Chapter 2: Murder by Decree: The Crime of Genocide in Canada A Counter Report to the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”

 

national railway, along with massive European immigration onto western Indian lands.

1870: The British Crown through the Canadian Parliament establishes a “clergy reserve” system granting huge swaths of stolen indigenous land to any Anglican or Catholic missionary who settles on such land, usually near to the advancing Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR).

1873: The Royal Northwest Mounted Police, forerunner of the RCMP, is established as a para-military force with absolute jurisdiction across Canada. Its mandate includes forcibly removing all Indians from within fifty miles of the CPR and incarcerating them on impoverished “reservations”.

1876: CPR lawyer and Prime Minister John A. MacDonald proclaims through Order in Council the Indian Act, which reduces all Indians and Metis people to the status of non-citizens and “legal wards of the state in perpetuity”. Henceforth, no Indian can vote, sue in court, own land or enjoy any civil or legal rights. This “legal ward” status of all reservation Indians continues to the present day in Canada.

1886: Following the crushing of the Second Metis Rebellion the CPR is completed, linking the west and east coasts. The same year, all west coast aboriginal ceremonies like the Potlatch are outlawed and hundreds of traditional native leaders are murdered or jailed.

1889: The Indian residential school system is launched along with the federal Department of Indian Affairs (DIA), which sponsors the “schools” in partnership with the Roman Catholic, Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian churches (the latter two will form the United Church of Canada in 1925.) In Alberta, the death rate in such “schools” exceeds 40% in the very first year they open, compared to a mortality of barely 5% on the reservations from which the children are taken.

1891: The first official report that documents massive deaths in the residential schools is issued to the DIA by Dr. George Orton, who claims that the cause is rampant tuberculosis among children that is being “encouraged by school staff”. Orton's report is ignored by the DIA.

1903: The flood of reports of an enormous death rate in the western residential schools provokes the DIA to cease publishing “total spectrum” death reports among children, meaning that many such deaths will now be officially censored by the government.

16

1905: Indians in western Canada has been depopulated to less than 5% of their original number. Over 100 residential schools are in operation, two thirds of them run by the Roman Catholics.

1907: DIA medical officer Dr. Peter Bryce conducts a tour of all western residential schools and issues a damning report that claims “conditions are being deliberately created to spread infectious disease.” Bryce documents that an average 40% to 60% of school children are dying because of a “routine practice” of housing the sick with the healthy, and denying them all medical treatment. He claims that the staff is deliberately hiding the evidence of this genocidal practice.

November 15, 1907: The Ottawa Citizen and Montreal Gazette newspapers quote Dr. Bryce's report under the headline “Schools aid white plague – Startling Death Rolls Revealed”. (Figures 1 and 2) Despite this, Bryce is silenced by DIA Deputy Superintendent Duncan Campbell Scott and his report is ignored.

November 1909: After conducting further investigations that confirm the murderous practices by residential school staff, Dr. Peter Bryce calls for the churches to be removed from operating the residential schools. Bryce is then fired from his position by Scott and banned from the civil service, although in 1920 he will publish his account in his book “A National Crime”. (See Appendix Three)

November 1910: Despite Bryce's findings, Duncan Campbell Scott of the DIA institutionalizes church control over the schools through a joint contract with the Catholic and Protestant churches. This contract provides government funding and “protection” for the schools, including the use of the RCMP to incarcerate and hunt down Indian children. In return, the churches have complete day to day control of the schools and hire and fire their Principals and staff. (See Appendix Eight for a copy of this Contract and Figure 3 for a later description of the church’s control over the schools) (1)

1910: Later government records reveal that during the first decade of the 20th century, the net population of Indians in Canada declined by over 20%, an unprecedented level “not explained by any demographic or environmental factors.” (Figure 4, Statistics Canada, Comparative Population Levels in Canada, 1900-1970). The use of residential schools as a breeding ground for infectious disease that is then disseminated through native communities is one factor in this depopulation.

17

February 1919: Despite the continuing high death rates and murderous conditions in the residential schools, Duncan Campbell Scott abolishes all medical inspection in them and prohibits further studies of health conditions in the schools. Within a year, the death rates in western native communities will nearly triple. (Figure 5) This mortality is also caused by a routine practice of sending sick children home to infect their families with smallpox and tuberculosis. (Figure 6) (2)

June 8, 1920: Prime Minister Arthur Meighen states in Parliament that no provision for the health of Indians was ever included in the federal Health Act or Department. “It was purposely left out of the Act.” (Figure 7)

July 1, 1920: Incarceration in the residential schools is made mandatory under a federal law passed through Order in Council. Every Indian child seven years and older must attend a school or its parents will go to jail. (Figure 8)

July 19, 1924: A state church is created by an Act of Parliament – the United Church of Canada – to “Canadianize and Christianize the foreign born and the heathens.” This foundational genocidal purpose is affirmed not only through the church’s operation of residential schools and Indian hospitals where Indian children die en masse, but in their foundational policy statements concerning their aim to “dispossess” aboriginals of their traditions. (Figure 9)

May 1925: Provincial laws in British Columbia and Alberta – where most “unassimilated” Indians are concentrated – strips aboriginal people of the right to consult or hire a lawyer, or even represent themselves in a court of law. Neither is any lawyer allowed to take on an aboriginal client.

1929-1933: Sexual Sterilization laws are passed in both provinces' legislatures, allowing any inmate of an Indian residential school to be involuntarily sterilized at the decision of the school Principal, a church employee. Thousands of children and adults are sexually neutered by these laws.

1929-1933: The Canadian government relinquishes its traditional legal guardianship over Indian children and grants such power to the residential school Principal, a church employee. (See Figure 10, the Application for Admission form)

18

February 1934: An attempt by the government to abolish residential schools is thwarted because of massive pressure and threats brought by all the churches running the schools.

October 1935: A genocidal “two standards of health care” system in residential schools is confirmed by Dr. C. Pitts in a letter that states “... were I to apply the standards of health to them (Indians) that is applied to children of the white schools, that (sic) I should have to discharge 90% of them and there would be no school left.” Pitts is referring to the Lejac Catholic School in northern British Columbia, and admits that a lower standard of health care is applied to them. (Figure 11)

1937-38: School records confirm that children infected with tuberculosis are admitted to west coast Indian schools, and officials refer to the fact that the Indian Affairs department “will not hospitalize Indians suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis.” (Figures 12, 13 and 14)

January 1939: Cowichan Indian children are widely used in medical experiments conducted by “German speaking doctors” at the Catholic Kuper Island School in British Columbia. Many of them die, according to two survivors, but the RCMP suppresses inquiries by local police.

1940-45: Under the cover of war, involuntary experimental research is commenced on many residential school children by the Defense Research Board (DRB) in Ottawa. The research includes drug testing, deliberate starvation, behavior modification, pain threshold studies, chemical weapons testing and sterilizing methods. These tests are conducted in the schools, at military bases, and at special laboratories and Indian hospitals run jointly with the United, Anglican and Catholic churches, and will continue for decades. (Figure 15) (3)

1946-8: Hundreds of Nazi SS doctors and researchers are granted citizenship in Canada under the joint British-American “Project Paperclip”, and work under cover identities and military supervision in the aforementioned experimental programs. (4)

1947: Canadian U.N. diplomat and future Prime Minister Lester Pearson helps to redefine genocide in the proposed United Nations Convention in order to make it inapplicable to Canadian Indian residential schools. Enabling legislation to allow its application in Canada is blocked in Parliament.

19

1958: The government again attempts to close residential schools and meets hostile resistance and threats of political action by all three churches operating the schools. The plan is dropped.

1960: Revisions to the Revised Statues of British Columbia legally define an aboriginal as “an uncivilized person, destitute of the knowledge of God and of any fixed and clear belief in religion or in a future state of rewards and punishments” (Figure 16)

1962: A government plan later entitled the “Sixties Scoop” covertly begins to privatize residential schools by transferring huge numbers of Indian children into non-aboriginal homes through state- subsidized foster agencies. Thousands of children have their identity and family life destroyed in this manner without setting foot in a residential school.

1965: Government document destruction teams obliterate countless residential school records related to the identity and deaths of students, in anticipation of the phasing out of the schools.

1969: Indian Affairs minister and future Prime Minister Jean Chretien affirms an “assimilationist” policy of legally exterminating native nations in a federal “White Paper” introduced in Parliament.

1970: Native protests against the White Paper, including the seizure and occupation of Bluequills residential school in Alberta by aboriginal parents, forces the government to begin the process of turning over residential schools to the control of local tribal councils.

1972: The government destroys thousands of Indian Affairs records including personnel files with information on residential school history and aboriginal land deeds, making the verification of school crimes and native land claims impossible. (Figure 17)

1975: A majority of residential schools formerly run by the churches are now either closed or under the management of local Indian band councils. Nevertheless, many of the same crimes and tortures against children continue, often at the hands of aboriginal staff members.

1982: The Government funds and establishes the puppet aboriginal organization known as the

20

“Assembly of First Nations” (AFN), consisting of 600 self-appointed state funded tribal “chiefs”. The AFN claims to “represent” all aboriginals in Canada, but it refuses all calls for indigenous sovereignty or to investigate the residential schools genocide.

October 1989: Nora Bernard, an east coast native survivor of the Shubenacadie Catholic residential school, commences the first lawsuit against both the church and the government for harm she suffered. Nora refers to “our genocide”. She will be murdered in December, 2007 just prior to the launching of the government cover up known as the “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” (TRC).

October 1990: AFN head and government employee “Chief” Phil Fontaine, in response to the Nora Bernard residential school lawsuit, speaks publicly of “abuses” in the schools and establishes a benign, AFN monopoly over the issue that never mentions the death of children or genocide.

March 1994: In Port Alberni, the killing of children in the local United Church residential school is addressed by Rev. Kevin Annett and native survivors from his pulpit. Annett is told by church officers to refrain from addressing the issue and is threatened with firing.

January 23, 1995: Kevin Annett is fired without cause after reporting more stories of residential school killings and of the theft of west coast native land by his United Church employer and its business partner the logging company MacMillan-Bloedel. His unusual firing is addressed by a Vancouver Sun columnist that summer, as MacMillan-Bloedel issues a payoff to the United Church in Port Alberni. (Figures 18a and 18b)

December 13, 1995: The first account of the murder of a residential school child, Maisie Shaw, is made by eyewitness Harriett Nahanee at a rally held by fired United Church minister Kevin Annett, and is reported by the Vancouver Sun newspaper. (Figure 19, “Murders alleged at residential school” by Stewart Bell, Vancouver Sun, December 13, 1995) A week later, a second such murder, of a boy named Albert Gray, is reported by eyewitness Archie Frank, and is again reported by the Sun. (Figure 20, “Beaten to death for theft of a prune” by Mark Hume, Vancouver Sun, December 20, 1995) Both eyewitnesses claim the killer was Principal Alfred Caldwell. The RCMP refuses to investigate.

February 1, 1996: The first class action lawsuit by residential school survivors in Canada opens in the

21

British Columbia Supreme Court, brought by fifteen former students at the Alberni School against the United Church and government. Kevin Annett is an adviser to the plaintiffs. (Figure 21)

February 3, 1996: The United Church begins closed, internal disciplinary proceedings against Kevin Annett to permanently expel him from the ministry, which will occur the next year at a cost to the church of over $250,000. Annett will never be charged by the church with any wrongdoing. The Church also secretly pays Annett's former wife Anne McNamee to divorce him and with the collusion of provincial court judges rob him of his two children. (Figure 22) (5)

1997-1998: Other Canadian newspapers begin to report eyewitness allegations of killings in residential schools, including those gathered in healing circles convened by Kevin Annett and Harriet Nahanee. (Figures 23 and 24)

February 9, 1998: At a public rally of over 600 people in Vancouver, many of them aboriginal, the Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada (TCGC) is established as an independent, open inquiry into residential school crimes. Kevin Annett is elected as its General Secretary. (Figure 25)

June 6, 1998: Justice Donald Brenner of the British Columbia Supreme Court rules that the United Church and government of Canada are equally liable for damages to inmates in residential schools, opening the door to thousands of subsequent lawsuits by survivors against all three churches.

June 12-14, 1998: The first independent inquiry into residential school crimes is convened in Vancouver by the United Nations affiliate IHRAAM, upon the invitation of TCGC leaders Harriett Nahanee and Kevin Annett. The inquiry hears from twenty eight eyewitnesses to these crimes and concludes that “every act defined as genocide under international law occurred in Canadian Indian residential schools”. None of the church and government officials subpoenaed by IHRAAM respond to or refute this claim. IHRAAM recommends to United Nations High Commissioner Mary Robinson that an international tribunal be held into these crimes, but Robinson never replies. (Figures 26, 27, 28 and 29) (6)

June 20, 1998: The Globe and Mail is the only media in Canada to report the IHRAAM hearings. (Figure 30)

22

Autumn 1998: A public smear and misinformation campaign is mounted for the first time against Kevin Annett and the TCGC. IHRAAM silences the inquiry participants and buries their reports.

October 27, 1998: The Province newspaper reports an admission by United Church lawyers that the church has engaged in a cover up of residential school crimes with the government since at least 1960, and that church officials kidnapped child to bring them into the schools. (Figure 31)

January 1999: The residential school crimes and the IHRAAM - TCGC inquiry are reported for the first time outside of Canada, in the British magazine The New Internationalist. But the publication is pressured by Crown lawyers to desist from any subsequent coverage of the issue. (Figure 32)

March 1999: In response to the IHRAAM inquiry and escalating lawsuits, the Canadian government creates an “Aboriginal Healing Fund” (AHF) that is used as a hush fund for survivors. Any of the AHF recipients must first agree never to sue the government or churches that ran the schools.

April 26, 2000: In the first of many “spin doctoring” of residential school atrocities, Health Canada admits that it conducted “limited” experiments on school children during the 1950's by denying them dental care, food and vitamins, but provides no details. (See Figure 15)

2000-2001: Facing over ten thousand individual lawsuits by school survivors, the government under church pressure legislates a limit on the scope of such lawsuits and assumes primary financial liability for residential school damages, ignoring the Brenner joint-liability legal decision of 1998. Crown courts in Alberta and Ontario impose similar restrictions and deny survivors the right to sue church and state for genocide. (Figure 33)

February 1, 2001: The TCGC publishes the first documentation of deliberate genocide in Canadian residential schools, “Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust” by Kevin Annett. Over 1,000 copies are sent to the media, politicians and many residential school survivors. (Figure 34)
August 14, 2001: The British Columbia Court of Appeals, under government pressure, reverses the 1998 Brenner Decision and places the entire financial liability for residential school damages on the

23

federal government and taxpayer, absolving the churches of any financial liability.

2001-2004: The TCGC mounts a broad public education campaign about the residential schools genocide, picketing the churches responsible and holding public forums across Canada at which survivors tell their stories and name names. The Commission begins its own radio program on Vancouver Co-op Radio, “Hidden from History”, hosted by Kevin Annett. The program will air for nine years until it is terminated from government pressure.

December 29, 2004: After being contacted by Kevin Annett, a federation of Mayan indigenous groups issues a “Denuncia” or official demand to the Canadian government to disclose its evidence of the genocide of native people in Canada. Receiving no reply, the Mayans take their Denuncia of the Canadian Genocide to the United Nations. (Figure 35)

April 15, 2005: The TCGC and its affiliate The Friends and Relatives of the Disappeared (FRD) hold the first “Aboriginal Holocaust Remembrance Day” in Vancouver outside Catholic, Anglican and United churches. For the first time speakers issue a call for the repatriation of the remains of children who died at the residential schools. The event is widely reported in the media.

March-October 2006: Numerous accounts of mass graves of children at or near former Indian residential schools are received by the TCGC and FRD, prompting the production of the first documentary film on Genocide in Canada: Unrepentant. The film is based on Kevin Annett's research and work with survivors. On October 1 the TCGC merges with FRD into one organization.

January – May 2007: Unrepentant is released worldwide to hundreds of thousands of viewers, and wins Best Documentary at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. (Figure 36) FRD and Kevin Annett commence high profile occupations of Catholic, Anglican and United churches in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto, which are widely reported in the media. A report surfaces that residential school documents were deliberately destroyed by the government. (Figures 37 and 38)

April 2007: After seeing Unrepentant, Member of Parliament Gary Merasty calls on the government to begin repatriating the remains of residential school children. Indian Affairs minister Jim Prentice

24

announces a “Missing Children's Task Force” that never convenes. But Prentice also hints at the formation of a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission” to investigate residential school deaths.
April 24, 2007: Based on interviews with Kevin Annett and his network of survivors, the Globe and Mail newspaper publishes a front page article confirming the 50% death rate in residential schools. (Figure 39, “Natives died in droves as Ottawa ignored warnings”, Globe and Mail, April 24, 2007)

January – March, 2008: As the government stalls, FRD launches a new wave of church occupations and declares its intent to begin an action in international courts of justice against Canada and its churches. Eviction notices are issued against the Catholic, Anglican and United churches by aboriginal elders across Canada. (Figures 40, 41 and 42, “Native group warns of international court action”, The National Post, February 13, 2008; “Show us where dead buried, natives ask”, Toronto Sun, February 5, 2008; “Protesters storm church in bid to learn fate of aboriginal children”, The Globe and Mail, March 10, 2008; “Native protesters disrupt Easter services in Vancouver”, The Globe and Mail, March 24, 2008)

April 10, 2008: Kevin Annett and FRD release to the world media a list of twenty eight mass grave sites at or near former Indian residential schools across Canada. Neither Annett nor any FRD member is ever contacted by the police or government about the grave sites. (See Appendix Five)

April 15, 2008: On the FRD's fourth Aboriginal Holocaust Memorial Day, the government issues a statement that although “enormous numbers of deaths” occurred in residential schools, no criminal charges will be laid against the churches that ran the schools, thereby legally indemnifying them from any prosecution. The churches then all quickly endorse the proposed “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”.

June 1, 2008: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) is launched by the government after its officers are nominated by the three churches and approved by the Prime Minister's office. Its restricted mandate forbids it from laying criminal charges, issuing subpoenas, investigating homicides or taking down as evidence the names of any residential school perpetrators. And over half of all school survivors are disqualified from any compensation by the government.

June 11, 2008: Prime Minister Stephen Harper issues a formal “apology” in Parliament for Indian residential schools, not mentioning the deaths of students or the involvement of churches in the schools. But Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe refers to the “mass graves” of Indian children.

25

June 15, 2008: FRD calls on all Canadians and school survivors to reject the “apology” and boycott the TRC, and seek instead an international criminal tribunal into Genocide in Canada with the power to sub-poena, arrest and prosecute.

January 2009: Unrepentant is now viewed worldwide and prompts human rights groups in Europe to invite Kevin Annett and FRD members to speak at public forums in London, Dublin, Paris and Rome. The government's TRC responds to each new action by the FRD by holding public forums for survivors, but the latter are discouraged from naming names or describing crimes other than physical and sexual “abuse”.

October 2009: Italian politicians, including the provincial government of Liguria in Genoa, agree to sponsor an inquiry into Genocide in Canada after an FRD delegation including Kevin Annett presents them with the evidence and wins their endorsement. (Figures 43 and 44) On October 11, Kevin conducts a public exorcism outside the Vatican. The next day, a tornado strikes the center of Rome. (Figures 45 and 46) That week, European media first begin to report the personal complicity of Pope Benedict, Joseph Ratzinger, in concealing crimes against children in the Catholic Church.

December 14, 2009: FRD organizer and residential school survivor Bingo Dawson is beaten to death by three Vancouver policemen, according to eyewitness Ricky Lavallee. The cause of death is listed as “alcohol poisoning” although an accompanying toxicology report states that no alcohol or drugs were found in his bloodstream. Bingo is the first of six FRD members who will die of foul play between 2009 and 2012. (Figures 47 and 48, including Coroner's Report)

April 1-4, 2010: Sponsoring Italian politicians host Kevin Annett and an FRD delegation of residential school survivors at a major press conference in Rome. But their support is suddenly curtailed and the FRD delegation is detained by the police just before they are to protest outside the Vatican. A Canadian government-paid operative has infiltrated the FRD and discredited it to media and FRD supporters with false stories. (Figure 49 – the operative, Charles Cook, is on far right in the picture) April 15-16, 2010: Kevin Annett holds high profile protests with Irish survivors of Catholic Church torture outside the Irish Parliament in Dublin, and calls for the public prosecution of Pope Benedict. (Figures 50 and 51; “Abuse in Canadian residential schools identical to here, says clergyman”, The Irish Times,

26

April 16, 2010; “Survivors demand truth panel probe claims on care institutions”, The Irish Independent, April 16, 2010. Kevin's trip was sponsored by three groups of Irish survivors of church crimes.)

June 15, 2010: The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) is established in Dublin by six organizations and survivors of church tortures. Its mandate is to prosecute both church and state for crimes committed against children, and disestablish such unlawful authorities. The Canadian government's TRC issues a statement the same week that its research has uncovered evidence of the graves of children at residential school sites, but gives no details.

August, 2010: The film Unrepentant is broadcast in four languages to over ten million viewers on Swiss and German television. Kevin Annett's new book Unrepentant: Disrobing the Emperor is published in London. But on August 9, Kevin's long standing radio program Hidden from History is canceled without cause or explanation by Vancouver Co-op radio, which is government funded.

April 10, 2011: Ten Mohawk elders invite Kevin Annett to their territory at Brantford, Ontario to assist them in recovering the remains of children in mass graves next to the oldest residential school in Canada, the Mohawk Institute, and run by the Church of England. (Figure 52) The next month, on May 29, while doing archival research in London, Kevin is deported from England without cause. (Figure 53)

October-December 2011: The ITCCS and Mohawk elders begin their joint investigation into the missing children at the Brantford school by employing grand penetrating radar. Suspected grave sites are located almost immediately based on surviving eyewitness account. Actual excavation of such a site commences in November, and uncovers buttons off school uniforms and sixteen bone samples, one of which is confirmed by forensic experts to be from a small child. This first recovery of bones from a residential school grave goes completely unreported in the Canadian media, despite a Mohawk press conference in November. (Figures 54 and 55; see Appendix Six for the full report and http://itccs.org/mass-graves-of-children-in-canada-documented-evidence/ )

January 2012: The Mohawk excavation is sabotaged by paid government agents in the local tribal council. But two remaining elders and the ITCCS publish their findings before the world. The same month, the government's TRC releases its “interim report” that confirms that an unstated number of children died in residential schools without naming the names or who is responsible.

27

July 1, 2012: Encouraged by the Brantford dig findings, the ITCCS convenes the International Common Law Court of Justice (ICLCJ) in Brussels. The court commences a criminal trial that charges Canada and its churches, the crown of England and the Vatican with Genocide and crimes against humanity, and engaging in a criminal conspiracy. Thirty defendants are named and subpoenaed, including Queen Elizabeth, Pope Benedict and Prime Minister Stephen Harper; none of them respond to or contest any of the charges or evidence brought against them in the court. (See http://itccs.org/common-law-court-documents/)

February 11, 2013: The chief defendant in the ICLCJ trial, Pope Benedict (Joseph Ratzinger) resigns suddenly from his office just five days after the Vatican receives a diplomatic note from the Spanish government announcing that, based on the ICLCJ court material, an arrest warrant against Ratzinger could be issued if he enters Spanish territory.

February 25, 2013: The ICLCJ court and jury find Joseph Ratzinger and all of the other defendants guilty as charged of crimes against humanity and engaging in a criminal conspiracy. Defendants are sentenced in absentia to twenty five years in prison without parole and a loss of their assets and authority. Arrest warrants are issued against the guilty on February 25. (Figure 56)

April-August, 2013: Three other Vatican officials who are named as defendants in the ICLCJ case and eventually found guilty under its verdict will resign from their offices: Tarcisio Bertone, Vatican Secretary of State; Irish Cardinal Sean Brady; and eventually, Jesuit leader Adolfo Pachon.

April-July, 2014: The ICLCJ convenes a second case to charge three top Vatican officials with aiding and abetting child trafficking and homicide: Pope Francis (Jorge Bergoglio), Jesuit head Adolfo Pachon, and Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

Based on the testimonies of 29 eyewitnesses linking all three defendants to the 9th Circle cult, all are found guilty as charged and sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment. Common law arrest warrants are issued. (See http://itccs.org/2014/07/24/sheriffs-move-to-arrest-convicted-church-leaders-bergoglio- pachon-and-welby-vatican-crown-plan-counter-attack/ )

28

January 15, 2015: Based on the conviction and legal nullification of the authority of the Crown of England resulting from the ICLCJ verdict of February 25, 2013, patriots in Canada declare the establishment of a sovereign Republic of Kanata under the authority of international and common law. Stand down Orders are issued to all crown agents in Canada and a Constitutional Convention is announced. (http://itccs.org/2015/01/07/debts-taxes-nullified-in-new-republic-of-kanata )

June 3, 2015: Canada acknowledges that genocide occurred within the Indian residential school system and that thousands of children died as a result. (New York Times, 3/6/2015) In response, the ITCCS convenes a new coalition that will establish the International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC) the following December, 2015.

March 1, 2016: Counter Report to the TRC’s misinformation is issued by the International Tribunal for the Disappeared of Canada (ITDC) and Kevin Annett.

(6) IHRAAM is an acronym for The International Human Rights Organization of American Minorities, an NGO with “consultative status” at the U.N. IHRAAM officials have falsely claimed, after the fact, that they never sponsored the Vancouver inquiry, despite documents showing that IHRAAM convened the event, paid for the hall where it was held and issued Public Summonses under their own letterhead to those persons subpoenaed by the inquiry. See Figures 26-29.
