S5E76 | Kevin Annett - The Unyielding Voice Against Canada’s Hidden & Systemic Genocide of Children

Today I’m honored to introduce you all to: United Church Minister turned whistleblower, Canadian Hero, father of two, published writer and author, public speaker and podcaster, documentary filmmaker, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, co-founder of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, righteous soul, and Eagle Strong Voice: Kevin Annett

A United Church minister turned relentless whistleblower, Kevin stands as a towering figure in the fight for truth and justice. For decades, this Canadian hero we get to hear from today has fearlessly exposed the dark underbelly of his nation’s history - the systematic genocide of Indigenous children in church-run Indian Residential Schools. At immense personal cost, Kevin has become a beacon of hope for survivors, a thorn in the side of the powerful, and a catalyst for global awakening.

Born with a fierce sense of justice, Kevin’s journey began in the 1990s when, as a minister in Port Alberni, British Columbia, he uncovered harrowing accounts of abuse, murder, and cultural annihilation inflicted upon Indigenous children. What he discovered shattered his world: a deliberate campaign by church and state to erase a people, with a staggering 50% death rate in the schools - a truth later confirmed by the Globe and Mail in 2007. Unwilling to stay silent, Kevin embarked on a mission that would cost him his career, his family, and his reputation, but would also ignite a movement that could not be extinguished.

In 1998, Kevin convened the first independent Tribunal into residential school crimes in Vancouver, a groundbreaking effort that recommended genocide charges against Canada and its churches to the United Nations. He founded The Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada in 2000, authored the seminal book ‘Hidden from History: The Canadian Holocaust’ in 2001, and released the award-winning documentary ‘Unrepentant’ in 2007, which shocked the world with its raw testimonies and undeniable evidence. His work forced an official apology from the Canadian government in 2008, though the establishment quickly erased his name from the narrative.

Undeterred, Kevin went global. In 2010, he co-founded the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS), uniting survivors across 26 countries to hold the Vatican, the British Crown, and Canadian leaders accountable for crimes against humanity. His efforts led to the 2011 excavation of children’s bones at a mass grave in Brantford, Ontario, and the historic 2012 prosecution of Pope Benedict and others by the International Common Law Court of Justice. Kevin’s courage even sparked the resignation of Pope Benedict - a testament to the power of his unrelenting pursuit of justice.

Despite facing blacklisting, smear campaigns, and state persecution - including a fraudulent COVID isolation order in 2021 that saw his bank account and devices disabled - Kevin has never wavered. He has authored over a dozen books, including ‘Murder by Decree’, and founded the Republic of Kanata in 2015 as a sovereign alternative to Canada’s colonial regime. Nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize and for the Order of Canada in 2021, Kevin’s legacy is one of fearless resistance against tyranny and a call to action for humanity to confront its darkest truths.

Today, Kevin continues his fight, inspiring millions to join the movement to end genocide, child trafficking, and systemic oppression. His story is a testament to the power of one voice to change the world - a voice that refuses to be silenced, no matter the cost.
