Dain Philips murder trial and the Surrey Six under way

A blog reader pointed out that Robert Thomas as well as Bob and Norman Cocks were in court today to set a date for Dain Philips' murder trial. That is an important case to follow. Ironically enough the Surrey Six trial was on today as well.



The Surrey Six murder trial has been split in two. Jamie Bacon will be tried separately because his lawyer raised concerns about solicitor client privilege about prison wiretaps. To my knowledge, there’s just a publication ban on evidence that involved the RCMP case where officers have been charged for covering up the affair one of the members had with a witness.

Larry Amero associate charged with murder in Toronto

Kim Bolan is reporting that a former B.C. man wanted for murder in a Toronto hit has been arrested in Greece. Rabih (Robby) Alkhalil grew up in Surrey and has been charged with the murder of Johnnie Raposo last April outside a cafe in Toronto’s Little Italy. Dean Wiwchar was arrested for his involvement in that murder last June. Nicola Nero and Martino Caputo were also recently arrested for that same murder.

Turns out that Alkhalil is also charged along with Larry Amero with cocaine trafficking in Montreal. Larry Amero and Jonathon Bacon attended one of the Alkhalil brothers wedding in Ottawa before Jonathon was shot dead in Kelowna. So why is Larry Amero’s associate charged in the murder of Johnnie Raposo? Things that make ya go hmmmm.

BC Liberals: Rats fighting over a sinking ship

Well this is rather bizarre. “Surrey Liberals” call for Christy Clark’s resignation. What a bunch of self serving ego maniacs. Kicking the cat by blaming their indiscretions on Christy Clark. That is a joke. Remember Gordon Campbell? Remember the HST? Remember the party’s history of arrogantly steam rolling over voters? Christy Clark was their best chance at helping voters forget about their past. We can see nothing has changed.

This new declaration is right after the Liberals lost riding presidents in Surrey-Whalley, Surrey-Fleetwood, and Surrey-Green Timbers. Three of the four ridings in Surrey. So just who are these new representatives calling for Christy Clark’s resignation?

James Plett was the Vice President of the Surrey Tynehead riding association until he took to Twitter to say he is tired of all the scandals and quit. On twitter he wrote: 'Sick of "Today's @bcliberals" corruption + scandal after scandal. Worse than the BC NDP of yesteryear. I quit effective now #bcpoli'

CKNW is reporting that Plett says the party is riding roughshod over the associations and just putting candidates into place with no nomination race or voting. "I have been a dyed in the wool believer and I think myself and a lot of people are just being shuffled off and are just being told to take a hike and its actually very disappointing it is not a good turn and at this point myself and a lot of BC Liberals...former BC Liberal supporters are asking themselves if an NDP government would be that much worse."

He wasn’t referring to Christy Clark. He was referring to these new yahoos that high jacked their way into the Surrey candidacy. Which brings us to Marvin Hunt and the Blue Oyster Cult. Marvin Hunt just announced his candidacy for the BC Liberals. He was part of Godzilla’s Campbell Heights scandal where dirty developers who donated to the BC Liberals got a sweetheart deal on some land at the Campbell Heights Industrial play park and flipped it at a huge profit after Surrey First rezoned it for them. It’s all very conflicted. I guess that’s what James Plett means by scandal after scandal.

Why now we hear the Langley Mayor has just decided to run for the BC Liberals. Why he’s part of that Metro Vancouver Mayor’s council. That’s another scandal all on it’s own. Wasting tax dollars to promote their own political careers. Shameful.

Get this, Fassbender is running, you guessed it, in Surrey. He's one of the yahoo's causing the trouble that's causing people to resign. He's a fast bender alright. Oh and a Langley RCMP inspector is also running in Surrey: Surrey Tynehead! What a bunch of corrupt self serving idiots. All I can say is I’m glad these idiots are fighting over the sinking ship and have stopped coming over to pollute the BC Conservatives.

Whiteboy Posse involved in Alberta Courthouse shooting

Speaking of Nazi symbols and the Hells Angels, it turns out the Whiteboy Posse are the ones who were involved in that courthouse shooting in Alberta recently. Last Tuesday an Alberta sheriff was shot in the hand during a prisoner transfer at the Whitecourt courthouse north west of Edmonton.

“Two men were spotted fleeing in a prisoner transport van, but were arrested within the hour at a rural home near Whitecourt. Clayton Ness and Jake MacIntyre, both of Whitecourt, face aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, escape from lawful custody and other charges.”

Again, these don’t appear to be brain surgeons. Escaping from custody and hiding out in the small town they’re from. The interesting thing is who they are and why they were in prison. Turns out they were recently arrested February 21st as part of a significant drug bust in Whitecourt. Police seized pot, cocaine, crystal meth and illegal firearms.

“All of these people lived in Whitecourt and they were linked to an organized crime group in Whitecourt,” said Staff Sgt. Rodney Koscielny of the Whitecourt RCMP. So these guys are members of an organized crime group in a significant drug bust where cocaine and crystal meth were seized in a small town in northern Alberta outside Edmonton. That sure sounds like the Whiteboy Posse. The ones who decapitated a Lloydminster man in Edmonton for a drug debt tied to the Edmonton Hells Angels.

I check out Clayton Ness' Facebook where he admits to being a member of a gang but doesn’t name the gang. One of Clay’s facebook friends is William Jones from Surrey who is wearing an Edmonton support shirt in his profile picture with the letters WBP written across the top of the picture. That confirms a connection to the Whiteboy Posse. The Whiteboy posse in Surrey is very concerning. There is no room for Nazi’s here.

Interestingly, another one of Clay’s facebook friends is Greg Billings who is also wearing a support shirt in his profile picture and has a memorial tattoo for Peter Pablo Butler. Pablo is from Whitecourt and went missing March 15 2008. Pablo is Native and was pictured wearing that same Hells Angels support gear with 51 on it for the Edmonton Hells Angles. Tragically he went missing in 2008 and is assumed dead.



Update on the Dirty Few MC

Arrest warrant issued for former CSIS Watchdog

Arthur Porter is back in the news. This is Stephen Harpers’ pal that stepped down as the chair of Canada’s watchdog for CSIS. He stepped down as links to him and an Israeli arms dealer tied to Iran Contra named Ben-Menashe went public. Now he’s named in an arrest warrant issued by Quebec's anti-corruption squad for allegations of fraud.

The Vancouver Province is reporting that: “The warrants say the men are wanted on numerous charges - including fraud, breach of trust and document forgery - in relation to the $1.3-billion construction of a Montreal mega-hospital.

The others being sought are: former SNC-Lavalin senior executives Pierre Duhaime and Riadh Ben Aissa; former high-ranking hospital executive Yanai Elbaz; and Jeremy Morris, the administrator of a Bahamas-based investment company linked to the fraud allegations.”

So here we have someone tied to an Israeli arms dealer connected to Iran contra, that is now charged with fraud and accepting bribes in connection with the Hells Angels control of Quebec’s construction industry, in charge of watching over Canada’s spy agency. Isn’t that ironic?

Harper’s response of course was to get rid of the watchdog agency altogether so CSIS can continue business as usual without any lawful accountability whatsoever. Things that make ya go hmmmm. Or should I say: No way dude…

Arthur says he’s too ill to travel back to Canada to face fraud charges. He’s busy living it large in the Bahamas. Speaking of Israeli arms dealers tied to Iran contra, Yanai Elbaz and Riadh Ben Aissa sound like Israeli names. Riadh Ben Aissa was arrested in Switzerland of all places.

Dead body found in Langley Grow op

Last Tuesday police found a dead body in a grow op in Langley. The Whiterock Hells Angels have a clubhouse in Langley don’t they? They found Whiterock Hells Angels support stickers in a Kelowna grow op. The Hells Angels ran a grow op in Osoyoos as well. There was a grow op in Maple ridge where a dead body was found in a shallow grave. The Hells Angels are very big in Maple Ridge. They call it the Haney chapter. In fact Haney chapter has a reputation of ripping off their own grow ops. We’re still waiting on the ID of the man’s body found in the Langley grow.

~~

Kim Bolan is reporting that IHIT released the identify of the man found dead in the Langley grow op. It is Taylor Daniel Johnson, 21 who was the caretaker of the vacant property that contained the grow op. Police aren’t releasing the cause of dead but said he met with foul play.

Kelowna Hells Angel back in court for assault

Joseph Bruce Skreptak is back in the news. He’s the Kelowna Hells Angel that was caught with a car full of weapons, bullet proof vests and a cell phone jammer with some associates in Salmon Arm. He’s the one that owned a house that the renters had a grow op in. He wasn’t involved of course despite the fact that his truck was parked out front with a Hells Angels bumper sticker on it and Hells Angels stickers were posted inside the grow op. The renters took the fall for that one.

Well now he’s in the news because of that home invasion and assault. He told the court he “believed” the man’s son had “stolen jewelry” from him and that’s why he assaulted him. Kelowna Cap News is reporting that:

“Late on Nov. 1, 2010, Skreptak, 47, went to the home of a Kelowna teen to confront him about approximately $10,000 in “jewelry” that had gone missing from his home. While in the one-room apartment, Skreptak punched the youth’s father four to five times, the court heard. As a result, the man’s left side of his face was pushed in and he suffered fractures to the bones around his eye that required surgery to insert plates, said Crown counsel Catherine Fedder.”

“Crown said the two teens present for the assault were intimidated by the knowledge that Skreptak was a member of the Hells Angels. ‘This case is...about a grown man who chooses to use his position as a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang to bully two teenagers and a defenceless man,’ said Fedder.”

The claim that the money was about jewelry fails the test of believability as does the claim that it had nothing to do with the Hells Angels. “Defence lawyer Brian Jackson said Skreptak didn’t go to the police because he didn’t want to get the kids, who apparently sold the stolen jewelry for marijuana, in trouble.” Right there. If marijuana was involved, so was the Hells Angels. They use violence to take over all the grow ops. What’s the matter, he beat them up because they grew a few plants on their own? I can’t believe the court accepted the jewelry nonsense without it being contested.

Surrey Hells Angel meth cook in the news

Speaking of crystal meth in Vancouver, Surrey's Hells Angel meth cook is back in the news. The Vancouver Province is reporting the government wants to keep some money it seized from the Hells Angels through proceeds of crime legislation.

We remember Ryan. He’s that long time Surrey meth cook for the Hells Angels that also had meth labs in Vancouver and Abbotsford. Ryan was first caught making 6 kilograms of crystal meth in a Surrey apartment. In July 2005 he was caught in charge of a crew that was capable of making 15 kilos of crystal meth every ten days. In 2004 police seized 8 kilos of crystal meth from a lab Ryan ran in Abbotsford.

In 2008 Prosecutor Martha Devlin alleged in court that Ryan was cooking up crystal meth for a member of the Hells Angels, whose name had been banned by the trial judge.

This is another example of an over reaching and illegal publication ban by a corrupt BC judge. Publication bans are supposed to protect an individuals right to a fair trial not stifle the freedom of the press. They are only for evidence that was submitted in court when the jury wasn’t present. Evidence when the jury was present is fair game. They are also supposed to expire when the verdict has been rendered.

Thankfully, in another case not covered by a publication ban involving police informant Michael Plante, the one Kim Bolan made a special series and web site about, it was revealed that Ryan made meth for John Punko and Ron Lising. The court heard evidence claiming John Punko didn’t want Ryan making crystal meth for anyone but him. The picture of Ryan the police handed out in 2005 as part of an investigation into the East Vancouver Hells Angels.

In March of 2010, a blog reader recognized Ryan’s picture from the gang member registry on the Gangsters out web site. They said they were aware of a Hells Angels crack house in Vancouver run by a skinhead that looked just like Ryan and was also called Ryan. They had some disturbing tales to tell of women being held captive and disappearing leaving only traces of their ID behind similar to the Surrey House of Horrors and the Pickton farm.

The OMGU raided five meth labs in the Vancouver area run by the Hells Angels before Christmas in 20011. We know that Trent Willet, a former president of the Hells Angels Kentucky, Fulton chapter plead guilty to the distribution of crystal meth in 2009. Greg Domey, the former president of the Salem, Mass chapter and East coast president of the Hells Angels was sentenced to 20 years in prison under the "Drug Kingpin" statute for trafficking crystal meth in Massachusetts. Last June 21 Hells Angels and associates were arrested for trafficking crystal meth in South Carolina.

Vancouver New Zealand Crystal Meth Ring busted

6.6 kilograms of crystal meth has been seized in a drug smuggling ring linking Vancouver and New Zealand. One known gang member has been arrested in the sweep. BC gangs have been known for exporting their mad harsh hydroponic growing skills to New Zealand for their grow ops since 2007. A New Zealand Herald report in 2009 called meth “New Zealand’s worst drug problem,” and one that has spurred a corresponding crime wave. Crystal meth is not speed. It’s made with Drano and eats you alive worse than crack does.

Former Amerca's Next Top Model star Jael Strauss became a crystal meth addict.

Boeing makes a fighter jet that rivals the F-35

There’s been a lot of talk about the ballooning costs of the fleet of fighter jets Stephen Harper wants to buy. The fact that they can’t be used in the arctic to protect Canada is a huge concern,. The fact that one of his candidates lobbied for the company that builds them is another. Turns out Boeing makes a fighter jet that rivals the F-35 for half the price.

Lets see… Boeing has experience making planes… It certainly is worth a look. Canada needs some jets. How many and what for is the question. Spending billions on insider trading jets that can’t be used in the arctic is simply corruption. Especially when it means cutting funding for personnel and everything else in the military. Closing the Vancouver coast guard in lieu of this expenditure is irresponsible.

In the Boeing Super Hornet, additional fuel can be carried in up to five external fuel tanks and the aircraft can be configured as an airborne tanker by adding an external air refueling system. That’s a lot better than having to contract out the air to air fueling in the F-35.
