Even the 'positive' huffpost article misrepresents Highway's experience to make it fit the standard monolithically negative narrative of the IRS legacy: "At age six, he was taken from his home and sent to a residential school, returning home only for the two summer months." In fact, if you read Highway's memoir, his father sent his excited-to-go six-year-old son to a residential school; he wasn't 'taken from his home.' Highway describes his feelings leaving for school on the bush plane for the first time:
"Marvels, marvels, marvels... he is going down there to accomplish marvels."
"Yes [...] I am traveling south to dance with marvels." Dad hears it clearly, I know, feels its vibration inside his blood -- "keetha kichi, paapaa" ("for you, Father").
(Vs. huffpost: "At age six, he was taken from his home and sent to a residential school..." -- Yeah, nice; that really captures the 'truth' of what happened!)
According to Peter Johnston: "I'm not interested in giving equal time, or any time beyond what seems necessary, to these positions and arguments." Well honestly, what a schmuck. He's interested only in denouncing those he disagrees with, because that's all that seems necessary to him?! Okay, bud.
The thing with these people is, they all seem deeply immersed in a world of Orwellian Newspeak. You can talk about 'genocide,' or 'morality,' or 'arguments,' but these words mean just whatever the Party says they now mean. I can't figure this Sean Carleton fellow any other way. He seems like either a perfect moron, or a shockingly bald-faced liar. But how did he come to be this way? That's the really interesting question here, I think. What is the moral-intellectual trajectory that leads to the creation of Orwellian moral-intellectual creatures like this? Is there more to this guy than meets the eye??
“It is immoral and illegal to accuse people of things for which they have not been charged or found guilty,” or falsely charged as in the case of 98-year-old nun Francoise Seguin who is awaiting judgement over a fantasized incident 60 years ago by a then-teenaged boy.

I have subscribed. Do you not get audio if you subscribe?
How do you mean, Greg? An audio version of the Substack? I'm not that smart about the 'backend' of these platforms. I may not have installed it.
If the paid didn’t work let me know.
I believe I paid to assist your substack. Usually the paid on substack get audio of the article.
Let me check and see. Thank you.
