Regarding The Scheduled Racist Film
On Cortez, The Hero of Hitler
Steven Spielberg and Jeff Bezos:
We are Mexica Movement Nican Tlaca Nation, an Indigenous rights educational organization for all Nican Tlaca (Indigenous people) of the “Western Hemisphere”. We focus on teaching the truth of our Pre-1492 and Post-1492 history. We confront white supremacy wherever it is. We have over 20 years of confronting white supremacy (see links at bottom). That is who we are.
Let us get to the point by saying that we know that this scheduled Cortez film, based on the racism, bias, ignorance and white supremacist script from the 1950's will be a genocidal act against our people.
This film will follow in the footsteps of all Hollywood films that took on this subject in the past: it will exclude the history of OUR NICAN TLACA HOLOCAUST, the serial holocausts that happened throughout our continent.
Also, this film will ignore the documented evil and inhumanity that was caused by Spaniards and other Europeans. Europeans who collectively killed 100 million of our people, killing 95% of our population, mainly with the use of smallpox as a biological weapon of mass extermination. This smallpox biological weapon allowed Europeans to steal 100% of our lands and to destroy all of our civilizations. This racist film will whitewash the evil that was Cortez, and minimize what was the beginning of the destruction of our cities and civilizations and the enslavement of our Post-Holocaust remnant Nican Tlaca population.
This Spielberg-Amazon film is another propaganda film that will justify white supremacy, colonialism, and the holocaust of our people throughout our continent.
This film is meant to help justify 500 years of genocide on our people, a film that has no place in the 21st century or even in these times of Trump’s regime of racism, corruption, sociopath mentalities, and immorality.
This Spielberg-Amazon film will exclude the genocidal acts of Cortez: his kidnapping of rulers, extortion for gold and silver, massacres in Cholula of 6,000 unarmed persons; the massacre in Tenochtitlan of an additional 10,000 human lives that were unarmed; his extermination of the civilizations of what is called “Mesoamerica”; and the overall sociopath mentality of Cortez who felt that our lives were wthout rights and were meaningless, that our rights were his for enslavement or extermination.
This white supremacist telling of the story of the evil acts of Cortez as "just adventure” will be self-serving for white supremacy and it will just be another of the millions of acts of genocide on all Nican Tlaca (Indigenous people) of this continent that we have suffered since 1492.
Adding to all of this is the ugly and racist history of Spielberg’s white supremacist film from 2000 called “Road To El Dorado” (link to LA Times article denouncing this racist film:
This is what we are asking for immediately:
1) We demand that Amazon cancel all plans for the production of this film.
2) We insist that Amazon put a public notice of cancellation of Spielberg's racist film Cortez in a press release: Amazon will no longer be involved in the production or distribution, or in any way be involved, in the Steven Spielberg film known as "Cortez".
You need to know that our concern with this film is more than that this is a romantic gloss over the historically documented Spanish-European serial holocausts and their ongoing genocide committed against Nican Tlaca (Indigenous Peoples of Cemanahuac, “North and South America”). THIS FILM WILL BE AN ACT OF GENOCIDE (see Raphael Lemkin definition).
This film would be equivalent to creating a romantic biography of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, which would ignore the Jewish and Roma ("Gypsy") holocaust, and it would be ignoring the 10's of millions of people killed in World War II. This film would also be ignoring the racist, evil, monstrous and genocidal aspects of Adolf Hitler.
Sadly, as we mentioned above, Steven Spielberg should know better than to grab at this project. He has already produced a racist film, a cartoon comedy, on our people called Road To El Dorado, a film that depicts Nican Tlaca as evil savages with virtually no redeemable qualities to speak of. This act alone disqualifies him from ever making a film on our people.
Spielberg has clearly demonstrated a conscious intent to portray Nican Tlaca through ignorant racist stereotypes. Letting Spielberg do a film on our people again is like letting Trump do a film on ethics and morality, or a Trump film on how to tell the truth, or a Trump film on how to live in humility. Spielberg is automatically a person that is not acceptable to us, to do any film project on anything to do Nican Tlaca!
If it is not possible or convenient for Amazon to declare a cancellation of this Cortez film in writing via a press release, we will launch an all-out INTERNATIONAL social media campaign against Spielberg and all of his current and upcoming films and other projects. We will ask for a boycott of Amazon purchases.
Hopefully, a vision of a nightmare MONEY LOSS TO AMAZON will reinforce the idea of canceling this project. We are aware that it’s also possible that white supremacy is more powerful than money, as we are finding with the Trump mentality and its supporters.
These are not idle threats we are making; as you will see in the credentials link below and our Facebook page that we have created for this campaign ( https://www.facebook.com/Spielberg-Racist-Cortez-Film). In the sub-links found there, you will see clippings from our many successful protests. You can read of our campaigns against:
1) Disney for their planned Zapata film starring the Spaniard Antonio Banderas who was scheduled to play Emiliano Zapata, a Nican Tlaca person (this project was cancelled after one year of protests at Disneyland and in Hollywood);
2) Against Eddie Olmos for promoting Spielberg’s racist Road to El Dorado film;
3) Salma Hyeck for her 2002 Frida film in which she hired no Mexicans to play Mexicans (her film was a pariah in Mexico after our protests and articles in newspapers and magazines);
4) Our campaign against Steven Spielberg himself for his white supremacist vision of Road To El Dorado. His film lost money because of our campaign against his film.
5) We were able to stop a planned Ron Howard film on the “Conquistadores” a few years back. He saw our point and stopped his plans for making his film.
We have extensive experience in confronting racism in non-film issues also, like our long successful campaign against Columbus Day in Los Angeles, the campaign against the Sainthood for Junipero Serra, and our protests against police shootings, white supremacists attacking our communities, supporting for the Idle No More campaign, supporting the confrontation of the oil pipeline at Standing Rock, protesting Trump's racism, and we have protested many other acts of white supremacy against Nican Tlaca (Mexicans, “Censtral and South Americans”, and “Native Americans”) over the years.

Steven Spielberg’s Racist Cortez Film at Amazon
Contact: Olin Tezcatlipoca, Director Mexica Movement Nican Tlaca Nation:
We are Mexica Movement Nican Tlaca Nation, an Indigenous rights educational organization for all Nican Tlaca (Indigenous people) of the “Western Hemisphere”.
Steven Spielberg and Amazon are planning a film about Cortez’ “conquest” of Mexico. Spielberg has an ugly and racist history with his white supremacist film from 2000 called “Road To El Dorado” (link to LA Times article denouncing this racist film:http://articles.latimes.com/2000/apr/10/entertainment/ca-18071 ). This is our direct complaint to Spielberg about his racist film http://www.mexica-movement.org/timexihcah/SPIELBERGPAGEtext.htm

This white supremacist telling of the story of the evil acts of Cortez as "just adventure” will be self-serving for white supremacy and it will just be another in the millions of acts of genocide on all Nican Tlaca (Indigenous people) that we have suffered since 1492.
This is what we are asking for immediately:
We insist that Amazon STOP THIS ACT OF GENOCIDE and put a public notice of cancellation of Spielberg's racist film “Cortez” in a press release.
If this film is made, it would be equivalent to creating a romantic biography of Adolf Hitler, which would ignore the Jewish and Roma ("Gypsy") holocaust, and would be ignoring the 10's of millions of people killed in World War II.

FROM THE LOS ANGELES TIMES: Our last successful confrontation with Spielberg:
Road to El Dorado' Has No Respect for History
April 10, 2000|OLIN TEZCATLIPOCA | Olin Tezcatlipoca is director of Mexica Movement, an indigenous rights education organization for people of Mexican and Central American descent
Imagine that you are living a couple of centuries in the future, and you have never heard of World War II or Nazis. Further imagine that you are being shown a movie about the Nazi commandant (portrayed as a happy-go-lucky, romantic guy named Fritz) at a concentration camp. This is a "recreational" Jewish camp where everyone is picnicking and having a great time.
Fritz is constantly looking to get rich off the Jewish campers, and they freely offer him their gold fillings, Swiss savings accounts and other valuables. He meets an evil rabbi who wants the valuables for himself, and a beautiful Jewish girl who offers herself as a sex toy. Without ever mentioning World War II, Nazis or the Holocaust, the film ends with Fritz living happily ever after with the wealth he has acquired from the Jewish people at the camp.
This racist-sexist scenario of lies is the equivalent to what is being done to us, the indigenous people of Mexican and Central American descent, by the new animated film "The Road to El Dorado."
Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks (the producer) and Universal Studios (the distributor) present the story of two Spaniards who stow away to the New World in the 16th century and wind up saving the village of El Dorado from a powerful priest intent on carrying out human sacrifices. This is an outrage, given the reality that the Spanish conquerors were responsible for the genocide of 23 million of our people--killing 95% of our population.
The film makes it look as if we were immoral and evil when it was the Spaniards who were immoral. They stole our gold, labor and land. They raped and culturally castrated our population, enslaving us to their Spanish names, language and interests.
DreamWorks is claiming that the film is a "complete fantasy fairy tale," but the scenario of the concentration camp above would never be accepted as a "complete fantasy fairy tale" by anyone. DreamWorks thinks it is acceptable here because the story is only about indigenous people. They have no respect for our people--no shame!
*
To target this racist-sexist poison to children, who know nothing about this history, should be considered a crime.
"The Road to El Dorado" must be removed from the market before it goes to video, cable and commercial television around the world. Spielberg, shame on you! Universal Studios, stop your distribution of this abomination.
If you don't know this history, read "American Holocaust" by David Stannard, "Stolen Continents" by Ronald Wright and "A Little Matter of Genocide" by Ward Churchill. These are the histories that should be taught in our schools today to ensure that racist films like this are never made again.
