RCMP pot smoker has uniform seized

CBC is reporting that a RCMP officer who believes he should be able to smoke medical marijuana while in uniform has had his uniform seized by fellow Mounties. Go figure.

Michael Le cops a plea

Hoop there it is. The publication ban must be lifted because Kim Bolan is confirming earlier reports that Michael Le from the Surrey Six has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder Corey Lal only. First degree murder charges have been dropped. Another deal with the devil. Kim Bolan is reporting that Prosecutor Mark Levitz said in his opening that Le and Bacon ordered the murder of Lal because he had refused to pay a $100,000 tax to the Red Scorpions. Which was obviously for the Hells Angels not the Red Scorpion but we won’t get into that. Much.

All we know is that James Riach from the Independent Soldiers, a Hells Angels puppet club, met the Bacon brothers at Castle fun Park December 2006 before the Surrey Six which was on Oct. 19, 2007. We know that Larry Amero was partying with the Bacon brothers all along not just when he was shot with Jonathon in Kelowna. That’s what we do know. Looks like Jamie Bacon is going down for the Surrey Six. Let’s hope Larry Amero and Spike goes with him.

Radioactive water from Japanese reactor is still leaking into the Pacific Ocean

Two different people told me about this at work and I’m wondering why it’s not more prevalent in the news given it’s global significance. Apparently, the Fukushima nuclear reactor is still leaking radioactive water and it’s coming our way. Radioactive water leaks continue to contaminate the Pacific Ocean’s ecosystem, and thus, the entire world’s food supply.

All we heard was something about Japan donating money to help Canada clean up Tsunami debris off it’s coast. I thought that was rather bizarre at the time. Japan gets hit with a Tsunami and they send us money. That’s kind of backwards. Yet this global eco crisis with radioactive water killing the world’s food supply is much more pressing.

300 tons of radioactive groundwater is leaking every day into the plant's harbor and on into the Pacific Ocean. That’s over two and a half years after the March 2011 reactor accident. That is a huge amount of radioactive water contaminating the ocean.

Toll Fraud Promised

On the front page of today’s Surrey Leader is the headline that reads: “Review on tolls promised.” What a con that is. “Transportation Minister Todd Stone is pledging to review B.C.’s provincial tolling policy that currently blocks tolls on existing roads and bridges, adding he’s concerned about the unfair proliferation of tolled crossings of the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver.”

Why that’s the same scam Dianne Watts tried to pull for the BC Liberals. Finding other regions to pay for her spending. One would think they have the same campaign contributors. The headline and article is a complete scam in itself. It’s trying to come across as though a politician is trying to do something fair for the people. Gag.

In reality he’s talking about committing a criminal act. Right now the law bans them from tolling existing roads and bridges that are already paid for. That’s the way it should be. He wants to change that in another obsessive tax grab. Gee I thought they said the NDP were the only ones that would tax and spend. Evidently not. Isn't the freedom to move in the Charter of Rights?

The Lions Gate bridge was tolled when it was first built. After it was paid for they removed the toll. That is fare. Putting a toll back on the Lions Gate bridge would be a criminal act. The same with the Coquihalla. It’s paid for and the toll has been removed. Putting a toll back on it is simply a tax grab. Godzilla and her Campbelism need to be stopped.

Why is Wally Oppal out of jail?

I find it astounding that this criminal has the audacity to criticize the police for anything while he should be in prison himself for his negligent handling of the Pickton Inquiry. He shut it down as soon as the Hells Angels were mentioned and was seen giving one member a big hug afterwards. All the lawyers for the Aboriginal women boycotted the inquiry. His side job in a slasher movie was outrageous as was his offensive statements about a rape victim.

The Eagles have landed

On the lighter side, Yesterday I went to Harrison Mills to see the eagles. The tide was out and the water was the lowest I have ever seen. I usually put my kayak in at Kilby and paddle up to where the river spreads wide and shallow. Yesterday that whole section was one great big sand bar.



There were several eagles but not the multitude we normally see. I understand there were much more the previous week. The fact that some yahoo was doing stunts in a Cessna didn’t help. All that noise scared the eagles away. When you go bird watching you have to be quite.



If you go to the Rivers Edge Restaurant at the Sandpiper golf course they have a free trail set up where you can walk to the exact spot I usually kayak up to and they have an observation point set up. It’s well wroth checking it out and stopping in for lunch this time of year.

Breaking news at the Surrey Six trial

Well there’s certainly some dramatic breaking news at the Surrey Six trial but unfortunately that information is under a publication ban so I’m not allowed to say what it is. Kim Bolan is confirming that there was a sudden adjournment today and that a new publication ban is in effect. In all fairness I think everyone is going to need some time to process the new development and see how the dust settles. Keep an eye on Kim’s blog because she’ll be the first to break the news when the publication ban is lifted which should be 2:00 PM Wednesday.

Update: Michael Le cops a plea

Clay Roueche: Balancing the extremes

Before I head out to the real world, I just wanted to mention Clay’s prison transfer again. Although I don’t support selling crack, I used to support Clay’s prison transfer just like I do support Mark Emery’s prison transfer. Both prisoners committed their “offense” while in Canada. One was extradited to the US the other was shafted and arrested when his plane was rerouted there. Both should be allowed to serve their sentences in Canada.

Not to say that the offenses these two Canadians committed are in any way comparable. Extraditing Mark Emery for selling a few seeds while they allow the Hells Angels to extort Mark and the entire Vancouver 420 movement by selling pot openly across the street at the black door and at the Bulldog Café is hypocritical and suspect. It is disproportionate and represents unequal protection of the law.

Clay without doubt is in a league all by himself. No doubt his following scares the authorities. For that reason, I am unsure if a public campaign to support his prison transfer will have the desired result. The more followers he has the more fearful they will be of him and will be more likely to send him farther away. Which in itself is also problematic because wherever they send him he makes more friends and new contacts. Let’s face it, Clay is a pretty likeable guy. Very charismatic. Sells a very appealing message of loyalty and respect. The same terms the Hells Angels use as they stab you in the back to make a buck.

The question we need to ask is are the UN any different? Are they any better? Do they talk the talk or do they walk the walk. Everywhere you go the struggle between good and evil exists. It exists within any organization as well as within every mind and heart of each individual. We cannot understand or appreciate one without the other but clearly we must support good and shun evil if we are attempting to find peace and enlightenment like the Zen masters of old.

Let’s talk about abuse. Beating up your wife or girlfriend isn’t a sign of enlightenment or self respect. It’s the opposite. Kerri Krysko is breaking her story about her involvement in the gang world that was abusive. Don Lyons and Donnie McWhirter from the Independent Soldiers in Kelowna have both been charged with beating the exs.

Obviously individuals in their own personal struggles with good and evil sometimes cave in to the dark side and violate the rules of the club they joined. The question is, what does the club then do about it? Do they turn a blind eye or do they take the person aside and say yo man that is messed up. I’m not talking about shooting them for beating their ex. I’m talking about dealing with it instead of ignoring it and hiding it. The club I refer to could be the Hells Angels, the UN or the RCMP. We see the same problems exist in all three organizations. Rage and denial is archaic. We need to fess up to it and deal with it because it’s not going away.

Let’s talk about good and evil. Obviously one can’t exist without the other. Yet there’s a huge difference between selling drugs in clubs and selling crack on the street. Let’s talk about Janice Shore. What they did to Janice Shore was messed up. Janice was quiet, polite and soft spoken. She was homeless with an addiction. Giving her or anyone else free crack then beating the life out of her for payment is predatory. That is evil. There is nothing good, noble or respectful about it. Claiming there is simply is a lie.

Materialism and greed are not virtues of a Zen Master or the Eastern philosophies. Take Taoism or Confucianism. Materialism and greed are the exact opposite of what those Eastern philosophies teach. Torturing crack addicts in basements so you can drive a new butt ugly SUV that looks like a freaking soccer mom’s mini van is messed up. It’s not the real world. It’s a delusion.

Clay’s got a lot going on. He’s got a new song. He’s putting out books and possibly even a movie. Yet this follower he has concerns me. He needs some time with Dr. Phil.

He appears to be a tattoo artist from Austin Texas. He’s got a good flow, is talented but he really needs to lose the face paint, the knife and the obsession with the dark side as portrayed in Batman’s Dark night. That stuff is kinda messed up. If he can set that part aside, he’d be solid.

I've actually since corresponded with Pepperblade and it turns out he is in reality a really nice guy. Just goes to show you you can't judge a book by it's cover. Take Shane Bunting on the other hand is a creep. Compare Shane with Macklemore from Seattle and you see two extremes reveal two very different worlds. One represents good, peace and enlightenment, the other represents darkness, confusion and misery. We need to support good and shun evil. That’s walking the walk.

Surrey's 23rd murder of the year

The Vancouver sun is reporting that a man's body was found at 91 and 147A street this morning. Taking Surrey over the top for the record number of murders in a year which was 21 back in 2005. We're now at 23 with a month left to go.

I do however, have the inside scoop on this one. According to local residents, the house where this homicide took place is a known after hours illegal booze can. The neighbors have been complaining about it for seven years. Two years ago a guy was shot in the knee there. When they said after hours club I said what for the Green Timers pub? They laughed and said no. They said people from Surrey don't where stilettos. I said oh so it's pretty high end. Yes they said. They must be from Vancouver. There's prostitution, guns, you can get anything you want there.

So once again we see an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Dianne Watts and Bill Fordy rush in with their publicity side show trying to promote their own political campaigns while they were the ones that created the problem in the first place. The residents have been complaining about that place for seven years. The police and the city did nothing about it. The residents said what are you going to do, wait until someone gets killed? Sure enough, now someone has. That negligence falls upon the people that refused to do anything about seven years of complaints.

Update: The Vancouver Sun and the Vancouver Province are both reporting the name of the victim is Ronald Richard Lomas who has extensive criminal record. Both papers are confirming he was murdered in an illegal after-hours bar in surrey. The question is, if the neighbors were complaining about it for seven years, why didn't Dianne Watts and Bill Fordy do anything about it?

Maple Ridge women caught with a kilo of cocaine in Saskatchewan

The StarPheonix is reporting that two women from Maple Ridge aged 23 and 19 were caught with just over a kilo of cocaine at the Saskatoon International Airport. Maple Ridge, why that’s Spike’s stomping grounds. The same chapter implicated in that huge drug trafficking ring in Spain. Haven’t heard how that one is doing lately. We’ll have to find out more about both.
