Yeah, that's actually called documented evidence, you moron.

No it doesn't. It implies that they let hundreds of illegitimate children die of malnutrition or treatable disease.

You're letting your fertile little imagination run away with you.

Do we have actual remains yet or are we still relying on radar report?

That isn't what they said. They said "Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation remains the lead official in the matter".

In other words they will decide what the next steps are.

Bryce reported that anywhere from 47 percent (on the Peigan Reserve in Alberta) to 75 percent (from File Hills Boarding School in Saskatchewan) of students discharged from residential schools died shortly after returning home.

The continuing silence of the kiddie fiddlers on this matter is telling.

Between 1831 and 1996, Canada’s residential school system separated nearly 150,000 children from their homes by force. Many were subjected to abuse, rape and malnutrition in what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in 2015 called “cultural genocide.”

Run by the government and church groups, most of them Catholic, the schools’ stated aim was to assimilate indigenous children.

According to TRC reports, the students of these residential schools were often subject to physical and sexual abuse by staff. They were malnourished, underfed, and made to live in poor housing conditions that threatened their safety. Infectious diseases like tuberculosis and influenza were also rampant among students, leading to many deaths.

Now he hasn't, he's desperately trying to play it down and claiming that there is no precedent when there is.

I suspect he's popping down to see his priest for advice.

Do you think they've made a mistake then?

I remember as a young lad in Saskatchewan hearing about these schools and farm colonies on Indian lands. There were several spread all over the province.

I think this discovery of bodies is just the tip of a very nasty iceburg. Found this on net.

Exactly, but the guilty and associates will try to minimise and obfuscate.

No I think they are using a ground radar report that says grave-like anomalies and are going to milk it for all it is worth. Maybe the RCMP will actually use shovels?

There's always that.

They have already got this on the international news and have taken it to and been acknowledged by the UN, so that's pretty good for a little known Indian band.

All we actually have at the current time is long standing stories of the 'knowing' and some guy with a ground penetrating radar machine. No further work has been done. We are actually being told very little about the technical details of the findings, and yet this has gone international.

Very unusual.

So you don't think they've used GPR to find human remains before then?

And have made 215 individual mistakes?

Gosh, the surreptitious disposal of 215 human bodies makes the news. There's a big surprise.

For start, they have taken it first to the Pope at Vatican. At UN it is on waiting list, they have another booking (please no names here).

In fact, there is no urgent action needed, it will not change anything on the fate of the poor kids.

The UN should concentrate rather urgently on Ethiopia's Tigray. What's the funny style of the Nobelists to always award a Peace Prize to somebody who will afterwards start a war?

Some hunter or farmer could have used the area to bury stiffs. We don't really know

Pope Francis met with two Canadian Cardinals on Saturday amid mounting pressure on the Catholic Church to take responsibility for Canada's residential school system, though it's not known what was discussed.

No information was immediately available about why the Pope met with Cardinal Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, and Cardinal Michael Czerny, a top official in the Vatican's migrants and refugees portfolio.

The meetings were disclosed in the Vatican's daily roster of papal audiences.

Trudeau wants Vatican apology for church-run school abuses
June 5, 2021

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday he is “deeply disappointed” the Roman Catholic Church has not offered a formal apology and made amends for its role in Canada’s former system of church-run Indigenous boarding schools after the remains of 215 children were located at what was once the country’s largest such institution.

Trudeau called on the church to “step up” and take responsibility after years of silence.

3. Chechnya Massacres


Dead bodies on a truck in GroznyThe bloody Chechen War began in 1994. Since then a startling number of mass graves have been discovered in the region. In 2008 a total of 58 mass burial sites had been found. The number of victims buried in these graves number in the thousands. The largest mass grave, located in Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, contains the bodies of 800 victims, all of whom are presumed to have perished during the First Chechen War which took place from December 1994 to August 1996.


2. Mass Graves Of Victims Of Stalin's Rule

Joseph Stalin was a notoriously brutal leader who ruled over the Soviet Union from 1922 until 1953. During his bloody reign his band of secret police were reportedly responsible for the murders of approximately 700,000 people. The majority of these victms were dumped into mass graves which were distributed throughout the nation. Although not all of these gruesome sites have been found mass graves have been discovered in Bykivia (Ukraine), Kurapaty (Belarus), Butovo (Moscow, Russia), and Sandarmokh (Russia). In total these mass gravesites are presumed to include 179,000 to 479,000 victims.
