The Spanish Inquisition is the central pillar of the Black Legend, a propaganda narrative created by Spain's rival powers in the 16th and 17th centuries that drastically exaggerated the tribunal's violence to delegitimize the Empire. While it was a repressive institution of religious control, modern historiography based on royal archives demonstrates that the procedural reality of the Holy Office was significantly more moderate, regulated, and involved fewer executions than the civil and religious courts of the rest of Europe during the same period. The number of victims: Protestant and Enlightenment propaganda spread the idea of ​​millions of deaths. Modern studies of court records estimate that in its 350-year history, the actual number of executions ranged between 3,000 and 5,000 people, representing less than 2% of all those tried. Kamen, Henry.

The Spanish Inquisition: A Historical Revision (Crítica / Editorial Pasado & Presente). This is the essential international reference work. The renowned British Hispanist uses archival data to dismantle romantic myths and secular propaganda.

Henningsen, Gustav and Contreras, Jaime. Inquisition and Society in Early Modern Europe (1986). These two authors carried out a monumental statistical analysis of nearly 44,000 inquisitorial cases recorded between 1540 and 1700, scientifically establishing the low execution rates (around 1.9%). Henningsen, Gustav. The Witches' Advocate: Witchcraft and the Inquisition in the Basque Country (Alianza Editorial). A definitive monograph demonstrating how the methodological skepticism of Inquisitor Alonso de Salazar y Frías saved thousands of lives and curbed the witch hunts in Spain. Lea, Henry Charles. History of the Spanish Inquisition (4 volumes).

Although it is a text from the beginning of the 20th century (and the author had certain biases of his time), it is still valued for being the first major study that made massive use of royal archives

It is irrelevant whether pro-immigration adherents approve of mass migration, the jews doing it explicitly state it is a punishment.

As such, saying "Refugees Welcome" is sado-masochistic because it exposes not just the supporter, but everyone around her too.

It's a good time to read Henry Ford's The Complete International Jew. There is no country for the International Jew, which is every ruling class, "go back to headquarters or more explicitly, to the bank" Jew, as the Netanyahus demonstrate so clearly. There are only countries and people to lay waste to, including the Jews and other Abrahamists not of the ruling class, unless momentarily useful in a particular theatre. There is no pre-historic animist tradition nor even a metaphysics they can claim as their own, no legitimate original country, no non-mercenary, non-psychopathic military, no true allies or friends. They come from … think for yourself where. It must be terribly lonely when you worship the force-evil of authority - and the decimation of the little others have - as your truth, and not good and truth as your authority. Is that authority fading in thinking peoples’ consciousness and good conscience? It should do by now in the grand cycle of things.

As Israel gloats about the Spanish migrant crisis, I recall how old this conflict really is. Centuries, perhaps millennia. Israel gloats that Spain has to make a decision about “undesirables” just like Israel must. Big differences here, but they still sting. The thing is, the Jews are responsible for the European open borders moral framework, they have been in the forefront of the issue. So they make this moral framework, openly break it in regards to Israel, and then mock Goys for failing to live up to their fake standards. No wonder the Spaniards desired to be rid of them.
