Kevin Annett, a former United Church of Canada minister, describes a decades-long investigation into the systematic genocide of Indigenous children in Canadian Indian Residential Schools, the church-state-corporate cover-up that followed, and the international tribunal work that contributed to Pope Benedict XVI’s 2013 resignation; he connects these crimes to ongoing Vatican-China financial ties, Chinese resource extraction in Canada, Nazi scientists imported after WWII, MK Ultra mind-control experiments on Indigenous populations, and a spiritual dimension he describes as parasitic entities feeding on human vulnerability.
Kevin Annett’s background and entry into the residential school issue
Annett grew up in Western Canada, entered the United Church (largest Protestant denomination) in his late 20s with a community-ministry orientation, and was ordained in 1990.
He was sent to Port Alberni, Vancouver Island, in 1992 to revive a dying congregation (St. Andrew’s United Church) and noticed a stark apartheid-like separation: nearly half the local population was Indigenous, yet none attended church or worked in local businesses.
A retired Indigenous fisherman, Danny Gus, revealed the reason during a wedding ceremony: “They killed my best friend in that place and he’s buried in those hills out back and the whites know it. They don’t want us in their churches” — referring to the Alberni Indian Residential School next to Gus’s home.
Annett’s colleagues dismissed Indigenous accounts as lies; he received veiled threats about his young family but continued building the congregation from ~10 to ~100 attendees over two years.
Discovery of deliberate genocide in residential schools
Annett learned the United Church had inherited vast tracts of stolen Indigenous land through “clergy reserves” (200 acres granted to any missionary who pitched a tent) and was preparing a backroom deal to hand this land to MacMillan Bloedel (largest BC logging company) for a Weyerhaeuser takeover — violating church policy requiring return of such land.
When Annett wrote a letter citing church policy, the church moved to destroy him: they funded his wife’s divorce ($60,000+ in legal fees), publicly defrocked him (the only minister in United Church history to face a public show trial), and blacklisted him from all employment.
After his firing, Annett pursued a PhD at UBC and discovered the 1909 Dr. Peter Bryce report (commissioned by the Canadian government): Bryce found over 50% of children dying annually in residential schools, decade after decade, from deliberately spread tuberculosis and smallpox — healthy children locked in dormitories with the sick.
The Ottawa Citizen ran a front-page story November 15, 1907: “Schools Aid White Plague” describing a 69% death rate; “white plague” was the era’s term for tuberculosis.
Annett estimates 60,000–80,000 children died between 1891 and 1996 (when the last school closed); the average death rate in Auschwitz was ~25%, while Canadian residential schools sustained double that for decades.
The government and churches later created the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which admitted only 3,000 deaths — contradicting their own records of 50% annual mortality.
Church land theft, corporate deals, and Chinese resource control
The United Church’s land deal with MacMillan Bloedel/Weyerhaeuser was about “big money” and “genocidal history they don’t want to hear about.”
Annett traces a direct line: the 2014 Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA), signed by Harper and continued by Trudeau, removed limits on Chinese investment and allows Chinese security forces (including PLA) to be based in Canada.
China now controls the Prince Rupert superport (northwest BC, near Alaska) — the main export hub for BC/Alberta liquid natural gas — and has bought container operations all down the West Coast (Portland, Seattle).
Pope Francis visited BC in 2022; he and Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin met Chinese officials in Prince Rupert. The Vatican Bank signed an agreement underwriting China’s Belt and Road Initiative by over $1 trillion annually; in Ontario alone, $48 billion in highway construction feeds into resource corridors.
The Vatican Bank holds an estimated 80% of all global bank deposits (alongside the Bank for International Settlements in Geneva); China is the only country allowed to appoint Catholic bishops/cardinals.
Richard Fadden (former CSIS head) reported in 2010 that China had systematically infiltrated the BC government at decision-making levels; Canada now has more direct foreign investment from China than from the US.
International tribunal, Pope Benedict’s resignation, and Vatican structure
After being banned in Canada (media blackout, unable to rent rooms), Annett was invited to Ireland by survivors of Catholic institutions; they found identical patterns: medical experiments, sterilization, child trafficking in Catholic hospitals/orphanages.
They formed the International Tribunal of Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) in Dublin with survivors from six countries, legal advisers including Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón.
After international courts refused to hear cases against the Vatican, they convened a common-law court, subpoenaed Benedict XVI, Queen Elizabeth, and others; their non-appearance constituted admission of guilt under law.
57 jurors reviewed evidence for six months and returned a guilty verdict (crimes against humanity) with life sentences in absentia for Joseph Ratzinger and Elizabeth Windsor as individuals.
Six days before the verdict (February 2013), Benedict resigned — the first pope to do so in 600 years. Garzón confirmed Spain’s ambassador notified Benedict he faced arrest in Spain based on the tribunal’s evidence docket showing he ordered bishops worldwide to conceal child deaths, experiments, and trafficking.
Benedict never left the Vatican until his death; the Vatican is not a sovereign state under the 1933 Montevideo Convention (fails all four criteria) but operates as a “fairy tale state” protected by Italian government complicity.
The tribunal’s verdict has standing under international law, enabling other courts to issue arrest warrants — a “weapon” for ordinary people against institutional power.
Nazi scientists, MK Ultra, and mind-control experiments in Canada
Canada was the largest importer of Nazi scientists after WWII (more than the US or USSR); many SS doctors were given fake passports and placed in Indian hospitals built on military land to maintain secrecy.
Joseph Mengele allegedly worked in Woodstock, Ontario as an adviser to Indian hospitals; the Deschênes Commission whitewashed this. Survivors at Montreal’s Allan Institute reported seeing men with SS tattoos.
When Annett’s tribunal surfaced this in 1998, the Canadian government sealed all Indian hospital records in the National Archives two months later.
MK Ultra (CIA mind-control program, declassified 1977 via Church Committee) extended to Canada: Defense Research Board funded drug testing, pain-threshold experiments, and early neural-interface prototypes on Indigenous children in Indian hospitals.
Dr. Michael Persinger (Laurentian University, CIA-funded) created the “God Helmet” — separating brain hemispheres to induce sensed presence of a deity and directly alter reality perception.
Annett describes witnessing electronic mind-control effects: loyal supporters suddenly exhibiting 180-degree personality shifts, memory loss, and smearing former allies — consistent with electronic (not chemical) mind control achieving near-100% success by targeting brainwave patterns.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan (Trump’s preferred papal candidate) allegedly channeled $300+ million from Catholic Relief Services into Neuralink (brain-computer interface); the Vatican has long funded BCI research, tracing back to Eli Lilly’s 1936 Fund for Theological Education (funding seminaries in exchange for children for drug experiments).
Spiritual/demonic dimension and exorcism experiences
Annett describes a non-materialist reality: “no separation between the spiritual and the material”; spiritual entities feed on human vital energy, especially through vulnerability (trauma, addiction, pornography).
He participated in a traditional Indigenous cleansing (not Catholic exorcism) of a young boy with fetal alcohol syndrome exhibiting physical deformations (face expanding, eyes changing colors) over three days; the entity’s departure produced a “beautiful feeling… like life entering for the first time” but left claw marks on participants.
He once saw a fog-like substance congeal over a passed-out homeless man in a Vancouver stairwell; he felt pushed back and received the impression: “This thing’s eating him… it’ll kill you if you come near it.”
In Rome (October 11, 2009), Annett performed a memorial ceremony in St. Peter’s Square and impulsively called out “the entity of the angel of Rome” (biblical term for an overarching territorial spirit); police walked past as if he were invisible.
Next morning, a tornado hit Rome for the first time in 48 years; that same week, European press began reporting Ratzinger’s role in concealment. Annett sees this as cause-and-effect: naming truth exposes and weakens the controlling entity.
He references Psalm 115: “Whoever worships dead idols will become one” — applying it to technological idolatry (AI, neural implants) and religious complicity.
Current Indigenous conditions, media control, and blacklisting
Indigenous people in Canada remain wards of the state under the Indian Act (unique race-based legislation illegal under international law); on-reserve life is tightly controlled (cannot renovate homes without permission, band councils are government-controlled).
Off-reserve Indigenous people have no benefits and face police violence with impunity (e.g., officer fired 13 rounds into a homeless man, never reprimanded).
1996 Globe and Mail front page: “School’s electric chair haunts natives” — eyewitness account of children electrocuted in a Catholic school for visiting dignitaries’ entertainment. Zero protests, zero parliamentary objection, zero media follow-up.
2024: Annett invited to speak to Vancouver high school teachers; principal ejected him after 20 minutes citing “Vancouver School Board issue” — 30 years after his initial work.
KPFA (Berkeley, oldest US public radio) cut his interview in 2021 when he mentioned Chinese control of the West Coast; Democracy Now consistently ignores his work.
Canadian media is corporate-controlled; Trudeau government allowed public radio buyouts. Social media control likely mirrors or exceeds US repression.
Native witnesses who speak out face death (seven in Vancouver alone: beaten by police, died in prison, arsenic poisoning); William Combes (witnessed Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip take 10 children from Kamloops school in 1964) died two days before testifying in London — nurse noted arsenic symptoms, official cause: tuberculosis.
Building alternatives: common law courts and assemblies
Annett’s current work focuses on helping communities establish common law courts and assemblies — not just survivor support but structural alternatives so “this doesn’t happen to our own children and grandchildren.”
He has written 28 books (all on Amazon under “Kevin Annett”), including Murder by Decree (358 eyewitness testimonies — Nuremberg had 32), a whistleblower survival manual, and common law training guides.

Patreon Q&A highlights
On “no bodies found” denialism: RCMP and churches ran a 60-year campaign (since early 1960s) to exhume and destroy graves; 1949 letter from Brantford school principal: “run out of space to bury the children… bury them two or three to a grave.” Incineration was common. Annett’s digs (with elders’ approval) at Brantford and two BC sites recovered human bones confirmed by Smithsonian pathologist Dr. Don Ortner. The denial movement is government-sponsored domestic holocaust denial.
On working in Canada: “It’s my home… I have a moral obligation.” A handful forced truth into the open — “quite a miracle.” New docuseries planned documenting 1998–2015 achievements.
On other whistleblowers: Native people on the ground speak out constantly at mortal risk; no legal protection outside the band council system (90% are outside it). Academic world is totally whitewashed; Annett remains under permanent blacklisting.
