CSIS Censoring the Press - Update

Well this is strange. The Freedom of the Press is sacred. It's protected by the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights. Yet all we have to do is ask Dan Rather whether or not the press is still free. Yesterday we were talking about the news reports about the judge's decision to release the transcript of Monday's in camera hearing in the John Nuttall entrapment case. The judge said they would release the transcripts with the names of the CSIS agents omitted.

Fair enough. No one needs to know the names of the CSIS agents. We just need to know what they said and did with our tax dollars. I suppose the indirect revelation was that CSIS was involved not just the RCMP. Initially we were told that CSIS tipped off the RCMP. Now we find out there was a little more to it then that. Which would explain why they ignored their own legal counsel and proceeded unilaterally knowing they were guilty of entrapment.

The headline in the Vancouver Sun article was even more specific. It read: CSIS loses bid to keep closed-door hearing a secret in B.C. terror trial. The CTV headline was the same. Likewise so was the headline in the Times Colonist. Only none of those articles are there any more. I realize that in time news articles expire but this is recent news. It's as though *someone* is running around censoring the press. The Winnipeg Free Press just picked up the article and it's still there. For now. The Globe and Mail article is still there. As is the City News article.

All of these news articles state "Canada’s spy agency has failed in its bid to keep part of a court hearing secret." They state that CSIS lost their bid to keep it secret not the RCMP. That would imply that CSIS was running the operation not the RCMP as we were previously told. Even the Vancouver Province article I linked to yesterday is gone.

The point is, the Globe and Mail reported that a lawyer representing six media outlets, including The Globe and Mail, last week applied to B.C. Supreme Court for details about a closed-door hearing in the case of John Nuttall and Amanda Korody. We should applaud the media for making this application. Protecting the freedom of the press takes effort.

CSIS ordered to produce records in terror plot trial

CBC is reporting on the content of the transcript: Following several redacted pages, Sandford said: "Mr. Nuttall advises that [X] strongly encouraged him on many occasions to engage in violent terrorist acts and played a significant role in Mr. Nuttall's radicalization."

"A B.C. Supreme Court judge has ordered CSIS to produce records provided to the spy agency in relation to a couple who plotted to bomb the B.C. legislature. The evidence forming part of the trial record gives rise to an inference that there may well have been a connection between [X] and CSIS. It was CSIS surveillance that led to the RCMP investigation."

Update: Turns out CSIS did censor the press but they didn't censor my blog. That old blog post I linked to in my previous post is still there. When I linked to it, the http didn't show up and instead of not loading it showed the same error as though the page had been taken down. My bad. However, the news articles are still offline. I understand that CSIS had the news articles taken down because they said there was a human source for CSIS. The court said person X was a source not a human source. I don't even know what that means.

CSIS was involved with Nuttall Entrapment Case

The Vancouver Province is reporting that the judge granted the media's application to see the transcript of what went on in Monday's in camera court session where they kicked the public out. Nobody wants to know the names of the CSIS agents but everyone needs to know what they did especially after Air India.

So once again, this is just the transcript from Monday's closed door session. We are still waiting for the release of the legal opinion the RCMP received during their entrapment of two Surrey drug addicts in a ridiculous plot they were incapable of carrying out. It comes as no surprise to discover that CSIS was involved. Again. We still need to charge CSIS with murder for providing the explosives for the Air India bombing. It's somewhat bizarre those charges have not yet been laid.

Sadly, CSIS will not obey this court order. Instead they will destroy any incriminating evidence again. On June 21, 1984, CSIS was created by an Act of Parliament. On 22 June 1985 CSIS successfully orchestrated it's first terrorist attack. They are the ones that provided the explosives. They had a handler that helped plan the attack. Ted Finn was Director when 156 wiretaps related to the Air India bombing were erased. Right after the bombing they erased all the wire taps of their handler that implicated them.In 1989 CSIS founded the Heritage Front through Grant Bristow.

Now CSIS "loses" a billion dollars from their budget every year. That's not how much they use, that's how much they lose. That's the money they can't account for. If you or I stole a billion dollars every year, we'd go to jail. Consequently the real enemy is the enemy from within.

Shots fired into Newton home

The Surrey Leader is reporting that Police are investigating after bullets were fired into a Newton home just after midnight on Monday. Shell casings were found on the road and bullet holes were identified in the home. No one at home was hurt.

Don't Blaze and Drive

Tragically, the Huffington Post is reporting that RCMP in Mission, BC believe marijuana was a factor in a deadly crash that killed an Abbotsford man Saturday morning.

This brings us back to the Brave New world cult that thinks soma is good for you. Soma cures cancer. I realize that chronic pot smokers (also known as stoners) build up a resistance to the high grade pot we grow and sell here in BC. Many think they are fine to drive under the influence and people who disagree with them are stupid. I disagree. Blazing while you drive or driving under the influence of pot is utter irresponsibility.

Oath Keepers message for Ammon Bundy

CNN is reporting that Armed anti-government protesters have taken over a building in a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, accusing officials of unfairly punishing ranchers who refused to sell their land. One of them is Ammon Bundy, the 40-year-old son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who is well-known for anti-government action. He spoke by phone to CNN on Sunday. Asked several times what he and those with him want, he answered in vague terms, saying that they want the federal government to restore the "people's constitutional rights."

I have in the past spoken about the Oath Keepers with great respect and admiration. That group was founded in 2004 by Stewart Rhodes, a former U.S. Army paratrooper and a Yale Law School graduate who once worked for Congressman Ron Paul to protect the U.S. Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. They call themselves oath keepers because they believe in keeping the oath US civil servants make to protect the Constitution which most have broken.

Some of their supporters have championed a specific cause related on the right of ranchers to have their cattle graze on public land. Now I am somewhat familiar with civil liberty and the sacred principles in the US Constitution and Bill of Rights which is very similar to the Canadian Charter of Rights. Free speech, lawful assembly, the freedom from unnecessary searches and seizures, the need to be charged with a criminal offense before being arrested. The right to a lawyer and a speedy fair trial. These are all sacred rights in any democratic society. Canadians visiting the United States are denied these fundamental rights because they are not American citizens. That is an abomination. I'm left scratching my head over the obsession with the right of farmers to have their cattle graze on federal land.

My message for the protesters in Oregon is what the f*ck are you doing? We have serious breaches of civil liberty and the Constitution everywhere and you have completely lost that focus by being completely distracted by cattle grazing on public land. Who cares? Denying people the right to a lawyer and a fair trial while they are tortured in black prison sites is a colossal concern. Comparing that with cattle grazing on federal land is an absurd tangent.

Stewart Rhodes has posted his proposed exit strategy for the protesters in Oregon and it sounds like it was written by George Washington himself. He states that although he personally has immense respect for Ammon Bundy he opposes what Ammon chose to do by occupying the wildlife preserve in Oregon, specifically because it is not being done with the consent of the locals or at their request.

Stewart Rhodes states "I propose that you return to and adhere to your own stated principles of respecting the right of the people of Harney County to self-determination, self-government, and their right to stand up, on their own two feet, with our support and protection. Therefore, you need to submit yourself to the authority of the Committee of Safety and the people of Harney County at large, and let them know, in no uncertain terms, that they are now in charge, and you will comply with whatever they decide must be done, whether you agree with it or not. So throw your sword at the people’s feet, and pledge and swear that you will abide by their decision, whatever it is, and defend them in doing whatever they decide is best, so long as it is ethical, moral, and constitutional. But it must be their decision, not yours. That is the honorable, ethical, moral, and constitutional way to go. That is an honorable exit plan." Indeed it is. Peace.

Bacchus in Ontario

Bacchus' gay pride parade seems to be well received in Ontario. This news article claims there are 30 members in Hamilton now but I can assure you they are not independent. Bacchus was an older club from New Brunswick. They were always Hells Angels ass kissers but as soon as they started expanding into Halifax and Fort McMurray they assumed the Darksiders position and became full on drug dealing puppets. It was around the same time the Hells Angels gave them permission to put 1%er on their ridiculous patch.



Derreck Dean Huggan was a member of Bacchus in New Brunswick. Huggan ran the Route 81 shop in Charlottetown, PEI. Route 81 was obviously a Hells Angels support shop. Back in 2000 Derek Dean Huggan was caught with $85 thousand worth of crack cocaine, marijuana, and hashish as well as a loaded handgun. In 2007 Derreck Dean Huggan was described as a drug kingpin and was sentenced to 6 1/2 years for conspiracy to traffic in cocaine. David Bishop was a member of Bacchus convicted of trafficking drugs in the Halifax prison.

The list of drug trafficking convictions tied to Bacchus is extensive so it's surprising the HAs haven't traded them in for a new name before they get criminal org status as well. What's even more surprising is the historical origin of their name and patch.

Sergius and Bacchus were Roman soldiers who were openly gay and secretly Christan. Members of Bacchus deny that is where they get their name from claiming their Bacchus was the god of wine. However, their logo is of a Roman soldier not a Greek god. They've kept the original drawing which looks like it's wearing a condone on it's nose.



Originally Bacchus in New Brunswick had some respect of the locals. Until they started their own finger puppet club of losers on sports bikes who's claim to fame was threatening a couple of senior citizens on Harleys for wearing a Christian patch at a local Tim Hortons. I kid you not. Things went down hill from there and the number of clowns and idiots they have recruited is staggering.

The Hells Angels have never been able to make a solid foothold in Ontario like they have in Quebec and BC. Partly it's because of rivals but mostly it's because of recruiting idiots. The Ontario Hells Angels were the ones that shot one of their own guys in Manitoba so they could take over the drug trade there and started another gang war in Winnipeg.

There are basically two groups in the 1%er world. Those that are affiliated with the Hells Angels and those that are affiliated with the Outlaws. The Rock Machine are independent as are the Banditios but both are friends with the Outlaws so to speak. The only two HAs in Ontario that had any credibility are Paul ‘Sasquatch’ Porter and Dominico Esposito.

Both crossed over from the Rock Machine after the Bandidio massacre. Paul may well have been huge but he took the fall when his girlfriend was caught with a small amount of cocaine. HAs never do that. They always get someone else to take the fall for them. However, the Hells Angels leading a stolen car ring in Ottawa is reminiscent of Kelowna trash. The number of drug convictions tied to the Ontario Hells Angels is staggering.

Disclaimer: Obviously the Catholic Church takes great offense to the reference of Sergius and Bacchus as the Patron Saints of homosexuality and passionately deny that they were gay. Wikipedia contains the official version as well as the rumor. The point is, I'm not the one that made up the rumor. People from back east sent me the links about them being gay. This article claims the oldest record of their martyrdom describes them as erastai (Greek for “lovers”). There's even a fictional novel called The Passion of Sergius and Bacchus. Whether or not they were actually gay matters not to me. The point is when people back east hear that name, that's what comes to mind. It is what it is soulja.

El Chapo arrested again

The New York Times is reporting that "Nearly six months after his escape from a maximum-security prison in Mexico, the drug kingpin Joaquín Guzmán Loera, also known as El Chapo, has been arrested by the Mexican authorities, President Enrique Peña Nieto announced Friday."

Personally I think the whole thing is a bullsh*t scam. The ATF were selling the sinola cartel guns and bringing back tons of cocaine as payment in Operation Fast and Furious. When are they going to be arrested? Obama used executive privileged to prevent those involved from being arrested just like Nixon tried to do in Watergate. Obama should be arrested for aiding and abetting that crime.

More drugs in rural BC

Penticton Western News is reporting that "A Midway man is in police custody after fleeing on foot from a traffic stop Wednesday afternoon. Shortly after 2 p.m. on Jan. 6 a Kelowna RCMP officer conducted a traffic stop with a black Mercedes SUV in the 2300 block of Hunter Road. The driver of the Mercedes was found to be in breach of his court-ordered, 24-hour curfew related to a conditional sentence order."

The suspect grabbed a duffle bag and fled on foot. After he was apprehended the police found a small quantity of cocaine, heroin and crystal meth packaged for resale, a .22 hand gun and break in tools. Midway is in southern BC near the US border outside Osoyoos.

Gang war in Williams Lake

Today's Vancouver Province was fairly dramatic. The headline read: A town's cry for help: Williams Lake leaders seek resources to deal with deadly street gang war. Last Sunday we reported a possible shooting in Williams Lake the night before. Turns out it was a gang related murder. Williams Lake has one murder in retaliation for a murder a year before that and the mayor makes a public plea for help to deal with their gang war.

Turns out there appears to be a gang war between two Native gangs in Williams Lake. Well I can tell you the obvious. One group is with the Hells Angels and the other group doesn't want to be. Here in BC, it's that simple. In Calgary the Hells Angels were behind that gang war too. The FOB were supplied drugs by the Hells Angels while the FK were supplied drugs by the UN. Red Alert is a First Nations gang that sells drugs for the Hells Angels. It has absolutely nothing to do with honour. It's just about drug trafficking. Who do you think supplies the Crips in Montreal? The Hells Angles do through their pal Greg Wooley. As Chris Tucker said "Follow the rich white man."

Three shootings in Chilliwack

The Chilliwack Times is reporting that there were three shootings at houses recently with no injuries reported. "The first incident was a report at 7 a.m. on Dec. 24 that a shotgun was fired at a residence in the 9900 block of Quarry Road. A similar report was made on Dec. 26 when between 1 and 3 a.m. a suspect yelled as a shotgun was fired at a house in the 9400 block of Hazel Street. Then on Jan. 2 at approximately 7 a.m. a 911 call was made to police that a shotgun had been fired at a house in the 45000 block of Rowat Avenue. Police believe the incidents are linked and were targeted events."
