Western Highway

Last day of skiing today. Seymour were selling lift tickets for ten bucks. Saw a couple of deer on the way up the mountain today. All this talk about New Brunswick and Nova Scotia has got me thinking. I have a lot of ancestors buried in some of those small towns. I’m saddened to hear these drug dealing hillbillies are turning that wonderful land into just another sea of greed and corruption. Hummers and trips to Mexico from exploiting others in the drug trade. It’s a shameful life so it is.

Here on the west coast we don’t have many folk songs so we don’t. Not like in the Maritimes. Yet one we do have is Western Highway by Gerry O'Beirne. Rita and Mary Rankin sang it on their Lantern burn CD. Here’s another couple on youtube that did a fine job of it as well.

Changing the words slightly I have to declare: I am a rider on a western highway, from the mountains unto the sea. I’m just a rider on a western highway but right now I am free. Free to think. Free to speak. Free to act. Free to choose. Free to move. Sailors’ rights. The seas be ours and by the powers where we will we'll roam. Word. Hoist the colors.

Drug bust and home invasion on PEI

Five people have been charged with a home invasion that occurred last year in Emyvale on PEI. On May 28th, 2012, a residence in the Emyvale area was broken into by two masked men. Once inside the intruders tied up, assaulted and robbed the victim involved. Both intruders were in possession of firearms during the robbery. Police said it was a targeted offense.

One of the people charged was Jason Yeo. Jason was charged in a cocaine trafficking network on PEI last summer. Last month three more people were arrested in Emyvale drug busts. Dean John Fairhurst was charged in that bust. He was on parole after serving a six year sentence for cocaine trafficking. Less statutory release.

Outlaws spotted in New Brunswick

(See update) More than a dozen members of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang from Ontario, wearing full colors, showed up coming into town from the Trans Canada Hwy into Moncton New Brunswick today. RCMP intercepted the bunch and only got a half dozen of the bikes to pull over (ran names and plates) on Elmwood drive near a club called IROCK but the rest of the OMG bunch took off fast and refused to stop for police. RCMP asked for lots of backup to catch them to run the rest of the names and plates.

Lots of Bacchus together and partying today at the Pollet River Run in Albert County and will be at clubs later tonight. The usual place they Party is the Old Cosmo but the Liquor inspector just shut them down, rumor is they got caught with Beer in the bar from Quebec.

Jeff Gallant, also known as scab face, is the owner of the Old Cosmo (called OC for short). He’s on the dirty and was arrested with two pounds of cocaine. It’s connected to the Knockwood and Keirsteadcase case who were caught with 16 kilos of cocaine in the walls of their trailer in Texas. After the Outlaws appearance word is Jeff and Bacchus have ordered in a new supply of depends. Tell me Jeff isn’t related to Leo. That would break my achy breaky heart.



Perhaps the Outlaws will make it out to the South Shore in Nova Scotia and visit what’s left of the Freedom Riders. The Darksiders are still bullying that same senior couple they assaulted at a local Tim Hortens. The husband is dying of cancer and they are still bullying them. They won’t even let them ride their bikes without colours in peace. The Outlaws don’t bully seniors and don’t stop non 1% MCs from wearing patches. Perhaps a free market is a good thing.

One blog reader reports: Accident right by the Bacchus clubhouse just on scanner, ATV accident, male in 40's. ATV? I guess the Bacchus rejects need training wheels. Police used the term Oscar Mike Golf as in OMG and the street the Buttkiss clubhouse is on. Oscar Mayer Wieners if you ask me. Don't look now, they're asking for breath tech... OK now they're using cell phones.



I didn’t realize the Pollett River Run was a run down the river in a boat. I thought it was a motorcycle run. That looks like a really fun event. Be sure to pack out what you pack in. They even have mud flats like Stake Lake here in BC. Stave Lake mud flats are pretty red neck. It’s wild.

Update: We are getting mixed reports on the outlaw versus Outlaws thing. The same thing happened in a report about Kelowna. Local Bacchus are denying the Outlaws came to town and are claiming the police pulled a bunch of them over and referred to them as outlaws not Outlaws. I’m still trying to get a confirmation from someone local who has actually seen them other than heard what was said on the police scanner.

I'm still working on this. Reports still claim the police were running Ontario plates which means they weren't Bacchus.

Bacon shooters in court

All three accused of shooting Jonathon Bacon and Larry Amero in Kelowna were in court last Thursday on April 25th. Lawyers are still waiting for disclosure and the matter has been put off to June 20th. The trail is in Kelowna and the accused made a video appearance from Surrey Pretrial.

Kelly Hayes is reporting on the matter for Global now. Michael Kerry Hunter Jones of Gibsons; Jason Thomas McBride of North Vancouver; and Surrey resident Jujhar Khun-Khun are each facing one count of murder and four counts of attempted murder. The Daily Courier reported that compared to the two men sitting next to him Thursday, Khun-Khun looked tiny. I still say he's taking the fall for another but won't name names. Let the evidence be presented.

False flag attacks

One for the road before we get back to local gang stuff. I’ll tell you why we have to talk about false flag attacks. A) Hitler used them twice to start the second world war and B) Other administrations have used them in our day. Hitler burned the German parliament building and blamed it on terrorists so he could get the powers of a chancellor. Then he burned a German radio station and blamed it on Poland to justify invading Poland. False flag attacks have been used before.

Someone said to me the other day they watched a show about a conspiracy theory regarding 9/11 and they debunked all of it. No they didn’t. I told the person you can’t debunk Operation Northwoods. That document is a historical fact. He didn’t know what Operation Northwoods was. Exactly. You can’t say the 9/11 truth movement is wrong if you’ve never looked into Operation Northwoods. You can just say you don’t care.

Someone said to me they don’t care about what happened 50 years ago. That is foolish and offensive. That’s like saying you don’t care about the Vietnam War or the holocaust because it happened a long time ago. History repeats itself until we learn from it.

We need to talk about Northwoods over and over again. We need to talk about how that insane plan got so far to make sure it never happens again. We need to talk about how that plan wasn’t just proposed it was actually implemented in Europe as Operation Gladio. No dope smoking hippie made that up.

We need to talk about Northwoods because it was implemented during the Six Day war on the USS Liberty. Instead of shouting remember the Maine which most likely was another false flag attack we need to remember the USS Liberty. We need to remember the fact that President Johnston recalled the air support for the USS Liberty when it was under attack because he wanted that vessel sunk. The only thing that saved them was a Russian spy ship that witnessed the fraud. Recalling the air support was a huge betrayal of the public trust.

There are two issues at the heart of 9/11. The history and the science clearly points to the possibility of it being a false flag attack. The science is very simple. Debunkers argue that the traces of thermite found in the 9/11 ruble could be explained by chalk. No it can’t. The 9/11 commission said the third tower collapsed at freefall speed due to heat and fire. No it didn’t. A steel framed tower doesn’t do that from fire. The only way a steel frame tower can collapse at freefall speed is if the load bearing beams are blown out at the same time. You can claim terrorists must have put explosives in the load bearing beams before the attack and I will have to agree. But you can’t say the towers fell at freefall speed from two and no planes hitting them. That doesn’t fit the science. The Shanghai apartment fire in 2010 was much worse yet it did not collapse at all let alone at freefall speed.

Iraq was a huge mess. It was invaded based on a lie. A premeditated lie MI 6 gave to the media under Operation Mass appeal. Another huge concern about Iraq was the two British SAS agents who were caught with a car loaded with guns and explosives dressed as Arabs who instead of stopping for a police checkpoint, murdered the allies before surrendering. Instead of explaining what secret mission they were on, England leveled the jail they were detained in and broke them out without a trial.



We still need to ask ourselves what on earth were they doing with a car load of weapons and explosives dressed as Arabs? We cannot believe they were on a sting operation trying to catch terrorists. As soon as a real terrorist got close to them they would have recognized the disguise. I submit that there is only one logical explanation as to what they were doing. It fits in with the perpetual use of false flag attacks.

Obviously not every act of terrorism is a false flag attack yet many of them are and that is something we need to discuss. Especially if the are going to throw away the Charter of Rights and take away our civil liberties.

7 Alberta jails locked down after walkout

MSN news is reporting that “Seven Alberta correctional facilities are in lockdown mode today after guards walked out across the province overnight. Guards working there say their concerns about safety inside the facility are being ignored by the Alberta government. They're also protesting the suspension of two union members who sources say have objected to the working conditions.”



Privatizing the prisons is NOT he answer. Funding them is. However, the guards concern here seems to be over the design of a new facility where the pods are open. It puts guards face to face with inmates. I’m not sure what that means. It appears that the cells have doors. I’m not keen on the idea of having no privacy sitting on the toilet. Yet getting a new facility is a good thing.



Although I agree we need prisons and we need to spend money on them, I don’t think prisons are the answer. Although I agree someone should get more than house arrest if caught trafficking cocaine for the Hells Angels, I don’t think exceptionally long prison sentences are the answer. They’ll just get another mule.

I think we simply need to dispel the misconceptions we have about drug trafficking and stop letting the dealers sell crack in public. Three months in jail with no drugs for a prolific offender who steals to support his addiction is not excessive. Three months in jail with no early release for selling a small quantity of crack on the street is not excessive. It is however, something and it is our moral obligation to do something to curb this insane plague than is overcoming us.

My father was big on prison alternatives. Rehabilitation isn’t the primary issue, public safety is. Yet rehabilitation is an issue. Obviously everyone would rather spend tax dollars on schools and hospitals than prisons. No one really wishes that on anyone. Prison is in essence, a time out for kids who never grew up. There’s one homeless man in Surrey that repeatedly tries to get caught stealing things so he has a place to stay for the night. Housing, training and addiction treatment not perpetuation are constructive things we should spend money on.

Update: After a five day illegal strike the Union representing prison guards in Alberta has struck a deal with the Province and workers will return to work 7:00 AM Wednesday May 1st. Sheriffs and court services had joined in on the strike and that situation still appears to be a complete mess.

Getting rid of the HST has saved taxpayers millions

Local papers report that getting rid of the HST is costing the City of Surrey $4 million. Which really means, the HST was indeed a tax grab and the city was getting an extra $4 million from it. In reality, it has saved the residents of Surrey well over $4 million in extra taxes. Something Godzilla will quickly want to make up to pay for the furniture in her new Ivory Tower. We knew they wouldn’t spend money on HST adds if it was indeed a reduction in tax like they claimed.

Translink funding has become an election issue. BC Conservative leader John Cummins prophetically said: “The problem with TransLink is that the board is unelected and not accountable to anyone. They extort a fee out of us through the hydro levy, the parking tax and tolls for bridges and tunnels. They have their own police force and they're a secret organization and they have no public input.”

“The Liberal government eliminated the board of elected representatives and replaced it with a board with no track record of fiscal management. There are significant inefficiencies in the way TransLink is run and they need to tighten it up.”

“I think we're taxed enough. TransLink is getting sufficient income to move ahead with some of these projects [such as rapid transit for south of the Fraser River and along Vancouver's Broadway Corridor], without additional money.” Ah yes, the sweet sound of truth and logic. Harry Bains, NDP Transportation critic said: “We need to change the governance mode by bringing the locally elected mayors or councillors back to the board so they can use their expertise and knowledge and plan transit along with land-use planning, because transit and land use go hand in hand.”

Wrong, land use is a factor but the over budget mayors council has created the problem. They want to burn money at taxpayers’ expense and raise taxes to justify their new found jurisdiction. Stop duplication and let the mayors mind their own business. Spending their own money not someone else’s and balancing their own budget. Harry Bains is right about the fact that TransLink is always running out of money shows that bad decisions are being made.

Barrack Gold Shareholders

Barrack Gold is in the news. Shareholders just rejected a $17 million executive pay bonus plan by an 85% vote during a restructure cutting half a billion dollars in operational costs. They only made $923 million last quarter instead of $1.1 billion. Barrick said the main reason for the lower profit was lower gold and copper prices and reduced volumes sold during the quarter. Sounds like price fixing to me.

The vote however was symbolic and the board has the final decision. Barrack CEO Jamie Sokalsky said the board would "carefully consider" shareholder perspectives. “Founder” Peter Munk owns less than 1% of the total equity of Barrack, yet controls the board appointments.

The very unhonorable Brian Mulroney is on the Barrack board of directors along with Nathaniel Rothschild. Lyin Brian is chairman of the International Advisory board. George Bush was on that board during the Bre X scandal but has been replaced by John Ellis Bush. Oh Johnny has been involved in a brave bit of fraud as well. Let’s not forget how Stephen Harper used his government to influence a decision in favor of the conflicted company.

The key point to remember here is that Peter Munk isn’t really the founder. He was the partner of the founder. Munk and arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi created Barrack gold and Munk was made Chairman of the board. Adnan Khashoggi distanced himself from Barrack gold after his involvement in Iran contra went public yet he remained a shareholder and many other key players are still involved. In essence, Barrack gold was created by an arms dealer tied to Iran contra. Barrack gold is even tied to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

Matt Taibbi on the banks price fixing.

FIPA is the final nail in Liberty’s coffin

We have learned by sad experience that NAFTA chapter 11 is an insane attack on Canadian taxpayers and their liberty. It has nothing to do with free trade. It is a compensation clause where corporations can sue the government in secret tribunals if the government makes any law protecting the environment or public services that would inhibit a corporation’s ability to make a profit.

We have seen a long list of compensation awards that are not only ludicrous, but are burning tax dollars for nothing and creating a huge financial burden on tax payers for ridiculous reasons. One example is SD Myers Inc. That company received $6 million compensation in tax dollars because it wanted to import PCP toxic waste into Canada and the government created a law banning such. Banning their dumping of PCP in Canada inhibited their ability to make a profit and resulted in a compensation award from one of these insane tribunals.

The same concerns arise with TILMA and now with FIPA, the new free trade agreement with China that has nothing to do with free trade. Stephen Harper even had the audacity to put out a commercial attacking Thomas Mulcair for not supporting the secret attack on our sovereignty by saying he doesn’t support investment or free trade. That offensive lie is what drives Harper’s caucus.

Last year Rick Mercer expressed his concern about the way this dirty deal went down. A secret agreement signed with China in Russia. Mercer pointed out that, while the North American Free Trade Agreement requires six month’s notice to withdraw, the Chinese deal requires 15 years. He claimed “This fetish for secrecy has to stop.”

The Council of Canadians has called the deal a “corporate rights pact” because it would lead to lawsuits that would force Canada to weaken its environmental regulations. It called on Canada to follow Australia’s example and stop negotiating these sorts of clauses into trade agreements.

Don Davies submitted a motion against the insane agreement and Gerald Keddy said Davies doesn’t agree with investment. Not so. Elizabeth May, the beacon of light, has also spoken out against the corrupt agreement. Not only does it remove our sovereignty, it is also an assault on the environment. Elizabeth May supported the NDP motion to stop FIPA on Monday. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and the Harper government did not. Thomas Mulcair 3, Justin Trudeau 0. Stephen Harper - go directly to jail.

Giving Communist China control of our oil was absolutely insane. We are now funding China’s military expansion and helping North Korea become technologically capable of following through with it’s threat to nuke America. Giving Communist China control of our sovereignty with a insane agreement that has nothing to do with free trade is the final nail in Liberty’s coffin. I call heaven and earth to record this day that Stephen Harper is more of a Communist than Pierre Trudeau ever was. Word.

So this is how liberty dies

Sadly, Ottawa passed the controversial terror bill allowing preventative arrests and secret hearings. It gives security agencies “exceptional” powers to probe terror plots. Sadly the Vancouver Province headline reads Bill to help prevent terrorism passes. That is not what this is about.

NDP MP Randall Garrison, the party’s public safety critic, said police have conducted successful terror investigations- including Monday’s break-up of an alleged plot to attack a Toronto-bound train - without the special powers obtained in Bill S-7. Indeed.

Sadly Justin Trudeau’s Liberals supported the bill. Clearly Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are no different that Michael Ignatieff’s. It is so sad to see him burn his father’s sacred Charter of Rights. It’s sad to see anyone piss on a free republic.

The bright side is that the Bloc, the NDP and Elizabeth May all voted against it. It was the Harper government and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals that signed this dirty deed. Thomas Muclair 2, Justin Trudeau 0. Stephen Harper, go directly to jail. Ironically, it was vote number 666. I kid you not.

Alexandre Boulerice, a member of the NDP from Quebec said: “Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin my speech, which will end the day, by pointing out the irony of this situation. We can already hear Conservatives outside the House accusing the NDP of being soft, of not believing that safety is an important issue and of being soft on crime. It is the same old tune. However, this is their bill.”

“Although we might be hearing them outside the House, we are not hearing them much in here. They are not here; they are not talking today. The NDP members are the only ones standing up to say that they care about the safety of Canadians and the Canadian value of respecting rights and freedoms. As the official opposition, we take this issue much more seriously than the Liberals do. They will stand with the Conservatives and vote in favour of a bill that will undermine our civil liberties. We find that particularly disconcerting.”

Here here! Can I have a Je me souviens mon frère? Liberté, égalité, fraternité.

Carol Hughes, a member of the NDP from Ontario said: Mr. Speaker, once again, we have to ask ourselves questions when such a bill is presented. As I said, it is surprising that the Liberals are supporting a bill that will really have a negative impact on the rights of Canadians and their Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

When there is a demonstration, in Quebec or elsewhere, they will obviously use such legislation if they do not agree with the demonstration. We therefore have to ask ourselves the following questions: is the legislation necessary? Are current laws sufficient to deal with the problem of terrorism? Does the legislation violate fundamental rights? We quite simply do not believe that Bill S-7 meets these criteria. I think it is obvious that there is no difference between the Conservatives and the Liberals with respect to the protection of our rights: they disagree.

Thank you sister. Thank you for recording your dissent.

Alexandre Boulerice also said: “Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate my colleague from Halifax on her speech. I would like her to comment on the flip-flop by the Liberal Party of Canada. The Liberal Party is the party that most often wraps itself in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which it says is so important in the history of Canada, and we agree with it on that point."

"Why today will the Liberal Party, the party of the Charter Rights and Freedoms, be going against all the country's rights and freedoms advocacy organizations, which tell us that Bill S-7 is a threat to our civil liberties? Why is it joining forces with the Conservative Party, when we know very well that there is a real chance this bill is unconstitutional and violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms? Even the former director of CSIS said that the measures in this bill were neither appropriate nor necessary."

Je vous remercie du fond de mon cœur.

Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party said: "I stand with him in finding, despite my concerns about terrorism, that this current law, Bill S-7, goes too far, and that the existing tools and law in the Criminal Code are more than adequate. I stand with the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, the Canadian Association of University Teachers, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations, the international civil liberties organizations, as well as with the concerns expressed at committee by the Canadian Bar Association, in believing that the bill potentially violates our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and will therefore be struck down later."

God bless Elizabeth May.

In the Star Wars saga, Senator Palpatine used a false flag attack to gain sympathy in the senate so he could become Chancellor. Once he got those powers he used a manufactured emergency to do away with the free republic with the stroke of a pen and created a galactic empire.

In response Padmé said “So this is how liberty dies, to the roar of thunderous applause.” This is exactly what has happened here today. This is a sad day for all of us. Let us have a moment of silence for the death of the Canadian Charter of Rights and the death of our Liberty. Once liberty is lost, there’s only one thing that will bring it back.
