Another shooting outside Williams Lake

The William's Lake Tribune is reporting that a home was the scene of a targeted shooting just outside Williams Lake in Wildwood. Staff Sgt. Del Byron stated "This shooting relates to the ongoing gang conflict in our area, specifically between the Indian Outlaws and the 712s."

Outlaw murder in Saskatoon

CBC is reporting that Ontario biker charged with second degree murder in Saskatoon killing. John Glen MacAulay, 46, has been charged in the death of Norman Playter in 2014. In 2012 Canoe News reported that Norman Playter, 44, of Calgary was involved with a cocaine bust in Calgary tied to the Outlaws motorcycle gang. Yet CBC posted a picture from facebook of John MacAulay wearing an Outlaws vest and sneakers. So an Outlaw killed an Outlaw. Police say they knew each other and were members of the same gang. No L&R there.

Bill Fordy is still out to lunch

This is an old one I missed. On January 5th Kim Bolan reported that just before 8:00 PM on the Monday night a concerned concerned citizen in Surrey confronted people in a suspicious vehicle parked in his neighbourhood. The occupants of the parked vehicle fled the area after firing several shots at the citizen’s vehicle. The concerned citizen followed them into Del.ta until the suspects lost control of their vehicle and drove into a pole on River Road. Surrey What?!

“Three male suspects, who are well known to police, were taken into custody and then to hospital. Two have been cleared and returned to Surrey cell block and one remains in hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A firearm was also located at the scene of the crash. One of the men arrested, Surrey resident Cory Lee Myers, 25, was wanted on a warrants for breaches of probation conditions as well as for a break and enter."

So what do the Surrey RCMP do? Give the concerned citizen a commendation? Nope. They threaten to arrest him. I kid you not. This is the epitome of everything that's wrong with Surrey. Bill Fordy isn't corrupt. He's just a flaming idiot. The fact that he is still the chief of police in Surrey is proof his superiors are corrupt. Why else would they keep such an idiot in charge so nothing gets done? Instead of arresting a hero maybe they should be arresting the drug dealers outside the Front Room. Instead they just kick the cat and put up fences to contain all the addicts. That is not the New York model. That is a gong show that results in the public suffering for their negligence.

Police seize $1.4 million from the Alkhalils

The National Post is reporting that "Police pressure on a self-made crime group built by five gangster brothers continued as authorities seized real estate housing a restaurant in Ontario and a nightclub in Quebec from the Alkhalil organization, claiming the buildings are the proceeds of crime." This is not a self made crime group. These are Hells Angels associates

Rabih Alkhalil was charged with cocaine trafficking along with Larry Amero in Montreal. Rabih Alkhalil is from Surrey and was in court for the murder of Johnnie Raposo in Toronto. Rabih Alkhalil is a suspect in the Sheraton Wall Centre shooting in Vancouver where Sandip Duhre was shot dead January 2013. They shot a Hells Angels rival. Police sources say that Alkhalil was the mastermind behind the Duhre murder, while Wiwchar was the suspected hitman.

Larry Amero attended Nabil Alkhalil's wedding in Ottawa with Jonathon Bacon before they were shot in Kelowna. The Alkhalils have been Hells Angels associates since day one. Another one of the brothers, Mahmoud Alkhalil, was shot dead in the Loft Six shooting back in August 2003. The Loft Six shooting was an attack on Hells Angels associates in Vancouver.

Legal Opinion in Entrapment Case Released

The legal opinion in the John Nuttall entrapment case has been released. The Vancouver Province is reporting that "Late in an undercover RCMP operation, a senior prosecutor advised police to stop paying money to a Surrey couple who have been convicted in the B.C. legislature terrorism case."

A memo written by lead prosecutor Martha Devlin stated “Due to the unique circumstances of the target (no money, no friends, on welfare, somewhat vulnerable), without the assistance of the RCMP, he cannot do a thing." Exactly. Without their help, this crime could NEVER have been committed. She then states “I’d recommend that the police not give the target money ...”

Notice the term target not suspect. This is not a suspect in a crime. It is a mark in a con they targeted. The Vancouver Province goes on to report that "After getting Devlin’s legal advice, police stopped the payments, but although the undercover police stopped giving the couple cash, they continued to pay for groceries, cigarettes and coffee." Then there was the persistent threat: "Mr Big has spent a lot of money on you. You better come up with a plan."

A handwritten note about the case from Devlin had the words “high as a kite” circled on the top of the note. No kidding. That's exactly what we said. In some of the videos of the suspect it was obvious he was high on drugs just talking nonsense. Martha Devlin is very credible. To hear she has been apointed to the bench is a breath of fresh air. Quite a relief from a raging lunatic like Peter Leask. I'm still hearing stories of that clown's idiocy.

This legal opinion ties in with the Overview of the John Nuttall Entrapment case.

Overview of the John Nuttall Entrapment case - Update

While we wait for CSIS to comply with the court order cough, scoff, rolly eyes.... I thought it would be prudent to review the entrapment case that involved John Nuttall. Bill Tieleman made reference to the RCMP terrorist quotas. He also made reference to a disturbing trend in the United States.

Bill Tieleman reported that “James Cromitie (was) a low-level ex-drug dealer who converted to Islam. A well-paid FBI informant befriended the Walmart worker and promised him $250,000 and a new BMW car to fire Stinger surface-to-air missiles at U.S. military planes and plant bombs at Jewish targets in New York.” Why would they do that?

This goes well beyond entrapment. I bet ya he didn’t make the Stinger surface-to-air missiles himself. Someone provided him with it which, as Bill Tieleman observes, facilitated the attack. He points out that “questioning RCMP actions is not to condone illegal activity.” Nobody thinks terrorism is OK. Yet questioning how CSIS or the FBI set people up is a real concern.

Every crime requires a means and a motive. If the police provided one or both of those, then that's entrapment. For example, if an under cover police officer walks by a drug dealer standing outside the Front Room in Surrey or outside the Carnegie Centre in the DTES and the drug dealers tries to sell them drugs, then that is a fair bust. We wish they would. However, if a police agents finds someone who wasn't a drug dealer and offers them money or threatens to harm their family if they don't sell drugs then that is entrapment.

In the James Cromitie case the FBI promised to give the former drug dealer $250,000 and a new BMW to fire Stinger surface-to-air missiles at U.S. military planes and plant bombs at Jewish targets in New York. That was the motive. Before the well paid FBI informant befriended the Walmart worker, he had no motive or even the notion to commit such a heinous act. He didn't have the means either. The FBI gave him the Stinger surface-to-air missiles and the bombs to plant at Jewish targets. In that case there was no means or motive without the FBI. That is entrapment. Offering to give a drug addict a new car and pay him $250,000 to perform a criminal act hasn't saved the world from a terrorist. It just created one.

Likewise in this case, a CSIS informant befriended the Surrey drug addict. They started buying him food for which he was very grateful. Then they started giving him cash. How much cash we are not told. We aren't told if they gave him drugs but everyone knows if you give a drug addict cash, they are going to buy drugs with it. If you stop giving them cash they are going to be desperate for cash to buy more drugs.

I doubt the CSIS informant promised to pay John Nuttall $250,000 and a new BMW. However, they did provide a more sinister motive. They threatened his life and the life of his family if he did not cooperate with them. That was the motive. After they had given them all that money and groceries, they revealed that Mr Big wasn't a religious friend who wanted to help them out of the goodness of his heart. Mr Big turned out to be a crazed terrorist who wanted to plant a bomb and kill people. When John and Amanda found that out, they were legitimately afraid for their life.

In the Crown's own evidence, one of the wiretaps heard John scold Amanda who said do what he says. This guy can go from being Mr Nice to a Monster really fast. John and Amanda lived in a basement suite with John's 80 year old Caucasian Christian grandmother. The CSIS informant had to get him away from his grandmother to coerce him into committing a criminal act. The first time they took them to a hotel John and Amanda played video games the whole time. That is when the sh*t hit the fan. One of the police agents said we have to call this thing off. These two couldn't plan a bag lunch. Yet they proceeded nonetheless and turned up the pressure.

While driving them around the CSIS agent said Mr Big has spent a lot of money on you. He's not going to be very happy with your lack of progress. He wants you to help him plan an attack. You need to come up with some ideas. First they suggested a military target. Then the informant said no we need to find an event where there's lots of people gathered. Amanda says there's lots of people at firework displays. That's it the informant said. Mr Big wants you to do that one. The CSIS informant threatened them to come up with ideas, then told them which idea that Mr Big wanted them to do. The CSIS informant was the one that told them to plant a bomb at the Victoria fireworks display. That was the only motive. They were legitimately afraid Mr Big was going to kill them if they didn't do what they were told. That is why the 80 year old grandmother moved out of the basement suite right before the arrest. She was afraid someone was trying to kill them.

In the Crown's own evidence John said he did not want to kill civilians and that the thought of killing innocent people made him sick. John was never radicalized. He was set up and conned.

The CSIS informant drove them around shopping for bomb parts that Mr Big told them to buy with money they gave him. The CSIS informant had to drive them around because the marks didn't have a car and couldn't afford bus fare to go shopping. From day one when the police had the brand new pressure cookers on display it was obvious someone else bought those for them because they didn't have enough money for food let alone pressure cookers or bomb parts. Not only that but they did not have the knowledge how to make a bomb out of the parts they were instructed to buy.

The second time they took them to a hotel John was stressed. They didn't play video games this time. This time John thought Mr Big was going to kill them so he was frantically trying to make a bomb out of the parts. Yet he was unable to do so. He had to be kept reminded to stay on task because he was high on drugs. They gave him gun powder to make it explode but he had no idea how to ignite it. Then they finally gave him some C-4 to put in it. There is no way a Surrey drug addict is going to have access to gunpowder let alone C-4 unless the police give it to him. That was the means. Without the CSIS informant John and Amanda did not have the means or the motive to commit this heinous crime. That is entrapment pure and simple.

The legal opinion has been released.

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.
