites who
speak Spanish. In reality we are probably
a higher percentage if you count all of our
people who are undocumented, and if you include
our people who refused to put anything but
Hispanic as a category. The Census people
don’t know quite how to deal with this
labeling issue. They contradict themselves
in their own materials. They only give us
a choice of white, black, or “other”.
“Other” is the majority. That
“other” category is us, the people
who are Indigenous to this land. We are the
Full-blood and Mixed-blood (the so-called
mestizo). We would like to suggest to the
2010 Census that they have the categories
of white, black; and a category that would
include our people: “Full-blood or Mixed-blood
(mestizo) Indigenous people of Mexico”
and the category of “Full-blood or Mixed-blood
(mestizo) Indigenous people of El Salvador”
and all of the “Central American”
republics.
Back
**Western Hemisphere:
This term is Eurocentric in the sense that
our hemisphere is west of Europe, but realistically
it is not inaccurate from the point of Europe.
In a compromise, over the word “America”,
we can accept our land being called the Western
Hemisphere.
In an Anahuac-centered sense we can refer
to our continent as Cemanahuac (“the
complete world”, in context of Anahuac
being “our world, the land between the
waters”).
Back
**Catholic
religion: Our people are predominantly
Catholic in their religion. Most of our people
attempt to be “sincere Christians”
in the way they live their lives. Our people
believe the same things that other Catholics
believe. They believe without proof that Jesus
is “God”. They believe without
proof in the articles of faith that there
is a heaven and hell, the forgiveness of sins,
that Holy Communion is the body and blood
of Jesus Christ, and that there will be a
resurrection of the body at the end of times.
All of this belief system is dependent on
our people having a “faith” in
all of this.
Yet if they knew that the church was responsible
for setting off the Genocide of our people,
the burning of our books, the executions of
our leaders and teachers, and for keeping
our people cultural slaves of the Europeans;
perhaps our people’s faith in a European
religion of a “white” man as “God”
might be questioned.
Back
**Latino Americans:
It is curious that this is never brought out
as an issue, that “Latinos” are
not “Latino Americans”. Why is
it that a Latino can be a person anywhere
in the world, anyone in the world who speaks
Spanish (and by extension Portuguese because
of Brazil being in “Latin America”,
and French with the Haitians). It also applies
toward the Hispanic, as to why “Hispanic
Americans” is not used. In the USA you
are a European American, Irish American or
Italian American but not a Latino American.
Where’s the logic in this? Perhaps it
is logical to continue the inconsistencies,
to confirm the colonialism, to confirm the
nonsense of this Hispanic/Latino labeling
of our people. Perhaps the colonists can’t
keep track of their lies or their crimes.
Back
**genetics:
In a general sense we have nothing in common
with a Spaniard’s blood group, genetic
diseases, or with the origins of their “racial
type”.
We also have nothing in common with them in
all the forms of health problems that our
people suffer, or in the mental health problems
that we endure.
Back
**relatively large
base: Our Mexica libraries at one
time were in all the major cities of Anahuac.
The Spaniards under the bishop Zumarraga burned
over 10,000 books in one night in one city.
Another Spanish priest named Landa burned
thousands more in the Maya areas.
