Rod Vienneau for 15 long years has been trying to get justice for the horrendous crimes committed against his wife.  It's been a long, hard battle - a fight that looks like David v. Goliath since the U.S. and Canadian governments are battling him tooth and nail to keep his case quiet.

And the reason for the government barricade at revealing the truth is Vienneau's case opens a "can of worms," exposing the government sanctioned torture and abuse of more than 50,000 children involved in illegal psychiatric government-sanctioned experimentation programs.

Vienneau's wife, Clarina, was one of thousands of children experimented on during the 1950's and 60's in what has become known as the Duplessis Orphan case. She now is seeking justice for crimes including illegal mind-altering drug experimentation, physical beatings, torture with whips and chains while being collared like a dog, ice cold baths, sleep deprivation and other crimes that shock the conscience.

Clarina's case has resurfaced by the hard work of independent freelance journalist, Christine Hahn, who has spent two years of her life working with Vienneau and other victims like him, trying to document and bring to justice high level officials and doctors responsible for the horrendous child abuse involving thousands of child.

Vienneau recently appeared on Greg Szymanski's radio show, The Investigative Journal, recalling how the long, hard fight to get justice for his wife began in 1992.

"We have been married for more than 40 years, but Clarina kept secret she was one of the Duplessis Orphans until 1992," said Vienneau. "She came from a poor family ad was turned over to a Catholic orphanage when she was 9 years old.

"Since we began researching her case, we found overnight her medical files were changed and she was declared mentally ill for no reason. At the age of 11, she was then transferred to a psychiatric clinic where she underwent torture and abuse until she was 17 when she finally escaped. Her sister also was one of the Duplessis Orphans, undergoing the same torture and abuse.

"But my wife and sister may have been one of the lucky one's. Over the years, even though the case has been sealed tight and we haven't been able to find an attorney willing to stand up against the government, information has surfaced that thousands of other children were killed during the illegal experimentation programs.

 "In fact, there is a place near one of the psychiatric institutes, next to a pig pen, were investigators claim more than 2,000 children have been buried in a mass grave. There is a move now to try and exhume the bodies but no court in the land wants to touch this case."

Vienneau's fight for justice is a stark example of how officials in Canada and the U.S. have joined together with large drug companies to keep the truth from the public. For his efforts to vindicate his wife's name as well as prevent further child experimentation, Vienneau has had his phone wiretapped, as well as being harassed and followed by Canadian authorities.

The reason for the crackdown on Vienneau is that Hahn's investigation into the horrendous crimes committed against Clarina and others can be traced to illegal CIA-funded mind control and drug experimentation programs performed by unscrupulous doctors, some with former Nazi Party affiliations, essentially using the children as guinea pigs.

Hahn said since the ties go to high-level doctors and government officials in both countries, there has been a concerted effort to suppress her story as well as people like Vennout who are trying to et at the truth.

Although meticulously researched and documented, Hahn's investigative piece was rejected by all mainstream publications, as she had to settle for publication in an alternative outlet called Freedom Magazine.

Recently, Vienneau outlined what his main motives are in seeking justice for his wife ad the many other children abused by the illegal experimentation programs.

"Criminal acts:  Horrific criminal acts were done to thousands of innocent children here on Canadian soil ranging from murders, tortures; disappearance of children; lobotomy's and experimental drugs and falsely labeling thousands of innocent young children from 1935 to 1975 and nobody has yet been held accountable for these free criminal acts done to the Duplessis orphans.

"Thousands of orphans were falsely labeled mentally ill, and today, this label still hangs heavy on the orphans shoulder's, This label has not yet been erased, this alone is a criminal act.

"The Quebec government, the College of Physcians of Quebec; the Roman Catholic church of Quebec; the Quebec Public Trustee;(Guardianship) and the federal government of Canada have not yet acknowledged the harm done to thousands of young children here in Quebec.

 "Constitutional Rights : The Quebec government took away the Duplessis orphans rights to defend themselves in a court of law since 1995, all though four members of parliament stated that the orphans could take a lawyer at any time for their case, but it has been 11 years now that many orphans have been trying to get a lawyer for their case but to no avail. Lawyer Daniel Lighter, told me flatly that the Duplessis orphans case is locked shut tight since over fifteen years.  The Duplessis orphans have no Constitutional

Rights, it all boils down to a huge cover up."

" The Duplessis orphans are entitled to a real compensation from all party's mentioned above for lives ruined and still having to live day to day with the after-effects of their horrific journey into a psychiatric hospital having been falsely labeled."

And Hahn had this to say about Vienneau's character and determination against what looks like insurmountable odds:

"I've dealt with hundreds of people in my career as a journalist and I've never come across somebody as devoted, well intentioned, determined, principled and focused as Rod Vienneau," said Hahn. " He applies a clear minded shrewdness and relentless work ethic to his benevolent cause. His mind never stops working the angles, it's a mind that has the unique ability to retrieve obscure information that others would have forgotten, which he then uses to produce devastating, clearly expressed and logically sound

arguments.

"They say the ultimate compliment to somebody like this does his homework and this he does with great thoroughness, all in an effort to establish justice for a downtrodden group that just about everybody else - including most social activists - choose to overlook.

"Rod is an shining inspiration to me, he's articulate, well-informed and concise in his messages and is as empathetic to those he serves as he is unrelenting to this who would have justice denied. If there's one person I could think of deserving of recognition, it would be Mr. Vienneau."
