This is an official court transcript and as such a public record that may not be tampered with or altered.

Judge Laura Standing Bear presiding.

The opening session of the State’s case against the defendants commenced at 9:03 am on January 13, 2021 in the Peoples’ Hall of Justice.

………………………………………………………………………………..

The Court: Is the State ready to present its case?

Peoples’ Prosecutor: Yes, citizen judge. I’ll dispense with our opening statement which was made last week in pre-trial depositions. I call our first witness: the former Prime Minister of the former state known as Canada, citizen Steven Harper.

A disturbance in court.

The Court: I remind those in attendance that this court will be conducted with dignity and due process. Comments like those, while understandable, will not be tolerated.

The witness is sworn in.

Prosecutor: State your name, occupation and residence.

Witness: I am … my name is Steven Harper. I live, well, here in Winnipeg, now.

Laughter in court.

Prosecutor: And your occupation?

Witness: Now, well, I work as a helper at the Group Home on Sherbrooke street …

Prosecutor: That would be the Dumont Recovery Centre?

Witness: Yeah … that’s right.

Prosecutor: And prior to your work there, citizen?

Witness: I was, uh, at Stony Mountain Penitentiary.

Prosecutor: Correct. For the past three years, in fact. Now citizen Harper: can you tell us in your own words why you think you’re appearing in this court today?

Witness: Oh … Well, that’s open to interpretation …

Prosecutor: Hardly, citizen. You have already been tried and found guilty in another court for complicity in crimes against humanity, and for treason. Isn’t that correct?

Witness: I suppose.

Prosecutor: You are here today, citizen Harper, as an expert witness in the most important human rights case ever brought before our Republic: the concealment of mass murder and genocide against our nations. Do you deny this?

Witness remains silent.

The Court: The witness is obliged to answer.

Witness: I don’t deny it, no.

Prosecutor: So let me begin by asking you to describe your personal knowledge of the cabinet decision of April 28, 2007, in which your government launched something called a “Truth and Reconciliation Commission”. Do you recall that?

Witness: Yes.

Prosecutor: Citizen Harper, tell the court the purpose of that Commission. And please, spare us the official line.

Witness: Well, the initiative for that didn’t come from us, at all, really. It was a recommendation from the Privy Council, from London, and naturally from the churches …

Prosecutor: I didn’t ask you who was to blame, citizen. We’ll get to that. I asked you to describe its purpose.

Witness: We called it information control. An official response to criminal acts in the Indian residential schools was needed.

Prosecutor: Why was that?

Witness: People were talking …

Prosecutor: About the death of children …

Witness: Exactly. They were starting to name names of alleged killers. Senior men; men with reputations. We needed to head things off with a centralized inquiry …

Prosecutor: Head things off. By that you mean stop the truth from emerging?

Witness: Certain truths, yes.

Prosecutor: Like?

Witness: Compromising evidence about, well, actions which could be interpreted as being even more than criminal …

Prosecutor: Genocidal?

Witness: Well, that’s a loaded term.

Prosecutor: But accurate, in this case?

Witness: I suppose.

Prosecutor: There’s no supposition involved. In 1907, the so-called Crown of England laid out a plan to wipe out our native nations under the guise of these so-called Indian residential schools. And yet your “official” inquiry into this had as its purpose containing the full truth of the disappearance of at least 50,000 children …

Witness: Not just us. The churches were pushing for it.

Prosecutor: Yes, you mentioned that. And the Privy Council … the so-called Crown of England?

Witness: Of course. The churches appointed the Commissioners. London approved them too.

Prosecutor: Much like a criminal choosing his own judge and jury. (pause) So what was your joint plan for this TRC, citizen?

Witness: To control the information, like I said. We had our own version of the schools, a whole bunch of professors we hired to spin the whole thing not as genocide but, I think we called it, “a sound education policy towards the Indians gone wrong”.

Prosecutor: And you expected people to believe that?

Witness: Well, why wouldn’t they?

Prosecutor: Citizen, I’m reading from a cabinet document from that time, minutes from your first meeting about the TRC, actually. At one point, you comment to your Indian Affairs minister, a Mr. Prentice, “we’ll have everyone believing these schools were a good thing, by the time we’re through.” Prentice, to his credit, replies, “But sir, how do you conceal all those graves? The death records are out there now. We’ll look like we’re covering it up” And you respond, “Not a cover up. Jim. Just containment. The usual protocol. The Force has never let us down.” (pause) What did you mean by that?

Witness: I can’t remember very clearly …

Prosecution: By “the Force”, you meant the former RCMP, did you not?

Witness: Yes. With some help from the CSIS spooks.

Prosecution: We have their archives. We know how both of those agencies went about “containing” issues. It’s quite an impressive list … even to the point of eliminating news reporters and burning down buildings. But maybe you’d like to comment what the RCMP had to do with this TRC of yours.

Witness: You might ask them. I wasn’t privy to their special ops.

The State: Citizen Harper, you must answer to the best of your recollection.

Witness: Honestly, I don’t know, except to say that they had their people in among the TRC Commissioners, monitoring the forums, and weeding out trouble spots.

Prosecution: Weeding out?

Witness: Yes.

Prosecution: Can you give us an example?

Witness: Well, the people who wouldn’t play ball. The witnesses who tried naming names or telling where the children had been buried. They were, uh, discouraged.

Prosecution: How?

Witness: Threats, or the usual bribes. Dirty tricks. But when that didn’t work, more direct measures were used.

Prosecution: How more direct?

Witness: Whatever it took.

Prosecution (to The Court): Citizen judge, I’d like to switch gears for a moment because this is very relevant to our broader case.

The Court: Proceed.

Prosecution: Citizen Harper, were you aware of an internal document from your cabinet known as CS 101, issued by the so-called Privy Council office of the former government of Canada on March 13, 2008?

Witness: I was aware of it, yes.

Prosecutor: In what capacity?

Witness: As the Prime Minister. I attended the Privy Council meeting in an ex-officio capacity.

Prosecutor: Meaning, you couldn’t vote?

Witness: No.

Prosecutor: Interesting. Go on.

Witness: The document was also called PC 3909X.

Prosecutor: Was that a standard designation for a Privy Council document?

Witness: No. Any document designated ‘X’ meant that it was never to be published or even filed.

Prosecutor: A secret document?

Witness: Yes.

Prosecutor: Describe the contents of CS 101, known also as PC 3909X.

Witness: Well, it was part of something our cabinet had begun the previous year, after consulting our City of London counterparts …

Prosecutor: When, exactly?

Witness: In early May of 2007, after the Merasty thing …

Prosecutor: Merasty?

Witness: He was an MP from Saskatchewan. He was the first one to raise the matter of missing residential school children in the House question period.

Prosecutor: To be clear, that would be the late Gary Merasty of the Cree Nation?

Witness: Yes.

Prosecutor (to The Court): Citizen judge, I wish to retain this witness for separate examination about the death of Mr. Merasty.

The Court: Granted.

Witness: I don’t know anything about that …

Prosecutor: Citizen Harper, continue your description of CS 101.

Witness: Alright. Our cabinet came up with a plan we called the CS program, after the mortality in the residential schools became widely known, and the other things ….

Prosecutor: CS?

Witness: It stood for Clean Sweep. It built on previous information control operations done by the Mounties, but it went much further.

Prosecutor: This was in addition to your TRC containment operation?

Witness: Nobody ever trusted the TRC, not really. There were too many uncertainties about opening even part of the residential schools history to public scrutiny. We couldn’t predict what might come out. So CS 101 was our insurance policy. It authorized extreme measures to keep the whole thing buried.

Prosecutor: By ‘the whole thing’, you mean what?

Witness: By god, you know what I’m talking about … those damned places!

Prosecutor: We’re still talking about the Christian internment camps your government called Indian residential schools, correct?

Witness: Yes. Obviously.

Prosecutor: And what were the extreme measures sanctioned by CS 101?

Witness: Everything. Anything that would keep it out of sight and mind.

Prosecutor: Such as?

Witness: Black ops. Fake media accounts and scam releases. Misinformation. Destruction of evidence. Silencing of witnesses …

Prosecutor: Silencing?

Witness: Yes.

The Court: The witness will clarify his meaning.

Witness: Anybody who had witnessed murders, or burials, or other things that might point to genocide – well, they were to be stopped.

The Court: Clarify.

Witness: Bribed. Threatened. If that didn’t work, eliminated.

Prosecutor: Killed?

Witness: (long pause) Yes.

Prosecutor: And this policy was approved by your cabinet, and you?

Witness: Unofficially, yes. There was too much at stake.

Prosecutor: Indeed. (pause) Now citizen, in your opinion, was CS 101 implemented successfully?

Witness: I would say so. At least, at first. But the whole issue was too big to contain. Too many people had started talking. Eyewitnesses. Even the children’s graves were being opened up by some local Indian tribes. Besides, the world knew about it after that fucking documentary film got out …

The Court: There will be no swearing in this court, citizen.

Witness: Sorry.

Prosecutor: So how long did you continue CS 101?

Witness: It was never formally discontinued. Some rogue elements in CSIS continued doing their own private operations, even after our government fell …

Prosecutor: After the first Kanata referendum?

Witness: No, no, when we declared the Emergency Measures Act, just after the referendum results were announced, you know, back in 2015.

Prosecutor: Yes, the dissolution of Parliament and the Constitution. Who can forget? (pause) So even during all the troubles that followed, leading up to our revolution, citizen, your special CS 101 operations continued?

Witness: Well, yes, naturally, especially because of all the trouble. The special ops broadened. Everybody in Ottawa was panicking, especially the Mounties, who had the most to lose. The last thing we wanted was for all of that garbage to be made known.

Prosecutor: But it was made known, wasn’t it?

Witness: Eventually. Some of it, at least.

Prosecutor: There is more?

Witness: A lot of things were destroyed. Death records. Forensic reports. All the human remains we had, and what was in the church crypts …

Prosecutor: Crypts?

Witness: That was their word for it, not mine. (pause) The churches retained physical specimens of children beneath many of their largest residential schools, especially those connected to the Indian hospitals. They held them in these sub-basement vaults they called crypts. There was a big, old one under that Anglican school in Brantford. I assumed there was some cultic, sacrificial significance to all that, but I never bothered inquiring …

Prosecutor: Never bothered?

Witness: Of course not. We’re talking about the Vatican, and their partners.

Prosecutor: Go on.

Witness: There were many human experiments in the schools, of course, especially after the Paperclip era, all the military interest in getting healthy human specimens. Drug testing, skin grafting, sterilizations, plus the usual child trafficking. We inherited all that, we didn’t start it. But it left a lot of corpses to dispose of, frankly, along with all the kids dying of the usual stuff, diseases, starvation. The Mounties handled much of the body disposals, along with private contractors, and their specialists … it wasn’t a problem until the Merasty thing, and the Mohawk reclamation digs …

Prosecutor: Tell us about that.

Witness: There never was a Crown treaty covering the Mohawks, so we’d have sparked an international incident if we’d have forced our way onto the Brantford site, where those digs began on Mohawk land … we were really in a jam …

Prosecutor: Are you referring to the excavations of 2012? At the so-called Church of England school in Brantford, Ontario called the Mush Hole?

Witness: I’m sick of that word.

Prosecutor: Was CS 101 deployed against the Mohawks?

Witness: Big time. But it didn’t stop them, completely.

Prosecutor: Why not?

Witness: Again, too much international exposure. It was all over the internet. Plus some smart asses in the EU took notice and sent their own investigators over to Brantford.

Prosecutor: Did your program kill any Mohawks at that time?

Witness: Yes.

Prosecutor: How many?

Witness: I don’t know. A few. Older people, some of their key elders. One or two young firebrands.

Prosecutor: How?

Witness: I didn’t do that end of things. I do know that drug overdoses and car accidents weren’t unusual. Sudden heart attacks. But most of the others were dealt with less harshly or just scared off.

Prosecutor: Then as an accessory to murder, citizen, can you explain why CS 101 failed in that case?

Witness: I don’t know, exactly. Maybe because it didn’t require many of the Mohawks to bring out the dirt. That year, some of them went over to Europe with verified bone samples from the graves, to the European Parliament in Brussels …

Prosecutor (to The Court): On that point, citizen judge, we’d like to enter some video footage from the Brussels Tribunal of June, 2012 as evidence.

The Court: Agreed.

Prosecutor: Mr. Harper … I’m sorry, but I find it difficult to call you a citizen … let me ask you about where the churches were in all of this cover up and assassination. Did they know about CS 101?

Witness: Why, yes, naturally. They were consulted at every step. It was their problem, after all.

Prosecutor: Their problem?

Witness: They founded the schools, and kept them open despite all the deaths. They made a bundle off those kids. They demanded that we cover for them and destroy the evidence, right when the first lawsuits began in 1996. Hell, do you know how many child rapists still operate in those bloody churches? It was small wonder they had their own version of CS 101 …

Prosecutor: Really?

Witness: Yeah, really. In case you think it was just us doing all this crap …

Prosecutor: Go on.

Witness: They fired and blackballed any of their clergy who spoke out or who wouldn’t go along with the cover up. Went after their families. They trashed documents, dug up and destroyed graves, and they even arranged some convenient deaths, if the truth be known.

Prosecutor: Can you name any of those deaths, Mr. Harper?

Witness: That minister. The one who started the whole thing, out west.

Prosecutor: Eagle Strong Voice.

Witness: If that’s what you call him. We had another name for him.

Prosecutor (to the Court): Again, citizen judge, we’ll need this witness to depose during our separate examination about the death of Eagle Strong Voice.

The Court: Agreed, wholeheartedly.

Witness: I want to go on record as saying I knew nothing, personally, about that killing. I thought it was unnecessary but London overruled me. That was a church operation. They took him out after he’d uncovered their child trafficking network, and its links to London.

Prosecutor: It’s odd you’d say that, Mr. Harper, because the former Church of England and United Church officials in our custody say that your government knew of their plan concerning Eagle Strong Voice, and you gave it your unofficial consent.

Witness: That’s a lie.

Prosecutor: You will have the chance to face those who make this claim, Mr. Harper. They include the former Moderator of the United Church, a Ms. Mardi Tindal …

Witness: Never heard of her.

The Court: Progress, please.

Prosecutor: Now then Mr. Harper, I just have a final question for you, for now. It involves the ultimate purpose of all of this crime and cover up. It seems odd that you would risk the survival of your own government, at such an unstable period in our history, to simply conceal crimes that the world was discovering anyway.

Witness: Odd?

Prosecutor: Why, yes. Would it not have been wiser politically to admit these crimes, and not make things worse with all your obvious obstructions of justice?

Witness: We tried to admit some of it. That was the whole idea behind the TRC.

Prosecutor: But Mr. Harper, surely you know that that farce made the cover up all the more obvious.

Witness: I know that. We were just buying time.

Prosecutor: Not enough, as it turned out.

Witness: No. And there was more to it all than a bunch of missing children.

Prosecutor: Yes?

Witness: Of course. Think about the bigger picture. (pause) We were a fuel pump for America, and China. Who sat on the oil? Who did we have to keep down to fix the price at what America and China would permit? It was that simple. If the Indians ever felt they could bring us to trial in some international court for the residential schools killings, or for how we got their land, my god, just think of the repercussions. Here, and abroad. Think of what would come out, now, about what still goes on.

Prosecutor: Like what, Mr. Harper? What still goes on?

Witness: Find somebody else to tell you. I’m done.

The Court: You must answer the question, citizen.

Witness: Go to hell, ma’am.

A disturbance in the court.

Prosecutor: If the sheriffs could step back, please, citizen judge …

The Court: You will release the witness. Thank you.

Witness: I’m a dead man already, you know that? And so are all of you!

The Court: You will answer the question.

Prosecutor: Tell the court what still goes on, Mr. Harper.

Witness: Why? Will that make it stop?

Prosecutor: It will, if we have anything to say about it.

Witness: The naiveté … my god …

The Court: You will tell this Court the full truth, Mr. Harper.

A disturbance in the court.

The Court: Mr. Harper?
