Online Voting

The Vancouver Province is reporting that British Columbia's elections agency states "Internet voting requires more fine tuning - especially when it comes to eliminating security risks - before it can be widely used in provincial and municipal elections.” No kidding. There is absolutely no security involved with online voting. Online voting is a scam that will kill democracy faster than you can say Clinton Curtis' confessional testimony.

Surrey Shooting results in fatality

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that Surrey just had it’s 19th homicide this morning. News 1130 is reporting that it happened around 156 Street and 86B Avenue. Some people in the neighbourhood report hearing four shots just after 5 a.m. Sergeant Jennifer Pound says the victim was in his mid-30s and other people were home at the time of the shooting. The man has no criminal record and police have not been to the house before.

Kim Bolan is reporting a shooting in Vancouver Friday night at 17th and Fraser just after 8 p.m. The 29-year-old victim is known to police and remains in hospital in serious condition. CBC is also referring to it as a targeted shooting.

Kelowna Bath Salts

This morning the Vancouver Province reported that the police had made a large seizure of bath salts in the Okanagan with more details forthcoming. Now News 1130 is reporting that two women from West Kelowna were arrested after 16 kilograms of methylone in three packages were seized at the Vancouver International Mail Centre.

The drugs, destined for West Kelowna, were intercepted on Aug. 23 and 26. The two women were arrested on Sept. 19. So we're just hearing about it now. Better late than never. Bath salts is really serious. It’s even worse than crack or crystal meth if you can believe it. These aren’t bath fizzers. It’s a bizarre drug that has insane side effects.

It’s also knows as the Zombie drug. One of the claims is that a man who was eating the flesh of a homeless person in Florida while on bath salts. My daughters conspiracy theory is that “they” are going to put bath salts in our drinking water to trigger the zombie apocalypse. A rather amusing theory but I still don’t understand where everyone gets this zombie apocalypse from. It sure isn’t biblical. Nevertheless, bath salts are nasty and dealing them is insane.

Drug dealer beat his girlfriend

The Vancouver Province is reporting that “A drug dealer has been convicted of assaulting his Fort St. John girlfriend with a sawed-off shotgun, unlawfully confining her, pointing the weapon at her and threatening to kill her.”

Trevor Michael Doyle, 24, has a long list of outrageous assaults on his girlfriend. He punched her and battered her with the shotgun until her arms were black and blue. Her eyes were swollen and she could barely see. Seven days later he beat her again and hit her in the head and stomach with the but of the shotgun. The day after that he dropped her off at the hospital where it was confirmed she had two broken arms.

This once again shows the other side of gang life. The one the gangsters deny exists. When the honeymoon period is over and things go bad. Very bad. Like the case in Victoria, when a man beats a woman he is no longer a man. He's a coward with no self respect.

Scripturally we are taught that he who loves his wife loves himself. When a man beats his wife or girlfriend he is showing that he has a poor self image. Assaulting his girlfriend is self defeating. You can’t build a self image by tearing someone else’s down.

These cases give rise to Kerry Krysko’s book about her abusive relationship with a Hells Angel called Kerri On which has become a best seller. Now she has teamed up with Kathleen Patel.

Let's not forget that Don Lyons as well as Donnie McWhirter‏ both from the Hells Angels puppet club in Kelowna called the Independent Soldiers have both been charged with beating their ex girlfriends. Blaze copped a plea and plead guilty to a lesser charge of common assault. This problem is huge and it's not going to go away until we deal with it.

Laura Szendrei murderer sentenced as an adult to life in prison - seven years is not life

The Surrey Leader is reporting that the person who murdered 15-year-old Laura Szendrei was sentenced to life in prison, serving his time as an adult. This is good but flawed. He committed the outrageous murder one week shy of his 18th birthday.

Thanks to the advocacy of Chuck and Dona Cadman, young offenders who commit violent crime can be tried as an adult. Murder is a serous crime and it was proper for this person to be tried as an adult. Since he’s over 18 now it is proper for him to serve his sentence as an adult.

However, life in prison means life in prison. It doesn’t mean seven years in prison. Seven years for a brutal murder is outrageous. The new legislation states that a young offender who is tried as an adult and convicted can be named. That is the next step that needs to be taken.

Another step that needs to be taken is to fire Robert Ley. Ley is a “forensic psychologist” that should have nothing to do with the courts. He is a nutbar. Dr. Paul Janke on the other hand, should receive a promotion. Dr. Paul Janke understands natural justice. Robert Ley does not.

US caught spying on France

Oops there goes another allies’ rights. Obama is back peddling after the US was caught spying on France. A French newspaper said the NSA swept up 70.3 million French phone records in a 30-day period. France has summoned the U.S. ambassador, Charles Rivkin, to explain and called the practice "totally unacceptable."

The U.S. is reviewing its intelligence gathering to strike a "balance between the legitimate security concerns that our citizens have and the privacy concerns that we and our allies have as well about some of these alleged intelligence activities." Which really means nothing. It’s a rationalization for violating the US Constitution and spying on anyone they want whenever they want. More revelations thanks to the American whistleblower and constitutional hero, Edward Snowden

Let’s not forget how the US Intelligence agency sold the RCMP the Promis software for keeping track of it’s files. It had a Trojan horse in it that gave the agency access to all the RCMP files. Isn’t it ironic that they didn’t even change the name of the tracking program for the new software that tracks all our medical records in BC. This gives the NSA direct access to all our medical records. Civil liberty is under fire.

Quebec Federation of Labour tied to the Hells Angels

CBC is reporting that links made at the Quebec corruption inquiry tying the Quebec Federation of Labour (FTQ) to the Hells Angels have some federation members trying to unseat President Michel Arsenault.

Duffy blames Harper cover up

Donald Bayne, Sen. Mike Duffy's lawyer, held a press conference today claiming his client who is embroiled in a spending scandal was part of a cover up by the Prime Minister. The toxic mess continues to brew.

RCMP allege former senator Mac Harb committed fraud. Abolishing the senate is not the answer. Making senators elected is.

Another Canadian drug ring busted in Australia

Eight Canadians and two Australians have been arrested after an 18 month investigation which resulted in the seizure of 650 kilograms of pseudoephedrine that had been hidden in vanilla powder jars last month in Melbourne. They said the chemical came from India and is used to produce crystal meth.

Three of the Canadians - Catherine McNaughton, 30, Edmond Proko, 46, and James Kelsey, 27 - appeared in a Melbourne court today charged with drug trafficking. They're due back in court in January. Crystal meth is not speed. It's made with Drano and is incredibly toxic. Melbourne has a problem with Hells Angles violence right now. In the United States the Hells Angels were convicted of large crystal meth rings on the east coast.

The Vancouver Province is reporting that the CFSEU claims key figures in B.C.'s gang scene were involved in moving cocaine and crystal meth between Canada and Australia. More than $35 million worth of cocaine and meth was seized in Australia during the investigation.

Whalley business owners fed up with property crime

Global is reporting that "Business owners in a notorious Surrey neighborhood are struggling with what to do about the high crime rate. Just last week, a family physician considered leaving after metal thieves cut power to his building in Whalley. Turns out, he’s not the only one in the area affected by crime. Many of the local businesses say they’re getting little help from police. Randy Jarry’s Pick and Pull car parts business is a prime target for thieves. In fact, he says the scrap yard is hit overnight several times a week."

Why that's right by the Jesters clubhouse. Metal thieves supporting a drug habit. The tapeworm economy continues. So when City Hall accepts campaign contributions from Casinos and dirty developers where drug money is laundered, local businesses suffer. Glad to see Godzilla has solved all the problems in Surrey by banning Surrey shirts from the mall. The Surrey Winter fest continues to spotlight crime in Surrey. Something Godzilla promised to do in her initial crime prevention coalition but never did. Personally, I think Bill Fordy is too busy grooming himself for an MLA job like Peter Fassbender got.

It would not be very hard for the police and the city to target the scrap companies that accept all that stolen metal and it would not be hard to arrest the predatory crack dealers outside the Front Room. Those are two simple tasks. That fact that they aren't doing that is very suspect indeed. Like I said, Montreal has nothing on Surrey as to corruption. We're worse than they are.
