How important is intent? If a soldier’s rifle jams and doesn’t kill, does it make any difference to the person it was aimed at? What if it was a member of the 7th Calvary, did it mean he didn’t intend to commit genocide?
Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide(1948) as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part1; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and]forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
By analogy, when a bullet from a different soldier kills after a first soldier fails to kill, some say that negates the fact the first soldier tried to kill, even if the soldier meant to commit genocide. To the contrary, both had the intent to destroy, although just one was successful. Both share the same character. With that in mind, note the tone of the following.
Historian Philip Ranlet of Hunter College and author of a 2000 article on the smallpox blanket incident in Pennsylvania History: A Journal of Mid-Atlantic Studies, also casts doubt. “There is no evidence that the scheme worked,” Ranlet says. “The infection on the blankets was apparently old, so no one could catch smallpox from the blankets. Besides, the Indians just had smallpox—the smallpox that reached Fort Pitt had come from Indians—and anyone susceptible to smallpox had already had it.” The most important indication that the scheme was a bust, Ranlet says, “is that Trent would have bragged in his journal if the scheme had worked. He is silent as to what happened.”

Context is everything. While the above says, There’s also no clear historical verdict on whether the biological attack even worked, it misses the context of the American Holocaust, and it’s dismissive. No clear historical verdict on whether the biological attack even worked, they say. In other words, “They did it, but so what?”
Let’s get this resolved next, because the last sentence of this quote below caused some confusion and resentment in this diary. Even though Andrew Jackson did not, according to evidence, give smallpox infected blankets, he possessed the intent to commit genocide and committed genocide.

(Pages correct in hardcopy)
In 1779, George Washington sent orders to General John Sullivan concerning the need to attack and destroy the Iroquois Nations.
"The immediate objects are total destruction of their settlements, and capture of as many prisoners of every age and sex possible -"
Washington was also an advocate of germ warfare, first introduced by Sir Jeffery Amherst after whom the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, and Amherst College are named. The idea of germ warfare with smallpox was suggested to Colonel Henry Bouquet, after which Colonel Bouquet wrote back:
"I will try to inoculate the [Indians] with some blankets that may fall into their hands, and take care not to get the disease myself. As it is pity to expose good men against then, I wish we could make use of the Spanish method, to hunt them with English dogs, supported by rangers and some light horse, who would, I think, effectually extirpate or remove the vermin."
About 60 years later, Andrew Jackson took Colonel Bouquet's advice in his war against the Seminoles.
The next paragraph in that book begins:
Despite the brutality of the fledging United States government, many Indian nations continue to extend kindness and aid.
And before that paragraph in the book, the author references Papal Bulls, Spanish Requirement, and how The Crown’s consuming need for power was sanctified as the will of God. Therefore, because About 60 years later, Andrew Jackson took Colonel Bouquet's advice in his war against the Seminoles is not a topic sentence of a new paragraph (I think it was indented by typo as part of the above quote in smaller print), that sentence refers to I wish we could make use of the Spanish method, to hunt them with English dogs, supported by rangers and some light horse, who would, I think, effectually extirpate or remove the vermin, as any pronoun would refer to the immediate proper noun before. Neither is it a transitional sentence to the next paragraph; however, it is foreshadowing of what Kaltreider teaches about the genocide Jackson committed after a through search of the book, in which he does not accuse Jackson of using smallpox infected blankets. So it’s Missing the Point to state otherwise.
Furthermore, I wanted to connect with the author on Facebook to ask him myself, but he is deceased. As a side note, reading his book and Michelle Goldberg’s The Rise of Christian Nationalism is what made me want to teach others about the American Holocaust.
Andrew Jackson didn’t use smallpox infected blankets, but he publicly fostered a policy of extermination (Kaltreider p. 83 ebook), committed genocide, and his philosophy inspires white nationalist groups (including Qanon) to make room for the whites today. Let’s hear what David Stannard in American Holocaust teaches about smallpox infected blankets on pgs. 385 — 386.
Smallpox blankets as a method for to exterminating Indians was not as widespread (or as effective) as popularly believed, it was an occasional practice, and as such it marked “a milestone of sorts” in military history, writes Robert O’Connell: “While infected carcasses had long been capitulated into besieged cities, this seems to be a first time in the known weakness in the immunity structure of an adversary population was deliberately exploited with a weapons response.” O’Connell, Of Arms and Men, p.171.
Note a key difference in the above and the former is Smallpox blankets as a method for to exterminating Indians. Continuing.
For an eighteenth-century example of the deliberate use of smallpox as a weapon “to extirpate [the] exorable race” of Indians — an example that killed large numbers of Delaware, Mingo, and Shawnee people — see E. Wagner Stearn and Allen E. Stearn, The Effect of Smallpox on the Destiny of the Amerindian (Boston: Humphries, 1945), pp. 44-45
And finally on pg. 291.
Lopez has noted, this was far from a single-incident comparison. So alike did Indians and wolves appear to even the earliest land-hungry New England colonist that the colonist “fell to dealing with them in similar ways”: He set out poisoned meat for the wolf and gave the Indian blankets infected with smallpox. He raided the wolf’s den to dig out and destroy the pups, and stole the Indian’s children.

The same Andrew Jackson who — after his presidency was over — still was recommending that American troops specifically kill Indian women and children who were in hiding, in order to complete their extermination: to do otherwise, he wrote, was equivalent to pursuing “a wolf in the hamocks without first knowing where her den and pups were.”

We are not “wolves” today, but a cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotting against US president Donald Trump, which is their means to their end: QAnon also commonly asserts that Trump is planning a day of reckoning known as the "Storm", when thousands of members of the cabal will be arrested. And what is the latter the means of?

Andrew Jackson's Speech to Congress on Indian Removal The present policy of the Government is but a continuation of the same progressive change by a milder process. The tribes which occupied the countries now constituting the Eastern States were annihilated or have melted away to make room for the whites.

How important is intent to destroy? If a soldier’s rifle jams and doesn’t kill, does it make any difference to the person it was aimed at, when another soldier kills them? Failed attempts at Civil War do not negate the fact white supremacists want to preserve white, racial hegemony. Or, make room for the whites.
I know of at least one white nationalist son-of-a-bitch who hopes everyone but whites die from the virus. But it’s only circumstantial.
White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller promoted white nationalist literature, pushed racist immigration stories and obsessed over the loss of Confederate symbols after Dylann Roof’s murderous rampage, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch..
