What Killed the Native Populations?

1. Great video. Let’s also note that there is an opposite theory of Europeans succumbing to native diseases to which they had no resistance. Malaria comes to my mind first bring my area of special interest. But also cholera.
   And let’s not forget as well as potatoes and tobacco, the Spanish supposedly brought syphilis from New World.

2. Thank you very much Dr Sam great information.

3. Kudos again to the Bailey Brigade. Per the last reference mentioned….
   More reading on-line. https://whatreallymakesyouill.com/smallpox-dispelling-a-popular-myth/
   This nicely complements Sam’s presentation.
   In the book itself you can find it on pg 119 to 124 with additional information on pg 130 about the syphilis-conquistador myth.
   Ulick, did you see the section on Malaria Pg 510? For Cholera pg 91 there is a brief mention per the Max Pettenkofer experiments.
   Like many other diseases there were never any distinct criteria for diagnosing syphilis versus other diseases e.g. leprosy and malaria.
   Plus the list of symptoms has changed dramatically over time. Even the treatments could produce these symptoms as side effects!

4. Thank you for tackling this important topic. It will be a hard one for people to let go of. Especially, as you point out, in the current culture of blaming white people for all that is wrong in the world.

5. On chemical poisoning, I heard from one source that historically toxic poisoning regularly happened at port towns and cities. There is the possibility that water poisoning took place while the perpetrators went away in their ships.

6. This is an excellent and succinct video. Your work keeps getting better. As more people understand what you, Mark, and others are saying, the faster the shift will happen.

7. Hi Sam,
   I have lived my entire 72 years as a resident of Hawaii and am very familiar with the idea that there was mass extermination of indigenous Hawaiians by measles. Thanks for providing a factual scenario that more realistically explains the outcomes that the native population experienced. No one has really looked at the conditions of life for the average Hawaiian before contact with “white men” but there is evidence that life was not the idyllic scene that we are accustomed to think they lived in. I like to wonder why so many Hawaiians converted to Christianity once the missionaries arrive here if their lives were so good under the Kingdom and their Kahuna and Kapu system. And why there was the necessity of a “city of refuge” where one could escape the consequences of war and of the Kapu system.
   Thanks for your continued production of these much needed educational materials, I always appreciate them and take them with gratitude ,

8. Great video as usual, but as a huge Matt Walsh fan, I loved your inclusion of the clips from his latest movie. It is definitely the blaming of “the White man” that helps fuel a lot of these “diseases killed the natives” propaganda.

9. The invading Europeans, committed crimes against humanity, in complete opposition to their Christian upbringing and moral beliefs. Aware of leaving a negative historical legacy, to avoid accountability, to blur any semblance of responsibility, the settlers created a convenient justification for the resulting population decline of the indigenous people. They falsely claimed that the Indians were decimated by smallpox, of which there is no forensic evidence, falsely blamed it on an alleged native weak immune systems that never previously encountered the invisible smallpox virus. The trope is that the highly contagious European invaders supposedly had immunity from smallpox and, even though they still harbored the virus without symptoms, were infecting the ‘unhealthy’ native populations. Apparently this claim of falsely blaming smallpox, a measles-like rash, for killing the ‘Indians’ was used as justification to ease their minds and not to be accountable for the real reasons for the decline in population: the massacres and forced migrations, which robbed them of their source of agriculture and hunting grounds. Being deprived of a reliable and healthy food supply they became overcome with a sense of futility or defeat which caused despair, depression and low self-worth which led to drastic dietary changes, poor health, poverty, crimes, suicides, alcohol addiction, along with other ‘culling the herd’ problems.

10. Thank you Sam.
    Yeah, it’s a common sense that Spanish that time were ferocious (whether it’s according to the fake history or not, I don’t know) not that any of “virus” ever proven to exist.
    Since there is so much fake ass narratives going on, I’m now questioning about “history” and started wondering about Tartarian thing that some talks about; but I can’t go much further as these “human parasite / virus – like beings” are good about hiding evidences.

11. Great video and a really interesting and important topic, as the White Man is heading towards the same fate as the natives back in the day: having their land stripped off them.
    I wish you would do a discussion with Graham Hancock, who also keeps spreading this smallpox myth.
