2 MMA fighters die after bouts

In June CBC reporting that "An Edmonton MMA fighter who was left in critical condition after being knocked out during a boxing match on Friday has died, his family has confirmed."

"Hague, 34, was taken to hospital in critical condition after being knocked out by Adam Braidwood in a fight at the Shaw Conference Centre on Friday. In a video from the match, Braidwood is seen knocking Hague down multiple times. Hague, who fought out of Edmonton, also fought in the UFC. His nickname was The Thrashing Machine."

The New York Post is reporting "A 26-year-old amateur MMA fighter died three days after he was knocked out during a fight in Massachusetts. Rondel Clark was TKO’d by Ryan Dunn in the third round of their fight in Plymouth, Mass. The fight was part of Cage Titans XXXV, a regional MMA promotion. Following the fight, Clark was transported to a local hospital but then was transferred to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston where he died early Tuesday morning.

West Vancouver woman wins settlement after her assets were seized despite being acquitted

CBC is reporting that "A West Vancouver woman who was charged and subsequently acquitted of human trafficking, and then went on to sue the RCMP, has reached a settlement and received an apology." In 2015 CBC reported that "Mumtaz Ladha, a West Vancouver woman who made international headlines when she was charged and subsequently acquitted of human trafficking, has launched a lawsuit against the police and the province for seizing her assets."

This woman was charged with a crime then acquitted but the police seized her multi-million dollar West Vancouver home anyways after she was acquitted. This ties in directly with my post about how the BC Gang Task Force has become compromised just like the EPS. They are no longer concerned with stopping drug trafficking. They are only concerned with seizing the proceeds of crime just like in Freeway Ricky's documentary.

Toronto Shooting - Hells Angels Associate hit

City News is reporting that "Toronto police are searching for two suspects after a shooting outside a coffee shop at Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke. Police were called to the plaza around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday following reports of shots being fired. A man had been shot in a parked car near the Starbucks. Paramedics say the victim was taken to a trauma centre with critical injuries. A second man who was also in the car at the time of the shooting was hit by shattered glass. His injuries are not life-threatening. Both victims are in their 50s."

Update: Mark Peretz was the target. The Toronto Star is reporting that "One victim served prison time for the botched mob hit that left Louise Russo, an innocent mother-of-three, paralyzed in 2004." That was a Hells Angels hit. Mark Peretz was the associate and Paris Christoforou was the Hells Angel. That means a Hells Angels associate was just shot in Toronto.

Shootings in Everett Washington

We don't hear daily news of gang related shootings in the US here in Canada but they obviously do still occur especially in Chicago. The Herald is reporting that "No one was injured Wednesday by gunfire along Holly Drive in Everett. The shooting was reported about 4:15 p.m. near the intersection with Fourth Avenue W. People in a Jeep and a dark-colored passenger vehicle shot at each other as they drove down the road, said Everett police officer Aaron Snell. Police found the Jeep in the roadway with bullet holes in it, Snell said. The other vehicle was gone."

The paper claims that "There have been more than 35 shootings in Everett since December, and many of them are believed to be gang-related."

In June Q 13 Fox reported that Four teenagers were arrested for a May 29 shooting on Beverly Boulevard that left a 16-year-old boy in critical condition and that police initially thought might be a road rage incident but was actually gang related.

Earlier this year My Everett News reported that With 19 “gun shots fired” calls between December 6th and March 15th in Everett, Police Chief Dan Templeman is expressing increasing concern over gang related crimes and gang involvement in shootings. 14 of the 19 cases did have some ties to gangs in Everett.

When I was in south Seattle back in the /80s we saw Crips and Bloods networking up from LA while Black Gangster Disciples and the Vice Lords were moving in from Chicago. That was a long time ago. Now there appears to be spins off Crips and Bloods as well as Hispanic gangs affiliated with the MS 13 like the FX 13 or the FX3. They are currently at war with the Crips.

New Evidence at the Bacon murder trial

I'm not following the Kling Klung con but I will say this. Kim Bolan is reporting that "The day after the shooting, the witness said he was driving along Highway 97 in West Kelowna with Doug Wheeler when he saw James Riach and Matt Schrader in another car."

This new evidence is consistent with what I previously reported. The trial is about the famous shooting in Kelowna where Jonathan Bacon was killed, Larry Amero was wounded and James Riach escaped almost unscratched. When all the bullsh*t was flying fast and furious, I reported that Matt Schrader drove James Riach to Vancouver after the shooting and stored Larry's boat at his house. This new evidence confirms what I said was true.

Kim Bolan is also reporting that "Video surveillance footage played in court showed five people walking toward the Delta Grand from the direction of Rose’s Pub shortly before 2 a.m., the morning of the shooting, then back toward the pub shortly after 4 a.m. 'I was with Jones, McBride, Manny Hairan and Khun-Khun,' said a witness whose identity is protected by a publication ban."

"In another video from later on in the morning, at 4:22 a.m., three people are seen walking from the Delta Grand parkade toward the entrance of the hotel. 'I see myself, Manny and I believe that’s Khun-Khun,' said the witness. A couple of minutes later, three people are seen crossing Water Street toward Clement Avenue and walking down the sidewalk. 'I believe that’s me, Manny and Khun-Khun,' said the witness."

This also confirms what I previously reported was true. Kim previously reported that "In its opening address, the Crown said Schrader had told an associate of the accused that Amero and Riach were in Kelowna that weekend." The crowns own evidence proves that is a bold faced lie.

The police's own witness repeatedly testified that it was him in video surveillance with Manny and Kling Klung the day of the murder. The police witness was the one that told Manny that Larry, James and Jonathon were in town. Matt did not. When Manny said they got he information from Matt that is not true. The information came from Matt through the police witness.

As I previously reported Matt causally mentioned to the police witness that he was just speaking with Larry and James at the Grand. He wasn't ratting anyone out because they were not in hiding. They were running around loud and proud on that stupid boat trying to pick a fight with civilians. The police informant is the one that did what he is falsely accusing Matt Schrader of doing.

The police are lying because they are pissed Schrader hasn't ratted out any of his former associates. They are fabricating false allegations against him to put his life in danger so he will flip and give them information on his former associates. Go f*ck yourselves. Matt Schrader has left the life and has a real job. Get a life and leave him alone. It's a good thing the court puts witness's statements to the test of believability. Too bad the media doesn't.

Update: Andrea Peacock is reporting that the case is still at the voir dire stage. I'm a bit confused. Evidence at a voir dire is normally under publication ban so why is everyone reporting on it? Likely that means they are not being tried by a jury since you are not allowed to report evidence submitted when the jury was not present. Yet David Giles wasn't tried by a jury and we couldn't report on his voir dire. No doubt he had a separate publication ban that was also in effect. Yet this whole attack on Schrader is suspicious as hell.

Johnny Depp visits Vancouver's Children hospital

ET is reporting that Johnny Depp dressed up as Captain Jack Sparrow and visited Vancouver's Children's hospital on Monday. Now hat's what I'm talking about. Circumstances dont make the man, they reveal him to himself and to the rest of the world. What we do in life echos in eternity.

Fentanyl drug bust in Calgary

Global is reporting that ALERT, Alberta's Gang Task Force, seized over 3,000 fentanyl pills in Calgary. The seizure occurred August 8th after executing three search warrants in the Calgary area. Also seized were 4 kilos of cocaine and 1 kilo of crystal meth. Since the Surrey RCMP are providing police protection to the Hells Angels drug dealers selling fentanyl on the Surrey strip, can we just contract out gang enforcement to Alberta? Please advise.

Fatal motorcycle accident on Deadpool set

Tragically CBC is reporting that "A female stunt rider working on the Vancouver set of Deadpool 2 has died after losing control of her motorcycle. According to witnesses, the motorcycle crashed through the window of the Starbucks in Shaw Tower, near Jack Poole Plaza."

Global is reporting that "The rider successfully completed the stunt four times. However, during the fifth time, the throttle somehow engaged and that’s when the rider lost control of the bike." Tragically the stunt rider, Joi Harris was not wearing a helmet as per instructions from the set.

Maple Ridge shooting

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "One man is in hospital after a shooting at a residence in west Maple Ridge on Sunday afternoon. According to a bystander, a man was shot two times, once in the stomach and again in the upper thigh after he was confronted by a man wielding a gun. The shooting took place in a shed-like structure at the front of the house. When police arrived, they ordered everybody out of the shed with their hands up. The victim was helped out by two other men. He was conscious, coherent and screaming in pain. He was rushed to Ridge Meadows Hospital for his injuries to be assessed."

BC News Feed is reporting that "There's nothing worse than being ripped off by your employer Maple Ridge shooting Dewdney Trunk Rd." Ah yes, we've heard that song before in Haney.

South Seattle's Crack epidemic revisited

OK back on track. Back to the drug trafficking associated with the Vancouver gang war. In my recent post naming the three Hells Angels associates that went to court from the Langford bust I clarified that drugs in clubs or to people who want it and can afford it is none of my business. When someone in a Surrey strip club owned by the Hells Angels sells someone straight fentanyl pretending it's cocaine and kills them, that is my business. When they give crack cocaine to the homeless for free then beat the life out of them for payment, that is my business.

My recent post about how the local police are harassing gang members but ignoring drug trafficking sums up where we are now in Surrey. It ties in the Gary Webb story with the Freeway Ricky story and shows how the corruption has infiltrated both the police and the government to promote drug trafficking and focus on seizing the proceeds of crime. Instead of stopping drug trafficking they collect finder fees for letting it continue. That is what we are now looking at.

This brings us back to the US crack epidemic in the 1980's and the Chuck Pillon story. 2:39 into this Youtube video talks about the crime related to crack cocaine in south Seattle back in the /80's. That's when I was there with the Guardian Angels. The video goes on to talk about Sergeant Chuck Pillon who led a task force disrupting the crack houses' business.

When we met Chuck in South Seattle he told us he had been transferred behind a desk because of the pressure he was putting on the crack dealers. That shows corruption from within. As soon as a cop starts putting pressure on the crack dealers he mysteriously gets transferred.

Chuck Pillon was on a Town Hall Meeting describing the crime associated with crack cocaine at the time. So here's a hero on the front line confronting the crack dealers, disrupting their business and warning Americans about how harmful this drug is. Why that's enforcement and prevention two crucial pillars in the four pillars program. Then all of a sudden he gets transferred behind a desk. When I saw it happen to someone else right after him the pattern was revealed. The real corruption wasn't just on the streets selling crack, it was in police management itself.

Chuck even brought the media into a crack house in Rainier Beach. So if Chuck Pillon was doing such a good job, why did he get transferred behind a desk? Chuck later became an outspoken critic. In his own words he states "My firing resulted from my unwillingness to shut up about the tolerance of drug-trafficking in Seattle." Chuck nailed it.

We moved into Lakeshore Village in South Seattle right after Chuck was transferred out of the area. We moved in right next door to a crack house and led a crackdown on crack campaign. The stories I could tell. In addition to confronting the crack dealers and disrupting their business, we would spend time with the kids and took them to the zoo. A new cop showed up on the scene. He was awesome. He was African American and called himself the sheriff.

We'd wake up in the morning to hear him yelling at the crack dealers making fun of them. He'd have them all lined up on the ground out front of the crack house next door. He'd be laughing at how stupid they were saying I busted you for selling crack last week. Last night I came here under cover and your still sold me crack. The next day I'm hear with a search warrant ready to bust your ass. There's a new sheriff in town he'd say and I'm it. He was hilarious. It was refreshing to see a good cop who cared about his community make a difference.

Then all of a sudden he got transferred out of the area just like Chuck did and I thought to myself you bastards. I knew something was not right in upper management but I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole went until I found out about the Gary Webb Story.

Gary Webb broke the news that the CIA were the ones responsible for the LA crack epidemic back in the /80's. He traced the drugs to Blandon who worked for the CIA. Freeway Ricky worked for Blandon. When the DEA busted Blandon the CIA pulled the plug on the bust because Blandon was working for them. They were using the drug money to fund the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. I certainly support the Contra rebels. I just dont believe the end justifies the means. Operation Fast and Furious showed us that Iran Contra never stopped.

The documentary Freeway: Crack in the system is very enlightening. A DEA agent admitted that after the CIA pulled the plug on the Blandon bust the DEA became corrupt. After that happened their mandate changed. They stopped trying to get drugs off the street. Instead they just focussed on seizing the proceeds of crime. They wanted a peice of the pie in exchange for letting it continue. That is what we are seeing now in Surrey and Vancouver.

The police are letting the drug trafficking continue in public without lifting a finger to stop it and the Gang Task Force is solely focussed on getting criminal organization status so they can seize the proceeds of crime. They are no longer concerned with getting drugs off the street.

Recently the new police chief in Whiterock has woken up to reality and has pledged to target drug trafficking in Whiterock. We'll see how long he lasts. If he gets transferred out like Chuck Pillon did we will know who to blame. If they let him continue then we need to adopt the same common sense approach to crime here in Surrey. Time will tell. It always does.

BTW since Blaze the worthless woman beater is such a compulsive liar and false accuser I will point out the obvious. Blaze claims I have never been to Egypt or Israel and that Curtis Sliwa doesn't even know me. I went to Egypt and Israel a long time ago. I was in my very early 20's. It's not a big deal. I'm sure Curtis would like to forget me but Curtis remembers everyone. If you check the link to a 1988 edition of Karate Blackbelt Magazine, take a look at the name of the person who was the Canadian representative for the group.

The article is about Curtis and lists all the Regional Coordinators for the group at the time. The only reason my name is there is because Sebastian was out of town. I was always juniour to Sebastian who after I went to Ireland and retired from the group stayed on to open chapters in London, Australia and Berlin. Sebastian was solid.
