The Conservative Cave

Henry Nowak, the British college student murdered by a Sikh man who was allowed to carry a ceremonial knife, died while handcuffed because he was white and British, and his killer was a Sikh who accused him of racism.

He was murdered because he was white, and the police, who arrived while he was still alive, handcuffed him, scoffed at his knife wounds, and watched him die as they read him his rights.

All because his murderer, who took the time to call his family, who helped him hide the evidence, asserted to the police that Nowak was racist. The police actually have a policy to immediately investigate charges of racism made against white people, and they immediately prioritized that over helping Nowak.

They didn't call for an ambulance until he was dead. Later, of course, they discovered that the accusation was baseless.

NOW: The area around ICE Newark is DEAD SILENT after NJSP FORCED rioters out of the area

Tens of THOUSANDS of dollars worth of supplies are just abandoned outside the facility.

It is genuinely mindblowing how much money is poured into riot supplies.

Five years ago, a moral panic gripped Canada over a story that was obviously fake but that so perfectly confirmed the biases of anti-Catholic liberals, no one in the media or the political establishment bothered to check its veracity.

This of course was the hoax about the purported discovery of “mass graves” of indigenous children at what was once a government boarding school run by the Catholic Church. In late May 2021, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation claimed that ground-penetrating radar had revealed hundreds of graves near the site of a former school in Kamloops, British Columbia. Tribal leaders cited the radar survey as proof that scores of indigenous Canadian children had been buried in unmarked mass graves at the school.
...
There were a million reasons to be skeptical of the story when it first appeared, not least of which was the preliminary nature of the findings and the fact that the site in question had not been excavated for human remains. But major corporate media outlets like The New York Times, CNN, NPR, and The Globe and Mail simply repeated the central claim as fact, stating unequivocally that the remains of 215 children had in fact been found at Kamloops. CNN called it a “gruesome discovery.” The Washington Post said the mass graves story had “dragged the horror of Canada’s mistreatment of Indigenous people back into the spotlight.”

The only problem was that it wasn’t true. There were no mass graves, no gruesome discovery, and no conspiracy of bigoted Catholic schoolmasters. That much has been obvious for years, if it wasn’t obvious enough when the story first appeared. Only now, five years later, The Globe and Mail, one of the major media outlets that helped perpetrate the hoax, has published an editorial mea culpa on the entire affair.
...
So far, The Globe and Mail is the only media outlet that has owned up to its role in perpetrating what amounted to a blood libel against the Catholic Church. In 2024, I wrote about how no human remains had ever been exhumed from the sites of the purported mass graves, despite millions of dollars spent looking for them. Two years later, that’s still the case.
...
In the meantime, vigilante violence broke out across the country. Dozens of Catholic churches were set ablaze by arsonists or vandalized in the wake of the Kamloops story, including historic churches that belonged to indigenous congregations, as well as churches that had no connection whatsoever to the residential schools. The ones that weren’t burned to the ground often had “charge the priests” scrawled in red paint on the walls. Trudeau said nothing. Most local authorities said nothing. The executive director of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association posted on X, “Burn it all down.”

Ironically, while this anti-Catholic hysteria unfolded there was an effort underway to criminalize dissent on the question of the residential schools. Indigenous rights activists demanded a law criminalizing what they called “residential school denialism” and categorizing it as hate speech. One member of Parliament, Leah Gazan, actually introduced a bill to that effect. In 2023, two years after the initial claims, the Trudeau government’s “special interlocutor for missing children and unmarked graves and burial sites associated with Indian residential schools” released a report calling for “urgent consideration” of civil and criminal penalties for “denialism,” citing laws passed in some countries that criminalize Holocaust denial.
