This link is about a witness to the abduction of ten aboriginal children from a catholic school in Canada in 1964, apparently by the Queen and Prince Phillip. There was a lot of funny stuff going on in Australia/Canada with child abductions.
TAP - what is interesting about the story and in the video below is the direct involvement of members of the Royal Family in abductions, and in child abuse.
The recent film Oranges and Sunshine shows the true story of children from England who were told their parents were dead, and were shipped off to Australia to similar sounding sort of schools, with routine abuse, not that long ago. Also the Australian authorities have worked hard over the years to take aboriginal children away from their mothers, tribes and culture.
This witness (from Canada) has recently died following a hospital visit for "tests" despite being in good health. Cause of death is undisclosed.

It looks like a rub-out.
William Combes, Eyewitness, 1952-2011
Vancouver, Canada:
The aboriginal man who claimed to witness the abduction of ten fellow residential school children by the Queen of England and her husband in October, 1964 at the Catholic school in Kamloops, B.C. has died suddenly at the Catholic-run St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.
William Combes, age 59 and in good health, was scheduled to be a primary witness at the opening session of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) on September 12 in London, England.
I last saw William ten days ago, on the eve of my departure for a European speaking tour, and he looked better than I had seen him in years.
According to his partner Mae, William was in stable health and was assigned a new doctor at St. Paul’s Hospital this past week. William was then committed to the hospital for “tests”, and his health began to immediately deteriorate. He died suddenly yesterday of a still-undisclosed cause.
The Vancouver Coroner’s Office refuses to comment on William’s death.
William was the sole survivor of a group of three aboriginal boys who claim to have witnessed the abduction of ten children during a royal visit to the Kamloops residential school in mid October, 1964, when both the Queen and Prince Philip were in Canada.
“They took away those ten kids and nobody ever saw them again” described William, in several public statements made over the airwaves of my former Vancouver Co-op radio program, and in the following signed and witnessed declaration made on February 3, 2010:
I am an Interior Salish spirit dancer and am 58 years old. I live in Vancouver, Canada.
I am a survivor of the Kamloops and Mission Indian residential schools, both run by the Roman Catholic church. I suffered terrible tortures there at the hands especially of Brother Murphy, who killed at least two children. I witnessed him throw a child off a three story balcony to her death. He put me on a rack and broke some of my bones, in the Kamloop school basement, after I tried running away.
I also saw him and another priest burying a child in the school orchard one night.
In October, 1964 when I was 12 years old, I was an inmate at the Kamloops school and we were visited by the Queen of England and Prince Phillip. I remember it was strange because they came by themselves, no big fanfare or nothing. But I recognized them and the school principal told us it was the Queen and we all got given new clothes and good food for the first time in months the day before she arrived.
The day the Queen got to the school, I was part of a group of kids that went on a picnic with her and her husband and some of the priests, down to a meadow near Dead Man’s Creek. I remember it was weird because we all had to bend down and kiss her foot, a white laced boot.
After awhile, I saw the Queen leave the picnic with ten children from the school, and those kids never returned. We never heard anything more about them and never met them again even when we were older. They were all from around there but they all vanished.
The group that disappeared was seven boys and three girls, in age from six to fourteen years old. They were all from the smart group in class. Two of the boys were brothers and they were Metis from Quesnel. Their last name was Arnuse or Arnold. I don’t remember the others, just an occasional first name like Cecilia and there was an Edward.
What happened was also witnessed by my friend George Adolph, who was 11 years old at the time and a student there too. But he’s dead now.
I believe that William Combes died of foul play, and that his murder was arranged by those who stood to lose from his speaking out about his witnessing of the child abductions and other crimes of murder and torture at Catholic Indian residential schools.
I am writing a soon to be issued eulogy for my friend and fellow fighter, William Arnold Combes. Like another murdered front line native activist, Johnny Bingo Dawson, who was killed by the Vancouver police in 2009, William will never be forgotten – and those who killed him will, like the system that caused the death of so many children, be brought to real justice.
His murderers have not won. William’s videotaped statements, including his witness of the 1964 abductions, have been registered in the archives of our ITCCS, and will be made public at our opening session on September 12, 2011.
I will be proposing to the ITCCS executive that William Combes and Johnny Dawson both be named post-humous Honorary Elders of the Tribunal.
In his name and memory, and for all the children.

This is just unbelievable. It sure does not appear to me as coincidence to the point that I fear for Kevin’s life and the lives of everybody trying to expose the truth. We all know the queen of england and the entire monarchy is one of the world’s most notorious criminal and evil beings ever to reign the earth. They have committed unimaginable crimes against my people in order to steal our land and drain most of the life from it in the process. They will stop at nothing to keep the people as slaves in order for themselves to thrive. But one thing they fear is the truth and good will of the free people. Under the guiding light of gisiteget, the creator, the people are breaking free from this evil and they will fight back. We will lose some of our people, but these will set the rest free. They will never be forgotten here on earth and they will join the ancestors in honor. I for one would gladly give up my life to free the world of evil.
I will pray for William Combes and honour his spirit.

Hi Kevin, Bill Maloney here UK.
Just read your post and I’m deeply sorry for the passing of William.
The best way to remember him is by what you are doing i.e. trying to expose the atrocities of which William was a victim/survivor who had to live the horrors every day and night of his life. I strongly agree with Williams’s story bringing to light the hierarchy of the British Empire.
Here is a video clip from us to you all to show you that we are (TAP - also?) accusing the dysfunctional royal family of crimes against children and humanity:
I hope you are well Kevin.
‘God bless all victims and survivors’
Bill.
