Film & Television Production Columbus - The Untold Story

May 1, 2014, Dallas Texas CMC announces rights deal for Columbus - The Untold Story. 

Notable author Manuel Rosa has agreed to terms with film & television production company CMC for the rights to Rosa’s sensational book, Columbus - The Untold Story. The deal affords CMC the world-wide rights to produce a variety of multimedia products emanating from the book and unveils the works of Manuel Rosa to an English-speaking audience for the first time. 

CMC President John Lage commented; “We have the highest expectations that the American people will be as fascinated with this depiction as they were with the Da Vinci Code. Be prepared. Everything you ever learned about Columbus was legend and fabricated for the European audience of the time because great sums of money and power were involved.” 

James T. McDonough, Jr., a 31-year professor at St. Joseph’s University commented; "Another nutty conspiracy theory! That’s what I first supposed. I now believe that Columbus is guilty of a huge fraud carried out over decades."

THE FRAUD OF COLUMBUS’ HISTORY AND IDENTITY EXPOSED

The Fraud of Columbus' History and Identity Exposed by Manuel Rosa

Audience reaction to the April 11 presentation.


Manuel Rosa's lecture on, "The Fraud of Columbus' History and Identity Exposed" at Duke, was convincing and riveting. He presented many different examples of fraudulent documents that perpetrate the myth of Columbus, and was also able to answer salient and deeply probing questions with the ease and diffidence of the best academic scholars. Maybe he should team up with Dan Brown to publish the next best seller that would take America and the world by storm to get the truth out.

Manuel – clearly you are well read on this controversial topic…

That said, as I sat in on your lecture, I found myself dividing my thoughts into two different mindsets 

1) From the perspective of you, the speaker, explaining your journeys from some obscure picture or story (don’t recall what it was) in 1990s, to the campaign of trial & tribulation experiences you have endured  
2) And from the viewpoint of how so many individual fragments seem to fit together, as you have investigated this potentially falsified historical adventure, over the years

I have always been infatuated by those ‘who done it’ type stories, books & movies and you have presented a very compelling historical narrative, that captured my attention…  I have always viewed the ‘Christopher Columbus’ story like many other ‘Daniel Boone’ or ‘Wyatt Earp’, like stories of some truth / some myth / some legend…  But you have opened my mind to viewing the ‘Columbus’ legend as a ‘who shot President Kennedy’ type story…  My thoughts now turn to:  what a huge plot executed by so many people!  And why?

I enjoyed it – glad I finally got a chance to sit in on one of your lectures and now find myself wanting to learn more about this topic…

Tribute to Dad

(Português aqui) 
Dad, Francisco Garcia da Rosa, passed away on 22 de Abril, 2013, Born at Valverde, Madalena, Pico, Azores in 1922, passed in Boston, USA. 

A man who never had anything in all his life, but who made all efforts possible to give everything to his children. A man who preferred to hurt rather than cause others pain. 
My dad, my friend and my hero. May God permit that I learn to be half the man he was. 

Dad never went to school, yet he managed to learn how to read by learning with my granddad at home. Granddad, Manuel Rosa, was the only person who could read on the village, because as an orphan he was raised by a priest who taught him how to read. 

My dad taught himself how to write in 1967 while interned for almost a year in the hospital for tuberculosis. 
He was a great poet and I have translated one of his poems here:

VERSES IN POOR RHYME

I always feel like saying, when anyone asks me if I know them,

How can I say if I know you, if I don’t even know who I am?

Neither you know who you are, how could I make that mistake?

Are you what you look like, or do you pretend for your own sake?

I also pretend as I say to myself "I must be an honorable man"

But I am all an imagination, not knowing where I end or begin

(We are all from our imaginary plan)

I searched for me inside out, with all possible strictures

Till I thought I knew who I was, but I am nothing like my pictures

Within this suit that I dress, looking in the mirror at the bloke

I feel like saying to myself, "You think you pass for a joke?"

But am I certain that I exist? There I began to meditate

People tell me "Hey I know you," but how could they relate

Since I hardly know who I am, for man is a stranger to himself

They say what I am like, and it seems nothing like myself

Every man is an unknown with age his self-knowledge worsens

All unaware of their deeds, keep thinking, "We are good persons”

How interesting if you filmed two people with a hidden cam

And afterwards you went and showed their film to them

(One’d say "You filmed someone else" the other "that’s not who I am")

We would die laughing, watching those two persons argue

"We are not the persons you filmed, we are good people, like you"

This could very well be done, but only if filmed undercover

Because if they knew, they would make themselves over

The easiest thing is to give advice; the hardest is to truly know yourself

No matter how old, we never know who we are, and advice? Give it to someone else

Francisco Garcia da Rosa -February 1994
(Translated by Manuel Rosa, April 23, 2013)

This 1969 photo was taken when my dad's oldest brother Manuel Rosa, living in San jose, Califronia, since 1924, visited his village in Pico, Azores. The half white half stone house in the back was where I was born in Valverde. The four men on horseback are my uncles, three of my dad's eight siblings. My dad is the one on the right with the straw hat.  I am barefoot next to my dad and two of my six brothers are on either side of us.

I took this photo in 2007 at the same location as above. The home in the photo stands on the same location as the home I was born in. It was rebuilt due to an earthquake in 1998.

June 1962, the only time all the siblings were together (I was 1 year old)

This 1957 photo shows my dad in the back carrying my oldest brother, my mom in the window of our home right behind him. The three ladies are my dad's sisters, note the one in the center has no shoes.

This 1967 photo shows my mom with the 7 kids in front of our home, ranging from 14 to 2 years old.
 I am in the black shirt in the center. This year my dad was interned with tuberculosis in a hospital on the neighboring island where he stayed for 10 months. My mom was left to tend the fields with us, since all we ate, we needed to grow.
