Caught Between Two Worlds

I was just an infant when I was taken from my homeland of Canada’s First Nations. “Now I live as a foreigner to my people. The pain that is often spoken of that comes with such separation and loss is only dwarfed by the pain of being taken from the life you were born into and forced to live an alternate reality that shouldn’t exist. 

This is a perspective not brought up enough. However, it explains the common feeling of being caught between “two worlds” shared by many who are victims of this industry. The knowledge of the industry, its propaganda and the global child supply market along with my own first hand experience makes me a formidable threat to this trafficking scheme. It’s been my steadfast pursuit of the truth that has empowered me to raise my voice despite worldwide opposition.

. . .

From childhood innocence, to truth in adulthood, I have learned of horrifying atrocities committed in the name of “adoption” or rather the act of taking someone else’s child to own them. The issue of trafficking children is just scratching the surface to the other crimes against humanity resulting in large scale loss of human lives. Why don’t we bring up these crimes against humanity more? What are crimes against humanity? Am I a victim of one or more of these crimes? 

Examples of these crimes are: 

- Murder

- Extermination

- Enslavement

- Deportation or forcible transfer of population

- Imprisonment

- Torture

- Sexual violence

- Persecution against an identifiable group

- Enforced disappearance of persons

- The crime of apartheid

- Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health

How many of these are brought up by victims who may not identify them as crimes against humanity, who may not even see themselves as victims due to the brainwashing and propaganda? What are the news headlines saying these days? Murder - on a large scale, ie. unmarked mass graves filled with hundreds of children. Deportation - millions of commodified people are fighting for citizenship status and have been denied for decades. There is clear evidence of the religious persecution and cultural eradication of indigenous peoples around the world. Forcible transfer of millions of children in a global child supply market is certainly large scale. How many crimes against humanity on this list have been committed under the cover of “adoption”?

With all that I have learned, I have been able to affirm all the feelings I had 79 years ago as that infant. I am right to feel the outrage, the disgust, disappoitment, sadness, fear, and confusion with the injustice, deception, dehumanization, and exploitation. And on such a large scale to realize its not me that’s being silenced, it’s what I represent. Truth, freedom, the self-determined life. To an industry originated in human trafficking and child slavery, that has continued to use control tactics, coercion, force, I now represent exactly what it has tried desperately to keep from being revealed.

I have been freed from the propaganda, mind control, and brainwashing. I have freed myself from the narratives that are drilled into all of us. I am no longer that fearful little child. I am a crime fighter, a truth teller, a social justice activist, an industry disruptor. Rather than being praised and rewarded, I have been further exploited, dismissed, kicked to the curb, silenced, attacked, and isolated. This only indicates the times we are in and I am exactly where I need to be and saying exactly what needs to be said. The industry has done practically everything to not make me a threat. But I am still here. I will keep speaking up knowing that one day my voice will be joined by many others, which has already begun. 

At this point I want to be clear my intention is only to speak the truth about the crimes. As crimes, they need to be stopped - not changed, reformed, or made better nor more ethical. You stop crimes. As crimes against humanity, this is a major undertaking, but necessary. The murders must stop. The genocides must stop. The enslavement must stop. It’s time we all replace feeling afraid to tell the truth, to feeling empowered by the truth to stop these crimes. It’s time we shut down this industry for ourselves today and for future generations. I imagine how I may have looked in this picture if someone had spoken up for me.”
