The Anatomy of a Character Assassination

“In ten years, nobody’s going to remember your name, and if they do, they’ll be afraid of it.” – RCMP Inspector Peter Montague to Kevin Annett, May 9, 2008

“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” – Mark Twain

It’s rare to meet a self-admitted black operative. But I did, on July 6, 2003.

His name was Dennis Tallio and he was a west coast Heiltsuk native. During 1998, he was part of Kevin Annett’s early efforts to expose the murder of children in the infamous death camps Canada still calls ‘Indian Residential Schools’. Then Dennis was convinced to publicly slander Kevin in return for cash.

“It was no big deal,” Dennis told me when I interviewed him in Vancouver’s downtown eastside. “We were all told that we could make money if we turned against Kevin. We had to say he was abusing us and ripping off our stories as residential school survivors.”

“Was he?” I asked him.

“No way. He was a straight shooter. But money is money.”

“Who paid you, Dennis?”

“It was all coming through the native liaison society with the VPD (Vancouver Police Department). A guy named Bobby Joseph.”

The Robert Joseph in question is today one of Canada’s chief “apples”, to employ native street parlance. Recipient of the Order of Canada and honorary doctorates, Bobby is a particularly successful “good Indian” who lucratively preaches Christian Canada’s gospel of “reconciliation” as part of its erasure of its torture and mass murder of generations of brown children.

Clearly, character assassinations pay well; at least, for the ones engineering them. Dennis Tallio didn’t fare as well as Bobby Joseph. After blackening Kevin’s name all over the native world, Dennis ended up dead in a Vancouver skid row hotel room in October 2003, not long after I had spoken to him. His official cause of death was listed as “unknown”.

The Big Lie is as old as humanity and always sounds the same. The targeted person is labeled as someone with a “bad reputation” or some other unspecified evil. He is besmirched by unnamed people who have been “harmed” by him, without any details ever being provided. 

Rumors like these are like a virus: its source is invisible, but it spreads exponentially until it becomes normative and untraceable. Like the crime that the lie is concealing, it becomes institutionalized.

Exactly this sordid method has been levelled against Kevin Annett since June of 1998, initially by RCMP Inspector Peter Montague and his allies among officials of the United Church of Canada. The people who have been primarily targeted by this ‘bad jacketing’ operation include Kevin’s allies, progressive activists, scholars, native people, Christians, and the media.

The evidence of a black operation as huge as the one conducted against Kevin Annett for over a quarter century is as prevalent as the crime Kevin has fought to expose. But as with the ‘Indian residential school’ massacre, the eyewitnesses know they won’t live long if they talk about it. At least that’s true for indigenous witnesses, who are not citizens under Canada’s apartheid ‘Indian Act’ and can be snuffed out without a legal consequence.

For most white Canadians, it’s a question of not wanting to know about their homegrown massacre of native children and believing any lie that helps them in their denial: like the officially sanctioned lie that Kevin Annett is “a con man who hurts people”. To quote the man who created that fabrication, RCMP Inspector Peter Montague, “Discredit Annett and you discredit the issue.” (August 2, 1998)

Over more than forty years of journalism, I’ve learned that the fear generated against someone increases in direct proportion to the threat that person poses to vested interests. That’s perhaps self-evident. But when normally rational and ‘awake’ people automatically regurgitate the fear and smear rhetoric about Kevin without even knowing him, it’s obvious that the Big Lie is coming from the same source and is employing brainwashing techniques that are very powerful and permanent.

I’ll come back to that, because it’s at the heart of the problem. But for new readers, let me rewind the tape to what began Canada’s permanent black operation against Kevin Annett, and why it’s continuing. I describe this more thoroughly in my article Erasing the Erasure: On the Trail of Canada's Biggest Cover Up - Salem-News.Com. In a nutshell, this saga began about the land, big money, and dead little Indians, but it eventually led to something much bigger.

In hindsight, it was not surprising that the United Church of Canada fired Kevin Annett without cause and stripped him of his livelihood after he blew the whistle on that church’s theft of west coast native land and murder of residential school children. (www.murderbydecree.com) But then for church officials to pay Kevin’s wife to divorce him and rob him of his children with the help of Family Court judges and the RCMP meant that he was suffering more than your usual slam-dunking of an inconvenient whistleblower.

The rapid savaging of his name, reputation, and employability by the United Church during this period (1995-1997) kicked off an even broader black operation by the Canadian government after Kevin convened the first public tribunal into Indian residential schools in June 1998. Like the crimes in those facilities, this black operation against Kevin and his work was a joint church and state action from the beginning. (1)

In the spring of 2008, I received confirmation of this coordinated campaign from a senior source in the government. A retired civil servant described to me a secret directive that was issued by Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s office on August 12, 1998, soon after Kevin’s Tribunal concluded in Vancouver. The directive ordered the RCMP to conduct covert surveillance and disruption of Kevin and his work and to “neutralize” native people working with him. Indeed, seven indigenous members of Kevin’s network subsequently died from conspicuous foul play. (2)

A former Canadian Security Intelligence (CSIS) agent named Grant Wakefield also confirmed these black operations when I interviewed him early in 2017. Significantly, Wakefield had first heard of the government’s campaign against Kevin during his penetration of the infamous killing zone known as Piggy’s Palace in Coquitlam, B.C.

“In the summer of 2010 on his Vancouver Co-op Radio show, Annett interviewed two native women who’d been taken to Piggy’s Palace by the Mounties. They said they saw girls get killed there. They told him they’d seen several senators and a former PM involved in the killings. I told my boss about this, but he said I couldn’t mention Annett in my report because he was on a ‘scrub list’ from the PMO (Prime Minister’s Office). Soon after that the feds booted Annett off the air of Co-op Radio and blackened him all over Vancouver.” (3)

These covert acts were accompanied by a total media blackout on Kevin that began as part of the government’s spin and coverup fiasco known inaccurately as the ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission.’ After the feds’ pseudo ‘apology’ for the residential school genocide on June 11, 2008, Kevin’s name, evidence, and campaigns were censored from all mainstream media, in the manner of a banned person in apartheid South Africa. 

This erasure was supplemented by a massive misinformation attack on Kevin over the internet that intensified when he expanded his work to America and Europe after 2009.

Despite all these attacks, Kevin and a handful of native people had won a major victory during 2008 when they forced Canada’s public admission of genocide. Kevin continued to score such successes in Europe, helping force Pope Benedict and three Cardinals out of office early in 2013 as part of the verdict of an international common law court he helped create.

As well, Kevin sparked the movement to establish a Republic in Canada early in 2015 in the wake of the court verdict’s lawful disestablishment of crown authority. (4)

At that point, Kevin’s Church and State enemies employed the desperate, last-ditch method of ‘Night and Fog’ to deal with him. Rather than kill him and create a martyr, thereby drawing attention to what he unearthed, they simply erased his memory and daily existence from the public consciousness. They did so by means of the mind-altering cyber technology that now monitors and directs the thoughts of most of humanity.

Many novice, self-styled “truthers” pride themselves on their knowledge of this technology and its use as a bioweapon. But their awareness arose mostly in response to the global outbreak of the alleged ‘COVID’ pandemic in the spring of 2020, which is popularly perceived as when the problem began.

In truth, the human mind has been under sustained cybernetic assault for decades, as leading neuroscientists like Dr. Michael Persinger warned us in 2009:

“Within the last two decades the power has emerged to influence directly the six billion brains of the human species, without mediation through sensory modalities, by generating neural information within a physical or electronic medium within which all members of the species are immersed.” (my emphasis)

Kevin Annett was on to this fact as early as the spring of 1998. In his research and interviews with native survivors, Kevin helped to expose how the prototypes of directed energy weapons were first developed through the grisly experiments conducted on native children in the ‘Indian residential schools’ and hospitals; and how these weapons were first deployed and tested on indigenous people to alter their thoughts, memories, and emotions.

Kevin publicly exposed this mind-controlling weaponry during the mid-1990’s, just as it was being deployed against the general populace through the “World Wide Web” internet. This explains in part the sustained nature of the black operations conducted against him by Canada and the Vatican. The latter has funded the development of this bioweaponry in league with pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, Glaxo, and Eli Lilly: the same corporations that for many years experimented on and killed generations of ‘Indian residential school’ children. (www.murderbydecree.com)

Knowing this, it’s hardly surprising that these genocidal corporations have relied on their mind controlling weaponry to achieve what years of smears and attacks against Kevin could not: the complete erasure of Kevin’s work and his permanent demonization in the public mind. The speed with which initially supportive people are routinely turned away from and then against Kevin has become truly breathtaking. Kevin calls it “the light switch treatment.”

“It’s not like a typical smear or subliminal messaging, where some people are influenced by it and others aren’t. Now, everybody’s attitudes are permanently changed. A group will invite me to speak and then a day later will revoke the offer without an explanation or any further contact. Then they’ll start circulating the standard lies about me. It happens one hundred percent of the time now, but only when our communication is through the internet, which is a clue. That switching on and off has intensified since COVID and the nanoparticle injections.”

The fact that the internet and iPad users are not in control of their own thoughts and feelings and are not bothered enough by this to stop using those devices is equally instructive. It suggests how complete is our captivity to this latest bioweapon and its ability to modulate thoughts to turn people against proven truth tellers like Kevin Annett.

Just before I started writing this piece, I was contacted by a woman named Florence Halama, who worked as a secretary at the Vancouver Police Department when its native puppet Robert Joseph was paying Dennis Tallio to throw mud at Kevin.

In the spring of 2005, soon after Kevin’s group began holding protests at the genocidal Catholic, Anglican, and United churches in Vancouver, Florence was present at a meeting of senior RCMP and VPD officials. They were discussing their media strategy concerning the growing numbers of missing indigenous women, and specifically, how to conceal the fact the local cops were involved in those disappearances.

According to Florence,

“It was the first time I’d heard Kevin’s name mentioned. A VPD guy, I think his name was Stuart something, was saying that the church protests were dangerous and should be monitored. But then a Mountie who I didn’t know said not to worry because over six million dollars had already been spent to shut down Kevin and his people. He said it was one of the biggest ‘scrub’ jobs in their history to date and it would continue as long as Kevin did.” (5)

Thankfully, Kevin remains not only active in the face of this Orwellian behemoth that he has battled for thirty years but remarkably determined and confident. His words are like an epitaph.

“No enemy is ever as powerful as the image it projects of itself,” he said to me recently. “What may seem like mind control is just as much peoples’ indifference to things that don’t affect them personally. Like a Big Lie, brainwashing only works when people allow it to work. Child murder and genocide in our own backyard is never a popular issue and we’ve never had much support on the ground for our campaigns. But despite that, we’ve had a huge impact and we’ve shown where the system is vulnerable. That should give people confidence and the will to fight the beast, which is why the history of what we’ve achieved is so censored and distorted. We’ve knocked down Goliath a few times and that has him scared. He’s only as powerful as we allow him to be by believing his lies.”
