    “Reverends, Fathers and Dear Compatriots: The task that is given to
    fulfill is very delicate
    and requires much tact. You will go certainly to evangelize, but your evangelization must inspire
    above all Belgium interests. Your principal objective in our mission
    in the Congo is never to teach
    the niggers to know God, this they know already. They speak and submit
    to a Mungu, one Nzambi,
    one Nzakomba, and what else I don't know. They know that to kill, to
    sleep with someone else's
    wife, to lie and to insult is bad. Have courage to admit it; you are
    not going to teach them what they
    know already. Your essential role is to facilitate the task of
    administrators and industrials, which
    means you will go to interpret the gospel in the way it will be the
    best to protect your interests in
    that part of the world. For these things, you have to keep watch on disinteresting our savages from
    the richness that is plenty [in their underground. To avoid that, they
    get interested in it, and make
    you murderous] competition and dream one day to overthrow you.
    Your knowledge of the gospel will allow you to find texts ordering,
    and encouraging your
    followers to love poverty, like “Happier are the poor because they
    will inherit the heaven” and, “It's
    very difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of God.” You have to
    detach from them and make
    them disrespect everything which gives courage to affront us. I make
    reference to their Mystic
    System and their war fetish – warfare protection – which they pretend
    not to want to abandon, and
    you must do everything in your power to make it disappear.
    Your action will be directed essentially to the younger ones, for they
    won't revolt when the
    recommendation of the priest is contradictory to their parent's
    teachings. The children have to learn
    to obey what the missionary recommends, who is the father of their
    soul. You must singularly insist
    on their total submission and obedience, avoid developing the spirit
    in the schools, teach students to
    read and not to reason. There, dear patriots, are some of the
    principles that you must apply. You will
    find many other books, which will be given to you at the end of this conference. Evangelize the
    niggers so that they stay forever in submission to the white
    colonialists, so they never revolt against
    the restraints they are undergoing. Recite every day – “Happy are
    those who are weeping because
    the kingdom of God is for them.”

    Convert always the blacks by using the whip. Keep their women in nine
    months of
    submission to work freely for us. Force them to pay you in sign of recognition-goats, chicken or
    eggs-every time you visit their villages. And make sure that niggers
    never become rich. Sing every
    day that it's impossible for the rich to enter heaven. Make them pay
    tax each week at Sunday mass.
    Use the money supposed for the poor, to build flourishing business
    centres. Institute a confessional
    system, which allows you to be good detectives denouncing any black
    that has a different
    consciousness contrary to that of the decision-maker. Teach the
    niggers to forget their heroes and to
    adore only ours. Never present a chair to a black that comes to visit
    you. Don't give him more than
    one cigarette. Never invite him for dinner even if he gives you a
    chicken every time you arrive at
    his house.
    “The above speech which shows the real intention of the Christian
    missionary journey in
    Africa was exposed to the world by Mr. Moukouani Muikwani Bukoko, born
    in the Congo in 1915,
    and who in 1935 while working in the Congo, bought a second hand Bible
    from a Belgian priest
    who forgot the speech in the Bible. – Dr. Chiedozie Okoro
    We should note:
    1] that all missionaries carried out, and still carry out, that
    mandate. We are only lucky to
    have found King Leopold's articulation of the aim of all Christian
    imperialist missionaries to Africa.
    2] Even the African converts who today manage the older churches in
    Africa (the priests,
    bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals etc of the Roman and Protestant
    sects), and especially also those
    who evangelize Born-Again Christianity, still serve the same mandate.
    Which is why they
    demonize African gods and Anglicize African names, and drop the names
    of African deities which
    form part of African names; and still attack and demolish the African
    shrines that have managed to
    survive, e.g. Okija.
    3] Those Africans who voluntarily converted to Christianity before the
    colonial conquest
    such as Affonso I of the BaKongo in the 15th century probably did not
    discern the purpose of the
    brand of Christianity that was supplied to them. Which was probably
    why they fell easy prey to the
    missionaries and the white traders and pirates who followed them.
    But their Japanese counterparts probably did discern the game, even
    without access to some
    version of Leopold's letter. But even if the Japanese Shoguns did not
    intuit what Leopold makes
    explicit, they clearly realized the danger of Japanese converts to
    Christianity forming a fifth column
    within Japanese society and state, a fifth column loyal to their co-religionists in Europe. To rid
    Japan of that danger, in the late 16th century, the Shoguns began
    their expulsion of Portuguese and
    Spanish missionaries on the grounds that they were forcing Japanese to
    become Christian, teaching
    their disciples to wreck temples, taking and trading slaves, etc.
    Then, in 1596, it became clear to the
    Japanese authorities that Christianization had been a prelude to
    Spanish conquest of other lands; and
    Letter from King Leopold II of Belgium to Colonial Missionaries, 1883
    3
    it quickly dawned on them that a fifth column loyal to Rome and
    controlled by the priests of a
    foreign religion was a clear and present danger to the sovereignty of
    a newly unified Japan. Soon
    after, the persecution and suppression of Japanese Christians began.
    Early in the 17th century,
    sensing the danger from a creed that taught obedience to foreign
    priests rather than the Japanese
    authorities, all missionaries were ordered to leave and all Japanese
    were ordered to register at the
    Buddhist temples. When Japanese Christians took part in a rebellion,
    foreign priests were executed,
    the Spanish were expelled and Japanese Christians were forbidden to
    travel abroad. After another
    rebellion, largely by Christians, was put down, the Japanese
    Christians were suppressed and their
    descendants were put under close state surveillance for centuries
    thereafter. In the 1640s all
    Japanese suspected of being Christians were ruthlessly exterminated.
    Thus did Japan, by 1650, save
    itself from the first European attempt to mentally subvert, conquer
    and colonize it.
    4] The African captives who were taken abroad and enslaved, and the
    Africans at home after
    the European conquest, having already been forcibly deprived of their
    autonomy, were in no
    political position to resist Christianization. Thus the Christianity
    still practised in all of the African
    American diaspora, just as that in the African homeland since the
    start of the 20th century,
    continues to carry out the Leopoldian mandate.
    Hence, for example, whereas the White Born-Agains of the USA, when in
    the US Navy
    ships in WWII, sang:
    “Praise the Lord,
    And pass the ammunition,” the attitude of African Born-Again converts
    today is best
    summed up as:
    “Praise the Lord,
    And lie down for the manna.”
    Thanks to a century or more of this Leopold-mandated missionary mind
    control, African
    Christians are not an activist, self-helping, economically engaged,
    politically resolute, let alone
    militant bunch. Hence their putting up with all manner of mistreatment
    and exploitation by their
    misrulers, white and black. The most they are disposed to do to their
    misrulers is to admonish them
    to “Fear God!” – as one protester's miserable placard read in last
    week's Lagos demonstration
    against the latest of the murderous fuel price hikes by the OBJ
    Misgovernment. The idea of an
    uprising to tame their misrulers is alien to the religiously opiated
    frame of mind of the Nigerians.
    5] The lesson in the contrast between an Africa that the Christian
    missionaries brainwashed
    and subverted, and a Japan where this brainwashing and subversion was
    forcibly prevented, is stark
    and clear. What then must Africans of today begin to do to save
    themselves from brainwashing by their White world enemies here on
    earth.

    Old Leo sounds like a pretty cool guy. He certainly knew how to deal
    with niggers
