The Hells Angels and Stock Fraud

David Banes, the stock fraud expert from the Vancouver Sun put out an interesting article two blog readers just sent me. In the article he asks Are the Hells Angels financing the illicit promotion of dubious penny stocks in B.C.? He claims he has discovered evidence that raises that distinct possibility.

B.C. Securities Commission learned Erwin Speckert had funneled $8.2 million from offshore accounts to Abbotsford stock tout Colin McCabe to promote dodgy stocks listed on the OTC Bulletin Board in the United States.

In February this year, the RCMP charged Speckert with possessing the proceeds of crime, trafficking in the proceeds of crime, possession for the purpose of trafficking in proceeds of crime, and laundering the proceeds of crime from the proceeds of illegal gambling in Ontario.

Although the RCMP declined to provide any information on the gambling enterprise David Banes connected the dots and discovered that it was an Internet gambling enterprise involving London Hells Angel Rob Barletta. Barletta was arrested along with Toronto Hells Angel Billy Miller tied to Platinum SB, an offshore betting site in Costa Rica with an active client base in the GTA.

Police said the gambling site provided the Hells Angels and their partners in traditional organized crime groups with millions of dollars, which fueled other crimes, such as human and drug trafficking. Whether any of that money was destined for illicit stock promotion purposes is not clear, but it certainly raises that rather disturbing possibility. I believe Alex Caine is going to touch on this in his next book about the Hells Angels due to come out this fall.

March 29 David Baines reported that Speckert has also been closely associated with longtime West Vancouver stock promoter Ingo Mueller, who has been in regulatory trouble here and in the United States. Remember the VSE? The VSE was shut down because of it's coruption being filled with fake pump and dump stocks.

April 9 David Baines reported that Erwin maintained a very close relationship with a stock promoter in Port Coquitlam. That three part series concluded that Erwin dealt through a web of offshore companies, mainly his firm Everest Asset Management AG, a Zurich-based company that provides asset management and protection services.

By dealing through a Swiss-based company he can invoke Swiss secrecy laws, as he is trying to do with the B.C. Securities Commission. But almost everything else about him and his services appears to be Canadian. He was born and raised in Canada, and currently lives in Minden, Ont. Many of his clients reside in Canada, more particularly Vancouver. And many of the bulletin board companies he deals with are either based in Vancouver or have strong connections to Vancouver.

Dare I say who else uses the shell game to hide their tracks?

April 11 David Baines reported that Erwin was tied to Quest Water Global Inc., a North Vancouver-based bulletin board company. A stock that a Panamanian-registered company named Resource Project Partners paid U.S. newsletter writer Mike Casson $900,000 to prepare and distribute a report that promoted the stock.

March 28 I reported on a Surrey father and son involved in an international stock scam. Two San Diego lawyers helped the pair hide their involvement in the company and provided misleading legal opinions. Former Vancouver geologist and mining executive John Gregory Paterson pleaded guilty to four of nine counts of fraud September of 2012. August of 2012 five from Surrey were accused of stock manipulation. Something the oil companies do all the time.

Coal in China from Surrey

There’s a lot of talk about coal these days. The Huffington Post recently ran an article on the Chinese Coal Bubble while a blog reader just sent me this article about the pollution in China from their use of coal. Coal was an important fuel source that started the industrial revolution. Yet in our day, we can see the effects of coal and can clearly see the impact it has on the environment.



Coal-fired power plants are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. There are health problems involved in mining the coal and the burning of coal. In Wales where coal was mined the rivers ran black from coal dust. That destroys fish habitat and the ecosystem we live in.



China is the world’s largest consumer of coal. They have suffered greatly from it’s effects both in their water and their air quality. Cleaner energy technologies are becoming more competitive and more accessible. The next decade will be crucial for countries - especially developing nations - to make the right energy choices. We should be sporting the right choices not making a quick buck off the bad choices.



Protesters in Oregon rejected exporting coal in their ports. So once again Surrey gets a proposal that no one else wanted. Exporting coal in the Surrey docks will be a quick buck but it is not a responsible sustainable choice for the future of the planet or the residents of Surrey. Wherever there is coal dust, health problems are associated with it. New Westminster city council says No but Godzilla says Yes. That is not progressive.

Burning toxic garbage in Surrey is not a progressive solution to landfill sights. It’s just a way for another corporate polluter and campaign contributor to make a quick buck at the planet’s expense. In contrast, Surrey is planning on the building largest organic biofuel facility in Canada.

The Surrey Now is reporting that “the $65-million facility will convert 80,000 metric tonnes of organic waste per year into compressed natural gas. The renewable fuel will be used by FortisBC and will also power a fleet of 52 waste trucks in Surrey's Rethink Waste program.” One step forward, two steps back. Ross Buchanan writes for the White Rock Sun now and has just posted an article about this very issue called Our Dirty little Secret.

Bacchus and the Syndicate in Fort McMurray

OK this one blows me away and I’m going to have to process it. Someone tells me there’s this Hells Angels puppet club in Fort McMurray called the Syndicate. Only unlike Greg Wooley’s Hells Angels puppet club in Montreal called the Syndicate, these guys are all white. In fact some of them appear to be white pride like the other Hells Angels drug traffickers the Whiteboyz Posse.

Kinda strange how the white guys would pick the name of a black gang in Montreal but hey, stranger things have happened. Just look at what Bacchus named themselves after. Yo bro that ain’t no Spartan. That’s a roman soldier. A pretty famous one at that. A warm brotherhood indeed.

So here we have a Bacchus member from Newfoundland hanging out with the Syndicate in Fort McMurray. A Newfie Bacchus, I’m sure there’s a joke to be told there somewhere. Bacchus in Eastern Canada have quickly attained criminal organization status. So I guess if the Syndicate poses with Buttkiss, that makes them affiliated with a criminal organization. The Fort McMurray today is confirming that the Syndicate does exit there.

After Jeffrey Caines received a 14 year sentence for drug trafficking in Fort McMurray, a member of the Ontario Biker Enforcement Unit said: "The Hells Angels have interest in that area because of the drug market and if one person is out of the picture, they will replace them with someone else." Evidently, Fort McMurray is another small town that is suffering from the Hells Angels drug and prostitution trade. The Hells Angels, bringing drugs and prostitution to a small town near you.



One source claims Cecil (Kristian) MacEachern, the guy with the white Pride shirt is from Glace Bay, Cape Breton and is the one running the Syndicate Mc in Fort Mcmurray. Seemingly Cecil was kicked out in 2009 for being a rat and is now back in charge. They go around town telling everyone that they are the Hells Angels Syndicate and are here to do the HA work.



This is Cecil wearing a 1% Southland Hells Angels hoodie. That’s a Hells Angels chapter in Calgary. Notice the red flag in the back pocket. That’s a very outdated tradition along with the fuzzy troll that the black gangs in LA used to use.



This is a picture of Cecil and his mother. He always was one sorry SOB.



Dion Piercy is a tattooist from Cape Breton and was a big player on the Syndicate coming to Fort Mcmurray. He has since left town and moved to the Edmonton area. He is now on the HA probate program. He too was busted on some fraud charges a few years back and cut a deal with law enforcement to rat out his brother so he could get sent to Poundmaker's Lodge.



This is big Jay aka Jason King with the glasses on his head flipping the bird sporting a Syndicate vest. Jay lives in an apartment with his mom and little brother.



That’s Ron Clark and Bruce Scrivner. Ron Clark is a long time resident of Fort Mcmurray. It says striker on his vest under Fort McKurray. I wonder if they have a dental plan.



Aaron Sweetapple and Mitchell Burry are the Newfies in the very first picture. Mitchell is the one with the Bacchus Newfoundland patch and Aaron is the one with the Syndicate Fort Mcmurray patch. Both are from Glovertown Newfoundland and have both since left Fort Mcmurray.



This is Aaron at the Health Science center in St Johns NL drying off his fingers after some serious nose picking with a broken leg. He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Syndicate Forever Forever Syndicate or at least until the next clown comes along. Just like the Zig Zag crew and LHS. Only they shot their LHS guy themselves. No L&R there. Just money and greed.

BC Government says no to Gateway but Alberta says yes

Although the BC Government has said no to the Northern Gateway proposal, Alberta still wants to cram it through by going through the federal channels since Harper took BC out of the equation in the decision. For BC to say no and for Harper to cram it through anyway would be an act of war. Jail would be too good for him.

The Alberta Premier already said our concerns were absurd so there really is nothing left to discuss. An oil spill on land or on sea is a huge concern. Especially when it’s not oil it’s this toxic precursor to oil. The mountain of Petroleum coke refining that crap produces is another concern. It’s not that much money for BC. It’s financially not worth the risk. Especially when they refuse to give us a break at the pumps and insist on screwing us at the pump thanks to their government sponsored monopoly. Enbridge has shown to be irresponsible in pipeline maintenance.



Brian Mulroney’s Barrick gold, the shady gold company founded by an arms dealer, has been fined $16 million by Chile’s environmental regulator for very serious violations of its environmental permit. Here in Canada, Stephen Harper rewards corporations for destroying the environment.

The Environmental Superintendent said all other construction work on Pascua-Lama must stop until Barrick builds the systems it promised to put in place beforehand for containing contaminated water. Instead of building the canals, Barrick’s bulldozers went ahead and moved mountaintops in preparation for a projected 25 years of gold and silver production. Moved mountain tops? Why that’s exactly what Imperial Metals wants to do to Catface Mountain in the middle of a protected biosphere.

Meanwhile, protesters at a Canadian mine in Kyrgyzstan, Russia blocked a road and cut off power to the mine desirous the mine be Nationalized. That means the profits would go to the people not a fat cats pocket like the oil in Mexico. Kyrgyzstan is south of Kazakhstan.

Jimmy Cournoye pleads guilty

Jimmy Cournoye pleads guilty as the "Kingpin" of the latest Hells Angels drug trafficking ring to be busted that shipped BC Bud to New York and then to LA in exchange for massive amounts of cocaine. He will receive a mandatory sentence of 20 years in prison and could face life in prison. Yet that huge sentence will not touch the real kingpins and the Hells Angels cross border pot for cocaine ring will continue as the Agency continues making it's cut. Sad news for Cosmo the clown. Sad news for the rest of us too who want to deal with the problem instead of having to watch another circus side show. Just like Manuel Noriega and Freeway Ricky. More scape goats.

Imperial Metals Protest in Vancouver

Friends and residents of Clayoquot Sound in Tofino were protesting today outside Imperial Metals AGM in Vancouver. Imperial Metals wants to blow the top off of Catface Mountain and turn it into an open pit mine. I kid you not. It’s a mountain in a protected biosphere. It is astounding how anyone can be so irresponsible. A lot of people don’t know this insane plan is being proposed.



Raising public awareness is the first step. Shareholders need to know that kind of gross negligence will create a knee jerk reaction from locals and supporters from all over the world who fought to save that pristine ecosystem back in the /80's and in the summer of 1994.



As investors we need to blacklist Imperial Metals. For considering this plan they are a no go – do not invest. That means pensions, stock investments whatever funds are invested in them need to be withdrawn. If they are showing that kind of complete irresponsibility in this project, God knows what they have planned for the rest of the province. We need to boycott Imperial Metals.



Catface and Lonecone Mountains are the centre point of Clayoquot sound. Everyone from all over the world who goes on a whale watching or a Bear watching tour see that wonderful landmark as they go past it. Destroying the ecosystem as well as the local tourist industry is irresponsible.



Recently, over by Ucluelet, Toquaht Bay marina has been closed down because they found arsenic, selenium and cobalt which effects everything in that area including all the shellfish. This is a pristine boat launch for the Broken Islands.

Turns out the poisons were dumped there from a local iron ore mine that shipped iron to Japan in the /60’s. 50 years later the toxic damage to the local ecosystem and tourist industry is just being discovered. We need to wake up and be better stewards of the environment we live in. It’s time to visit Tofino on Vancouver Island and see this wonderful ecosystem before it’s destroyed.

Mountain of Petroleum coke rises in Detroit

Last night Canada was in the news. A mountain of petroleum coke from the Canadian tar sands is rising in Detroit. Locals are rightfully concerned about it’s existence in their city. They claim if provisions aren’t being made for the safe storage of the tar sands byproduct now, what’s going to happen when they increase production through the Keystone Pipeline? A valid question.

Despite all our technological advances we still keep shooting ourselves in the foot with our bizarre attack on the environment. It’s the same with these idiots promoting coal in Surrey. Coal is a step backwards not a step forward. Tar Sands oil is a nightmare.

In the late /80’s back in Ireland everyone heated their homes with coal fires. In the North they had enclosed fireplaces that heated radiators that ran through the house. In the South it was just an open fireplace. Sometimes they would burn peat but mostly it was coal. The coal man would come around to the houses just like the milkman used to here back in the day.

As a result, most small towns like Cork had a huge cloud of coal dust smog that lingered over the city. Air quality was low. I mentioned this to my father at the time and he said when your mother and I were married it was the same thing in West Vancouver. You're kidding I said. That was just one generation ago. Now we have central heating. You turn a switch and a natural gas furnace heats your home or in some cases, an electric radiator. Electricity and natural gas is a step forward from coal. Propane is clean burning. We can make money without being so irresponsible.

Yet many are determined to make a buck off of sending us back in time with regards to environmental responsibility and stewardship. Remember when the rivers in Wales ran black from coal dust? We don't want that here. Oregon doesn't want Coal exports so we bring it to Surrey with welcome arms. I suppose we'll welcome the medical concerns it brings with it.

Leaving a mountain of petroleum coke in Detroit is irresponsible. It doesn’t matter how much money they spend on advertizing telling us it’s good for us. Next they will try and tell us it prevents tooth decay and will start selling it to us for our tooth paste.

So if they put the Enbrige Pipeline in BC and build a refinery in Kitimat, what's their plan for dealing with all the Petroleum coke? Dump it ion the ocean and kill all the food for the migrating Grey and Humpback wales?

A Word on Israel

Although I am very concerned about Mosad’s involvement in Iran contra, denying the Holocaust and hating on Israel is as unpatriotic as is hating on Muslims, Trade Unionists, Environmentalists or any other group. Israeli arms dealers selling arms to their enemy should concern them. Israeli Arms dealers trafficking cocaine or committing investment fraud to raise money for intelligence operations should concern everyone.

Although I will agree there are many corrupt Jews involved in banking and oil that are clearly part of the monolithic conspiracy Kennedy talked about, denying the Holocaust is both ridiculous and offensive. It’s like saying the earth is flat when we know very well it is not. It’s offensive because we fought Hitler for a reason. Denying the enslavement and murder of any group of people is offensive.

Israel, like everyone else, has a right to exist. Historically, Israel never controlled all of Palestine but Israel was very much a part of it. Historically, Israel hasn’t always been right. Yet their rights and their freedom of religion is tied to ours and everyone else’s. Zionism isn’t displacing people from their homes, it’s a quest for a better life for everyone. It’s a higher ideal we can all aspire to.

A Word on Free Speech

Yes I do believe in free speech. Anyone is allowed to create their own blog about any topic under the sun. I will not censor them or stop them from doing so. I have chosen to make my blog about the Hells Angels violent control of the drug trade and the Vancouver Gang War which is spreading across the country. God knows there are many Hells Angel support groups all over the Internet. This is not one of them.

If people want to talk about how wonderful the Hells Angels are, they are free to do so on any one of the many dysfunctional support groups. I’m not going to approve comments that rehash the same old nonsense that we have already proven false. The Hells Angels are not just a motorcycle club. They are a criminal organization that uses violence to control the drug trade.

I started making the comments moderated because of all the death threats and threats against my family. It became toxic so I just stopped approving those comments. A couple of people felt that because they spammed the blog they somehow owned it and were free to insult me and control the direction of the content of the blog. Not so. The traffic on the blog has continued despite the fact that those spammers are not longer posting on it. Yet traffic isn’t my concern.

The purpose of this blog is to try and make a difference. God knows what we have been doing in East Vancouver for the past thirty years has failed and needs to change. I don’t support needle exchanges. Many do. Any time you say you oppose needle exchanges you will surely hear from them. They are free to set up their own blogs and codependent lovefests elsewhere on the Internet. Just not on my blog. That doesn’t mean I don’t support free speech. It means I’m tired of arguing with idiots. It’s pointless.

Harm reduction is only one of the Four Pillars. We can’t blindly promote one pillar and totally ignore the other four pillars but that is exactly what they are doing. Needle exchanges are supposed to be exchanges. You hand in a dirty used needle and you get back a new clean needle. Changing that practice to simply handing out free needles is a health hazard. It results in used dirty needles thrown all over the city.

My main beef with needle exchanges and this ridiculous safe to inject poison site is the fact that police let drug dealers sell crack around these facilities when there is no such provision in the criminal code to let them do so. It creates a forest fire of addiction that consumes everything in it’s path. Addicts steal from real businesses to pay for their drugs. That is the tapeworm economy these money launders live off of.

One person kept saying I had to stop talking about Operation Northwoods. Yet that same person admitted they hadn't heard about Operation Northwoods until they read my blog. That is exactly why we have to talk about it. Most people don’t know what it is. I only found out about it myself a few years ago. We need to talk about Operation Northwoods because it was such a huge case of treason proposed by the Director of the CIA and signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. How that plan got so far needs to be discussed. If Kennedy didn’t veto it, they would have implemented it.

The ATFs drug trafficking in Operation Fast and Furious is important because it was the same as Operation Blade Runner. It was the same thing the CIA had been doing out of Mena Arkansas for years with Barry Seal and many others. Gary Webb claimed the CIA was responsible for the US crack epidemic in the 1980’s. He was right. He documented everything. Catherine Austin Fitts believes the Gary Webb story and so do I.

Iran Contra wasn’t just selling Iran arms to free some hostages. They paid Iran to keep the hostages until after the election. Iran Contra was selling Iran arms to raise money for the contra rebels in Nicaragua. Iran Contra was about selling cocaine and committing investment fraud to raise money for the contra rebels in Nicaragua. That is what Iran contra was. If we want to stop the cocaine that’s coming into Canada and fueling the gang war we need to cut off the CIA’s drug trafficking network. It's that simple.

We need to realize that it was George Bush Sr. that got the agency addicted to trafficking drugs to fund their off the book operations. Back then it was heroin out of Vietnam. Just ask Bo Grits or Terry Reed. That’s why it’s called the George Bush Center for Intelligence. Drug trafficking is their primary source of revenue. They are untrustworthy. In the words of Thomas Paine, I think it fine time we asked for independence from the CIA and MI6. It’s only common sense.



A blog reader just sent me this picture of Kennedy referencing his Secret Society Speech and I think it is very relevant. I will add that I don’t think he was talking about the Free Masons. I think he was talking about the CIA. That’s why they killed him.

In his secret society speech, Kennedy talked about how secrecy in government should be shunned and that “There is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand it’s meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.”

He talked about a monolithic conspiracy that relies on infiltration instead of invasion on subversion instead of elections on intimidation instead of free choice. He said it was a system that has recruited a vast amount of human resources that combines military, diplomatic and intelligence. Intelligence organizations are the focal point of this monolithic conspiracy Kennedy talked about. This was the person that vetoed Operation Northwoods. He knew what they were planning on doing to deceive the people and rob them of their liberty.

”Dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed no secret is revealed.” He talked about the freedom of the press which is exactly what big brother has devoted a huge amount of it’s drug trafficking resources to control. Now we can see why. A salute to Kennedy, Thomas Paine and the return of the American Tea Party. Defending the constitution means all areas of government including it’s intelligence agencies are publically accountable. Keeping unlawful secrets is unlawful.

Arthur Porter arrested in Panama

Stephen Harper’s pal, Arthur Porter stepped down as chair of the CSIS watchdog committee November 2011 after his ties to an Israeli Iran contra arms dealer went public. February 2013 an arrest warrant was issued for him as well as Pierre Duhaime, the former CEO of SNC-Lavalin for their alleged involvement in a massive fraud and conspiracy. Today MSN News is reporting Porter has been arrested in Panama.

Porter faces charges of fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, fraud against the government, breach of trust, laundering the proceeds of crime, and participating in a secret commission. His wife faces charges of laundering criminal proceeds and conspiracy.

January of this year, SNC-Lavalin was awarded the contract for the Evergreen Sky Train line in Vancouver. That deal was done when Harper and Christy Clark’s advisor, Gwyn Morgan was CEO. As the saga unfolds, SNC-Lavalin is offering amnesty to whistleblowers.

Laundering the proceeds of crime hiding out in Panama. Sounds like an old Van Halen song. That brings back memories of when George Bush Sr. had Noriega working for the Agency in Iran Contra under Operation Watchtower. Explain to me again why they sent Manuel Noriega to jail but made Oliver North a Fox TV News host. That one still baffles me.
