Doug McCallum launches Safe Surrey Coalition

The Green Justice Party endorses Doug McCallum for mayor of Surrey and the Safe Surrey Coalition because they will stop the LRT on 104th and they will embrace the New York crime reduction model. We will endorse any candidate for council who will do likewise. It's that simple.

Kevin Hackett's bogus report

Sadly the Vancouver Province and the Vancouver Sun are both reporting on Kevin Hackett's bogus report claiming gang crime is on the decline. I wish it was. Although the peak of the Vancouver gang war was in 2009, last year the City of Surrey saw the highest number of homicides in one fiscal year ever. Most of those were drug related. The current peak in violent crime in Newton and Whalley is drug related. The horrific drug related violence in the DTES is also drug related. The sale of drugs in British Columbia is clearly gang related.

This obvious media spin is a poor attempt to rationalize Christy Clark's massive budget cuts to the Gang Task force and the elimination of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit. That was a corrupt act. Just like eliminating the RCMP task force in charge of investigating money laundering at casinos right after they issued a report about how bad it was in BC. If they want to save money maybe we should contract out our gang task force to Alberta. They seem to be on the ball. I guess if we did that Christy Clark would have to fire them for doing such a good job.

Somewhat ironic the bogus report was released the same day another shooting in Surrey and right before the RCMP found the biggest drug lab in the province's history by accident. If the fire department didn't report something suspicious they wouldn't have found it.

Don't tell me Kevin Hackett is one of Craig Callen and Bill Fordy's FOCCERS? What a huge disappointment that would be. To me he doesn't look hard core at all. He just looks dishonest.

Mission Drug Lab run by Motorcycle Gang

CBC is reporting that Mission RCMP spent all day Monday pulling evidence and material from a massive illegal drug lab in the 7100 block of Horne Street which investigators believe was run by a motorcycle gang. Gee I wonder which one. Since there are no Outlaws or Rock Machine in the lower mainland that leaves us with the Hells Angels. Just like how long time Surrey crystal meth cook Kerry Ryan Renaud was working for John Punko and the Hells Angels.

"A police source close to the investigation says this might just be the biggest drug lab ever found in B.C with commercial mixers and 200-litre drums producing millions of dollars worth of drugs per week and housing enough chemicals to level a city block. The lab was only discovered when a chemical reaction went bad Saturday just before noon. Four to five people were seen running from the subsequent fire. When the Mission Fire Department saw what it was dealing with, it called the RCMP."

Jeffery said although the bosses behind the Horne Street lab will hurt in the short term, they'll be back operating again as long as they can keep supplying the necessary ingredients. "More money will be made available, then another lab will pop up. It's only a matter of time," he said.

Surrey Shooting 134 Street and 90th Ave

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that there was a shooting Sunday night in Surrey around 8:30 OM at 134 Street and 90th Ave. A 19 year old male turned up at the hospital with a single gun shot wound that was non life threatening.

Fake cell phone towers can intercept calls and read texts

Two blog readers sent in this story that has been covered by various media outlets. MSN News is reporting that mysterious fake cellphone towers found across US appear to be connecting to nearby phones and either tapping calls or reading texts. Info Wars is covering it as well.

It appears to originate with a Popular Science article on the matter. The Blaze is reporting that they might not be actually towers either. We all know that the NSA is spying on Americans illegally and that Stephen Harper has created the CSEC to break the Charter of Rights and spy on Canadians. This is just another example of how out of control big brother is on our own home soil. You can't protect civil liberty by doing away with it. Edward Snowdon is a hero.

Journalist beheading video is surreal

There has been a lot of things in the news lately distracting us from the fact that Obama is in contempt of court for not obeying the court order to release the Fast and Furious documents he has been hiding under executive privileged. The most dramatic of which is the video where terrorists claim to behead a journalist.

I'm certainly not going to jump the gun and say every terrorist act is fake or a false flag attack. I will say that my first impression on hearing about the video is that those people are either stupid or it's fake. Think about it. Everyone knows that acts of terrorism enrage the public. As soon as an act of terrorism occurs, what are normally good, God fearing, tolerant people instantly become unglued and say nuke them. After 9/11 Afghanistan was invaded. Clearly terrorists are not the brightest of criminal out there but even they must have some concern about the public perception of their cause. Committing an act of terrorism does not win public support. It inflames it.

Even worse is a brutal act against a journalist. Normally extremists are trying to win over the media to get them to report their side in a positive light. Kidnapping and executing a journalist crosses the line. It's like shooting a peace keeper or a red cross worker. The video claims that if you don't stop bombing us we will keep killing more journalists and innocent civilians. Anyone with a brain knows that is going to create the opposite effect and convince the public to nuke them. That is why I say these terrorists have to either be stupid or the video is fake.

Another bizarre aspect to the video is the fact that it's supposedly made by terrorists in Syria. Syria? Really? One minute we're all in an uproar because the Syrian government used chemical weapons that the west sold him on civilians and want to help the rebels bring him down. Now, as soon as we hear the rebels that we supported in Libya and were prepared to support in Syria are Islamic extremists, now the Syrian government can kill as many civilians as they want and that's all of a sudden OK and we are going to send in troops to wipe out his opposition. This is getting more bizarre by the minute.

Obviously some people think the video is fake. The Epoch Times is reporting that Alex Jones from Infowars has raised some interesting concerns about the legitimacy of the video. People can scoff at Alex Jones all they want. He did raise some very legitimate points in the attack on the USS Liberty and he most certainly didn't make that up.

MSN News reported that Israel confirmed that slain American journalist Steven Sotloff was also an Israeli citizen. Are you kidding me? What on earth is a Jewish American journalist that has Israeli citizenship doing in Syria? If that isn't suspect, I don't know what is.

We know that the CIA has crossed that forbidden line in the past many times before. They have used agents with the false cover of journalists. Crossing that line destroys the credibility of the journalist and put the safety of every other legitimate journalist at risk. Consequently, Sotloff's connections to Mossad are very suspect indeed.

Just to recap on a couple things that we do know, we know that Iraq was invaded based on a lie. They had no WMD and the intelligence community knew that. Operation Mass Appeal was an MI 6 operation that sent out press releases to the media with false information having the sole intent to deceive the public.

We know that back in 2005, two British soldiers went undercover and were caught driving a civilian car loaded with weapons dressed as Arabs. They insisted they were on a secret mission and instead of telling the police at the check point what their mission was, they opened fire on them which resulted in them getting imprisoned. Instead of telling the allied forces in Iraq what their mission was, England destroyed the prison and broke them out without a trial.

What we need to ask is how far will operation mass appeal go? How far will operation Northwoods go? Further than the USS Liberty? We need to remember that Obama is in contempt of court for not disclosing the Fast and Furious documents and not be distracted from that fact.

Loving the Lions

I went back for round two yesterday and hiked the Lions from Cypress. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday their was no wondering where the lions are. It was sunny and they were clearly in sight. Last Saturday they were completely hidden with zero visibility.



I made it to the top of the bump between the two heads of the lions.



If you follow the orange dots spray painted on the rocks, the Howe Sound Crest Trail will take you around the west lion to the middle of the two peaks and then on beyond them.



I think the trail up the west lion breaks off right before this. I didn't find it until my way back and by that time had lost my steam in the heat. Many younger kids tried it but turned back. It's pretty technical. I.E. dangerous. The key thing is you have to follow the marked trail. If you just plan on making you're own trail you're going to get into trouble fast.

On the way back one girl was commenting on how unprepared many of the people there were who hiked it from lion's bay. She said one guy say wow, I'm really dehydrated. Good thing I brought this beer with me. Yeah good thing buddy she said. On a hike like this you need lots of water. Especially if it's sunny. Two 2 liter pop bottles filled one third with water and frozen over night then topped up right before you leaver is best. Plus Gatorade and juice boxes and food to eat. These yahoos that go unprepared are the ones search and rescue end up having to go look for.

I've always wondered what it looks like on the other side of the lions. This trail that keeps on going all the way to Porteau people keep talking about. Well here it is:



This is the view of the east lion from the top of the bump in between the peaks. You can see the Capilano reservoir on the bottom right in the distance.



The Cleavland dam has served Vancouver well for many years. Hydroelectric dams are a lot better than nuclear reactors. They are clean and productive. They create a beautiful lake just like the Seymour reservoir, Alouette lake or Stave lake. The draw back is salmon spawning. You can see the fish ladder they put in to fix that at the base of the Cleveland dam.

It never ceased to amaze me that with all the scientific technology of nuclear reactors, they split the atom simply to generate heat that turns a steam turbine just like a hydro electric dam does. Only the dam doesn't create toxic waste you can't dispose of and create huge public hazards to everything around it. Anyways, right now I'm loving the lions.

There's no way I'd cross the side of the west lion in winter. There would be no ledge at all with snow on it. Now is the best time of year to climb them. Not too hot and the snow pack has melted. Just be careful and be prepared. Bring lots of water. In contrast, the beginning of summer is the best time to climb the glacier on Mount Baker. While the crevasses are full of snow before they open up and turning into giant hazards. Peace.

In Defense of Jennifer Aniston

I really don't give a rat's ass about celebrity gossip. I noticed an article the Vancouver Province reprinted from the Daily Telegraph and had to mention it. The article states:

"Jennifer Aniston has a new movie, a new look and an old problem. The film - Life of Crime - has been well reviewed, and the style mags have praised the straight-cut hairdo she showed off at the premiere, but no one cares about that any more, because Brad Pitt, the actor who dumped Jen nine years ago, has married the woman he left her for, Angelina Jolie." Holy toxic cesspools.

She had a relationship break down nine years ago. This journalist is the guy that needs to get over it, not her. This is the British paparazzi trying to stir up toxic waste to sell newspapers. That's actually quite shameful. Makes us think of British Tabloids and the Murdoch wiretapping scandal. They're even freaking stalking her on a private jet. That's just creepy.

Local reporters for the Vancouver Province on the other hand referred to her as the diva in white. "The film - Life of Crime - has been well reviewed." That's all that needs to be said.

Another Asteroid misses the Earth

The Vancouver Province is reporting that a newly discovered asteroid with have a near miss with the earth on Sunday. Of course it will pass far away but it will be within 1/4 of the moon's orbit. To me, that's pretty close. Evidently this happens all the time. May 10th it just happened as well. That flyby marked the third-closest asteroid near miss of 2014. Turns out Sunday's near miss will be even closer. More like one tenth the moons orbit.

Evidently this happens so often they refer to them as NEA: Near-Earth Asteroids. In 2013 one passed by and made headlines when "reports said that there's a chance it could strike our planet in less than 20 years. Such a collision could unleash a force as powerful as a couple of thousand atomic bombs." This one is called NEA 2014 RC and is nicknamed Pitbull. "To understand the future, you have to understand the past." Word.

Every time we have a meteor shower the earth is bombarded with objects. Most burn up in the earth's atmosphere. We know from the craters on the moon, the moon is hit with stellar objects on a regular basis. One has to wonder if the moon ever gets hit with an object large enough could that effect it's orbit around the earth? One also has to wonder if the earth has ever been hit by a large object, what kind of impact that had on the earth's orbit or climate. Scientists claim this is what might have taken out the dinosaurs in the past. I'm wondering if a NEA passes by earth this close, does the earth's gravitational field change it's current trajectory? Prism - Armageddon.

Hells Angels Criminal Organization Case

As we know the police and the government have seized the Nanaimo Hells Angels clubhouse and have applied to the courts to seize the Kelowna clubhouse under criminal organization legislation. Recently the court directed the crown to provide a list of specific cases where the Hells Angels have in fact been involved in criminals activity. That is a simple and reasonable request. Although the number of cases is exhausting, I put together a pdf file listing a few off the top of my head. When you start to connect the dots and do the math it's pretty overwhelming.

Since I realize police officers read my blog as well as gang members, please forward a copy of the pdf file to the Crown counsel in support of their application to seize the clubhouses. I have much more to say on the matter but it has taken me longer than I thought to put the list together and I wanted to get it online so it can be forwarded to assist the lawyers in that case. Cheers.

Already this list is incomplete. I forgot to put in the Lester Jones conviction which is highly relevant to the seizure of the Kelowna clubhouse. He was the vice president of the Kelowna Hells Angels and was convicted of cocaine trafficking. After he's busted, David Giles, the next Kelowna vice president also gets arrested for cocaine trafficking. That's a pattern.

The first BC Criminal Organization Conviction was in Kelowna. Thomas Donald Fraser and Jason Jonathon Herrick were convicted of trafficking cocaine on behalf of a criminal organization. 6 kilos of cocaine and 400 ecstasy tablets were seized. Only the criminal organization wasn't named. Yet in one of the intercepted phone calls between the two men, Fraser phones Herrick and orders him to “bring some s**t” to “the clubhouse.” With loud music in the background, Fraser tells him the address is 837 Ellis Street, the property known locally as the Hells Angels clubhouse. “Bring lots,” Fraser said. “A quarter.”

A former Kingpin Crew member charged with drug trafficking but that was a pretty insignificant bust. Joey Verma on the other hand was doing some pretty high level drug trafficking even while in prison. We all know who he was associated with. Darryl Wilcox was charged with selling 18 kilos of cocaine. He was a Hells Angels associate. We didn't even mention uncle Joe racing through Salmon arm with a car load of guns and a cell phone jammer right before that local grow was abandoned. That's more criminal activity for ya out of the Kelowna clubhouse. Ryan Ennis, one of the guys with uncle Joe moved into Darryl Wilcox's house while he was in jail. I'd say that's a confirmed association.

That's the problem with compiling a list of criminal activity the Hells Angels have been involved with. It goes on forever. I didn't even mention the multitude of drug trafficking arrests tied to the Hells Angels in Edmonton and Fort McMurray. I had to stop somewhere. You get then idea. Claiming the Hells Angels aren't a criminal organization at this point is offensive. Dustin Zimmerman was an associate of Cliff Montgomery. Cliff was an associate of Glen Hehn.
