Distance from Madeira to Portugal

Southport: Dispelling Far-Right Lies and Myths – the Victim – Alice da Silva Aguiar – is NOT White! (9.8.2024)

Translator’s Note: The basic genetic identity of the Madeira population consists primarily of Portuguese, North Africans, Spanish and Canary Islanders. The politics of “race” often obscures the fact that significant amounts of Islamic (Arab) and Sub-Saharan (Black) African DNA is also present in this population. An individual describing themselves as “White” Portuguese or Spanish – may well possess a DNA foot-print that is African or Arabic in origination. This is important as Alice da Silva Aguiar – the 9-year-old victim of the recent murder in Southport (UK) – is often lauded by the British far-right as being “White” – and the stabbings (carried-out by a British-born youth of Rwandan ethnicity) as being a “deliberate” attack on the so-called White race! This is an illogical and non-scientific narrative – as Alice da Silva Aguiar appears to look “Asian” (regardless of her upbringing and cultural proclivities). This far-right mythology is further enhanced by the fact that Alice da Silva Aguiar is often photographed stood next to a Christian cross (as the far-right assumes all “White” people are “Christian”). This far-right propaganda is rhetorically and emotionally powerful – but its force of argument ignores the fact that Alice da Silva Aguiar shared many physical characteristics similar to those shared by the Asian victims of far-right violence!

Madeira is an Autonomous Region (consisting of 8 islands – with only 2 inhabited) situated around 640 miles South-West of Mainland Portugal in the North Atlantic. Madeira – as an archipelago – is also located 250 miles to the North of the Canary Islands and 320 miles West of Morocco. Indeed, as a landmass, Madeira is nearer North Africa than Europe. Portuguese language records state that Islamic (North African) explorers from Mainland Portugal discovered these islands in the 12th century – and even then – the sheep discovered upon them, suggested that Vikings had visited these islands probably around the 10th and 11th centuries. Madeira is routinely mentioned in medieval (Latin) manuscripts throughout the 14th century – with the early 15th century being the time of modern Portuguese settlement. As sugar cane was the main crop cultivated on the islands of Madeira – the Portuguese pursued the Western European habit of enslaving Africans.

Indeed, the family name of “Aguiar” only reinforces the idea that at least throughout her paternal (DNA) lineage – Alice da Silva Aguiar possessed a direct genetic connection with Africa and the Middle East – a fact further dispelling the British far-right notion that this person should be considered “White” in the Hitlerite sense. The surname “Aguiar” – passed on by the father – is a Spanish surname of Galician-Portuguese origin. Its etymology comes from the Latin word “L’Aquillare”, translating to “Haunt of the Eagle”, “Of the Eagle”, or perhaps “Place of the Eagle”, etc. Local names such as these originally denoted the proprietorship of a village or estate. In this regard, many of these Spanish local names reflect Arabic descriptive words or place-names. This is because the Islamic “Moors” (Black Africans and Middle Eastern Arabs) conquered Spain between the 8th – 12th centuries. Even the apparent middle name of “da Silva” seems to denote the migration of the family from Spain into Portugal – as this is also used as a surname amongst the Portuguese. The surname “Da Silva” was first found in the town of “Silva” in the Portuguese province of Valenca do Minho. The name of the town is derived from the Portuguese word “Silva” which means ‘”forest” – and indicating that the area was once heavily forested. The surname “Da Silva” means “Of the Forest” – or “From the Forest”. Of course, this individual’s entire family name could be “Da Silva Aguiar” – meaning the “Forest Haunted by an Eagle”. The Moorish “Eagle” people of Spanish descent had finally settled in the Portuguese “Forest”!

Below, I have translated a number of Portuguese language articles covering the terrible events that happened in Southport! I need not belabour the details of this mass murder – but I wanted to prove that Alice was not British-born – but was a Portuguese National who whose family appears to have migrated to the UK as “EU” citizens either before, during, or after the Brexit Vote of 2016. I could not find exact details covering this situation – but I have proven the general background. The problem has been that numerous Tory governments in the UK did not really want to leave the EU – but had painted themselves into a corner with the offered Referendum. Only a laft-wing Labour government promised to confront EU corruption but the British Establishment – aided by Israel – prevented such an Administration taking power. The EU is destroying Europe as a vehicle for US neo-imperialism. Perhaps if we had been stronger as a people – Alice and the other victims would still be alive – and a fully funded NHS would be helping those that need the help! Rest in Peace Alice – RIP!

A 9-year-old Portuguese girl is among those killed in the attack on a dance centre in Southport, United Kingdom. Alice da Silva Aguiar, whose family is originally from Madeira, did not survive her serious injuries and died in the hospital in the early hours of the morning.

An official source from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed to the CM Journal that little Alice Aguiar has Portuguese nationality, contradicting the information initially conveyed by the British authorities. The same source adds that “the Consul General of Portugal in Manchester is accompanying the family, having already spoken to the parents, and will continue to provide the necessary support.”

She was born on 15 October 2014, she was 9 years old. And, in fact, she is one of the victims of this sad crime. The family lived in Southport. The parents are in a state of shock, we will continue to provide the necessary support, we are in direct contact with the girl’s aunt, the priority is to provide the necessary moral support, then it depends on the circumstances of this family and where they want to hold the funeral”, assured José Cesário in a statement. statements to the NOW channel. 

The information is also being shared by direct family members and friends of the parents, who mourn the girl’s death. It is recalled that two other children lost their lives in Monday’s attack. There are still five minors, and two adults hospitalized in serious condition.

The attack was carried out by a 17-year-old young man, who attacked children, aged between six and ten, who were attending a yoga and dance workshop with the theme ‘Taylor Swift’ at Hope of Hart, a place that operates in an old warehouse. The English police said that the motivation for the attack is unclear, but that the case is not being treated as terrorism.

Uma menina portuguesa de 9 anos está entre as vítimas mortais do ataque a um centro de dança em Southport, no Reino Unido. Alice Aguiar, cuja família é originária da Madeira, não resistiu aos ferimentos graves e morreu já no hospital durante a madrugada.

Fonte oficial do Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros confirmou ao CM que a pequena Alice Aguiar tem nacionalidade portuguesa, contrariando a informação veiculada inicialmente pelas autoridades britânicas. A mesma fonte adianta que “o Cônsul Geral de Portugal em Manchester está acompanhar a família, tendo já falado com os pais, e vai continuar a acompanhar para dar o apoio necessário”. 

O secretário de Estado das Comunidades lamentou, em nome do Governo, a morte trágica da pequena Alice. “Infelizmente trata-se de um criança, filha de pais portugueses, originários da Madeira. Nasceu a 15 outubro 2014, tinha 9 anos. E, de facto, é uma das vítimas deste triste crime. A família vivia em Southport. Os pais estão em estado de choque, vamos continuar a dar o apoio necessário, estamos em contacto direto com uma tia da menina. A prioridade é dar o necessário apoio moral, depois depende das circunstâncias desta família e onde queiram fazer o funeral”, garantiu José Cesário em declarações ao canal NOW. 

A informação também está a ser partilhada por familiares diretos e amigos dos pais, que choram a morte da menina. Recorde-se que outras duas crianças perderam a vida no ataque de segunda-feira. Há ainda mais cinco menores e dois adultos internados em estado grave.

O ataque foi perpetrado por um jovem de 17 anos, que atacou com faca crianças, com idades compreendidas entre seis e os dez anos, que frequentavam um workshop de ioga e dança com o tema ‘Taylor Swift’ no Hope of Hart, local que funciona num antigo armazém. A polícia inglesa adiantou  que a motivação do ataque não é clara, mas que o caso não está a ser tratado como terrorismo.
