The Residential School Experiment on Millennials

I certainly hope you are familiar with the Aboriginal Canadian and American residential school system that was in place from the late 1800's until the 1970's. If you aren't I will give you a very brief outline of how the Canadian and American governments tried to exterminate the Native people and their culture in one of the most prolific genocides in human history. I will also draw a parallel to relate how this same idea is being executed today to weaken western society on a generational scale.

To solve the 'Indian Problem' as they put it, the US and CDN Federal Government set up a school system for Aboriginal children that was run by the Catholic and Anglican Church. In this system native children were taken from their homes by the police at gunpoint, any parent that would not comply were killed or imprisoned. The children where usually renamed, and officially adopted by the principal of the school, usually a priest or minister. The purpose of the schools was to 'take the Indian out of the Child'.

It is estimated that 50% of children that attended these schools did not survive. The children were kept in cramped, unsanitary, poorly ventilated conditions and often died of tuberculosis, small pox, measles, or the flu. The children that survived where subjected to unending physical, mental, and sexual abuse from the catholic and anglican caretakers. So for 10 generations this is how the future parents of native families were raised. As a result adult Natives are over represented in prison, have a drastically high suicide rate, and have higher rates of drug and alcohol abuse that any other group in both countries. A truly horrific chain of events.

What do Native residential schools have to do with today's millennial generation? A lot, let me explain. The residential school system was an social experiment with the expected result of unhinging the native communities, and the native culture. It was working. Although natives all over North America are tirelessly working to put the pieces back together, many native communities are not healthy. It will probably take the same 10 generations to heal them as it did to destroy them. I believe that same experiment has been quietly executed for the past 30 years on the white families of north america.

I will give you a little information about myself, and further explain my hypothesis. I am 44, born in 1973, my mother is of Irish decent (typical white Canadian) and my father is Native. My mother stayed home to care for my sisters and I while my father worked until I (the youngest) was 12, then she joined the work force. Basically we were a typical family in the 70's and 80's. During that time my government removed the gold backing from our currency, stopped lending itself interest free money for infrastructure, and began an endless system of over spending and increase the national debt to international central banks. Due to the ensuing inflation, by the late eighties it became necessary for both parents to earn an income in order to be a successful family. By necessity our children were not being raised by their parents anymore, but by a paid caretaker. Now of course there is no parallel to the extreme abuse that the native children suffered, nor the forceful way which native kids were taken, but the white children of the 90's, and 00's where taken from their parents to be raised by someone else nonetheless. Parallel results can also be observed, such as, increase in drug abuse, increase in suicides, decline of education, and one that I didn't see coming is the sexual confusion that is becoming increasingly prominent. (i think this is more a result of internet and the porn industry)

Our families today are not functioning like they did for thousands of years; parents are not raising their own children. Is this being done purposely to destroy that fabric of society? It's definitely something I think about. It is obvious from the Native example that the evil to purposely do something like this definitely exists. What would be the benefit for the 'powers that be' or 'the planners' to destroy western society? What will our society look like in 10 generations? I'm worried for my kids.

Let me know what you think...
