Letter from one of the most evil King Leopold II of Belgium to Colonial Missionaries, 1883
Posted by Reunionblackfamily. on January 4, 2012 at 3:30 PM

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.”

Chiedozie Okoro. Letter from King Leopold II of Belgium to Colonial Missionaries, 1883 2

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

Congo robber farm.

and clear. What then must Africans of today begin to do to save themselves from brainwashing by

their White World enemies here on earth? – That is the question.

Why do we have so much religion with afflicted pains?? I wonder what Africa would have be without the conquerors of the west.

Some people are still peddling this nonsense?

Incredibly and shockingly, some were even comparing the genuineness of this "letter" to the genuineness of The Gospels.

I hate it when Africans attribute their backwardness, laziness and disposition to ineptitude to the arrival of the white missionaries to their continent. Africans have a problem, plain and simple. Slavery and colonization has nothing to do with. The Christian missionaries you spoke of, they left the continent decades ago, more than enough time for Africans to start to use their intellect and to look for ways to move themselves ahead from where the missionaries left them instead they have only succeeded in making their living conditions worse.
White missionaries are not responsible for the lackadaisical attitudes Africans have to self development, they are not responsible for the unbelievably colossal amount of greed African leaders have for money that is meant for their citizens, missionaries are not stopping Africans from starting a revolution and forcibly removing those in power that are in office to serve their interests alone.

Even if we still had our traditional religions with us and were never colonized, what makes you think we would have been better off? Didn't the traditional religions consist of barbaric practises like sacrificing human beings to the gods and throwing twins in the evil forest and other such acts?
Forget this 'we were underdeveloped by Europe' thing. It is not true.
