We have contacted most Governments, Security/Intelligence Agencies, Religious Organisations, International Organizations, Human Rights Organizations, Universities, Scientific and other Institutions, and the International Media all over the world - over and over and over again – and have had our appeals for assistance, protection and/or publicity almost completely ignored and/or suppressed. Some TARGETED INDIVIDUALS have been attempting to gain assistance, protection and/or publicity about these crimes since the 1990s - and even earlier - this extends as far back into the history of illegal ‘scientific and medical’ testing and experimentation as MKULTRA, COINTELPRO and the DUPLESSIS ORPHANS - and further. We are still collecting CASE SUMMARIES from TARGETED INDIVIDUALS all over the world, and we have also advised them to send them to you - “THE SELECTED WITNESSES” - TO WITNESS, RECORD AND OPPOSE so that :- A. -
Quebec to Give Duplessis Orphans a Public Apology Campbell Clark, National Post December 28, 1998
Quebec to Give Duplessis Orphans a Public Apology Campbell Clark, National Post December 28, 1998 Largest Youth Abuse Case: 3,000 survivors hope for financial compensation The Quebec government is to issue an apology over the treatment of the so-called Duplessis Orphans, who were interned in mental institutions in the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s after being abandoned by their parents, the National Post has learned. Those representing the estimated 3,000 surviving orphans hope the public apology by Lucien Bouchard, the Quebec premier, will be a first step in obtaining financial compensation similar to that offered to victims of abuse at the Mount Cashel orphanage in Newfoundland, and others who suffered similar treatment at institutions in other provinces. Hundreds of the Duplessis Orphans, so-named because Maurice Duplessis, the former Quebec premier, governed the province during most of the years of their internment, have reported harsh treatment and physical and sexual abuse in institutions run by Catholic religious orders. The allegations involved forced confinement, beatings, molestation and even rape. The episode is believed to be the largest case of institution- based youth abuse in Canadian history. Quebec’s College of Physicians has also, for the first time, agreed to express the medical profession’s “regrets,” and to launch a program to re-evaluate the cases of orphans who were falsely diagnosed as mentally retarded or mentally ill. The public apologies, expected to be made in January or February, will also involve correcting, where necessary, erroneous civil records, including birth certificates that may have wrongly listed the orphans’ parents as unknown. -

FROM THE DOOR OF THE ORPHANAGE TO THE DOOR OF THE SENATE MY ROOTS ARE STILL AND ALWAYS SHROUDED IN ANONYMITY by Diane Poitras MARCH 22, 2018 SENATE STUDY ON THE ADOPTION MANDATE IN POSTWAR CANADA FROM THE DOOR OF THE ORPHANAGE TO THE DOOR OF THE SENATE, MY ROOTS ARE STILL AND ALWAYS SHROUDED IN ANONYMITY The personal account of a postwar adoptee Diane Poitras, legal adoptive name Jeanne d’Arc Blondin, the fictitious name given to me when I was baptized at the Crèche de la Réparation orphanage in Pointe-aux-Trembles “Born to unknown parents” is my birth name under Quebec’s law on the confidentiality of adoption records. Believed born to a Polish immigrant who was pregnant when she arrived in Canada as a refugee, probably in 1948 or 1949 Hello, Thank you very much for inviting me here. My name is Diane Poitras. I am speaking to you today from the heart as an old orphan. To mark this occasion, I am wearing my orphan number, 6076, which I was given the day after I was born at the Crèche de la Réparation orphanage, where I was baptized with the fictitious name of Jeanne d’Arc Blondin. I was confined for 139 days in that sad, gloomy orphanage, where every second felt like a century, especially when I was crying from boredom. I wanted to die because I was so alone. One day, I smiled as sweetly as I knew how at two strangers who wanted to adopt a little girl. It was love at first sight. -

Carriere claimed that the nuns sold babies from $40 to $5,000 to poor people and $3,000 to $10,000 (equivalent to $8,000-$25,000 today) to rich people. The Sisters of Mercy alone made $5 million from this business, selling 50,000 babies. Carriere revealed tactics used to disguise the origins of the babies and how they were delivered to their adoptive parents. Since the nuns were in charge of most maternity wards, and Quebec’s birth registry was run by religious authorities, it was simple to change the babies’ name and religion to that of the adoptive parents. Even when they didn’t know who would be adopting the chil- dren, they still changed the name to make it impossible to trace the babies’ origins. The Sisters of Mercy had an internal system: to light. all babies born in January of an even year received the same name beginning with an A, in February, a name beginning with B, and “Sisters of Mercy” Baby so on. -

Publication from Truth to Reconciliation Were Neither Conceived Together Nor Designed for the Other’S Benefit
NOT THE MESSAGE BUT THE MESSENGERS Jim Logan 1993 Acrylic on canvas Shortly after my series on residential school abuse, entitled A Requiem for Our Children, which had a prolonged effect on me as most of that work was derived from interviews I did with former students, I painted this as a sort of conclusion, a closure for me of sorts. This painting is not so much against the teachings of Christ, but more about those who delivered his message, where the departure of goodness and holiness commences. There were people in charge of children where abuses under the guise of Christianity took Response, Responsibility, and Renewal and Responsibility, Response, place.
