I will always wonder why “any wild claim made by an Indigenous person, whether the math makes sense or not (i.e. “every family had four or five children go missing in that school”) is dutifully amplified by the media with no questions asked.” The unverified and unbelievable story of a mass grave in Kamloops of secretly buried children, some as young as three, was broadcast around the world though not a single child ever went missing and not a single body was indeed found. Why do mainstream media and government get away with such blatant propaganda, and how close is Canada to Orwellian thought control?

Another brilliant, insightful and articulate article doomed to be ignored by those who would profit most by reading it. The constant bombardment of these stories since 2021 has led me to appreciate the veracity of Nazis Propaganda Minister, Joseph Goebbels statement that, the bigger the lie the more believable. What is certain and believable is that stories like TB infected milk has certainly become the cash cow for many indigenous activists who have discovered that speaking with forked tongue is very profitable.
