God Bless Wayne Moriarty - Update

Wayne Moriarty is a voice of reason in a perfect storm of insanity. On the front page of today's Vancouver Province was the headline A Sobering Second Thought. Inside was a magnificent article written by Wayne Moriarty expressing his opinion that Sobriety needs more investment during the fentanyl crisis. Three cheers!

In the article he states "To date, more than $40 million has been spent by government departments in British Columbia on the fentanyl crisis. On Tuesday, Vancouver city council approved a tax increase of 0.5 per cent on all homeowners in order to further assist in this fight. The tax is expected to raise approximately $3.5 million next year, with most of the money going to all the predictable resources required when 'harm reduction' is your guiding principle."

"Here’s an idea: Instead of going all in on harm reduction, why not go all in on sobriety? Sobriety, sadly, has been lost in much of the discussion around the fentanyl crisis, and yet sobriety is the only thing that is guaranteed to work. Instead of more safe injection sites, more naloxone kits, more paramedics, more of everything and anything that will keep drug addicts stoned and safe, let’s invest in sobriety and, by extension, a vastly improved quality of life."

"Sometimes, when I listen to people talk about the care and treatment of addiction, it’s like they are talking about Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Everyone, and I mean everyone, who is dying in the grip of addiction can save themselves by getting sober."

"Instead of this obsession with harm reduction, seemingly at the exclusion of all other solutions, our obsession ought to be overwhelmingly focused on having abusers of drugs and alcohol stop abusing drugs and alcohol. This means more publicly funded treatment centres and way way way more beds for the mentally ill." Here here!

The Price Pro Solution

Price Pro is the perfect example of the absurdness of the policy. Price Pro is a store that raises money for a private non profit organization that actually helps people get off drugs. Most of the other government funded treatment centres in surrey are flop houses that promote and exploit the methadone scam where doctors and pharmaceutical companies turn heroin addicts into methadone addicts for life and make a killing off the tax paid prescriptions. Price Pro can't get government funding because they aren't in on the pharmaceutical scam. They actually help people get off drugs and as a result can't get government funding. I kid you not.



Update: Well, well, well. I'm not the only one who agrees with Wayne Moriarty on sobriety. Several people wrote into the Vancouver Province expressing their agreement with his position. Sounds like the silent majority are finally beginning to speak up against the belligerent brats. People need homes not drugs. We need to spend money on housing not harm promotion.

You can't force all addicts into rehab but you can force criminals into rehab if they are prolific offenders committing crime to pay for their addiction. The courts used to make that a term and condition of probation.

Update: Turns out the response to Wayne Moriarty's article has been overwhelming and he put ut a follow up article as a result.

"Reaction to last Wednesday’s column staggered me. It wasn’t the volume of emails that had me reeling, it was that 98 per cent of the hundreds of responses sent to my inbox agreed with me. Some readers agreed with me more than I agreed with myself. I’ve been in the news business almost as long as ink, and I can tell you this: If I argued grey is a sadder colour than rose, I might get two-thirds consensus, so 98 per cent agreement on anything is, well, as I said, staggering. "

Mayor's Glutton Council approves tax hike to promote drug trade

The end is near. The end of fiscal responsibility and public health care. News 1130 is reporting that @CityofVancouver votes to pass 2017 budget with additional 0.5% property tax to increase opioid response. Property taxes going up 3.9% total. The mayor's glutton council will use any excuse they can think of to raise taxes. Now they are pimping the fentanyl crisis which they created as an excuse to raise taxes again and kick back a fraction of a percent to promote more deaths. They don't even call it a fentanyl crisis. They are calling it an opioid crisis.

Heroin isn't the problem, fentanyl is. Predatory drug dealers mixing fentanyl with heroin, crack, cocaine and even pot. That is the problem. Instead of arresting the drug dealers selling the tainted drugs they help their business by promoting addiction. That isn't just insane, it is criminal culpability. They are the ones that created the crisis by refusing to arrest the drug dealers selling the tainted drugs at Main and Hastings and on the Surrey Strip.

So first they create the problem, then they use it as an excuse to raises taxes like they just had a referendum on and failed so now they just do it anyways just because they can. Before I dive into Justin Bieber's criminal culpability, let's have a look at the Mayors' Gutton council. The media is referring to them as the Translink Mayors. WTF? They created a duplicate office for their gluttony and it just slides by unnoticed because Christy Clark is more than happy to have someone else raise taxes for her. Translink - the ones that are too cheap to buy snow tires for buses in Metro Vancouver so they pull half the busses off the street when it snows when demand is higher. Thanks for nothing idiots.

Justin Trudeau, friend of Communist China jumps in and says they're right we need more lethal injection sites. No we don't. Those are part of the problem not part of the solution. The four pillars program has four pillars not one. When you eliminate the other three pillars, you are trying to ride a one legged horse as harm reduction become harm promotion. Don't get me started on Insite's political slush fund.

Let's talk to the real experts on the matter. Former VPD Ninja Inspector John McKay and Dr. Colin Mangham. Dr. Colin Mangham is an expert in the field of prevention and has worked in the field since 1979. He lost his job for speaking out against Insite.

Inspector John McKay explained the root of the problem. As soon as you set up a lethal injection site or needle exchange, the police let drug dealers sell drugs outside. Why do they do that? That is the problem right there. Getting addicts out of the allies is one thing but promoting the drug trade by pouring gasoline on a forest fire is something very different.

Now the pinnacle of the medical corruption has been revelaed once again. The Surrey Leader is reporting that a former RCMP officer is pushing to solve the problem by giving addicts medical grade heroin. How the f*ck is that going to solve the problem you raging lunatic? Who is going to pay for the drugs?! I can see it now, you can't get an MRI or Cancer medication but you can get free heroin. Every addict in the world will come here. That will bankrupt our sacred public medical system faster than you can say criminal culpability.

We need to stop the corruption and the insanity by simply arresting the drug dealers selling drugs tainted with fentanyl. That's it. Raising taxes to promote the drug trade means we all have blood on our hands for being accessories to murder.

Remember when Vancouver City Hall bought the Drake Hotel from the Hells Angels to turn it into social housing? They paid them twice as much as it was worth. They took $2 million out of social housing and gave it straight to the Hells Angels. This is the same proposal. People need homes not drugs. God help us. No one else will.

Update: God Bless Wayne Moriarty

Wayne Moriarty is a voice of reason in a perfect storm of insanity.

CIA report obvious fraud

The Washington Post is reporting that Kellyanne Conway calls the CIA report on Russian election meddling ‘laughable and ridiculous’. The CIA report claimed Russia interfered with the US election to help defeat Hillary Clinton. That is indeed ridiculous. It fails the test of believability and clearly shows how desperate the CIA were to get Hillary elected.

I remember hearing in the news the absurd claim about Russia fixing the US election to defeat Hillary and wondered where on earth such a ridiculous idea came from. I thought it was from the National Inquirer. Now we have it. The ridiculous report came directly from the CIA itself.

I don't like Donald Trump. I don't support his racist insanity. Yet I realize some people who voted for him are not racist. They voted for him for other reasons such as a genuine desire to see the economy improve. Deep down that's what we all want.

Hillary Clinton on the other hand is a dirty criminal. She has been deeply involved in the CIA drug trafficking network since Mena Arkansas. Hillary Clinton was the author of Operation Fast and Furious. She was not an enemy of Putin. She sold him weapons grade uranium for his nuclear missiles. The CIA were the ones that helped put him in power.

The movie the November Man with Pierce Brosnan was based on a true story. So here's the deal. I realize no one cares about the CIA's drug trafficking network because most see it as a problem too big for anyone to fix. Yet that doesn't mean we have to go to the other extreme and become mindless sheep who believe and accept every ridiculous claim they make.

Why is the CIA still spamming the mainstream media with ridiculous propaganda? Because they can and for the most part, it works. We need to give our head a shake and use our brains so that we can see through the mindless propaganda and see exactly where they are trying to take us because they are the real enemies of the State. They are the ones who broke their oath to preserve and protect the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic.

Update: I'm not going to flog a dead horse. Hillary lost the election. We need to get over it and move forward not backward. She is a dirty criminal so there is no love lost. If the Democrats want to retake the White House they have to run another candidate. It's as simple as that. Bernie Saunders was a better choice. The criminals pushed for Hillary and lost the White House as a result. That was a natural consequence of that bad decision.

I'm not going to get into a long winded debate about Republican vs Democrat or Capitalist vs Socialist. Communist China is the biggest threat to world peace on the planet. Second to China is the CIA who are pushing the same agenda - the destruction of civil liberty and the free market.

The point of this post was simple. I realize no one cares about the CIA's drug trafficking Network that murdered Gary Webb, but I do. Even if we chose to be an ostrich and ignore all that evidence because there is nothing we can do about it, then the least we can do is open our eyes and see through the ridiculous propaganda the CIA continues to spam the mainstream media with so we are not deceived by it. Consider the source.

Kelowna drug bust

Kelowna Cap News is reporting that Kelowna RCMP seized 1.32 kilograms of suspected fentanyl-laced heroin and 2.1 kilograms of suspected methamphetamine. "Terry Weninger, 44, and Robert Colbon, 59, of West Kelowna, along with Darcy Lenko, 52, of Penticton, each appeared in court and have since been remanded into custody. Police say each have been formally charged with multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.

Lance Wust, 42, of Kelowna has been charged with possession of a controlled substance. After his first appearance he was released by the courts on strict conditions. The remaining individuals arrested, a 52-year-old West Kelowna man, a 22-year-old Vernon man and an 18-year-old Kelowna woman were released from police custody. Each face potential charges and are expected to appear in court at a later date."

I know I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but that fentanyl-laced heroin looks green. You can kinda tell something is wrong with it. This is the RCMP press release.

The US Debt to China Fraud

MSN News is reporting that the United States owes Communist China 1.5 trillion and that China is the largest foregin owner of US debt. The Business Insider is reporting that China's economy has grown so fast, that even as it today towers over most developed nations, and in fact as it finances their budget deficits, it's still receiving foreign aid from them.

China gets more than $2.5 billion a year in foreign government aid - and taxpayers and lawmakers in donor countries are increasingly asking why. Because that is the biggest fraud since the Wall Street bailout and the Great Canadian bank bailout Harper lied about.

Communist politicians in China are the wealthiest in the world. Those hypocritical gluttons are the ones that need to feed the poor in the rural areas instead of pimping them off to the rest of the world so they can intercept that foreign aid and put it in their own pockets. God as my witness, giving Communist China control of our debt and giving them Canada's oil rights is a far bigger threat to world peace than any smoke and mirror Islamophobia. Mark my word.

Ziggy Matheson found guilty

Ziggy Matheson who was described as being involved in a top level drug bust on Vancouver Island has been found GUILTY on counts 2, 3, and 4 all for Possession for the purpose of trafficking. No sentencing date set yet.

Among the drugs seized were two kilograms of cocaine, 12.7 kilograms of marijuana, 10 litres of GHB or the “date-rape” drug, one kilogram of crystal meth and 200 ecstasy pills.

Ziggy's co accused, Ali Arash Ziaee, plead guilty to three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking related to cocaine and GHB. He received a 30 month sentence.

Oral Reasons for Sentence Re Accused Ali Arash Ziaee

[5] To briefly summarize, therefore, the police investigated individuals they suspected were involved in the trafficking of narcotics. Surveillance was conducted and the police obtained phone and text conversations between various persons involved in this operation. As the Crown has summarized, Mr. Ziaee was clearly a courier for this enterprise, a trusted employee, if you will, of the people who were above him in the drug hierarchy, and he was eventually arrested on June 6, 2013.

[6] At that time, he was in possession of two kilos of powder cocaine upon his attendance at the apartment outlined in Count 2, the so‑called stash house which was used to break down the cocaine into packages for street‑level transactions, known as a dial‑a‑dope operation. In the apartment there was approximately 10.5 grams of crack cocaine attributed to Mr. Ziaee that was found in a small safe. In addition, in his vehicle, there was 7.5 litres of GHB, the subject matter of Count 5.

Heartwarming Amazon add defines a Free Republic

I saw this wonderful commercial on TV the other day. It's an add for Amazon that shows a Muslim and a Priest forming a friendship swapping stories over a cup of tea. As they develope a friendship, they obviously confided in each other that as old age settles in they both find kneeling down to pray hard on the knees so they both get the same idea. They both order a set of knee pads for each other on Amazon. This is what a free republic really is. The freedom of religion. This is the dream that Martin Luther King marched for. That the US Constitution would be more than a nice piece of paper hanging on the wall. Martin Luther King's dream was that one day the US Constitution would actually be implemented and followed. I share that dream.

Don't fear the hijab. Get to know the person under the hijab.



From a distance we look the same.

Real IRA member shot and killed in Cork city

The Irish Times is reporting that a former chief of staff of the Real IRA named Aidan O’Driscoll aka the Beast died after he was shot three times today in Cork. We know that if he was shot in Cork, he wasn't shot by the Protestants so the UDA, UVF or the UFF are out. Looks like it was obviously internal so to speak.

The people who call themselves the real IRA are a splinter group. They're not the original IRA. They simply call themselves the Real IRA because they still oppose any kind of peace settlement the original IRA made in the Good Friday accord. At least that's what I thought.

It appears that I'm a bit out of the loop so I am. I've been back from Ireland for 26 years now. The interesting thing is that Aidan O’Driscoll and Alan Ryan from the Real IRA waged a war against drug dealers in Dublin. So here we see the Real IRA start doing what the original IRA did back in Belfast. They start shooting drug dealers dead. Aidan does time in prison because he was a member of an illegal organization. So here we have a paramilitary organization waging war with drug dealers and the government deems them an illegal organization and sends them to jail. So which side is the government really on then? Are they supporting drug dealers? This has become somewhat problematic so it has.

The Independent reported that "However senior sources say the Real IRA was simply demanding large sums of cash off criminal gangs and if they refused to pay up they became targets for the feared dissident gang who traded under the IRA name." Hmmm... That's possible too so it is. The stories I could tell. It's hard to sift out the truth between the lines so it is.

Sounds like things are heating up in the Holy land again only this time it's about drugs.

Notice the Easter rising pin on the beret. God love 'em.

There are two reasons the Irish Republicans chose the Easter Lily to commemorate the Irish Proclamation and the Easter Rising. First is the obvious in that the Easter Lily blooms at Easter and symbolizes the resurrection. The other reason is because the Easter Lily is white, green and orange just like the flag of the Irish Republic. Green represents Catholics, Orange represents Protestants and White represents peace between the two.

The Irish Proclamation declares "we pray that no one who serves that cause will dishonor it by cowardice, inhumanity, or rapine." When I first arrived in Ireland many yeas ago I landed in Dublin right after the IRA had kidnapped a Dentist and held him for ransom. That was a criminal act. It had nothing to do with fighting for freedom. It was simply extortion. After they kidnapped him they cut off his fingers and sent them to his family with the ransom note. That was a brutal and senseless act that violated the Irish Proclamation. It was inhumane rapine.

That was Dessie O'Hare. He had been kicked out of the IRA and the INLA at the time. O'Hare had broken away from the remaining INLA leadership in Belfast and set up his own group, the Irish Revolutionary Brigade, which operated in the border region out of Castleblayney. It was described as having "a handful" of members. In 1987 O'Hare and three other INLA members kidnapped John O'Grady, a dentist from Dublin, and demanded a IR£1.5m ransom. The Dentist, John O'Grady, passed away in September of this year. So in reality Dessie O'Hare didn't represent the IRA or the INLA, he only represented himself.

The IRA stands for the Irish Republican Army. Irish Republicans are not people who believe in George Bush. They are people who believe in a free republic. I share that belief.

Police make two arrests related to Rock Machine murder

The Montreal Gazette is reporting that Richard Hunt, 38, and 28-year-old Mélanie Binette were arrested in the Vaudreuil-Dorion area and questioned about the role they may have played in the killing of Joseph Fluet & Steven Lamarsh - two men with supposed links to criminal biker gangs.

Saturday we posted that Rock Machine member Joseph "Fuego" Fluet, 45, was one of two men who were shot and killed Friday just outside Montreal. Sunday the Montreal Gazette reported that Hunt and Binette were people the police want to question not suspects.

Fluet has been identified in the past by police as a member of the Rock Machine. The Journal de Montréal reported that Fluet was born as Éric Lefebvre and was once part of a puppet gang controlled by the Hells Angels, and had his name changed sometime after 2008. In April 2001, Lefebvre told the newspaper that he had got into serious trouble with the Hells Angels. In May 2001, an expert on biker gangs with the RCMP in New Brunswick described Lefebvre as a courier who transported drugs for the Hells Angels in Quebec. This was after Lefebvre had pleaded guilty to setting a pub called Goodfella’s on fire in Moncton.

Surf's up: The New Season has Begun

Today was a magnificent day. As I was riding down King George outside Gus' shop you could see the snow on Grouse and the surrounding mountain peaks from the top of the hill. Then riding into Vancouver you could see the Lions covered in snow. The snowline was almost at the bottom of the mountain. It was like someone swept a paintbrush across the mountain and left behind a blanket of fresh snow. The season has officially begun.



I snowshoed up Hollyburn Ridge on Cypress today. It was awesome.



If you look closely you can see Lion's Gate bridge from the top of Hollyburn Ridge:
