- Simon Wiesenthal

-----)(-----

That sounds appropriate when one talks about the Holocaust in Nazi Germany, and that is what Mr. Wiesenthal was talking about.

But when looking into the history of both countries in the ‘Americas’, in this case the united states and canada, one notices a horrific and haunting similarity with this continent’s dealings with The First People.

We were never taught or conditioned to see the Catholic Church in any other way than it is portrayed now and has been for centuries.

The sad truth is that Hitler was only ‘acting out’ what the Church has said since the beginning, of course, after Jesus’s death...

Any ‘non–Christian’ people, whoever they were, wherever they lived, were considered non–entities, living in a condition called ‘terra nullius’, a term meaning ‘the land of no one’, this being the best excuse for the biggest mass murder in human history, claiming any land ‘which they came upon first’ simply because the people living there were not Christians.

So–called Christians were also covered under the 'Just War Theory' which said that you could kill, rape, murder, all this was ‘in the name of God’ and was completely acceptable, especially because those people being slaughtered were not ‘true believers’ anyway. The invading Christian Superior Dominion actually believed, or simply brainwashed themselves into believing that these people had to be killed ‘for their own salvation’... The best excuse in the world to commit Genocide... and to acquire land and resources...

So what happened after that was the Church hopping in bed with the state, discussions between the two (and others, I am sure!) which resemble Hitler’s WANNSEE – lunch–get’together, and find a way to take care of the ‘Final Solution to the Jewish Problem’...

My point to all this, is that I am still digging in the mud of the past to actually prove (to myself – not to others) that all this was conjured up, planned and perfectly executed by both the Church and the State (in canada specifically)to get rid of the Indian.

Even though almost everyone interested in this sad story knows all of this, it keeps eating away at the pride I feel when I wake up every day of my life, and feel lucky to be where I am, living where I am, but at whose expense? What about Honor and Acknowledgment?

The quote that I was looking for was by Duncan Campbell Scott who was reacting to a medical doctor's report on the mistreatment of the children in the Residential Schools in British Columbia in the beginning of the 20th century...

"It is true that Indian children are dying at a much higher rate in our Indian Residential Schools, but such is IN KEEPING WITH THE POLICY OF THIS DEPARTMENT WHICH IS CONCERNED WITH THE FINAL SOLUTION TO THE INDIAN PROBLEM IN CANADA. "

Quickly, another quote, this time from Neil Parker – Indian Affairs, Ottawa 1949 "If I was responsible for a group of Indian children and wished to eliminate half of them through exposure of communicable diseases, there is no finer tool than your average Residential School. "

Now it REALLY sounds like the Wannsee Conference. What is the difference?? You tell me.
