It's kinda hard to pinpoint every little place I picked up my VAST wealth of historical knowledge, but it surpasses your own.
Furthermore your claim that Indian savagery was an act of desperation is only half true.
Indian tribes differened culturally and some were quite vicious and brutal long before White man.
I guess you never heard of the Incas or the Aztecs?
But also there were more peaceful indians, tribes through out the midwest and such, which weren't so brutal, but also in the end ended up doing acts of "desperation" usually influenced by more war-like tribes.
Also some indian tribes never stood up at all, they just got caught up in something too large for them and weren't "warriors" and never really did harm to anyone.
But it's hard to distinguish cultures, and the Europeans did not care. All indians were the same.
Of course they weren't however.
But to try and pawn of the attrocities of the Indians as "acts of desperation" is just stupid, it's only half true if even that.
Aztecs were ritual canibals.
As were many tribes through out North America.
This is seen as beyond reproach by any christian at the time all this happend, though today we'd probably be more tollerating of it.
If it wasn't someone in our culture doing it, such as in Borneo.
Oh and last point, sorry these are in three posts but it does help to seperate points
Some indians did kill and murder and rip people to pieces for nothing else than Thrill.
The Hurons are a good example.
So don't ever try to say a "people" are this or that, there are always exceptions.
Just as Europeans were not all Indian hating peoples, they weren't all "christians" they weren't all English...there are differences in every culture family you should call it.
Because Europeans are English, welsh, scottish, irish, french and I don't know the french subclasses, they are Spanish, which were mixes of moorish and other things, and there are those basque seperatists, Germans in Berlin until after WW2 would never call a Bavarian a German even though the country spans both those areas now. Russians have over 50 different ethnic groups let alone cultural breakdowns.
So trying to say "Indians didn't kill for thrill" is just stupid.
There were Indians who killed for thrill before white man came, Indians who killed for thrill when white man came and gave them incentives, and Indians who only killed to defend themselves.

I have met several Illuminist members over the years.
They are normal people - all very well spoken, well bred, attractive and polite.
I've never sensed anything "sinister" about them and I am extremely biased about the majority of propaganda I've read on the subject of the Illuminati because of this.

I cannot see any logic to this coincidence, other than the fact that my mother is pure blood Cherokee Indian...

I knew a msaon once, he was a perfectly normal guy though, and didn't make it sound like there were any real secrets going on except in terms of business deals and that sort of thing. I believed him, maybe I was wrong, I don't know...

If so, what did they tell you? Is there anyway of getting in contact with people like these?
Any information would be welcome.
Thanks

Keep talking out your rear end as much as you want.
The OP is not asking about the masons and neither am I.
You really have no idea what I am talking about.
Read the thread before you comment.
