The Fraudulent nature of Privatization

Given the new developments in the BC Rail scandal implicating Christy Clark, we need to examine the fraudulent nature of privatization. The left and the right can argue private versus public until the cows come home. If you want ICBC to be private, fine. If you want it to be public, so be it. I don’t care.

What I do care about is when public assets are sold off at fire sale prices to political insiders who in turn destroy that public company and then start ripping off consumers while giving their corrupt political friends a kickback.

The other concern I have about the fraudulent nature of privatization is turning a publically accountable company private for the sole purpose of removing public accountability. That is wrong. We have seen how excessive deregulation on Wall Street and in the banking industry has opened the flood gates to investment fraud wide open. That is a colossal concern that affects all of us.

BC Hydro is the prime example. That should be retuned to a public company. The Campbell government incurred massive taxpayer debt by privatizing the part of BC hydro that sells power to BC Hydro at inflated rates. I don’t care about Terasen gas. That was dumb because of duplication but it wasn’t as devastatingly corrupt as the fraudulent billing of Gordon Campbell’s private power companies that sell power to BC Hydro at inflated rates.

These are the ones who were charged with Enron for false billing in California. Speaking of false billing, front page of the Vancouver Sun yesterday was about private medical clinics overbilling. Schools, militaries and hospitals should not be private and mandated to make a profit. When a private company is mandated to make a profit it gravitates towards obtaining a monopoly on the market and ripping off consumers. That is exactly what the big oil companies are now doing.

So here we have breaking news that private medical clinics were involved in false billing. Big surprise. We also see complaints of the Clark government perpetuation the fraudulent nature of privatization by selling off liquor distribution rights to their insider friends. Yet that is nothing compared to Harper’s insider trading jets. That guy should be in jail for that one but no one seems to care.

Christy Clark implicated in BC Rail on wire tap

The plot thickens. We had heard Christy Clark was implicated in the BC Rail scandal along with her brother last November. Now John van Dongen’s court challenge has produced wire tap evidence confirming it.

There are two issues on the table. First is the corrupt way a public company was sold out to political insiders in exchange for political contributions. The other is Bassi / Virk’s connection to their cousin’s cocaine trafficking ring and money laundering charges.

Before we get into that, let’s examine something Alex G. Tsakumis reported last November. Kelly Reichert, the former BC Liberal Party Executive Director was and is the brother-in-law of the RCMP investigation team’s Captain, then Sgt. Kevin DeBruykere - now a senior Inspector. It was he who led ‘Operation Everywhichway’.

A ‘Do Not Disclose’ document surfaced which was authored by an investigator who was present when former BC Liberal Party Executive Director Kelly Reichert was being interviewed by the RCMP.

In the document, it was noted that, at one point, Mr. Reichert’s interview with the RCMP was interrupted (and recording stopped), while he revealed that it was indeed, Mr. Reichert himself that told then premier Gordon Campbell of the ongoing investigation and the details about Erik Bornmann’s confessions, including those related to Pilothouse Public Affairs and the operation that led to the charges against Dave Basi and Bob Virk.

Durring the trial, Michael Bolton began asking Brown about the relationship between lead RCMP investigator Kevin DeBruyckere and BC Liberal Party Executive Director Kelly Reichart. They are brothers-in-law.

Immediately Special Prosecutor Bill Berardino jumped up to object to Bolton’s questioning. The jury was excused and the longest legal wrangling delay in the trial began. With the jury excused the wrangling was under publication ban. What happened that last week of June in Courtroom 54 has never been reported.

He claimed that the pre-trial agreement signed by the defence meant questions about investigative bias were inadmissible. Regarding the deBruyckere/Reichart relationship Berardino declared that “the issue of effective bias of the investigation is not before the jury” as a result of the pre-trial agreement.

That meant the defence couldn’t make a point of the close familial relationship between deBruyckere and Reichart. They couldn’t argue that the relationship was a conflict of interest that skewed the investigation. Couldn’t enter supporting evidence such as wiretaps or evidence of deBruyckere meeting Reichart and Reichart subsequently meeting with Premier Campbell to debrief him on the state of the investigation.

Holy conflict of interest. The lead investigator from the RCMP was the brother in law of the BC Liberal Party Executive Director. The BC Liberal Party, who were under police investigation for fraud, were the ones who negotiated and signed a renewal of the RCMP’s contract amid scathing reports and calls for a Regional police force. That is nothing but a conflict of interest.

Victim shot in Colorado shooting survived the Eaton Centre shooting

Some wacko recently opened fire at a group of people coming out of a theatre in Colorado where the movie Dark Night was being shown. Tragically, one of the victims killed in that shooting was an aspiring sportscaster named Jessica Ghawi had survived the Eaton Centre shooting in Toronto and had posted on a blog "Who would go into a mall full of thousands of innocent people and open fire? Is this really the world we live in?" Tragic.

The government takes the wrong road in the RCMP sexual harassment case

The Vancouver Province ran an article about the RCMP sexual harassment case under the heading Mounties issue sweeping denial in Galliford sexual harassment lawsuit. Cpl. Catherine Galliford, the spokesperson for the RCMP during the Pickton trial and the Air India bombing, filed a law suit claiming decades of sexual harassment while working at the RCMP.

After she filed her lawsuit many other female officers have come forward with shockingly bizarre and similar horror stories. The most dramatic of which is the indisputable case of Staff Sergeant Don Ray who was found guilty of a long list of ongoing sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct. Instead of being fired he was transferred to BC. That case alone warrants a law suit since the RCMP have failed in their legal duty as an employer to defend it’s current employees against sexual harassment. They broke the law for not firing him and have now opened themselves up to legal liabilities.

Instead of settling with Galliford out of court, the B.C. government and Ottawa filed a joint statement of defense this week denying all of Galliford's allegations. Before I get into the nature of the outrageously offensive denial in the statement of defense, I want to be clear as to exactly who it is making these outrageous and offensive claims. It’s not the RCMP. It’s the Christy Clark and Stephen Harper government. That is Ottawa and the BC government. For now.

One can understand the motive for the Christy Clark and the Stephen Harper governments to deny everything and slander the applicant. They don’t want to be found legally liable and have to pay any money in damages. But they are legally liable. This is why things need to change. Catherine Galliford even used the U word. Bob Paulson is a nice guy but has proven ineffective against the old Guard of command culture and ongoing sexual harassment at the RCMP. The Don Ray case is evidence of that. They don’t need any new special powers to fire the guy. Those powers are already there. They have broken the law in not firing him.

"These defendants deny each and every allegation contained in ... the notice of civil claim," says the statement of defense. Instead, the governments paint her as an alcoholic who refused treatment and rejected the RCMP's efforts to keep her away from one of the men she alleged harassed her. Herein lies the first contradiction. If she denied help keeping her away from the offending officer, then they were aware of the problem before she filed her law suit in 2011.

What kind of offer did they give her? Did they say she could be demoted and get a desk job? What if she liked her job? What if she wanted to keep doing what she was doing on the Pickton and Air India cases? Why should she be punished? Shouldn’t the offending officer be the one transferred?

More recently we’ve seen the evidence of Jim Brown, a BDSM freak from the Coquitlam RCMP who worked on the Pickton case. Knowing the RCMP hasn’t fired him proves Galliford’s concerns about some of the officers working on the Pickton case has merit.

The offensive denial and slander in the statement of defense isn’t surprising. That is Stephen Harper’s MO. He fires whistleblowers then slanders them. Richard Colvin was an "absolutely rock solid" diplomatic staffer who stepped up and volunteered to go to Afghanistan as a civilian representative with Canada's Provincial Reconstruction Team in Kandahar after Glyn Berry, a close friend of Semple, was killed by a suicide car bomber outside Kandahar. When Colvin expressed concern that Canada was handing over Afghan prisoners to be tortured the Harper Government attacked and fired him.

Likewise the Harper Government attacked and fired Linda Keen for blowing the whistle on an unsafe nuclear reactor built on a fault zone after the government neglected to do the necessary upgrades to keep it running. According to MacLeans, there have been at least a dozen cases of Harper firing and slandering whistleblowers. That is a bad precedent for Canada.

The RCMP have absolutely no concept of labour law because they’ve never had to deal with a Union filing grievances and going in front of an arbitrator. As a result they have never seen and do not know the case law or the jurisprudence. Even Bob Paulson, the RCMP Commissioner, has no understanding of labour law. That’s why he thinks his hands are tied in firing Don Ray when they’re not.

Aside from paying Galliford a settlement for damages, things need to change. Sweeping things under the carpet and disciplining officers for going public is not the answer. Obeying the law and firing Don Ray and Jim Brown is. It really is that simple.

Police suspect Toronto Shooting Gang Related

Tragic shooting last night at a Toronto block party that resulted in two dead and 23 injured including a 22-month-old child who was grazed by a bullet. Police believe only one of the injured party-goers, who they say was associated with the Galloway Boys gang, was a target. Tragically Fourteen-year-old Shyanne Charles of Toronto and 23-year-old Joshua Yasay of Ajax, Ont., were both innocent victims killed in the crossfire.

19-year-old charged in connection with Toronto shooting

Joey Verma back in court today

Joey Verma, the man accused of murdering a young Kelowna woman was expected to appear in court today. Turns out a pre-trial conference took place for Joelon David Atish Verma, by phone, in a closed room of the Supreme Court. He will be back in court on July 23 to fix a date for trial. Bastards! Was Robert Pickton’s murder trial behind closed doors? Was Paul Bernardo’s murder trail behind closed doors? That doesn’t happen in a democratic nation. It is yet another example of the judicial arrogance in BC that needs to change. Nevertheless, the Kelowna Summer Jam will continue. Stay tuned.

Bacchus president charged in Saint John shooting

Well Butt Kiss did it again. Another brain surgeon dreams up the fastest way possible to get deemed a criminal organization before they patch over to a new logo. Matthew Thomas Foley, 50, the president of the Saint John's Bacchus, a brown nose club for the Hells Angels, has been charged with shooting Michael Thomas Schimpf, 31, outside the Bacchus clubhouse at 70 Pitt Street last night.

Just because you have a ridiculous logo and just because everyone knows you named your club after the patron saints of homosexuality, doesn't mean you have to go and shoot someone to get rid of your ridiculous patch. Killing someone doesn't impress people. Any 12 year old kid can pull a trigger. It only brings the heat and criminal organization legislation. Idiot. So now you're a murderer and you get to spend eternity with murderers. Doesn't that sound like a peaceful enlightened place to be? Good luck with that.



In this picture, we see Matt Foley on the left in his younger days. He didn’t look like such an idiot back then. I wonder what happened. Now he’s a fat old man with a grey mohawk. I kid you not. Some people just never grow up. One has to wonder why. One has to wonder what happened to him to turn him into such a fuck up. The answer is staring us in the face.

Take a look at the ridiculous logo young Matt is posing in front of. A child’s drawing of the devil and the name Satan’s choice. That is what he aspired to growing up. Well, when he was young. Clearly he never did grow up. He aspired to the father of all lies. The master of betrayal. Murder to get gain.

The sad thing is, everyone knows Satan isn’t happy. Satan doesn’t have nirvana. He hasn’t reached those stages of epiphanies that led him to enlightenment. You can’t violate the golden rule on a daily basis and find peace of mind. Satan is miserable and his mandate is to make everyone miserable just like he is. Talk about a dead end mission statement.

If the fat ass with a grey mowhawk had beef with someone, why didn’t he just beat him up rather then shoot him in broad daylight? He wouldn’t have to spend the rest of his life in jail. The answer is simple. He couldn’t. He couldn’t take the guy so he shot him dead instead. Just another reason the Hells Angels and their brain dead puppets should be banned from Sturgis.



Saint John Police Chief Bill Reid is another Canadian idiot. He claims when the president of Bacchus recklessly shoots someone outside their clubhouse and endangers the life and safety of the entire neighbourhood, somehow that isn't gang related. That guy should be fired on the spot. Here's a picture of a Bacchus member riding with a cop. This is a betrayal of the public trust:



Take a look at this picture. It’s a member of Bacchus in Dartmouth with eyeballs tattooed on the back of his head that the Wind Demoz have on their facebook. One of the comments reads “Nice tat.” That is not nice ink. That is ridiculous. The Dutchman does nice work. You can tell that isn’t the Dutchman’s work because it looks like crap and is ridiculous. It’s not something he would agree to do. It’s not something he would sign his world renown reputation to. The question is, why on earth are these old men running around like idiots. When are they going to grow up?



Breaking News:

Bacchus is moving out of their Saint John clubhouse



The Bacchus Motorcycle Club was moving out of its Saint John headquarters on Thursday morning, following an order from the Saint John Fire Department. Saint John police obtained a "do not occupy" order from the fire marshal's office for the clubhouse, located at 58 Pitt St., in the city's south end, said Const. Keith Copeland, of the major crime unit.

The move comes on the heels of the club's president, Matthew Thomas Foley, being charged with second-degree murder in the Saturday shooting death of Michael Thomas Schimpf, 31. "We were also working towards securing SCAN legislation — Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods — to permanently remove them from the property," said Copeland.

Bacchus president pleads guilty to manslaughter

BC Courts order government to revisit judges’ pay raise

The BC courts have established a new precedent in judicial absurdity. Justice Malcolm Macaulay just ordered the provincial government to reconsider its decision to deny pay raises to 146 provincial court judges. Nobody likes not getting a pay raise and it’s bad enough the government legislates their own wage. Yet the courts ordering the government to give them a raise is absurd.

Whenever a judge makes a decision or creates an order, they have to cite a law or statue that they are basing their order on and provide case law or jurisprudence to support their interpretation of that law or statue.

I’ve already talked about how we tend to totally distort the charter of rights and apply it to things it was never intended to apply to. This is another example of that. Getting a pay raise is nice but it certainly isn’t a charter right.

Macaulay said in standing by its "net-zero" man-date for government employees, the government diverted its attention from the need to abide by constitutional requirements in setting pay for judges. Constitution requirement? What on earth is that crack head on about? The Constitution Acts, 1867 to 1982 simply states judges' salaries shall be fixed and provided by the Parliament of Canada. That means the government makes the decision and has the final say as to what the salary is.

Since this new order is null and void and is basically a worthless piece of paper, it does tell us one thing: we have a problem that needs to be changed. The arrogance of the BC court judges and their continued over stepping of their judicial parameters means they need to be publically accountable.

In the United States the judges are publically accountable because they are elected. If a judge starts making stupid decisions the public just elect another judge. We currently have no provision in place to make our judges accountable in Canada. As we have seen, we are powerless to get rid of bad judges like Peter Leask. This clearly needs to change.

Free Greg Domey - Not!

OK now I’m really going to lose it. Just as I was going to make a new podcast about the Big House Crew and that ridiculous campaign to Free Deli, I find an even more absurd campaign to free another crack dealer named Greg Domey.



Greg Domey is the former president of the Salem Massachusetts Hells Angels. He’s also the former East Coast president of the Hells Angels. Here we see him in a photo with Sonny Barger on the Big House Crew memorial. The guy isn’t a freaking political prisoner like Nelson Mandela or Bobby Sands. The guy is in jail for selling crack and crystal meth as well as for using extreme violence to gain control of that illicit drug trade.



People posing in front of the Christmas tree wearing Free Greg T Shirts is the epitome of stupidity. In the first photo he’s smiling with a ball peen hammer. That’s what they use to beat rival drug dealers to death with. Wearing a Free Greg shirt is like wearing an I love Charles Manson shirt.

Here’s the link to my new podcast about the Big House Crew. Don’t talk to me about Irish history. You don’t know fuck all about Irish history. Supporting these crack dealers and these crystal meth dealers is like pissing on Bobby Sands grave. In West Belfast the IRA will shoot crack dealers dead on sight. Idiots.

Hells Angels selling drugs in Massachusetts

Jeffrey Dillon, president of the Sidewinders, a Hell's Angels puppet group in Massachusetts, has been charged with various firearm offenses and possession of cocaine with the purpose of trafficking.

John R. Bartolomeo, of East Boston, was sentenced to a 35-year federal prison sentence for the killing a rival motorcycle gang member and for distributing cocaine and methamphetamine.

During the initial phase of the investigation, a cooperating individual made a series of undercover methamphetamine purchases directly from Gregory Domey, the then president of the Salem Chapter of the Hells Angels. After being introduced to Domey and Bartolomeo, the DEA Special Agent made a number of large methamphetamine and cocaine purchases from members of the Hells Angels and their associates.

This isn’t just a matter of killing someone from a rival biker gang. It’s a matter of killing a rival drug dealer to gain control of the drug trade. A Southern California professor who is the president of the Fresno California Devil’s Disciples chapter has been accused of trafficking meth. During a raid at his Highland home, investigators seized more than a pound of meth, guns, body armor, and leather biker vests.

Gregory Domey, former president of the Salem Chapter of the Hells Angels, and former East Coast President of the organization pled guilty today to multiple drug charges and was sentenced to 20 years in prison under the "Drug Kingpin" statute.

According to court records, Domey and his codefendants sold cocaine and methamphetamine, from various locations including their Hells Angels Club House headquarters in Lynn, which was protected by members who served as armed guards and by surveillance cameras. Domey and his codefendants sold the drugs to undercover agents and confidential informants on dozens of occasions, many of which were electronically recorded and/or observed by surveillance agents.

Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug which can be as destructive and as addictive as crack cocaine. Commonly known as meth, this drug is spreading from California and has already hit the mid-west. We’re talking about crystal meth. It’s made with Drano. That shit fucks you up. It’s just as bad if not worse than crack. The Hells Angels are bringing crystal meth to Massachusetts.



This isn’t just a few bad members. This was the president of the Salem chapter and former East coast president of the Hells Angles selling meth and the president of a puppet club selling cocaine. That is what they do. That is their purpose for existing. They are drug dealers and should be banned from Sturgis.

I have no problem with someone smoking a blunt and selling some weed. I have a problem with people selling crack and crystal meth and I have a problem with the Hells Angels saying no one is allowed to grow or sell pot but them. That shit just wouldn’t fly if they tried that at Sturgis. Yet that is exactly what they are doing everywhere else. That is why they should be banned from Sturgis.



Let’s not forget Adam Hall, Sergeant at Arms for the Pittsfield, Massachusetts Hells Angels and his brain dead associate with devil horn implants and the number 666 tattooed to his forehead, they’re from Massachusetts. Adam Hall has been accused of forced prostitution. He and his brain dead devil horn implant associate have been accused of murdering a witness against Hall. That is messed up.
