One interpretation of Columbus’ ventures in America says when he could not find Gold Mines like El Dorado he started using slavery as way to justify his commercial purposes and get more investment for further ‘explorations’. Certainly he is central to explosion of slaving and his acts are atrocious by any standards. Jean Lafitte is also a Spanish or Sephardic Jew (an alchemist by many accounts) and involved in slavery. I have done a book focused on Lafitte, Columbus and slavery in my Synarchy series. I have baptismal records and other things related to Lafitte that a modern day man named Patrick Lafitte sent to me. But I cannot say that Lafittes came from Catalan as yet. He did claim to have noble lineage and his esoteric interests do jibe with these Catalan Tartessians who worked with Iberian ventures including Druidic University in Rennes area which was there due to natural pentagram and Earth Energy Grid importance of this most spiritual place. The Borgias are from this same area and they had ‘remote poison’ or tepaphone that Lost Chord technology had created. When you are only people who have Pentagon Dodecahedron knowledge that had allowed Greeks to summarily execute anyone who would share that knowledge then you are a real ‘master’ of men. We need people leading us who are not into such secret knowledge who are willing to share all knowledge that all people can use to help each other.
