A big account that emerged in Canada three years ago, which allegedly contained the remains of indigenous children, was the site of what was once a state board class work by the Catholic Church. It appeared to confirm every left-wing prejudice against Christians imaginable.
It turns out the whole thing was a fake, a contemporary- time blood slander against Christians that ended with at least 85 Christian churches across Canada destroyed by fire, vandalized, or desecrated. After this death, American political and civil society leaders poured hundreds of millions of dollars into investigating the mass graves and creating a” support account” for indigenous people.
To this day,  , no human remains have been recovered , at the site of the alleged mass grave, despite nearly$ 8 million spent looking for them.
You wo n’t hear the corporate press report on this story now, but in the summer of 2021, it was everywhere. And no question, it had all the components of a merely- so story. Liberal Canadians continue to be outraged by the mere existence of these original boarding schools, which were operational from the 1860s until the 1990s. Native American children were frequently separated from their families and communities by the residential school system, whose primary goal was to integrate and acculturate them into European Canadian society.
The story here was bad sufficiently — a racist anger, as far as American liberals were concerned. Then the information of the large tombs emerged. The Kamloops Indian Residential School’s Catholic monks and nuns, it appeared, had blithely disposed of the dead of hundreds of dead children in large tombs on the school grounds. Or so the Tk’emlps te Secwépemc First Nation, who asserted ground-penetrating detector had revealed the remains close to the site of the original school, claimed.
An outrageous claim of this kind would have faced at least some important scrutiny in a good society. But Canada, like the U. S., is never a good society. Major media outlets merely rephrased the state and presented it as verified point, using the most absurd language possible. CNN called it an , “unthinkable” revelation. The Washington Post , declared , the story had “dragged the horror of Canada’s mistreatment of Indigenous people back into the spotlight” . ,
Officials in Canada followed fit. A year later, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau demanded that Pope Francis visit Canada and offer an apology. He also demanded that colors be lowered to half-mast. Trudeau , said , the revelation “is a terrible reminder of that gloomy and terrible section of our country’s story”. John Horgan, the top of British Columbia, described him as “herified and heartbroken.” The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights , said it was” a large scale human rights violation”, and called on Canada and the Vatican to investigate.
American cultural leaders went further,  , saying , the alleged discovery was proof of “mass crime of aboriginal people”, and an “attempted genocide”. They compared these institutions ‘ priests and nuns to Nazis.
Then the fire appeared amid this growing language. Churches across Canada, most of them Catholic and some more than a century old,  , were burned to the ground in retribution. Not a single church in the area had an aboriginal congregation as its pastor. Many of them were wonderful, historic temples. One of them was a Coptic Orthodox Church, despite the fact that it had no historic connection to the private schools in Canada. Churches that were n’t completely destroyed were vandalized, many of them with the words” charge the priests” scrawled in red paint.
In many cases, local law enforcement had no opinion. Trudeau claimed to be aware of the problems ‘ rage. Harsha Walia, the executive producer of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association,  , tweeted,” Fire it all down”.
At the time, it was clear that all of this was a moral panic, supported by liberal rulers who despise European society in general and Christianity in particular. The large unmarked grave at Kamloops and the thousands of other such graves that were allegedly discovered at the page of another former schools that summer were not what the enraged left claimed they were, according to my then-federalist colleague Chris Bedford , who at the time reported.
In almost every case, they were n’t mass graves, but individual graves, and they were located in cemeteries. The gate that protected the graves from decay, according to Bedford, is what causes the tombs to be “unmarked.” ” In other words, people have found that an ancient cemetery contained body”. Because the government refused to pay for tombstones, it’s important to point out that they chose to use sturdy passes. Additionally, it is important to point out that these cemeteries also house priests, nuns, and other members of these communities. These cemeteries do n’t just house the graves of schoolchildren. In other words, there was no protect- off and no mass graves, simply a complex and nuanced history.
But it was a story that almost no one in Canada was engaged in thoroughly studying. However, many of these ancient tombs with unknown, personal tombs, were detailed in a Truth and Reconciliation Commission report , released roughly a decade ago.
Currently, nearly three years after lots of churches across Canada ( and a few in the U. S. ) were destroyed, there is not a shred of real evidence for the claims that kicked off the ruse, despite millions of dollars spent on research, data requests, and securing the home school grounds at Kamloops.
How could this be? After all, the Tk ’emlúps dit Secwépemc First Nation had claimed terrain- penetrating radar revealed large graves at Kamloops. Chief Rosanne Casimir , said at a news conference,” It’s a harsh reality and it’s our truth, it’s our history. And it’s something that we’ve always had to struggle to verify. To me, it’s always been a awful, horrible story”.
Asked recently about the$ 8 million allocated to uncover the truth about the mass graves, the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation , declined to comment.
The whole thing, it turns out, was a rank literature — a body slander cooked up to peddle traditional problems, inspire a moral panic, and vilify the Catholic Church and all Anglo Canadians. It worked. And now, three years later, you wo n’t hear a word from the politicians, media outlets, and liberal activists who perpetrated it.
Understand this gloomy incident as a part of a global ethnic conflict the West is losing.
