The van was in the Village Green Hotel parking lot.

Australia - US - Mexico 1.7 ton crystal meth bust

MSN News is reporting that "Australian and US authorities on Friday announced they had seized around a billion dollars worth of methylamphetamine -- or "ice" -- in a bust that revealed new ties between Mexican cartels and Aussie biker gangs. The Australian Federal Police said that a joint investigation led the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement to uncover 1.7 tonnes of drugs in California last month."

"They face various charges, including attempting to import illegal drugs, and face maximum sentences of life in prison in Australia if convicted. The investigation appeared to reveal cooperation between Mexican cartels and Australian biker gangs, developing what authorities say is a worrying new vector for drugs to arrive to Australia."

Record $1.3bn Mexican drug haul averts 'tsunami of ice' entering Australia “We have averted a tsunami of ice coming into Australia. It is now time for you to stop consuming.”

More than 100 guns and explosives seized from Campbell River man's home

My Campbell river now is reporting that "Hundreds of guns have been seized from a Campbell River home. According to a news release from the Campbell River RCMP, the firearms were found in the home of 55 year old Campbell River resident Tony Green, who does not appears to have a previous criminal history. He was originally arrested after allegedly pointing a loaded handgun at an off-duty officer in the city’s Beaver Lodge Lands on January 28th. The search of his home was started the same evening, and continued until January 31st."

“Three full pick-up truck loads of guns, ammunition and prohibited devices were removed from the residence,” read the police news release. “The search was delayed when explosive materials were found. The RCMP Explosive Disposal Unit attended and safely removed the explosives.” More than 100 guns, hand guns, shotguns, and assault style rifles were seized. Many were prohibited, including a Bren machine gun from World War II with a tripod."

“Investigators also located what can be described as homemade silencers, zip guns, prohibited over capacity magazines and untraceable firearms,” read the release. “None of the firearms or devices were locked, none were stored properly and some were found loaded. High explosives, detonators and detonator cords were likewise removed from the house.”

Stockpiling for the Devil's Rejects? If he was a collector, he could have prohibited weapons grandfathered into his firearm license depending on when he purchased them. Doesn't sound like they were properly stored though.

Dead body found in Richmond drug lab

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "Richmond RCMP say that a man’s body was discovered Wednesday in what they believe to be a clandestine drug laboratory. In a news release, the Mounties said that the body was found in the 4600 block of Princeton Avenue shortly after 3 a.m. while officers were searching for a missing person. Investigators said the man found dead matches the description of someone reported missing locally on Sunday. Police said foul play is not suspected, and that there is no immediate threat to public safety."

Curtis Sagmoen sentenced for assaulting sex trade worker

The Vancouver Sun / Province is reporting that "Curtis Wayne Sagmoen, the man whose family’s Salmon Arm farm was searched by police in 2017 resulting in the discovery of a teenager’s remains, pleaded guilty Monday to assaulting a sex trade worker and received a short jail sentence amounting to time served as well as two years of probation."

"After several adjournments, the parties returned later in the afternoon and Sagmoen, 38, entered his guilty plea to one count of the lesser offence of simple assault of the sex trade worker in Maple Ridge in January 2013. He was initially charged with assault causing bodily harm, a more serious crime that could have resulted in a heftier sentence."

Another guy from Maple Ridge charged with assaulting sex trade workers with more missing and one dead on his farm. Holy Robert Pickton that's Red and White territory so it is.

Jamie Bacon instructed associate to kill Dennis Karbovanec

Global is reporting that "The trial of Jamie Bacon began at B.C. Supreme Court on Monday. Bacon is accused of counselling to commit murder against Dennis Karbovanec, an associate in the drug trade. In opening statements on Monday, the Crown said Bacon instructed an associate, who can only be identified as "CD," to kill Karbovanec. Crown said Bacon wanted him dead because Karbovanec wasn’t making as much money in the drug trade due to his use of Oxycontin and relations with young girls."

"CD agreed to the killing so he could be cleared of his debts to Bacon. According to the Crown, Karbovanec was shot near a cul-de-sac in Mission, B.C. on New Year’s Eve 2008 but managed to escape despite his injuries. The gun was thrown in a nearby creek. In early 2009, a toddler out for a walk with her mother found some bullets in the creek. Nine years later, another child found the gun allegedly used in the shooting while playing in the creek."

Kill one of your own co accused from the Surrey Six. My that's a very red and white thing to do. DK was with pig face during the Surrey Six murder. DK took over for Anton as Jamie Bacon's body guard when Anton was in prison. No L & R there.

One man injured in Burnaby shooting

CBC is reporting that "The Burnaby RCMP are investigating a Saturday night shooting that has left one man in hospital.

Democrats are leaving Hillary Clinton behind

The New York Post is reporting that "Hillary Clinton’s ­political career is over, kaput, ­finished. 'She’s not running for president,' John Podesta, the chairman of her 2016 campaign, told CNN. Now, taking Clinton at her word is the definition of dicey, but this time is different because it’s not as if she has much choice. Clinton quit the 2020 race before she was fired. Ding, dong."

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead. Thank God. In steps Tulsi Gabbard into the ring aka Dorthy.

Aspiring to something higher: Dealing with BC Corruption

Drug and gang enforcement in BC has been compromised since the Kelowna Summer Jam back in 2012. However, it was compromised right before that as well as long before that. In Julian Sher's book The Road to Hell: How the Biker Gangs Are Conquering Canada Allen Dalstrom was quoted as saying when it came to organized-crime investigations, the RCMP had done “f--- all here for 25 years”. He was referring to how the RCMP scuttled Operation Phoenix.

Nothing has changed. That's why we need to put organized crime back under provincial jurisdiction like Ontario and Quebec. Bob Paulson's exit interview proved that the RCMP have absolutely no desire whatsoever to investigate organized crime. They just want the budget without doing the work. When the RCMP loses billions of tax dollars from it's terrorist budget every year, that is organized crime. Their continued tax fraud is disturbing.

Now that pot is legal we need to focuss on getting harder drugs off the street especially fentanyl. Kelowna has started to arrest street level fentanyl dealers and Surrey needs to follow their example. That is the New York Model. Seizing the proceeds of crime is not the New York Model. That is the corrupt LA model when Freeway Ricky was leading the US crack epidemic.

The UN and the Hells Angels have the right to sell legal pot just like Andy Richards has the right to sell cop pot. Allowing one but not the other is a conflict of interest. As for hard drugs, we need to promote treatment not addiction. That will save lives. It's that simple.

Fatal shooting in Surrey - Bikramjit Khakh

Global is reporting that "Homicide investigators have been called to Surrey, where one person has died in a shooting. The Surrey RCMP says officers were called to the 13900-block of 58A Avenue around 7:15 p.m. to reports of shots fired. They arrived to find an adult victim suffering from gunshot wounds. Attempts to revive the victim failed, police said. Not long after, police were also called to a vehicle on fire near King George Boulevard and Colebrook Road."

Global is reporting that the victim in the shooting was Bikramjit Khakh aka Bicky. Not to be confused with Sukhvinder Singh (Bicky) Dosanjh leader of the Independent Soldiers before it was taken over by the Hells Angels. That Bicky died mysteriously in a car accident back in 2005.
