Cannabis Miracle, Pot Fraud

Front page of yesterday's Vancouver Province was the ultimate drug dealer PR fraud targeting children. The headline read Cannabis Miracle and had a picture of a mother an son who claims Cannabis oil helped reduce her son's seizures. First off, yes that it totally believable. Cannabis oil that is low in THC but high in CBD does reduce seizures and is well worth investigating.

Now let's address the fraud. This does not mean that smoking pot is good for you because it's not. Smoking anything is bad for you. That's why the leading cause of death in house fires is smoke inhalation. That's why they have all those grotesque pictures on tobacco products. Smoking pot causes throat and lung cancer just like smoking tobacco does.



Now that legal pot is labeled let's once again reiterate the obvious. THC gets you stoned. CBD does not. Pot that is high in CBD and low in THC doesn't get you stoned but does help reduce seizures. Pot that is low in CBD but high in THC is recreational pot good for getting you stoned. The Pothead zombie apocalypse takes stories like this about cannabis oil and cheer while they light up another blunt and say see I told ya this stuff was good for you. Anything that gets you stoned, baked or wasted is not good for you.

Adolescents should not smoke or ingest pot that is high in THC because it will impair their brain development. Not so much in adults whose brains have fully developed but kids shouldn't smoke pot. Period. How many drug dealers are going to take this front page article to the local schools and start selling pot to kids telling them getting stoned is good for you.

As I keep saying, I will be the first one to agree pot is way less damaging than crack, crystal meth or fentanyl. However, smoking pot is not good for you. There are way too many people out there that smoke way too much pot. That is their business. Just don't try and pretend it's good for you. Back in the day we used to call people who smoked pot every day stoners. Now we call them activists. Stop lying to the kids. CBD is good. THC is not.

BC's' Fentanyl Crisis - the Faces of Fentanyl

BC's Fentanyl crisis is in the news. People are dying left right and centre. Previously we posted a video to a documentary on Calgary's Fentanyl crisis which was fundamentally different than BC's crisis. Fentanyl is a horrible drug that is very damaging and very addictive. The people in Calgary were addicted to Fentanyl and buying it knowingly. Nobody in BC wanted it so the drug dealers started putting it in other drugs so people would get addicted to it unknowingly and the'y'd have a repeat customer for life. What little left there was of it. That is predatory.

Last night on the National CBC ran a documentary on the new face of Fentanyl taking a case right here form the famous Surrey Strip where everyone in the country now knows the police let drug dealers sell drugs in public without arresting them and can see the horrific damage that practice has caused. We need to follow up on the case to make sure Kati isn't killed for doing the interview. We need to protect the source.

Despite the physical transformation Kati has undergone, when listening to her story we can still hear her heart and he touched by it. Her kind gentle spirit reminds me of Janice Shore who was brutally murdered in Surrey when she could no longer pay for the drugs she was using. Kati said she has always had an addictive personality whether that be shopping or facebook. People wouldn't normally liken spending time shopping or on facebook as an addiction. Kati is very humble and genuine. She said her dealer said to her one day he has some new pills that are 100 times more powerful than the oxy she was on but are only $5 more. Do you want to try them? She said sure and now she is addicted and the drug is eating her alive.

This has shown us exactly what harm promotion has done. By dancing all around the predatory drug dealers and rewarding them for lacing the crack with Fentanyl they have now achieved their goal just like in Calgary. People are now addicted to Fentanyl and are starting to buy it knowingly. Rewarding drug dealers for conning people has created a tidal wave of more addiction and more deaths. History has recorded that.

We also need to remember that there is another face of Fentanyl in Surrey. The face of Leanne Yardley, a hard working mother with an education and career who was out for a night to get a break and did a line of cocaine socially. Turns out it wasn't cocaine it was straight up Fentanyl. She died instantly. Selling Fentanyl passed off as cocaine in evil. Not arresting the drug dealers who do that makes us culpable in those murders. Harm promotion has failed. We need to stop kicking the cat and arrest the drug dealers selling Fentanyl. Failing to do that is not social justice. It is criminally insane. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

$45 million found on former Hells Angels compound

CJAD News is reporting that "Police in Sherbrooke have unearthed around $45 million on a former Hells Angels compound. The money was buried in plastic buckets in various spots of land, and was only found after police received the tip from former gang member Sylvain Boulanger. According to the Journal de Montreal, Boulanger was paid nearly $3 million for his information."

Hells Angels associate gunned down in Sainte-Thérèse

CBC is reporting that "the death of Hells Angels associate Sylvain Éthier, gunned down Thursday night as he was leaving his home in Saint-Thérèse, is part of a cleanup within the organization, said Sylvain Tremblay, a former Sûreté du Québec officer who worked on cases involving biker gangs. Éthier was arrested in March and accused of being a ringleader of a large contraband tobacco ring. ​He may have failed to heed warnings that those being released wanted their territory back, the ex-SQ investigator said. 'They're trying to restore order among those who wouldn't toe the line,' Tremblay told Radio-Canada."

The AFT's Predisposition for Corruption

Operation Fast and Furious showed us that the ATF is corrupt. Before we examine the ATF's predisposition for corruption, we need to recap just what Operation Fast and Furious is and was. Tonight the passionate Eye on CBC ran a documentary called Secrets of Mexico’s Drug War. The documentary shows how Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel has maintained its position - seemingly aided and abetted by the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). The episode is still available online but I can just find the trailer.

The bottom line is that in Operation Fast and Furious, the ATF were selling the Mexican Cartel guns and bringing back tons of cocaine into the US as payment. Gary Webb was right. Iran Contra never stopped. Obviously it was a CIA led operation. The CIA has been deeply involved with drug trafficking since the Vietnam war. We talked about the Judge Bonner story. Judge Bonner was head of the DEA when the CIA were caught bringing a ton of cocaine into Florida.

The CIA kept denying it over and over until Judge Bonner went on 60 minutes and documented everything. Then they finally admitted it was true but claimed it was a mistake and that it was the only time. Both statements were lies. It wasn't a mistake. They said they were trying to track where the cocaine came from to make an arrest but they made no attempt whatsoever to track the cocaine when it hit the streets nor did they make any attempt to arrest anyone involved with bringing it into the country. As we saw from the Gary Webb story and from Mena Arkansas, this was clearly not the first nor the last time the CIA were caught drug trafficking.

The next time the CIA was caught bringing a ton of cocaine into Florida, they didn't say it was a mistake, they said they were bringing it in to destroy it. Why would they not destroy it at source? Why would they bring it into cocaine central to destroy it? That is ridiculous.

Now it turns out that one of the guns used in a Paris terrorist attack came from Operation Fast and Furious which was run out of Phoenix Arizona. In steps the ATF's predisposition for corruption. These were some of the same ATF agents that were involved in a Hells Angels undercover operation there. Alex Caine once told me that he met some of those ATF agents in Arizona. I'm not going to name names because that would be pointless. There would be too many names to name. Alex told me he went to a house where the ATF were having a wild party with strippers where everyone was getting drunk and talking about confidential things in front of the strippers. He didn't think it was very professional.

You can say what you want about Alex Caine - he's a fake, he's a rat, the list goes on. I do believe he was there and saw that. Why is it a big deal? Because it shows us two things. It shows us the vicious cycle of unprofessionalism in law enforcement just like when the Secret Service agents were caught stiffing a prostitute in Colombia. Married men, trying to pretend to be heros where they get drunk and cheat on their wives all in the name of the greater good.

What it really shows is the true character of many of the law enforcement officers that go undercover to arrest bikers. They do it because they actually covet that lifestyle. It shows their predisposition for corruption and explains why it was so easy for the CIA to infiltrate them to betray their oath to protect the Constitution. After all, that is what the CIA learned from the Judge Bonner story. The only way to shut up the DEA and the ATF is to infiltrate them.

Stephen Harper at the Bohemian Grove

Speaking of creepy, what on earth is homophobic Corporate Communist Stephen Harper doing at the Bohemian Grove? I thought that was one great big homosexual prostitution ring? Sounds like a bohemian rhapsody to me. BTW Const. Dario Devic, that Surrey RCMP officer caught by Creep Catchers has been charged with child luring. It just keeps getting weirder.

Investigation extended into Victoria Chief of Police

The Times Colonist is reporting that "Investigators looking into allegations of misconduct by Victoria's embattled police chief have once again been granted more time to complete their work. The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner has extended the timeline for a series of investigations involving Chief Frank Elsner. He is alleged to have sent inappropriate Twitter messages to the wife of one of his officers, then is accused of making false statements and deleting data arising from the original investigation. The reviews were scheduled to be done by Friday, but investigators asked for more time and were granted an extension until Nov. 30."

Sudbury dot com is reporting that the Soap opera continues in case of former Sudbury police chief. CBC is reporting that Frankie calls parts of B.C. Police Act unconstitutional. Isn't that ironic? Now all of a sudden he cares about civl liberty. This guy is a piece of garbage and is the perfect example of everything that's wrong with the police department nowadays.

Hitting on the wife of an officer under his command. He should never return to that position. How can the officers under him respect him after that? The public deserves better. This isn't just a one time thing. This is a climate of unprofessionalism that permeates the RCMP as well as each of the regional police forces. All Hail Bill Fordy the dancing monkey himself. Friends of Craig Callen.

Sudbury Living Magazine reported that for many years while working under cover Frank Elsner "associated with criminals and partied with drug users, bikers, and hookers. He set up elaborate drug deals, disappeared for weeks on end, was involved in a hitman operation, and had multiple aliases." Looks like nothing has changed now has it. This case ties in with the ATF's predisposition for corruption. Stay tuned.

Ontario Nomads shut down after president and vice president shot in Quebec - Update

Big news. The Toronto Star is reporting that "The Hells Angels have shut down their elite Nomads chapter outside Ottawa, just a month after hosting a national gathering of more than 500 outlaw bikers." This is also after the Nomads President Martin Bernatchez and the vice president Philippe Boudreau were both shot in two different incidents both in Quebec. The Toronto Star is also reporting that Former Ontario Nomads’ president Paul Porter quit the club and moved back home to Montreal. Porter was the good guy, relatively speaking, who crossed over from the Rock Machine when the last original leaders crossed over after Mom Boucher went to prison.



TVA Nouvelle reported that it appeared to be an internal conflict and implied that it is likely because Quebec Hells Angels arrested during SharQ have now been released and want their territory back. Like I said, don't f*ck with Quebec. They will blow sh*t up. Je me souviens.

Philippe Boudreau was from Sudbury but wore a Hamilton jacket which is where the Calabrians who were warring with the Rizzutos are from. Quebec sources claimed the Ontario HAs supported the Calibrations when Vito was in prison. Martin and Philippe were pretty solid but other than the guys from Quebec who went there, Ontario never really grasped the MC concept. They were very divisive.

Angels Forever Forever Angels. Or at least until more money can be made from someone else.

Update: A blog reader just reminded me, the Ontario Nomads is the same chapter local cub pack member Damion Ryan was given a patch out of. Kim Bolan confirmed that back in February.

Snowden hits the theatre

Snowden, the movie about the life of whistleblower and patriot Edward Snowden hits the theatre September 16th. BBC is reporting that The American Civil Liberties Union and Amnesty International are ready to launch the "Pardon Snowden" campaign. They are urging President Barack Obama to act before he leaves office in January 2017. Wishful thinking. The CIA paid for Obama's education. They only pardon drug traffickers tied to Iran Contra.

Last month I made a blog post comparing Edward Snowden with Liu Xiaobo. The United States government is very passionate about supporting someone like Liu Xiaobo who is a political prisoner in China that won a nobel Peace Prize but they are someone less passionate about supporting someone like Edward Snowden who basically did the same thing. It's very different when the shoe is on the other foot.

Edward Snowden reported unlawful behavior and they want to send him to jail for treason. This is the perfect example of how the west has become just like the communists when it comes to censorship and warrantless surveillance. The fact that they want to put him in jail shows us how far we have fallen from the principles of the US Constitution.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Opens Up About Meeting Edward Snowden

Are you there, Democracy? It’s me, the Internet.

George Christie: The Last American Outlaw

I finally watched the movie The Last American Outlaw with George Christie. It's too bad there was a falling out after the film was made. I think it's underlying message of reflecting on lost liberty is timely and important. I noticed an old blog post on the Aging Rebels blog where he talked about the film and said he wrote most of the narration. Obviously he didn't want to get involved in the George Christie Sonny Barger cat fight and has pulled his endorsement.

The movie is f*cking awesome. Nick Mead did a great job. So did the Aging Rebel. Ya'll gotta get your sh*t together. There is a bigger message here that really needs to get out. The initial intent of the film was to provide an alternate view to the series of films about undercover operations targeting bikers and focus on lost liberty as well as shed a light on FBI and ATF tactics.

The ATF lost all credibility after Operation Fast and Furious. Now everything they do is suspect. My free e-book was about two subjects dear to my heart: confronting organized crime and protecting civl liberty. I have a friend that has left Vancouver and now lives in Cali. He recently told me the HAs are different in the US. They aren't all into the drugs like they are in Vancouver.

The aggressive manner in which the FBI and the ATF are targeting the MC movement in the United States should be a concern for everyone. Stephen Sanders, the former president of the San Diego Chapter of Hells Angels was sentenced to 25 years in prison not for drug trafficking but for kicking a guy out of the club. The government's obsession to seize the Mongols patch after a judge already said they couldn't is concerning. It is clear that the government isn't trying to end drug trafficking it's trying to eliminate any organization they see as a threat or are afraid of.

The movie sets out to portray a set of ideals that are currently under seize and claims Outlaws are civil libertarians. The movie states that America has come closer to becoming a police state than it ever has. This is all very true and very concerning. That is the real issue we must confront. Where are the oath keepers who swore an oath to defend the civil liberty in the US Constitution against all enemies both foreign and domestic because they certainly aren't in office.

There are no club secrets revealed in this film. Michael Bowen wrote the theme song and read the narration. The film captures the real definition of an outlaw biker and claims "Criminals drive mercedes and ride in limousines. Outlaws ride the last American motorcycle." Here in Vancouver they don't ride motorcycles they drive SUVs because they aren't outlaws they are drug dealers.

In his new book Exile on Front street George Christie states:

"People confuse the outlaw and the criminal. Some outlaws commit crimes, but the real outlaw isn’t a criminal by trade. He’s someone who refuses to live by society’s established norms of behavior. He has an internal code and answers only to his own sense of honor and right and wrong. The outlaw doesn’t conform; he rebels. He doesn’t accept; he questions. In the end, the outlaw might change and adapt, but he bends for no man and won’t let his life be defined by someone else. Jesse James was an outlaw but so was Albert Einstein. I’ve been many things - father, son, husband, leader, brother, and friend - but through it all, I was always an outlaw."

Likewise in the movie the Last American Outlaw the narrator states: "It is a great dream to be an outlaw. To be an outlaw is to search for one's moment as Bay Wolf searched. To be an outlaw is to be all at once Robin Hood, Robinson Crusoe, Danial Boone, Wyatt Earp, Jesse James, Clyde Barrow. Outlaws live by their own code."

George Christie said the thing he liked the most about being a member of the Hells Angels was the freedom and the brotherhood. Where is that brotherhood now? George said he left because the club was heading in a direction different than myself. Maybe that's because the club is heading in the wrong direction. Maybe because some in the club want to sell drugs and be a criminal organization. Maybe they are set on pimping the dream instead of living the dream. Maybe they are the ones who sold out not the people who left it. Real Outlaws don't obey unjust orders.



George Christie's new book Exile on Front Street will be released September 20th 2016.
