Child sexual abuse in the Canadian Forces

Here’s my latest podcast…….

So, last weekend I was arranging my wardrobe, and I decided for giggles to count the different articles of clothing I have.

I knew I had a lot of dresses, I just didn’t realize that I had as many as I do. I can only wonder if my stepmother would be proud of me………

Anyways, here’s the latest podcast.

Enjoy!

Here I talk a little bit about my feelings related to being betrayed by the Canadian Armed Forces.

Never forget, it wasn’t that the CFNIS in 2011 were a bunch of illiterate clodhoppers who couldn’t investigate their way out of an open field on a sunny afternoon.

They were as they always have been. Soldiers fulfilling the duties of police officers. Soldiers first, police officers 2nd. Soldiers bound by the National Defence Act to follow the “lawful” commands of their superiors. It says lawful and not legal for a reason.

Master Corporal Robert Jon Hancock;
Master Corporal Christian Cyr;
Warrant Officer Blair Hart;
Master Warrant Officer Terry Eisenmenger.
Lt. Col. Gilles Sansterre.

They could have brought justice to me and the other children from Canadian Forces Base Namao, but instead they decided that it was far better to play the faithful soldier and to obey their respective chain of command.

The CFNIS had the CFSIU investigation paperwork.

The CFNIS had the court martial transcripts.

The provost marshal withheld the CFSIU paperwork and the Court Martial transcripts from the MPCC in 2012.

There was never going to be any justice for me.

This was all a game of lies, deceit, and gaslighting to keep the events of 1980 under wraps and to keep the fact that victims of military child sexual whom were sexually abused by persons subject to the Code of Service Discipline on Canadian Forces Bases prior to 1998 can never legally receive justice due to various flaws in the pre-1998 National Defence Act.

Okay, so here’s a second post for today………

Actually fine, I started on it yesterday, but I’m publishing it in the wee hours of tomorrow.

The official secrets act is a hideous piece of garbage that can be used to keep people silenced so as to avoid causing the government problems and embarrassment.

Here is my latest podcast.

Here is the link to the debate between Dr. Stephanie Green and Dr. John Maher that was hosted by VOX.

For the next short while I’m going to put podcasts on here that I am putting on to me other blog beeshive.ca

There’s only one person throughout this whole sordid affair that appears to have tried his best within the constraints of the defective military justice system.

He was a military police investigator with the CFSIU back in 1980.

Actually, he was a base military police officer until March of 1980, then he became the acting section commander of the CFSIU at CFB Edmonton.

He is the one who investigated Captain McRae.

He’s also the one who had to ask base commander Colonel Dan E. Munro to allow McRae to be held in closed custody as he was worried that McRae was going to go “talk” to the families of the children involved.

McRae was a Captain.

J.S. the father of P.S. was a Sgt.

Most of the other fathers of the kids involved were also junior rank members of the Canadian Forces.

My father at the time was a lowly corporal and wouldn’t have been able to defy the wishes of Captain McRae, or anyone else up the chain of command for that matter.

The following section from the National Defence Act would have ensured that the parents of the children involved would have followed the wishes and desires of the chain of command, whether they liked it or not.

This is the file for the CFSIU investigation paperwork for the Captain Father Angus McRae matter in 1980.

This is the file for the Captain Father Angus McRae court martial that occured on July 15, 16, 17, and 18 of 1980.

Two things about this paperwork.

First is the Charge Sheet. As the Summary Investigation flaw detailed in LS-311E indicated, it was the commanding officer of the accused that determined which charges the accused would face and which charges would be dismissed. In this case, it was CFB Namao Base Commander Colonel Dan E. Munro who would have been required by Section 139 and 140 of the 1970 National Defence Act.

Second is that Captain McRae plead innocent to the charges until P.S. was called into the court martial hearing as a witness. Once P.S. gave his statement, McRae changed his plea from innocent to guilty.

McRae’s defence officer appears to have tried to use the fact that the Catholic Church had conducted an Ecclesiastical Trial against McRae and found him guilty therefore the court martial should not be able to find McRae guilty again. The Ecclesiastical Trial paperwork is at the end of the court martial transcripts.

Enjoy!

This is Podcast #3.

It’s a long one, but it’s also a good one.

Above is the audio and also available for download is a copy of the 2nd Independant Review of Amendments to the National Defence Act.

One thing that I didn’t notice the first time I read this report is that even in 2011, the Military Police Complaints Commission was aware that the Supreme Court of Canada considered it to be improper for a police agency to receive direction from a governmental body that could be subject to civil actions based on the outcome of an investigation.


This is the chain of command:
Mininster of National Defence –> CDS –> VCDS –> CFPM –> CFNIS Commander –> CFNIS Unit Commander –> CFNIS Investigator.
Section 18 of the National Defence Act stipulates that the VCDS may direct the CFPM in regard to any particular military police investigation.
Section 83 of the National Defence Act stipulates that every member of the Canadian Armed Forces MUST obey the “lawful” commands of their superior.

This is literally everything the Supreme Court of Canada has said is unacceptable.

You cannot have the CFNIS conducting investigations that have the POTENTIAL to bring civil actions against the office of the Minister of National Defence as the Minister via the Chain of Command has direct authority over the entire Canadian Forces military police.

I finally recevied the long awaited Court Martial transcripts for the Captain Father Angus McRae court martial which occured in July of 1980.

Welcome to my podcast.
This will be the first of many podcasts that I intend to publish that will explore how the Canadian Armed Forces have failed the victims of military child sexual abuse over the years.
