| The Dream of Christopher Columbus |
Christopher Columbus was not the given name of the man who navigated to the New World. Variously translated, his chosen name was Cristoval Colon or Colom, and his given name is still unknown. Christopher Columbus was deeply connected to Portugal’s King John II’s inner circle through marriage long before any important actions. The family members of Columbus’s wife, Filipa Moniz Perestrelo, were all part of the court of King John II and of the king’s household, including the king’s mistress, Lord Chamberlain and bodyguard. Many of them were grandchildren and other descendants of the Kings of Spain, France, and Portugal – a connection that only we discovered just a few years ago.
The Italian named Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus), long presumed to be the legendary explorer, Cristobal Colon was only a poor wool weaver in Genoa as claimed by every historian and documents. He lacked the noble station required to marry nobility, as the explorer Colon did long before his historic voyage. There is no uncontested evidence that the explorer knew how to speak Italian, or had any substantial connection to that country.
Columbus’s cryptic signature, “XpoFERENS Colon” as we decipher it, indicates that he was a member of the super-secretive Templar Military Order of Christ, which had a stronghold in Portugal at the time leading up to his voyage. As a member, like his father-in-law and brothers-in-law, he was dedicated to ridding the world of Muslims, who had occupied his country several centuries before.
Though history tells us that the Columbus felt angry and betrayed when King John II of Portugal refused to fund his trip, Christopher Columbus continuously colluded with Portugal after the supposed rejection. This is because he was sent to Spain to lead Spanish explorers Westward and force Spain away from the Portuguese monopoly. Christopher Columbus's efforts took Spain’s focus away from Portugal’s coveted eastern sea route to India, with its promises of gold, spices, and other riches. Columbus continued to communicate with the King of Portugal during his voyages. He continuously lied to the Kings of Spain, helped the Portuguese, and navigated with secret sun charts commissioned by the Portuguese king.
Columbus’s descendants continued to lie and hide the truth from the Kings of Spain with the help of their well-connected relatives.
