CITIZEN SENTINEL’S MESSAGE:
Monday, October 10 was a national holiday. Let’s see, was it Columbus Day or Indigenous People’s Day? Most people probably don’t know. They remember something in the news that Christopher Columbus was out and Indigenous People were in but they don’t know the status. Indeed in recent years, Columbus has been attacked by those on the left. We can add this to the indoctrination that is taking place in public schools and colleges.
As progressives tear apart the correct history of the United States, they instill in children’s minds that there is nothing special about the United States of America. In fact, they teach that we should be ashamed of our past and that our nation should turn to socialism as reparation for our evil past. Fortunately for us, our resident historian, Dennis Jamison had penned an article to correct the record, at least in the case of Christopher Columbus. In his article, “Navigating to the Truth About Christopher Columbus in an Ocean of Lies,” Jamison talks about confusion created around the holiday and provides some factual information about the explorer.
It is important that we push back on the lies of the left at every turn. Those with young children should find out what they are being taught in school about our history and correct the false teachings along the way. Those who don’t have the confidence in their own knowledge of history might want to read up on it. Dr. Bill Bennett, the nation’s Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan, wrote several books on American History. They are accurate and they are wonderful reading. Stories from the book would even be great stories to read to children. The book, America The Last Best Hope (volumes 1 & 2) will reveal the accurate history of America. While we are not a perfect nation, we are an exceptional nation that continually strives to improve. We should all educate ourselves so that we too can push back on the lies of the left.
In light of all our entries today, it is also our hope that readers could please take to heart these messages in this edition and if readers know others who might value them as well, become a Citizen Sentinel and share today’s Citizens Voice with those who may need enlightenment. We are here to educate American voters who are still needing to be awakened, and to empower those who are. Do your part by amplifying the ‘en - light - ten - ment’ (share with ten people).

What Americans know about Columbus is based on centuries-old lies and half-truth
Navigating to the Truth About Christopher Columbus in an Ocean of Lies
By Dennis Jamison ——Bio and Archives--October 10, 2022
It is amazing that President Biden issued a proclamation for celebrating Columbus Day this year “in honor of our diverse history and all who have contributed to shaping this Nation.” However, there were a number of points he missed, if he even put the official recognition of Columbus Day into effect within his own mind. It is more likely a formality that he simply signed off on in the course of a number of signings he may never recollect. It makes one wonder because he also created Indigenous Peoples Day last year to honor the Native American history and culture, which will fall on the calendar the same day as Columbus Day, even though there is an entire month that has already been dedicated to honor Native American history.
In an era of extreme political divisiveness and toxicity
In an era of extreme political divisiveness and toxicity, it appears that the overarching attempt at the overlay is an attempt to defame, dishonor and devalue Christopher Columbus all over again based upon disinformation embedded in the progressive-revisionist narratives regarding a hero to the American people. At the least it is a cheap shot because the Native Americans and American Indians already had holidays dedicated to their foundations and contributions to this nation. Why did they need one to overlap upon the existing Columbus Day?
The irony is that most Americans are not familiar with the true history of the American Indians, and they rely on the false narratives that have been conjured up from the bitterness and resentments of Indians of lower nobility than the best of their peoples. Just as with any of the peoples of the world, animosity and long-festering hatred and resentment are not the higher expressions of human character. Yet today, we live in a culture permeated with such poison.
Yes, this is a different sort of narrative on Christopher Columbus, primarily because it delves into truths that have been left untouched or that have been buried by the agenda-driven progressive- revisionists. Thus, it is not surprising that “Biden’s” recognition of the Indians on the same day as Columbus Day represents an outward manifestation of ignorance warmed over and served fresh daily to anyone who is receptive to lies they would be too intellectually lazy to disprove. In recent decades, after the Marxists started imbedding their progressive revisionist poison into the education system, Columbus became one of the first targets to be marginalized, He truly was a prime target for character assassination—all over again. And, it worked.
Reputation of Columbus and his relevance in history exists due to the progressive-revisionist character assassination of the sailor from Genoa
Today, a very significant division of public opinion concerning the reputation of Columbus and his relevance in history exists due to the progressive-revisionist character assassination of the sailor from Genoa. Stimulated by some angry American Indian peoples and condemnation from some indoctrinated teachers throughout the nation, Columbus’ reputation has been eviscerated. And, despite “Biden’s Columbus Day proclamation, it is essentially negated by the needless day he established to honor Native Americans, which the state of New York did back in May of 1916. In fact, the State of New York became the first state in the United States to formally recognize American Indian Day. The Illinois legislature then followed with another similar proclamation in 1919.
Several states followed over the years and celebrated the fourth Friday in September to honor the American Indians. In 1968, Governor Ronald Reagan established American Indian Day in California. The name was altered in 1996 by the Democratic legislature to be “Native American Day.” Eventually, in 1976, Jerry Elliott, also known as High Eagle from the Cherokee/Osage Tribe, authored congressional legislation that declared the week of October 10-16 as “Native American Awareness Week.” President Gerald Ford signed the bill after it was passed. Then in 1990, the legislation expanded this week of recognition to an entire month and now it is known as “National American Indian Heritage Month.”
What does that have to do with Columbus Day? Again, why did Biden need one to overlap another like holiday on top of the existing Columbus Day? The government action is akin to the leftist militants toppling statues of Columbus. Biden’s proclamation had much in common with the ideologically-infused, agenda-driven progressive-revisionists of the Left in their attempts to defame, dishonor and devalue Christopher Columbus and to destroy his historic value to our nation through character assassination. If that strategy seems familiar, it is their modus operandi.
Columbus lived in the days of absolute monarchs who had the power to imprison or execute anyone they did not appreciate
Yet, it has also been a useful method of the monarchs to destroy rivals or political opponents for centuries. In fact, the effort to defame, dishonor and devalue Christopher Columbus was already initiated centuries before by the very king Columbus depended upon for his fame, honor, and place in history. Few know the king who enabled Columbus to “sail across the ocean blue.” Yet, people remember Columbus. Indeed, the people across the nation may be surprised that what they have learned about Christopher Columbus in school is likely quite incomplete and likely adequately poisoned. A more complete understanding of the history of Columbus would express much about the current fight between the ‘common’ people of the United States and autocratic politicians they elect election after election.
What does that have to do with Christopher Columbus? It is very simple, he lived in the days of absolute monarchs who had the power to imprison or execute anyone they did not appreciate, or whom they suspected of cheating them. Consider this: does the contemporary narrative of Columbus include the fact that King Ferdinand suspected Columbus of stealing gold from the crown, based upon Columbus’ own baseless deception of how much gold existed in the islands of the Caribbean? Consider this: does the contemporary narrative discern that Columbus was not a Spaniard, but a foreigner, and not of nobility, yet given the title of Governor of the islands?
Would not such conditions (a foreigner, and a commoner at that, holding positions of authority) raise sentiments of jealousy and resentment in the Spanish nobility?
What Americans know about Columbus is based on centuries-old lies and half-truths
Perhaps a different angle should be considered that also is not considered by the contemporary, ideologically-infused, agenda-driven progressive-revisionists of the Left. Consider this: does the contemporary narrative include the facts that Columbus had to abandon the crew of the Santa Maria, his flagship on Hispaniola, and upon his return to the island, he found that they had been slaughtered by the Indians of the Caribbean? Does the contemporary narrative include the facts that despite such slaughter, Columbus had a Spanish friar stay amongst the Indians to study the people’s language and culture and ways?
Perhaps a better angle would be to consider the basis of the accusations against Columbus in his time that became the basis of accusations against Columbus in this day by contemporary, agenda-driven progressive-revisionists of the Left. Consider whether the contemporary narrative includes the fact that Columbus was arrested by the person the King ‘encouraged’ Columbus to cooperate with as an ‘assistant’ to help him as Governor of Spain’s newly-claimed territory. Or. consider whether the contemporary narrative includes the fact that after Columbus was arrested, the King had him thrown into prison for a great length of time with various legal changes against him. Or, does the contemporary narrative include the facts that the nobles were the ones who brought the charges, and who had a serious collected interest in ridding themselves of a commoner and a foreigner who had no authority to “lord it over’ them?
If the contemporary narratives do not delve into the truth of history, what Americans know about Columbus is based on centuries-old lies and half-truths, and that is little more than an aggregate of ignorance and intellectual garbage. The more serious concerns, however, must be focused on liberating our children from deliberately induced ignorance with vigilant transfusions of truth.

We continue to urge citizens to take ownership of the responsibility to keep the Republic!
Remember, an educated and enlightened citizenry is vital for our future. As it has been written:
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
The Citizens Voice provides information that the mainstream media hopes people don’t receive. Forward these newsletters to your friends and let them witness, first hand, that there is more than one side to a story. Then they will begin to understand the peril that our nation is in and be able to make informed decisions.
We are truly thankful for all of our readers who have chosen to assist our efforts in bringing the information and words of encouragement to all Americans we can possibly reach. We are truly grateful for the generous donations from our fellow Citizen Sentinels. It helps us keep going as a truly volunteer effort. Thank you so very much for whatever can be given.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." ~ Samuel Adams, 1776
Ownership of our Republic is now the fight of our time! Keeping our Republic depends upon the genuine sense of ownership of the Land of the Free. Either this is our country, or it will belong to those who are actively seeking to take it from us. It is the same mentality that inspired someone long ago to express the sentiment that “All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Efforts to take responsibility for keeping this nation a free Republic are organically occurring right now all across the nation.
