Gas Fraud Soars: Time to take back the monopoly

CTV News is reporting that "Gas prices have spiked in parts of Western Canada this week, with some stations in Metro Vancouver charging $1.46 per litre on Friday. Soaring prices stunned commuters and analysts, leaving the latter confused over the timing of the spike."

There is nothing shocking about the fraud spike. Corporate monopolies are never a good thing. They will charge consumers whatever the market can take. CBC is reporting that "Vancouver has traditionally been subject to the highest prices for gasoline anywhere in North America and this certainly is the case today," said gas price analyst Dan McTeague.

It's like the price of hockey tickets in Canada compared to the US. It's the same hockey league. They charge more here simply because they can. Many years ago, when John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil used hostile take overs to obtain a monopoly on the oil industry in the US, the Supreme Court cited anti trust laws and deemed that monopoly illegal. Times have changed. Now dirty politicians line their pockets with campaign contributions and say corporate monopolies are good. No they are not. They destroy the free market and the democratic system.

Corporate monopolies are also bad in the News industry because they destroy the freedom of the press. Today the Post Media News monopoly was working overtime on the propaganda in more ways than one. They cited one "analyst" and said we just have to get used to the spike in gas prices trying to brain wash us into submission. No we do not. We could do what Norway did and nationalize our oil. That would make sense. The only time a corporate monopoly is good is when the consumers are shareholders in that monopoly. What we have now is NOT a free market.

Allowing the oil companies to form a monopoly was bad enough. Giving that monopoly to Communist China was even worse. It's time to stop the fraud and take back the monopoly once and for all just like Norway did. That would be in consumers and taxpayers best interest.

What Canada and Alberta could learn from Norway

Surrey RCMP seize another spud gun

The absurdity of the fraud just never ends. The Surrey RCMP sent out a press release bragging about seizing "a loaded semi-automatic pistol, 'suspected' illicit drugs and a large amount of cash during a traffic stop earlier this month." Take a look at the gun. It's tiny. A freaking spud gun. Once again the Surrey RCMP make absolutely no attempt to disrupt drug trafficking. Their only concern is to seize the proceeds of crime and take guns away from HA rivals while they provide police protection for Hell Angel drug dealers selling fentanyl on the Surrey strip and turn a blind eye to the massive amounts of firearms HA associates hoard. God help us. The Surrey RCMP won't. The RCMP and the BC Gang Task force hasn't lifted a finger to arrest Hells Angels dealing drugs since the OMGU was disbanded. Stop the fraud and bring back the OMGU.

Bank robbers arrested in New Brunswick after stopping at Tim Horton's

CBC is reporting that "A man and woman allegedly fleeing a bank robbery were arrested in Bouctouche, N.B., on Monday after they stopped at a Tim Hortons drive-thru. At least six police cars swooped in on the suspects before they had a chance to place an order. Several thousand dollars have been recovered, the RCMP said. A 24-year-old man and 26-year-old woman, both from Moncton, face charges." Only in Canada. CBC posted a video of the arrest.

Lunar Eclipse January 31st

NASA is reporting that "The full Moon is about to pass through the shadow of Earth, turning the normally gray lunar disk a lovely shade of coppery-orange. When should you look? For people in the USA, the answer is Wednesday morning, Jan. 31st, just before sunrise."

2 Toronto police officers suspended after allegedly ingesting pot, hallucinating while on duty

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.
