Vancouver police rescue kidnap victim in crime linked to gang in eastern Canada

Seven people are facing charges after police in Vancouver rescued a kidnap victim in a crime linked to a gang in eastern Canada.

The 29-year-old victim was abducted in the city's downtown on Oct. 20 and police were quickly able to trace the crime to a suburban Richmond business, which was put under surveillance, Desmarais told reporters. While police were working on a recovery operation, another team was watching as a blindfolded man was taken from the business and put in a vehicle.

Officers followed the car and watched as it pulled over and the kidnap victim was pushed from the vehicle. Police rescued the kidnap victim from the roadway. Other officers arrested five suspects in two vehicles, and police said two other suspects turned themselves in later.

"The kidnapping was financially motivated," Desmarais said. "Some of the individuals we arrested have documented links to the Red Scorpions and Independent Soldiers." Who in turn are both connected to the Hells Angels.

Those arrested are: 28-year old Nazfar Mirhadi of North Vancouver, 42-year old Demple Brar from Richmond, 28-year old Robert Carr of Abbotsford and 24-year old Edmond Gammel from Surrey. Three people from Kamloops are also in custody. They are 30-year old Thomas Crawford, 28-year old David Tarrant and 20-year old Veronica Moncur.

Thomas Crawford? He used to be with the IS but someone claims he got kicked out and was arrested for kidnapping in Vancouver on October 24 2011 but there has been a publication ban on that case already. That's bizarre. Usually only the Hells Angels get publication bans that fast.

What I want to know is which drug dealer did they kidnap and why did the police devote 41 investigators to the operation, which Desmarais described as "the largest deployment of our kidnapping protocol in recent years."

BC Hydro is becoming a new Enron

Enron is a good case to study. Talk about BC Rail being plagued with insider sell offs. Enron was the disastrous result of the United States trying to privatize it's energy. That rise and fall is the perfect example of corporate corruption leading to investment fraud.

Yesterday the Vancouver Sun reported that Questionable bookkeeping methods by BC Hydro have put ratepayers on the hook for $2.2 billion in public debt – with no apparent plan in place to recover the money, Auditor-General John Doyle warned in an audit report on Wednesday.

Doyle said that if Hydro stays with the practice of deferring large debts rather than paying them back and balancing its books each year, the total debt will swell to $5 billion by 2017.

This is not a plea to let BC Hydro raise it's rates. It's a plea for greater public accountability which the Campbell Government removed. Since there was such a public resistance to the privatization of BC Hydro, the Campbell Government pulled the carpet out from underneath it. They separated it into two. They privatized Terasen Gas and they privatized energy developers. The people that Hydro buys the power from. It was a dirty deal.

The private energy developers are mandated to make a profit and sell the power to BC Hydro at above market rates just because it can. This is what has strategically created BC Hydro's debt so they can justify privatizing the whole thing and creating another Enron disaster. While Christy Clark smiles and giggles her way to stardom of course. BTW getting your picture taken with Preston Manning doesn't make her a conservative. Just a Neo Con.

Goldman Sachs ripped off European Taxpayers

The Greek financial crisis is in the news again and is effecting our economy as well. We've talked about how the Greek financial crisis was the result of investment fraud. Jochen Zeitz, the outgoing chief executive of Puma, claimed: "This is about systematic evasion and embezzlement." What was public money is now, mysteriously, become very private money.

The former manager of a well known and reliable insurance company in Rhodes, convinced Rhodian investors with substantial financial standing, to redeem their mutual fund units and reinvest in virtual and non-existent securities funds, which he had invented. Greek "Madoffs" are springing up like mushrooms.

Well the latest news is that after this investment fraud was allowed to create a financial crisis in Greece, Goldman Sachs helped hide that debt so they could join the EU and get a tax payers bailout. This is causing investors to call for more regulation not less. Deregulation enables investment fraud.

Henry Paulson was the former CEO of Goldman Sachs and became the US treasury secretary under George W. Bush. Goldman Sachs became Obama's #1 Private Contributor.

Hells Angel shooting in Ottawa Shopping Mall

Two men were killed in a shooting Wednesday night in an east-end Ottawa shopping mall. One of the victims has been identified as Graham Thomas, co-owner of the Caribbean Exposure tanning salon, in which or near where the shots are believed to have been fired.

Thomas was arrested in 2000 in a police operation to dismantle the region's most prolific supply chains for cocaine and other drugs. He was a lieutenant for Richard Clarke, of Montreal, who was a broker between cocaine suppliers in Montreal and a relatively big drug-distribution network in the Ottawa area.

Police sources told CBC News Graham Thomas was running a "criminal" enterprise in Ottawa for several years and had affiliations with the Hells Angels. Sources told CBC News Thomas may have done enforcement work for the Hells Angels but was not a full patch member of the gang.

In 2000, Thomas was arrested in a major raid on some of Ottawa's major drug dealers, police said at the time. The Hells Angels motorcycle gang was also the focus of that drug bust. However, Outlaws, rivals of the Hells Agnels, were also targeted.

Court records show Thomas was set to appear in court next Sept. 17 for charges of assault with a weapon and aggravated assault. The charges came after an incident May 5 this year when police said Thomas assaulted another man with a baseball bat.

Court records also show Thomas escaped charges and jail time in four other charges for assault, drugs and break and enter. They were all withdrawn during an eight-year period between 1997 and 2005.

Two sources told the Ottawa Citizen the second man was Jason Chapman. Jason was convicted of drug trafficking in 2007. Police sources also said Chapman was a driver for Thomas because he lost his license due to the impaired driving charges in 2008. Thomas rode in a Bentley GT worth about $250,000, one of only two in Ottawa, police sources said.

So the question is, were the shooters from a rival gang or was it just another case of the Hells Angels shooting their own as house cleaning. And the answer is: False allegations of being a police informant. Just like Britney Irving. They didn't even notice the spelling errors in the fake report. Ontario Village Idiots.

367 kilograms of cocaine seized

Another man has been arrested as part of a major drug investigation that spans from Vancouver to Regina, Saskatchewan. Troy Ernest Swanson, a 25-year-old from Coldstream has been charged with Importation of Cocaine, Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking Cocaine, Participating in a Criminal Organization, Conspiracy to Import Cocaine. Coldstream - that's in Vernon.

Swanson along with three other men from B.C. are allegedly part of a criminal organization that imported cocaine into Canada through unmanned boarder crossings in southern Saskatchewan. Gee I wonder which criminal organization was selling cocaine in Vernon with the Greeks? Looks like the Calgary hells angels connection to Vernon has been replaced with the 51 Edmonton Hells Angels connection.



Speaking of the Edmonton Hells Angels, (EA - 51) it's amazing to see how large their cocaine operation is in Northern Alberta and how much control they had over it. Even with that large cocaine bust of their puppet club the White Boys Posse, the media admitted most of those involved were out on bail right away.



It's amazing how many small cities in Northern Alberta the Hells Angels were supplying with cocaine and controlling the drug market there. It sure makes you wonder if some of the recent shooting homicides in Edmonton were tied to the drug trade and the Hells Angels. We know that one of the two individuals shot in the bullet ridden SUV at the Edmonton cemetery had a criminal record for possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.



Those low life slobs from the White boys Posse sure make the term white supremacist an oxymoron. Those Nazi slobs look like dirty pigs. They sure don't look any better than anyone else.

New Developments at Pickton Inquiry

A disturbing new development at the Pickton inquiry. Lynn Frey, the step mother of one of the murder victims found on the Pickton farm, took the stand at the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry on Monday to insist she told Vancouver police about the farm belonging to killer Robert Pickton years before he was arrested.

Frey said after what she felt was "indifference" from Campbell River RCMP and the VPD, she finally found a "caring, compassionate" police officer, Vancouver Det. Const. Lori Shenher, who was assigned to missing persons.

"I gave all my information to Lori," said Frey, including details of the Pickton farm and the rampant street rumours about the wood chipper. She said Shenher scolded her for going to the Pickton farm and told her to "leave police work to us."

But lawyer David Crossin, acting for the Vancouver Police Union and Shenher, told Frey in cross-examination that Shenher "has no record in her notes" of ever being told by Frey about the pig farm. Frey replied, to loud applause from the audience, that police were covering up.

"There's a big cover up here, I know what I said," Frey insisted.

The lawyer for the Vancouver Police Union said Shenher "has no record in her notes" of ever being told by Frey about the pig farm. Wow. That is disheartening. Like who's side is this guy on? I am starting to wonder if the cover up involves more than indifference over missing sex trade workers.

We know that the Hells Angels attended parties on site at Piggy's Palace. We know they tried to deny this but witnesses confirmed they were there all the time. In fact the court was told the Hells Angels ran a grow op on site. But there's more.

Some claim police officers also attended parties at Piggy's palace. At first I sluffed that off as nonsense, but now I'm beginning to wonder. Corruption can enter any organization. We saw it infiltrate the bench in Prince George. Judge Ramsay was convicted of violent sexual assault of under age native women. There was a huge cover up of that case before it went to trial and he was convicted.

There were even allegations at the time some police officers were involved in the Ramsay case. I recall reading about how one of the police officers who was accused of being involved, sued the RCMP for investigating him. I kid you not. Surely if the allegation is out there, investigating that allegation is in everyone's best interest.

The Globe and Mail is reporting that the inquiry will hear that off-duty officers “frequented” Piggy’s Palace, Mr. Ward said, without elaborating on whether the police were undercover or not. Those are some pretty significant allegations.

The are some pretty extreme and dramatic allegations of police officers involved in raping prostitutes and doing all sorts of twisted things. If I'm not mistaken the Picktom inquiry recently heard testimony from one witness who claimed she was a prostitute and was blackmailed by members of the VPD forcing her to have sex with them or they would arrest her. I am concerned how deep the cover up has gone. Evidently those allegations at the time fell on deaf ears.

It reminds me of the story about RCMP officers getting caught trying to smuggle a prostitute onto a cruise ship in a hockey bag during the Olympics. That one was denied and swept under the carpet. Yet there were two officers "investigated" for sexual assault of other female officers during the Olympics. We even had our own Colonel Wing Nut out in Revelstoke several years ago.

A reporter recently said they distinctly remember hearing on the radio news of a huge Hells angels drugs and guns bust around the time Pickton was arrested. All of a sudden, those charges were dropped and Pickton was given up along with the location of several bodies. Robert's brother Dave, who was a Hells Angels associate at the time, according to Robert's lawyer, knew where the bodies were buried and told the police shortly thereafter.

Another Surrey Shooting ends in fatality

A masked gunman was seen running up to a black Acura in a strip mall at 100th Avenue and King George Highway about 8:20 p.m. and firing several rounds inside. The driver of the Acura, Stephen Leone, was found by police and emergency responders slumped over the steering wheel. He was taken to hospital and later pronounced dead.

Stephen Leone had a criminal record for drug trafficking. Kim Bolan is reporting he is with the Dhak gang who the Hells Angels have been shooting for selling drugs in their area. Gee I wonder who is responsible for this murder? At least now we can finally see the truth and clearly see who is ultimately responsible.

Khun-Khun shot, Billy Woo murdered and now Stephen Leone. Three Surrey shootings for the Hells Angels in five weeks. That's not even counting the one outside the Mirage. Imagine that. It would appear their direct involvement in the Vancouver gang war is nothing new after all. Eric Sandberg did tell agent 22 "they" were ready to wipe out all the competition in Surrey back in 2009.

The fact that the Hells angels are currently using violence to maintain their grip on the drug trade in Surrey, renewed concerns arise about then Hells angels involvement with prostitution. They kept lying about the drugs. What else have they lied about? I keep thinking about that graffiti I saw on a burned out house several years ago a few doors up from the Surrey House of Horrors right by where a Hells Agnella lived. Or at least right by where a Hells Agnella parked his truck.

We know that East Van Hells Angel Joseph Bruce Skreptak owned a house in Kelowna with a grow op in it. He claimed the grow op belonged to the tenants not to him even though his truck was parked outside with a Hells angels bumper sticker on it and Hells angels bumper stickers displayed in the grow op.

Here's the double edged sword: if the Hells angels are currently using such brazen violence to control the drug trade in Surrey, how could they not have been in charge of the drugs being sold out of the Surrey House of Horrors? It defies logic to conceive that anyone but the Hells angels were the ones supplying the Surrey House of Horrors with cocaine.

Juel Stanton was taking over grow ops for the Hells Angels at that time. John Punko and Ron Lising were convicted of selling cocaine and crystal meth in Surrey at that time. John Punko and Ron Lising were also in charge of Kerry Ryan Renaud who was a huge meth cook for the Hells Angels just like they were doing in Kelowna. The Hells angels were in control of the drug trade then just like they are now.

So if they controlled the drug trade in Surrey at that time, how could they not control the prostitution in Surrey at that time? We know once they get involved in a illicit money maker, they use violence to take it over.

Years ago the Vancouver Sun quoted Andy Richards who said: There used to be six or seven agencies that handled strippers in Vancouver, but now two are controlled by the Angels or associates and one is an independent, Richards said.

In the early 1990s, Richards said, the now-dead Hells Angels member Donald Roming was one of the key enforcers helping push others out of the stripper business -- at one point seriously assaulting one of the owners of another agency.

"Without speaking ill of the dead, he was responsible for laying a very serious beating on a 67-year-old man who was involved with one of the independent companies at the time, to the point this guy was hospitalized," he explained.

So we know the Hells Angels used violence to take over the stripper agencies in BC. We are told the Hells angels run a prostitution ring in Maple Ridge at La JJ's. We are told they also ran one under the same name in Kelowna and used violence there to control the trade.

Back in Australia a teenager told police he killed two Thai prostitutes as a "favour" for the Hells Angels. That of course brings us back to the Pickton farm.

Speaking of prostitution and the Hells angels, why is it that during the Summer in Kelowna people claim they always see guys on Harley's checking to make sure the hookers are working? You'd think they were their pimps or something.

The Christy Clark

Evidently the term the Christy Clark is becoming synonymous with the term con job. We had high hopes for Chritsy. Those hopes have been shattered. She was a good talk radio host. Maybe she'd be better off like Sarah Palin on some reality TV show instead of in government.

This video clip from a reporter with the George Straight blows my mind. It's a reporter from a newspaper asking for an interview. Instead of answering any questions she completely ignores him and keeps smiling for the photo shoot. Holy brain dead airheads batman that was rude.

So far her term in office has been nothing but smiles and giggles posing in a Canucks jersey and handing out free candy. I guess she figures that getting elected to be the head of the Liberal party makes her the queen. She doesn't have to say anything intelligent she just has to keep smiling and giggling like an airhead. I find this immensely offensive given the venue she was smiling at.

People are outside protesting George Bush's presence because of his support of torture and she is ignoring the concerns and grinning ear in support of those heinous acts mocking those genuine concerns. That is exactly what she's doing. That is so disappointing. What on earth is happening to our provincial politics? Giggle and smile for the cold hearted bastards that raise taxes more than the left's wildest imaginations and spend it on themselves. Tragic indeed.

Evidently, after larger than expected crowds flooded into Vancouver in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final, Mayor Gregor Robertson wrote to Premier Christy Clark pleading for extra police funding to ensure “safe and fun celebrations” — and Clark turned him down.

She said she can appreciate that such events do entail extra police attention to ensure public safety,” but “we currently ... have no plans to make further contributions to policing costs for special events.”

“I have noted your request for additional funding for policing based on the nature of this extraordinary public event,” Clark wrote. “I want to ensure you that your comments and those of Chief Constable Chu have been given every consideration during our discussions and in our review of existing contributions.” Smile and giggles as the city burns. What a freaking airhead. Exactly what the Campbell Crusade wanted. A poster girl for Campbell's insanity. God help us.

Incidentally Mayor Gregor Robertson is promising more police if reelected. Imagine that. Harper promised to get tough on crime then cut funding for the RCMP. Now after he plans on spending all that money on way more jets than we need for a contract with one of his candidates lobbyist groups he's freezing funding for the military. Now he's going to screw up the military after overspending on more equipment than we needed. Having a few fighter jets for self protection is one thing but a whole fleet to a company his candidate lobbied for? That is conflicted. That's what we call a neo con. They say one thing and do another. Kinda like claiming the other guys are the ones who are going to raise taxes. Yeah right. We've heard that one before Lyin Brian.

Provincially all I see is a traditional conservative like John Cummings who opposes the gas tax or a left wing social conscience who cares about crime, small business and opposes the HST. Right now I just don't see any middle ground in BC. The Christy Crunch has proven that. Sickly sweet with a very bad after taste.

Hells Angel Pleads Guilty to Murder of Cynthia Garcia

We remember the disturbing murder of Cynthia Garcia and the man hunt for Hells Angel Paul Eischeid who was found in Argentina.

Well, Kevin J. Augustiniak, one of several members of the Hells Angels initially charged in Cynthia Garcia's death has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Eischeid remains in Argentina awaiting extradition back to Arizona where he'll face a first-degree murder charge.

Investigators said Garcia was severally beaten, stabbed 27 times, partially decapitated, stuffed in a trunk and dumped in the desert. Eischeid was arrested in 2003 but released on his own recognizance because he had a good job and a relatively clean criminal record.

Gordon Campbell at Bilderberg 2010

I'm not sure what the Bilderberg meetings are all about but here's a picture someone sent me of Gordon Campbell and Peter Mansbridge at Bilderberg 2010.



No doubt the credibility of Bilderberg was diminished with Mr. Campbell's presence. Aside from being a drunken pig, he certainly isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Leaving office with the lowest approval rating for a Premier in Canada was a natural consequence of his bizarre attitude while in office.

I have heard about the Skull and Bones and the Bohemian Grove. Sounds pretty weird to me. I don't know much about the Illuminati other than what was portrayed in the movie Tomb Raider but I don't understand the fear of the all seeing eye logo on the American Dollar. The founding fathers were Freemasons. They had a belief in God. On the US Dollar is the slogan In God We Trust. The all seeing eye in the capstone of the pyramid simply means the all seeing eye of God who we are told is the great architect of the Universe.

Personally I think all the paranoia about the Freemasons is a smoke and mirror distraction for the real concern. Not only were George Washington and Ben Franklin Masons, but there were many Masons involved in the Labour movement. The carpenter's Union is but one example.



Free Masons pledge to believe in a higher power and strive to live moral upright lives. They promise to keep their religious traditions secret not the crimes of other Free Masons secret.

No doubt break aways from the free Masons can change those objectives. The Skull and bones sect sounds just plain weird. However, let us remember that it was Free Masons that helped write and frame the U.S. Constitution which preserved on paper the liberty and freedom we all cherish so dearly.

In fact, me thinks Free Masons would be appropriate allies in over coming these dark secret groups that conspire to destroy the liberty and agency of man and enslave them to corrupt corporations driven by greed. The secret societies Kennedy warned about were not the Free Masons, they were the CIA. The ones who submitted Operation Northwoods which he had vetoed.
