Vancovuer teen dies of fentanyl overdose

The Vancouver Province is reporting that Jack Bodie, the 17-year-old boy who was clinging to life after a suspected fentanyl overdose has died. Vancouver Police said the teen, along with another 16-year-old boy, are believed to have bought and ingested fake OxyContin pills, known as “fake ’80s.” The pair passed out in Shelley Park in East Vancouver Saturday night after taking the drug. They were taken to B.C. Children’s Hospital.

The teen's parents told Global News that their "bombastic, charismatic" son was "full of life," with a bright future ahead. "He's not what we could consider, in our mind's eye, the typical overdose. He's a young man who took a pill and fell asleep on a park bench," said Mark Bodie, Jack's dad.

Anonymous and John Baird

The National Post is reporting that Anonymous is threatening to release text messages from John Baird that allegedly reveal the ‘real reason’ he left politics. They claim he was being blackmailed by Mossad with incriminating photographs. I'll wait for more tangible evidence to surface.

Anonymous didn't say they had a copy of the incriminating photo, they said they had text messages that referred to it. The real question is why did he get a special assignment at Barrick Gold? That company was founded by an arms dealer tied to Iran Contra.

The Kelowna Hells Angels

This blog has been running for over six years now. It started because of the Surrey Six. Two innocent bystanders were executed for simply being witnesses to that gang hit. The public outrage over that heartless crime continues to this day. Then it became all about Janice Shore, Ashley Machiskinic and Bob Roth. Addicts murdered for drug debts.

The drug related violence associated with crack cocaine and crystal meth is reminiscent of the US crack epidemic in the 1980's. I was personally involved with combating that epidemic in New York City and South Seattle. That is why I support the New York Model. I was there. I saw it. I was never a cop or a narc. I was just a concerned citizen who teamed up with other concerned citizens to take back their communities from the drug dealers.

Many concerned citizens from Kelowna started contacting me sending in tips and pictures. David Giles was one person many different people kept sending in pictures of. He was so popular in that world I started to refer to him as Skelator since he was so untouchable despite the fact that Neil Hall claimed he was implicated in the Western Wind bust. The fact that no charges were ever laid in that bust despite the fact that 1 and 1/2 tons of cocaine bound for the BC Hells Angels was seized is the perfect example of police corruption at it's worst.

As we all know David Giles has been charged again. This time he hasn't made bail. At the time of his bust, he was the vice president of the Kelowna Hells Angels. Before him, Lester Jones was convicted of drug trafficking. That shows a pattern. These weren't just two people who happened to be members of the club. These were two vice presidents of the club.

Since there was so many concerned citizens in Kelowna that were upset about what was happening in their community, I started a Kelowna Corner on my web site and launched a campaign which I referred to as the Kelowna Summer Jam. It was a play on words. It sounded like another music festival but it wasn't. It was a campaign to highlight crime in Kelowna based on a line in Young Jeezy's song Soul Survivor that said if you get jammed up, don't mention my name.

Ironically enough, the OMGU decided to do an undercover sting in Kelowna at that same time which resulted in David Giles' drug bust along with the bust of a huge stolen car, boat and motorcycle ring tied to the Hells Angels. The Kelwona Hells Angels were never actually charged as a group for that stolen car ring but they were clearly implicated in it. Johnny Newcome, the one that took the fall for revinning the stolen vehicles was a Hells Angels associate. Some of the stolen vehicles in that ring were later found in possession of the Calgary and Nanaimo Hells Angels.

To be honest, that was a big shock to me. I knew about the drug trafficking but stolen cars and motorcycles? Only rats steal cars. Somewhat ironic they call people rats for reporting car thieves to the police. In reality it is the other way around. During the Kelowna Summer Jam I put up posters around Kelowna and outside the Hells Angels clubhouse.



The purpose of the posters was to highlight three murders in which the Kelowna Hells Angels were implicated - Geoff Meisner, Dain Philips and Brittney Irving. I stated reporting a murder to the police is not being a rat, failing to do so is.

We all know that Robert Thomas and Norm Cox were convicted of murdering Dain Philips. They and a group of associates swarmed him and beat him to death with baseball bats and hammers. Dain had come to a meeting to help broker a deal because Norm Cox had punched his son in the head and threatened him over a high school beef. After Dain chased Norm Cox Norm came back with Robbert Thomas and a car load of associates to jump him.

Robert Thomas used the name of the Hells Angels in that assault. He raised his baseball bat to the air and said so you want to f with the Hells Angels? Dain raised his hands in surrender and said he just wanted to talk. Robert smashed Dain in the leg with the baseball bat and Dain didn't move. After Robert hit him in the head with the baseball bat and brought him to the ground all the others jumped in and beat him to death with hammers. It was senseless and brutal.

After they were arrested Robert Thomas and Norm Cox were assaulted several times in prison. They had lost favor with the club for getting them bad press. Geoff Meisner's body has never been recovered to this day. A year after his death his wife went to court to have him declared dead so she could sell some assets to feed their kids. Castanet got a hold of the court document and discovered his wife had admitted that Geoff was a Hells Angels associate when he disappeared. With friends like those, who needs enemies.

That leaves us with the murder of Britney Irving. Joey Verma was a Hells Angels associate that was convicted in her murder. He was with a Hells Angels puppet club called the Independent Soldiers. I attended parts of the trial. Shortly before she was murdered she ran a clone show that was busted. It wasn't a grow op per say. She would take trimmings, dip them in rooting compound and start new plants. Her clone show supplied grow ops with baby plants. People claimed she was murdered because she was a rat. That was a bold faced lie. That bust put her and her brother in a desperate financial situation. She did not rat our her own clone show.

She was desperate to pay back a debt and planned a large pot deal to help her come up with some cash. Joey Verma was involved with that deal and was convicted of killing her. Some said he ripped her off. That was nonsense. The profit margin in that deal was not enough for him to pay back any debt he owed. Ripping her off for that small amount of money made no sense since they were seeing each other and he was paying for her hotel after the bust so she'd have a place to live. He was however implicated in her murder and said he had to do it and that he didn't have a choice.

He tried to get another man to take the fall for him and said he can't go to jail because he's making too much money selling drugs. He then spoke with the lawyer and told the man he was off the hook and that Joey would have to take the fall himself. After he was arrested he was still selling drugs in prison. The judge was surprised at the volume of drugs. Joey wasn't a low level dealer like I had originally thought. He began recruiting for the Kingpin Crew while in prison and got a new tattoo that said VP as in Vice President. Someone had promised him that position in the club. Shortly after that the Kingpin crew were officially disbanded.

Although the Kelowna Hells Angels were never collectively charged in any of these crimes they were most certainly implicated in them. The police have since applied to the courts to seize the Kelowna Hells Angels clubhouse under proceeds of crime legislation. For our sakes, let's hope that case does not go in front of Justice Ronald Skolrood. He has admitted to being biased against the proceeds of crime legislation. God help us. We know the courts won't.

Surrey recovery flop house

CTV reported that "Former Sikh activist Amrit Rai was arrested at Freedom for Life Recovery House on May 18 and police seized the money and heroin, adding another twist to his storied life and casting doubt among those in the recovery business about whether addicts seeking help can get it from this unregulated facility in Surrey."

Blaze was actually the one that brought this to my attentions. However it isn't right beside the Front Room like he claims where the crack dealers sell crack openly. It was at 106 Avenue off 148th Street. Just because it's a brown guy doesn't mean he wasn't getting it from the Hells Angels. We know the Dhurry Dhak group are Hells Angels rivals but we know Randy Naicker was a Hells Angels associate and that Rajinder Singh Sandhu is a full patch member in Nanaimo.

When Lenny was being threatened by Stuart Mcfarlan for testifying against Paul Dean Freeman in 87/88, he had a house full of brown guys with guns protecting him. I realize the Hells Angels aren't the only ones that sell drugs in Surrey. I just know they supply the dealers outside the Front Room which is the epicenter of drug related violence in Surrey. Tbarz was named as the hub of a Hells Angels cross border drug trafficking ring. Randy Jones' brother Trevor is still waiting to be extradited for that case.

The point of this story is unregulated recovery houses that become flop houses for drug trafficking and exploitation. Deregulation has once again promoted criminal activity.

Canadian Election Kick off

CBC is reporting that "Prime Minister Stephen Harper will call an election as early as this Sunday, kicking off what would be the longest federal election campaign in modern history, CBC News has confirmed." Obviously a long election means more money spent on advertizing.

Speaking of which, there has been a colossal change in the new world order that continues uncontested. What is with all these election adds that have aired when there is no election on? What is with that? Normally, election commercials are only run during an election. Now Harper is bombarding voters with election commercials when there is no election on. That is a huge change in policy that needs to be contested. One concern is the reporting of money spent on election campaigns. The other concern is the use of tax dollars for political propaganda.

This is indeed a pivotal election with extreme issues on the table. We have Stephen Harper's Police State in competition with Justin Trudeau's Clown State. Yet when push comes to shove the real issue on the table is civil liberty.

Stephen Harper is no Preston Manning. He is not fiscally responsible and he does not support civil liberty. Neither does Justin Trudeau. That was a huge shock. His father was the one that gave us the sacred charter of rights. Justin has stood with Stephen Harper in it's ultimate demise. That is very disappointing. Bill C-51 is illegal. The only ones that recognize that are the NDP, the Green Party and the Bloc Quebecois. Peace.



Parliament has been dissolved and the election is now set for October 19th.

NDP surges past Conservatives, Liberals in latest poll

The Toronto Star is reporting that "the New Democrats have surged to a double-digit lead in public support, gaining more distance over the other federal parties than they have at any time in the past two years, according to a new Forum Research poll."

Perhaps this is the only way to save the Charter of Rights. If the NDP screw up, replace them. It's that simple. But they can't screw up any more then the Liberals and the Neo Cons have. Right now fiscal responsibility and civil liberty are the two main issues on the table that go hand in hand. Well over 65 billion tax dollars for a bail out the banks didn't need and a billion dollar spy palace to spy on Canadians not for criminal activity but for political affiliations is not fiscally responsible.

Fentanyl linked to death of North Vancouver couple

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "the B.C. Coroners Service has confirmed the deaths of a North Vancouver couple earlier this month are linked to fentanyl... Hardy and Amelia Leighton, both in their early 30s, were found dead in their North Vancouver home on July 20." Absolutely tragic.

CBC is reporting that James McCormick, accused of being a kingpin in the Lower Mainland distribution of the drug, is set to be arraigned in Vancouver provincial court Friday.

Vancouver Homicide

Earlier this week, Kim Bolan reported that "A 20-year old shot to death in Vancouver Monday night was facing a manslaughter charge in a fatal shooting in Burnaby last September. Samir Mokhtar died on the side of the street on Seaforth Drive near Rupert Street about 9 p.m. Monday."

Slain sex trade worker's remains found in Edmonton

The Edmonton Sun is reporting that "when she vanished in 2004, Delores Dawn Brower, 33, was a small, timid woman who desperately wanted to get off Edmonton streets that were becoming increasingly deadly for city prostitutes. RCMP on Tuesday revealed that human remains found April 19 near Leduc - in a five-miles area where slain women’s bodies were turning up between 2003 and 2012 - are those of the missing woman."

CBC is reporting that "Police believe proximity of the remains of 4 people may be evidence of a serial killer." Doesn't that sound familiar. Another Dianne Rock story perhaps? A serial killer or sex trade workers killed for drug debts. Time will tell. It always does.

The Star dot com is reporting that "Since 1983, the bodies of 20 women have been found in the Edmonton area." Let's also remember Shannon Collins who was murdered in Edmonton. Her sister was told she was leaving for Calgary to work for the Hells Angels but never showed up. However, since she was living what police described as a high risk lifestyle, it appears she had already been working for "someone" in Edmonton. Georgina Papin was also originally from Edmonton. Her DNA ended up on the Pickton farm.

Update: the Edmonton Journal is reporting that convicted murderer Thomas Svekla was a suspect in the disappearances of two women whose remains were recently found. Ironically, a blog reader had also just mentioned the possible connection. Yet we know Robert Pickton did not act alone.

Canadian Armed Forces Commander facing sex charges

The Edmonton Journal is reporting that "a decorated Afghanistan war veteran and Edmonton infantry battalion commander is facing numerous sex-related charges for offences involving a teenage boy that allegedly occurred while the officer was a mentor with a local army cadet corps."

These are unproven allegations of course yet they are indeed serious allegations. So we have Catholic Priests, Protestant Ministers, Hockey Coaches, Football Coaches, Boy Scout Leaders and now Armed Forces Commanders. Rape is a heinous crime. Predators come in many forms.

Shooting in Fort Mcmurray

The Edmonton Sun is reporting that a man is in life-threatening condition after being shot on the outskirts of Fort McMurray on Friday. It was in the area where the Syndicate have their clubhouse in a Beacon Hill subdivision.
