Call of Duty

The other day a friend asked me why I call people soulja. It's from the song soldier boy. When I first started the blog everyone used to call each other gangster. We'd be like what's up G? That was back in 2009. Times have changed. No one wants to be a gangster any more. After the Surrey Six and the murder of Brittney Irving and Janice Shore everyone has seen through the life and it's no longer cool. Now everyone wants to be a soldier. That's cool. That is honourable. Pimping crack hoes is not honorable. Defending civil liberty is.

Making a sacrifice for someone else is something people in the gang life can't comprehend. They're all a bunch of brainless happy bunnies who think It's all about me. There is no happiness in selfishness and greed. Christ said he who loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Christ also said greater love hath no man than this, that he layeth down his life for his friends. The Passion of Christ yo. Mel Gibson saw it. He freaking directed it. Actions speak louder than words.

Victoria police chief resigns

Speaking of the Friends of Craig Callen runnning for the hills, the Times Colonist is reporting that "Suspended Victoria police chief Frank Elsner has resigned, but that won’t halt the disciplinary hearings he is facing for six allegations of misconduct. The Victoria Police Board announced the resignation on Thursday." CBC is reporting that "The Victoria police chief had been suspended with pay since April 2016."

Frank Elsner is from Sudbury where he "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." This is an example of an undercover cop who goes undercover not because he hates crime because he covets that life. I do not. There is nothing in that life that appeals to me and I think married cops that go undercover to infiltrate the biker gangs because they covet that lifestyle are trash.

Donald Trump arms ISIS

The Independent is reporting that "Donald Trump will use his upcoming Saudi Arabia trip to announce one of the largest arms sales deals in US history - somewhere in the neighbouhood of $98bn to $128bn worth of arms. That could add up to $350bn over ten years."

Although Saudi Arabia is an ali, the concern is who Saudi Arabia turns around and sells those arms to. It's like communist China seling nuclear missiles to North Korea through it's deal to purchase Canadian reactors. Last year Wikileaks reveals how the Clinton's family's charitable foundation received a million dollars for convincing the US to sell arms to ISIS through Quatar and Saudi Arabia. So once again, say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss yo.

Sheila Fraser's review of RCMP lawsuits

Speaking of the resignation of Bob Paulson and Craig Callen. CBC is reporting that The women who were the subject of Sheila Fraser's review of four lawsuits launched in British Columbia about harassment and sexual harassment hope the the federal government and the RCMP will apply all of the recommendations and bring about actual change within the police force. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale asked the former Auditor General to conduct the review after the women contacted him in November 2015, asking for help. They said they had no confidence in the RCMP's internal mechanisms to deal with harassment."

"Sheila Fraser says the four cases illustrate the existing grievance process is "inefficient and bureaucratic" and calls for a panel of outside experts - not police - to oversee harassment complaints and measures to prevent reprisals against those who complain of harassment, and also for health services to be "delivered by an independent external party or parties."

"Fraser reviewed how the RCMP handled the sexual harassment cases of Catherine Galliford, Atoya Montague and Susan Gastaldo and the harassment case of Alice Fox. Her long-awaited report was released earlier this week, along with the report of the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission headed by Ian McPhail." This is an overview of the review Sheila Fraser presented to Parliament and this is a copy of the actual report.

The Postmedia Genocide Continues

J-Source is reporting that "The Vancouver Sun and The Province newsroom is much smaller after today. On March 24, a number of staff were handed their layoff notices. Postmedia's intention to layoff 54 staff in Vancouver, where the two newspaper's newsrooms were merged last year, was announced on March 10. On March 23, Harold Munro, the editor-in-chief of the Sun and The Province, sent a note to the newsroom explaining that layoffs would begin the next day."

The article then lists varies twitter posts from numerous reporters who received layoff notices some after working 20 years expressing their concern with the decision.



Even Kim Bolan points out that the layoffs occurred despite profits made from readers and advertisers. That's because when corporate monopolies are concerned profits are never enough. There always needs to be an increase in profits at all costs. Even at the cost of losing any and all unique identity and the risk of turning all the unique news outlets into one homogeneous clone show of each other. Clearly the clone wars have begun.

Mike Hager came up with an interesting observation. He said the massive layoff was a huge opportunity for other news outlets to scoop up great young journalists. Very true, only what other news outlets? With all the Postmedia mergers almost all the news outlets in Western canada are owned by the same entity. Other than myself and the Gangsters out News syndicate the only independent news agencies left here are the Tyhee, the Epoch News and the CBC.



As I said after the Surrey Leader Genocide, all these layoffs create an opportunity for the private market to start a new news agency. Supply and demand. All the qualified journalists could form their own company and create a new online digital newspaper like the White rock Sun and stand independent of the media merger clone show.

This article fro J-Source is two months old. I missed it because it wasn't in the main stream media. I ran across it when researching a recent obscene article the Vancouver Province ran promoting Wally Oppal again. Wally Oppal was a criminal. That's why criminal respected him.

I have nothing against Kevin Griffin. I'm just pointing out that the recent article he wrote promoting such a flaming scoundrel is a sign of the times with regards to all the Postmedia layoffs within the Vancouver Sun and Province. Everyone is afraid of losing their job and will print whatever obscene trash Harold Munro tells them to write.

I was astounded when the Vancouver sun started promoting Wally Oppal to be the head of the Missing Woman inquiry. That was obscene. Wally Oppal was a crappy judge and did an even worse job as Attorney General of BC covering up th flaming flaws in the BC Injustice system. So much so, Vern Penner and the Aldergrove Judicial review board posted a huge sign on a flat deck truck saying recall Wally Oppal.



Wally Oppal's destruction of the missing woman's inquiry was offensive to the victims, the families of the victims and the public who paid his wages expecting justice to be delivered when he did the opposite. As soon as the Hells Angels were mentioned, he shut down the inquiry and turned it into a less adversarial panel discussion where he could more effectively censor what evidence was submitted to the inquiry. After that he was seen giving a member of the Hells Angels a big hug in public.

So now Harold Munro's clone soldiers are once again promoting the same criminal for an new political position. That is obscene. Perhaps Harold Munro should get his pink slip and they should give the job to Wayne Morality who is much more qualified in the eyes of the public. Now that is supply and demand. If the big newspapers fail to deliver objective journalism, it's time for the consumers to g somewhere else. All the money from corporate advertising will not benefit them if none of their readers believe their offensive trash. Harold Munro, take the buy out and disappear.

Journalist and photographer from Global arrested covering accident in Hamilton

HG Watson from J-Source just tweeted a link to a news report from the Hamilton Spec claiming a journalist and photographer from Gobal were arrested covering an accident in Hamilton.

"While covering the crash, a Global News videographer and freelance photographer were arrested at the scene. The Global journalist was later released. Police didn't respond to requests for comment about the arrests. In a statement, Global News said the agency was 'very concerned by the circumstances' of the journalist's arrest. 'While we are satisfied he was quickly released without charge, the incident merits further investigation and we will be following up directly with Hamilton Police Service,' spokesperson Rishma Govani said in an email."

Update: Metro News is reporting that "A freelance journalist was charged with obstructing police after he and a Global News videographer were arrested while reporting at a fatal collision in Hamilton on Tuesday night. Hamilton police arrested the two journalists around 7 p.m. at Evans Rd. and Highway 5 where a 10-year-old girl died after being struck by a car." I guess the reporter failed to obey the cops direct order to stop filming. That's a civl lawsuit right there. Filming a dead body is in bad taste but reporters have a right to report the news.

Journalist murdered in Mexico

Time Magazine is reporting that Javier Valdez, a veteran reporter who specialized in covering drug trafficking and organized crime, was slain Monday in the northern Mexico state of Sinaloa, the latest in a wave of journalist killings in one of the world's most dangerous countries for media workers. Valdez is the fifth journalist to be murdered in Mexico in just over two months, and the second high-profile reporter to be slain in the country this decade after Regina Martinez Perez, who was killed in 2012. In 2014 the Cartel murdered a blogger.

I dont mess with the cartel myself. Their obscene level of violence mocks God. I'm not going to be standing near them when the calamities strike. Justice will not sleep forever.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson retires end of June

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson announced in March he’ll retire at the end of June. The Toronto Star is reporting that "The looming departure of Commissioner Bob Paulson has prompted some rank-and-file Mounties to call for a joint management approach to running the RCMP instead of the top-down hierarchical system some believe has left it unable to adapt to modern workplace expectations and norms." This is in relation to numerous sexual harassment civl lawsuits the RCMP settled out of court which displayed a pattern of unprofessionalism that permeated the RCMP right up to top management including Craig Callen and Bill Fordy here in BC.

Assistant Commissioner Brenda Butterworth-Carr's promotion to the position of BC's E Division commanding officer has been a colossal step forward. Word on the street is that the infamous swingers known as the Friends of Craig Callen are now running for cover. The question is, will the powers that be let her do her job or will they use her as a poster girl to cover up their mess and tie her hands like they have Duane McDonald and prevent her from actually doing anything while in charge. Time will tell. It always does. Yet the opportunity for a real step forward presents itself.

Bob Paulson talked the talk but he didn't walk the walk. He said he was going to eradicate sexual harassment from the RCMP but he failed to deliver that promise within his own office. The climate of unprofessionalism tolerating and promoting sexual harassment is an easy fix. Finding the political will to embrace the New York model and depart from the current harm promotion model is not. One thing is certain and that is with all the record fentanyl fatalities in Metro Vancouver, the harm promotion of the DTES is not something we should emulate anywhere else.

RCMP watchdog calls for civilian governance

CBC is reporting that "The RCMP will not be able to bring about the necessary change required to address its dysfunctional culture on its own," wrote Ian McPhail, chair of the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP. "A change in governance is required, and such change must come from the outside."

The Georgia Straight is reporting that "A police psychologist who describes the RCMP as a pathological organization has won a battle against the Mounties. The College of Psychologists of B.C. has dismissed a complaint filed by the RCMP against Mike Webster regarding his professional conduct, including his critical comments about the force."

Fatal shooting in Richmond

News 1130 is reporting that "A homicide investigation as been launched after a car crashed on Granville and No.2 Road in Richmond Sunday afternoon. Witnesses say gunshots rang out before a car crashed, leaving one person dead." The Peace arch News is reporting that "Homicide investigators believe a car that had been reported stolen in Surrey in March was used in a fatal shooting in Richmond on Sunday afternoon."

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day:

Leanne Yardley had a mother.

All the fentanyl fatalities had a mother.

Janice Shore had a mother.

Ashley Machiskinic had a mother.

Dianne Rock had a mother.

Chris Mohan had a mother.

Honour them.

No Justice, No Peace.

Know Justice, Know Peace. Word.
