Man connected to organized crime killed by sniper

The Toronto Sun is reporting that A sniper shot a 37-year-old murder victim - once dubbed “Mr. Big” when he was nabbed in a major drug bust - from nearly 200 metres away.

The Toronto Star reported that “This is a shot that was made at a considerable distance – at night, in the dark, it was windy, and Clinton was on the move when he was shot,” Bui said. “I believe that this person has some considerable skill or some training.”

CBC reported that Bui said the rifle used in the shooting has "a strong connection to Montreal," although he didn't specify exactly what that connection entailed.

Clinton was found fatally shot on a driveway in Scarborough, Ontario on Sept. 30, 2015.

Nicolo Rizzuto was shot in his home by a sniper November 10, 2010.

Ontario Hells Angel shot in Quebec - Update

CTV is reporting that "A 41-year-old member of the Hells Angels is in serious but stable condition after being shot in the back while he was riding his motorcycle in Lachute. The man was riding in Bethany Rd. about 10:30 a.m. when multiple gun shots were heard, the Surete du Quebec confirms." CTV is reporting that the victim is a member of the Ontario Nomads Hells Angels.

Update: As a reader has pointed out the Montreal Gazette is reporting that a police source has confirmed the victim is Philippe Boudreau, the vice-president of the Ontario Nomads. This guy must be from Quebec. He's not some clown with shorts, sneakers and a full faced helmet. He's the real deal. Sh*ts gonna get real.



The Montreal Journal reported that Martin Bernatchez is the successor to Paul "Sasquatch" Porter at the head of the Ontario Hells Nomads chapter. Paul was RM but crossed over with other founding members when Mom Boucher went to prison.

The Root of the Conflict:

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to do the math and figure out a likely motive for the shooting and see the root of the new conflict. The Montreal Gazette is reporting that the Ontario Hells Angels are teaming up with the Rizzutos and are planning a comeback in Quebec after that massive police bust in SharQ. The thing is when Vito was in prison the Ontario Hells Angels teamed up with the Calabrians out of Hamilton who were at war with the Rizzutos. Now all of a sudden they've switched sides again. That's gotta upset their former business partners. Philippe Boudreau may well have been from Sudbury but the bottom rocker on the crest in the picture of him at the funeral said Hamilton. That was the base of the Calabrian resistance in Montreal.

I guess that's my primary beef. The Quebec Biker War had nothing to do with riding motorcycles. It was a war over a monopoly on the drug trade and when push comes to shove, L&R has absolutely nothing to do with it. It's all about making money. Allegiances change if there's more money to be made. For example, the Ontario Hells Angels haven't been known for their loyalty.

It was the Ontario Hells Angels that killed Bekim Zeneli from LHS because the Ontario Hells Angels wanted the Thompson drug trade and didn't want LHS and the Winnipeg HAs to get it. After they killed his friend they told Billy Bowden to suck it up or he'll be next. That's what started another drug war in Winnipeg and brought the Rock Machine back. Although it's clearly a new group since Vito helped broker a ceasefire between the HAs and the RM in Quebec. All the founding members of the Rock Machine joined the HAs.

Greg Wooley was supplying all the Crips in Montreal with drugs. That big meeting happened when he tried to convince the Bloods to sell drugs for the Hells Angels too. The leader of the Bo Gars as in Beau Garcons slapped him in the face and told him to f off. Shortly after that the HAs had him killed. Consequently there is no love for the HAs among the Bloods in Montreal. It will be interesting to see if the Bo Gars team up with the Calabrians and carve out their own territory independent of the HAs and Rizzutos. Time will tell. It always does.

Billy Ly makes bail

The Vancouver Province is reporting that Billy Ly has been released on bail. Maybe it's just as well Clin Clung takes the fall for Jonathan Bacon's murder. After all he did tell everyone he did it. Perhaps this is his way of doing something useful with his life and atoning for throwing his fiancee out of a moving vehicle. Jonathan Bacon got what he had coming. He knew the details about the Surrey six murder because he was involved in the conspiracy to tax Cory Lal for you know who.

Disclaimer. I had the two different Billies mixed up previously. My bad.

CSIS Application Abandoned

The Vancouver Province is reporting that lawyers in the Surrey Pressure Cooker Entrapment case have abandoned an application they filed seeking further disclosure of documents from CSIS.

As we recall, the entrapment case was suspended indefinitely after CSIS refused to discuss their involvement in the plot. So now the entrapment application can proceed since CSIS is refusing to comply with court orders again. There was no need for further evidence to prove entrapment. There has never been a more clear case of entrapment in the history of the earth. There was no means or motive to commit the bogus crime without police agents or more accurately CSIS's help. However, refusal to provide crucial documents is in itself grounds for the case to be thrown out and the targets released.They weren't suspects in a plot, they were targets in a scam.

Right now CSIS has zero public accountability over how it burns tax dollars at an irresponsible rate in the wrong direction. They are wasting massive amounts of tax dollars trying to bribe and in this case threaten and extort drug addicts into committing acts of terrorism. Clearly CSIS is on the wrong side. They are the ones that provided the explosives for the Air India attack and still haven't been charged in that heinous murder.

In January the legal opinion the police were given while targeting the vulnerable couple in this entrapment case was finally released. All Star Crown prosecutor Martha Devlin who has since been appointed to the bench advised the police that they should stop paying the drug addicts money to coerce them into proceeding with the fake plot. What happens when you give drug addicts money then stop giving them money? What do you think the drug addicts bought with that money you gave them? The "police" agents stopped giving the drug addicts money but continued to threaten and extort them by saying you have to come up with a plot. Mr. Big has spent a lot of money on you. He won't be happy with your lack of progress.

John and Amanda were never radicalized. They were conned. They were befriended by a CSIS agent who gave them food. In gratitude they started attending his Mosque. Then the CSIS agent started having them deliver envelopes for him and paid them cash for doing so. After building a relationship of trust with them they finally realized this was not a nice religious person helping them out of the goodness of his heart.

After giving them food and money he told them he represented a terrorist organization and his employer, Mr. Big, the one donating all the money wants to commit a terrorist attack in Canada. They were extorted with threats of violence to them and their family if they did not help him. That is why John's elderly grandmother moved out of the basement suite right before the arrest. They thought a crazed terrorist was going to kill them if they didn't help them. That was the only motive they had. They were never radicalized. In the crown's own evidence John said the thought of killing civilians made him sick. CSIS makes me sick. They are the real terrorists.

BC Hydro borrows more money to pay dividend

BC Hydro is the biggest neocon there is. It is a taxpayer fraud of epic proportions. The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "BC Hydro is borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars to meet the provincial government’s demands for an annual dividend. The Crown power corporation owes around $852 million to the government over the next three fiscal years in mandatory annual dividend payments. But it doesn’t have the cash, and so it will have to borrow the funds, said Energy Minister Bill Bennett. The contentious practice sees the monopoly energy company borrow money — which ratepayers will have to pay back in the future — so that it can meet government’s annual demand for a share of its profits. Bennett has admitted the practice is unsustainable, and will begin to be reduced by $100 million a year in 2018 until it is eliminated."

Remember Christy Clark's fudge it budget? She said she was going to balance the budget by extracting a dividend from BC Hydro. We knew that was a joke because BC Hydro has a ballooning debt it keeps deferring each year. If they hadn't privatized the power brokers they could have done this but now that they expropriated those public profits and handed them over to private profiteers, there is no more money to extract a dividend from. So here we see the magic of Christy Clark's fudge it budget. We are going to extract a dividend from BC Hydro who doesn't have one so we are going to lend BC Hydro the money to pay us the dividend. If it wasn't so criminal it would be laughable. Yet they keep doing it each year and no one says anything.

The root of the problem at BC Hydro is simple. Gordon Campbell privatized the power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates so his friends could exploit the public. This has created a massive ballooning debt that grows exponentially every year. It is the same kind of fraud that created the Greek financial crisis. What was once public money became private then disappeared. To make matters worse, Christy Clark appointed Jessica McDonald who was Gordon Campbell's former deputy minister to become CEO of BC Hydro. The scam continues so it does and tax payers keep getting ripped off in a very big way.

City of Surrey kicks the cat

The Vancouver Province is reporting that the City of Surrey has banned amunition and hand guns at this weekend’s B.C. Rod and Gun Show at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. Which means that Dennis Robinson of the Thunderbird Fast Draw Club isn't allowed to demonstrate his quick draw sport even though he uses wax bullets. That is insane.

This guy does not look like a gang member. Gang members don't use wax bullets. Here we have a municipal government overriding federal law regarding firearms. Gang members don't use registered firearms to shoot other gang members. They use throw aways which are readily available on the black market. Disarming law biding citizens while they enable gang members is a crime in itself. Ammunition is readily available at any gun store. You need to produce your PAL to purchase ammunition.

Shawn Storey from Surrey wrote into the Vancouver Province and asked "A rod-and-gun show with no live ammunition? What’s next? A hockey team that can’t use sticks?"

Steve Gunson from Abbotsford said "Wow, talk about targeting the wrong people. A person cannot even possess a firearm or purchase ammunition without a federal firearm license. Otherwise, it is a criminal offence. This ban is nothing but a smoke-and-mirrors parlour trick. Surrey council is trying to give the appearance of doing something about the illegal drug trade and gangs shootings. Politicians are fooling and failing the public yet again."

The real problem is Bill Fordy and Linda Hepner.

Stepping into the Twilight Zone Gary Tupper from New Westminster wrote into the paper claiming the government should suspend the Charter of Rights and send in the army to police Surrey. That is insane. Has he never crossed the bridge and visited Surrey? We live here. The Vancouver Gang War peaking in 2009 when the Bacon brothers and the Un were shooting each other after the surrey Six. Overall things and calmed down considerably. Now it's just a handful of residual yahoos fighting over the table scraps. We don't suspend civl liberty for ANY reason. Period. We need to arrest the crack dealers that sell crack in public. Failing to do that is sheer irresponsibility.



Giving the police 24 access to traffic cams is a bit Bourne Supremacy but given the circumstances it is a step in the right direction to help identify suspects in drive by shootings. Arrest the criminals not the law abiding citizens. It's better the police has access to the traffic cams than CSIS.

Rising above hate and intolerance

Martin Luther King was a great man who rose about hate and intolerance. Like the founding fathers of the Irish Proclamation, he put the dream on paper and sealed that dream with his own blood. One of my favorite quotes from Martin Luther King is "I've seen too much hate to want to hate and every time I see it I say to my self hate is too great a burden to bear." Indeed it is.

Recently when we were discussing the mainstream media a reader cited a bizarre story that they felt was pulled by the mainstream media to censor it from the public. Turns out it was pulled because it was false. Islamophobia is something the mainstream media posts freely. Even when it doesn't make sense like in this recent case which was alleged to have involved some school children in eastern Canada. Islamophobia is bad enough. Don't bring innocent children into it.

They say the first casualty of war is the truth. In addition to planning false flag attacks the intelligence community is actively involved in public disinformation campaigns all over the Internet. MI 6 even sent out false press releases to the media lying abut Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction to sell the invasion of Iraq to the public. The British Weapons inspector who blew the whistle on the false campaign ended up dead of yet another suspicious suicide.

When the Intelligence community bombards the press with Islamophobia, that is no different than Hitler's anti Semitism. It is our moral duty to oppose hate and intolerance. Canada used to be known for its Peacekeeping. Harper killed that tradition by bring us into the oil wars and the desecration and assassination of Moammar Gadhafi. In contrast, Lester Pearson won a Noble Peace prize for his peace keeping efforts. Let's hope Justin Trudeau returns us to that proud era without bankrupting us with irresponsible debt.

Ireland is known for it's Catholic / Protestant conflict. It's really about being part of England or being separate from England but religion has worked it's way into the conflict because most of the Protestants in Northern Ireland were planted there by the British many generations previous. Consequently, many see it as a religious conflict when it's really not. The Irish Proclamation that came from the Easter rising in 1916, guaranteed religious freedom.

The Irish Proclamation declares: "The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien Government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past."

I'll tell you a couple of true stories about Syrian refugees in western Canada that I know are true because I saw them myself. Several weeks ago I was at the mall and saw a group of Muslim woman outside wearing hijabs all hovering around someone wearing a Red Cross vest. The first thing that came to mind was concern that someone had thrown a bottle at them and the red cross worker was administering first aid. I walked over to make sure everything was OK.

When I got close I saw the Red cross worker wasn't administering first aid, they were explaining something to them in arabic. There was a caucasian woman with them also wearing a Red cross vest and I asked her if the group was lost and needed directions. She said no, the other volunteer is explaining how the bus system works. I see I said. Where are they from? Syria she answered.

My eyes lit up, my hands raised in the air and in a loud voice I said Ah, Welcome! One of the ladies was holding a little boy on her hip. A soon as I said welcome the little boy and all the woman instantly repeated what I said in a loud voice and said Welcome! It was probably one of the first english words that little boy had ever learned. He was adorable.

A few days later a Syrian family moved in right next door. Their kids are absolutely adorable. There's two little boys and two little girls. At first they were a bit shy but I would smile and wave and they would smile and wave back over and over again. When my daughter would see them they would peek over the fence with big smiles and say Hi! over and over again. She was thrilled. It's wonderful to see young children having fun playing like all children should. How on earth can anyone hate on these adorable young children?

A couple weeks ago I was snowshoeing on Seymour and there were several buses on the mountain with numerous families. I asked where they were from and one of the workers said they are Syrian Refugees. Awesome I said. Makes you proud to be from Vancouver. One of the mothers crouched down beside her son and picked up some snow in her had for your young child to feel. He was feeling snow for the first time. A very young child. It was wonderful to see.

The Syrian refugees have endured great hardships. We should go out of our way to make them feel welcome. If you hate on young children, what do you think that will teach them? One of my coworkers is from Belfast. He came to Canada when he was very young and vaguely remembers throwing rocks at the British army. Now he has no animosity towards the British at all.

Another coworker married an Irish girl. One of her family members met another Irish family on the bus who kept inquiring exactly where they were from as in which side of the street they lived on and what their political affiliation was. They kept dodging the question but the other party was persistent. Finally they said look, we left the troubles when we came here. We don't want any part of that any more. The same with the Syrian refugees. Give them a chance. Embrace them. Let them leave their troubles behind and start a new life like everyone else. Peace.

Narcos and Barry Seal

Narcos is an interesting TV series on Netflix that is about Pablo Escobar in Colombia. It shows a glimpse of the rivalry between the DEA and the CIA but it also introduced CIA drug smuggler Barry Seal who was a drug kingpin tied to both the Clintons and the Bush family working out of Mena Arkansas. They showed how George Bush Senior spun the Barry Seal story and convinced Reagan Barry Seal was working for the Sandinistas when in reality he was working for the CIA and the Contras. Reagan wasn't the bad guy, his advisor George Bush Senior was.



The Guardian ran an interesting article comparing Saddam Hussein with Manuel Noriega. It claims they both had US support until they went rogue and had to be overthrown. Gag. They got it half right. They enjoyed US support until they got screwed over. The CIA put Saddam Hussein in power. They sold him chemical weapons to use on Iran to oppose a potential Communist threat. They also sold Iran arms at the same time to raise money for the Contra rebels in Nicaragua.

Manuel Noriega was also on the CIA payroll. Colonel Edward P. Cutolo explained what Operation Watchtower was all about. Cutolo claimed there were a series of three electronic beacon towers beginning outside of Bogata, Colombia, and running northeast to the border of Panama. With the beacons in place and activated, aircraft could fix on their signal and fly undetected from Bogata to Panama, landing at Albrook Air Station.

Cutolo testified that the cargo flown from Colombia into Panama was cocaine. Cutolo claimed during the Feb., 1976, Watch Tower Mission, 30 high performance aircraft landed safely at Albrook Air Station where the planes were met by Col. Tony Noriega, a Panama Defence Force Officer assigned to the Customs and Intelligence Section. Also present at most of the arrivals was CIA Agent Edwin Wilson. Noriega was drug traficking for the CIA before they made him president. Pablo Escobar's connection to the CIA was found in Peru.

Judge Bonner claimed that the CIA brought a ton of cocaine on a jet into Miami when he was the head of the DEA. The CIA adamantly denied it until he went on 60 minutes November 1993 and documented everything. Then they finally admitted it was true but insisted that was the only time and it was a mistake. It was suppose to be a sting operation even though they made no attempt to track the cocaine or arrest anyone involved in supplying it.

In 2013 the CIA were caught bringing a single shipment of 24 tons of cocaine into Miami on a US Air force jet from Costa Rica. This time they didn't claim it was part of a sting operation. This time they claimed the cocaine was slated for destruction. I kid you not. Why on earth would they bring it to Miami of all places, cocaine central, to be “destroyed.” It just doesn't make sense.

Operation Fast and Furious showed that the CIA did indeed learn their lesson form the Judge Bonner story. The only way to get around the DEA was to infiltrate it. Operation Fast and Furious shows us that Iran Contra never stopped. The CIA are the biggest cocaine traffickers on the planet. The question is, if the CIA can lie about their persistent drug trafficking since Vietnam, what else are they capable of and willing to lie about? Almost anything really.

Dont get me wrong. Communism is bad. There is no such thing as Democratic Socialism in the Communist Manifesto. I'm just saying the end doesn't justify the means and that the CIA are just as bad as the Communists. In fact, some would say they are in reality on the same side.

Postmedia reports $225 million loss when they really made a $209 million gain

The Vancouver Province is reporting that "Postmedia Network Canada Corp.'s board has created a special committee to oversee a review of the media conglomerate's strategic options amid what CEO Paul Godfrey called "an unrelentingly challenging environment." The company reported another big loss in its second quarter Thursday."

Big loss is an understatement. It reported a $225.1-million loss in its second quarter.

This is of grave concern for everyone. How do we protect and preserve the sanctity of the press in such a competitive market? I'm not sure it's a competitive market so to speak because of all the corporate mergers. It's more of a challenging market because of human nature. Just like how the music industry tanked because of everyone downloading free music. We don't see too many HMV stores around that sell music CDs any more. Even video stores have disappeared partly because of downloading stolen movies.The bottomline is everyone wants something for nothing.

Just like television, revenue comes from advertising on commercials. Nobody likes commercials but nobody likes having to pay for TV either. They've even started running commercials at the previews in movie theatres now.

Yet it is easy for corporations to manipulate numbers one way or the other to suit their agenda. They want to cut jobs and expenses so they post an increase in losses to rationalize it. However, the increase in the loss resulted from an expenditure. They bought Sun Media from Quebecor in 2015. CBC is reporting that "the second-quarter net loss of $225.1 million, mainly due to an $187-million impairment charge." I'm not sure what the $187-million impairment charge was all about but it's certainly worth finding out.

Over all revenue increased from the purchase of Sun Media. CBC reported that "Revenues for the most recent quarter were $209.1 million, up from $145.4 million a year earlier, thanks to the company's acquisition of Sun Media from Quebecor in 2015." It's only when we factor out the increased revenue from Sun Media and factor in the expenditure that there apears to be a net loss when in reality there wasn't one at all. That's how they manipulate the numbers.

Why does any of this matter? Because like I keep saying, the freedom of the press is a sacred thing. Without it we become an uneducated mushroom patch always kept in the dark on important political issues that directly effect the amount of taxes we pay and the civil liberty we enjoy.Nobody likes politics but no one likes paying more taxes either and everyone likes civl liberty. I therefore submit that it's time for the public to become politically aware so they have more freedom and more money in their pocket. It's a catch 22. It's called social justice.



When we lose the freedom of speech, we lose our collective and individual freedom as well.

Heroin addict stabs friend 20 times in dispute over drugs

The Vancouver Province is reporting that "A Maple Ridge woman who fatally stabbed a close friend in a dispute over drugs has been sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 11 years." Here we have a heroin addict who stabs her "friend" 20 times and kills her in a dispute over drugs. Maybe heroin is bad for you and we should stop promoting addiction and start helping people get off it? Wouldn't that be a novel idea?
