4 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
CHAPTER III
STOLEN LEGACY
“My people are being destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4: 6)
As mentioned in our introduction, if the Mystery of Fatima is a true bomb, it
is because it exposes the “Big Lie.” It must tear to pieces any notion of
racial supremacy. We will see that the Third Secret is a message heralding
the end of such savagery.
From enslavement of blacks in the 16th century to the methodized torture-
murders of Khazar Jews and millions of “racial inferiors” by Nazis, to the
“ethnic cleansing” mass murders of the Balkans, humankind has shown an
incomprehensible compulsion to inflict pain upon its own species. The
World’s official religious institutions have complicited themselves, perhaps
more reprehensibly than those among their flocks who took direct roles as
slave masters and tormentors; these latter did, after all, take guidance from
the pulpits. These centuries of lunacy have reached the point where Divine
intervention has become necessary.
Acceptable social behavior has traditionally flowed out to individuals from
their religious institutions, which also color and determine the character of
educational institutions. Members of these societies develop their individual
behavior around the beliefs they are taught from these centers. They will
defend the beliefs they learn from religious sources, sometimes into
murderous fanaticism.
Innocents who have been taught lies will defend those lies until they learn
better. For many who were not born with the skin tones arbitrarily called
“black”, it may seem difficult to recognize the magnitude of the “Big Lie”
they have been taught, and defended, for so many generations. In fact,
racially discriminating authorities have “used and abused” history to impose
and encourage a false sense of superiority over so-called primitive peoples,
whom they call “black”.
During the sixties, there was a televised debate between African American
writer James Baldwin and a somewhat right-wing editor from Vermont. He
asked Baldwin: “What have blacks ever contributed to the civilization in the
Universe?”
5 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
The right-winger seriously expected to humiliate Baldwin; what could he
reply but “nothing?” Baldwin instead responded humbly with a considerable
list of the accomplishments of black individuals throughout history. The
right-wing editor, nonplussed, fell silent.
That editor’s prejudice represents the basis of the extraordinary sufferings
endured by whole continents of human beings over and beyond four
centuries of modern history. His prejudice is still shared by many people who
have in common a false sense of superiority, attributed to themselves over
the black races, merely for differences in skin colorings.
This painted image of blacks having made no contributions to humanity was
not an accident. It was part of a psychological strategy of eurocentrics to
subdue peoples whose lands they would conquer and resources they would
then loot by military force.
“Most military strategies are based on deceit. A skilled general, with
experience must usually master the art of creating an illusion in order to
confuse and delude the enemy. His indispensable primary target, in
consideration with a battle, is to attack the mind of the enemy.1
Europeans falsified history with the aim of attacking the minds of people of
the black races by inoculating them with a kind of poisoned education. This
strategy was carried out on two fronts, theological and scientific. They were
designed to deprive blacks of a semblance of cultural heritage and of any
prestigious patrimony inherited from their ancestors.
Didn’t Napoleon remark that “History is a fallacy agreed upon?”2 The famous
French general’s men destroyed the plainly negro nose of the ancient statue
of the Sphinx while in Egypt, and removed an obelisk from its ancient
foundations to place it in the heart of Paris instead.3

Supremacist, jingoist Europe made its historical deceptions efficiently. In
artwork, Christ became a fair-haired Italian man; biblical characters, most of
whom common sense would prompt one to understand were dark-skinned
and black-skinned, now looked white. As the centuries wore on, the
“whiteness” superimposed upon the depictions of saints and prophets and
Christ were universally distributed, leaving the darker skinned children to
hate themselves for not resembling the now flaxen-haired euro models of old
African Egypt.
By the 20th century, broadcasting, cinema and television biblical dramas had
attained such a ludicrousness that even whites thought it was funny to hear
the wealthy, highly Cro-Magnon actor Charlton Heston declare through
gritted teeth as he played Moses: “What kind of a God would keep his people
in slavery for so long?” Milky skinned British and American starlets, none of
whom looked like even so much as Romans, played black Egyptians and
Phoenicians and so on. Eventually, the imaginations of innocent black
children were pushed away from a sense of kinship of their own ancestors,
who created the actual historical roles that all these white people
portrayed.

8 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
TWO INSULTS TO HUMANITY
For a small but concise illustration of the psychological destruction executed
by racial “supremacists”, let us recall two historical cases.
First, there is the story of “Hottentot Venus”. This young, black South
African toured Europe until she succumbed to misery and homesickness and
died on December 29, 1815, at age 25. She was an ordinary teenager of the
Khoikhoi, or Hottentot, people. Built with an exceptional camber, like most
women of her tribe, an Afrikaaner kidnapped her from her home in 1810.
After some months, carried by ship across the Atlantic, she was displayed to
whites in France and England in a cage, like a wild animal. She became a
main attraction at circuses, museums, and universities in London and Paris.
While displayed at the Museum of Mankind in Paris she lived with dirt and
plaster molds all over her naked body. Saartjie Baartman, her Dutch
Afrikaaner name, gained a ghastly celebrity status in England and France
under this name. Homesick and brokenhearted at being treated as a mere
object of curiosity for gawking strangers, she survived only five years.
Georges Cuvier was a French scientist renowned for his study of European
geological evidence that supported the story of the Deluge of Noah. With his
popularity in paleontology and anatomy, it fell to Professor Cuvier to support
this scientific dehumanization before the public. Cuvier and his assistants
carved up the young woman’s body in an autopsy and made notes. Cuvier
wrote: “She is to be placed just a little above the Orang-Utan”.4 The study
4 Broadcasted on TV/France, Nov. 12, 1998
9 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
was disregarded later, but not without having done more damage to the
esteem of black peoples in many ways.
The Pygmy Ota Benga
The second case is of the Pygmy named Ota Benga. Kidnapped in the
beginning of the 20th century from his homeland of Congo by the Belgium
King, Leopold II, who then claimed ownership of this immense territory of
more than two million square miles, Ota found himself thrown into a dark
tank in a ship on his way to New York City, USA. When he was delivered
there, the management immediately put him in the Bronx Zoo, next to apes
and monkeys.
10 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
A newspaper of that time wrote:5
“Several thousand people took buses, subways, the elevated cars and some
drove to the Zoological Park, in Bronx, New York, yesterday, to see Ota
Benga, the Bushman, who had been put in a monkey cage for exhibition to
the public by the management of the zoo. The Bushman didn’t seem to
mind, and the sight extremely pleased the crowd. Although very few were
scandalized to see a human being placed in a cage with monkeys for
neighbors, it was clear that to the majority of the spectators, this display of
a Monkey-Man was the most exciting and interesting attraction at the park in
the Bronx.”
The demeaning equating of dark skinned individuals with monkeys would be
taken as nothing more than an abusive joke except for the previous
preachings of Charles Darwin, who gathered together various crackpot ideas
from among celebrated 19th century scientists which became known as the
“evolutionary theory.”
If Darwin was not inspired by a devil from without, then he was compelled by
a devil within who loathed his own father. The senior Darwin was famed
preacher of his day who enjoyed high celebrity.
Darwin didn’t want religious fame. He instead subscribed to different, albeit
scientifically unsupportable, theories of Creation. While his father bellowed
paeans from his pulpit testifying to the superiority of England in God’s eyes,
Darwin contrived lengthy testimonies anathema to his father’s preaching.
Darwin created an excuse to politely ignore God; the universe had been
formed entirely at random, he said, and so was essentially a meaningless
place, outside of some vaguely defined drive to get to the top of a heap.
Animals accidentally formed out of one another through a series of minute
chemical accidents over long unfathomable periods of millions of years.
Long after his fame overshadowed his father’s, Darwin confessed in a letter
to his brother that he knew no evidence could support his theory, but wished
someone would find it one day. He “witnessed” for evolution with less
testimony than there had been for the appearance of Christ. The new
faithful began to gather like troubled clouds and increased in number with
astonishing rapidity.

11 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
Millions of young Westerners who were equally fed up with the pomp of fire
and brimstone and damnation found Darwin’s alternative explanation of the
origins of the universe strangely liberating. This new science could supplant
the rigid and arbitrary thing that an essentially racist Christianity had
become by the 19th century. As this was science, conscience was not
required, nor was sensitivity to emotional damage considered a virtue.
Humans who were not conspicuously the offspring of northern European
tribes could now be displayed in zoos, rather than forced into a religion.
“Evolutionary” theory established a wobbling ladder of pseudoscientific
values. The “fittest” of humanity climbing the imaginary rungs to the
choicest fruits was judged on skin color. White would of course be on the top
of the ladder, plucking the finest apples from the tree, yellow in the middle
and the black or brown at the bottom, just above monkeys.
Arrogant nonsense such as this triggered so-called “social Darwinism”. Social
Darwinism postulated that superior individuals (such as the European nobility
and favored commoners, so long as they were white) were destined to rule
over masses of inferior people, and largely dispose of them as they saw fit.
In an arrogance grown into lunacy, Social Darwinism inspired European
imperialists to agree to divide Africa among themselves and subjugate the
people and rob it clean, in Berlin in 1885. It lubricated the rationale for the
mass murders of Jews, Gypsies, Slavs, and other “racial inferiors”, under the
Nazis. The “Big Lie” continues with “ethnic cleansings” between misguided
peoples.
Is the Bible incorrect in citing the origins of humankind? It says Man was
created in the image of God.6 The Creation story took place in Africa.
6 Genesis 1 :26
12 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
Preaching to Athenians from center stadium one day, Saint Paul made it
clear that God “hat made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and
the bounds of their habitation.”7
Recently, scientists concluded that the physical origins of the human being
are found in Africa. These conclusions are based on studies of genetic
biology and mitochondrial DNA. Honorably enough, the Vatican amended
itself on this subject at a congress of Pontifical Academy for Life, which took
place in Rome, in early 1999.8
All these crimes, all this rapacity, all these abominations against humanity
itself find origins in the “Stolen Legacy”.
It is with warmly honorable duty we dedicate this chapter to the African
American Scholar, George G. M. James. He wrote Stolen Legacy,9 a book that
stirred controversy and sensational news in the fifties. Professor James
exposed the Big Impostors. The Great Greek Philosophers, nearly all of them,
studied Egyptian philosophy and science. After returning to their country,
they often blithely plagiarized their Egyptian teachers; they are honored yet
for “discoveries” which in fact was age-old knowledge from Africa.
Professor James died a violent death shortly after the publication of his
book. He was a victim of a mysterious automobile accident while driving
from Nashville, where his family lived, to the University of Arkansas, where
he taught mathematics and latin-greek civilization.
Some suspected that the accident was a disguised crime. Professor George
G. M. James was added to an ancient and unfinished list of people who have
died while denouncing lies. He was led to question the dogma of an
immaculately original Latin-Greek civilization, appearing as though by a
spontaneous generation; there must also be an unfinished list of those who
would try to defend lies by destroying humanity.
Foreigners have usurped the inheritance that runs through the ancient veins
of our flesh, and its incalculable heritage.
“Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens…”
(Lamentations of Jeremiah 5:2).

13 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
Let’s consider the African called Saint Maurice. While we cannot wave flags
over the fact that he was a hero in the Crusades, he had strongly impressed
the people of Europe. Many named their children after him, and “Maurice”,
which derives from the Greek Mavros, or “The Black”, became a common
Christian name. His standing portrait, a work of art by a German Artist of the
15th century, Matthias Grunewald, represents him as he was, a Black African.
A few years after his death, his portrait was bleached to white and the
meaning of Maurice (the Moor, the Black) fell into the limbo of history.
Another example is an African Pope, who headed the Church during the
conversion to Christianity of Emperor Constantine in 313. Miltiades was the
32nd Sovereign Pontiff, after Apostle Peter, according to Vatican
Chronicles.10 He also was posthumously bleached white.
The case of the ancient Egyptian history deserves special recognition. By
their own estimates, Egyptian civilization thrived for 11,000 years; although
this figure is disputed by later scholars, it is plain that Egypt was in cultural
flower through ages that most of the rest of mankind lived as migratory
savages. In ancient times, Egypt was already ancient, the classic place for
travelers from upstart Mediterranean civilizations like Greece and Rome.
They came as pilgrims to acquire scientific, religious, moral, social, and
philosophical knowledge.
If those who were the builders of the Great Pyramids were highly praised,
even by civilizations long since lost in the dust, their descendants have for
10 IVAN VAN SERTIMA, African Presence in Early Europe, p. 101
14 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
centuries been treated as the most despised people in the world. Their
prestigious legacies of knowledge and art have passed into foreign hands
through successive foreign conquests.
If only the mummified Pharaohs could lift the covers of their coffins, remove
their bandages and get up and testify. What would they say?
They would say that they didn’t come from any “orient”, near or far, despite
the fictitious history cutting them from their African motherland. They
would have a few things to say to the art thieves who called them a “white
race having black skin” with the excuse that some of the sculptural
representations didn’t match what racist classifiers preferred a “black race”
should look like.11
They would shout “Stop your lies! Yes, you call us Egyptians in your books,
but have you made us all Greeks for the simple reason that Egypt is a Greek
word?
“Didn’t our fathers, for thousands of years, respond to the name of Khem in
remembrance of the original ancestor of the Great Ham, the son of Noah?
Our land, generously watered by a noble river called Nile, which the source
is situated at the heart of Africa, our own source.12 Isn’t called Khemit in
honor of the same glorious ancestor?
“Wasn’t the first of our ancestors, called the powerful Kush, who fathered
Nimrod, the irresistible warrior, first ever to rule the entire world, that
people and nations adored him like a god?13 Doesn’t the head of Great
Nimrod yet appear on the emblem of this European country called Corsica?14
The voice of Pharaoh, soaring from the bottoms of their coffins, up to us,
breaking the sidereal silence of everlasting time, couldn’t be ignored.
Making their indignation ours, we have selected a few other witnesses,
testimony of the Elders. They saw the Pharaohs with their own eyes and
described them without beating around the bush. Let’s call to the bench our
first witness, a person named Herodotus.
11 It is as though, because they do not have the Negroid type defined by racists – frizzy hair, thick lips, flat nose – some contemporary African such as Ethiopians, Erythreans, Somalians, Peuhls or Tutsis, are no longer identified as blacks, but turn ipso facto whites. 12 The source of the Nile is in Uganda, where, according to his last will, the ashes of Mahatma Ghandi were scattered, a final homage to Mother Africa. 13 Genesis 10 :6-12
15 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
He was a Greek, a scholar and adventurer of the 5th century before our era.
He is usually called the Father of History. This tireless traveler visited Egypt
in 447 BCE. He took care to write down everything he saw during his
adventure. Herodotus several times insisted that the Egyptians had Negro
characteristics. His testimony has never been in controversy.
During a trip around the Black Sea, Herodotus met a race of people called
Colches or Colchidians. He also remembered that this was the same area
where there lived the glorious Kush, son of Ham. Here is how Herodotus
describes them in one of his most famous writings:14
“Obviously, the Colchidians are of Egyptian race. Before hearing from others
what I say is of my own opinion. When I took this question in mind, I
interrogated the people of the two races. I found that Colchidians had more
remembrance of Egyptians than the Egyptians of Colchidians, but the
Egyptians told me that as far as they were concerned Colchidians are
descendants of Sesostris soldiers.”
“I studied them myself. Based on their physical features: first, because they
have black skin and their hair is curly (this does not prove anything, because
other people are also the same way). Furthermore, only among the men of
Colchidians, Egyptians, and Egyptians was circumcision practiced from the
beginning.”
In reality this is precious testimony. Take note that Herodotus places the
Colchidians, Egyptians and Ethiopians all in the same family. This
independently confirms the genealogy recorded in the Bible (Genesis 10).
The detail about circumcision will be equally important when time comes to
show that the descendants of Abraham, the first to practice circumcision on
his son Isaac, belonged to the same black race.15
Another famous author of ancient time, Diodorus Sicilus, wrote:
“The Ethiopians say that Egyptians are one of their colonies taken to Egypt
by Osiris. They even pretend that the country of Egypt was part of the Sea,
but the Nile river dragged so much crude alluvium from Ethiopia, that at the
end it was filled and became a part of the continent. He added that
Egyptians learned from them, as their authors and ancestors, the majority of
cultural laws. It’s from them that they learned to honor their kings as gods
14 HERODOTUS, Book II 15 Genesis 17 :9-11
16 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
and to bury their dead with such pump. The sculpture and writings started
with Ethiopians”.16
Thus, according to this testimony of Diodorus Sicilus, Egyptians learned
everything from Ethiopians, which in fact is more confirmed by archeological
excavations carried out in nowadays Sudan.
The opinion of all ancient writers about the race of Egyptians is summarized
by Maspero, a French Egyptologist matters:
“According to unanimous testimonial of ancient historians, they belong to an
African race, so called Negro, who first settled in Ethiopia, on the middle
Nile River, gradually descending and following the current of the river.
On the other hand, the Bible states that Mizraim, son of Ham, brother of
Kush and Canaan, came with his children from Mesopotamia to settle at the
banks of the river Nile.”17
It is worth underlining here that the entry of Egypt in the Arab-Islamic
sphere is a rather recent event based on several centuries of this country’s
history. This argument could not logically be used to explain the severing off
of Egypt from Black Africa, prompted by the biggest mythomaniacs in
History.
Complementing this trickery, these people falsely distinguished Egyptians
from blacks as though they were different from Ethiopians. For example, the
French historian Delafosse,18 insinuated that “blacks were already found
above the Elephantine, meaning upstream of the first cataract, ones
sedentary, and the others were nomads, living side by side with Egyptians.”
In a single sentence, the jingoist professor blithely made liars out of
Herodotus, Diodorus of Sicilus, the Bible, and many other sources. In like
manner, Nazi scholars “discovered” Egyptians were blonde-haired, blue-eyed
“Aryans” (Nazi race “experts” also listed Hitler’s black hair as “blonde”).
The testimony of Volney, one of the scientists who accompanied Napoleon
during his conquest of Egypt in 18th century, is also worth mentioning.
“Returning to the subject of Egypt, the feedback it gives to history, offers
much to reflect in philosophy. What a subject of meditation, to see the
barbarism and the present ignorance of Copts, descended from the alliance
16 Universal History, Book 3 17 MASPERO, Ancient History of the People of the Eastern Nations 18 PAYOT, Les Noirs de l’Afrique, 1922
17 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
of Egyptian genius and the spirit of Greeks, to think that this race of black
men, today our slaves and subject of disregard, is the one to whom we owe
our arts, sciences, and even language.”19
Again we bring you the testimony of a French philosopher, historian and
linguist, Fabre d’Olivet, who wrote in the 19th century:20
“For this purpose, I am taking myself back to a much remoter time than the
one we are living in today – and firming up my eyes, that a long prejudice
might have weakened, I stare, through the obscurity of centuries, at the
time when the white race to which we belong appeared in the world picture.
At that time – later I will try to determine the date – the white race was still
weak, savage, without laws, arts, and culture of any kind, stripped of
cultural memory and hopelessly lacked understanding. The white race lived
around the North Pole, where this race originated. The black race, older
than the white race, dominated the earth, and was holding the scepter of
the science and power: it possessed the entire continent of Africa and the
greatest part of Asia. During that time, the black race existed in all social
areas. The continent of Africa was covered by powerful nations. It also
possessed Arabia and expanded its colonies to all of the coastal areas in Asia,
and deep inlands. An unlimited number of monuments with African features
still exist in all these areas, bearing testimony to the greatness of people to
whom it belonged.
The enormous constructions of Mahabalipouram, the pyramids of Memphis,
the excavations of Thebes, and many other works that amazed imagination
attributed to giants, confirm the ancient existence of the black race and the
immense progress it accomplished in the arts”.
Closer to our time, let’s note the case of Mustapha Hefney, an Egyptian who
immigrated to the United States. He sued American authorities in court
because they classified him as white, whereas he considers himself black. A
native Egyptian, Hefney was proud of his African ancestry, which, according
to him, went all the way back to the pharaohs’ era. But when he migrated to
the United States in 1996, he was very upset when he was informed at his
arrival that he was white.
In U.S. immigration law, race is determined on geographic origin not ethnic
origin or the color of skin. This law states that blacks are only people
migrating from Sub-Saharan Africa.
19 C. F. VOLNEY, Voyage en Syrie et en Egypte, p. 77 20 FABRE D’OLIVET, Histoire Philosophique du Genre Humain, p.80
18 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
All people from Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East are automatically
classified as white ! With the refusal of American authorities to correct this
aberration, at least where he was concerned, Mustapha Hefney retained a
lawyer. “It is impossible to accept this”, he said. “Becoming officially white,
I have lost my identity”21. Thus this law, known as Number 15 is an official
confirmation of a big conspiracy against Africa and Africans by the
eurocentrists.
Aware of the impossibility of maintaining the dogma of white supremacy if
the region considered the cradle of civilization had been black from the
beginning, euro centrists simply separated Egypt and Palestine from the
geographic sphere and cultural compass of the African stock from which they
sprang.
From its Negro origins, after the close of its thousands of years of exemplary
culture, Egypt was overrun by Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Arabs,
Ottomans, French and British – a gradual “whitening” that was unrelated to
to the architectural achievements that still draw millions of tourists
thousands of years later. The work of despoiling this country was capped by
removing Egypt from its African roots on the maps. “Stolen Legacy” indeed.
The vultures of history had nipped its carcass into pieces.
STOLEN LEGACY: THE BLACK MADONNA
The black madonnas have always represented a mystery in Christian
iconography. They are so commonplace in certain regions of Europe, that
one would think there were once black communities there, if their modeling
qualities didn’t place them among the main Roman arts.
21 JEUNE AFRIQUE, November 25 to December 1, 1997, p.19
19 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
In most catholic churches in Europe – France, Italy, Germany, Spain,
Portugal, etc. – Jesus Christ and his mother are portrayed as blacks. To
persuade yourself, one may just visit the cathedral of Chartres, the chapel of
the Virgin of Loretto, or the churches called Annunciate, Saint Lazarus, Saint
Stephen at Genes, Brixen in the Tyrol, to that of Padou; from the church of
Theodore in Munich, to the cathedral of Augsburg where the Madonna and
Child are displayed, to the church of Sainte Geneviève of Neuilly (Paris).
“While living in New York, author J. A. Rogers22 received a letter from a
German correspondent concerning the black Madonna of her native country,
Bavaria. Saying that for years she has been trying to tell Americans that
Christ and Virgin Mary were blacks, but they would not believe her.
“I myself was born in a strictly catholic country in South Germany”, she says.
“And in our churches, a great importance is attributed to Saint Mary in her
position as the Mother of God. We have statues of the Madonna as well as
icons, which are original sculptures or paintings, dating as far back as 800 to
1000 years and even more. The faces of these images are black and of
Negroid type, in particular the two depictions brought by Ritter von Heiligers
Lande over a thousand years ago, the Madonna of Constuchan at Tolers and
the statue of the Mother of God at Alt-Olting in Bavaria. These two Madonnas
are held in high esteem in catholic countries where hundreds of thousands of
people make pilgrimages each year to worship the Mother of Christ. It’s said
that healing of all kinds takes place. Every catholic knows that Santa Maria is
an Ethiopian (African).”
JOHN PAUL II AND THE BLACK MADONNA OF POLAND
Let’s add this one, tacit, of John Paul II. It is tacit because the Pope remains
silent – although we are convinced that he was chosen to occupy the zenith
of Vatican hierarchy due to this nationality.
It would have been easier for him to reveal the Third Secret of Fatima
because of his devotion to the Black Madonna of Czestokowa, Poland. Each
year of his return to his homeland, since his election by cardinals in 1979, he
would kneel publicly before the Black Madonna. After surviving the
punishment attempt by the fanatical Agça in 1981, the Pope worshipped
publicly before the Lady of Fatima in Portugal and again at the Black Virgin
of Czestokowa. In the midst of these pilgrimages in 1983, John Paul II
declared to Catholics that the Black Madonna saved his life.
22 J. A. ROGERS, Sex and Race, p.275
20 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
It is worth noting that the Pope will kneel publicly before the image of a
black woman, which itself dates to the legendary times of Saint Luke. Would
this be a silent admission to the truth?
In any case, the public activity of the Pope is always performed with a
studied symbolic intent. John Paul’s ceremonial visit to the Madonna of both
Fatima and Czestokowa intended to curry favor with the millions of
concerned Catholics who believe the ancient painting and the monument to
Fatima both represent the same personality – that this same Mother of Christ
appeared to the shepherd children.
More anciently, the Black Madonna symbolized Israel and the twelve tribes.
Many millions of people carry an intuitive sense for the inner reality that this
more ancient image of the Mother of God represents. It is comforting, and it
provides psychic reassurance of a vast wealth of hope. This way, in an
ancient language that is a little more God’s than our own, we read at Fatima
a message shouted with great jubilation to the descendants of those ancients
who also knew Her as their Black Madonna and Mother.
Her appearance to Apostle John reaffirms her image, for us to use as a way
of moving our thoughts across millenniums: “And there appeared a great
wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her
feet, and upon her head, a crown of twelve stars” (Revelation 12:1).
21 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
These twelve stars represent the tribes of Israel. These tribes are African,
the children of the ancient Black Madonna, as we will elaborate further on in
this book.
Arriving in Poland toward the end of 14th century, the Black Madonna of
Czestokowa is a painting of our Lady with the baby Jesus. According to
legend, the artist was Saint Luke, one of Jesus’ followers. It is said that Luke
painted it on a piece of wood made by Jesus when he was still working as a
carpenter.
It was when he was making this portrait that Mary told Luke the details of
the Annunciation and childhood of Jesus, which explains why this Evangelist
was the only one who could depict those things with such detail.
Little is known about the painting during the first two centuries of its
existence. It is a fact that, during some unknown event, the painting
reappeared in 326 C.E.
Saint Helen discovered this painting during a trip to Jerusalem. She gave it
to her son, Emperor Constantine, who built a sanctuary in its honor in
Constantinople.
During a critical battle against the Saracens, the painting was displayed on a
wall in town, and the Saracens were defeated. Full credit of the victory was
attributed to the Black Madonna.
Later on, this painting ended up in the hands of Charlemagne, who offered it
later to Prince Leon of Ruteny in Hungary. It stayed in the royal palace of
Ruteny until the country was invaded in the 11th century. The king prayed
and pleaded to Our Lady to help his small army. In response, a thick fog
22 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
landed among the enemy troop. In confusion, these troops started attacking
each other. Thus, the town of Ruteny was saved, based on this miraculous
intervention. In the 14th century, in response to a request in a dream, Prince
Ladislau of Opala transferred the painting to the Hills of Light (the Sanctuary
of Jasna Gora of Poland).
From Prince Ladislau, this legend became more precisely documented. In
1382, the tartar invaders attacked a fortress of the Prince in Belz. During
this attack, a tartar’s spear landed on the neck of the Madonna. Fearing
capture by the enemy, the Prince took refuge, along with the icon, in the
convent of Czestokowa. The painting was placed in a small church, waiting
for a monastery and church to be built in its honor to house it with security.
In1430, the Hussites invaded the monastery and tried to steal the painting.
One of the invaders touched the painting with his sword twice, but before he
could touch it a third time, he fell to the floor in pain and died. Today, the
painting still has the cuts and hole inflicted by the sword.
Two centuries later, in 1655, Poland was almost defeated by the army of the
king of Sweden, Charles X. The only safe area was in the monastery where
the painting was kept. Inexplicably, the monks were able to resist for 40
days to the surprise of the Swedes, until Poland succeeded in chasing the
invaders out of its territory. After this event, Our Lady of Czestokowa
became a symbol of national unity and was crowned as the Queen of Poland.
King Casimir officially placed the country under the protection of the Black
Madonna.
It is for this reason that the Polish, for almost four centuries, have venerated
a black Madonna and Jesus without reservation. Lech Walesa, for example,
decided to fight against the Polish communist regime after placing his
struggle under the protection of the Black Madonna of Czestokowa.
His adventure was successful beyond anyone’s dreams. That’s why Walesa
seldom removed the Black Virgin badge he weared on his chest.
If the home country of the sitting Pope placed itself under the protection of
a black Madonna, it constitutes a “wide open window” on the disclosure of
the Third Secret of Fatima. John Paul II being Polish is less forgivable to keep
silent about this extraordinary news.

EVERYTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Hanging on church and museum walls throughout Europe are a plethora of
painted images of Black Madonnas. Standing on plinths are a multitude of
statues of Black Virgins. Only on rare occasions have scholars and theologians
acknowledged that the paintings render the image of a black woman simply
because that was her skin color – the same as most of the people of the
original tribes of Israel.
A German clergyman, Father Van den Steen, after examining the official
face of the Mother of Jesus on a painting, admitted that she was black.
Other official specialists on this subject prefer the traditional eurocentrist
point of view, which always represented Mary as blonde (which leads us back
to a favorite Eurocentric fantasy; see the case of David outlined hereafter),
against all the evidence about the period she lived and her geographic tribal
origins.
We have selected just a few from the multitude of explanations advanced,
even frivolously, about the tanned skin (a euphemism) of the Black Madonna
of our “Stolen Legacy”.
1) The black color is attributed to an artist’s fantasy.
This is one of the less credible explanations, because we do not see why a
white artist would decide to represent Mary – a key character in the
European culture – as black, if she effectively was white!
2) Black artists made the statues.
Even if Roman art owes a lot to copies, it is less probable. Otherwise, we
should surmise that all representations of Black Madonnas were imported
from Africa, which is ridiculous.
3) The original prototypes (without any remaining trace) were carved
with a black substance.
The hypothesis is meaningless because the majority of these statues were
painted, rather than carved on wood.
4) With time, the statues turned black because of environmental effects.
This explanation has been repeated often. It asserts that the black color was
caused by smoke from candles by generations of pilgrims who visited them.
Since these statues were always covered with ceremonial coats, which only
24 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
allowed the face and hands to be seen, only these would have turned black.
The Black Madonna’s color is supposedly due to soot!
Other whimsical explanations were also advanced. One was the probability
of oxidation emanating from fire or mineral salt, as though they were always
obliged to bury these statues underground during revolutions or religious
wars.
Another explanation for the sudden tanning of statues is based on the way
they were ritually honored. Supposedly, the ritual was to rub the statues
with oil and wine, as was being done to Our Lady at Apart in Dijon, France.
This hypothesis would not pass any exam. If these Madonnas were blackened
by residues from candles or any other outside effect, it would not be
possible to have white Virgins today; the white-skinned images would have
been exposed to the same aggressions and remain identifiable as such at a
casual glance.
It is worth noting that the (white) eyes and (red) lips of Black Madonnas kept
their colors. Logically, they should have also been darkened if their
explanation were correct.
5) The black color was selected because it portrayed the melancholy of
the closing Middle Age.
This explanation is a work of a French historian, Raoul Rochette, who sees
the face of the Virgin as being progressively covered with shades as the
society degraded. Are we expected to imagine that international councils
were held where church authorities made speeches such as “My fellow
clergymen, we all know how depressing these middle ages have become.
Therefore, let us darken all of our statues this every year until 1501?”
6) The black was selected to parallel what is said of Mary in Solomon’s
Song of songs.
“I am black, but comely, o ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar,
as the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me because the sun hath looked
upon me; my mother’s children were angry with me: they made me the
keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept”.23 This is a
love song between King Solomon and his lover, a Sulamite. This song is non-
2323 Song of Solomon 1 :5-6. There are a lot of things to say about the apparent opposition black vs beauty that seems to be the focus of this passage, but this is not the main issue of this book.
25 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
prophetic, written around 900 years before the era of Christ, without any
connection with the Madonna.
7) The Madonna is black because she belongs to a sinning race, and is the
Mother of Pains.
A French ecclesiastic, Canon Brugiere, defended this thesis. He attributed
the dark skin of the Virgin to three moral considerations. First, she was the
daughter of Adam, clothed in the world’s sins, but as exempted by her
grace. Second, Joseph thought that Mary committed adultery, when he saw
her pregnant. And finally, at the death of Jesus at Calvary, she was
“deformed and blackened by the excess of her pain.”
The racist bias of the above is so obvious that it deserves no comment. It is
also to be noted that no such decrees or instructions regarding the required
coloration of statues exist. Why wouldn’t they?
8) The black Madonnas are copies of the Saint Luke icon.
We kept this explanation for last because it is closer to reality and attributed
the black color to the Madonna’s race.
Based on some findings, Luke was supposedly the sole disciple of Jesus who
did not belong to the tribes of Israel. He was probably Syrian; for this he
would not have been prone to strictly literal observance of the second
commandment: “You should not make unto thee any graven image, or any
likeness of anything”24 in painting the Madonna. It’s not very probable that
as a daughter of Israel, Mary went along with an exercise contrary to Mosaic
law.
The elaborate intellectual contortions were contrived to push aside the only
natural and logical explanation. After all, the artists’ hearts sensed that
Black Madonnas represented a seal of historical authenticity. Thus came an
intellectual struggle against it.
In fact, it often happened that Virgins which were originally painted white,
were sent to factories to be transformed to Black Madonnas.
In the light of the preceding, we have a solid argument showing that the
original Israelites – in other words the twelve tribes of Isolele – were black,
as evidenced by the existence everywhere in Europe of Black Madonnas,
24 Exodus 20 :4
26 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
without objections from the millions of white-skinned faithful who knelt at
these depictions for so many centuries.
STOLEN LEGACY: THE BIBLE IS AFRICAN
Again, Revelation (12:1) refers to a lady who appeared “clothed with the
sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars”, the Lady represents Isolele and its twelve tribes.
This fact being confirmed, we can now attack the mystery of the
disappearance of the Isolele’s tribes.
Why was it so important to the supporters of the white conception of Judeo-
Christian culture to turn the Egyptians white? Why draw an imaginary line
between Egypt and the rest of the black continent? The main reason, without
doubt, was psychological; to expand its nationalism, European psychologists
needed to reinvent myths of absolute superiority against those she intended
to subdue. Those psychologists were the doctors and clergy of the Vatican.
Evidence that the proud European conquerors owed their own roots to those
whom they have crushed humiliatingly underfoot could be, to say the least,
disturbing. It was well known, then, that the peoples who played out the
biblical stories, which became the foundations of European civilization, were
black-skinned; this would not do if this cultural Mother Race were to be
skinned of its resources to enrich European enterprises.
Forgers of history set up their undertakings. The Christ recognized as the son
of God couldn’t be “a man of pain, used to suffering, whose visage makes
people look away”. He needed to be a handsomer, more indomitable actor
for this new role. His banner no longer bore a message of hope for the poor
over the rich, or weak, over the powerful. The poor, He now sniffed, “we
would always have with us” above them rose a white King of the physical
planet, dressed in gold and finery, now the symbol of imperialism, squashing
inalienable human rights underfoot in diffident steps. According to a popular
saying, an alliance was born between the Bible and the gun.
This new imperialist Christ the King had merely inadvertently surfaced in a
region of the world defined as the cradle of humanity and the black race.25 It
became essential for them to erase this “mistake”, or at least, the non-
whites from the face of that nation where He was born.
25 HERBERT WENDT, It Began in Babylon, New York, Delta Dell Publishing Company, p.368
27 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
Isolele as a nation was born in Egypt. With this in mind, it was time to turn
the basically black Egyptians white as far back as history would go. Historic
sources for the public were truncated, manipulated and forged.
During his Egyptian campaign, Napoleon had his men fire cannons at the
Sphinx’s nose to try to eradicate its African features. Mesopotamian and
Egyptian sculptures were decapitated and mutilated for the same reason.
Bible texts were translated or interpreted fallaciously. One example of
many, “you will not be ashamed” was changed into “you will not blush”,
leaving readers to presume the character concerned was white.
The same happened in the famous episode where the young David, future
king of Isolele, fought the giant Canaanite Goliath. Here again the deliberate
deception is plain. European translators led people to believe that David was
blonde : “And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained
him, for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of fair countenance”.26
The corresponding Hebrew word is adon, which simply means red. The
correct translation should have been “red”, not “ruddy” or “fair”. The
passage does not refer to the pinkish or blushed tones of the white skin of
young northern Europeans. Let’s put things back in their proper context.
Goliath and David belonged to the same race. What distinguished them was a
difference in skin tone. If you observe the mosaic of human colors that exist
in the black community, you’ll see that within the same nation, and among
the same ethnic background, skin tones range from very dark to the lightest.
In Africa and other regions of the world where blacks live, a light-skinned
person is said to be red, or buaki in the Kongo language.
For example, two attributive idioms of central Africa are buaki in Kikongo or
motane in the Lingala language, meaning “red”. This terminology is used to
differentiate skin tones.
We have, during our research, found only two versions of the Bible which
make the correct translation about David.27
They translated the following texts from Samuel as follows: “The Philistine
looked about, and saw David, and he disdained him: for he was but a youth
with clear (or lighter) skin and beautiful face”. This tone in sub-saharan
Africa is described as red, that is adon in Hebrew.
26 1 Samuel 17 :42 27 It is the TOB (Traduction Oeucuménique de la Bible) and the ABU (Alliance Biblique Universelle)
28 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
Why did Goliath disdain David? In African tradition, warriors’ selection
counted substantially on their physical aspects. A mere glance of a warrior
was expected to instill awe and intimidation in an enemy. This was still true
centuries later.
By 711 C. E., the Moors disembarked from Africa to conquer the Iberian
Peninsula. The front battalion of General Tarik bin Ziad was composed of
fierce black warriors who terrified the soldiers of the Visigoths who then
ruled Spain.
In David’s time, a warrior with red skin, i. e. lighter, conveyed too feminine
an aspect and would not have been taken as warlike. This is why Goliath
scorned David, who was young, smooth and red.
Back to Isolele : despite the efforts of the usurpers to silence the truth, the
facts remain and speak for themselves. Thus, the mysterious encounter of
Maza (Moses), the first legislator and founder of Isolele, with the Almighty
Lord, took place on the African land.28 It is also on African land, Mount Sinaï,
that God ordered the people of Isolele to leave the African land (Egypt) to go
to another African land (Canaan, which was their transitional promised
land).
To the question “what is Africa?” Ali A. Mazrui29 responds laconically: “It is
what European finally decided it was”. Scholars who have studied this
question in depth, without racial prejudice, are unanimous about it.
28 As we shall see in the chapter on the revelation of the Secret, this information is a pillar in the understanding of the Mystery of Fatima. 29 Let us remember that Israel is situated in Palestine and that Palestine was originally called Canaan and that Canaan, Mitzraim (Egypt) and Kush (ancient Ethiopia) came from the same father, that is Ham, who, according to the Europeans theologians and Bible scholars themselves, are undoubtedly black.
29 The True Third Secret of Fatima Revealed : Chapter III
“The ancient land of Canaan was but an extension of the African land mass.
In biblical times, Africans frequently migrated from the actual continent
passing through Canaan/Palestine to the east, toward what was then
considered Asia, namely the Fertile Crescent” or the Tigris and Euphrates
Rivers of ancient Mesopotamia”.30
“This map shows the ancient connection of the African continent with the
mass of surrounding land of the northeast. Contrary to what occidental
historians taught about this geographic area of the world, students were led
to believe that Havilah (Saudi Arabia), Ethiopia, Assyria (Mesopotamia),
Persia, and Syria were separated and without link within their geographic
and historical context with Africa. Meantime, during the biblical era, they
were firmly connected. People traveled from the depth of Africa going up to
the northeastern part of Africa (Canaan/Palestine) or Israel. No water
barrier existed to separate these two regions. The Suez Canal was built in
the 19th century and only during World War II newscasters or reporters
started referring to north Africa and northeast Africas as the Middle East!
The term Middle East precludes Africa”.31
“Who decided that the Arabic Peninsula was not part of the African
continent? Two different considerable forces played a major role in this
decision. The first is the natural cataclysm that took place almost five
million years ago which created a split valley, snatching off the Arabian
peninsula from its original continent, with the exception of Isthmus of Suez”.
“The second force was that the European powers decided that Africa
stopped at the Red Sea and not at the gulf which separated Arabia and Iran
(Persia)”.32
For all these reasons, Pastor Rudolph R. Windsor demonstrates with
supporting facts that the Bible is basically African. According to him, “just
studying the implication of Negro African nations in the Bible in comparison
with European nations is self-explanatory.”33
You will see, for instance, that the word Rome and its derivatives were
mentioned only in the New Testament, twenty times. Rome is not mentioned
in the Old Testament. The word “Greek” and its derivatives are mentioned
twenty-six times in the New Testament, but only four times in the Old

Testament. This is insignificant compared to the people and Negro African
areas.
The African city of Sidon and the Sidonians, named after the first son of
Canaan (Genesis 10:15), are mentioned seventeen times. Ethiopia is
mentioned forty times. The Africa city of Tyr and its inhabitants are
mentioned more than fifty seven times. African people called Canaanites are
mentioned more than one hundred and fifty three times. The Egyptians are
mentioned more than seven hundred and twenty seven times.
From this perspective, the indication of blacks playing biblical roles is
considerably more probable than by whites. It is a geographical “black sea”.
The proof is so profuse that the truth of the matter could not surprise
rational biblists at all. Thus, nineteenth century English explorer and
missionary David Livingstone, on reaching Africa’s heartland said: “The
features of the Africans he met there reminded him more of those he had
seen in monuments in ancient Assyria”. This statement would not likely have
been supported by the ethnologists and anthropologists of his time, due to
prevailing racism.
The link observed by this English Christian between the regions that gave
birth to the Bible and Africa is confirmed by various independent sources. To
conclude, we will mention only two.
“In Sumer, which is often sold to us as the first civilization, the African roots
of the original inhabitants are indicated in the name they gave to
themselves, i. e. the black heads”. Moreover, the first capital of Sumer was
called Kish, the same radical as Kish in Egyptian, which designated Kush alias
Ethiopia”.34
“To have an idea of the mixed nature of the population in the ancient
orient, we have to diverge entirely from the current notion of race. The
Chaldeans, for example, who inhabited the land where Abraham, the
ancestor of Jews came from, were blacks”, according to Godfrey Higgins and
other researchers”.35
