Fox
News’ Jesse Watters Argues Native Americans’ Lands Not Stolen: ‘We Won This
Land on the Battlefield’ (Video)
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/fox-news-jesse-watters-argues-010150838.html
“So, I guess if a street gang
killed him [Watters] and his family, and the street gang sold his family's real
estate, the purchaser of the real estate, so long as he got a receipt, would be
the legal owner, with nothing due him or his family….
If China or India sent half
their population to the U.S.A. and had each go 1 on 1 with an American Citizen,
with the excess going to their Embassy in the U.S., and threaten each American
with death or the transfer of their real estate and all their other assets,
would that mean that the U.S.A. was legitimately a part of China or India?
I love, protect and defend our
Country, and have served with honor in our military.
But that does not change the
fact that what is now the American Continent, including the U.S.A., Canada,
Mexico, and South America is the result of invaders, (Explorers), who seized the
Territory from an indigenous population that had inhabited the land for
thousands of years.
The rulers of the invaders,
(Explorers) countries of origin never had a legitimate claim to the land they
seized.
Of course, Land Title Searches
do not go back far enough to determine the original owners of the land.
People who cite the ‘Louisiana
Purchase’ the acquisition of Florida from Spain as well as other similar
transactions fail to understand that they were in fact purchasing ‘Stolen
Goods’, which is illegal, and title of ownership doesn't transfer legitimately
under our legal system.” – Richard Fine, via email in response to Jesse
Watters’ Fox News comments on July 6th in response to a July 4th
tweet by Congressperson Cori Bush, 07/07/2021
