“Oh, the headlines two years ago were horrific – HORRIFIC.
It was every racist, oppressive, creepy boarding school nightmare scenario come to life, and just one more baseball bat to the reputation of a colonizing, supremacist Roman Catholic Church.
The Catholics had let orphaned indigenous children wallow in miserable, inhumane conditions in their “charity” schools, and when they perished in abject poverty from malnourishment, mistreatment, and disease, they dumped the little bodies in unmarked graves on the church grounds.
The proof was in the pudding – 215 little corpses. Said so right on the ground penetrating radar.”

Canada mourns as remains of 215 children found at indigenous school
Unmarked graves containing the remains of 215 children have been found in Canada at a former residential school set up to assimilate indigenous people.
The children were students at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia that closed in 1978.
The discovery was announced on Thursday by the chief of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it was a “painful reminder” of a “shameful chapter of our country’s history”.
The First Nation is working with museum specialists and the coroner’s office to establish the causes and timings of the deaths, which are not currently known.
—
“The school was the largest one in the system and had been opened from 1890-1950. The grievance warriors of the tribe were ready to track down who the little tykes could have been, and began the process of reaching out to other First Nations. As they said, these were “undocumented” deaths, so who were these poor kids?
—
…The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation said the remains were found with the help of a ground-penetrating radar during a survey of the school.
“To our knowledge, these missing children are undocumented deaths,” Ms Casimir said. “Some were as young as three years old.”
“We sought out a way to confirm that knowing out of deepest respect and love for those lost children and their families, understanding that Tk’emlups te Secwepemc is the final resting place of these children.”
—
“At this point, no shovel has touched the sod, though. The rumored graves were still “anomalies” on the grainy grey GPR screen.
Didn’t matter. Within days, prominent Canadians were fanning the flames of righteous outrageous outrage.”
—-
“Never late to a poseur party, that Canadian bastion of virtue signaling moral authority, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, took his shots at the Catholic Church every chance he had a mic to opine into.
How DARE they not apologize for this abomination, as he invoked his visit with the Pope for good measure.”

Justin Trudeau demands Catholic Church apologise following discovery of remains at church-run school
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is “deeply disappointed” the Roman Catholic Church has not offered a formal apology in the wake of 215 children’s remains being found beneath a church-run Indigenous boarding school.
“When I went to the Vatican a number of years ago I directly asked His Holiness, Pope Francis, to move forward on apologising, on asking for forgiveness, on restitution, on making these records available, and we’re still seeing resistance from the church, possibly from the church in Canada,” Mr Trudeau said.
“As a Catholic, I am deeply disappointed by the position that the Catholic Church has taken now and over the past many years.”
Mr Trudeau said the church had been “silent” and was “not stepping up”.
—
“Trudeau darkly hinted at taking government action if the church continued to lag.
Meanwhile, there had still not been a shovel touching sod to retrieve the bodies.
But all the flim-flamming flame throwing has real flames being fanned at historic Catholic Churches across the breadth of Canada in retaliation.”

…That didn’t stop many in Canada from painting a demonic picture of the residential schools and those who staffed them.
“The system forcibly separated children from their families for extended periods of time and forbade them to acknowledge their Indigenous heritage and culture or to speak their own languages,” according to the website of the First Nations and Indigenous Studies of the University of British Columbia.
Assembly of First Nations Grand Chief RoseAnne Archibald told the BBC in August 2021 that the residential school policy was “designed to kill, and we’re seeing proof of that …”
Within days of the Kamloops announcement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decreed, partly at the request of tribal leaders, that all flags on federal buildings fly at half-staff. The Canadian government and provincial authorities pledged about $320 million to fund more research and in December pledged another $40 billion involving First Nations child-welfare claim settlements that partially compensate some residential school attendees.
—
“And Pope Francis apologized.”
—
…Pope Francis issued a formal apology on behalf of the Catholic Church, which ran many of the residential school facilities, and asked for God’s forgiveness.”
—
A”ll this, and STILL, not a shovel had touched sod.
Isn’t that weird? All this weeping and moaning and heartbreak on so many sides, but the site of the mass grave causing it still lies unexcavated over two years later? No one thought it was important enough to actually get those poor little ones out of unconsecrated ground?
WHUT?
At last. This summer, someone finally got around to digging. And digging. And digging.
And, fourteen holes later, they still didn’t have a single body.
Well, knock me over with an eagle feather.”

After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains.
…Minegoziibe Anishinabe, a group of indigenous people also known as Pine Creek First Nation, excavated 14 sites in the basement of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Catholic Church near the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba during four weeks this summer.
The so-called “anomalies” were first detected using ground-penetrating radar, but on Aug. 18, Chief Derek Nepinak of remote Pine Creek Indian Reserve said no remains were found.
—
“The chief wants everyone to know that doesn’t change a damn thing about how bad the schools were.
RIGHT, BUDDY
It kind of does, because this means they weren’t the child slaughterhouses you were claiming. There is a big degree of difference in awful between “Gee, this really sucks” and “They’ve killed hundreds and thousands of children and dumped them in the yard.” Just sayin’.”
With as ghastly and wild as the accusations have been, surely there would be a tiny femur or digit…”
—
Two years ago, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys revealed what were said to be mass burial sites near or on the grounds of numerous former ‘residential schools’. These schools were set up at the end of the 19th century to educate Inuit and First Nations children, in order to assimilate them into Canadian society. Undoubtedly, many indigenous children were mistreated in residential schools, but mass killings had never been alleged before.
…This is just the latest in a series of excavations of alleged burial sites at one-time residential schools. They have been undertaken at the former Mohawk school in Brantford, the former Shubenacadie Indian Residential School in Nova Scotia, the Charles Camsell Hospital in Edmonton and the Kuper Island Residential School in British Columbia. And they have all failed to unearth a single unmarked grave. This really ought to call into question the whole narrative of mass slaughter at Canada’s residential schools.
There has certainly been no shortage of people over the past two years willing to speculate about the number of indigenous children that were supposedly killed in residential schools. In June 2021, after the first claims of unmarked graves emerged, Murray Sinclair, former chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), said the residential-school death toll ‘could be in the 15,000-to-25,000 range’. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, director of the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre at the University of British Columbia, called it a ‘genocide’.

“…and they’ve got bupkiss.
This entire episode is unconscionable, revolting, and disgraceful. It wasn’t a rush to judgement based on flimsy evidence – it was a high tech lynching of history and a simultaneous extortionary exercise based on NO evidence other than grievance politics.”
“A few days ago, we learned how the assailant in the white supremacist attack on the Dollar General store in Jacksonville, FL avoided a hard target and went for an undefended one instead. From the previous article:
Jacksonville assailant found a soft target after security scared him away from the first
Prior to the shooting, the gunman had been turned away from the campus of a nearby historically Black university, Edward Waters University. There, he refused to identify himself to an on-campus security officer and was asked to leave, the university stated in a news release.
“The individual returned to their car and left campus without incident. The encounter was reported to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office by EWU security,” the school said.
It was obvious why the assailant ran away from there. An armed on-campus security officer arrived. That would have meant an immediate confrontation, which the assailant did not want. He wanted to take his own sweet time ending the lives of innocent, unarmed victims.
It turns out, however, that this was not a one-off occurrence. The assailant had initially planned to attack a different Family Dollar store and ran away from there also because he saw the possibility of immediate armed resistance. CNN’s newer report states this (archived links):
The Jacksonville gunman’s dad called 911 after the deadly rampage started. Here’s what he said about his son
Authorities have released details from a 911 call made by the father of [***] – the gunman who killed three people in what authorities called a racially motivated rampage at a Dollar General store in Florida. […]
After the gunfire started, [***] texted his father and told him to go into his room, where the father found a will and a suicide note, Jacksonville’s sheriff said. […]
[***] had been getting psychiatric help and was on medication, but it looked like his son had stopped taking his medication because there was a full bottle that was filled on July 23, his father told the operator.
The father said he called the Clay County Sheriff’s Office a few years ago when his son threatened to kill himself.
[***] flunked out of college, then worked at Home Depot and was “pretty much been living in his room” after losing that job, his father told the operator.
The same factors – mental illness, self-isolation, unemployment – play out in a lot of these incidents. Clearly, this man was sick to begin with. At some point, he also went down the path of hate.
Investigators believe the gunman originally intended to attack a different dollar store – a Family Dollar he visited just minutes before driving to the university, Waters told CNN’s Abby Phillip on Monday night.
Waters believes the sight of a security vehicle arriving at the store and parking outside deterred the shooter.
“I don’t think he wanted to have any confrontation with someone that would create an issue for him or stop him from doing what he wanted to do,” Waters said.
“He had a goal in mind,” the sheriff said. “I think he wanted those stores – one of those stores. I don’t know why.”
So, the assailant first went to a Family Dollar store, saw a security vehicle, drove away to Edward Waters University. a Historically Black College/University (HBCU), again encountered security there, and finally ended up at the Dollar General where he committed his atrocity.
Duval County Sheriff T. K. Waters does not think that the assailant intended to attack the HBCU:
Surveillance footage shows two young African American men getting into the car next to the suspect’s as he was sitting in the lot, the sheriff noted. That bolsters Waters’ belief that the gunman didn’t intend to carry out an attack at the university, he said.
“He had the opportunity to do so, and he did not,” Waters told CNN on Monday.
The shooter immediately started to drive away after being approached by a security officer, and he was followed until he left campus, Edward Waters University President and CEO A. Zachary Faison Jr. said.”
AJ – The article you posted on Cdn residential schools is confusing. It begins by describing the events surrounding the Kamloops (BC) residential school yet claims no bodies have been found based on a dig done in Manitoba. That’s like claiming there are no bodies in Washington because none were found in Minnesota. A bizarre claim.
Residential schools were established to “beat the Indian” out of the kids (to quote our first Prime Minister). The idea was to wipe out the culture and make them white. Many of the kids were taken from their homes in isolated settlements or even nomadic communities in the far north. They were forbidden to speak their own language, worship, dress, etc in their traditional manner. Completely cut off from their community, they were physically and sexually abused creating an inter-generational trauma that still exists.
A minimum of 3,200 children died in the schools but estimates range as far as 6,000. Most of the recorded deaths are listed as TB; an indication of an unhealthy living environment. Most children were buried at the schools and most cemeteries were undocumented. It’s entirely possible that sites identified as having children’s remains do indeed have remains. In all likelihood, we will never know the exact number and never know where all the bodies are buried. The body count is not important – these schools were set up with an immoral agenda and resulted in abuse and death, which was ignored for a century. I hardly think failure to find 48 bodies is relevant or noteworthy.
The residential schools were run by various Christian churches – Salvation Army, United, Anglican and Catholic – until the Canadian government took over the schools in the 70s and slowly closed them down. The Catholic church drew the ire of activists because it was the only church not to contribute to the Truth and Reconciliation fund and did not formally apologise until finally forced a few years backs – at least two decades later than the other churches. (In the early 2000’s my daughter attended an Anglican Sunday school and there was frequent collections to raise funds for residential school survivors)
The digs were done by the tribe in areas they insisted showed buried bodies. They found none.
“After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains.

They said they were there according to their ground radar. They were not. Your issue is with the accuser’s who did the search where they insisted bodies were, not the supposed perpetrators.
And the article goes on to say that the children weren’t treated well in some of these places. But they aren’t the graveyards that are alleged by authorities and the First Nation peoples.
No bodies have been produced to date. That’s not the narrative the Canadian govt and First Nation People alleged.
The “facts” they presented led to churches being firebombed. Those facts appear untrue, but the damaged they caused to churches was very real.
Again, when can we expect the indictments, and the lawsuits from the DoJ?
Or is it only a crime when a R does it?

AJ – you missed my point; the author starts with the Kelowna claim of bodies buried by the residential school but then uses the lack of bodies in a Manitoba reserve to discredit the Kelowna claim. That doesn’t make sense.
Secondly, the anti-Catholic sentiment has more to do with their inability to take responsibility in the last two decades. Kelowna may have been the tipping point but they were the only church not taking responsibility.
There’s a paywall for the Detroit news so I went elsewhere. The governor is not saying he will ignore the law, for now he’s simply stating that McConnell isn’t resigning so the question is moot. And of course you can’t charge someone if they have yet to commit the act.
It appears someone in Hind County is a sore loser and is using the Trump playbook. Imitation is flattery I suppose. Voting machines all have paper records. The number of paper ballots can’t exceed the number of votes shown on the machine. It should be pretty easy to sort this out just like it was pretty easy to sort out that Trump lost.
He was 22 years old… and no explanation of his death?
People who have never been in trouble or in jail are terrified when the DOJ comes to get them with their battering rams and harrassment of family, friends and employers. Then they seek to drag their trials out for three years or more and add additional charges that simply destroy them. Tyranny.
Four good men are now dead because of DOJ tactics. That alone should be enough to defund and dismantle the whole department.
When your country arrests citizens who simply protest, you know your country is no longer a Constitutional Republic.
“A man arrested for entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has died, according to prosecutors and family members.
Nejourde Meacham, known as Jord, passed away on Aug. 28.
No cause of death was disclosed in an obituary, social media posts by relatives, or a court filing by prosecutors.
A lawyer representing Mr. Meacham, 22, of Utah, did not respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Meacham was arrested in August on four misdemeanors, including knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so.
Footage from surveillance cameras and people inside the Capitol showed Mr. Meacham entering the building on Jan. 6, 2021, while carrying a flag indicating support for then-President Donald Trump.
Mr. Meacham spent approximately nine minutes inside before being escorted out by law enforcement officers, the footage showed.
Mr. Meacham was not accused of carrying out any violence.
He was charged with misdemeanors for allegedly engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct on the Capitol grounds or in Capitol buildings “with the intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct” of Congress.
Members of Congress were in discussing challenges to electoral votes, which they had convened to certify, when the Capitol was breached.
Mr. Meacham on Aug. 15 appeared by video in front of a federal judge, after which he was released on his own recognizance.
His arraignment was scheduled for Sept. 11.
Prosecutors said in a filing on Sept. 1 that they were seeking to end prosecution of Mr. Meacham because he had died.”
“At least three other Jan. 6 defendants have died.
Matthew Perna, 37, of Pennsylvania, committed suicide in 2022 ahead of his sentencing. Mr. Perna’s death was blamed by family members on the delays in his case and the anxiety it caused.
The last delay moved his sentencing hearing from March 3, 2022, to April 1, 2022, at the request of prosecutors.
“When that phone call came, he had not one ounce of hope left, none,” his aunt, Geri Perna, told The Epoch Times. “It crushed him. I called him on the phone, and he was sobbing.”
Mark Aungst, 47, of Pennsylvania, also died in 2022 ahead of sentencing. Local law enforcement officers found him dead after going to his residence to conduct a welfare check, according to a court filing. A coroner determined that Mr. Aungst killed himself.
Christopher Stanton Georgia, 53, of Georgia, died by suicide in early 2021 shortly after being arrested for entering the Capitol.
None of the men were accused of carrying out violent crimes.”
Meanwhile here in MN we let out someone out early who killed an 11 yr. old. Well, he was just arrested with a Glock with a clip or whatever or a bunch of drug stuff. I suppose he will be out ASAP, however.
There is a good book out called “White Man’s Gospel” by Craig Smith, which I read years ago. The schools were, no doubt, like many orphanages, some good, some not so good. Same with the people who ran them and taught in them. Some sacrificed much to help, others took advantage, and some were just plain evil. There is no race, however, that did not do evil, awful things. If one race should Mea culpa all races should.
It’s reprehensible what’s being done to those poor people.
10-15 years for 4 misdemeanors, yet you hear stories daily about far worse crimes committed and the offenders are released immediately.
The most disgusting part?
How many Republicans stand by and do nothing.
Led of course by the NTers and RINO Congress.

Some electric vehicles in Florida are bursting into flames after coming into contact with saltwater. Residual saltwater particles left behind on flooded batteries and battery components can conduct electricity, resulting in short circuits and eventual fires. Safety officials are urging EV owners with vehicles that flooded to take action now as fires can ignite weeks after flooding.
These spontaneous fires can occur up to two weeks after the hurricane’s water surge, so authorities are warning EV owners to park their cars at least 50 feet from any structure.
Hot Air has more:
Owners were being warned to move their EVs at least fifty feet away from any structure. That’s how serious of a fireball can be created. Authorities said that the fires don’t happen immediately, but tend to break out several days or even up to two weeks later. Apparently, as the salt water dries up it can leave behind a trail of salt that can form a “bridge” between the terminals of the EV’s batteries. And if that causes the electricity to arc across, your battery is burning and you’re off to the races.
“A new study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Climate, by 37 researchers from 18 countries suggests that current estimates of global warming are contaminated by urban warming biases.
The study also suggests that the solar activity estimates considered in the most recent reports by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming since the 19th century.
It is well-known that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside. While urban areas only account for less than 4% of the global land surface, many of the weather stations used for calculating global temperatures are located in urban areas. For this reason, some scientists have been concerned that the current global warming estimates may have been contaminated by urban heat island effects. In their latest report, the IPCC estimated that urban warming accounted for less than 10% of global warming. However, this new study suggests that urban warming might account for up to 40% of the warming since 1850.
The study also found that the IPCC’s chosen estimate of solar activity appeared to have prematurely ruled out a substantial role for the Sun in the observed warming.
When the authors analysed the temperature data only using the IPCC’s solar dataset, they could not explain any of the warming since the mid-20th century. That is, they replicated the IPCC’s iconic finding that global warming is mostly human-caused. However, when the authors repeated the analysis using a different estimate of solar activity – one that is often used by the scientific community – they found that most of the warming and cooling trends of the rural data could actually be explained in terms of changing solar activity.
The lead author of the study, Dr. Willie Soon, of the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-Science.com) described the implications of their findings,
“For many years, the general public has been assuming that the science on climate change is settled. This new study shows that this is not the case.”
Another author of the study, Prof. Ana Elias, the Director of the Laboratorio de Ionosfera, Atmósfera Neutra y Magnetosfera (LIANM) at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Argentina, explained:
“This analysis opens the door to a proper scientific investigation into the causes of climate change.””

That would be nice, for a change. But researchers follow the money….
“The Washington Post on August 15, 2023, in a story by Mariana Alfaro, writes about Bill Kristol’s launch of “Republicans for Ukraine,” which is using a $2 million ad campaign “to get congressional Republicans to commit to continue funding aid for Ukraine ahead of what is likely to be a lengthy appropriations fight.” According to Alfaro, advertisements, which will include “testimony” from pro-Ukraine Republican voters, will appear on television, billboards, and online. After two decades of promoting failed and costly wars and interventions, Kristol and what is left of the neoconservative movement are making a last gasp at relevance by once again promoting American involvement in another war.
Fortunately, neoconservatives are a dying breed in American politics. At least in the Republican Party. Having achieved relevance in the latter stages of the Cold War by breaking with the Democratic Party (where most of them came from) and supporting President Ronald Reagan’s policies that won the Cold War, the neoconservatives spent much of the post-Cold War world finding new “monsters to destroy” (to use the famous phrase of John Quincy Adams). They first picked Saddam Hussein in Iraq. But after the U.S. military achieved a quick victory on the battlefield in 1991 and forced Iraqi forces to leave Kuwait, the neoconservatives criticized the Bush 41 administration for not toppling the Iraqi regime. During the Clinton administration, the neocons were ardent champions of U.S. intervention in the Balkans. Then, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the neoconservatives persuaded the George W. Bush administration not only to retaliate against our enemies in Afghanistan but to declare a “Global War on Terror” and launch a crusade to democratize the Arab regimes of the Middle East. Bush 43, backed by the neoconservatives and using Wilsonian rhetoric, preemptively attacked Iraq, overthrew the heinous Hussein regime, declared “victory,” and then needlessly expended the lives of American soldiers and American treasure in failed efforts to remake the Middle East in America’s image.
At the same time that the neoconservatives promoted the democratization of the Middle East, they also urged the Bush 43 administration to expand NATO closer to Russia’s border, ignoring the prudent counsel of Bush 41 Secretary of State James Baker (who told Russian leaders that NATO would not expand if Russia didn’t contest German reunification), and Russian expert and elder statesman George F. Kennan who presciently warned that NATO expansion would revive the worst aspects of Russian nationalism and imperialism. Bush 43 not only expanded NATO further (Romania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia were given membership in 2004, while Albania, and Croatia were invited during the Bush 43 administration but formally joined in 2009), he also publicly called for Ukraine and Georgia to join the alliance. The neocons also urged U.S. intervention in Syria and Libya in 2011 as part of their championing of the so-called “Arab Spring,” which led not to democracy but instead to anarchy, chaos, and increased Russian and Chinese influence in the region.
Last year Jeffrey Sachs wrote that Ukraine is “the latest neocon disaster.” He described the war in Ukraine as “the culmination of a 30-year project of the American neoconservative movement.” Sachs in that piece recounted the neocon track record of promoting disastrous military adventures that have resulted in diminishing U.S. influence abroad and, in the case of Ukraine, risking a wider European war. Sachs concluded that “[i]nstead of risking this disaster, the real solution is to end the neocon fantasies of the past 30 years and for Ukraine and Russia to return to the negotiating table, with NATO committing to end its commitment to the eastward enlargement to Ukraine and Russia in return for a viable peace that respects and protects Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Sachs’ call for a negotiated solution to the Ukraine War was echoed recently in the pages of The National Interest by Russia expert Alex Burilkov and State Department consultant and military intelligence officer Wesley Satterwhite. Burilkov and Satterwhite call for an American-led peace effort in Ukraine before Russia launches a new offensive in the wake of Ukraine’s failed summer offensive. They call their proposed solution a “Korea scenario,” which will result in Ukraine trading parts of four regions occupied by Russia for “robust Western (American) security guarantees.” This, the authors write, would enable the United States to “defuse tensions with Moscow” and focus on the Pacific and China, where we face a “true peer rival.” The authors worry, however, that Russia might seek victory instead of a negotiated solution, and if Russia achieves a victory it would be a “significant setback for the United States and NATO. A Russian victory would also strengthen the Sino-Russian strategic partnership. America, the authors write, must pursue serious peace negotiations now with both Ukraine and Russia. “Only then,” they write, “will the United States be able to focus entirely on containing China, which is of paramount importance to American security and prosperity.”
It seems, however, that the last thing the neocons want is peace in Ukraine. Instead, Kristol’s group wants to “put pressure on Republicans to do the right thing on Ukraine”–which means providing more military aid and training to Ukrainian forces to enable them to achieve victory in the war. As Kelly Beaucar Vlahos notes in Responsible Statecraft, the neocons’ focus is more war, not diplomacy. That also seems to be the focus of the Biden administration, which recently asked Congress for $24 billion more in aid to Ukraine. It is high time for Republicans and America’s leaders to ignore the advice of the Bill Kristols, Max Boot, and David Frums of the American political spectrum. They have been wrong–disastrously wrong–for the last thirty years. The words of Oliver Cromwell to Parliament in 1653 and Leo Amery to Neville Chamberlain in 1940 should be directed at the neoconservatives who still seek to exercise influence over U.S. foreign policy: “You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

“This prevents the order from being a legally compliant final judgment. Unfortunately, that means an appeal is still premature and, if filed, could once again be dismissed by the Court of Appeals.” – Jen Wright, Hamadeh’s lawyer
Hamadeh’s team has evidence that around 9,000 ballots were not counted in the 2022 election, giving him a clear victory over the Democrat candidate.

“Oh, the headlines two years ago were horrific – HORRIFIC.
It was every racist, oppressive, creepy boarding school nightmare scenario come to life, and just one more baseball bat to the reputation of a colonizing, supremacist Roman Catholic Church.
The Catholics had let orphaned indigenous children wallow in miserable, inhumane conditions in their “charity” schools, and when they perished in abject poverty from malnourishment, mistreatment, and disease, they dumped the little bodies in unmarked graves on the church grounds.
The proof was in the pudding – 215 little corpses. Said so right on the ground penetrating radar.”

Canada mourns as remains of 215 children found at indigenous school
Unmarked graves containing the remains of 215 children have been found in Canada at a former residential school set up to assimilate indigenous people.
The children were students at the Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia that closed in 1978.
The discovery was announced on Thursday by the chief of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it was a “painful reminder” of a “shameful chapter of our country’s history”.
The First Nation is working with museum specialists and the coroner’s office to establish the causes and timings of the deaths, which are not currently known.
—
“The school was the largest one in the system and had been opened from 1890-1950. The grievance warriors of the tribe were ready to track down who the little tykes could have been, and began the process of reaching out to other First Nations. As they said, these were “undocumented” deaths, so who were these poor kids?
—
…The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation said the remains were found with the help of a ground-penetrating radar during a survey of the school.
“To our knowledge, these missing children are undocumented deaths,” Ms Casimir said. “Some were as young as three years old.”
“We sought out a way to confirm that knowing out of deepest respect and love for those lost children and their families, understanding that Tk’emlups te Secwepemc is the final resting place of these children.”

“At this point, no shovel has touched the sod, though. The rumored graves were still “anomalies” on the grainy grey GPR screen.
Didn’t matter. Within days, prominent Canadians were fanning the flames of righteous outrageous outrage.”

Justin Trudeau demands Catholic Church apologise following discovery of remains at church-run school
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is “deeply disappointed” the Roman Catholic Church has not offered a formal apology in the wake of 215 children’s remains being found beneath a church-run Indigenous boarding school.
“When I went to the Vatican a number of years ago I directly asked His Holiness, Pope Francis, to move forward on apologising, on asking for forgiveness, on restitution, on making these records available, and we’re still seeing resistance from the church, possibly from the church in Canada,” Mr Trudeau said.
“As a Catholic, I am deeply disappointed by the position that the Catholic Church has taken now and over the past many years.”
Mr Trudeau said the church had been “silent” and was “not stepping up”.
—
“Trudeau darkly hinted at taking government action if the church continued to lag.
Meanwhile, there had still not been a shovel touching sod to retrieve the bodies.
But all the flim-flamming flame throwing has real flames being fanned at historic Catholic Churches across the breadth of Canada in retaliation.”
“And the rhetoric poured on and the money poured in…”\

…That didn’t stop many in Canada from painting a demonic picture of the residential schools and those who staffed them.
“The system forcibly separated children from their families for extended periods of time and forbade them to acknowledge their Indigenous heritage and culture or to speak their own languages,” according to the website of the First Nations and Indigenous Studies of the University of British Columbia.
Assembly of First Nations Grand Chief RoseAnne Archibald told the BBC in August 2021 that the residential school policy was “designed to kill, and we’re seeing proof of that …”
Within days of the Kamloops announcement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau decreed, partly at the request of tribal leaders, that all flags on federal buildings fly at half-staff. The Canadian government and provincial authorities pledged about $320 million to fund more research and in December pledged another $40 billion involving First Nations child-welfare claim settlements that partially compensate some residential school attendees.

“And Pope Francis apologized.”

…Pope Francis issued a formal apology on behalf of the Catholic Church, which ran many of the residential school facilities, and asked for God’s forgiveness.”

After two years of horror stories about the alleged mass graves of Indigenous children at residential schools across Canada, a series of recent excavations at suspected sites has turned up no human remains.
…Minegoziibe Anishinabe, a group of indigenous people also known as Pine Creek First Nation, excavated 14 sites in the basement of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows Catholic Church near the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba during four weeks this summer.
The so-called “anomalies” were first detected using ground-penetrating radar, but on Aug. 18, Chief Derek Nepinak of remote Pine Creek Indian Reserve said no remains were found.

“The chief wants everyone to know that doesn’t change a damn thing about how bad the schools were.
RIGHT, BUDDY
It kind of does, because this means they weren’t the child slaughterhouses you were claiming. There is a big degree of difference in awful between “Gee, this really sucks” and “They’ve killed hundreds and thousands of children and dumped them in the yard.” Just sayin’.”
With as ghastly and wild as the accusations have been, surely there would be a tiny femur or digit…”

Two years ago, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys revealed what were said to be mass burial sites near or on the grounds of numerous former ‘residential schools’. These schools were set up at the end of the 19th century to educate Inuit and First Nations children, in order to assimilate them into Canadian society. Undoubtedly, many indigenous children were mistreated in residential schools, but mass killings had never been alleged before.
…This is just the latest in a series of excavations of alleged burial sites at one-time residential schools. They have been undertaken at the former Mohawk school in Brantford, the former Shubenacadie Indian Residential School in Nova Scotia, the Charles Camsell Hospital in Edmonton and the Kuper Island Residential School in British Columbia. And they have all failed to unearth a single unmarked grave. This really ought to call into question the whole narrative of mass slaughter at Canada’s residential schools.
There has certainly been no shortage of people over the past two years willing to speculate about the number of indigenous children that were supposedly killed in residential schools. In June 2021, after the first claims of unmarked graves emerged, Murray Sinclair, former chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), said the residential-school death toll ‘could be in the 15,000-to-25,000 range’. Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, director of the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre at the University of British Columbia, called it a ‘genocide’.

Turns out protecting these places make an attack less likely, which is what many have said all along.
“Jacksonville update: Assailant avoided not one, but TWO secure targets before going to the third”
https://bearingarms.com/ranjit-singh/2023/09/01/jacksonville-update-assailant-avoided-not-one-but-two-secure-targets-before-going-to-the-third-n74366
“A few days ago, we learned how the assailant in the white supremacist attack on the Dollar General store in Jacksonville, FL avoided a hard target and went for an undefended one instead. From the previous article:
Jacksonville assailant found a soft target after security scared him away from the first
Prior to the shooting, the gunman had been turned away from the campus of a nearby historically Black university, Edward Waters University. There, he refused to identify himself to an on-campus security officer and was asked to leave, the university stated in a news release.
“The individual returned to their car and left campus without incident. The encounter was reported to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office by EWU security,” the school said.
It was obvious why the assailant ran away from there. An armed on-campus security officer arrived. That would have meant an immediate confrontation, which the assailant did not want. He wanted to take his own sweet time ending the lives of innocent, unarmed victims.
It turns out, however, that this was not a one-off occurrence. The assailant had initially planned to attack a different Family Dollar store and ran away from there also because he saw the possibility of immediate armed resistance. CNN’s newer report states this (archived links):
The Jacksonville gunman’s dad called 911 after the deadly rampage started. Here’s what he said about his son
Authorities have released details from a 911 call made by the father of [***] – the gunman who killed three people in what authorities called a racially motivated rampage at a Dollar General store in Florida. […]
After the gunfire started, [***] texted his father and told him to go into his room, where the father found a will and a suicide note, Jacksonville’s sheriff said. […]
[***] had been getting psychiatric help and was on medication, but it looked like his son had stopped taking his medication because there was a full bottle that was filled on July 23, his father told the operator.
The father said he called the Clay County Sheriff’s Office a few years ago when his son threatened to kill himself.
[***] flunked out of college, then worked at Home Depot and was “pretty much been living in his room” after losing that job, his father told the operator.
The same factors – mental illness, self-isolation, unemployment – play out in a lot of these incidents. Clearly, this man was sick to begin with. At some point, he also went down the path of hate.
Investigators believe the gunman originally intended to attack a different dollar store – a Family Dollar he visited just minutes before driving to the university, Waters told CNN’s Abby Phillip on Monday night.
Waters believes the sight of a security vehicle arriving at the store and parking outside deterred the shooter.
“I don’t think he wanted to have any confrontation with someone that would create an issue for him or stop him from doing what he wanted to do,” Waters said.
“He had a goal in mind,” the sheriff said. “I think he wanted those stores – one of those stores. I don’t know why.”
So, the assailant first went to a Family Dollar store, saw a security vehicle, drove away to Edward Waters University. a Historically Black College/University (HBCU), again encountered security there, and finally ended up at the Dollar General where he committed his atrocity.
Duval County Sheriff T. K. Waters does not think that the assailant intended to attack the HBCU:
Surveillance footage shows two young African American men getting into the car next to the suspect’s as he was sitting in the lot, the sheriff noted. That bolsters Waters’ belief that the gunman didn’t intend to carry out an attack at the university, he said.
“He had the opportunity to do so, and he did not,” Waters told CNN on Monday.
The shooter immediately started to drive away after being approached by a security officer, and he was followed until he left campus, Edward Waters University President and CEO A. Zachary Faison Jr. said.”

AJ – The article you posted on Cdn residential schools is confusing. It begins by describing the events surrounding the Kamloops (BC) residential school yet claims no bodies have been found based on a dig done in Manitoba. That’s like claiming there are no bodies in Washington because none were found in Minnesota. A bizarre claim.
Residential schools were established to “beat the Indian” out of the kids (to quote our first Prime Minister). The idea was to wipe out the culture and make them white. Many of the kids were taken from their homes in isolated settlements or even nomadic communities in the far north. They were forbidden to speak their own language, worship, dress, etc in their traditional manner. Completely cut off from their community, they were physically and sexually abused creating an inter-generational trauma that still exists.
A minimum of 3,200 children died in the schools but estimates range as far as 6,000. Most of the recorded deaths are listed as TB; an indication of an unhealthy living environment. Most children were buried at the schools and most cemeteries were undocumented. It’s entirely possible that sites identified as having children’s remains do indeed have remains. In all likelihood, we will never know the exact number and never know where all the bodies are buried. The body count is not important – these schools were set up with an immoral agenda and resulted in abuse and death, which was ignored for a century. I hardly think failure to find 48 bodies is relevant or noteworthy.
The residential schools were run by various Christian churches – Salvation Army, United, Anglican and Catholic – until the Canadian government took over the schools in the 70s and slowly closed them down. The Catholic church drew the ire of activists because it was the only church not to contribute to the Truth and Reconciliation fund and did not formally apologise until finally forced a few years backs – at least two decades later than the other churches. (In the early 2000’s my daughter attended an Anglican Sunday school and there was frequent collections to raise funds for residential school survivors)

“A man arrested for entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has died, according to prosecutors and family members.
Nejourde Meacham, known as Jord, passed away on Aug. 28.
No cause of death was disclosed in an obituary, social media posts by relatives, or a court filing by prosecutors.
A lawyer representing Mr. Meacham, 22, of Utah, did not respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Meacham was arrested in August on four misdemeanors, including knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so.
Footage from surveillance cameras and people inside the Capitol showed Mr. Meacham entering the building on Jan. 6, 2021, while carrying a flag indicating support for then-President Donald Trump.
Mr. Meacham spent approximately nine minutes inside before being escorted out by law enforcement officers, the footage showed.
Mr. Meacham was not accused of carrying out any violence.
He was charged with misdemeanors for allegedly engaging in disorderly or disruptive conduct on the Capitol grounds or in Capitol buildings “with the intent to impede, disrupt, or disturb the orderly conduct” of Congress.
Members of Congress were in discussing challenges to electoral votes, which they had convened to certify, when the Capitol was breached.
Mr. Meacham on Aug. 15 appeared by video in front of a federal judge, after which he was released on his own recognizance.
His arraignment was scheduled for Sept. 11.
Prosecutors said in a filing on Sept. 1 that they were seeking to end prosecution of Mr. Meacham because he had died.”
“At least three other Jan. 6 defendants have died.
Matthew Perna, 37, of Pennsylvania, committed suicide in 2022 ahead of his sentencing. Mr. Perna’s death was blamed by family members on the delays in his case and the anxiety it caused.
The last delay moved his sentencing hearing from March 3, 2022, to April 1, 2022, at the request of prosecutors.
“When that phone call came, he had not one ounce of hope left, none,” his aunt, Geri Perna, told The Epoch Times. “It crushed him. I called him on the phone, and he was sobbing.”
Mark Aungst, 47, of Pennsylvania, also died in 2022 ahead of sentencing. Local law enforcement officers found him dead after going to his residence to conduct a welfare check, according to a court filing. A coroner determined that Mr. Aungst killed himself.
Christopher Stanton Georgia, 53, of Georgia, died by suicide in early 2021 shortly after being arrested for entering the Capitol.
None of the men were accused of carrying out violent crimes.”

“Weather.com reports:
Some electric vehicles in Florida are bursting into flames after coming into contact with saltwater. Residual saltwater particles left behind on flooded batteries and battery components can conduct electricity, resulting in short circuits and eventual fires. Safety officials are urging EV owners with vehicles that flooded to take action now as fires can ignite weeks after flooding.
These spontaneous fires can occur up to two weeks after the hurricane’s water surge, so authorities are warning EV owners to park their cars at least 50 feet from any structure.
Hot Air has more:
Owners were being warned to move their EVs at least fifty feet away from any structure. That’s how serious of a fireball can be created. Authorities said that the fires don’t happen immediately, but tend to break out several days or even up to two weeks later. Apparently, as the salt water dries up it can leave behind a trail of salt that can form a “bridge” between the terminals of the EV’s batteries. And if that causes the electricity to arc across, your battery is burning and you’re off to the races.

“New study suggests global warming could be mostly an urban problem”
https://www.ceres-science.com/post/new-study-suggests-global-warming-could-be-mostly-an-urban-problem
“A new study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Climate, by 37 researchers from 18 countries suggests that current estimates of global warming are contaminated by urban warming biases.
The study also suggests that the solar activity estimates considered in the most recent reports by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) likely underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming since the 19th century.
It is well-known that cities are warmer than the surrounding countryside. While urban areas only account for less than 4% of the global land surface, many of the weather stations used for calculating global temperatures are located in urban areas. For this reason, some scientists have been concerned that the current global warming estimates may have been contaminated by urban heat island effects. In their latest report, the IPCC estimated that urban warming accounted for less than 10% of global warming. However, this new study suggests that urban warming might account for up to 40% of the warming since 1850.
The study also found that the IPCC’s chosen estimate of solar activity appeared to have prematurely ruled out a substantial role for the Sun in the observed warming.
When the authors analysed the temperature data only using the IPCC’s solar dataset, they could not explain any of the warming since the mid-20th century. That is, they replicated the IPCC’s iconic finding that global warming is mostly human-caused. However, when the authors repeated the analysis using a different estimate of solar activity – one that is often used by the scientific community – they found that most of the warming and cooling trends of the rural data could actually be explained in terms of changing solar activity.
The lead author of the study, Dr. Willie Soon, of the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES-Science.com) described the implications of their findings,
“For many years, the general public has been assuming that the science on climate change is settled. This new study shows that this is not the case.”
Another author of the study, Prof. Ana Elias, the Director of the Laboratorio de Ionosfera, Atmósfera Neutra y Magnetosfera (LIANM) at the Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, Argentina, explained:
“This analysis opens the door to a proper scientific investigation into the causes of climate change.””

“Last Gasp of the Neoconservatives”
https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2023/09/01/last_gasp_of_the_neoconservatives_977053.html
“The Washington Post on August 15, 2023, in a story by Mariana Alfaro, writes about Bill Kristol’s launch of “Republicans for Ukraine,” which is using a $2 million ad campaign “to get congressional Republicans to commit to continue funding aid for Ukraine ahead of what is likely to be a lengthy appropriations fight.” According to Alfaro, advertisements, which will include “testimony” from pro-Ukraine Republican voters, will appear on television, billboards, and online. After two decades of promoting failed and costly wars and interventions, Kristol and what is left of the neoconservative movement are making a last gasp at relevance by once again promoting American involvement in another war.
Fortunately, neoconservatives are a dying breed in American politics. At least in the Republican Party. Having achieved relevance in the latter stages of the Cold War by breaking with the Democratic Party (where most of them came from) and supporting President Ronald Reagan’s policies that won the Cold War, the neoconservatives spent much of the post-Cold War world finding new “monsters to destroy” (to use the famous phrase of John Quincy Adams). They first picked Saddam Hussein in Iraq. But after the U.S. military achieved a quick victory on the battlefield in 1991 and forced Iraqi forces to leave Kuwait, the neoconservatives criticized the Bush 41 administration for not toppling the Iraqi regime. During the Clinton administration, the neocons were ardent champions of U.S. intervention in the Balkans. Then, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the neoconservatives persuaded the George W. Bush administration not only to retaliate against our enemies in Afghanistan but to declare a “Global War on Terror” and launch a crusade to democratize the Arab regimes of the Middle East. Bush 43, backed by the neoconservatives and using Wilsonian rhetoric, preemptively attacked Iraq, overthrew the heinous Hussein regime, declared “victory,” and then needlessly expended the lives of American soldiers and American treasure in failed efforts to remake the Middle East in America’s image.
At the same time that the neoconservatives promoted the democratization of the Middle East, they also urged the Bush 43 administration to expand NATO closer to Russia’s border, ignoring the prudent counsel of Bush 41 Secretary of State James Baker (who told Russian leaders that NATO would not expand if Russia didn’t contest German reunification), and Russian expert and elder statesman George F. Kennan who presciently warned that NATO expansion would revive the worst aspects of Russian nationalism and imperialism. Bush 43 not only expanded NATO further (Romania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia and Slovenia were given membership in 2004, while Albania, and Croatia were invited during the Bush 43 administration but formally joined in 2009), he also publicly called for Ukraine and Georgia to join the alliance. The neocons also urged U.S. intervention in Syria and Libya in 2011 as part of their championing of the so-called “Arab Spring,” which led not to democracy but instead to anarchy, chaos, and increased Russian and Chinese influence in the region.
Last year Jeffrey Sachs wrote that Ukraine is “the latest neocon disaster.” He described the war in Ukraine as “the culmination of a 30-year project of the American neoconservative movement.” Sachs in that piece recounted the neocon track record of promoting disastrous military adventures that have resulted in diminishing U.S. influence abroad and, in the case of Ukraine, risking a wider European war. Sachs concluded that “[i]nstead of risking this disaster, the real solution is to end the neocon fantasies of the past 30 years and for Ukraine and Russia to return to the negotiating table, with NATO committing to end its commitment to the eastward enlargement to Ukraine and Russia in return for a viable peace that respects and protects Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Sachs’ call for a negotiated solution to the Ukraine War was echoed recently in the pages of The National Interest by Russia expert Alex Burilkov and State Department consultant and military intelligence officer Wesley Satterwhite. Burilkov and Satterwhite call for an American-led peace effort in Ukraine before Russia launches a new offensive in the wake of Ukraine’s failed summer offensive. They call their proposed solution a “Korea scenario,” which will result in Ukraine trading parts of four regions occupied by Russia for “robust Western (American) security guarantees.” This, the authors write, would enable the United States to “defuse tensions with Moscow” and focus on the Pacific and China, where we face a “true peer rival.” The authors worry, however, that Russia might seek victory instead of a negotiated solution, and if Russia achieves a victory it would be a “significant setback for the United States and NATO. A Russian victory would also strengthen the Sino-Russian strategic partnership. America, the authors write, must pursue serious peace negotiations now with both Ukraine and Russia. “Only then,” they write, “will the United States be able to focus entirely on containing China, which is of paramount importance to American security and prosperity.”
It seems, however, that the last thing the neocons want is peace in Ukraine. Instead, Kristol’s group wants to “put pressure on Republicans to do the right thing on Ukraine”–which means providing more military aid and training to Ukrainian forces to enable them to achieve victory in the war. As Kelly Beaucar Vlahos notes in Responsible Statecraft, the neocons’ focus is more war, not diplomacy. That also seems to be the focus of the Biden administration, which recently asked Congress for $24 billion more in aid to Ukraine. It is high time for Republicans and America’s leaders to ignore the advice of the Bill Kristols, Max Boot, and David Frums of the American political spectrum. They have been wrong–disastrously wrong–for the last thirty years. The words of Oliver Cromwell to Parliament in 1653 and Leo Amery to Neville Chamberlain in 1940 should be directed at the neoconservatives who still seek to exercise influence over U.S. foreign policy: “You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go.”

Amazing what happens when corrupt DC courts and judges aren’t involved.
“JUST IN: US District Judge Robin Rosenberg just DISMISSED the lawsuit filed by South Florida Democrat operative Lawrence Caplan, in which he argued that President Trump should be removed from the 2024 presidential ballot in Florida, citing Section 3 of the 14 Amendment. Caplan argued that President Trump participated in an “insurrection” which he says disqualifies Trump from ever being in office ever again.
The dismissal of this politically motivated lawsuit comes days after I exposed Lawrence Caplan as a game show chasing, disbarred tax lawyer who has made a precession out of advising his clients of how they can hide their money and assets in offshore accounts!
TOTAL VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT @realDonaldTrump

Another corrupt judge….
“BREAKING: The judge that oversaw Attorney General candidate Abraham Hamadeh’s election challenge is refusing to sign his OWN orders he made in the case despite being ordered to do so by the Arizona Supreme Court. His not signing these orders means Hamadeh cannot file an appeal and finally get the election fixed.
“This prevents the order from being a legally compliant final judgment. Unfortunately, that means an appeal is still premature and, if filed, could once again be dismissed by the Court of Appeals.” – Jen Wright, Hamadeh’s lawyer
Hamadeh’s team has evidence that around 9,000 ballots were not counted in the 2022 election, giving him a clear victory over the Democrat candidate.
I wish I could say this was shocking but it’s honestly not. These lunatics will do anything to delay justice, but it’s coming.”
