Foundlings and the Orphan Train


"Official position: During the 1850s there were thousands of children living on the streets of several major cities. The children were in search of food, shelter, and money and sold rags, matches, and newspapers just to survive. The children formed gangs for protection because life on the street was dangerous and they were regularly victimized. The police often arrested the children, some as young as five years old, and put them in lock up facilities with adult criminals. Determined to remedy the situation, the Children’s Aid Society and the New York Foundling Hospital devised a program to take children off of the streets of New York and Boston and place them in homes in the American West rather than allow them to continue to be arrested and taken advantage of on the streets. Because the children were transported by train to their new homes, the term “orphan trains” began being used. The Orphan Train Movement was a supervised welfare program that transported orphaned and homeless children from crowded Eastern cities of the United States to foster homes located largely in rural areas of the Midwest. The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating about 200,000 orphaned, abandoned, abused, or homeless children. While the official narrative is talking about 200,000 for the US, it is highly probable that there were millions. Similar orphan related operations were getting executed all over the world. Some children were allegedly moved to a different country. Makes you wonder why, right?"

I have been watching JonLevi, Martin Liedtke and UAP on Youtube over the last week. Some really interesting theories on our manipulated timeline. We have been messed with for centuries being the child like people we are....

Not to mention the Indigenous children, the Federal gov. and religious institutions removed / kidnapped / stole from their parents, some as young as 3 years old.

This happened in Canada and Australia, also. And come to think of it, in Ireland and Wales (Native to these countries), also. THe children were educated academically, as much as trained in domestic work.

THe downside of this, was that even under the "benevolence" of the gov. and religions, the children were physically abused and raped, by priests and nuns, and later their employeers, often having infants that were taken away, or slaughtered at birth.

There appears to have been a much greater genocide then we have yet to understand in our not so distant past it seems.
