Canada Day on Mount Seymour

I had an awesome hike today up mount Seymour. Someone tied a Canadian flag on the post marking Seymour first pump. It was awesome. Someone also put a stop Harper sticker on the back of the post. Now that was funny and it wasn't me. There are a lot of other people out there that oppose Stephen Harper's destruction of our great nation. Stephen Harper is no Preston Manning. Stephen Harper is another Brian Mulroney.



The stop Harper slogan was of course started by Brigette DePape who was a page in Parliament that stood in front of Harper with a stop Harper sign during the throne speech. It was a small act of civl disobedience that did not go unnoticed. I remember hearing her speak afterwards about how they were threatening to charge her with terrorism trying to threaten the life of the Prime minister. She jokingly admitted that although technically she might have been able to give him a paper cut with her small sign, that clearly was not the intent of the demonstration. If you want to fix the party, change the leadership. Justin Trudeau is a corporate clown as well. Surprisingly enough he does not support the Charter of Rights like his father did.



I made it to Seymour third peek which is the actual mount Seymour. Mystery peak chair lift only takes you to the top of mystery peak. To get to the top of mount Seymour there are actually three peaks and you have to hike or snowshoe there. The view of the back country is breath taking. You can see Deep Cove and mountains as far as the eye can see.















On the way back from third peak I met a guy coming back from Elsie lake. He asked me if I had any water so I split the last of my water with him. I always bring lots. He said he had misjudged the heat and didn't bring enough for such a long hike. Elsie lake is far. I said that's easy to do. When you're hiking in the mountains in the summer heat you need at least two two litre pop bottles full of water in addition to any juice, Gatorade or pre work out you want as well as lunch. I always fill my water bottles one third and freeze them the day before a hike. That way the water is still cold for the entire hike. They key is to be prepared and enjoy the back country. Peace.

Arthur Porter dead in Panama prison

Holy Barry Seal Batman, Arthur Porter has just died in prison. He's the CSIS watchdog that was facing fraud charges involving SNC-Lavalin and was caught sending money to a mossad agent tied to Iran Contra. I freaking kid you not. The Montreal Gazette is reporting he died of lung cancer. Yet the National Post claims he died suddenly and alone. Things that make ya go hmmmm. Vito Riuzzutto died *suddenly* of cancer at a dinner party shortly after he got out of prison. Don't forget Panama is tied to another high profile local case that we can't talk about yet. Much.

I'm interested in reading what trade secrets he revealed in his book the Man behind the bow tie. Porter's book admits he was suffering from a terminal case of lung cancer. He also mentioned it in his interview with Macleans. Ottawa won't lower the flag for their friend the scape goat. Are they going to lower the flag for their pal Gwen Morgan's fraudulent use of translink tax dollars for the Evergreen line?

Porter was arrested the same time as Pierre Duhaime, the former CEO of SNC-Lavalin for their alleged involvement in a massive fraud and conspiracy. SNC-Lavalin was banned for ten years from international contracts because of their involvement with fraud. After Pierre Duhaime was arrested, neo con spin doctor Gwen Morgan took over and got the Evergreen line contract awarded to none other then SNC-Lavalin. I kid you not. Now they want to raise sales tax to pay for that fraud on top of the billion dollar regional gas tax they already burn every year. Arrest Morgan and Harper.

Canadian Sovereignty for sale

The Vancouver Province reprinted a fascinating column by Gus Van Harten wherein he states "Since winning a majority in 2011, the Harper government has been giving away Canadian sovereignty as if it were candy on Halloween." He starts with FIPA then explains about CETA and TPP. Now I just noticed ICSID as well. These are all acronyms for the same thing: treason.

FIPA is a trade agreement with Communist China that has nothing to do with free trade and everything to do with handing over Canadian sovereignty. It all started with NAFTA chapter 11. We found a flaw in that trade agreement. Instead of removing the flaw each successive trade agreement has continued to magnify and empower it. Sovereignty is dead. Bilderberg reigns.



It's not that I have a problem with banks or profit. Not at all. I have a problem with banking fraud and with theft especially when it involves the theft of tax dollars. They say the best way to rob a bank is to own it. We talked about the banking fraud that created the Savings and Loan crisis back in the /80's. We also talked about the investment fraud that created the Greek financial crisis which is still continuing as we speak. Madoffs were springing up like mushrooms. What was public money became private money then disappeared. Goldman and Sachs were involved with that fraud.

It is a colossal conflict of interest when bankers or investors involved with fraud contribute to political campaigns and get tax funded bailouts worth far more than the thirty pieces of silver they threw at a few politicians. Micheal Moore pointed out the Wall Street fraud that was bailed out with tax dollars. Al Martin described how the CIA instructed him to commit investment fraud as a way to raise money for Iran Contra. Not only were they selling cocaine to fund the contra rebels in Nicaragua, they were also committing bank fraud and using tax dollars to bail the banks out after they defrauded the banks. The fall of the BCCI is a prime example. The collapse of the Nugan Hand bank in Australia is another. Banks don't fail. Someone has to rip them off first.

In Canada the Harper government gave the banks a $65 billion bailout when they said the banks here didn't need one. Then they lied and said they never did it. That fraud should have seen Harper imprisoned right beside Bernard Madoff and Conrad Black. It was the largest embezzlement of tax dollars in our nations history. Which once again emphasizes how the Neo Cons are not fiscally responsible. They tax and spend far worse then any left wing kook. The only difference is they spend it on themselves and their campaign contributors.

Sunday night shooting in Surrey

Scan BC is reporting that #Surrey #RCMP is responding to 148 St & 59 Ave for a report of shots heard. Call is delayed as the reportee called the news before 911. Scan BC is also reporting that @SurreyRCMP investigating report of shots fired between 2 cars along the Fraser Highway at approx 3:20am Teusday morning.

Enjoying the Summer

OK so the theme for this weekend is get out there and enjoy life. Don't let it pass you by. Imagine spending your whole life in one back alley smoking crack. That would be a pretty meaningless existence. You would miss a whole world of opportunities. The thing is, if one place fills up there are a dozen other places you can go. Cliff Falls on Kanaka creek is nice. It's in Maple Ridge.

We've already mentioned the falls at Widgeon creek. You can also paddle up to Granite Falls in Deep Cove and camp there over night. I realize the outdoors isn't for everyone. Yesterday there was a young couple feeling the heat so to speak. The young mother was obviously hot and cranky. Her very young daughter was getting on her nerves and was dragging her purse in the dirt. She began yelling at her daughter not to touch her things and said you are stressing me out.

Then the daughter in tears repeated exactly what her mother said and said you are stressing me out. I had to smile. The husband came back to the car with their young son and the mother started raging at him saying something about not having time for idiots. Then the husband said watch your f*ing mouth and I just cringed and thought there goes the breakdown of another relationship. There is a lot of stress on young couples in our day. The cost of housing is ridiculous. That's why I think finding cheap escapes from the dark and dreary reality can be refreshing

For those less inclined to the back country there's always flying a kite at Crescent Beach or Vanier park. You can hop on a passenger ferry for lunch on Granville Island. No matter what you're into there's always something positive to do. Anything is better then wasting life away in a bar or a party full of trailer trash. There's more to life than drugs and alcohol. Get out there and enjoy it.

Just stay away from the ridiculous drug dealer boats. The Lonely Island video I'm on a boat was a comedy. They were making fun of the plastic people on huge drug dealer boats. Nobody cares your on a mother f*ing boat. What the hell are you over compensating for? Do be careful. There was a young girl in Surrey who was trying to be funny and hop on a moving train. Only she slipped and the train ran over her arm. Tragic. Oh be wise. What can I say more? Have fun and be safe.

They Paved Paradise

This is another example of denying public access to public land. The UBC Research forest in Maple Ridge are endowment lands donated to UBC as a gift. UBC is a publicly funded University. The research forest is open to the public but they have "closed" the waterfalls to the public. This is a beautiful spot on the Allouette River. I realize there has been problems in the past with youth drinking and cliff jumping yet denying public access completely is going over board. That's like putting up a fence around wreck beach and saying the public is not allowed in. It's just not right.



I hiked down and took this picture yesterday. The falls are several tiers and this is the last tier. You can wade into the water and go right up to the waterfalls. Obviously drinking and cliff jumping is a bad idea. I was born in North Vancouver near Lynn Canyon. A lot of people have died there doing stupid things but the park is beautiful and the 30 foot pool is totally safe.

Years ago when Cypress mountain became owned by an American company they tried to deny public access to certain parts of the park. People came out in huge numbers to protest and they rescinded the decision. Tax payers elect the politicians that make the rules. The rules have to be in the public interest. Denying public access to public land is a bad idea. Signs that say no drinking or no cliff jumping are good enough to deal with the liability issue.

In the States if you are caught trespassing you could be shot dead. Here you might get a ticket. I hope they do give me a ticket so I can dispute that ticket in court. If they are going to deny public access then the public need to reassess the University's public funding. Perhaps we can e-mail UBC and request them to amend the policy: reny.kahlon@ubc.ca, presidents.office@ubc.ca, arvind.gupta@ubc.ca, for.recep@ubc.ca

Public access to public land

What a magnificent weekend. Get out there and enjoy it in real life. I went to the lower falls at Golden Ears today. They had all kinds of signs up saying the park was closed. How can you close a public park? The campgrounds were full fair enough but it is a public lake and there are lots of other places in the park people can visit. They even had signs up that said the gate was closed. No it's not. We're not stupid. You can't close the gate during the day. People have to be able to leave with their boats from a day of water skiing. The Gold Creek day area is nice this time of year but was indeed packed. There was lots of parking at the trail head to the water falls. Some of these mall cop wannabees need to get a grip on reality. It's a beautiful place and a public park.

TBM Fresh Start T-shirts

Good news. It turns out that the lump they removed from Michael Green's chest is not cancerous and he has been cleared for his trip to Canada at the end of July. He's the international spokesperson for TBM Scandinavia a support group to help people leave the gang life so to speak. In Scandinavia they have secret safe houses set up just like the RA did back in Ireland. They have T-shirts available on their web site. It's in Danish but you can use Google Translate. They'll send you one if you make a $50 euro donation on their web site and give them your mailing address.

Surrey Shootings

State of the Union

Martin Luther King was a great man with a great vision. Of all his teachings two speeches stand apart and echo throughout history. The first was his I have a dream speech. Thousands had marched with him to Washington where he delivered his inspiring vision. He said: In spite of the difficulties and the frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted within the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it's creed we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. I have a dream today.

It is difficult to watch and impossible to comprehend how a handful of lunatics can do such dramatic damage to that inspiring vision in our age of reason. We saw the Rodney King video years ago. It was astounding. The outrage was understandable. Yet rioting is counter productive. You're mad so you're going to burn your neighborhood and city. The logic fails. The same thing happened a few years ago in England. The police were caught red handed lying about a murder they committed. The people had a legitimate grievance but it was lost when they started rioting and looting. It was at that point when their just cause vanished and their quest for justice failed.

Now we go from one extreme to the other. Neighborhoods up in flames over a legitimate grievance to individual lunatics going into a Black Baptist church and shooting random people in the congregation. Nothing could be more absurd. That lunatic does not represent white people any more than a terrorist represents Islam. As Martin Luther King taught, I've seen too much hate to want to hate and every time I see it I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. When evil men burn and bomb good men much build and bind. His words ring true today.

The other breath taking speech was delivered the day before he was assassinated called I've been to the mountaintop. It was somewhat prophetic as he indirectly predicted his own assassination. He referenced his dream. He said that he had been to the mountaintop and had see the promised land. Comparing his dream to Moses' quest for the promised land. He said he had seen that one day his vision would become a reality. He said that I might not get there with you but we a a people would get there. He said everyone wants to live a long life. Longevity has it's place. Yet I'm not worried about that now I just want to do God's will. He then said he's not fearing any man because his eyes had seen the coming of the Lord. It was very inspiring.

Well, like Martin Luther King I too have been to the mountaintop. Only I didn't see the coming of the Lord. I saw the depths of hell. Finian's inferno so to speak. I saw the ruthless exploitation that goes on outside the Front Room in Surrey and in the DTES. If people have to ask me why I do this blog, I can't explain it to them. For me the answer is clear: Janice Shore and Ashley Machiskinic.

When this blog first started it was all about Chris Mohan. It was the answer to the heartfelt plea of a grieving mother. As I said in my eBook it all started with the Surrey Six. That murder where two innocent bystanders were intentionally executed outraged everyone. As a result everyone and their dog has flipped on those involved and no one sees them as rats for doing so. Everyone sees Jamie Bacon and those who helped him as rats. Well wait 'till I tell ye, Jamie Bacon did not try and tax Corey Lal on behalf of the Triads or the UN. He tried to tax Corey Lal on behalf of the Hells Angels.

That brings us to Janice Shore. A soft spoken pan handler who was sexually assaulted and beaten to death for a drug debt in Surrey. It couldn't have been a very large debt because she was a user not a dealer. Her murder was to send a message to the others who were being likewise exploited pay your debts or end up like her. The place they left her body was designed to send a message to all the drug addicted sex trade workers outside the Front room. Pay up and shut up or you'll end up like Janice. In Whalley the drug dealers are the pimps. They give the sex trade workers crack then beat the life out of them for payment. When they get a trick the drug dealers take everything. There is nothing consensual about it. The tree that they left Janice's body at was where the drug dealers demand free service from the sex trade workers they sell crack to.

So Larry Mizen is gone and they rerouted Lenny' cocaine to Whtehourse and the Yukon. Yet the Hells Angels are still supplying the Front Room with crack. Just the other week I saw a guy wearing a Kelowna Hells Angels support shirt. He wasn't a member of the Hells Angels but he was using the name and reputation of the Hells Angels to do business and the business he was doing was enforcing for the crack dealers outside the Front Room just like Larry Mizen did.

I don't have beef with the whole club. It's just one or two guys. Skelletor, Rainbow Ricky, Len Peltier. One percent of the one percent so to speak. All Hells Angels don't sell crack. Yet when they use the name and reputation of the club to sell crack then it implicates all of them. Selling drugs in clubs is none of my business. Dial a dope operations are none of my business. Grow ops or selling pot is none of my business. That is all part of supply and demand.

Giving crack to the homeless for free then beating the life out of them for payment is my business. What happened to Janice Shore and Ashley Machiskinic is my business. And Moses said to Pharaoh let my people go. Prophesy unto Gog leader of Magog and declare thus saith the Lord I am against thee. Let it be known that Surrey is free. Just like Derry Bogside. Peace.



Another reason I have beef with Lenny is because of what happened to Dru.
