We already had a topic about Prohibited Experiments on People in the USA, but I came across some more information that was new to me. What do you think, in what country and at what time is this possible - the law according to which only those who are born in a married marriage are recognized as legitimate children. What happens to the others?
Illegitimate under this law is one who was born into an ordinary family, but the parents are not married in the Catholic Church. These are Protestants, Orthodox Christians, atheists - it doesn't matter. Their child is removed from the family and sent to an orphanage.
The state pays a certain amount to the organization that runs the shelters - which doubles if the child is declared mentally ill. Is the corruption scheme clear? Orphanages are becoming homes for the mentally ill. Children in these orphanages are exploited in all respects - work, sexual, experimental. It is still not clear how much passed through this system of children's concentration camps. Numbers from 20 to 50 thousand are named.
So where and when was it?
No, this is not Nazi Germany. And not Spain of the Inquisition. Not Zimbabwe or Kampuchea. This is one of the most peaceful and prosperous countries in the world - Canada. Time of action - 1944-1959. The main character is Maurice Le Noble Duplessis.
In 1944, when Duplessis came to power in Quebec, he began to build a quasi-state under the slogan: "Heaven is blue, hell is red!" The Communist Party was banned, the rights of trade unions were restricted, and left-wing media were closed. But this leader talked a lot about the national pride of the French Canadians and the duty of good Catholics.
Here is what blogger lady_tiana writes based on materials prepared by Evgeny Lakinsky:
Promotional video:
Duplessis pursued a policy of so-called traditional nationalism. Citizens were required to be one hundred percent submissive to the requirements of the Catholic Church, loyalty to traditional values, and renunciation of any struggle for their rights.
Expressing the interests of the most conservative part of society, Duplessis opposed any social and cultural reforms. He tried to preserve the order of things that had existed for centuries: the French-Canadians had to remain illiterate, which means poor, be proud of their nationality and the feats of their ancestors, be good Catholics (under Duplessis, this meant unconditionally obeying any order of the priest, whatever it may be) and not love "Outsiders". The province was still governed by the old French Canadian elite and higher clergy. Duplessis pursued the Communists actively and selflessly, which, however, was then very fashionable in North America.
It wasn't all that much fun behind the scenes. Of course, Duplessis did not arrange mass executions, but he did carry out some "measures". If you have ever had a chance to hold a Quebec welfer request form, look at the item: Are you a Duplessis orphan? ". No, do not suspect the "father of the Quebec people" in having too many children. Everything is "more interesting" here. As you know, a good Catholic can have children only in marriage. If a woman gives birth to a child without being married, it is a sin. In many countries where the influence of the Catholic Church was most significant, illegitimate children were taken from their mothers and forcibly placed in monastery shelters. This practice, in particular, existed in France in the forties of the last century. But Quebec went further … Children were also taken from under-provided families,and unemployed parents. Subsequently, these children found themselves de facto expelled from society for a number of reasons.
First, the monasteries viewed orphans as free labor, and from an early age forced children to work on an equal basis with adults, to the detriment of education. At the same time, beatings were the most common thing, and the children were completely deprived of any contact with the outside world. Second, children were legally deprived of their inheritance rights after the death of their biological parents. The result of such "upbringing" was absolutely desocialized citizens, incapable of independent existence, and, moreover, deeply stigmatized by the status of "children of sin". But that was not all. At some point, many children were simply changed their documents, presenting absolutely healthy babies as mentally ill, and transferred to hospitals for working out a program of psychiatric experiments. More precisely, they didn't. Sold. The thing is,that funding for this kind of medical programs at that time was at a height, and the shelters were always short of money. So the illegitimate babies were exchanged for hard currency. And in some cases, they completely changed the status of the institution from a monastery shelter to a psychiatric clinic.
It was these children that eventually received the common name of Duplessis orphans. According to various sources, their number varied from 20 to 50 thousand people born between 1949 and 1959 and literally transformed into laboratory animals. By the beginning of the nineties, no more than 3 thousand people of them remained alive. Various powerful psychotropic drugs were tested on children, fixed in straitjackets for a long time, exposed to currents of different frequencies, attaching clips to nipples, while the child was crucified and fixed on a table covered with metal sheets. And many more were lobotomized.
The Canadian government allocated $ 1.25 a day for one orphan. If he was recognized as mentally unhealthy - $ 2.75. Duplessis did not even require surveys. One paper, a couple of signatures, and with a slight movement of the hand, the orphanage turned into a psychiatric hospital. And the psychiatry of those years was darkness and horror. A very bland description of what was there is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.
How many times did they show electroshock? One? Now imagine that a child, for example, from ten to eighteen years old, is doing this weekly. Just because he was born into the wrong family.
It was very convenient to test psychotropic drugs on orphans. Nobody will complain. And here is one more thing - tying for several days in a straitjacket. The most "violent" is a lobotomy. In those days it was done like this: first, anesthesia with electric shock. Then, with an ice pick (I'm not kidding, it was only by the end of the fifties that special tools were invented) pierced the bone of the eye socket, cut the fibers of the frontal lobes of the brain. Let me remind you that the whole illness of these children is only that they are not from Catholic families.
The result of a lobotomy is very unpredictable - epileptic seizures, loss of muscle control, incontinence, and, of course, death.
For reference: lobotomy as a method was discovered in 1936 in Portugal. From 1936 to 1949, Edgar Moniz conducted experiments on lobotomy. This cannot be called scientific research - it was a haphazard development of practice. Operations were not analyzed either by diagnosis or by consequences. Nevertheless, in 1949, Monesh received the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Since 1949, the lobotomy has walked triumphantly across … I mean, all over the planet; but no - exclusively for the countries of the Western world. In the United States alone, about 50,000 Americans have been lobotomized.
Moreover, the indications for her were not only psychoses, but also neuroses, and even depressive states. Lobotomy propagandist in the United States, Walter Jackson Freeman, drove the Lobotomobile and performed 3,500 operations on his own without having any surgical skills. A free man, a free country … Not like the totalitarian USSR, in which only 176 such operations were carried out, after which lobotomy was prohibited. And not because it is bourgeois - but because pseudoscience. Out of 176, only 8 cases showed a positive trend.
But back to Quebec. In addition to psychiatry, forced child labor was practiced in those shelters. Children deprived of parental care and recognized as mentally ill were used, on an equal basis with adults, in public works. Duplessis orphans were deprived of elementary legal rights. I'm not talking about voting and other ephemeral freedoms. These children could not inherit the property of their biological parents.
And sexual exploitation. Both boys and girls - no difference.
Upon reaching the age of 18, those who survived in these concentration camps were simply thrown out into the street. Absolutely not adapted to normal life. They didn’t even know how to ride the bus, not to mention more difficult things, such as getting a job.
Another quote from a blog post by lady_tiana:
Duplessis dies in 1959. His National Union party is losing elections to the Liberals. When they come to power in Quebec, they are horrified. And … And silence. The case is not disclosed, does not reach society. Evidence is destroyed, the shelters are dismantled. Timid sprouts of information appear only in 1989.
The whole story got publicized in 1989, when Radio Canada journalist Jeannette Bertrand invited several surviving orphans to take part in her program. Since then, the surviving orphans, having united in a committee of mutual assistance, seek justice. At first, the provincial government of Quebec refused, in principle, to recognize the very existence of such experiments. However, over time, the provincial and federal governments apologized to the orphans and even paid financial compensation to some of them, although they provided such a number of conditions that not everyone could get money. So far, no apology has been issued from the Catholic Church.
The victims of the concentration camps united in the organization "Orphans of Duplessis". Has the truth triumphed? No matter how it is! The Quebec government gravely acknowledged the righteousness of the remaining 3,000 people. Even appointed compensation. But the payments were arranged in such a way that it was almost impossible to break through the wall of bureaucratic procedures.
Welfer was not mentioned for nothing. Answer "yes" to the question: "were you a Duplessis orphan?" - you will be denied entry to Canada forever.
The Vatican still does not admit its guilt for the Canadian Catholic fanatics.
This is Canada. This is right after Nazi Germany was defeated. Western countries, proudly calling themselves the "countries of the first world" - this is the usual slave-owning, caste system, in which there is an elite, there are barbarians and there are helots.
