#444 - Something Very Strange Is Happening at The Vatican | Exiled Minister

Episode of Danny Jones Podcast · October 30, 2026 · 2 h 16 min

Danny Jones interviews defrocked Canadian minister Kevin Annett about residential school deaths, alleged Vatican–China ties, mind-control experiments, his blacklisting, and a Vatican exorcism.

Summary

Kevin Annett, a former United Church of Canada minister, described how his work with Indigenous communities on Vancouver Island in the early 1990s led to his firing and defrocking after he questioned a church land deal with logging company MacMillan Bloedel. He argued that he has since been blacklisted in Canada, alleging the church funded his ex-wife's divorce litigation and that he was barred from speaking at a Vancouver school in 2024. Annett claimed that Indian residential schools deliberately spread tuberculosis, citing the 1907–1909 reports of Dr. Peter Bryce, and estimated 60,000 to 80,000 child deaths, far above official figures.

Annett made numerous further allegations, many contested or unsupported by mainstream sources: that China effectively controls parts of Canada through investment agreements, that the Vatican finances Chinese expansion, that his International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State forced the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI in 2013, that Nazi doctors including Josef Mengele worked in Canada, and that Cardinal Timothy Dolan channeled church money into Neuralink. Jones occasionally fact-checked claims live, noting for instance that a Canadian investigation concluded Mengele never entered Canada.

The pair discussed MKUltra, Michael Persinger's God Helmet, Edward Bernays and propaganda, AI and surveillance, psychedelic churches, and the decline of American power. Jones voiced concern about tech companies and government courting influencer pastors and pushed back on Annett's view that tithing congregants are legally complicit in church crimes. Annett recounted an exorcism he performed in St. Peter's Square in 2009 and a possession case in a Native community, describing spiritual entities that feed on people. In a closing Patreon segment he rebutted a listener's claim that no bodies had been found, calling such views government-backed denialism.
