Leave Syria Alone

This one is fishy as f*ck. The Independent is reporting that "The Israeli military has claimed Iranian forces in Syria have fired about 20 rockets at its positions in the Golan Heights. Some of the projectiles were intercepted and damage on the Israeli side was minimal, it said, adding that there were no casualties." The source is the Israeli military. The same group responsible for the false flag attack on the USS Liberty.

CNN is reporting that "Netanyahu says Iran crossed a red line after Israel pounds Iranian targets in Syria. The source is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who sidestepped corruption charges by threatening war with Iran. Lest we forget that Cyrus the great was the one that set the Jews free after the Babylonian captivity. Cyrus was from Iran.

Lest we forget that it was the British and the Americans that overthrew democracy in Iran under Operation Ajax and implemented Islamic extremism there.

This latest rocket attack fails the test of believably just like the recent false flag chemical weapon attack. Assad is winning. He has no reason to inflame the west and justify their involvement. Israel and America want to over throw Assad because he is close with Russia. If you don't want to accept refuges into your country then stop creating them. The people like Assad. We need to respect their democratic will and stop this ridiculous meddling. Jerusalem O Jerusalem...

Guns seized at Pacific Border crossing

Global is reporting that "The Canada Border Services Agency is announcing a significant weapon seizure that occurred at the Pacific Highway port of entry. On March 23, Scott MacCallum Osborne, a Canadian citizen who was living in the U.S. at the time, was referred to a secondary examination while seeking entry to Canada. A dog was also called in to assist. Further investigations found a total of 19 hand guns and 32 over-capacity magazines, hidden behind various panels within the vehicle."

CTV is reporting that Scott Osborne is a self-proclaimed professional gambler who fled to Las Vegas last year because his life was in danger. “In September 2017, Vancouver Police Organized Crime unit informed (Osborne) that a hit had been put out on him,” wrote his ex-wife Vanessa Osborne, in an affidavit. “(The Ministry) said we should move with the children.” His kids were in the car with the guns as he was taking them to visit their mother.

Sounds like he was on the Vegas money laundering run like Geoff Meisner and the Boys found someone to do the run cheaper again. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Third motorcycle crash in Surrey in four days

The Surrey Now-Leader is reporting that "There’s been yet another motorcycle crash in Surrey this week. In this latest of three recent crashes the rider was reportedly taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries. It happened on the westbound off ramp of Highway 1 to Highway 17 (176th Street) at about 8:20 a.m. Tuesday."

A lot of summer soldiers out there that don't know how to ride. Mind how ya go.

3 people arrested after a shooting in Surrey

Global is reporting that "Surrey RCMP has arrested three people connected to a shooting that took place this weekend in the Guildford area. On May 5 2018, at around 1:17 a.m., Surrey RCMP officers on duty heard the sound of gun fire coming from the east side of the Surrey RCMP’s Guildford district office. Officers then patrolled the area and found a seriously injured man who was transported to the hospital. Three individuals associated to a suspect vehicle seen leaving the area have been arrested and taken into custody. Two people have been charged in relation to the shooting and the other was released without charges. On May 7 2018, officers executed search warrants in the 9500 block of 120 street as part of the on-going investigation."

The Translink Tax Fraud Continues

Global is reporting that "The B.C. government has introduced legislation that would allow TransLink to charge a one-time fee to new developments across Metro Vancouver to help pay for the mayors’ glutton council’s 10-year transportation plan."

Translink already receives a billion dollars a year from a regional gas tax above and beyond federal and provincial gas taxes. No private company would be allowed to continue let alone expand operating under a billion dollar a year deficit yet the Mayor Guttons keep on spending.

In addition to the billion dollar a year regional gas tax, Translink receives a tax levy from everyone's BC Hydro bill. Unlike ICBC, Translink is not breaking even it is grossly over budget and no one seems to be addressing that fact. Translink also receives a tax levy on everyone's property tax. Residential and commercial as well as a parking tax. This is tax fraud at it's worst.

It's time to stop the SNC Lavalin fraud in British Columbia once and for all.

Any company needs to be breaking even before it expands and burns more taxes on the dirtiest construction company on the planet that underbids and overcharges government contracts more than Lockheed Martin. We do not need or want LRT to Guildford. Stop the tax fraud.



Taxing new construction doesn't increase incentive to build. New construction creates jobs which in turn pays income tax. Companies that build rental units in Surrey should be exempt from this tax. That would give contractors an incentive to build rental units. Just sayin.

Boeing is good, Bombardier is bad, Lockheed Martin is worse but Translink is horrific.

Man shot and killed during attempted arrest at Vancouver Island ferry terminal

The Peacearch News is reporting that "A man is dead after being shot during an attempted arrest at Nanaimo’s Departure Bay ferry terminal this morning." The police said "the Island District Emergency Response Team and Nanaimo RCMP were at the location in relation to a violent car-jacking incident elsewhere in B.C." The vehicle was stopped by police and a takedown was initiated. Police saw what they thought as a gun and lit him up. It has not yet been confirmed if the suspect did in fact have a gun or if there was an exchanged of gunfire before the police fired.

Update: CBC is reporting that "Mounties in the Okanagan have located a car that may be linked to a man killed in a police shooting at the Departure Bay ferry terminal. Investigators revealed Wednesday that a suspect shot dead at the Nanaimo terminal earlier this week may have been connected to a shooting in Vernon and a carjacking in Penticton on May 7."

Comox Valley RCMP officer charged with assault

The Peacearch News is reporting that "A Comox Valley RCMP officer is facing a single count of assault stemming from an incident during a traffic stop in Comox in November 2017." Apparently during a routine traffic stop the citizen started to record the conversation which angered the officer and caused him to pull the citizen out of the car onto the ground and arrested him for obstruction. It is no secret that police don't like to be filmed or recorded but it is not unlawful to do so. We need more accountability not less.

Daytime Shooting in Vernon Parking lot

The Vernon Morning Star is reporting that "The Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP General Investigative Section (GIS) has taken the lead of an investigation into a shooting near a local shopping complex Monday that has left a man fighting for his life.

He was transported by BC Ambulance Service to the nearest medical facility with life-threatening injuries."

Shooting in North Delta

The Peacearch News is reporting that "According to a Delta Police Department release, at approximately 9:45 p.m., officers responded to reports of shots fired in the 8800-block of Delvista Drive near Brooke Elementary School. When police arrived they located two victims. Both had been shot and were taken to hospital where they were treated for non-life threatening injuries."

Sunshine on Cypress

Yesterday I took advantage of the sunshine and snowshoed up Skychair on Cypress in the melting snow. It was awesome. Then I rode over to Whitecliff to catch the sunset. Vancouver.
