Fort McMurray fire: State of emergency declared - Update

CTV is reporting that " Alberta has expanded an evacuation order around Fort McMurray and declared a provincial state of emergency as devastating wildfires continue to rip through the city and surrounding area. An estimated 1,600 structures have been burned and more than 80,000 residents forced from their homes ahead of the flames, which are expected to continue burning into the weekend." Absolutely tragic.

It is humbling to realize everything you've worked for your entire life can be gone in a New York minute. Yet it is inspiring to see people reach out in times of need. The moral of the story is clear. People and more important than possessions. To support victims of the fire in Fort McMurray, text REDCROSS to 45678 or 30333. Ottawa will match all donations to the Alberta Fire Appeal.

Update: The Canadian Press is reporting that Russia has offered assistance putting out the fire.

9/11 Smoke and Mirrors

There is a little drama over the possible release of a "classified" 911 document in the news which purports to be yet another circus side show. The New York Daily news is reporting that CIA Director John Brennan says documents that could link Saudi Arabia to 9/11 terrorists should be kept classified. Are you kidding me? Why even cite the CIA director? That's like citing Pablo Escobar or Maneu Noreaga. The CIA are drug traffickers.

The New York Daily states: "Former Florida Sen. Bob Graham, who co-chaired the joint Congressional inquiry, has been leading a push to release the documents, saying they suggest a Saudi role." No kidding. According to CNN 15 of the 19 hijackers in 911 came from Saudi Arabia and two came from United Arab Emirates where Erik Prince built his little mercenary army.

This is nothing new. The fact that the CIA ordered Mike Springman to approve their passports after he had denied them is nothing new either. What's new is this fake report claiming it was because of diplomatic immunity which is a bold faced lie.

The New York Post claims "Case agents I’ve interviewed at the Joint Terrorism Task Forces in Washington and San Diego, the forward operating base for some of the Saudi hijackers, as well as detectives at the Fairfax County (Va.) Police Department who also investigated several 9/11 leads, say virtually every road led back to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, as well as the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles. Yet time and time again, they were called off from pursuing leads. A common excuse was diplomatic immunity.”

That is nonsense. Diplomatic immunity wouldn't even explain why investigations were called off. These weren't diplomats. Neither would it explain why the CIA approved their passports after they had been denied. It is more smoke and mirror bullsh*t. Meanwhile, back on the ranch, the CIA 'live tweets' Osama bin Laden raid to mark the 5th anniversary of the raid. Yet back in reality, the Bin Laden "confession" video didn't even look like bin Laden.



Absurdly, as we speak MSN is reporting 9 Travel Safety Tips from a Former CIA Agent. The CIA is spamming the media with more smoke and mirrors bs in it's continued disinformation campaign. How about some CIA live tweets about their involvement with Operation Fast and Furious or their years of drug trafficking in Vietnam and Nicaragua?

Global Research is referring to it as a red herring propaganda ploy because that is exactly what it is. The CIA approved the passports after they were previously denied. That's all there is to it. The CIA spamming the media with nonsense has become ridiculous. They have no credibility after MI 6 was caught sending the media fake reports about Iraq's WMD in Operation Mass Appeal.

The CIA spamming the media with press releases is reminiscent of how they sent out the press release on the collapse of the third tower in New York to BBC early by mistake. They sent the press release out before it even happened. The third tower collapsed at freefall speed into it's own blueprint just like a controlled demolition even though no planes hit that tower. BBC reported that it had collapsed before it happened. Later they explained that they simply made a mistake and that they weren't in on any conspiracy.

If you report a murder that didn't happen that is a mistake. If you report a murder that did happen before it happened, that is not a mistake, that is inside information. The BBC obviously weren't part of the conspiracy. They were simply reporting on the press release the CIA had sent them early by mistake which they now deny but is the only plausible explanation. The CIA need to explain how they knew it was going to collapse before it did and how they had press releases prepared before hand. The CIA is a criminal organization. Buyer Beware.

Sea to Sky Gondola

Saturday I finally made it up to the Sea to Sky Gondola beside the Chief in Squamish. It doesn't go up the Chief it goes beside and above it but the view from the top is similar. You can hike up and take the gondola down just like the Grouse grind but it is a longer hike. I'm told it's at least three hours one way. There are other hikes you can do from the top as well.



I can see how inviting Sky Pilot is. Unfortunately there have been fatalities on the hike when there is snow on the trail as the last stretch of the trail is very steep. Climbing the steep snow without crampons is ill advised. Yet like seeing mount Baker from Abbotsford, Sky Pilot beacons me.

American Odyssey and Cover Affairs

I've started watching a riveting TV series on Netflix called American Odyssey. Obviously it's fiction but the frightening plausibility of the story is astounding. Contrast that with another trending series called Covert Affairs and we get both sides of the propaganda spectrum.

American Odyssey is about an American female Special Forces soldier who comes across computer files that prove a major corporation is funding jihadists in North Africa. But before she can tell anyone, the rest of her unit is killed and she is the only survivor and the only witness to her team’s true assassins overseas.

Zap2it states Jake Robinson plays more than the Occupy Wall Street guy. It is a conspiracy that, like it or not, cuts to the heart of the modern dilemma we all now face.



The first problem is a privatized military but that clearly is not the only problem. I remember when I first started writing about Blackwater. Trailrunner was offended I referred to them as mercenaries but that is exactly what they were. Blackwater was dirty and they still are. Yet they aren't the only ones. Privatizing the military is a huge concern. Yet the real concern goes far beyond that.

Cover Affairs is a lighter, fun TV series that one has to constantly remember that it is absolute fiction. The CIA isn't really like that. We would like to think it is but unfortunately when we look at the long dark history of the CIA the reality is a far cry from the fun James Bond type fiction.

In Covert Affairs, Annie and her handler Auggie are very likeable characters that are consistently on the side of good. Both characters went through a trailer trash tramp stage but both got through it and ended up in committed relationships and lived happily ever after so to speak.

There was an ongoing interaction with a friendly Mossad agent that paints the intelligence community as being on the side of good which in reality is very far from the truth. Not a word was mentioned about all the years of drug trafficking and all the other bad things the agency does. It did rationalize some of the bad the agency does explaining it away by claiming it was caused by one rouge high ranking member like Allen Dulles. In reality, we have to face the fact that a bitter tree cannot bring forth good fruit and if the roots are evil the whole organization is.

Consequently, Covert Affairs paints the privatized military in a much more positive light. McQuade was a good guy and was very competent which reinforced that the real problem isn't private versus public military. The real problem is good versus evil. However, it is much easier for evil to corrupt a private military when there is less public accountability. Nevertheless, we have seen that it's pretty easy to corrupt a public military as well.

Protecting the US Constitution is still the root of the conflict. Do we really understand the intent of the principles in the US Constitution or do we just rattle off the name like Sarah Palin's without having a clue what it really represents. The US Constitution is all about protecting civl liberty for everyone. We can't protect freedom by doing away with it. That's all there is to it.

Air America - Crack in the System

I just wanted to throw this one out there so I can link to it. Everyone knows I am a big fan of the Gary Webb story and the US Constitution. The US Constitution as well as the Canadian Charter of Rights and the Irish Proclamation protect civl liberty in a free republic. That freedom is under fire not from a foreign enemy but from enemies within.

Gary Webb claimed the CIA was responsible for the US crack epidemic in the 1980's. Gary Webb was right. This blog has always had two founding premises. The first was that the Hells Angels are a criminal organization. The second is like unto it. That the CIA is also a criminal organization. In a democratic society, police are needed to protect the public peace. So is the military. There is no mention of the CIA in the Constitution. Giving anyone a blank cheque with no public accountability is never a good idea.

Gary Webb wasn't the first person to break the story about the CIA's involvement with drug trafficking in the Nicaraguan war. In his book Dark Alliance he admits Bob Parry broke the story years prior and it was confirmed by the Kerry Committee. Gary Webb found where the CIA's cocaine went after it arrived in the US. Freeway Ricky had no idea he was selling crack for the CIA at the time and was shocked to find out after he was incarerated.

Yet as the popular youtube video entitled Crack the CIA declares, the CIA's drug trafficking began before Nicaragua. It began in Vietnam. Bo Gritz confirmed that. In fact, the CIA created the Golden Triangle and crashed the Nugan Hand bank in Australia just like it crashed the BCCI.

Not only did war hero Bo Gritz confirm the CIA were drug trafficking in Vietnam but Terry Reed wrote a book all about it called Compromised: Bush, Clinton and the CIA. The movie Air America with Mel Gibson and Robert Downey JR was a comedy about a corrupt CIA running drugs in Vietnam. Unfortunately it was based on a true story as explained by Terry Reed.

How does all this apply to us now? If the CIA were responsible for the US crack epidemic in the 1980's then they are responsible for ours. Operation Fast and Furious is proof of it. The Hells Angels unkowingly sell crack for the CIA just like Freeway Ricky did back in LA.



In fact, former Navy Intelligence officer Al Martin claimed that the CIA did use the Hells Angels to help distribute their cocaine during Iran Contra. Al Martin claimed that Oliver North met with the president of the Hells Angels himself. That's OK. Jim Delashmit is now a preacher and Oliver North is now a Fox TV News host. So much for the Freedom of the Press.

We should be opposing the public sale of crack cocaine we shouldn't be handing out free crack pipes promoting it. Heroin is bad but crack and crystal meth is even worse. We are losing the war on drugs simply because we never fought it. "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men and women to remain silent and do nothing." Peace.

Prince George Shooting, Surrey Lockdown

CBC is reporting that "Multiple suspects are in custody but others may still be at large following a shooting in Prince George early this morning. The victim remains in hospital. A lockdown at Blackburn Elementary school has now been lifted."

North Surrey Secondary Lockdown

CBC reported that there was a lockdown at North Surrey Secondary school Thursday. "Surrey RCMP said officers responded to an unconfirmed report of a person with a gun at 160th Street near 96th Avenue, and the school was put under lockdown as a precaution starting at 2:50 p.m."

The Surrey Now reported that "The incident that led to North Surrey Secondary being locked down Thursday afternoon began with an argument." Police say two men who knew each other were arguing when one believed he saw the other carrying a gun and called the cops around 3 p.m.

BCTV reported that the gun call was at a residence near the school not at the school and the school lockdown was just a precaution. They posted a picture from the helicopter of seven suspects in custody. All these school lockdowns are concerning.

Jim Brown finally leaves the RCMP - Oh Happy Day

CBC is reporting that "A B.C. Mountie has left the force a few days ahead of a disciplinary hearing focused on allegations of photos of the officer that were posted on a social networking site for sexual fetishists." This involves the offensive clown Jim Brown. "The disciplinary hearing on May 2, about four years after the investigation began, was to hear evidence related to five allegations of disgraceful or disorderly conduct and had been rescheduled several times."

This is the guy that posted bondage pictures of himself wearing nothing but his RCMP boots and a knife posing with a model on a BDSM website looking for willing partners. I'll tell you how offensive this scam is. The RCMP had already investigated him and found nothing illegal so they did nothing about it. Until a whistleblower went to the media. Then all of a sudden they cared.

Jim Brown launched a counter attack and sued the whistleblower for defamation. In his application he lied. He said the whistleblower had to create a profile on the BDSM website to view the pictures and that the pictures he posted were private. That was a lie. I saw them myself. The profile was public. There was even a stalker alert on it.

Jim Brown also sued the lawyer in the Missing Women's Inquiry for defamation. Turns out in the Inquiry people claimed they saw a picture of Jim Brown and Dave Pickton in a threesome. Right after that allegation was made, the Coquitlam RCMP got an illegal search warrant and seized all the whistleblowers hard drives and wiped them clean before returning them. They destroyed evidence the whistleblower needed to defend himself in the civl action. I kid you not.

What really happened was that Jim Brown simply stalled off the disciplinary hearing until he was ready to retire. CKNW reported that he claimed he is a 27-year veteran of the RCMP. He gets a full pension after 25 years That means he milked an extra two years of paid holidays by stalling off the hearing The RMP once again did nothing but aid and abet him.

The only thing shocking about the case is that he didn't get a transfer to Regional Office with Don Ray or get a promotion with Bill Fordy. That is the exact type of person Craig Callen promotes. Birds of a feather all get promoted together. (and go on "fishing" trips together) Meet the FOCCers - Friends of Craig Callen.

Jim Brown may have left the RCMP but this story isn't over yet. The Missing Women's Inquiry was *suposed* to hear evidence that off duty police officers attended parties at Piggy's Palace. That evidence still needs to be addressed. It's part of the Dianne Rock story.



CKNW posted a picture from some of his motorcycle rides traveling on paid holiday. Dave Pickton missed Willie's trial because he was on a ride to Sturgis. Hmmm...

Used Needles Plague Vancouver Elementary School

This is yet another example of how good intentions end up making a problem worse. The Vancouver Province is reporting that "Special needs teacher Mariya Astashenkava has a morning ritual when she arrives at Lord Roberts Annex elementary school in Vancouver’s West End. Before the kids can use the playground, Astashenkava and other staff comb the area looking for used hypodermic needles left behind by drug addicts who frequent Nelson Park at night.

"Some of the discarded needles are being found in a community garden adjacent to the school, which enrols students from kindergarten to Grade 3. On Sunday, one parent found seven used needles in the garden, and parents and staff think the problem is only going to get worse as the warm weather sets in and people use the park as an overnight campground."

The National Post is reporting that Finding used drug needles in public spaces has become the new normal for Vancouver. CBC is reporting that one woman said she found a single needle in the West End garden Saturday and removed it. But Sunday morning, when her family returned to work in the garden, they found seven new ones scattered around the planters. A few weeks ago she also found one jammed in the fence that separates the garden and the school, with the sharp end just feet from the school's playground equipment.

Back in the day, needle exchanges use to be exchanges. You turn in a used needle and get a free clean needle in return. It promoted turning used needles in. Somehow they did away with that requirement and just started handing out free needles which means the old needles are discarded everywhere. There is no incentive to return them any more.

My daughter has a lot of friends from other countries. Sometimes they ask her about a news program they saw that shocked them. They say, we saw a news report that in Canada they hand out free needles for addicts to do heroin. Is that true? They cannot comprehend it. They think it is insane. They are absolutely right. Even Snoop Dog was recently shocked by the insanity. Handing out free crack pipes is criminal. That Is NOT the New York model.

Shootings in Kamloops and Williams Lake - Update

BC Local News is reporting that "Police have one suspect in custody and have lifted a lockdown order following a shooting incident at a residence in Williams Lake early Monday morning." It was quite a dramatic lockdown where the schools were closed after several shots were fired into a home. As a result they caught the suspect.

I don't think we could have a lockdown in Surrey every time there was a shooting. We wouldn't be able to get anything done. Congrats on the arrest. Castanet is reporting that shots were fired into a residence on early Sunday morning in Kamloops. Two men have been arrested. Both of whom are known to the police.

Big city drug violence moving into smaller rural communities. It's all about the greed.

Update: I'm not sure if this is related but the William Lake Tribune reported earlier this month that "Three suspects were arrested Friday in relation to the disturbance on Second Avenue Wednesday, March 30, evening in Williams Lake that left a 20-year-old dead." Neil Cory Billyboy, Lashway Andrew Lulua (also known also Lashway Merritt) and Charissa Dayne Destiney Sulin were all charged with break and enter with intent to commit an indictable offence, unlawful discharge of a firearm with intent to wound/disfigure and breach of probation order after a gang related home invasion on On March 30. "Twenty-year-old Indi Johnny died in hospital as a result of a gunshot wound following the incident. Johnny had been released from prison just one week prior to his death." The question is, what were acused murderes doing out on bail?

Allen Dulles and JFK

Speaking of Lee Harvey Oswald, I just watched a strange show on Netflix called Killing Oswald. His former ties to the CIA were indeed bizarre. After Vetoing Operation Northwoods, Castro didn't have a motive to assassinate Kennedy, Allen Dulles did.

The Daily Mail reported that "Former CIA director Allen Dulles ordered JFK's assassination because he was a threat to national security, a new book has claimed. Journalist David Talbot insists the head of the most potent agency during the Cold War wanted the former president removed for the good of the country." Big surprise. Allen Dulles was as dirty as they get. He was the one that proposed Operation Northwoods which Kennedy vetoed.

After Kennedy was assassinated, Lyndon B. Johnson ordered the attack on the USS Liberty.

The top picture is of Barry Seal and Felix Rodriguez with members of Operation 40 which Allen Dulles created. Wikipedia claims it was disbanded in 1970 due to allegations that an aircraft that was carrying cocaine and heroin in support of the group crashed in California. As we know, Barry Seal was a cocaine smuggling kingpin for the CIA out of Mena, Arkansas.

The bottom picture is from a previous post about a Youtube video showing that Kennedy was shot from the front not from the rear as the Warren Commission report claimed. Allen Dulles, the prime suspect in Kennedy's assassination was a member of the Warren Commission investigating his murder. In that video it clearly showed the body guards who were supposed to jump in and act as human shields in case someone was trying to shoot the president were ordered to pull back right before Kennedy was shot. Three times he was ordered to pull back and three times he questioned the order finally shrugging his shoulders expressing his confusion with the decision.



Allen Dulles recruited the Mafia

Although Kennedy vetoed Operation Northwoods he approved Operation Mongoose which was a covert attempt to overthrow Castro from within similar to Operation Ajax in Iran. Unfortunately, Allen Dulles recruited the assistance of the American Mafia. I kid you not.



Trading with the Enemy

The Guardian reported that Allen Dulles helped hide the Bush family's business dealings with Nazi Germany until they finaly had assets seized under the the Trading with the Enemy Act. Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg once stated that "The Dulles brothers were traitors." Some historians believe that Allen Dulles became head of the newly formed CIA in large part to cover up his treasonous behavior and that of his clients.
