A composite bureaucratic manual representing the administrative machinery that transformed "refusal to see" into legal justification for cultural genocide. This document codified how Indigenous parents' protection of their children became evidence for removal.
Administrative Violence
The manual emerged in Shadow Protocol to expose how philosophical concepts like "willful blindness" become bureaucratic weapons. Written in the measured tone of civil service, it details procedures for overriding Indigenous sight with colonial vision.
Documented Procedures
Assessment Protocol 12: Vision Testing
"Aboriginal parents who cannot 'see' the advantages of mission education demonstrate cognitive limitation requiring state intervention. Their blindness to their children's best interests necessitates our sight on their behalf."
Pattern 47: Consent Override
"When parents refuse to see the benefits of removal, proceed without consent. Their refusal itself constitutes the evidence needed. Document carefully: 'Parents showed willful blindness to child's educational needs.'"
Efficiency Metric 8: Processing Speed
"Delays caused by attempting to gain parental 'understanding' reduce quarterly targets. When they won't see reason, reason is not required."
Contemporary Echoes
The manual's language resurfaces in modern child welfare policies, educational "interventions," and developmental assessments. Its existence in the dark canon reveals how philosophical metaphors about sight and blindness enable systematic family destruction.
