The Forgotten Children: How the Thomas Indian School Exploited and Destroyed a Generation of the Seneca Nation

  The Forgotten Children: How the Thomas Indian School Exploited and Destroyed a Generation of the Seneca Nation History has a way of burying its darkest truths. But for the Seneca people, the past isn't just a distant shadow—it lingers in the lives of those who survived it, echoes through the generations left to pick up the pieces. The Thomas Indian School, once presented as a beacon of care, was in reality an institution built on control, cultural eradication, and suffering. A place where innocence was stolen, traditions were broken, and generations of Seneca children were shaped by the cruel hands of a system designed to erase them. The Sinister Origins of the Thomas Indian School Founded in 1855 on the Cattaraugus Reservation, the Thomas Asylum for Orphan and Destitute Indian Children started with a false promise—protection, education, a better life. But that promise was a lie. As Presbyterian missionaries Asher and Laura Wright took control, their mission became clear: save...
  Possession vs. Mental Illness: Where Does the Line Blur? For centuries, the idea of demonic possession has been burned into our collective fears. From biblical accounts to modern horror films, we’ve been conditioned to believe that unseen forces can take over a person’s mind and body. But what if the real story is more complicated? What if some of these so-called possessions were actually misunderstood mental health conditions? And on the flip side—what if some cases of mental illness were something much darker, something we don’t fully understand? A History of Possession and Exorcisms Possession isn’t just a horror movie trope—it’s been documented across cultures for thousands of years. The Catholic Church has a formal Rite of Exorcism, but many exorcisms throughout history were performed on people who, by today’s standards, were likely suffering from conditions like schizophrenia, epilepsy, or dissociative identity disorder (DID). The overlap between p...
  The Evolution of AI: From Sci-Fi Fantasy to Everyday Reality I remember growing up in my small country town in the ’80s and ’90s, where technology meant a landline phone with a rotary dial, a TV that still had rabbit ears, and a Commodore 64 if you were lucky. The closest thing we had to AI was the talking car from Knight Rider or HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey —and even then, the idea of a machine that could think for itself was either science fiction or a nightmare waiting to happen. Fast forward to today, and here I am, sitting in front of an AI that can write, create, learn, and even hold a conversation like a real person. Hell, it’s probably reading this over my shoulder, just waiting to correct my grammar. But how did we get here? How did we go from computers the size of buildings to artificial intelligence being in our phones, our cars, and even our refrigerators? Let’s take a look at how AI evolved from fantasy to reality—and where it might be taking us next. Th...
  Unveiling the Veil: Exposing the Church’s Supernatural Cover-Up Hey everyone, I’ve been on an intriguing journey lately, diving deep into a subject that has both fascinated and puzzled me for years: how the Church has historically manipulated the narrative of the supernatural. Over centuries, ghost stories, eerie whispers, and unexplained apparitions have captivated our imaginations. But as I delved into historical texts, religious doctrines, and cultural traditions, one striking idea emerged—what if those mysterious voices in the dark aren’t necessarily demonic, but echoes of a rich spiritual heritage that was systematically suppressed? A Script Born from Curiosity The project, tentatively titled "Ghosts, Demons, and Deception: The Church’s Supernatural Cover-Up," was born out of a mix of historical intrigue, personal fascination, and a healthy dose of skepticism. I wanted to challenge the dominant narrative that forces us to see the afterlife in stark binary terms—He...
  The Digital Evolution: Are We Losing Our Creative Soul? By Fred Mead I grew up in a time when writing meant sitting with a notepad, brainstorming ideas, and scribbling drafts with ink-stained fingers. Back in high school, I remember struggling to craft short stories or book reports, relying solely on my imagination and perseverance. For those of us who grew up in the '80s and '90s, that was the norm. But today, creative struggles have a new competitor—technology. The internet, and now AI, has changed the very foundation of writing itself. The Death of Originality? Where is the originality in today’s writing? Many now rely on AI-powered tools like ChatGPT or Copilot to generate content at the push of a button. It’s efficient, yes—but at what cost? What happened to the frustration of writer’s block, the euphoria of a breakthrough, the unique quirks and imperfections that make a writer’s voice their own? Perfection is human, but so is imperfection. If we erase mistakes befor...
