Yapti Tasbia - The Miskitu Motherland

By Josephenie Hendy Hebbert Twaska

"Yapti Tasbia - The Miskitu Motherland" was written by the Matriarch of the Miskitu nation reflecting on her nation's Manifest Destiny of the Miskitu Kingdom to rise up and once again be a nation among nations by restoration of the legal government, their territorial boundaries, and national sovereignty.

The book records the Miskitu people who have endured degrading conditions of life, genocide, enslavement and poverty since 1894.


Throughout their history, from the first Miskitu kingdom contact with the Spanish and British, the author details how each nation's own interests circumvented the rights of the Miskitu nation to be a nation among nations, after the Miskitu nation replaced the Church of England with the Moravian Church as their established religion.

This book reveals both the obstacles as well as the United Nations international referendum process of decolonization to free the Miskitu Coast and restore its right to exist.

Preface

Josephenie Hendy Hebbert Twaska (Rev. Josephenie Robertson M.T.T.), the Matriarch of the Miskitu[1] nation has written this book as a guide to her People in their struggle and Manifest Destiny to regain their status as a sovereign nation as we were before 1492.

By presenting her beliefs in this book, on the state of affairs and sovereignty of the inhabitants of the Miskitu nation, she emphasizes to her people that their nation has declared this demand and maintained their rights as a nation among nations throughout Miskitu history. And, that they exist and continue to exist and the author prays for Divine intervention through the Holy Scriptures.[2]

Her goal of educating and uniting the Miskitu people together in this endeavor today, so too, can the Miskitu community through the use of the international Referendum or Plebiscite decolonization process; finally secure and attain sovereignty, under restoration conditions of the original territorial boundaries and the original legitimate Constitutional monarchy.

From this beginning, with the restoration of the Miskitu Constitutional Monarchy in place, as the legitimate government and overseer of the people’s rights of a democratic republic where the Miskitu people may ordain the laws they live together by with their direct individual votes.

Chapter 1

Miskitu Secular Christian Values of Government

Worldwide, few individuals realize that Yahshua (Jesus Christ) established a worldwide Christian civilization of secular government by separating church and state as well as freedom of religion and thought as some of the principles of Christian values that established new secular governments by men.

A person only needs to review the simple teachings of Yahshua (Jesus Christ) to establish his domain of secular government versus a religious government. The synoptic gospels of the Holy Bible attribute the phrase, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. Please see Holy Scriptures Saint Matthew Chapter 22 verse 21 for verification.

Caesar was the king of the human kingdom of Rome and God’s kingdom was spiritual of another world. Although there may very well be multiple possible interpretations about the circumstances under which it is desirable for Christians to submit to earthly authority, the natural conclusion of Jesus’ remark is self-evident. 

The cornerstone that Yahshua (Jesus Christ) provided as mankind’s guide for freedom of thought and religion also comes from the synoptic gospels of the Holy Bible. This precept is established between the times that Yahshua (Jesus Christ) had appointed 12 apostles and then appointed 70 more  men, whom he sent out before Him to preach in the cities that Yahshua was about to visit.

The twelve apostles came back a short time later and reported to Yahshua that they had witnessed a man who was not an appointed apostle but was preaching in His name and the apostles told the man to stop preaching. Yahshua (Jesus Christ) replied and said unto his apostles, Forbid him not; for he that is not against us is for us. May I invite you to review the Holy Scriptures of Saint Luke in Chapter 9 verse 50 and Saint Mark in Chapter 9 verse 39 for verification as to why and how the colonist nations thought when they colonized the New World and how their historical endeavors affected the Miskitu nation.

Yahshua knew that he had a following of people outside of his chosen apostles that were preaching his teachings. Therefore he already knew there would be diversity among men’s interpretation of the word of God outside of what was to become the Catholic Church.

If one were to read the teachings of Yahshua (Jesus Christ) they would read that the qualifications required to be a bishop as noted in the Holy Scriptures is detailed by Saint Paul to Timothy in the First Epistle when he said as memorialized in Timothy Chapter 3 verse 2, A bishop must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach. This very verse brought rise later in European history to the Moravian Church which arguably became the first of many Protestant churches. The Moravian Church as well as other protestant interpretations and teachings believe priests may marry versus the Catholic Church’s position of celibacy.

Islam had created a fanatical Christian reprisal and response after 1492 when Spain had prevailed in the Re-Conquest of Europe by forcing the Muslims out of Spain. This was Islam’s last stronghold in Europe. The King and Queen of Spain as well as the King of Portugal were of the Catholic faith and afforded church intervention into the government affairs of their respective kingdoms in a similar manner that Islam combines faith and government.

In the Muslim Conquest of Europe, Islamic warriors had many times shown no mercy on the Christian faith and values where men were stripped naked and of all of their worldly possessions seized and then the men were beheaded. The Christian wives and female children were enslaved into the harems, while the young none pubic boys were trained to fight for Islam and kill Christians or meet the fate of being a eunuch. Some Christians were mercifully forced to convert to Islam or die or be compelled to accept Islam and marry a Muslim.

In 1492, the very year Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus) set sail and discovered the Americas, Spain as the victor responded fanatically in the Re-Conquest of Europe by implementing the Inquisition which compelled forced conversion to the Catholic faith, mass population transfers of Muslims to North Africa or death. Spain did show mercy by affording an Islamic Captain Barbarossa to bring a Muslim naval fleet to save the defeated Muslims and transfer them safely to North Africa. Those Muslims remaining in Spain were compelled to convert to Catholicism.

Because of the extreme fear that Islam had imposed on Europe, the Spanish Inquisition, an extremely fanatical ideology came to the New World with these new explorers from Spain and Portugal.

Simultaneously, in 1492 for Spain with the re-conquest of Europe and now commissioning explorers on their behalf, had met with and commissioned Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus) an Admiral of the ocean seas, afforded him to be the governor of any discovered lands, and financed his quest for an exploratory voyage to the Atlantic Ocean. 

In return Cristóbal Colón vowed to spread the faith of Christianity to the people of the lands he discovered, as well as return to Spain with spices, gold, and silver.

There was no European concept, recognition, or respect of the New World already being governed by their own existing legitimate governments, whether it be by kings, rulers or otherwise.

The Tordesillas Treaty

In 1493, Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus) returned to Spain and told his stories about his encounters on the voyage to the New World to both the Spanish monarchy and to Pope Alexander VI. The Pope realizing the need to divide this New World lands between Spain and Portugal issued his Papal Decree. Portugal did not approve of the division and requested the Pope to afford negotiations of the Papal Decree for the demarcation of the world division. On June 7th, 1494 based of mutual agreement between Spain and Portugal, signed a treaty, which is known as The Treaty of Tordesillas to avoid any unwanted confusion on New World land claims.

The treaty was signed as an agreement between the Spanish and the Portuguese monarchs. The Treaty was signed to avoid the unwanted confusion between Spain and the Portugal on the claim of the land in the New World.

The Catholic Church under Pope Julius II officially recognized the treaty in 1506. Both Portugal and Spain have respected the terms and conditions of the Treaty. 

Effect on other European powers

The treaty was historically important in dividing Central and South America for colonization, as well as establishing Spain in the western Pacific until 1898. However, this Treaty quickly and literally became obsolete in North America and later in Asia and Africa, with respect to European colonization. The Treaty was ignored by the other European nations who didn’t accept the authority of the Pope such as Great Britain and France.

The attitude of other governments towards the treaty was expressed in a statement attributed to France's King Francis I, who ruled France from 1515 to 1547 when he stated, "The sun shines on me just the same as on the other; and I should like to see the clause in Adam's will that cuts me out of my share in the New World!

The Treaty of Tordesillas however revealed that Europeans had a low view of non-Europeans and considered their land to be free for the taking.

In the absence of formal and binding avenues of arbitration in early-modern Europe, however, the English and other European colonizing powers that separated the church and state but were based on Christian values turned to the only method that was available in dealing with church-state governments, and that was negotiation.

Treaty of Madrid

The British’s first aim and beliefs for colonization efforts in the New World was free trade and commerce that allowed uninhibited activity versus Spain’s colonization of the New World to compel the Christian religion and dominion over the newly conquered lands.

The negotiations between Britain and other European nations were not easily enforceable, except through a vicious circle of braking off diplomatic relations, imposing trade embargoes, gaining allies and declaring war, and subsequent bouts of negotiation. In arenas as important as the New World, with all of its known and unknown possibilities for exploration, exploitation, and enrichment, negotiation did not always prove sufficiently powerful to solve disputes over sovereignty and possession. But, these negotiations proved essential in bringing about acquiescence and recognition for the English empire in America when disputes arose.

Contrary to Spanish claims to Central and South America granted by the Catholic Pope, the British founded the Providence Island Company, which was an English chartered company founded in 1629 in order to establish the Providence Island colony on Providence Island, in the Miskitu kingdom.

Regardless of the law of enforceable legal remedies and the continued discomfort that France, Portugal and Spain felt toward English settlement, trade, and competition in the New World after 1640, it is important to remember that these powers begrudgingly reconciled themselves to the fact that England had established imperium and dominium over those portions of North America and the West Indies where they could show precedents of discover or prescription, followed by actual settlement and continued, effective, sovereign occupation.

From 1618 to 1648 in what was called the "Thirty Years’ War involving more of the European nations was a religious war between the Protestants and Catholics. A major consequence of the Thirty Years' War was the devastation of entire regions, denuded by the foraging armies, famine, disease, and most of the nations at war went bankrupt.  It was one of the longest and most destructive conflicts in European history, as well as one of the longest continuous wars in modern history.

The Peace of Westphalia was a series of peace treaties that ended the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) in the Holy Roman Empire, and the Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) between Spain and the Dutch Republic, with Spain formally recognizing the independence of the Dutch Republic. The treaties afforded peace and respect for the protestant secular Christian value governments that separated religion from the government and Christian church-state governments such as Spain and France that did not separate this issue.

These peace treaty precedents that encouraged the Portuguese crown to recognize English plantations in American and the West Indies in the Treaty of Westminster (1654). Spain, whose empire in the New World had begun its decline by the 1640’s, accepted non-Iberian claims in the Treaty of Munster (1648) and, specifically English claims in the Treaty of Madrid in 1667 (1670).

In the Treaty of Madrid, (also known as the Godolphin Treaty) which was a treaty between Britain and Spain, Spain recognized those lands in the actual possession of the English King in the West Indies and America, and explicitly provided for free trade and commerce in all dominions. The several treaties of Utrecht (1713), in addition to ending the War of Spanish Succession and awarding the British the famous asiento saw France and Spain finally relinquish all exclusive claims to the New World on the basis of the Papal Decree, the Treaty of Tordesillas, or simply of being Catholic and carrying out conquest and conversion, recognizing instead that the legal foundations of empire and the right to hold imperium and dominium could be justified based on imperial government and effective settlement of territory.  To be sure these negotiations did not solve the problems of European competition in the New World.  A more complete name of the treaty is: "A treaty for the composing of differences, restraining of depredations and establishing of peace in America; between the crowns of Great Britain and Spain; concluded at Madrid
