I think most of what's alleged by this guy is true.
- genocide? Yeah. Official 50% annual kill rate at these residential schools according to documents.
- Deliberate distribution of blankets infected with smallpox to indigenous people? According to Ask Cecil, General Amherst did discuss this in letters to a subordinate.
- rape, murder, physical abuse, etc? Yeah, I can see it.
- plots to steal land from indigenous tribes? Yeah, probably. Isn't that the history of north america?
- children forcibly separated from their parents? Yup, it was the law. The motherfugging law. Unreal.
- forced sterilizations? No argument - this was done to caucasian and native populations alike throughout the 20th century to undesirables, and is well documented.
However, there are other opinions on Mr. Annett
As I watched the video, I wondered if some of the details of what people were saying - electric needles, whips with knives on the ends - were a bit clouded by memory or embellished. But I mean, these are small things, compared to the preponderance of evidence.
Also, some of what Annett alleges about the United church doesn't add up - they offered to help his wife with the divorce? You don't just get a divorce because a church administrator suggests you divorce your husband.
Also, the details of the United church hearings in the documentary are sketchy at best. There's more details in the official record, and fewer details in Kevin's account. In my experience, the one who doesn't want to spell out details of what happened is the one who's withholding or distorting the story.
Combine this with the fact that Annett allowed himself to be interviewed by Jeff Rense - a guy who's somewhere between Alex Jones and David Icke on the barking insanity scale, and things
