Mayor's Glutton Council receives a breath of fresh air

The Vancouver Courier is reporting that "There’s a new chair at the Mayors’ Council. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan was elected to the position on Thursday, defeating incumbent Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who had been at the helm for three years." Thank God! A Christmas Miracle. Gregor Robertson and Linda Hepner are the worst tax and spend lunatics on the planet. Already Dum and Dummer are crying the blues at any potential opposition to their SNC-Lavalin fraud. They both lost their seats leading the gluttons council.

Botox Betty is in a frenzy to get things moving before SNC-Lavalin's corruption trial gets under way in 2018 and before she loses her position as mayor of Surrey since her approval rating has tanked over Clayton Heights and Hawthorne park.

We need to slow the momentum on Translink debt. Every year Translink get a billion dollars a year in a regional gas tax. No private corporation would be permitted to run a billion dollar a year deficit let alone wrack up more debt by handing it over to the most corrupt construction firm on the planet. We need to reassess the logistics on the insane plan to put LRT down 104th between Guldford Mall and Surrey Place. Reverting 104th to a single lane of traffic each way is not progress. It is complete insanity.

How is someone going to make a left hand turn on 104th during afternoon traffic jams when there is no left hand turning lane? Not only will they have to wait until it is clear of oncoming traffic to make a left hand turn, but they will also have to make sure a train isn't coming behind them when they make that turn. That is architecturally unsafe.

People who drive cars prefer skytrain over LRT because Skytrain does not impede traffic. People who drive cars should have a say since they give Translink a billion dollars a year in regional gas tax. Richmond didn't want to replace the Massey Tunnel and Surrey doesn't want a LRT going down 104th Avenue. Proceeding with that insane plot is a criminal act.

Keep SNC-Lavalin out of Surrey.

Vancouver Chinese Lantern Festival

The Vancouver Courier is reporting that "Besides enjoying holiday lights around town and eating tasty German fare at the Vancouver Christmas Market, there’s a new attraction opening to the public today that you can check out over the winter season. The highly anticipated Chinese Lantern Festival is making its Canadian debut today at the Pacific National Exhibition (entrance at the corner of Renfrew and Hastings Street) through January 21, 2018."

I wondered what all those new decorations were at the PNE. Sounds awesome.

Hillary Clinton isn’t truthful, Neither is the CIA

I saw this amusing letter to the editor in the paper so I thought I'd repost it in it's entirety.

"Hillary Clinton is president of her alternate universe."

"The late New York Times political columnist William Safire, when writing of the Whitewater investigation, called her “a congenital liar.” She has a long-time habit of lying and she has never been called to account for lying to herself or others."

"Clinton blames everyone but herself for her loss in November’s U.S. presidential election. Her disdain for hard-working middle Americans - the deplorables, as she called them - was a major factor in that loss."

"For the thousands of people who cheered her in Vancouver, I would quote the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” Well said.

Hillary Clinton and Operation Fast and Furious

Honduras Fraud Update

Well they just announced Juan Orlando Hernandez as president-elect on Sunday and the people are losing it. They are setting fires in the street. This is another example of how the CIA can screw up a country. JOH is not a good man. The people have been protesting for him to resign since the news revealed he was taking money from the people's medical system for his own political purposes back in 2015. He lost the recent election, refused to step down and had the military tamper with the remaining ballots. Fascism and Communism are BOTH bad. Opposing democracy is NEVER a good thing. Neither is supporting voter fraud. That is inexcusable.

CNN is reporting that "The Organization of American States called for new presidential elections in Honduras after finding copious irregularities in its electoral process." The OAS is a regional non-partisan organization comprising 35 countries. They stopped counting the votes right before JOH lost the election. Then they sent the military to collect all the votes from the rural areas and the results mysteriously changed. JOH tampered with the remaining ballots then had observes count what was left of the tampered ballots.

Juan Orlando Hernández: Wanted for Murder and Theft

JOH: No Love, No Respect

Honduras’s Illegitimate Regime Returns the Favor

Honduras: Groups Sound Alarm On Human Rights Abuses

"The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) on Wednesday denounced the torture and deaths of protesters at the hands of the Honduran state, calling for a delegation to be sent to the country to evaluate the human rights situation there. The Commission made the call, they said, having documented a series of demonstrations in several cities in the country (where) serious acts of violence, including death, detentions and property damage (took place and) in which special security forces and the Army were involved.”

The CIA's narcoterrorism in Venezuela

TBM Scandinavia is reporting that "The nephews of Venezuela’s first lady were each sentenced to 18 years in prison on Friday for conspiring to import over 800 kilograms of cocaine into the United States. Efrain Antonio Campo Flores and Franqui Francisco Flores de Freitas were convicted by a jury in November 2016, following a two-week trial." Another Pablo Escobar and Manuel Noriega screwed over by the CIA.

The Independent is reporting that "The head of the CIA has suggested the agency is working to change the elected government of Venezuela and is collaborating with two countries in the region to do so." Mexico and Colombia. Imagine that. The CIA's drug pipeline is in full effect.

In 2002 the CIA was behind the failed coup against Hugo Chávez just like they were behind the successful one in Honduras in 2009. Rense dot com stated "How do we know that the CIA was behind the coup that overthrew Hugo Chavez? Same way we know that the sun will rise tomorrow morning. That's what it's always done and there's no reason to think that tomorrow morning will be any different." The same applies to the current turmoil in Venezuela. The CIA wants Venezuela's nationalized oil and will use murder, deceit and starvation to get it.

Robot passes the torch in Korean Winter Olympics relay

Well the Korean Winter Olympics are almost here! They run from February 9-25 2018. Global is reporting that "Day 41 of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic torch relay featured an appearance by the event’s first non-human participant. Humanoid robot HUBO was the second torchbearer of the afternoon at the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in Daejeon, South Korea. At least 7,500 torchbearers will transport the Olympic flame during its trip around the country. The torch will reach its final destination on Feb. 9, when it will light the cauldron at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang."

I'm disappointed that Russian athletes have been banned from participating in these Olympics. Russia has maintained it's super status in the Olympics even after the break up of the Soviet Union. Holding an Olympics without them is incomplete. Winning a gold medal without them there isn't really a gold medal. Their absence diminishes the credibility of the entire event.

Although I am passionately opposed to Communism, Communist countries have participated in the Olympics since the Iron Curtain. Russian athletes have been dabbling with steroids ever since. Likewise the Olympic committee has been dabbling with corruption ever since. Perhaps we should ban the olympic committee for corruption and welcome the Russian athletes to compete. If they pass a drug test they are good to go. To ban the Russians claiming they have found a way to manipulate the drug testing results is just plain silly.

The Winter Olympics in Vancouver was a wonderful event. All of us who live here and participated in it remember it well. Canada does better in the Winter Olympics than it does in the Summer Olympics. We're better at winter sports. Yet participating in the games isn't about winning medals. It goes beyond that. Cheating to get more medals would be lame. Not letting the Russians compete is in essence cheating. It will not be the same without them.

Likewise, North Korea is welcome to attend. The Sunday Express is reporting that "North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is being urged to let his athletes take part in the Winter Olympics in South Korea and event bosses are hoping the despot's weakness for sport will help them."

"Kim, a basketball fan who counts former NBA star Dennis Rodman as a friend, has boosted spending as part of his ambition to turn the North into a sports power." Great idea. That would be so much more constructive that arguing with Trump. We really need the extremists to sit down and shut up so the rest of the world can simply get on with business.

In contrast the UK Sun, which is a British tabloid about as reliable as the National Enquirer, is reporting that "The potential crisis at next year's Winter Olympics has deepened as serious doubts over USA's participation in Pyeongchang emerged on Thursday. Regional tensions are escalating ahead of the showpiece following last week's ballistic missile test by North Korea. The Games will take place just 50 miles away from the Korean border. And Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the United Nations, admits there is still an open question over the nation's involvement at the event in February. Speaking to Fox News, Haley said: "There is an open question, but it's always about how do we protect the US citizens in the area?"

I'll tell you how. Invite Kim Jong-un to attend. If he's there he's not going to nuke the event. South Koreans aren't beefing with him. They just see all this saber rattling as a US / North Korea conflict. Kim doesn't have a motive to nuke South Korea. He's wants to win them over.

The Iron Dome is already in place. Now it's time for us to get on with the games. The Americans don't want to boycott the Olympics because it would make them look silly and weak. So let's get on with it and invite Russia and North Korea both. China is always welcome and they have the worst human rights history out of the lot.

I am confident in the safety and success of the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. The Pioneer is reporting that South Korea is upbeat and keen to host the 2018 Winter Olympics and I can attest to the fact that is true. South Korea just broke the world record for the largest orchestra. The theme for the Olympic relay is let everyone shine so let the games begin.

Outsider is a very popular rapper in Korea famous for his hit song Loner billed as the fastest rap in Korean. All K Pop is reporting that "Honestly, a lot of different things happened to me all at once all this time, so I took a break. After the hit song 'Loner,' I got vocal cord nodules and enlisted in the army. After two years in the military, I married. While preparing for the marriage, my wife learned she had cancer. Thankfully, my wife has recovered now. After she gave birth to a beautiful daughter, I came back [to the entertainment world] with a happy heart."



Mad harsh respect. Let it shine soulja. J'imagine.



Everything has it's time and place. Freedom is something to fight and die for. However, now is not the time and the Olympics is not the place. I sent my own son to Korea not to wage war but to play music because now is his time to shine just like it is for Outsider and his wonderful family.



Korean rapper Outsider and American rapper Twista go head to head in Star Warz.



Twista is hopeful about the future and so am I. Peace.

Aussie Hells Angel arrested for drugs in Thailand

The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Police have arrested an Australian Hells Angels member and bar owner named Luke Joshua Cook over an attempt to smuggle 500 kilos of crystal meth from a Chinese supplyer into a Thai port.

"Cook, owner of the Piss Stop Bar in Pattaya, was convicted in 2016 of helping Australian kick-boxer and former Sydney businessman Antonio Bagnato flee Thailand after he murdered Wayne Schneider, another Hells Angels member and prominent figure of Sydney's underworld, in 2016."

Exactly what I said. They killed their own guy so someone else in the club could take over his drug business. AFFA not. Antonio Bagnato was convicted of murdering HA drug kingpin Wayne Scheider and Luke Joshua Cook was convicted of helping the shooter escape. Then all of a sudden he takes over the business and gets caught with 50 kilos of crystal meth. Big surprise. No L&R there. It's all about the money. Stop the Greed. Find some self respect.

This is the dark business Thaksin warned about.



Note the bottom rocker on the white guy in the picture supporting the Thai Hells Angel. It says China. He's from the Dragon Riders MC which was established in 2011 on mainland China.

Update: Although Luke was recently charged, the allegation comes from 2015. Luke was suspected of receiving US$10 million from Wayne in early 2015 to buy 500 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine, or "ice", in international waters and store it in Thailand for later smuggling into Australia. So here we have someone who worked for Wayne help the shooter that killed him.

Feds bust Gambinos and Bonannos on Long Island

The New York Daily News is reporting that "Several Long Island mobsters were busted Tuesday on a host of criminal charges including loan sharking, drug dealing and running illegal casinos, authorities said." The US Department of Justice is reporting that "The defendants are John “Johnny Boy” Ambrosio, an acting captain in the Gambino family, Frank “Frankie Boy” Salerno, a soldier in the Bonanno family, and Thomas Anzaone, Alessandro “Sandro” Damelio, Joseph Durso, Anthony Rodolico and Anthony Saladino, associates of the Gambino family."

The Daily Mail is reporting that the Bonnano family and the Gambino family "are both part of La Cosa Nostra, a famed five-family criminal organisation which allows each family to co-exist and operate harmoniously. Between February and June 2016, one undercover agent claims to have bought almost a kilogram from them in 12 different sales."

Woman shot in Surrey

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "A Surrey woman was rushed to hospital after suffering a gunshot wound Friday evening. RCMP responded to a home in the 16100-block of 92 Avenue at approximately 7:30 p.m. last night after reports that a woman in her 20s had been shot." First due media is reporting that she was accidentally shot in the head by her boyfriend.

Canadian Pharmaceuticals Billionaire And Wife Found Dead In Toronto Mansion - Update

Forbes is reporting that "Canadian billionaire Bernard "Barry" Sherman and his wife, Honey, were found dead in their Toronto home Friday, and police are reportedly investigating their deaths as suspicious. A spokesperson for Apotex, the generic drug giant Sherman started, confirmed the couple's deaths Friday." The CEO of a giant generic drug company is found dead along with his wife. What's not suspicious about that? The Great Canadian Pharmaceutical Fraud continues.

Apotex is a Canadian pharmaceutical corporation. Founded in 1974 by Dr. Bernard Sherman, the company is the largest producer of generic drugs in Canada, with sales exceeding $1 billion (CAD) a year. Aren't the mainstream pharmaceutical companies opposed to affordable generic drugs? Aren't they obsessed with rigid patents that gives them a monopoly to extort patients who are dying at will? White collar crime is big business so it is.

I've heard of hostile takes overs before but this is ridiculous.

Drugs made in China: opportunity or threat?

The National Pot is reporting that "The couple were found hanging side by side next to their indoor pool, sources independently told the National Post and the Toronto Sun."

"The Shermans were among Canada's most generous philanthropists and also organized funding for charitable causes through the Apotex Foundation. The couple made numerous multimillion-dollar donations to hospitals, schools and charities and had buildings named in their honour."

Update: The Canadian Press is reporting that "Homicide detectives have taken over the investigation into the deaths of billionaire Barry Sherman and his wife Honey after autopsies revealed the couple died from ligature neck compression, Toronto police said Sunday night."

"Ligature strangulation is a type of strangulation that occurs with the use of a mass that is not the body weight. In other words, ligature strangulation does not require suspension of the physical body. Instead, it requires the use of a cord-like object, such as a rope."

The Israel National News has picked up on the story. Evidently Dr. Sherman was Jewish.

The New York Times is reporting that "Barry Sherman, a Canadian billionaire, generic-drug mogul and philanthropist, once promised that the autobiography he was writing would be a page-turner, packed with stories of intrigue, duplicity and outright corruption by his competition. Now he's dead before the book could be written. Imagine that. Looks like we are going to have to zero in on the coruption he was going to expose.

The Toronto Star is reporting that "It has since been reported that Apotex under Sherman launched hundreds of lawsuits against competitors, including pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer Inc. and Merck & Co., to overturn patent protection for their medicines, as well as against government regulators who made decisions it disagreed with."

The government should not be supporting these rigid patents.

Why Chemotherapy That Costs $70,000 in the U.S. Costs $2,500 in India

Update: CBC is reporting that "Private investigators believe that the billionaire Toronto couple found dead at their home in December were murdered by multiple killers. Their wrists showed evidence that they had been, at one point, bound together. No rope or other materials that could have been used to tie their wrists were discovered, the source told CBC Toronto."
