Who is it really Colon, Columbus or Zarco?

 

[Well known, Uruguayan Goan Industrialist and writer Alfredo de Mello clearly disputes that  Christopher Columbus was Italian in origin or that he truly intended to travel to India to look for spices.

Isn't it possible that Portugal through its agent Salvador Fernandes  Zarco(a Portuguese Jew)  aka Cristobal Colon aka Christopher Columbus, intentionally led the Spaniards West instead of East ?

Interesting isn't it?

The Portuguese had already rounded the Cape of Good Hope, before "Columbus" had taken off to India via the Western route. The Route from the east coast of Africa to India was well known to sea-farers in that region. And yet, "Columbus" took off in the opposite direction!

There is one other point of interest: There are no Italian names for any of the Islands in the Caribbean, but there are Portuguese names. 

More about this controversy early in 2001 but for now....this from Alfredo de Mello

On the left hand side is the MONOGRAM and on the right side the SIGLUM, or cabbalistic signature used by Cristobal Colon. He never signed in any other way. The monogram contains the letters S, F. & Z, which are his real initials: Salvador Fernandes Zarco.
 
 The seven capital letters, with its dots, are full of cabbalistic significance. Let us note that the letter (X) means CROSSING, therefore "son of", and since 2000 years ago the letter J did not exist in the Roman alphabet, and the Greek letter Y ( Ypsilon) was used as the initial of the name Joseph.

 

Thus the upper part of the Siglum, which is a salutation to Christ, the reading should be as follows:

 

                                                                  Sanctus 
                                         Sanctus           Altissimus             Sanctus 
 
                                          son of                  Mary      &         Joseph.
 
XpoferenS  with a line above the O, which is a punctuation in Greek called "macron" , which means that the principal accent of  must be on the O.
 
It is notorious that the Christians commonly call Christ, the Saviour  ( Salvador). But let us note that the letter Xpo are in small letters. Why ? Because the name Salvador is the name of a person and does not substitute Christ-God, as otherwise the letters would be in capital letters. In this case, with the Greek accent "macron", the first three letters must be read as Cristó, with the accent on the O.
 
fERENS   is easy to decipher: it is the abbreviation of the name Fernandes in Portuguese. Now we have two names: Salvador Fernandes, contained in the siglum XpoferenS.  It is also the Latin for "bearer of". It is not for nothing that Colon chose the first name of Cristóval, ( Christopher ), "he who bears Christ". Saint Christopher was the saint who lifted Jesus across the river Jordan. This saint has always been the patron saint of the voyagers.
 
But where  in this siglum  is the surname ZARCO ?
Let us have a close look at the S of fERENS.  The S is different and very singular , as it has a tail turned upwards. This is the inverted Hebrew letter called LAMED. We know that Lamed is the 12th letter of the Hebrew alphabet. This letter when it is in its normal position, or vertical, has the same meaning as the Greek word COLON,  (member, parts, phallus).

But there is a rule in the Hebrew alphabet that says when a letter is inverted, the meaning is the following: "IT LOOKS LIKE IT, BUT IT ISN'T. IT IS THE OTHER". 

 

There is more to it:: -     the signs colon or semicolon correspond to the diacritical sign tilde in the Hebrew alphabet which is called Zarqo or Zarco.
But Lamed is inverted !?  Why is the surname Zarco ?
Because the colon (semi-colon)  - dot and bar which follows the inverted Lamed must not be read as colon. It has another meaning which is indicated by the inverted Lamed, wishing to say ZARCO
 
Now, the word  XpofERENS is preceded by two dots ( colon), and ends with a dot and a dash ( semi-colon). Let us analyse the siglum: the two dots are a PUNCTUATION sign in Greek, as well as in other European languages. These two dots signify "colon" which in Greek means member or phallus. We use a colon in punctuation, it divides or separates the phrase into parts or members. Five hundred years ago, the two dots, and the dot and comma, were  both called COLON ( one was perfect and the other imperfect). In the same way that nowadays ( in Spanish) an inverted question mark is used at the beginning of a question, in those times, one used the perfect colon (:) as a mute part, and the phrase ended with the imperfect colon (dot
and comma)..
 
In other words, XpofERENS  is to be read as Cristóbal, and the final dot-and dash as Colon."
 
The conclusion is that the siglum contains two secret names: Cristóval Colon, his "nom de plume", and Salvador Fernandes Zarco, his real name."
