Slavery has been a universal institution throughout history, not limited to one race or country. Western Europe was noted for having no slavery within its borders, though Western Europeans had slaves in the Western Hemisphere. Reparations for slavery would involve a significant transfer of wealth, considering the history of slavery worldwide. For example, more whites were enslaved by Barbary pirates in North Africa than Africans in the United States and colonies combined. Despite this, reparations are not sought from North Africa. Intellectuals envision a unique history for the United States, though it mirrors global patterns.

The Crusades were fundamentally a defensive response to the expansion of Islamic armies, which had already conquered significant portions of the Christian world, including the Holy Land, Egypt, North Africa, and Spain. As these forces threatened the Byzantine Empire and Europe, Christian nations recognized the need to act. The First Crusade aimed to protect against ongoing Muslim attacks, which persisted into the 20th century. During this period, over a million Europeans were abducted and enslaved in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire.

Facts about slavery often overlooked in school include the history of white Christian Europeans being enslaved in Africa. For nearly 300 years, the southern coast of Europe faced threats from the Islamic Barbary States, which targeted coastal communities and Christian ships. One notable raider, Turgut Reis, was a prominent Turkish admiral. In 1551, he enslaved the entire population of 5,000 from the Maltese island of Gozo. Three years later, he attacked Vieste, Italy, massacring men and capturing 7,000 women and children as slaves. Even as far north as Ireland, the Barbary pirates raided Baltimore in 1631, taking the population to Algiers as slaves.

In the late 1700s, the United States faced the issue of its sailors being taken as slaves by the Barbary states in North Africa. Around 1.5 million European and American slaves were estimated to have been taken between 1750 and 1850. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams confronted the ambassador in London, questioning why this was happening. The ambassador's response was that the Quran permitted them to do so because the Americans were considered infidels. In response, Jefferson sent a navy to crush the Barbary states. It is important to note that Islamic fundamentalism is not a result of American democracy, and blaming the US for it is a false narrative.

Speaker 0 repeats the line: "You can run on for a long time. Run on for a long time. Run on for a long time. Sooner or later, gotta put you down." Speaker 1 recounts that "the Arab slave trader brought his African merchandise to a broker in a large town who put them up for sale in the slave market." He notes that among the many brokers in the Arab world, there were some brokers who don't like to be remembered in The United States Of America—these were the Jewish brokers who were in great towns such as Damascus and Baghdad. He adds, "Yes. Amen." Speaker 1 continues with a reflection on "what a lot of trouble professor Jeffries got into," and remarks that all he talked about was "a Jew, old Jew over there in Newport, Rhode Island." He then expands the scope: "But what about the Jews of Amsterdam? The Jews of Lisbon? The Jews of Cadiz? The Jews of Toulouse? The Jews of Bristol, the great slave port of England, Bristol," because Bristol is where the great voyages were planned. He explains that Bristol was the place where people financed ships and sent them out on three-month voyages to fetch slaves across, describing who had "the money to put those ships on the sea," to finance "these huge caravans" and to carry out the slave trade. Speaker 1 then asks, "Who were the great merchants of the Middle East? Who were the great merchants of Europe? And some of brothers and sisters, who were they? Jews." He concludes that Jews were involved in the slave trade and questions how they "weren't in the slave trade," asserting that they "never cared about how they turned an honest dollar," and that from their point of view, "it's an honest dollar," even though they are "lamenting the fact now and denying it."

The United States has begun major combat operations in Iran with the objective of defending the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. The regime is described as a vicious group whose menacing activities endanger the United States, its troops, bases overseas, and allies worldwide. The speech cites decades of hostile actions, including back­ing a violent takeover of the US embassy in Tehran (the 444-day hostage crisis), the 1983 Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut (241 American fatalities), involvement in the USS Cole attack (2000), and killings and maimings of American service members in Iraq. Iranian proxies are described as having launched countless attacks against American forces in the Middle East and against US vessels and shipping lanes in recent years. From Lebanon to Yemen and Syria to Iraq, the regime is said to have armed, trained, and funded terrorist militias that have caused extensive bloodshed. Iran’s proxy Hamas is credited with the October 7 attacks on Israel, which reportedly slaughtered more than 1,000 people, including 46 Americans, and took 12 Americans hostage. The regime is also described as having killed tens of thousands of its own citizens during protests, labeling it as the world’s number one state sponsor of terror. A central policy stated is that Iran “can never have a nuclear weapon.” The administration asserts that in Operation Midnight Hammer last June, the regime’s nuclear program at Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan was obliterated. After that attack, the regime was warned never to resume its pursuit of nuclear weapons, and repeated attempts to negotiate a deal are described as unsuccessful. Iran is said to have rejected renouncing its nuclear ambitions for decades and to have tried to rebuild its program while developing long-range missiles capable of threatening Europe, US troops overseas, and potentially the American homeland. The United States military is undertaking a massive ongoing operation to prevent this regime from threatening U.S. interests. The plan includes destroying Iran’s missiles and raising its missile industry to the ground, annihilating the regime’s navy, and ensuring that terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or attack American forces or use IEDs against civilians. The speaker asserts that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon and asserts the capabilities and power of the U.S. Armed Forces. Steps to minimize risk to U.S. personnel are claimed, but the reality that lives of American service members may be lost is acknowledged as a possible outcome of the operation. The message to the IRGC and Iranian police is to lay down weapons with immunity or face certain death. To the Iranian people, the timing is described as their moment to take control of their destiny with America’s support, urging sheltering and caution as bombs are dropped. The speech ends with blessings for the armed forces and the United States.

Speaker 0 describes a long history of Jewish subversion and influence in Spain. He notes that Jews prospered under the Visigoths but conspired with Arabs in Africa to overthrow them, citing evidence from the early eighth century including contacts with African Jews to prepare Moorish incursions across the Straits of Gibraltar and a June council of Toledo condemning Jews for plotting with Hebrews beyond the seas. He recounts the loss of Barcelona to Moors, claiming many Christians were killed and Jews remained unpunished. After Islam’s conquest, Jews flourished culturally, excelling in medicine and helping bring Aristotle to Europe. During the Reconquista, Saint Ferdinand allegedly rewarded Cordoba’s Jewish population with mosques converted to synagogues but imposed conditions the Jews violated. As Islam fell back to North Africa, Jews allegedly collaborated with Muslims, fueling Christian suspicions of an alien alliance between the two communities that supposedly enabled civil order to be enforced through canon law, while Jews, not being Christians, could not be targeted by it. They allegedly engaged in subversive activities with impunity, causing resentment. The narrative then pivots to the paradox of Pedro the Cruel, where greater Jewish power allegedly increased their vulnerability to violence. Walsh is cited asserting that Jews were disliked not for Moses’ teachings but for practices like slavery, usury, proselytizing, forcing circumcisions, and pressuring debtors to abandon Christ. Usury is highlighted as a main grievance, since Christians were forbidden to charge interest, creating a Jewish monopoly on lending and capital. The text recounts episodes in Cuenca (1326) and Valladolid (1385) illustrating tensions over usury. Farmers faced starvation or usury, leading to Jewish wealth concentration. The church tried to curb Jewish influence, but rulers pursued short-term gain, culminating in Henry of Trastámara’s rise, persecution of Jews, and mass flight or refuge in Paris. Henry later repented by freeing Christians from debts to Jews, yet realized Jews could not pay taxes or lend the king money without extortion. Jews’ financial and administrative skills proved indispensable to rulers, fueling continued cycles of resentment and social upheaval. By 1391, anti-Jewish riots in Seville and across Castile led to forced conversions (conversos), significant numbers baptized under duress, and suspicion that converts remained secretly Jewish. Murano became a terms of opprobrium for conversos, who leveraged church protection to exploit opportunities, while sincere converts endured suspicion. By the 1440s, conversos allegedly controlled large shares of indirect taxes; their wealth enabled social mobility and access to offices, provoking further suspicion and moral decline at court. Mob violence and weak leadership under Enrique el Impotente culminated in executions and burnings of conversos in multiple cities prior to Isabella and Ferdinand’s rise. Isabella, influenced by Fri Alonso de Hoyeda and other clergy, grew convinced that radical measures were needed; the Inquisition was established in 1478 to root out Judaizers, chosen to operate beyond intimidation or bribery. The monarchs expelled Jews on 03/31/1492 from Castile and Aragon, offering baptism as an alternative but finding little incentive to convert after the Inquisition’s reforms. Expulsion relocated the problem to Northern Europe, with many Jews settling in Antwerp, becoming central to trade networks and mercantile enterprises connected to Lyon, Ferrara, Rome, and beyond. The narrative asserts that Antwerp’s Jewish and Portuguese conversos formed a spy network for anti-Spanish, anti-Catholic forces, leveraging printing to disseminate Protestant Bibles and engage in cultural subversion, ultimately contributing to Spain’s long-term setbacks. Speaker 1 shifts to Jewish pirates in the Caribbean, tracing their roots to the 1492 expulsion and the period’s anti-Semitic context. He notes exiled Spanish Jews sought revenge at sea, with figures such as Sinan Reyes, adversary of Barbarossa, and Moses Cohen Henriques, a key player in the 1628 capture of the Spanish Silver Fleet. Henriques allied with the Dutch West India Company and piratical networks; Diego Perez de Costa, a converso, commanded three pirate ships before retiring to Safed to study Kabbalah. A “pirate rabbi” reportedly aided Sephardic Jews in Amsterdam, keeping kosher on the high seas. Jewish pirates often partnered with non-Jewish pirates, producing cross-cultural connections—Hebrew treasure maps, ships named for biblical figures, and Jewish tombstones bearing skull-and-crossbones. The speakers discuss whether “Jewish pirates” is the right label, noting many served in advisory roles but agreeing they participated in illegal trade and attacks on Spain, while building a global mercantile and intelligence network.

In 1788, the United States faced the issue of its sailors being enslaved by the Barbary states in North Africa. Around 1.5 million European and American slaves were taken between 1750 and 1815. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams confronted the ambassador, who justified the actions by citing permission from the Quran due to the victims being infidels. In response, Jefferson sent a navy to crush the state. It is important to note that Islamic fundamentalism is not a result of American democracy, and blaming democracy for it is a false narrative that absolves the true criminals.

In 1492, the expulsion of 200,000 Jews from Spain led some to seek revenge as pirates. Sinan Reyes, "the Great Jew," served as second in command to Barbarossa, attacking Spanish ships. His son was once kidnapped by King Charles V, but Red Beard rescued him. Moses Cohen Henriques masterminded the capture of the Spanish Silver Fleet in 1628 with pirate Pete Hain, amassing treasure worth over $1 billion today. Henriques established his own pirate island and continued raiding. Yakov Curiel, a converso Jew, repented from piracy and became the first Baal Teshuvah pirate, settling in Safed. A "pirate rabbi" terrorized Spanish ships, using loot to found a Sephardic community in Amsterdam and keeping kosher at sea. Jewish pirates partnered with non-Jewish pirates, resulting in cultural crossovers like Hebrew treasure maps and ships named Queen Esther. They fought the Spanish, shared naval secrets, and built trade networks. While some scholars debate the term "Jewish pirates," Jews were involved in illegal trade and raids against the Spanish Empire, influencing leading pirates and resisting oppression.

For over a thousand years, Arabs enslaved black people, resulting in 15 million deportations. However, this history is rarely discussed compared to the transatlantic slave trade, which lasted a century and involved 12 million deportations. The transatlantic slave trade is more well-known, possibly due to the availability of photographs and the fact that white slaveholders allowed their slaves to reproduce, while Muslims castrated their slaves. Slavery has been a global practice throughout history, with figures like Plato, Cleopatra, and Genghis Khan having slaves. The abolition of slavery was primarily led by white countries during the Industrial Revolution and the development of moral philosophy. It took another century for African countries to abolish slavery, often under pressure from Western powers. Even today, slavery persists in Mauritania, with hundreds of thousands of slaves.

Here is a condensed summary of the transcript’s key points on the 10 largest slaving civilizations in history, with the claims presented as stated. - Tenth equal: Abyssinia (Ethiopian Empire) — ran for seven hundred years from December to 1974; cumulative population of 207 million; early years 10% slaves, later 2 to 4%; meaning 9 to 10,000,000 people enslaved; cited as 10% early, 2–4% later. - Tenth equal: Umayyad Caliphate — in barely a hundred years between 06/1961 and 07/1950, enslaved some 10,000,000 across North Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Middle East. - Ninth: China’s Qing dynasty — definitions of slavery debated; total population 2,500,000,000, of which maybe 0.5% were slaves (12,600,000 total); argument presented that 3–5% could be slaves, meaning 75 to 125,000,000; noting many served in bonded and other forms. - Eighth: Ancient Egypt — 3000 to 30 BC; cumulative population 264,000,000; roughly 5% were slaves, meaning 13,000,000 enslaved. - Seventh: Third Reich — in twelve years, enslaved as many as 26,000,000 people, mostly abducted from Central and Eastern Europe; fastest enslavement rate of any civilization mentioned. - Equal sixth: Joseon dynasty (Korea) — 1392 to 1897; estimated 28,000,000 enslaved. - Equal sixth: Byzantines (Roman Empire) — capital Constantinople (Istanbul); total population 400,000,000; 7% were slaves, totaling 28,000,000. - Fifth: Sultanate of Delhi — ran from 12/00/2006 to 1526; population 446,000,000; 8% were slaves, meaning 36,000,000 enslaved. - Fourth: Mali Empire — 12/14 to 1610; West African civilization; roughly one third of its population enslaved; slave rate far higher than others; total population 170,000,000; slave population 57,000,000; notes it created West Africa’s extensive slave trading infrastructure (routes, markets). - Third: Abbasid Caliphate — controlled Middle East and much of North Africa from 07/1950 to December; cumulative population 635,000,000; roughly 10% were slaves, totaling 63,000,000 enslaved. - Second: Mughal Empire — Northern India from early sixteenth to mid eighteenth century; total population 1,400,000,000; 8% were slaves, total 112,000,000 enslaved. - First: Roman Empire — 27 BC to March (year unspecified); total cumulative population just over a billion; 10 to 20% were slaves, meaning about 160,000,000 enslaved; Romans enslaved the most people of any civilization. Additional notes from the speaker: - No place for the British on this list, despite well-known British slave trade; the British kept more scrupulous records than others. - In eighteen o seven (1807), the British were the first major power to abolish slavery and enforce abolition. - Romans and Nazis aside, no place for European nations, not even the Portuguese, nor for the US. - The Ottomans, possibly the greatest slave traders in history, stole enormous numbers into slavery from Africa, the Mediterranean, and Eastern Europe (Poland, Ukraine, Russia); as many as 10,000,000 passed through their markets. - The word slave derives from Slav. - Slavery is as old as human civilization, with thought to be as many as 50,000,000 people living slave-like existences today, mostly in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Jewish ships brought slaves to America, a fact often overlooked. Let's pause and delve into this further.

Irish people were the first slaves in America, a history that is largely ignored. They were taken from Ireland, treated like animals, and sold for less than African slaves in the 1600s. Known as "white cargo," over 300,000 Irish were shipped to the Caribbean and American colonies. They endured harsh conditions on sugar plantations, dying from disease, beatings, and starvation, with unmarked graves and forgotten names. Some were transported in coffin ships, never to return. The term "redneck" originated from the Irish laborers burned by the Caribbean sun. While others were freed, remembered, or repaid, the Irish received nothing. History was rewritten, renaming them indentured servants to conceal the truth, resulting in no reparations, monuments, or recognition in education.

Jewish involvement in the African slave trade predates the transatlantic slave trade by around 1000 years. The transatlantic slave trade began in 1441 when Portuguese sailors kidnapped Africans and brought them to Europe. Africans were then taken to the Caribbean in 1502, where the transatlantic slave trade started. The Hamitic myth, also known as the curse of Ham story, provided intellectual justification for the slave trade, allowing people to rationalize their actions.

It's interesting how discussions about slavery often imply that America created it. However, many ancient empires, like Egypt, Rome, Greece, and Mali, also relied on slavery. In Africa, tribal conflicts led to the capture and sale of people into slavery long before European involvement. These conversations are challenging and often avoided due to their emotional weight. The narrative of oppression has overshadowed the rich and complex history of various peoples. America uniquely fought a civil war over slavery, aiming to humanize slaves and legislate their freedom. Despite this, many in America still express grievances about privileges that others around the world lack. Today, slavery persists in various countries, and many people still endure these harsh realities.

Americans are taught that America was the worst when it comes to slavery, but this is complete nonsense. American slavery is portrayed as uniquely evil because slaves were considered property, but generational slavery was common worldwide. While the U.S. receives focus due to slavery, most slaves were not shipped there; the U.S. received under 400,000 out of 10-12 million. Focusing on historical abuse by white people won't help the black community gain capital, as modern problems aren't tied to ethnic conflict from 160 years ago. Problems in the black community increased with welfare programs. Almost every society had slavery, including the Aztecs, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Vikings, and especially the Arab world, who took about 17 million people from Africa. The British and Americans were rare in abolishing slavery. The British Navy sank around 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 people. Saudi Arabia only recently abolished the slave trade, and the global slavery index estimates over 700,000 slaves still exist there. American slavery was horrible but not unique. Focusing solely on America's evils hasn't improved race relations.

In 1943, nearly a thousand American soldiers sailed to Greenland to protect it from Nazi Germany, which controlled Europe and had set its sights on the Arctic. Their ship was torpedoed by a Nazi U-boat, and four chaplains sacrificed their life vests so that others might live. Their sacrifices helped win our freedom. Americans and Greenlanders stood together, but today, Greenland faces new threats from Russian aggression and Chinese expansion. Their shared legacy lives on in joint missions and Arctic patrols. Now is the time to stand together again for peace, security, and the future. America stands with Greenland.

The Drake Passage is known as the most dangerous strait in the world due to its huge waves and harsh conditions. Ships passing through faced devastating storms, with many disappearing. Before the Panama Canal was built in 1920, all trade ships had to navigate this treacherous route to connect the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The passage, located at the meeting point of three oceans and two continents, is infamous for its fierce winds and cyclones.

Jewish ships brought slaves to America. Let's take a break.

After the Revolutionary War, the U.S. lost British and French naval protection, leading to attacks by Barbary pirates, who demanded tribute and seized American vessels. Jefferson, opposed to paying tribute, authorized naval forces to defend American commerce against these pirates without informing Congress of specific instructions. This action was seen as defensive, and the need for a formal declaration of war was not considered by the framers of the Constitution. They intended for both Congress and the President to share powers regarding military action. The Barbary pirate conflict established a precedent that Congress can authorize military force without a declaration of war, highlighting the constitutional balance of power among branches of government.

A pirate's life is filled with adventure and mischief. We plunder and loot, reveling in the thrill of the chase. We kidnap and wreak havoc without remorse, celebrating our freedom and daring exploits. Yo ho, a pirate's life is for me!

Islam rapidly expanded from the Arabian Peninsula, launching attacks across the Middle East and into southern France and Spain. This expansion involved naval assaults on Mediterranean coastal towns, resulting in significant violence and the capture of over a million slaves from Europe. In Spain, over 200 battles occurred over 400 years, with Christians eventually pushing back against Muslim forces. Meanwhile, in the east, the fall of Constantinople marked the beginning of Jihad in Eastern Europe. Northern Africa and the Middle East became entirely Islamic. This relentless Jihad was driven by the teachings of Mohammed, with new sultans often initiating wars to establish their legacy in Islamic history.

Jewish ships brought slaves to America, a fact often overlooked. Let's pause and delve into this further.

The number of whites enslaved by Barbary pirates in North Africa surpassed the total number of Africans enslaved in the United States and its colonies. However, no one is seeking reparations from North Africa, as it's unlikely they would be granted. This highlights a tendency among some intellectuals to envision a unique historical narrative for the United States, despite its similarities to global history.
