The Return of Kevin Annett

(SACRAMENTO / COUNTY CLARE, Ireland) - Salem-News.com is not just an organization of reporters and photographers, some of our team members are dedicated activists who have heroic tendencies and are highly controversial. One of these razor's edge activists is Kevin Annett. He exposed the Genocide of Native American children in Canada; along with ITCCS.org (International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State), and Kevin has forced great change inside of the Catholic Church, he was recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Kevin's name places fear in the hearts of child raping priests - men so well protected by the church that claims to represent God, such a shame it all is.

Kevin is another great example of how the subjects we follow tend to become explosive, mainstream news. Kevin is a seriously dedicated activist for children and his critics in my view, are all advocates for the worst things in the world, they represent either directly or indirectly, the beasts who prey upon the weak and innocent, we have no use for them, and are particularly offended by the fact that it is the 'Church' that we have to stand and unify against, a big dose of irony is what it is... Kevin is a minister, he was excommunicated over his child Genocide allegations, then after the remains of the suspected victims were unearthed, Kevin's excommunication was reversed. It says a great deal about him.

So please watch this short video recorded during the final days of Kevin's recent European tour, where ITCCS offices are going up in many cities. People are sick of the Church abusing children, it is a grating subject for many of us, but Kevin Annett is doing something about it, and we are moved, very moved by his actions, we all owe him a round of applause and our intense gratitude for his years of service and passion for human rights and fairness.

Who is heather martin? she said she was a supporter of kevin. I am told not to trust her. Heather Martin July 26, 2013 at 11:27 am Thank you for your reply. You should know he’s made contacts with people in your line of work before.. Some of which have turned out badly. I’ll just warn you not to count on him to show up for anything…to leave you stranded with some lame excuse…unless its something that benefits him more than it does you. In fact read the testimonies of Camilla regarding the treatment of her and Clarita Vargas in Italy, and of Lorna Cayton and Cari-lee… Each of these people (like myself) once supported and/or worked with Kevin and were treated badly by him. Never mind the Native women who had their money and their signature misused by him without so much as a glimmer of remorse. What does it say about a white Reverend who holds up the bones of dead children at an Occupy Rally…just to gain support from the anarchists? You may respect him… But I suspect that’s because you have yet to know him. I cringe thinking what damage he might do to your cause ….proceed with care! http://stopkevinannett.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/who-is-adam-kokesh-the-man-calling-for-an-armed-american-revolution/#comments

Hmmm....that is interesting...still an ordained minister? I'm wondering if his anti-Christian activities are in keeping with the CCFCC's code of ethics? I'm certain it's not in keeping to have a partnership with someone calling themselves the anti-Christ 666(VaticanCrimes.us) who is out to destroy the Catholic and other Churches. As for his being welcome back at Brantford I have spoken to Bill Squire who represents Six Nations..he is the official spokesperson there so I have it on good authority that he is no longer welcome. However he already knows this and yet, refuses to apologize for waiving children's bones in the air at Occupy. This is all ok, though, because he represents what people are upset about so they really don't care if he's a liar or not... Too bad he hurts people in the process.

Don't you have a limit? Your use of that 666 thing is just plain stupid and I barely was able to resist deleting this comment.

Every hero has their detractors, almost all operate to boost their ego; they want credit for great acts though they aren't willing to make those things happen, and then when somebody does, they are attacked out of spite. Funny, this article by our writer Paul Balles in Bahrain is an exact reflection of your words here, it takes to task those who argue in spite of being wrong, this article is about ad hominem attacks: Indulging in Fallacies - Dr. Paul Balles Salem-News.com

Please at least try to stick to the facts.. Kevin's 'excommunication' was never reversed..he in fact keeps his collar handy in case the cops question him..however, I'm sure he's told you whatever he thinks you'll buy... Criticism of these lies and the lies told around the remains of children unearthed at Brantford is the duty of every human being dedicated to protecting the victims from being taken advantage of. If you want to accuse people of supporting the pedophile criminals then your vision and research is limited. Kevin is not welcome back at Brantford until he apologizes to the Mohawks..do you think that those Elders support pedophile priests too?

Kevin did transfer his ordination afterwards to the Christian Community Fellowship Church of Canada, which ordained him in December 1995. I find it shameful that you attack someone who does so much, lose the ego, that is my advice to you and you don't decide where Kevin is and isn't welcome, end of story.
