Father and son arrested in Armstrong Murder

Matthew Foerster, 26, was arrested at a hotel in Collingwood, Ont., on April 4, the same day his father Stephen Roy Foerster was arrested at his home in Cherryville, B.C.

Matthew is facing charges of second-degree murder and sexual assault. Stephen, 58, faces charges of obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact to murder. Both remain in custody.

Matthew Foerster has also been charged with sexual assault in a 2005 attack on an escort in Kelowna, B.C. He was further charged with breaking and entering and assault with a weapon in relation to a home invasion that happened in Cherryville in 2004. In that incident, a 19-year-old woman was seriously assaulted, police said.

The Aging Rebel on the Garcia case

One blog reader expressed some concerns about one of the web sites I link to. They expressed the concern that the blogger was very pro HA and some of the comments on his blog were offensive. I have to agree some of the comments on the blog are very offensive. It illuminates the insanity of blind sheep following depravity and using any excuse to rationalize it.

The case in question involves the Yvonne Garcia murder. Fugitive Paul Eischeid was found and arrested in Argentina. Recently Kevin Augustiniak plead guilty to his involvement in that murder. It was a deranged act where a single mother was invited to a Hells Angels party in Arizona and ended up dead. She was stabbed 27 times and dumped in the desert. Paul Eischeid was quoted as saying nobody will even notice her missing. They’ll probably Jane Doe her.

Some of the offensive comments on the blog made statements like my condolences to the club and to the person accused of her murder. Comments like she was just a drug addict or a rude person is now dead. Although that deranged sheep like offensive insanity exists, I don’t think the Aging Rebel shared those sentiments. It appears that he agreed it was a heinous crime. His concern appears to be that the police informant, who received a greatly reduced sentence for testifying, was allegedly the ring leader of the murder.

If that is true, then that would indeed be a concern. It reminds me of the Jeff Lynds case in Eastern Canada. The guy confessed to murdering Randy Mersereau for the Hells Angels. Yet he wasn’t charged in his murder. Lesser accessories were including his own nephew. In that case I can understand why the crown would make a plea bargain so the family could get closure in a cold case that had no hope of being solved with no hope of even discovering the body.

Yet it would be hard to understand why the police would take a plea bargain from the orchestrator of the Yvonne Garcia murder, just to convict lesser accessories. I suppose one could argue it was rapidly becoming a cold case as the likelihood of convictions began to spin out of reach. One could also argue the claim that the police informant was the actual orchestrator of the murder is hearsay. However, I will concede that it is entirely possible.

The bottom line is that I agree it was a heinous act. To say that she deserved it because she was a drug addict is very offensive. That is a slanderous unproven allegation. In fact that never came up. If she was, it was likely the Hells Angels that sold her the drugs.

The official version of the story is that she went to a Hells Angels party and started mouthing off the Hells Angels. Not very believable and a very convenient claim. Kind of like the absurd claim that the person charged in the Guthrie McKay and Lisa Dudley murder killed his ex girlfriend in self defense. Oh she came at me with a baseball bat in a drug induced rage so I killed her in self defense. Highly unlikely. More like another dirt bag killed his ex.

Even if a woman who was invited to a Hells Angels party did start to mouth off, which I do not believe happened in this case, it was not just cause to stab her 27 times and murder her. That isn’t a manly thing to do. Just like the woman beaten into a coma outside the Hells Angels clubhouse in New York. Oh she mouthed off so we killed her. Not likely and not a good enough excuse for murder. It’s a pat answer to stop people from asking too many questions. Kind of like we killed her because she was an informant. Even when she clearly wasn’t.

So I would agree all the participants and accessories in the Garcia murder are equally to blame. Another concern I have is with the police informant. He was a meth addict which the courts claim make him highly untrustworthy. More concerning is the claim that he had a wife and child and started going to church. Did he participate in the Garcia murder while he was attending church? Anyone can change but living a double life is sheer hypocrisy. Married with a child. Did his wife know he was living a double life? I think many other wives of club members really don’t clue in to the double life their husbands lead. What happens in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam I suppose.

Nevertheless, glorifying Kevin Augustiniak for what he did in the big House Crew clearly shows that the organization is deranged right to it's roots and if it's roots are evil, it is unlikely anything good will come from it.

Wally Oppal and the Picktons of the world

Wally Oppal made an absurdly hypocritical plea for another pay cheque in the paper today. As the Missing Women’s Red Herring Inquiry reconvenes, Wally Oppal made an appeal to continue with the inquiry so all the other Picktons in the world don't win. Somehow proceeding with the highly censored "Panel Discussion" will in some way prevent another serial killer in some other part of the world from getting away with committing murder. Does he really not understand how insanely hypocritical that statement is?

Most of the victims on the Pickton farm were drug addicted sex trade workers. As soon as one of the lawyers starts to talk how the Hells Angels were linked to the Pickton farm and how the Hells Angels control the drug trade in the DTES, Wally Oppal shut him down and wouldn’t let him talk about that. Despite the fact that was highly relevant.

At that point Wally Oppal folded the inquiry into a panel discussion so the real issues could not be discussed. After that, the only lawyer representing aboriginal people who hadn't already boycotted the farce publicly withdrew claiming the inquiry had lost all credibility. Oppal is the one that folded the inquiry into a panel discussion so the real issues couldn't be discussed. For him to pretend he cares about justice is offensive.

If a drug dealer who sells drugs for the Hells angels in the DTES pushes a woman out of a window for a drug debt, that is highly relevant to the future well being of woman on the DTES. Ashley Machiskinic wasn’t the only one.

Wally Oppal obviously has no regard whatsoever for preventing this kind of atrocity from happening again. It appears he only wants to appease the public and collect a pay cheque at the expense of the most exploited in East Vancouver.

If he was sincerely concerned about preventing this kind of atrocity form repeating itself, he would explore the most important question which should be the heart of the mandate for the missing women inquiry. That question is found in the directions the judge gave to the jury in Robert Pickton’s conviction.

Before the jury left for deliberations, the judge told them that they could convict Robert Pickton of murder even if he had accomplices and wasn’t the only one involved. In fact, the judge even went so far as to say the jury could convict Robert Pickton even if he wasn’t the primary person involved in the murders. He told the jury they could convict Willy even if he was just a willing precipitant. I.E. disposed of the bodies someone else murdered. The defense lawyer was understandably flabbergasted. The whole trial was based on the premise that Robert Pickton was a serial killer and was the only one involved. Then all of a sudden right before the jury breaks for deliberations the judge completely changed the mandate.

I’m not saying Robert Pickton should have won his appeal nor an I saying I disagree with the instructions the judge gave to the jury. I am saying the instructions the judge gave to the jury were very important and should form the mandate for the missing woman inquiry. It is highly likely Robert Pickton wasn’t the only person involved in all those murders. Who else was involved? That is the primary objective of any responsible citizen who has a genuine concern that this atrocity not be repeated.

The Real Free Enterprise Party

There was an article in the Vancouver Province today that talked about how BC Liberals are continuing to jump ship in favour of the BC Conservatives under the leadership of John Cummings. I found the sub heading to the article somewhat bizarre. It said Free-enterprise parties tied as Adrian Dix and the NDP sit at 43%.

Hold the door. Gordon Campbell and Christy Crunch's liberals have absolutely nothing to do with free enterprise. Stop saying that. Where did such an absurd misconception come from? Low and behold it came from a Chuck Strahl press release.

Chuck Strahl, a six-term MP for the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon federal riding, will chair the campaign to elect Liberal candidate Laurie Throness on April 19. In a press release Wednesday, Strahl said the B.C. Liberals are the only free-enterprise party of choice. That is the source of the absurdity.

Likewise, the Harper Government is not a Free Enterprise Party. Not at all. They talk the talk but they most certainly don't walk the walk. Their is a difference between supporting huge corporations greed to rip off consumers then supporting free enterprise which implies supporting small business. Ironically enough, Jack Layton spoke a lot about supporting small business. At least when Jack Layton said someone I was a lot more likely to believe him than I was likely to believe anything Stephen Harper of Peter McKay said. Firing whistleblowers for proving they lied was shameful.

I would say John Cummings provincial conservatives are a free Enterprise party. I just think that Harper lost that vision when he merged with Mulroneyism. Something the real free enterprise party broke away from for it's apostasy of conservative values. Pauil Forseth however, has shown he supported Free Enterprise. He opposed TELUS' use of off shore call centres. He is a solid candidate for the BC Conservatives.

Having said that, I don't have the same fear and paranoia about Adrian Dix as Stephen Harper's spin doctors would have us feel. Carol James had dignity. Adrian Dix supports addressing inner city crime. Mike Farnworth would make an awesome Attorney General. Opposing perpetual gas taxes supports small business. Opposing the HST supports small business. Aside form the dramatic and erroneous stereotypes. There is noting in the NDP platform that opposes free enterprise or small business.

Liberal Back Chat in the Vancouver Province:

SIMPLE MESSAGE

The message to politicians is: Don't you ever, ever treat us with such arrogance and disdain or we will vote your sorry butts out.

LIBERALS WILL PAY

The electorate showed this on the HST referendum - and it should come as no shock - that the majority would rather face four years of an NDP government than reward the Liberals for past wrongdoings.

'FIBERALS' SOLD US OUT

Vote NDP, Conservative, Green or even the Pot Party. Just do not vote for the B.C. Fiberals.

The Fiberals have sold us all out with their corruption.

FOOL ME ONCE . . .

Cheating and lying eventually catches up, you can only fool people for so long.

PART NAME IS A LIE

What can you expect from a party that calls itself the "Liberal" Party, but is right of Attila the Hun. Even the name of its party is a lie.

SWITCHING COLOURS

Worst government in B.C. history. After being a longtime Liberal, I am voting NDP. I don't see things changing with a Conservative government. If anything, it will create more corporate tax breaks. Just look at the federal Conservative Party.

LIBERALS, BE GONE!

Best news I have heard in years. What would be even better is to see the Fiberals wiped off the political map in B.C.

WAKE UP TO 'LIEBERALS'

Hallelujah! People are finally starting to wake up to the Lieberal corruption. Trouble is 14 months is a long time to wait. They can cause lots more damage in that length of time. Better to recall them now to save what's left of the province.

LIMITED CHOICES

The NDP are just sitting on their hands. No need for a platform, just wait and take power. B.C. does another polar swing to the left. The right just wants to sell off B.C., then all move to the U.S.A. to play golf 'til they need medical, then they'll come back.

STOP CORRUPT LOBBYING

Time to do away with this gang/party system. Stop business and union donations to parties. Parties should be working for the taxpayers, not entities who want something in return. Stop all this corrupt lobbying.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nationally, opposition leaders are calling for Peter McKay's resignation over the undisclosed snowballing costs of the numerous fighter jets to support Harper's Oil Wars.

"Even if we were to believe that the chief of defence staff and the generals were plotting behind the minister's back to lie to Parliament, to lie to Canadians -- highly unlikely -- it would only prove that the defence minister is not in control of his own department," Mulcair said during question period Wednesday.

"A $10-billion piece of misinformation does not happen by immaculate conception . . . when is the prime minister of Canada going to take responsibility for what took place," Rae asked. Harper take responsibility for anything? Who are you kidding?

Down south Obama just signed legislation to finally stop insider trading within congress. Sounds good. That is a huge problem right now. Let's see if it's ever implemented. After all, Guantanamo bay is still open.

Targeted shooting in Surrey and a Suspicious death

There was a targeted Shooting in Surrey Wednesday nightoutside Safeway at Surrey central. The target was hit in the abdomen and is expected to survive. Not far away there was another Suspicious death in Surrey. A 40 year old man's body was found Sunday morning in the 10500 block of King George. A Suspicious death and a targeted shooting mean the targets were known to the police.

Johnny Newcome and Cycle logic

Johnny Newcome is listed as the president of Cycle logic. He is another full patch member of the Hells Angels. This news report claims that while the police searched his home for information about a Maple ridge grow op, they found he had another grow op in Peachland. I’m not sure how Robert Thomas is connected to Cycle logic but one source claims there is some kind of connection there. Breaking News: Johnny Newcome Busted!

The Three Amigos and the North American Union

The three amigos are in the news. Harper is meeting with Obama and the president of Mexico to discuss free trade. Free trade is one thing but the north american security prosperity partnership is another. There’s nothing really wrong with free trade. Other than sending our jobs to Mexico so the large corporations can exploit cheap labour.

The problem is signing a free trade agreement that really has nothing to do with free trade. The problem is signing a free trade agreement that forfeits our sovernty and removes our democratic rights. I kid you know.

There have been various names for these secret deals that give courts more power than human citizens. First there was NAFTA. Then there was TILMA. Now there’s the NAU or more covertly known as the North American Security and Prosperity Agreement.

NAFTA opened Pandora’s box and TILMA let the plague loose. Under NAFTA UPS sued the Canadian government because they were unable to compete against Canada Post because they already had a delivery system in tact so they had an unfair advantage in being able to provide consumers with a cost effective product. I kid you not. That’s like suing Greyhound for delivering parcels because they already have a network of busses in place. Greyhound delivering parcels only makes sense. Suing them and trying to stop them so someone else can do the same thing at a greater cost is ridiculous.

TILMA was worse. They signed a provincial free trade agreement that made it illegal for any level of government to create a law that would inhibit a corporation’s ability to make a profit. If you want to create a law that would protect the environment and it inhibited a corporation’s ability to make a profit, then that law would be illegal according to the absurd free trade agreement.

If a democratic society chooses to create a public health care system and that system inhibited a private corporation’s ability to make a profit, then that democratic system would be illegal according to the absurd agreement.

Recently Stephen Harper announced that they would let armed US police officers patrol with Canadian police officers in Canada. That has nothing to do with free trade. It is a colossal concern when the US recently passed the most unpatriot act in recorded history that threw away the constitution and the bill of Rights.

Giving the military power to set up checkpoints and arrest “domestic terrorists” without a charge, without representation and without a fair trial is unprecedented and illegal. Especially concerning when at the same time England labeled everyone in the Occupy movement as a domestic terrorist. It is a huge concern when the government throws away the constitution and bill of rights. That is what wars are fought over.

Bacchus and the Darksiders still kiss ass

Police specializing in organized crime are keeping a close watch on the Darksiders, a Dartmouth-based motorcycle club that recently expanded to Bridgewater. Police say the club is a criminal group set up to defend turf for the Hells Angels. The Darksiders have had a clubhouse on Portland Street in Dartmouth for three years.

Mike Weatherley, the group's sergeant-at-arms, said police constantly watch club members. He said the Darksiders support the Hells Angels, but said his club is not a criminal organization.

Weatherley's biker vest is covered in red and white pins paying homage to the Hells Angels. He said the affiliation with the biker gang grew out of a friendship between one Darksider and a childhood friend, who's a member of the Hells Angels in Ontario.

Weatherley's vest may well be covered in Red and White but his smelly nose is sure brown. Look at their ridiculous logo. It sure sucks to be a puppet. Both ways.



Likewise, the members of the St. George chapter of the Bacchus Motorcycle Club say they are not Hell's Angels. Of course not. They aren't real boys, they're just puppets.

In an interview at their clubhouse on Canal Road, chapter president Tim Guthrie and member Morton Cooke say Burden's comments have caused the eight members of the chapter great pain and embarrassment. "I feel bad about what a lot of people think of us now. People look at us differently now. My daughter has even questioned me over it so I had to sit down and explain all this to her," said Guthrie.

lol what's the matter? Did the Po Po tell the public the real story about how you got your name? Bacchus was an alternate name for Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, women and song and their patch is a Roman soldier. Dionysus, my ass. If the club was named after Dionysus, they would be called Dionysus but they're not they're called Bacchus who was a Roman soldier alright. He was openly gay with Sergius and secretly Christian. They should be proud of their true heritage. They're the first 1% club to chose the patron saint of homosexuality for their logo. At least they put a condom on their nose for all that HA ass kissing.

Quebec Hells Angel caught in Panama

Michel Smith, a member of Quebec's Hells Angels who was wanted in Canada for the killings of 22 people as well as for drug trafficking has been arrested in Panama, police confirm. Panama?

Smith was one of 24 Hells Angels members and associates who escaped sweeping raids that targeted high-ranking Hells Angels in Quebec and New Brunswick in April 2009. Those raids led to 129 arrests, and the seizure of millions of dollars in cash, drugs and weapons. The charges laid in that sweep related to homicides and drug trafficking during the height of the province's biker wars.

Homicides and drug trafficking – those go hand in hand. The biker war in Quebec was a fight over drug territory. They were fighting over the right to sell drugs in a given area. It had nothing to do with riding motorcycles or living the dream. It was all about greed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Murdering rivals had absolutely nothing to do with honour and loyalty. It was about money. The money that could be made from drug trafficking. The convictions in Edmonton and Winnipeg clearly shows how this money making machine really works.

Not only do the Hells Angels profit from bringing cocaine into the country to be sold as crack, but they charge their puppet clubs who sell the drugs for them protection money. It’s a double dip. Profiting from the sale of drugs and profiting from the collection of protection money from the people that sell their drugs for them. That is a scam indeed. If they don’t pay their protection money, they’ll get someone else to sell their drugs for them. With friends like that, who needs enemies.

The Great Canadian Bank Bailout Fraud

We did bail out the banks in Canada. I’ve talked about this before but I want to centralize the links because the story keeps getting buried deeper and deeper as time goes on. Most of us thought, myself included, that we didn’t bail out our banks in Canada because we didn’t need to. We didn’t have the same mortgage fraud going on and we didn’t see the same ripple effect of multiple foreclosures of homes like they did in the States. Logic would then imply that there wasn’t the same need to bail out our banks in Canada. That’s without even discussing the fraudulent nature of the Bank bail out in the States.

In fact, when the Occupy movement started in Canada, the Harper government came right out and said our situation in Canada is different than in the US because we didn’t have to use tax dollars to bail out the banks in Canada like they did in the US. We believed them because we thought that was a true statement. After all, that’s not something the government could lie about and get away with or is it?

They did lie about not bailing out the banks. Rabble .ca pointed out that fact very clearly. Some will cover their ears and scream because of the source I just cited. That’s a left wing news source, we can’t trust it. I don’t care if it’s left wing or right wing. Is their claim true or false? That is what I care about.

The Green Party has also posted that the Harper Government did indeed bail out the banks to the tune of $69 billion. That’s billion not million. That single act took us from a surplus in the millions to a deficit in the billions. That was unprecedented.

We can and will debate the merits of a bank bail out. The problem is, we were never given that option and we are still forbidden to debate that issue because then Harper Government has lied about it and covered it up so most voters and most taxpayers doesn’t even know it happened.

This is not a small lie like Peter McKay denied he referred to Belinda Stronach as a dog when he was caught on tape doing so. This is not a small lie like claiming they didn’t know about Harper’s senior aids criminal record for fraud when it was mentioned before he got the job. This isn’t even a big lie like denying we knew Canada was handing over prisoners to be tortured in Afghanistan when we did. That was a big lie. Firing the whistleblower didn’t change that.

Saying that we didn’t bail out the banks when we did is a huge lie. It is unprecedented. It makes the Robocall scandal, as serious and offensive as that is, to be small potatoes in comparison. Cutting our sacred pensions to give to the banks who didn’t need it is the biggest political scandal in Canadian history.

People will scoff at the mainstream media for not running the story. Yet I don’t really think it’s their fault. I really think most people don’t know it happened. To say it did would be to call the current government liars. I think people really need to open their eyes because someone is trying to pull the wool over them.

Now that we have established that the Harper Governement did lie about giving the banks a tax payers bailout, we need to discuss the merits of a bank bailout. Beofre we do that we need to come to some kind of financial accounting. Was it &69 billion or was it more than that? Was it a single payment or where there many payments. Which would make the true accounting problematic. We gave them &65 billion at one point but we gave them more money at several other points.

We need to find out how they hid these transactions and we need to find out what the total amount is before we continue ripping off taxpayers indefinitely.

In all fairness one could argue that statement was time sensitive. We didn’t need to bail out the banks in Canada like they did in the States. That is a true statement. We didn’t give the banks a huge amount of money at first. Stephen Harper went to England and told David Cameron that we don’t believe in bailing out the banks with tax dollars in Canada. Some point after that visit he came full circle and the dirty deed was done.

After we find out how they hid the transactions and how much of tax payers money they gave the banks, we need to discuss the merits of a bank bailout. To do that we need to discuss the fraud that creates these manufactured emergencies to it doesn’t happen again.

BCCI was the largest bank collapse in British History. That bank collapsed because of, arms dealing, drug smuggling and money laundering which is always tied to investment fraud because greed always consumes them. They always want a higher return on their money so they resort to fraud to rip people off to do it.
