Belgian Colonizers and Trump

 

Did your history lessons teach you that Belgian colonizers impregnated thousands of African women and then stole their children? 

Between 1920 and 1960, thousands of Belgian colonizers arrived in the Congo. These men—engineers, officers, civil servants, and laborers—were almost exclusively single and living far from their families back in Europe. Upon arrival, a dark and common pattern emerged: they would take an African woman into their homes under the guise of household labor—to clean, cook, and serve—but also for purposes that were never spoken of aloud. These relationships frequently resulted in pregnancies. Consequently, thousands of African women gave birth to mixed-race children, the offspring of Belgian fathers who refused to acknowledge them. These children were born with skin lighter than their mothers, bearing the physical features of white men who walked past them in the streets, pretending they were strangers.

By 1948, the presence of these children had become a perceived problem for the colonial administration. They were living, breathing proof that the policy of racial segregation was a failure. They stood as undeniable evidence that the "civilized" white men who preached racial superiority were sleeping with the African women they officially deemed inferior. The Belgian state decided to address this issue in the only way it knew how: through force. If the fathers would not claim these children and the State deemed them a social anomaly, the State would simply take them by force. The world watched, or perhaps looked away, as a European country orchestrated the systematic kidnapping of 20,000 children. The question remained: what did they do to these children after tearing them from their mothers? And what became of them when the Congo achieved independence in 1960 and the Belgians evacuated en masse? The answers are rooted in the events of 1948, when the first trucks began to rattle into remote villages, signaling a fate that mothers soon learned was impossible to outrun.

The Congo was a Belgian colony from 1908 to 1960. During those 52 years, Belgium extracted vast quantities of rubber, ivory, minerals, and timber, building national wealth upon the backs of millions of exploited Africans. There were strict, uncompromising rules: white people resided in designated European neighborhoods, while Africans were confined to their own. Interracial relationships were strictly prohibited; miscegenation was officially illegal. Yet, this was merely a paper law. In practice, thousands of Belgian colonizers lived with African concubines, impregnated them, and raised families in secret. By 1940, there were thousands of these mixed-race children, known as métis, scattered throughout the Congo, living in villages with their African mothers. Their Belgian fathers often saw them from a distance but never offered a surname, never registered them as legitimate heirs, and faced no repercussions for their abandonment.

Everything changed in 1948 when the colonial government created a special agency: the Office de Protection des Métis (the Office for the Protection of the Mestizos). Its official mandate was to protect children of mixed origin, provide them with an education, and prepare them to become "useful citizens." The reality, however, was far more sinister. The agency began compiling meticulous lists—recording the children's names, ages, villages of residence, physical descriptions, and the names of the Belgian fathers who had never acknowledged them.

Consider the story of Henri, an engineer who arrived in the Congo in 1943 at the age of 28. His path was identical to thousands of other settlers. Hired by a mining company with the promise of a high salary and a luxurious house, Henri saw the Congo as a safe haven to build a fortune while war tore Europe apart. When he arrived in Leopoldville, the capital, the stark reality of segregation was the first thing he noticed. The white population lived in Kalina, a district characterized by spacious houses with gardens, paved roads, electricity, and running water. The Africans lived in the Cité Indigène, confined to cramped zinc-and-mud shacks on dirt roads that lacked basic sanitation. Between these two worlds lay an invisible line that no one dared cross—or at least, no one admitted to crossing.

Henri was assigned to supervise a copper mine 200 kilometers from the capital. The company provided him with a large, empty house. Living alone, he dealt with his isolation like most other settlers: he hired an African woman to clean, cook, and wash his clothes. This arrangement included the unstated expectation of sexual service. In May 1944, Henri hired a 16-year-old girl named Sala from a nearby village. Her family was in desperate need of money, and working for a white settler offered the highest pay available. Initially, Sala worked only in the household, maintaining a professional distance and responding to Henri’s brief, cold orders. However, as the months passed, the isolation of the large house created an environment where Henri felt empowered to cross the forbidden line.

At 17, Sala had no real choice. Henri was her employer; in this colonial hierarchy, her survival and the financial support of her family depended entirely on him. When he summoned her to his room that night, she complied because refusal meant unemployment and potentially worse. By January 1945, Sala discovered she was pregnant. Henri showed no emotion—no surprise, no anger—simply telling her to continue working as long as possible. In September 1945, she gave birth to a daughter, Monique. The baby was visibly mixed-race, possessing Henri’s eye shape and nose, with skin much lighter than the other children in the village. Anyone who saw them together could deduce the truth, yet Henri never acknowledged the child. Legally, Monique was registered only under her mother's name, with no father recorded. There was no official link between the Belgian engineer and the baby growing up in the African village. Everyone in the mine and the village knew the truth, but it was a secret kept behind a wall of silence.

By 1946, there were thousands of such children across the Congo. They occupied an agonizing middle ground—too light-skinned to be accepted by the African community and too African to be recognized by the colonial society. Monique grew up sensing this divide. Other children stared at her, and village mothers whispered when she passed. Sala did her best to protect her daughter, teaching her the local language, Kikongo, and instilling in her the customs of the village, hoping she would feel part of the community. But resentment persisted; Monique was living proof of the hypocrisy of the white settlers who preached moral superiority while violating their own laws of segregation.

The year 1948 marked a turning point. The colonial government decided that the métis population was a liability. They were tangible evidence that racial segregation was a sham. The administration sought to make them disappear from the public sphere, creating the agency to categorize and remove these children from their mothers under the guise of "protection." Officials were sent to every corner of the Congo with instructions to compile comprehensive lists. By March 1948, they had identified 4,000 children between the ages of two and ten. They chose to start with the youngest—those between two and five years old—believing they would be easier to "mold" and would have less memory of their mothers.

Thousands of children were taken away under the promise of a “better life”… but decades later, their search for the truth uncovered a heartbreaking chapter of history that many never knew existed. Discover their forgotten story:

Sound far fetched or a story from another land? What if I told you Canada has its own Métis population?

Métis children are individuals of mixed Indigenous and European ancestry, primarily in Canada. They are descendants of European fur traders and First Nations women, forming a unique cultural identity.

• The Métis have developed a distinct culture that includes:

• Language: Michif, a blend of French and Cree.

• Traditions: Unique clothing, artwork, music, and dance.

• The Canadian government recognizes the Métis as one of the three Indigenous groups, alongside First Nations and Inuit.

• This recognition was formalized in 2003, acknowledging their unique heritage and rights.

• According to the 2016 census, there are over 587,000 Métis in Canada.

• The Métis homeland includes regions such as Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, British Columbia, and the Northwest Territories.

• The first Métis children emerged in the late 1700s, contributing to a rich cultural tapestry that blends Indigenous and European influences.

• The Métis have faced challenges, including discrimination and the struggle for rights and recognition within Canadian society.

This cultural and historical background highlights the significance of Métis children in the broader context of Canadian Indigenous identity.

Yes, there is the “b” word, and the “c” word, as well as another “b” word used to describe children born out of wedlock. I believe the latter was coined to describe European Christians. But then, again, all three really do. 

Does that upset you? Bothers your fragile immature ego? That is nothing compared to what your ancestors did to mine 

Once I learned I had family, I never stopped looking for them. Once I found them, they slapped me in the face accusing me of tarnishing “their” mother’s memory. We are all responsible for our conception, eh. Perhaps they consider me to be Métis and they feel superior to me. Only they know how petty they be. 

Stay with me now. You know I have aroused your curiosity. 

What is it about people of color that you dislike? Do you not appreciate the advancements they have contributed to that you enjoy today? I really want to understand why you think you are superior to blacks, Native Americans, Jews, Asians, and Latinos. We all benefit from the freedoms and conveniences that result from our collective contributions.

Otherwise, you might have been stuck in a small medieval town in Eastern Europe, speaking a language unfamiliar to you, and begging for scraps from your overlords. Please, learn to give credit where credit is due.

Hollywood was founded because no one would hire Jewish immigrants. Imagine that. The American Dream personified and buried in hate.

 

Jealousy and envy evolve into hate. Why? 

Christian immigrants could have built Hollywood and Vegas but did not, similar to the Arabs who could have created a Palestine to rival Israel but did not. And for that we hate. What does that make us? I am sure nothing to be proud of.

I follow Mansoor Hussain Laghari and these are his words that I am reposting:

THEY DIDN’T JUST KILL PEOPLE. THEY FIRST TAUGHT THE WORLD NOT TO SEE THEM AS HUMAN.

During the Armenian Genocide, Christian Armenian women and children were driven into death marches. They were robbed, stripped, humiliated, starved and left exposed. Their possessions could be sold. Their lives were treated as worthless.

Then came the Holocaust.

The Nazis stole Jewish families’ homes, businesses, jewelry, luggage, clothing and shoes. At the killing centers, possessions were carefully sorted.

Think about that insanity.

A murdered Jew’s shoes had value.

Their coat had value.

Their gold tooth had value.

But the human being did not.

That is the poison of dehumanization.

And this is why I become angry when people tell us to stop talking about history.

NO.

We will talk about it.

We will teach it.

We will confront those who deny it, distort it, minimize it or turn genocide into a political convenience.

Because mass murder does not begin with a gas chamber or a death march. It begins when hatred becomes acceptable. When an entire people become a slur. A conspiracy. A problem to be removed.

I am Muslim. I will remember the Armenian Christians.

I am a Muslim Zionist. I will remember the six million murdered Jews.

And I will NEVER remain silent while another people are dehumanized.

Remember the dead.

And fight like hell for the living.

We agree on so many things, yet we are worlds apart about Israel and Jews. Neither of us being Jews, we can have this conversation. I originally thought our opinions differed because our life experiences and educations differed. We have been exposed to differing news items and first hand witnessing. I believe I have sought out truths and facts opposite to the expertly created propaganda you have been exposed to.

Lately, I am realizing there is also a third group of information consisting of on the ground experiences, lives lived, and first hand knowledge. We both viewed the same information, but came away with opposing perspectives and opinions. I have racked my brain to figure out why and am left with the conclusion that we considered or evaluated such information from alternate angles or positions. Should you have a clearer or more poignant explanation, please expound upon it.

Our responses also are opposing. You name call, berate, and accuse me of supporting genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, the murder of “innocent women and children” without offering proof of even the existence of same, seemingly attempting to engage me in debate. I do not seek debate. My intention is to quote and publish what I believe to be verifiable facts and truths countering conspiracy theories based on hate, bias, racism, and foreign propaganda. My intent is not to convince you of another position, but rather to offer the reader of your one sided theories another viewpoint to consider. Only history can judge if I have been successful.

Trump promised the best military in the world and then nominates a D.U.I. Hire to run it. Here’s what Hogsbreath has done to our military:

Who are the righteous? You believe you have the power and right to decide, but merely deceive yourselves. History will record who the righteous are, not you. You will be judged by your words and deeds, that is what you have control over. As you gaze into the mirror, are you proud of yours? Me, I am satisfied that I have only sought out facts and truths while calling out conspiracy theories and unadulterated propaganda. My opinions do not matter as the facts and truths present their own case.  

Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me!"

Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?"

The King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."

Then he will say to those on his left, "Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me."

They also will answer, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?"

He will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me."

Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.

Finally, a scientific breakdown. Leah of The Leah Files Substack built a 100 point corruption model and found Trump’s second administration in historically uncharted territory.

Leah began with the offenses identified by the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, then built eight weighted categories covering personal enrichment, bribery, disabled oversight, obstruction, nepotism, pressure on journalists, election manipulation and self-protective pardons.

She applied that same 100 point model to every president since Eisenhower and rulers including Ferdinand Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu Sese Seko, Sani Abacha, Teodoro Obiang and Vladimir Putin. Exonerations were counted alongside convictions.

The results were staggering.

Nixon received 41 points. 

Trump’s first term received 53. 

According to Leah’s analysis, his second administration has already reached 76 after only 20 months, with scores of five or higher in every category.

Trump’s highest marks came from personal enrichment, dismantling corruption enforcement and granting pardons that protect allies or erase penalties. 

Leah cited Trump’s financial disclosure reporting more than $2 billion in 2025 income, much of it connected to cryptocurrency ventures bearing his name. She also documented roughly 1,600 clemency grants, about $1.7 billion in erased restitution, fines and forfeitures, and the shrinking of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section from approximately 36 attorneys to two.

If the administration continues at its documented pace, Leah’s model projects a final score of 91 by January 2029. That would place Trump level with Suharto, Mobutu and Obiang, while ranking above Marcos, Abacha, Duvalier and Putin within her model.

Her separate family analysis produces another extraordinary result: the Trump family already exceeds the Marcos family, with foreign money, family businesses, government appointments and relatives’ financial interests included.

Leah: “At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.”

Thank you, Leah, for doing the work the mainstream media will not. Everyone should checkout her Substack for the full story, and spread the word.
