Obama neglected to mention the Northwestern African ... aka the Trans-Sahara & Maghreb ... Slave Trading Enterprises
In the Catholic World, Slavery was banned in FOUR SPECIFIC RULINGS AND/OR DOCUMENTS.
Three individual popes issued documents condemning slavery, attaching to the transgressors loss of all privileges in and from Europe, as well as the Catholic Church. Then, in 1542, Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, banned slavery in the New World, to the point of declaring all indigenous People of the Americas as FREE PERSONS.
Then came Pope Gregory XIV he issued a Papal Bull ... which is to be understood as a Papal Bulletin and which had the effect of an encyclical. Sometimes a law was attached. In as much, in 1591, by the force of law invested in Gregory XIV, the slaves of the Philippines freed.
In 1526, Clement VII condemned slavery in a formal Papal Bull (Bulletin). Then, in 1541, Pope Paul III also condemned the enslavement of the indigenous people of the American. Next came Emperor Charles V banning slavery in the Americas, with the power invested in him as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
Sixtus V, in 1588, also condemned the enslavement of indigenous people in the Americas. This was followed by Gregory XIV freeing on paper ... and in canonical law ... the indigenous people of the Philippines.
Of course, there were no Swiss Guard Troops in the Philippines and in the Americas to enforce papal bulletins and decrees. Yet, there was the matter of depriving the transgressors of all Catholic, all Spanish, and all Holy Roman Imperial privileges.
As a note for 2025/2026, the nation with the largest population of Roman Catholics in the world is the Philippines.
Just like the future NUREMBERG DEFENDANTS in the '40s
As an historic review, there were actually 13 distinct Nuremberg Trials. As one of many results, a major Nazi propagandist was one of the defendants who ended up being put to death for his newspaper which did little more than incite murder and massive theft.
In as much, people in the present-day mainstream media need to study that specific part of the trials, as well as studying the Tokyo Rose Trial. You Race Warmongers and defamers of heads of state out there are NOT immune to your mouths and your typewritten articles. This includes you editors, campaign managers, and CEO's of network TV. Most importantly is the long-term observation that HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.
