Not only did he not "discover" America (for the Europeans); and not only was he complicit in one of the greatest genocides in recent history (as these things are measured), quite frankly, I can't find a single redeeming quality of Mr. Columbus or his actions. His actions were designed to empower the 1% for the purpose of shitting on We The People from multiple continents. His actions, and his accomplices, led directly (via belief, aristocracy, and monetary lineage) to our modern day version of The Matrix.
The more I dig into Mr. Columbus, the people he worked for, and his successors, the more convinced I am that there is nothing worthy of celebration about the whole lot of them.
Not to suggest that Columbus was the problem. He was no big deal, but he was one noted and complicit cog in the same evil machine. Maybe we shouldn't be lauding him.
For the record, the account I find most credible, says that Columbus was not present during the atrocities committed against the hispanolia native population. The maltreatment of the natives were committed by his men during the periods Columbus traveled back to Spain. Columbus was appalled over the state of affairs when he returned, and I think he sought to punish some men for their atrocities which caused a split in his party. Many men fled to parts of the island and were murdered by the natives.
For you to point to Columbus as the father of so many modern day ills is like blaming George Washington, and Robert E. Lee for the slave trade simply because the each had slaves.
I also think you underestimate what Columbus achieved. If what he did was so simple, why had no one penetrated the vast unknown ocean before him. As far as his motives, he was not aiming to empower the 1% as you claim, his motives were more self serving, too gain status, fame, riches for himself. Tell me what great explorer was motivated by a sense of Altruism, and not for his own fame, and self reward.
Lastly, I will say that beyond the feat if discovering the new world, that Columbus was able to organize his expedition during difficult times, and have get it funded, was a near miracle itself made possible only by his strength of character, his personal courage, and his perseverance in his belief, and his faith in divine destiny.
Agreed.

Likely bullcrap. It's not very Jewish to name your son CHRISTopher.

Believe it or not, things can be discovered more than once...
True, but I'm not convinced that this was exactly what happened in this case.
Why? Because it successfully Christianized the America’s centuries before Protestants came over on the Mayflower?
Satanic homosexual knight templar / Freemasons infiltrated the church, but they were also destroyed by the very same church.
Yes, the church has had enemies behind the gates before however, the gates of hell will not prevail over the church founded by Jesus and his apostles.
