Brickbat: We Can't Handle the Truth

Two years after Canadian officials announced the graves of 215 children had been found on the grounds of a former Indian residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia, no human remains have actually been discovered. And some in the government don't like how critics keep pointing that out. In a recent report, Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites Kimberly Murray called for legal action to combat residential school "denialists" including criminal and civil penalties. Justice Minister David Lametti said he is open to "outlawing" such denialism, pointing to nations that have banned Holocaust denialism.

And if anyone denies the need for such laws, they’ll be punished for denialism denialism.

And so forth all down the line.

[A Cynical Asshole]

It's turtles denialism all the way down.

[Rob Misek]

The same situation exists in EVERY nation where the holocaust is alleged to have occurred, except exposing that lie with factual evidence IS a crime punishable by imprisonment.

Why should Jews get the only victim gold card?

[Wizard4169]

Better hope you get a "victim gold card" if you ever get your wish to criminalize lying. The next bit of "factual evidence" I see from you will be the first.

[Adans smith]

I deny that Canada exists.

[The Margrave of Azilia]

It's just an idea.

Working part-time, I bring home almost $14,000 per month. I was keen to find out after hearing several others describe how much money they were able to make online. Well, it all sb-02 came to pass and completely altered my life. Now, everyone needs to try this work by using this website. . . Detail Are Here———————————————————>>> workingbitecoin12.com

Might be a good time to offer statehood to the western provinces.

[Jerryskids]

Ha! Just saw an article this morning where they've found more unmarked graves. Of course, the First Nations people have a strict religious policy about not disturbing the resting place of the resting, so nobody is going to dig where the ground-penetrating radar shows anomalies that might possibly be graves. We're just going to count everything as graves, which suggests Canada may have as many as 12 trillion unmarked graves.

[Ben of Houston]

I have to agree, it's a bit of a catch-22. If one side won't allow even a potential grave to be disturbed, and the other side won't accept that it's a grave unless it's exhumed, then you are going to have a fundamental lack of data that people won't accept.

There has been more than one instance of an "unmarked grave" being a latrine or smuggler cache.

On the other hand, the evidence that at least some of these schools did have kids die is almost unquestionable. There are graveyards in the best schools of Britain from the era before vaccines, and the reputation of these institutions is closer to a workhouse.

Criminalizing disagreement, on the other hand, is going way too far.

[Vernon Depner]

Visit any old graveyard and you'll see that deaths of children were once far more common than they are today.

[Ajsloss]

"you’ll see that deaths of children were once far more common than they are today."

Maybe in the pre-covid world, but all the children died in 2020 (in case you've been living under a rock).

[Chuck P. (The Artist formerly known as CTSP)]

Just 200 years ago, 50% of all children in London died before the age of 5. It was actuaries selling burial insurance to factory workers that identified the correlation between the height that a family lived above the Themes and the death rate.

[cgr2727]

100% of the children born in the 18th century have died, and something like 99.99% of everyone born in the 19th century have died too. Where’s the outrage? Won’t someone think of the children?

[A Cynical Asshole]

Of course, the First Nations people have a strict religious policy about not disturbing the resting place of the resting, so nobody is going to dig where the ground-penetrating radar shows anomalies that might possibly be graves.

"Could be graves, could be buried treasure, could be where someone previously dug a hole for any number of reasons, but we're just going to assume whatever explanation makes white people look bad."

[SQRLSY One]

There will be no more holes dug (gas, oil, water, mining holes, open-pit mines) ANYWHERE in Canada, for fear of disturbing Native American graves!

This reminds me of a really strange or whacked-out book I read way back when... Funny as all git-out! FREE at http://www.rocketslinger.com/RocketManFiction/JurassicHordeWhispererOfMadnessCounty/ ...

It predicts that in the future, petrol will be off-limits totally, since burning or using it is HIGHLY disrespectful the the dinosaurs that died to make the petrol! Burning dead dinos is every bit as bad as burning Holocaust victims for fuel, etc.!

Here are some excepts from this book...

“Congress created NADGRAB, which is the Native American Dinosaurs Graves Restoration and Actualization Bureau. So now the NADGRAB police, called GRABBOIDS, for Graves Restoration Agents Bravely, Boldly Obliterating Indignities to Dinosaur Spirits, they go ‘round from store to store and house to house, ferreting out old oil cans, scraps of plastics, polyesters, gasoline, Vaseline, and Valvoline, and all other examples of corpse abuse. The only way you can get off the hook is to have expert Omnologists come in with their V-Meters and Ping Things and appease the spirits of the dinosaurs. Then you may continue to use your plastic spoons and forks, say, if you’re too poor to afford newer ones, which are guaranteed to be manufactured using methods that won’t anger the Ancestor Spirits.

“Since Congress has determined that dinosaur disrespect is a major crisis, NADGRAB has been tasked with ferreting out all petroleum addicts, who must then be thoroughly counseled by expert counselors, specially trained in treating dinosaur disrespect. And since all the oil companies are to blame for all this petroleum addiction in the first place, they obviously must pay for all their damages, all their wanton destruction, and the cost of all this expert counseling.

The USA has done some WAAAAY crazy things with respect to Native American graves!!! If you want the documented details, search within my link, and start reading at this heading (search strings):

"Chapter 20 Endnotes" ...or...

"Dianetics Therapy, “Voluntary” Therapy, NAGPRA, NADGRAB, GRABBOIDS, and Sacred Hairs."

You know who else fought to stop a big lie?

[Roberta]

Tiger Woods? Oh, wait, that was to prevent a bad lie.

[A Cynical Asshole]

I see what you did there.

*golf clap*

Stephen Austin?

Nina Jankowicz?

Apparently not enough victims to smear political enemies. Just make them up. Those making these "scientific" claims should be forced wear a sign or have swastikas tattooed to their forehead

[A Cynical Asshole]

They've been making up victims for a while now. Hell, that's half the point of the ever expanding alphabet soup people - to get as many people into the "victim" category as possible.

As for tattooing swastikas on their forehead, tattoos can be removed. I'd prefer something more permanent.

[Don't look at me!]

So it is written, so it shall be.

[Jerry B.]

The obvious solution is to humanely euthanize 215 First Nations children and bury them there.

[Vernon Depner]

As long as they're depressed, it's legal.

[Vernon Depner]

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

[TJJ2000]

Only Gov-Guns can teach the truth... /s
Reminds me of how only Gov-Guns can teach kids (US Commie-education).

[Mr. Wheat]

…glorious and free!

It's probably an old town cemetery, not just the school's cemetery.
