CBC is reporting that "Canada Post has not agreed to delay a potential strike by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), effectively pushing the union to agree to its latest offer ahead of a planned labour action set to begin Friday. The union had proposed a two-week pause on the strike as it reviewed the latest offer from Canada Post, according to negotiator Jim Gallant."
"The postal service made a new offer to the union earlier today, just a few days ahead of what would be the second strike in six months.The offer comes after Canada Post paused negotiations for a new collective agreement last week."
I know a lot of people must be saying WTF as in they were just on strike - a long one. Evidently they were legislated back just for a time limit without binding arbitration and the time limit is up. That's a strange way to do it.
Canada Post's profitability has tanked and that is a serious concern. Where there are no profits, there is no job security. The problem is many administrators at Canada Post would rather run the company into the ground for ideological reasons which are petty. Canada Post used to make money and pay dividends to the government which increased tax revenue.
The private sector can't afford long strikes. The problem is admail. The private sector makes money. They make money from parcels and couriers. Admail isn't worth it. When you used to go to every house with mail, adamil made sense. Now it does not. Not everyone gets mail every day now. That's why you made the routes longer. Making letter carries carry a fist full of flyers to every house turns couriers into pack mules.
These public sector managers have been saying admail is where the money is for the last 20 years. Evidently not. If you got rid of admail you'd make more money. Part time positions on the weekends is fine but the elephant in the room is admail. Get rid of it and save the company from destruction.
Global is reporting that "Canada said Wednesday it is summoning Israel’s ambassador after the Israeli Defence Forces fired shots in the vicinity of a diplomatic delegation in the West Bank that included four Canadians."
The Times of Israel is reporting that "Fake news sites and online avatars sang Doha’s praises in dozens of posts and articles since outbreak of Israel-Hamas war, Haaretz reports, tying posts to Netanyahu aide’s PR firm." WTF?
"An online influence campaign to improve Qatar’s image in Israel and abroad that was produced and advanced by key suspects in the so-called Qatargate affair continued even after the October 7 Hamas atrocities in 2023, Haaretz reported on Monday."
"The campaign was allegedly run by Perception, a company owned by former Likud adviser Yisrael Einhorn, who brought in Jonatan Urich — a close aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a central suspect in the investigation into ties between the controversial Gulf state and people in the Prime Minister’s Office — who was released to house arrest last week."
"Qatar paid for the campaign by transferring money to a company owned by a former Mossad official — whose name cannot be revealed — and by former IDF spokesperson Yoav Mordechai, via a UK subsidiary. That company hired Perception and another company called Koios, which operated the campaign."
"Fake news websites and apparently fake social media accounts created for the campaign curated messages about Qatar’s positive role in the Middle East, including following the October 7 invasion and massacres. The items denied Doha’s close ties to Hamas and its funding for the terror group, the Haaretz report said."
Qatar arms and funds Hamas. Netanyahu's PR firm sent out fake reports denying that fact and accepted money from Qatar to do it. The same entity the CIA used to fund and arm ISIS.
The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "RCMP say they've apprehended a suspect in a March 15 Fort Providence triple-shooting that left one person dead and two others with serious injuries. On May 15, the Kelowna Emergency Response team acted on a search warrant issued by the Surrey Police Service when they came across the suspect at a residence in the community. Krystian Cogswell, 22, was taken into custody and is being transported back to the Northwest Territories."
27-Jun-2023 He was charged with fail to comply with sentence/surcharge/disposition in Delta. Last summer those charges were adjoined and stayed. The file says access restricted. The picture is a police handout.
Politico is reporting that "Elon Musk and Donald Trump were the main characters on the internet and across Washington day after day. Then the world’s richest man started to fade away. On Truth Social, where Trump is known for sharing his unfiltered thoughts, the president used to mention Musk every few days but now has not posted about him in more than a month."
“The public supported the effort to end wasteful Washington spending, but they did not support the way that it was done,” said GOP pollster Frank Luntz."
“He’s finished, done, gone. He polls terrible. People hate him,” said a GOP operative who was granted anonymity to speak frankly. “He’d go to Wisconsin thinking he can buy people’s votes, wear the cheese hat, act like a 9-year-old. ... It doesn’t work. It’s offensive to people."
Foreign Policy asked "What was doge trying to achieve?" Was? In another interview with Musk he admitted he would be spending less time on Doge. So what went wrong? They went too fast and too extreme. Cutting government waste is great. Firing all the government workers and replacing them with 20 year olds is not. Canada didn't want that and the Polls show neither do Americans.
As I've said, if you want to address government waste, you need to stop giving contracts to SNC Lavalin and their partners who under bid and over charge government contracts. That is organized crime. Until you address that everything else is smoke and mirrors. Yet Trump can't blame his polls on Musk.
In a previous post someone commented and said no one wants to be shot by a cop for having legally obtained firearms in their home. That reminded me of the 70 year old gun smith the Toronto Police executed in his home. Since the inquiry has concluded, we need to talk about it.
There were many strange events that surrounded that tragedy. First of all, this was a well renowned gunsmith that did work for his local police force. Second, this was well out of the Toronto Police departments' jurisdiction and they failed to notify the local force of their search warrant. If fact, they even brought an ambulance with them as though they were expecting trouble.
Police agent or not, his lawsuit confirms the most obvious concern. It states that Rodger Kotanko, the gunsmith executed by the Toronto PD was out shopping with his wife. The alleged police agent said he waited outside for over an hour before Rodger came home to look at his jammed firearm.
That lawsuit claims the police were also waiting for Rodger and had ample opportunity to notify the customer of police activity which would have prevented him from having to witness the fatal shooting. That means they also had ample opportunity to arrest Rodger before he entered his gun shop. That's one of the most obvious concerns.
Now let's talk about believability and probability. The internal investigation was based solely on the police account because Rodger was dead and his side was not presented. Despite the fact that we were previously told the police officer who shot Rodger refused to participate in the internal investigation. The Special Investigations Unit also said "the subject officer also declined to release his notes, as is his legal right." That indeed reflects a broken system.
The police account which the internal investigation parroted is flawed. It claims two things that don't make sense. First it claims when the police barged in with guns drawn Rodger reached for a gun. That is not believable. He had a gun in his hand when the police barged in. It was jammed and he was servicing it. This was a renowned gunsmith who knows the rules and obeys the rules. He worked with his local police force.
If the police came in with guns drawn he would have set the nonoperational firearm in his hands down and raised his hands in compliance. Any other claim fails the test of believability. Instead of claiming Rodger reached for a gun the officer who refused to participate in the investigation would have more accurately said the suspect had a gun in his hands. That part was true. It was jammed. It didn't work. He was fixing it when they barged in.
There is one other obvious anomaly. The Toronto police claim that a firearm Rodger sold ended up in the hands of criminals and a young boy was killed with that firearm. They also claim the serial number of the gun had been removed and they accused Rodger of removing it. That is a whole bunch of ridiculous.
A renowned gunsmith is not going to remove the serial number off a firearm. Criminals don't use registered firearms to commit crime because they can be traced. They use throways. Guns smuggled in from the US that were never registered. So the Toronto Police's defamatory claims against an upright citizen they executed don't make sense.
If there is a shred of truth in their allegation what is far more likely is that a police agent bought a gun from Rodger, removed the serial number and sold it to a criminal to set him up. That is the only thing that makes sense because as I said, criminals don't use registered guns to commit crime.
As for the credibility of the Toronto Police, let's examine a Global News report that stated"Toronto’s police chief admits that a senior officer who admitted stealing drugs while on the job should have faced charges." The Toronto Police have a bad reputation for corruption. Why would we believe them now?
Update: Another reason why the claim Rodger reached for a gun is a lie is because we live in Canada not the US. Shop keepers don't keep a loaded firearm in the desk drawer. The laws in Canada clearly state that hand guns must be unloaded with a trigger lock on stored in a locked safe.
A renowned gunsmith knows the rules and obeys the rules. The erogenous claim that Rodger reached for a gun is ridiculous. He reached for a gun with a trigger lock on it? The police had a gun on him and he thought he could unlock the pistol and load it before the cops were able to pull the trigger? Not a chance. That did not happen.
I remember back in the day Surrey used too have a bylaw or building requirement that wood framed apartment buildings be no more than three stories. We have lots of concrete towers in Surrey but now I'm noticing several wood framed towers many stories high under construction and I'm left saying WTF?
In a fire, wood framed buildings burn very fast. I'm sure the new wood towers would have sprinklers installed but I can't help but feel this is an example of a bad idea. Not that I'm against them building condos higher than three stories. I just think more than three stories should be concrete and rebar. Hey but what do I know. I'm not an engineer.
I can't help but think this is one of those bright ideas like back burns. Fighting fires by setting more fires that end up burning out of control. What could possibly go wrong?
I've stopped using the word change because change isn't necessarily a good thing. Progress is. The Great Reset represent change just like the UN's New World Order does but neither are change for the better. Both are change for the worse. Likewise Donald Trump's extremism represents change but it takes us from one extreme to the other which leads to the same place. We need to focus on progress not extremism.
~
Bloody h*ll. Wen I say progress I don't mean Progressivism. I'm sure Klaus Schwab would call the Great Reset and the UN's New World Order progress when it's anything but. When I say progress I mean towards the original goal of more freedom and less government. Protecting the civil liberty promised in the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights.
Well we have the first blooms of the season on my water lillies. As I've said before they look like lotus but I think lotus are just for tropical climates. These water lillies are indigenous to BC. I saw them on my road trip along the sunshine coast as well as in the small ponds on Black mountain on Cypress. They pull back and hibernate during winter then spread out and bloom during summer. I have two. One's red the other is white.
There's series called White Lotus which isn't relevant. Generally Buddhists see the lotus as an inspiring metaphor. Rise above it all like the lotus is the popular phrase. It talks about how a lotus can rise up out of the mud and dirty water to bloom in the sunshine. Likewise humans can aspire to something higher by rising above the mud and filth in the world to bloom in the sun. We are resilient. Hope floats.
In the spirit of objectivity, I have two concerns with Trump and three concerns with Carney. The two concerns with Trump are relevant because they are preventing us from dealing with the three concerns about Carney which are colossal.
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses so let's look at two of Trumps weaknesses that prevent us from dealing with three much more important concerns with Carney.
First of all, Trump's rude arrogance is off the hook. It was funny at first when he slammed a couple of woke wackos but it didn't stop there and is completely out of control.
Recently Donald Trump was mocking France saying Americans are the only ones that don't celebrate Victory day and we won the war. Sure other countries helped but we won it.
That kind of defiant arrogance is astounding. Everyone participated. Every made huge sacrifices. Take the Australians at Gallipoli. Yes that was the First World war but the sacrifices they made then are recorded in history.
The Americans were neutral for three years before they joined the First World war. In the second world war the Americans were neutral for the first two years. The rest of us weren't.
Yes the American contribution was significant and greatly appreciated. It's just this we're bigger and better than anyone else in the world is too much to stomach. That kind of arrogance equates with illiteracy. It is uneducated and insolent.
It's like this trade war with the world. The Happy Bunny boldly declaring it's all about me. We need a better deal is very me first which is driven by selfishness and greed. It doesn't make foreign countries want to buy American. It makes them want to boycott American.
Then there's the obsession with gold idols. That is really Dr Phil. We saw how Trump's arrogance tanked Canada and Australia's elections. We need to move past Trump's insanity so we can deal with Mark Carney and the UN's New World Order of Insanity. Which leads us to three concerns with Mark Carney.
The first and foremost is overspending and massive debt. After last year's $62 billion single year deficit, Mark Carney isn't even tabling a budget. You know that funny thing a democratic society has where the government needs to get spending approved? Well Mark Carney has done away with that and that is a huge concern that can't go by unnoticed.
The next is Net Zero. Banning all gas cars has nothing to do with protecting the environment any more than banning natural gas does. It's a step towards the UN's New World Order of fake environmentalism. Climate change is not a just cause to throw away civil liberty and embrace Communism but that is exactly what they want. They want to drive up the cost of energy and make consumers poor so they become dependent on them.
The third concern is excessive gun control without a vote in Parliament. We all remember that last minute commie take all amendment to the Bill right before it was voted on. Rural MPs from the NDP and the Liberals lost their sh*t.
They said Justin Trudeau doesn't have a clue about what it's like to live in our communities. We live with predators all around us. The Assembly of First Nation's Chiefs said hunting is a treaty right. You can't ban hunting.
So they withdrew the last minute amendment. The bill was then voted on and passed. Yet right before he resigned Justin Trudeau took almost everything from that all inclusive wish list and banned them without a vote in Parliament. It was an order in council. That crossed the line. It was outrageous.
Insauga Ontario Local News is reporting that "A Brampton man who was shot to death Wednesday in broad daylight in a busy industrial area of northeast Mississauga was the victim of a targeted shooting, police say."
"Harjeet Dhadda, 51, was approached by a man and “shot multiple times” shortly before noon in the parking lot of a small business plaza in the area of Tranmere Drive and Telford Way, just north of Toronto Pearson Airport and east of Dixie and Derry roads, police said."
India's State Media is reporting that the Lawrence Bishnoi group in India claimed responsibility for the murder. They accuse Dhadda of furnishing a bail bond for Khalistan Tiger Force chief Arsh Dalla. Holy Five Eyes Batman. This has CSIS written all over it. Again.
The Toronto Star is reporting that "Toronto police are investigating a spate of shootings targeting illegal magic mushroom dispensaries across the city over the last three nights. Eight incidents have been reported, police said. Businesses were shot at in seven of the incidents and in the eighth, a vehicle was driven through the front of a dispensary — with no one inside the vehicle at the time, police said."
Magic mushrooms are not legal. What are these illegal dispensaries allowed to stay open? Give an inch take a mile.
I'm certainly not condoning the shootings. It sounds like a street dealer trying to eliminate the competition.
The BBC is reporting that "Sweden's foreign minister has spoken of grief among her colleagues after it emerged that a diplomat who was questioned this week on suspicion of spying has been found dead."
"The man, described as a high-ranking diplomat, was arrested by Sweden's Säpo intelligence service on Sunday and released on Wednesday. He had denied wrongdoing, although prosecutors said he remained under suspicion."
"Images of the door to the diplomat's flat on Swedish TV showed that it had been forced open at the time of his arrest. The diplomat had sought medical treatment for injuries and submitted a report alleging use of excessive force at the time. Säpo said the arrest had been peaceful."
"Unconfirmed reports from public broadcaster SVT suggest Säpo had been investigating a possible link to the sudden resignation of the new national security adviser, Tobias Thyberg, who quit hours a day after taking on the role. Hours before he resigned, sensitive pictures of him on the dating app Grindr had been sent anonymously to the government."
Castanet is reporting that "Const. Chris Terleski said on Wednesday, May 14, at about 11:30 p.m., police responded to a report of a shooting that took place on Okanagan Hills Boulevard in Vernon."
“The investigation has determined that the incident stemmed from an earlier assault that took place between a man and woman in a vehicle while parked at a pullout on the road,” Terleski said in an email. Following the altercation, a male suspect returned to the scene and allegedly fired a weapon several times.”
"The suspect was later located and arrested safely and without further incident by police in the Falkland area.The 33-year old man is currently in police custody and will be held until he makes his initial court appearance."
News Release - Two Additional Suspects Sought in Homicide Investigation, Bain Avenue and Logan Avenue area, Judicial authorization obtained to identify Young Person, Image Releasedhttps://t.co/pWniisOsWNpic.twitter.com/jUfWLIBIL7
Officers were originally called to area of Bain and Logan avenues on the evening of April 15 for reports of gunshots in the area.
When they arrived, they said that Caza and McNeil were found suffering from serious gunshots wounds. One died at the scene, while the other succumbed to their injuries later in hospital."
Now, police have issued Canada-wide warrants to locate Jayllen Maxime-Marcelle, 17, and Abdulrahman Zein, 18, both of Toronto. Both are wanted for first-degree murder."
GTA be cray yo. These young kids have no respect for life. Not even their own. In taking a life they lose their own.
Man, 19, charged after double shooting in Oshawa
City News is reporting that "Durham Regional Police have charged a 19-year-old man after a double shooting in Oshawa on Wednesday that sent two males to hospital."
"Officers responsed to calls for a shooting in the John Street West and Simcoe Street South area at around 7:10 p.m. Once on scene, officers found an 18-year-old man with a gunshot wound to the hip. He was taken to a Toronto-area hospital with non life-threatening injuries."
"Not long after, a hospital in the Oshawa area notified police about a male who arrived at the ER with a gunshot wound to the leg. “Investigators determined that this 16-year-old male was also a victim from the same shooting incident. His injuries are also considered non-life-threatening. The suspect fled prior to police arriving at the scene, but was found a short time later hiding in a nearby construction site."
The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "Carlos Nathaniel Monteith, 29, received a mandatory life sentence Monday, May 12 with no eligibility to apply for parole until he's served 25 years in prison, after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder in the 2019 contract shooting of Kristijan Coric at a gas station in Surrey."
"Coric, 29, of Surrey was shot dead on Sept. 28, 2019 at the Mobil Gas Station at 18699 Fraser Highway. Coric's girlfriend was the driver and Coric was in the front passenger seat. They'd been tracked to the station with a GPS tracking device that was attached to the Mercedes' rear undercarriage."
"Prosecutor Rod Flannigan said Coric was shot three times in the head at close range, and was also shot in his chest, arms and lower body. Seventeen bullet shells were found at the scene. He told the court it's not known who hired Monteith in the contracted hit."
"Verhoeven agreed with the Crown that it was indeed a contract killing, concluding Coric's murder was a paid killing or assassination of Mr. Coric on behalf of unidentified others.The court heard Monteith already had 22 youth convictions and 20 adult criminal convictions. That makes 42 in all, Flannigan noted. This will be his 43rd."
Another contracted murder without naming who hired the murder. That means nothing will change until we start naming who hired these contract murders.
CBC is reporting that "A 20-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder and two other suspects have been arrested following the death of another 20-year-old man in uptown Saint John on Tuesday morning. Police announced Wednesday afternoon that Hayden Donald-Bentley appeared in provincial court. He was remanded into custody and will appear in court next on May 21."
Two more people charged with first-degree murder in fatal Saint John shooting
Update: CTV is reporting that "A 17-year-old and a 30-year-old are both facing first-degree murder charges in connection to a fatal shooting in Saint John, N.B., earlier this week. The youth, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was formally charged on Wednesday. He was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear in court on May 21. Sheldon Scrubb, 30, was charged on Thursday. He was also remanded into custody and will appear in court on May 22."
As for the young offender, thanks to Chuck Cadman, Young Offenders who commit violent crime like murder can be tried as adults and named. CBC is reporting that "The victim was identified in Saint John provincial court Thursday as Thomas Connor Wilson."
CTV is reporting that "A man has been arrested in relation to a number of shootings that occurred over the course of Sunday in Fort St. John, BC. Officers conducted a search of the home where the third shooting had taken place and found evidence that linked the incident to the first, police said. Sgt. Ian Rissanen said all of the shooting events over the weekend are believed to be related to the Fort St. John drug trade."
"Kelly Shular was arrested Monday and faces numerous charges including breaking and entering, alongside possession, use and careless use of a firearm. Shular is due to appear in court June 4."
December 2014 Kelly Shular was described as a prolific offender when he was pulled over with a prohibited firearm. It was a sawed off shotgun. He was already prohibited from possessing firearms at that time. Just like Donnie McWhirter was when he committed one of his firearm offenses.
CTV is reporting that "Mounties are investigating a shooting at an encampment in Prince George, B.C., that left a 15-year-old girl injured early Wednesday morning. Prince George RCMP said the incident unfolded on Patricia Boulevard, in the area known as Moccasin Flats, shortly after 1 a.m. The shooting happened in a recreational vehicle that is parked at that location, the detachment said in a news release."
"Authorities have yet to identify or arrest a suspect." It was inside a trailer for f*ck's sakes. Only a couple of suspects. So what's an underage 15 year old girl doing at a drug infested encampment? Sounds like underage human trafficking.
Speaking of tariffs, did you hear US customs are doing secondary inspections of vehicles leaving the US before they enter Canada? What could they be possibly looking for?
If they were looking for fentanyl coming from Canada they would be inspecting vehicles entering the US not leaving. If they were looking for Americans who may have bought something in Canada without paying the tariffs they'd be searching vehicles entering the US not leaving the US.
The only motive for these new secondary searches is to make the lines longer to discourage Americans from visiting Canada. Nice move. How's your booming tourist economy doing?
On that note, did you see Trump completely caved in on tariffs with China? You can trade with the Communist party of China but you can't trade with Canada, a former friend and ally.
That man is a complete lunatic and his approval rate is dropping. That's not fake news that's reality. Midterms he will become powerless then he will be gone. A poor player that struts and frets his hour up on the stage and then is heard no more. What a disappointment.
CP24 is reporting that "Police have laid charges against three suspects from Toronto after 18 kilograms of suspected cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl were seized following a three-month long drug trafficking investigation in York Region." Olivia Waterman, Jason Hart and Zakariya Desai have been charged with drug trafficking offenses."
Meanwhile back on the ranch, in BC the CFSEU's big news is they charged a Surrey Jack with uttering threats. No drug busts. They won't even bust Blaze for selling crystal meth on his front lawn while in the program in a house they pay the rent for. But they'll pay Blaze a sh*t load of tax dollars to lie about Conor D'monte. The system's not broken, just the CFSEU is.
Even the Surrey girl busted in Orillia had her charges stayed. I guess Mia Sanchez is going to take over for Morgan Nicholson and become IHITit's new crew ho. This is how they roll. They get their people to rat out the people they hired. The police get a bust and in exchange they get to continue selling drugs so nothing changes. That is the broken system we need to fix.
CTV is reporting that "A residence in Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, in the Jacques-Cartier MRC near Quebec City, was shot at twice this week. The suspects again shot at the home on Friday evening, at around 8:30 p.m., prompting a major police deployment."
"The residence is located in a densely wooded residential area where neighbours are a safe distance away. The house in question may belong to Mathieu Pelletier, an alleged member in good standing of the Hells Angels, according to the daily Le Soleil, which said it had checked the municipal land register."
Today is mother's day and I have a heavy heart for more reasons than one. When we think of mothers we tend to think of kindness and compassion. There's a scripture that says when a child asks for bread will you give him a stone?
Again the parable of the good Samaritan comes to mind. We could easily retell it today as the good Palestinian or the good Jew. Samaritans were hated at the time so Christ picked someone the locals hated to shatter a stereotype.
When we see a pregnant woman on the bus we instinctively rise to give her our seat because it's the right thing to do. It doesn't matter what race or religion she is. She's a mother and childbirth is a monumentous task. If it was up to men to give birth we'd hit zero population instantly.
Up until recently I subscribed to a Palestinian news outlet on YouTube so I could get the other side of the story. The things the mainstream media wasn't telling us. Recently they posted a video of a Muslim extremist calling for a Jihad against all of Israel. That's exactly how we got into this mess.
Was it an agent provocateur paid by Mosaad or was it just a small minded extremist shooting himself in the foot? It could have been either. I find myself having to unsubscribe to extremism on both sides of this and many other debates.
Then I see John Rustad reposting a video on X of a Islamic extremist cursing the Jews glorifying martyrs and my heart breaks. After all the atrocities in Gaza this is all you can come up with? It reminded me of Marc Emery scouring the Internet for examples of extremism to justify his racism.
Obviously that Muslim was a whack job. Yet that doesn't change the facts. Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin came to a landmark agreement called the Oslo accord. It was an inspired compromise that established peace. A Jewish extremist murdered Yitzhak Rabin and Mossad created an extremist group called Hamas to push Fatah and the PLO out of Gaza so they could sabotage that agreement and the peace it created.
The extended map of Israel was drawn long before the October 7th attack. Targeting aid workers, starving civilians, shooting children and civilians with drones is not acceptable.
Sexually assaulting Palestinian prisoners is not acceptable. Raising a golden statue of Donald Trump on the graves of dead Palestinian children is not acceptable. It is all very unChristian. It is all an abomination just like censoring all the Jewish protests against Netanyahu in Israel is.
Don't scour the Internet for examples of extremism to justify your extremism. Scour the internet for examples of good and godliness which includes compassion and justice.
Remember that huge press release about a big drug bust in South Korea tied to the Rock Machine in Canada? Yeah, what about it? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. That's odd.
August 23 2024 the Vancouver Sun reported that "A 55-year-old Vancouver man with suspected links to the United Nations gang and the Rock Machine has been arrested in South Korea with a large amount of cocaine." It was another big song and dance from Five Eyes like the fake News about James Riach switching sides in prison or Damion Ryan taking a contract from the government of Iran to kill dissidents. A whole lot of smoke and mirrors followed by a whole lot of nothing.
So what about it? Let's talk about what we know and what we've found out. First of all, drugs aren't very big in South Korea. In 2018 the Guardian reported that Koreans in Canada who try pot legally could be charged in Korea.
OK that's highly unlikely but the fact is pot isn't very popular in Korea. It's socially stigmatized. Famous Korean musicians have been caught smoking pot overseas only to come back and find their careers ruined. Obviously drugs infiltrate everywhere but the demand for drugs isn't as high in Korea as it is elsewhere.
When I first heard them claim this bust involved the Rock Machine I said Bullsh*t. The Rock Machine is pretty much non-existent. They aren't running huge lines into new markets.
That's when I said name him. Oh we can't do that because his name is protected by Korean law. How convenient. Well this isn't Korea and the suspect's name is Cirilo Lopez. He is not a member of the Rock Machine or the UN so once again we see the Five Eyes Lie. He's someone the dirty cop in Saanich tried to blame the murder of Lindsay Buziak on running interference for the real killers.
Just like the claim that James Riach switched sides in prison and is now working for the UN not the Hells Angels. That was another bold faced lie so do the math hand ask yourself why did they lie? Last month they seized two tons of cocaine coming into Korea on a cargo ship. That was once again brought to you by the Five Eyes. They brought it in. More smoke and mirrors.
Korea JoongAng Daily is reporting that"Authorities said they were acting on intelligence received on Tuesday from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which warned that a foreign-flagged ship scheduled to arrive in Gangneung was carrying concealed narcotics." The FBI told them the cocaine was there.
