Setting the Record Straight

Since I have people in my grill on both sides of this debate, I will clarify my position to set the record straight. I do not believe the Hells Angels are a criminal organization collectively despite the fact that many members are criminals and do business in the name of the club. I believe the criminal org test should be conducted on a chapter by chapter basis.

Just so we are clear, my disdain for the Kelowna chapter has not diminished. The David Giles wire tap showed us that not all members are involved in criminal activity but anyone who does use the name of the club has to have permission from the local executive. So when the Kelowna chapter murdered Britney Irving, the local executive had to have approve if not order that murder. That makes the entire executive guilty of conspiracy to commit murder just like when the East Vancouver chapter ordered the murder of Paul Percy Soluk at a crack house in Surrey.

The regular members become culpable when they elect and sustain that kind of an executive.

The Hells Angels have been collectively involved in the Surrey drug trade since the Surrey House of Horrors. The Hells Angels were responsible for the Surrey Six. Jamie Bacon was not trying to tax Cory Lal on behalf of the Triads. The Triads wouldn't give an idiot like Jamie Bacon the time of day. Jamie Bacon tried to tax Cory Lal because he was being taxed by the Hells Angels.

Like I keep saying, drugs in clubs or to people who want it and can afford it is none of my business. Giving the homeless crack for free then beating the life out of them afterwards for payment is my business. If you don't front addicts drugs, there are no drug debts. What they did to Janice Shore is my business. Terminating Larry Mizen's contract in the way that they did was bullsh*t because Lenny the Weasel knew exactly what Larry was doing at the time. They only terminated his contract after what he was doing went public and they got bad press. Lenny was ultimately responsible for what happened to Janice.

Selling people fentanyl, telling them it's cocaine, is my business.

Giving sex trade workers drugs then taking all their money when they get a trick is not consensual. It is human trafficking. The Hells Angels are involved in the Surrey prostitution trade and the police are standing beside them watching it. The police complaining about a firefighter posing with a member of the Hells Angels is insanely hypocritical when they refuse to arrest the drug dealers and pimps on the Surrey strip that brutalize the homeless on a daily basis.

The Dianne Rock story is my business. Diane Rock claimed she was gang raped on the Pickton farm by bikers and cops. Not all cops gang raped Dianne Rock but some did. Likewise, not all Hells Angels gang raped Dianne Rock, but some did. Piggy's Palace was a sleazebag dive after hours run by Dave Pickton for the Hells Angels.

Jesse's after hours was fine. Piggy's Palace was not. When witnesses claimed to have seen a picture of Dave Pickton and Coquitlam Cop Jim Brown in a threesome, the Coquitlam RCMP kicked in the whistleblower's door and destroyed the evidence. When the Missing women's inquiry heard that the Hells Angels were involved, Wally Opal shut down the inquiry.

The New York model confronted police corruption and street level drug trafficking. I was there. I saw it. That is the model that I support. Ever since the OMGU was disbanded after the David Giles drug bust and the Johnny Newcome stolen car, bike and boat ring in Kelowna, gang enforcement in BC has been compromised. Gang enforcement in BC is just a bullsh*t smoke and mirrors PR stunt. Just so we are clear.

Operation Fast and Furious is still in effect

The Canadian Press is reporting that "Edgar Valdez Villarreal, known as "La Barbie" because of his light eyes and complexion, was sentenced to serve 49 years and one month and was also ordered to forfeit $192 million, which prosecutors say is a conservative estimate of the value of the cocaine Valdez was responsible for importing into the United States."

"Valdez, 44, was born and raised in the border town of Laredo, Texas, and began dealing marijuana when he was still a linebacker on the football team, prosecutors said. He climbed the ranks of the Beltran Leyva cartel at a time when the gang's leaders were associated with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and the Sinaloa Cartel, they said."

Interesting to note that although the CIA and the ATF were supplying the Sinaloa Cartel with guns and were bring back tons of cocaine into the United States as payment in Operation Fast and Furious, no one in the CIA or the ATF did any time over that. El Chapo and La Barbie were working for the CIA just like Manuel Noriega and Pablo Escabar. All these big names take the fall but the CIA and the ATF's drug trafficking network continues uninterrupted.

El Chapo had a .50 cal sniper rifle from Fast and Furious

Kamloops shooting

Kamloops this Week is reporting that "Kamloops Mounties say they have found both vehicles linked to a shooting in Sahali on Monday, but added no arrests have been made. Police were looking for suspects in the shooting, which took place at a busy intersection near Thompson Rivers University at 1:25 pm. Shelkie said police were told a person in a vehicle had shot a firearm at someone in another vehicle near the intersection of McGill Road and Summit Drive."

"Shelkie said the suspect vehicle is described as a black pickup Escalade with an Alberta licence plate. She said there appeared to be two people in the vehicle, both wearing bandanas over their faces. The victim shot at was in a small silver car, which had one or more of its windows damaged by the gunfire."

Konaam Shirzad was shot dead in Kamloops September 2017. Konaam was a cofounder of the Red Scorpions back when it used to work for the UN before the Surrey Six when it was taken over by the Hells Angels. Sources clam that although Konaam had left the life, he kicked the Cub Pack out of Kamloops which provided a motive for the shooting.

Clay Roueche continues to shine

Clay Roueche has become quite the artist. After being in that Rolling Stone article, the local icon has spent a lot of time in a US prison after getting completely shafted when his plane to Mexico was rerouted to land in the US so the authorities could arrest him there.

The Rolling Stone article referred to Clay as Boss Weed and described "How a blue-collar kid from Chilliwack, British Columbia, forged his own samurai code and raw ambition and became the King of B.C. Bud." If Marc Emery was the prince of pot, Clay Roueche was the king.

I'm certainly not saying I support criminal activity nor am I saying that I agree with everything the UN did because I don't. I am simply pointing out that there is a colossal difference between Clay Roueche and the swine flu known as the Bacon brothers. Clay is respected the pigsh*t is not. Clay is in a completely different league than the Bacon brothers. They are worlds apart.

I have always believed that no matter what your past, you have a spotless future. Likewise, Clay affirms "no matter what a person's past may have been, their future is whatever they choose to make it." On that we agree. One of his recent prints states that "Circumstances don't make the man; they make him aware of who he is." On that we also agree.



Clay's understanding of Eastern philosophy comes from his background in the martial arts as does mine. I am no Clay Roueche. I am just a ghetto thug that has spent his life on the other side of the battlefield so to speak. Yet there is a time and place for all things. A time for war, a time for peace, a time to fight and a time to forgive.

George Christie and I have similar ideals. That is why I endorse him. As does Ralph Natale. The movie, The Last Don Standing about the Ralph Natale story is in the works and will be released soon. These men I endorse. Michael Dowd I do not. Creeps like Michael Dowd are part of the problem not part of the solution.

When this blog first started it had two founding premises. The first was that the Hells Angels are a criminal organization. The second was like unto it, that the CIA is also a criminal organization. I have amended my first premise. The second premise stands. Not all Hells Angels are criminals. Many are. No one cares about pot. People care about crack, crystal meth and most of all fentanyl. Those drugs are killing people at a record rate.

The UN did not sell Leanne Yardley fentanyl telling her it was cocaine. The Hells Angels did. I don't agree with everything the UN did but at least they were honest in their dealings. They didn't play both sides like the others did. The Hells Angels used Glen Nelson and the Redd Alert to take back all the drug dealers in the DTES. After Glen became too powerful they executed his wife to keep him in line. That was obscene.

When pot is legalized in Canada both the Hells Angels and the UN have a right to sell it. They each have a name and a brand that consumers will embrace. No one in the 420 movement is going to want cop pot. That conflict of interest is just too dirty to stomach.

The Book of Indomitable Virtues by Clay Roueche is available online.

Tom Gill is is part of the problem

Without question Surrey First has been Surrey's Worst when it comes to fiscal responsibility. Their motto has been tax and spend, spend, spend. Linda Hepner is at the lowest approval rating ever and is not running for reelection. After her pal Mayor Moonbean was defeated as Chair of Translink, she decided not to run for her position there as well. Linda Hepner and Gregor Robertson from the Mayor's Glutton council have been icons promoting the Translink tax and spend fraud and the public has had enough. Tom Gill has supported Linda Hepner all the way.

During the controversial Mega Casino vote in south Surrey when Dianne Watts choked at overwhelming public opposition, Tom Gill was defiant and supported the project despite the objections of everyone there and the entire Sikh community.

During the money laundering at Campbell Heights, steam rolling over public outcry over Hawthorne park and Clayton Heights, Tom Gill was there defying the public will.

When the local businesses and residents called for a crack down on the public drug dealing on the Surrey strip Linda Hepner did the opposite and opened up a safe inhalation site for addicts to smoke crack before they rob the local businesses. Tom Gill was there.

Clearly Tom Gill has been part of the problem not part of the solution.

Tom Gill was also there during that fraudulent rebuild of the new parking lot at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Misappropriation of health care dollars is obscene. Surrey First has been Surrey's worst.

Scandal-plagued SNC-Lavalin remains a major force in B.C.

"SNC-Lavalin has done more to bring Canadian engineering into disrepute than any company has ever had the misfortune to do in the history of Canada,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said at a January 13, 2014, city council meeting. “This is one of the few Canadian companies who could attain the high goal of being banned for 10 years by the World Bank for corruption. This is a company that is up to its earlobes in corruption in Montreal.”

Proportional Representation is not Proportional

BC wil have yet another referendum on Proportional Representation after it failed twice due to the pleading of Andrew Weaver. Proportional Representation is not Proportional. I do not support it. It's how Doug Ford won the PC leadership over Christine Elliott. Doug Ford squeaked out ahead of Christine Elliott with the majority of riding points, while Elliott won more votes overall.

The candidate with the most votes should win the riding.

Vancouver rises to the challenge

Update: Tragically Ian Campbell announced he is no longer in the running for mayor.

CBC is reporting that "Vision Vancouver, the party that currently holds the mayor's chair as well as a majority on council, has selected Ian Campbell as its candidate to replace retiring Mayor Gregor Robertson. Vision co-chair Michael Haack says Campbell, a hereditary chief of the Squamish Nation, has been acclaimed as the Vision candidate."

A hereditary chief from Squamish First Nations that lead the court challenge against the Trans Mountain pipeline. I'd say he's a shoe in. I predict a landslide victory. Third time lucky. The previous two Campbells who were mayors of Vancouver both left us with a miserable legacy. This Campbell looks like he could very well restore justice to the fallen city. Gordon Campbell killed BC Hydro. Larry Campbell's pharmaceutical fraud created the harm promotion epidemic that has seen metro Vancouver have the highest drug overdose rate in the country.

The Squamish First Nation includes North Vancouver. They own the land to Park Royal Mall and lease it out. I was born in North Vancouver. My father was an elementary school principle in the North Vancouver school district. He taught me at a young age to respect the ancestral spirit of Vancouver. He would bring home carvings and paintings First Nation students would give him. My favorite was the talking stick used to keep order in meetings.

My father would take me to watch the sunset at White Cliff park and read to me the Legends of Vancouver as recorded by Pauline Johnston. Siwash rock has a distinct legend of nobility behind it. The Pauline Johnston memorial is beside Siwash Rock at third Beach in Stanley Park.

Joe Capilano and Chief Dan George are famous local icons in Vancouver's history. The Lions in Vancouver were previously referred to as the Sisters. They look like two lions to me. When I look at the Lions I think of Joe Capiliano and Chief Dan George watching over us on the other side of the veil. This is their Vancouver too. We share our home with it's ancestral spirit. My father used to like to take pictures of the Lions from Cleveland Dam. I like to take pictures of them from the top of Sky Chair on Cypress. From there you can see the Lions face to face. All my relations.

Ontario elects Doug Ford

Ontario just elected Doug Ford. I supported Christine Elliott. Doug Ford promised to clean up the Hydro mess. How's he goign to do that? By privatizing it? That is what caused the problem in the first place just like Enron. He promised a drastic reduction in the price of hydro and gasoline. How's he going to do that? By nationalizing the oil?

Privatizing Hydro has always been a source of problems. That is what caused the BC Hydro tsunami of deferred debt. Private companies are mandated to make a profit. Gordon Campbell privatized the power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates. As Norm Farrell pointed out, independent power producers have overcharged tax payers almost $5 billion above market value since 2004. Enron was a national disaster.



The Toronto Star reported that "Why have hydro bills in Ontario doubled? Why is electricity more than double Manitoba’s rate and almost double Quebec’s rates? It’s not a mystery. Hydro deregulation, an Enron designed electricity market and a 'for profit' electricity system is the real reason for ballooning hydro bills." Mike Harris started the problem. Kathleen Wynne finished it.

Fatal shooting in Chilliwack - Update

The Peacearch News is reporting that "One man is dead after what appears to be a targeted homicide at a house on Wellington Avenue in Chilliwack early Thursday morning. When Chilliwack RCMP officers arrived at the scene in the 45000-block of Wellington at approximately 5 a.m. on June 7, emergency personnel were already treating a victim suffering life-threatening injuries. The victim succumbed to his injuries at the scene."

Possible shootout on residential street downtown Chilliwack

BC Local News is reporting that "There appears to have been gunshots fired involving at least one vehicle on a residential street downtown Chilliwack on Friday afternoon. A neighbour said they heard vehicles crashing and shots fired some time after noon on a quiet stretch of Reece Avenue between Young Road and Cook Street. And another neighbour may have captured a victim or suspect car fleeing the scene" near the homicide on Thursday.



Last summer a Hells Angels associate from Calgary shot dead in Chilliwack. In this recent Chilliwack shooting, Nicholas Cross was murdered. Kim Bolan pointed out that Nic's brother Clayton Eheler was named as an associate of James Riach in court documents and was charged with shooting Ciaran D’Monte from the UN in 2006.

In March the Chilliwack Progress reported that "A known drug dealer in a known drug house, Cody Isaacson died after more than a dozen bullets were sprayed into the front bedroom and front door of the notorious house at the corner of Broadway and Cedar Avenue around 6 a.m. on Jan. 31." A public shooting of a known drug dealer in a known drug house.

Three charged after guns, drugs seized from Oshawa home linked to Hells Angels

The Toronto Sun is reporting that "A woman and two men are facing a dozen charges each after searches at an Oshawa home allegedly linked to the Hells Angels. OPP say weapons, ammunition, drugs and outlaw motorcycle gang paraphernalia were seized."

CBC is reporting that "Last Thursday, the OPP's organized crime enforcement bureau and its biker enforcement unit, along with the help of Durham Regional Police's tactical unit, seized a .380 calibre semi-automatic pistol, a Ruger Mark II .22 calibre semi-automatic pistol, ammunition, drug paraphernalia and about 500 millimetres of GHB, commonly known as Liquid Ecstasy." GHB is not known as liquid Ecstasy, it's known as date rape drug.

Notice that Ontario has a Biker Enforcement Unit and BC does not. BC needs to bring back the OMGU. All these fake press releases mean nothing. Bring back the OMGU and target street level drug trafficking. Walk the walk don't just talk the talk.

The Oshawa Hell Angels have a history of drug trafficking. Their clubhouse was seized. A dirty cop was busted as well. A Durham narcotics officer in Oshawa was charged with drug trafficking. Last year two other Durham police officers were also charged with drug trafficking.

As I have said before, the New York Model targeted police corruption and street level drug trafficking. Hells Angels associate Sean Heickert set off the Winnipeg Gang War after he killed one of their own from a HA support group so the Ontario Hells Angels could take over the Thompson drug trade from the Winnipeg Chapter. The police claim his own brother James Heickert a full patch member of the Oshawa Hells Angels was invloved in a murder plot to kill his brother Sean. Pretty dysfunctional. Zeneli worked for the Winnipeg HAs. He was not a rival.

The Toronto Sun is reporting that it was a murderous May in Ontario that saw nine people murdered in 24 days.
