CBC is reporting that "Two Toronto police officers who allegedly ingested marijuana edibles, hallucinated and called for help while on duty Sunday have been suspended, CBC News has learned. Over the weekend, Toronto police carried out a raid at Community Cannabis Clinic, a marijuana dispensary at St. Clair Avenue West near Dufferin Street. Sources tell CBC News the marijuana edibles the officers ingested are believed to have come from this dispensary."
I Heart Radio is confirming that "Two Toronto Police officers have been suspended after allegedly getting high while on duty after consuming marijuana edibles stolen during a dispensary raid."
The Toronto Sun is reporting that "Two Toronto Police officers have been suspended in a story that includes accusations of eating seized pot edibles, tree climbing and hospital visits, too. One officer was allegedly flying so high, he ended up in a tree. Const. Vittorio Dominelli, a 10 year veteran, and Const. Jamie Young, who has been on the force for two years - complained of hallucinations, according to a police source."
The same thing happened in California. After a raid on a pot dispensary in Santa Ana, the police started chowing down on pot edibles. The police association applied for a restraining order banning the video from being released but a judge denied their application. Here's that video.

Wanted on Netflix
Speaking of Netflix, there's another really good TV series on Netflix called Wanted. It's worth seeing. It's a fictional drama about two women who are complete polar opposites that witness a crime then get blamed for it and go on the run. It's a story about good cops and dirty cops as well as the disloyalty among thieves but it's more than that. It's a story about friendship.
Rebecca Gibney is the costar that is also a producer and co-creator of the series along side Geraldine Hakewill a French born Australian actress. Together their characters and friendships are reveled as they face each new challenge head on. It's worth watching so it is.
Shots fired in Fleetwood
The Peace Arch News is reporting that "Police are investigating reports of gunshots Saturday night in the 15800 block of 83rd Avenue in Fleetwood. It happened at around 9 p.m and no injuries are reported. According to one witness at the scene, police found three shell casings on the side of the road. Two vehicles are reported to have taken off from the area."
Update: Surrey house hit with bullets Monday night. The Peace Arch News is reporting that "There are no reported injuries after a Surrey house was struck with bullets Monday night, police say. Surrey RCMP responded just after 10 p.m. Monday, in the 8800-block of 132nd Street. A witness at the scene said RCMP found several shell casings in the lane way."
Huge crystal meth seizure in Myanmar
There you have it. Wherever hard drugs are found, human suffering and the CIA are found along with it. Channel News Asia is reporting that "Myanmar has seized 30 million meth pills along with more than two tonnes of "ice" and heroin in a record bust, the government said on Thursday (Jan 18), as drugs pour from labs in lawless border regions. In addition to the meth tablets, the authorities found 502 kilogrammes (1,104 pounds) of heroin and 1,750kg of crystal methamphetamine, or ice. Myanmar is the second largest opium producer in the world after Afghanistan, but levels of poppy cultivation have declined as demand for methamphetamine surges, leading to numerous multi-million dollar busts."
As we know, the CIA created the Golden Triangle during the Vietnam war under the direction of George Bush SR and used the money laundering from that illicit business to crash the Nugan Hand bank in Australia. The CIA also used investment fraud to raise money for operations.
The New York Times reported on "Olive Yang, the royal-turned-warlord, whose CIA-supplied army consolidated opium trade routes in the Golden Triangle in the 1950s" after she died at the age of 90 last Summer. Olive Yang was from British colonial Burma which is now called Myanmar where the current genocide of Muslims is taking place which the Dalai Lama has spoken out against.
The New York Times article even cites Alfred W. McCoy's book, “The Politics of Heroin" which states the CIA funded it's operations in Burma through the sale of opium. Nothing has changed.

Honduras police chief assisted cartel leader deliver a ton of cocaine
As the corrupt president the people have been protesting against for years is sworn in after a fraudulent election, ABC News is reporting that "The newly appointed national police chief in Honduras, a key ally in the U.S. war on drugs, helped a cartel leader pull off the delivery of nearly a ton of cocaine, according to a confidential security report obtained by the Associated Press."
"Chief Jose David Aguilar Moran, who was sworn in last week, called off local cops who had just busted a truckload of cocaine escorted by police officers in 2013, the report says. Aguilar, who was working his way up department ranks at the time, ordered the lower-level officers to let the drugs and cops go, which they did."
"Cartel boss Wilter Blanco, who was running the drugs, was later caught with another cocaine load, extradited to the U.S. and is now serving a 20-year sentence in U.S. prison. But Chief Aguilar's involvement, documented in an internal report, was never publicly reported. And last week, in a solemn ceremony, Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez promoted him to the nation's top cop, saying that the appointment would further his years-long effort to root out corruption and modernize the force."
Which comes as no surprise since "A former head of a drug cartel in Honduras serving prison time in the United States said Thursday he bribed the brother of current Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez. The claim by Devis Leonel Rivera Madariaga in a New York courtroom deepened allegations he has made of collusion between Honduras’s political class and organized crime bosses." The presidents brother went into hiding in the US after he was implicated in a high profile drug investigation during the recent election fraud. The president, Juan Orlando Hernández, was also accused of taking bribes from drug dealers himself.
Let is be known that the US support for recent election fraud in Honduras has absolutely nothing to do with confronting drug trafficking. It is about promoting drug trafficking. That is what this fraud is really about. God Bless Honduras and God Damn the CIA.
Juan Orlando Hernández was caught taking money from hospitals and prescription medicine and pocketing it for his own political purposes. The humanitarian aid to Honduras isn't getting to the people who need it. Politicians are pocketing it along the way. Teachers aren't being paid. Many of them volunteer. The army went on strike because they weren't being paid so Juan had to cut a quick deal and promise to pay them. Schools are not properly funded. This year I want to highlight how humanitarian aid in Honduras isn't going where it's supposed to go.

The Good Place: Don't miss it
On the lighter side, there's a funny TV series on Netflix called the Good Place. The first season is on Netflix but the second season appears to be on TV. I don't normally watch much TV because there isn't normally anything worthwhile on but I found this series amusing like Lilyhammer.
It's about a self absorbed woman who dies and goes to the good place by mistake. There's no mention of heaven or hell. Just the good place and the bad place. It's not religious. In fact most people who are religious might find it a bit offensive but I personally thought it was hilarious.
It's about two couples who get placed together as soul mates. Kristen Bell plays Eleanor, a feisty streetwise hustler always looking out for number one. She gets paired up with an ethics professor played by William Jackson Harper. A solid brother who does a great job playing a nerd. When she confesses to him there has been a mistake and that she isn't the wonderful person everyone thinks she is, he ends up giving her lessons on ethics to help her become a better person so she doesn't get kicked out and end up in the bad place where there is a lot of horror and screaming.
The other couple consists of a rich do gooder played by Jameela Jamil and a Buddhist monk played by Manny Jacinto. Only our Buddhist monk isn't really a Buddhist monk. He just assumed that cover because he too was there by mistake. He was actually a drug dealer from Florida.
The season finally to the first season was the surprise kicker that put everything into perspective.
It was light. It was funny. It was worth watching.
