Cloverdale Grow op shooting

Turns out there was a shooting at a grow op in Cloverdale 5:00 AM Tuesday morning and the victims ended up in the parking lot across from the Surrey Memorial hospital. Today's Vancouver Province ran a pretty disturbing picture of one of the victims lying on the ground before he received medical aid. I just want to point out one thing - I don't do that. The Kelowna Now posted a picture of the crime scene.

I don't post pictures of dead people or people after they've been shot. That's not the way I roll. I didn't post that picture of Larry Amero lying on the ground after he was shot in Kelowna either. The papers in Mexico are far worse for posting graphic images of dead and mutilated bodies. I think we as a people should be above that. I think we should have a little more respect for the dead. That sentiment is going to tie in with my next two posts about brutality.

Pitt Meadows Shooting - Follow up

OK so remember the Pitt Meadows / Maple ridge shooting where Louie Sparvier died of gunshot wounds? The other guy was stabbed and it appeared that it was a fight between the two. One guy was stabbed and the other guy was shot dead. Now it appears that the two guys that were injured were friends. The top picture is another one of Louie. One source claims this in another picture of him in a robbery surveillance video wearing the same shorts.



Seemingly Louie's GF is claiming it was two other guys who were involved in the fight. Interesting to note that Louie Sparvie was on Larry Mizen's friends list.

Two gang associates with Vancovuer ties arrested

Victoria News is reporting that "Two men with Lower Mainland gang ties have been arrested by police on gun- and drug-related charges. Isaac Drennnan, 32, was arrested Oct. 9 at his Esquimalt home, where officers seized heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and two handguns. Dustin Wadsworth, a 32-year-old associate of Drennan's, was also arrested with several ounces of cocaine on Oct. 22 at his 3500-block Turner Street home in Vancouver."

Again a Vancouver Island gang with ties to Vancouver but the gang is not named. The CFSU appears to be doing a great job but someone upstairs still seems to be running interference for the Hells Angles in the press. Sgt. Lindsay Houghton has taken over Pat Fogherty's job of spinning the truth away from the Hells Angels. Sadly it doesn't appear that they're just avoiding using the Hells Angles name in case of legal challenges. It looks like a premeditated spin away from them. Thus the previous 180 ways to say Hells Angels discourse.

Previously they would name the Vancouver Island gang. It was the Independent Soldiers. When I pointed out the Independent Soldiers work for the Hells Angels, they stopped naming the gang. Isaac Drennnan was under a lifetime firearm ban after being convicted of attempted murder for shooting two police officers in 2003. So what's the consequence for breaking a lifetime firearm ban? House arrest?

CTV is reporting that Drennan's associate Dustin Wadsworth was arrested in Vancouver for breaching bail conditions. He was found in possession of drugs and $58,000 cash. That's a fair chunk of change. This bust still points towards being Hells Angels associates. Heroin, cocaine and crystal meth. Remember that. How many times a day could they seize 178 grams of heroin from a drug dealer in front of Main and Hastings? Please advise.

Kirk LaPointe wants to get rid of open drug dealing at Main and Hastings

News 1130 is reporting that "More enforcement needed to clean up DTES: mayoral candidate Kirk LaPointe wants to get rid of open drug dealing at Main and Hastings." Wow. It couldn't be simpler or more profound. He is the one for Vancouver Mayor. I endorse him. He also opposes the garbage incinerator. Need I say more? Get out there and vote.

The CSIS Power Bill

Here it is, Harper is trampling the Charter of Rights once again as he crams his give CSIS more power bill through the house. As his crime bill had nothing to do with restraining crime, this bill has nothing to do with combating terrorism. After all why did the RCMP Terrorist squad show up at a 70 year old woman's home in Burnaby after she took a picture of the Kinder Morgan pipeline? Everyone who disagrees with Harper is in his definition a terrorist.

Giving CSIS more power after they did Air India is a criminal act. Before this bill is passed CSIS need to be charged in that murder once and for all. The RCMP found that CSIS had a handler that helped plan the Air India bombing and provided the explosives. Before we breath a word about giving CSIS more power they need to be charged in that murder.

Before we breath a word about giving CSIS more power, we need to charge them with the theft of $3.1 billion from their budget. That's not how much they spent, that's how much they lost from their budget. CSIS should be stripped of power not given more power. We can investigate terrorism without CSIS. 329 lives were lost in the Air India bombing. 268 Canadian citizens, 27 Britons, and 24 Indians. That makes CSIS the most destructive terrorist organization in Canada. Charge them.

Toronto Separatism - Take Rob Ford with you

In the past there has been a fair bit of talk about Quebec separatism. Just under half the population of Quebec wanted to split from the rest of Canada and have a go on their own. At the time I said, if they really want to go we have to let them but I really think we as a people would be diminished without Quebec. The culture, the cuisine, the passion. We would be diminished without them. Toronto on the other hand, that's an entirely different story.

A friend and I were talking about a possible book deal a while back and he said we'd have to go to Toronto to sign the papers. Toronto? I said. What's in Toronto? Can't we go to Montreal or Quebec City instead? That would be worth while. Toronto is no different than Vancouver. The Maratimes would be nice. That would be a great trip.

Now that CBC is tabulating the Toronto civic election results and predicting that Rob Ford will win a seat on city council I have to say hold the door. I didn't even know he was running for council when he withdrew his candidacy for mayor after getting caught smoking crack so many times. My first thought was God help us. When the people elect stupidity they get what they deserve. But then I thought all of Canada doesn't feel that way. Just Toronto. So let's do it. Let's cut the cord. Let's kick those idiots out of Canada.

Let's petition for a referendum on separatism. Let's have a vote right across Canada and vote on whether or not we're gonna kick Toronto out of the country because they are making the rest of us look like idiots. If Quebec was to separate we would be diminished but if Toronto stays in the country, that's when we are really diminished. So let's do it. Let's start a petition for a referendum on separatism and kick those lunatics out of the country once and for all. Je me souviens!



At least they elected a new mayor. Looks like it's just EtobiCOKE North (Ward 2) that we're going to have to kick out of the country. Never mind Mark Emery and the price of pot. Rob Ford is the king of crack. Who's the bigger fool - The fool or the fool that votes for the fool? Time for Ward 2 to separate from the rest of Canada. They don't have anything we want. Did ya hear Canada got a new prison? They put a fence around EtobiCOKE .

Privatization of Mexico's oil

Speaking of organized crime in Mexico, the exploitation of the Mexican people is finally complete. Their newly elected "left wing" president just privatized their oil. After all that is what the war in Libya was all about. Gaddafi was good for woman's rights. We helped the religious extremists overthrow and murder Gaddafi so the oil companies could have his oil. Gaddafi was a socialist and their oil was nationalized. That was the real concern. Next to the fact that he wanted to buy a nuclear reactor from Argentina instead of Sarkozy. Although I am pretty right wing when it comes to crime and small business, I have no problem with nationalized oil and natural resources. I see it as a great way to lower taxes and balance the budget.

From 2000 until 2012 the President of Mexico had been a member of The National Action Party (Spanish: Partido Acción Nacional, PAN). Enrique Peña Nieto took office on 1 December 2012. He is a member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI)succeeding Felipe Calderón as president and thereby marking the return to power of the party that had ruled Mexican politics for 71 consecutive years. The previous PRI was Socialist leaning and supported Nationalized oil. The new PRI is caving in to US Corporate pressure and is privatizing Mexico's oil. Imagine that.

Consequently the privatization of Mexico's oil has sparked mass protests. Which isn't surprising since they were protesting the privatization of their oil before the new president was elected. What is surprising is the previously left wing party just privatized their oil. Surprise. The new left wing party is joining in the protests objecting to it.

This is another example of how the CIA screws up a country's democracy like they did in Cuba. By supporting the corupt Batista government they pushed the people to the other extreme which was even worse. Ironically the CIA created the Communist revolution in Cuba. I personally don't support that kind of extremism. Yet this is where the CIA's meddling takes us. Which forces me to question if that is not their real objective in the first place.

I realize that most of the Latino world tend to think Argentina is a bit stuck up. However, I do think the song Don't Cry for me Argentina does apply to Felina, the blogger who was just murdered by the Mexican cartel. She was truly a people's hero. Peace. Nationalization of oil is good. Communism is not. Mind how you go.

Blogger's murder opens Pandora's Box

I've put together a memorial for the blogger that was recently murdered by the Mexican cartel. I checked out the town she was from and found that location opens two separate cans of worms that totally ties in with Operation Fast and Furious. Maria was from Reynosa in the state of Tamaulipas in Mexico which is a border town literally right across the river from Hidalgo, Texas.

In 2012 the Texas Observer reported that the state of Tamaulipas has become the “perfect dictatorship’s” most perfect creation. There exists an almost total censorship of the press and you will never see a public protest in the streets like you do in Juarez. Massive sums of money are made from the illegal trafficking of everything from drugs to human beings to pirated DVDs.

Last July I reported on the the Borderland Beat story about Hidalgo County where nine former lawmen were sentenced on federal drug charges, much of this involving a police drug unit ripping off drugs and escorting cars carrying drugs. Lupe Treviño, the former Hidalgo County Sheriff was sentenced to five years for taking money from a drug trafficker.

Last month Breitbart.com reported that a developing federal investigation has brought up allegations that a Hidalgo County Commissioner paid for votes with bags of cocaine during the democratic primaries in 2012. Attorney General Greg Abbott cited the allegation during a recent debate with Democratic contender Wendy Davis Texas.

August 2011 the Mayor and Police Chief of Columbus, Texas were both charged with arms trafficking for the Mexican cartel. Their brazen request that the FBI return the guns implied that they thought they were acting under the authority of a higher agency as was later discovered in Operation Fast and Furious.

The first thing that struck me about the Valor por Tamaulipas facebook group was the number of missing people they were reporting on. Evidently it's part of a human trafficking ring. My advice for them is not to post pictures of the Mexican cartel but keep posting pictures of people who go missing. Let's get those pictures viral so someone will recognize them where ever they turn up.

If you have pictures of the cartel, give them to the military, don't post them online. Let the people with guns deal with the people with guns. In the words of Reinhold Niebuhr "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference." Peace. Felina Memorial.

David Bishop busted again

The Chronicle Herald is reporting that "An alleged member of the Bacchus motorcycle club appeared in court Monday after Halifax police seized what they say is a large amount of cocaine over the weekend. David James Bishop, 32, and Tammy May Bishop, 39, were arraigned in Halifax provincial court." The family that sells drugs together goes to jail together. Again.

April 2013 David Bishop was sentenced for drug trafficking in Halifax prison. He must have just been released. He sure couldn't have been out long before he got busted for the same thing. In his previous arrest the court was told Bishop wore Bacchus colours when he provided cocaine and steroids to an undercover agent. He's certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed. I guess that's why their logo is of a Roman soldier not a Greek god with a poked out eye and a condom over his nose.



The clown with 81 on his shirt means he's not a real boy yet, he's a Hells Angel puppet.



Now that's true love so it is.

Barrie Dinning Busted

The Edmonton Sun is reporting that Barrie Dinning from the Dirty Flu was busted and is facing a number of weapons charges for attempting to import brass knuckles, stun guns and large bowie knives into Bonnyville, Alberta north west of Edmonton.



On facebook he posted "Due to circumstances beyond my control I have no cell phone so please message me here until I get a new phone and number." Tap that b*tch. One of his friends asks what happened did you lose your phone? No he got his ass busted. Brass knuckles and bowie knives, now that's retro. That's something Santa shouldn't have in his sack.



Bad Dawg. I mean Barrie not Willie.



Barrie Dinning is a proud supporter of the Hells Angels.
