Outlaw National President Harry Bowman died at 69

Gangsters Report is reporting that "Midwest biker baron Harry (Taco) Bowman died behind bars of cancer over the weekend at 69. The legendary Outlaws Motorcycle Club President ran his biker empire from Detroit and brought the Outlaws to prominence nationwide, presenting a formidable challenger to Hells Angels founder Ralph (Sonny) Barger as America’s most powerful biker boss at the apex of his reign in the 1990s."

MSM promotes SNC-Lavalin's continued criminal activity

I've already talked about the SNC-Lavalin Smoke and Mirrors the media is promoting. Now I'm going to talk about how the Main Stream Media is using that circus side show to promote SNC-Lavalin's continued criminal activity.

The Main Stream Media is spinning the latest SNC-Lavalin scandal off of SNC-Lavalin and are trying to blame Justin Trudeau for it which is ridiculous. I'm not a lover of the fallen rock star but I despise the fraud the MSM is perpetuating even more so.

The latest circus side show is the claim that Justin Trudeau put pressure on the Attorney General to avoid criminal charges against SNC-Lavalin to protect jobs in Quebec. Let's remember that it was the PMO that were the ones that approved charges against SNC-Lavalin to proceed.

Andrew Scheer called for Justin Trudeau's resignation. Of course he did. He is the leader of the opposition. Yet he would have done the exact same thing and Stephen Harper would have done far worse. Even the NDP in BC are tied to SNC-Lavalin so blaming Justin Trudeau for the fraud is absurd. The problem is that SNC-Lavalin underbid and over charges government contracts on a regular basis and gives kickbacks in the form of political contributions to all the political parties. The fact that SNC-Lavalin is still getting government contracts is the root of the problem.

SNC-Lavalin should not have been given the contract for the Evergreen Line. That was a criminal act. SNC-Lavalin should not be allowed to bid on the Pattullo Bridge replacement. That is the root of the problem that the smoke and mirrors is trying to distract us from.

All the parties think that if they protect SNC-Lavalin they will protect jobs in all of Canada not just Quebec but that belief is wrong. Banning SNC-Lavalin from bidding on government contracts in Canada will not kill the Canadian economy it will protect it. For example, if SNC-Lavalin isn't allowed to bid on the Pattullo Bridge replacement, another Canadian company will so no jobs in Canada will be lost. The only thing that will be lost is the tainted bureaucracy within SNC-Lavalin that line their pockets and the politicians pockets with tax dollar fraud.

Horgan OK with SNC-Lavalin Bidding: That is the root of the problem right there.

New York cop charged with selling guns to OMGs

Record Online is reporting that "A police officer with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection has been charged with illegally manufacturing and selling dozens of guns and tipping off a drug suspect about an investigation, state police said Friday. Police said they learned about the activities of Gregg Marinelli, 38, of Plattekill, during the cocaine- and fentanyl-trafficking investigation dubbed “Operation: Bread, White and Blues” that resulted in more than two dozen arrests in February, although Marinelli was not charged in that case."

"Prosecutors say Marinelli, a DEP sergeant and team leader of an agency Emergency Service Unit, manufactured dozens of handguns and assault rifles, including a fully automatic assault rifle, in his home and sold them “to individuals who are legally barred from possessing such weapons.” Those customers included members of self-professed outlaw motorcycle clubs, and Marinelli sometimes delivered the guns using his marked DEP police car, prosecutors said."

He must have been moonlighting on the side for the Agency.

Harley Liberty is reporting that "A veteran first responder is charged with peddling deadly drugs. He’s one of 29 people arrested on drug and conspiracy charges in early morning raids Tuesday, New York State Police said. Investigators say a suburban firehouse was at the center of the illegal activity. A home to lifesaving first responders allegedly became the center of a drug operation that peddled deadly Fentanyl." The Fentanyl pills, known on the street as “blueberries,” were falsely sold as painkillers, CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported."

"Agents recovered more than $200,000, 25 handguns, an assault rifle and other rifles, 2.5 pounds of cocaine, 1,300 Fentanyl pills, ten vehicles and two motorcycles in the raids. Paul Smith, 48, who works as a lieutenant in the City of Middletown Fire Department faces charges of operating as a major trafficker, conspiracy and possessing and selling controlled substances."

Statter 911 is reporting that "It isn’t a stretch to say that there’s a decent likelihood that the two men at the center of a drug ring in New York responded to assist overdose victims who used illegal drugs the me are accused of distributing. Paul G. Smith is a career lieutenant with the Middletown Fire Department and Robert Dunham Jr. is a volunteer with Mechanicstown Fire Company. Both departments are located in Orange County. Law enforcement officials claim Smith and Dunham got drugs and then distributed them through two self-described outlaw motorcycle clubs in the county, the Burnt Pistons and Chingalings."

Chuck Zito was a member of the Ching-A-Ling MC then became a member of the Hells Angels MC, later becoming one of the founders of the Hells Angels New York Nomads chapter.

Taste of Coexistence

CBC is reporting that "Two best friends are pairing up to offer a Middle Eastern feast every week at the University of British Columbia but the unique lunch is more than just falafel and hummus — it's about tearing down walls. The "Taste of Coexistence" lunches are hosted by two chefs: one is Jewish and from Israel, the other is Muslim and of Palestinian descent. Both run restaurants in Vancouver, where their friendship has flourished despite what they were taught growing up."

"For the rest of the semester every Wednesday from 12 to 1 pm, Hillel House will serve a delicious $8 Middle Eastern style buffet catered alternately by restaurants Chickpea and Aleph."

"Bregman was pleased to see children of the Palestinian and Isreali restauranteurs playing around, calling that the face of coexistence. 'We may not be able to affect what's going to happen thousands and thousands of miles away, but we can affect how we deal with one another here,' said Bregman." This is the Vancouver that I was born and raised in.

This is the Vancouver where a Jewish Rabbi was invited to speak at a Muslim Mosque and blew a rams horns to wake the community up in support of religious freedom. Je me souviens.

Woman shot in Chilliwack dies from injuries

The Chilliwack Progress is reporting that "Three days after a shooting at a house on Victor Street in Chilliwack the case is now a homicide. A woman in her 40s who was said to be in critical condition after the Tuesday shooting succumbed to her injuries, according to Chilliwack RCMP late Friday. The woman in her 40s was found at the house on Victor between Bole and Cleveland avenues with life-threatening injuries after the report of a shooting at approximately 1 p.m. on Feb. 26. Two broken windows were visible at the front of the house."

Terry Sawchuk film Goalie debuts March 1st 2019

Goalie, a new movie about the life of Terry Sawchuk debuts March 1st in Vancouver and in Toronto. This starts off back in the day when goalies didn't wear face masks. Ya gotta respect that. Gerry Cheevers claimed that his mask spared him from over 150 medical stitches over his career. Terry Sawchuk didn't wear one until 1959.



Now Toronto is reporting that "Adriana Maggs’s film about the NHL star who died at 40 is a devastating look at one man’s dedication to a game that broke him. Goalie is a biopic about Terry Sawchuk, a kid from Winnipeg who played for four of the Original Six teams, held the all-time NHL record for the most wins, and died after a drunken fight in 1970. He was 40 years old, and a wreck. Adriana Maggs’s movie shows us how he got there."

The Hamilton Spectator is reporting that "In tracing the triumphant but ultimately tragic life of goalie great Terry Sawchuk, screenwriter-director Adriana Maggs had plenty of clippings and statistics to help her depict his stellar on-ice record. Harder to parse was the inner turmoil of the taciturn Winnipegger, whose remarkable run with the National Hockey League included a career record of 103 regular-season shutouts but also left him physically and emotionally shattered."

"Sawchuk's off-ice exploits were infamously punctuated by bouts of rage, depression and heavy drinking, and Maggs says she wanted to make sure 'Goalie' captured his personal struggles with unflinching honesty. For that, she turned to the poems of her father, Randall Maggs, whose 2007 book "Night Work: The Sawchuk Poems" portrayed the hockey hero in very human terms."

This is a Canadian made movie that dives into the dark side of the story. It is epic.

Mark O’Brien and Georgina Reilly's interview on Breakfast Television.



Update: OK I've seen the movie now and I can truthfully say it is very well done. I'm not really a hockey guy myself but I totally respect the rugged courage it took to play that position back then and the movie portrays the human side of the tragedy very tastefully. Think about it, a boxer takes a beating in the ring from someone wearing gloves just like in the UFC. Getting hit in the face with a puck is a lot worse then getting hit in the face with a bare fist. The raw courage he had to take that kind of a beating over a prolonged period was amazing.

Judge refuses to strip Mongols of its trademark

NBC is reporting that "A federal judge in California has declined to approve a jury’s decision to strip the Mongols motorcycle club of its trademarked logo. U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, who oversaw the racketeering trial late last year when the Mongol Nation was convicted, cited constitutional protections against intrusions on free speech and excessive fines, in his decision Thursday. "The First Amendment and Eighth Amendment permanently prohibit the Government's request to forfeit the rights associated with the collective symbols," Carter wrote in the decision."

This is the right decision. The FBI's obsession to seize the Mongols patch was excessive and punitive. The flag has been unfurled as has the free republic it represents. Aging Rebel's take.

Man charged with murdering a Hells Angels associate in Montreal

The Montreal Gazette is reporting that "Charges were filed Tuesday in connection with three murders carried out in the St-Léonard borough in December. In one case, Giovanni Presta Jr., 33, of Terrebonne is accused of first-degree murder in the death of Sébastien Beauchamp, 44, a former member of a Hells Angels support club who was gunned down on Dec. 20 at a gas station in the borough." Terrebonne is right beside Laval where the 17 year old girl recently went missing.

Sébastien Beauchamp was a member of the Rockers as opposed to the Rock Machine. The Rockers are an old puppet club that have sold drugs for the Hells Angels since the days of Stéphane Sirois. The Rockers is the group Greg Wooley was with. Giovanni Presta is accused of assisting hit man Frederick Silva in Sébastien Beauchamp's murder.

Frédérick Silva has been charged in the murder of "Daniel Somoza-Gildea, a Concordia student who died on May 24, 2017, after he was shot when an argument that started inside the Cabaret les Amazones spilled out into the strip bar’s parking lot. Hours after he was arrested on Saturday, Silva was also charged at the Montreal courthouse with the first-degree murder of Alessandro Vinci, 31, the sales manager of a Laval car dealership who was gunned down on Oct. 11."

"Also on Tuesday, Fodil-Abderhamane Lakehal, 21, was charged with manslaughter in the Dec. 24 deaths of Davis Arbour, 38, and Marc-Hilary Dasilma, 41. Arbour is reported to have been a member of the Devil’s Ghosts and Dasilma was described in court documents as an influential member of a Montreal street gang." The Devil's Ghosts are affiliated with the Hells Angels.



The Journal of Montreal is reporting that "In Quebec, several hired assassins preferred to collaborate with the police in confessing their crimes, while incriminating the sponsors and accomplices of their murders, in order to save their lives. This is particularly the case of Gallant, who also sentenced 11 people, former Angel Hells Angel Trudeau (involved in 43 murders), Donald Lavoie (27 murders for the Dubois clan) and the mafia killer Real Simard (five murders)."

Bruno Lefebvre, a member of the Rockers was shot in Montreal January 2013.

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper at the Oscars

I'm going to comment on Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's stunning performance at the Oscars which everyone is talking about. The performance of the song Shallow was flawless but that's not what everyone's talking about. Everyone is saying they're sleeping together. I would just like to clarify that you all are completely missing the point. Both of them.

After 2:00 in the video Lady Gaga nails is. It doesn't matter what color her hair is. It doesn't matter whether or not she is wearing any make up. (In the movie she was brunette without makeup and very exposed then was a redhead towards the end) It doesn't even matter what crazy outfit, hat or mask she is wearing to get someone to finally listen to her. Close your eyes and listen to her sing that line. She nailed it. She showed her magnificent ability to sing. That's where ya'll are supposed to cheer and applaud. If you listen carefully this is where a blind man sees.

Bradley Cooper's ex wife has taken some heat for a comment she made about it. A comedian posted on Twitter Is there any chance these two aren't f*cking? And she replied Ha. Now fair enough that was somewhat ambiguous. She could have been denying the accusation for all we know. Nevertheless in her Instagram rant she made a false statement. She said her book wasn't about her ex and didn't even mention him. It was about her gluten intolerance. That is simply untrue. Her book did mention her ex and did trash him an a very childish and petty manner.

My concern wasn't what Jennifer Esposito said on twitter. My concern is what she said in her "memoir" about him. “I should have noticed the red flags from the beginning—actually, they were more like an entire marching band squad of red flags — but I ignored them because, honestly, I didn’t think the relationship was really going to go anywhere,” she wrote. “He was funny, smart, cocky, arrogant, and a master manipulator. I didn’t necessarily find him that attractive, but I figured that I could enjoy his sense of humor and nonsense for a while.”

That's not a marriage, that's fling. Saying that in a book after the fact is petty and cheap. She's trying to trash him and make herself look good but she did the opposite. She looks very self indulged. It was a good thing he didn't have any kids with her.

In contrast, Bradley Cooper's current girlfriend, Russian supermodel Irina Shayk, the mother of his child, is a wonderful person comfortable in her own skin. She hugged Lady Gaga after the performance and sat between them at the venue.



Now I'm going to talk about leaving the shallow. The mob is fickle and Hollywood is shallow. As always, we should aspire to something higher. The movie A Star is Born is no Mr & Mrs Smith. It has profound depth. As I said before it will rip your heart out.

Bradley Cooper directed and costarred in the movie. He was one of the writers. He didn't portray himself as some studly action hero in the script. He portrayed himself as an alcoholic struggling with that disease. The movie wasn't about a steamy affair. It was about a woman who was married to an alcoholic and the challenges they faced.

In the movie Ally is on stage accepting a Grammy, while her husband Jack stagers up on stage drunk and pisses himself in front of everyone. It was mortifying. He had to stay drunk so he didn't have to deal with the embarrassment. When he got sober dealing with the embarrassment was too much to bear. This movie is far from the shallow. It has profound depth. It forces us to think about how addiction adversely affects all of us. It is a sobering thought indeed. Well done.



Perhaps Lady Gaga is feeling a little like Alanis Morissette right now. Perhaps not. As Bradley Cooper explained, that's how love songs are supposed to make you feel. The indisputable fact is that her acting debut was a flawless victory. Let her shine and give credit where credit is due.

Lady Gaga sets the record straight

The Washington Post is reporting that "Grab a tissue and say it with us: Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper are not in love. The singer, toting her Oscar in a bag (seriously) appeared on Wednesday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” where she addressed the hubbub: No, she and Cooper are not running off into the sunset together. They are two actors who were acting while singing a love song from a movie at an awards ceremony celebrating actors at the top of their craft (emphasis mostly ours). Here’s how Gaga put it:

“First of all, like, social media quite frankly is the toilet of the Internet and what it has done to pop culture is just abysmal,” she told Kimmel. “And yes, people saw love and, guess what, that’s we wanted you to see. This is a love song, ‘Shallow.’ The movie, ‘A Star Is Born’ is a love story.” “Are you having an affair with Tony Bennett?” Kimmel joked. Gaga gave a coy glance before breaking into a laugh. “No!” she said. “No, I’m an artist and I guess we did a good job. Fooled ya!”



Brie Larson and Samuel L Jackson Parody of the performance

DK's interview played at Jamie Bacon's trial

Kim Bolan is reporting that a video tape of Dennis Karbovanec explaining to the police what happened when he was shot at was played at Jamie Bacon's murder trial. It sure has opened a can of worms. Literally. Jamie Bacon is on trial for ordering the murder of his own associate in the Surrey Six. The two star witnesses are the shooter Jamie hired and the sleazebag sent to lure DK into a trap. This is all one big cease pool of parasites exposed so it is.

"Karbovanec told police that he figured out that Johnston was likely not involved because he was also left behind after the others fled and also seemed surprised by what happened. After the shooting, Johnston called out to Karbovanec as he was hiding in the bushes. I say: ‘Matt, what the f–k happened? He goes: ‘CD tried to shoot you.’ I go: ‘What the f—, man?’”

Exactly. WTF. "In another clip, Karbovanec said AB called him after the attempted murder. “My cell phone starts to ring at home. I answer it. I go: ‘You f—ing piece of sh–. You missed, you f—ing goof.’ I hang up the phone,” Karbovanec recounted to police. “He phones back again. I pick up the phone and go: ‘How dare you, you betraying piece of sh–. I’m your friend and you tried to kill me.’ I’m like: ‘F— you man, I’m alive and you missed.’ I hang up the phone again.”

"AB testified Monday that the parts of Karbovanec’s interview played in court were shown to him by police after he was arrested for the shooting in August 2010." So there ya have it. AB is the one that lured DK to a dead end street and CD is the one Jamie hired to shoot DK. Allegedly. DK was a co accused in the Surrey Six. DK shot Chris Mohan who was an innocent bystander. As soon as they start busting caps DK's way he goes running to the PoPo like a f*cking Teletubbie just like the Softside did. That's the red and white's MO here in BC.

Likewise, AB, the one that lured his friend into a dead end road to get shot flips as soon as the police show him the video of DK's interview. So he and the shooter both cut a deal to avoid having to go to jail. There is nothing noble in that. It's great that they are finally going after the person who ordered the murder but I want to be very clear, there are no good guys here. These are all two bit sleazebags out for themselves and no one else.

The only hero in all of this is Anton. He wasn't involved and he testified because he knew it was the right thing to do. DK didn't cooperate with the police because he had a moral epiphany. He cooperated with the police because they were busting caps in his direction.

Kim Bolan also reported that after the botched hit on DK Jamie Bacon got AB to write DK a note telling DK why AB wanted him dead and Jonathon Preppy little dead a*ss b*ch Bacon delivered the note to DK to throw suspicion off of Jamie. AYFKM? A cesspool of sleazebags alright.

They lure one of their friends aside and try to shoot him then deny it was them after they missed. That is the MO of these preppy little b*tches that I object to. DK was shocked. What are you doing? I'm your friend?! The same thing you did to Corey Lal and his guys. You betrayed them and they betrayed you. It's a dog eat dog world. I don't mean dog as in Dawg. I mean dog as in dog sh*t because that's all they are. There is no L&R or honor in any of them. None whatsoever.
