Edmonton Hells Angel busted for cocaine trafficking

ALERT, the uncompromised Alberta Gang Task Force is reporting that "A joint investigation between ALERT and RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime has dismantled an extensive cocaine distribution network linked to a member of the Hells Angels and support club members. Project Entry was a year-long investigation that resulted in 10 people charged with 45 criminal offences. Those accused allegedly fulfilled various roles within a cocaine distribution network that impacted the communities of Edmonton, Spruce Grove, Cold Lake, Whitecourt, and Grande Prairie. Project Entry resulted in the seizure of five kilograms of cocaine, half a kilogram of the buffing agent Phenacetin, cannabis resin, and a handgun. Multiple vehicles and motorcycles were seized, along with $13,000 cash proceeds of crime."

"At the centre of the investigation was Hells Angels Westridge (Edmonton) member William McCabe. The 47-year-old man from Spruce Grove allegedly oversaw cocaine trafficking operations and facilitated distribution through various communities. McCabe has been charged with instructing a criminal organization. Project Entry also implicated two support club members, Shane Daly and Pascal Jacques, who are members of the Dirty Few Lakeland chapter. Support clubs are typically utilized to carry out lower-level dirty work for the Hells Angels, such as drug trafficking and expanding territory to secondary markets." The Dirty Flu strikes again.

Evidently William McCabe took over the drug trafficking after Dominic DiPalma Jr. was busted. Too bad the BC Gang Task Force is compromised. Otherwise they'd be making real Hell Angel cocaine busts like all the other provinces instead of aiding and abetting them.

In 2016 two Edmonton HAs were busted for possession of $1 million in stolen property

Only rats steal. Ride hard, Die free but God damn the pusher man.

Federal Court of Appeal crushes Trans Mountain approval

The Star Vancouver is reporting that "Three Federal Court of Appeal judges unanimously ruled Ottawa’s attempts to consult First Nations flawed and called ignoring oil tanker risks an unjustified failure. The court quashed the project’s go-ahead until the National Energy Board conducts further environmental assessment and a new consultation process is undertaken, which would delay the already-stalled project by several years, experts said."

"Minutes after the ruling, an overwhelming 99 per cent of Kinder Morgan shareholders voted to finalize their pipeline’s sale to Canada." Here's the bottom line. Justin Trudeau is a dick. He;s not just femmie, he's alt left which makes him no better and no different than the alt right. Nobody likes him any more. He is intentionally f*ck over Vancouver. You can't keep screwing people over without that eventually coming back to bite you in the ass. It's called karma.

Initially Rachel Notley was the root of the problem because she is a raging lunatic but now Justin Trudeau is connected to her at the hip and has completely abandoned the democratic process completely. No pipeline without consent. It's pretty basic. The whole problem started when John Horgan asked a simple question. We are cornered about the volume of tar sands oil that passes through BC. What are we going to do with all the petroleum coke byproduct and who's going to foot the bill for a spill?

Raging Rachel declared, you are going to foot the bill in the event of an oil spill. We're not going to cough up a dime. Well that's not right, says John. Too bad we will run ti Ottawa and force it through without your consent. That was just bad business that was insane. What's even more insane is that Justin Trudeau joined that alternative parade and is hell bent on screwing over British Colombia any way he can. Case in point, the recent drop in gas prices in Ontario.

Justin Bieber spends an obscene amount of tax dollars on the pipeline that already exists. he price of oil drops so the price of gas at the pumps in Ontario drip s but it doesn't drop in Vancouver. That is fraud. Justin Trudeau is perpetuating that fraud.

When someone is trying to sell you something and you say no, you don't want it, the salesman throws some incentive your way to try and win you over. Rachel Notley and Justin Trudeau have done the exact opposite. they has removed any incentive whatsoever and are hell bent on forcing a contract on us that is not in our best interest against our will. Before we take another step on this matter, Rachel Notley and Justin Trudeau need to be replaced.

It's not just another pipeline. It's a pipeline of unrefined tar sands oil. A pipeline already exists for Alberta tar sands oil all the way to Chicago and Detroit. Those communities don't want it because of all the petroleum coke byproduct that is produced which India will no longer take. The Keystone pipeline is already underway. The Trans mountain pipeline is exclusively for the Chinese market. Foreign ownership of our natural resources is bad business.



Justin Trudeau bought the pipeline at an inflated price from from Texas because he wants to sell it to Communist China. That is bad business and is bad for democracy. Human rights matter. Kinder Morgan is way better than Enbridge. Natural gas is way better than coal.



The more Rachel Notley speaks, the more support she loses. Initially I thought twinning the existing pipeline was a fair compromise compared to cutting a new pipeline through an old growth forest. Until Rachel Notley blew it. John Horgan just asked a couple of simple and realistic questions and Raging Rachel lost it. Completely.

John Horgan asked how do we control the volume of tar sands oil that passes through BC? She said you don't. We can pump as much as we want whenever we want. He then asked who pays for a clean up in the event of a spill? She said you do. We don't spend a dime for clean up. That is simply bad business. As soon as John Hogan says we're not comfortable with that Rachel Notley comes unglued and says we are boycotting BC wine. That is when she lost my support.

Now that the court decision has halted construction of the pipeline until a proper environmental assessment can be done she fires back with we are pulling out of climate change commitment. AYFKM? Not only are you going to sh*t on BC but you are going to say F the world and sh*t on the entire planet? Do you have any idea how insane and greedy that makes you look to the rest of the world? You are basically saying you don't give a sh*t about the environment or anyone else on the planet and demand to be able to do whatever you want whenever you want no matter who is harmed by your actions. That kind of short sighted selfishness is unprecedented.

Alberta is a landlocked province. If you want to use our port for your tar sands oil you need our consent. Claiming you can use our port without our consent without paying any compensation whatsoever is simply not reality based. I think we should start buying our oil from Russia and let Alberta's greed wither and die on the vine. We have a port. We can bring in Russian oil tankers here. At least they wouldn't over charge us for our gas at the pump like Alberta is.

Fatal shooting in Windsor Ontario

The Windsor Star is reporting that "A 20-year-old male is dead from gunshot wounds suffered in a downtown Windsor homicide that investigators are describing as a “targeted incident.” Windsor police responded to reports of shots fired around 2:40 a.m. at the intersection of Ouellette Avenue and University Avenue East. Officers arrived to find the male victim with critical injuries. Also shot was a 19-year-old female from Windsor, whose injuries were not life-threatening. The male victim - described as a Windsor resident with ties to the Toronto area - succumbed to his wounds."

Two Quebec Hells Angels arrested for Drug Traficking

The Montreal Gazette is reporting that "Police arrested two members of the Hells Angels on Wednesday, including one believed to be heading an important drug ring in the Saguenay—Lac-St-Jean region. Bernard Plourde, 55, a known member of the Hells Angels in Trois-Rivières, was arrested at his home in Laterrière and will face drug-trafficking and gangsterism charges. Police also raided his house and seized his vehicles. Three others were arrested, including Jean-François Bergeron, another Hells Angels member.

The Toronto Star refers to Bernard Plourde as the head of the drug network. "Last November, authorities made 24 arrests in the Saguenay region as well as Montreal and the Monteregie area in southwestern Quebec. Ahead of a gathering of Hells Angels last weekend, a police spokesman said the Angels control between 95 and 98 per cent of drug trafficking market in the province."

So all the other provinces are arresting Hells Angels for drug trafficking except BC. Things that make ya go hmmmmm. If the Hells Angles control 95 of the drug trade in Quebec, what makes them any different in BC? They're not. The only difference is that Quebec has a task force that investigates organized crime while BC doesn't. At least his bike doesn't look like a Goldwing.

Billy Bowden Busted in Alberta

Global is reporting that William Laurin Bowden, 43, is charged with three counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking a controlled substance and one count of possession of stolen property over $5,000. Billy was arrested in Lake Louie and the subsequent investigation resulted in the seizure of undisclosed amounts of cocaine and crystal meth in three different jurisdictions.

“This investigation followed a network of drug trafficking activity between Calgary, Red Deer and the corridor to Lake Louise, with the same players believed to be travelling back and forth between these locations, replenishing their drug supplies and trafficking those drugs throughout central Alberta.” Why would he bring that sh* to Lake Louise? They don't need that crap there.

Billy is a former member of the Manitoba Hells Angels. In 2012 he was sentenced to 8 years for drug trafficking. Billy was operating out of Winnipeg and Brandon. When the Ontario HAs killed his friend in a HA support group called LHS they told him to suck it up or be next.

In 2007 Billy was busted with a dirty cop named Ken Huston. In 2008 he was busted in Whistler.

Yo bro, you can't sell drugs forever. One day you're going to have to man up and get a real job.

Charges laid in Edmonton Redd Alert murder

Ellie May House was murdered on the Paul First Nation reserve outside of Edmonton August 4 2018. Global reported that Nora Flora Papin, 31, and Neil Benjamin Morin, 33, were arrested at a home on the Cold Lake First Nations and were charged with the second degree murder of Ellie. Papin and Morin are both residents of Paul First Nation.

Previously I reported that the Paul First Nation reserve outside of Edmonton has past history with Redd Alert, a First Nations gang that sells drugs for the Hells Angels. Likewise Alberta National News reported that "The recent appearance of Hells Angels-connected individuals on Cold Lake First Nation in Alberta triggered concerns among community leaders who are bracing for a possible increase in local drug use."

CBC is now reporting that "RCMP have charged two more people in connection to the homicide of Ellie May House, a 31-year-old mother who was shot to death Aug. 14 at a house on the Paul First Nation. Genie Elizabeth Bull, 25, and Lyle Kashten Buck, 23, were charged with second-degree murder Friday. Both are from Edmonton and were arrested after police were called to a weapons complaint in the northeast area of the city on Aug. 23."

"This was the same weapons complaint that resulted in a lengthy standoff Thursday at a home near 76th Street and 127th Avenue, RCMP Cpl. Laurel Scott confirmed Saturday morning. A tactical unit, negotiator and a robot equipped with cameras were used in the standoff. A 40-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to hospital and later released. Hours after the standoff began, two women and a man left the home and were taken into custody.

Redd Alert murdered Janice Nicole Bryant in East Vancouver for the HAs to punish Glen Nelson.

Being comfortable in your own skin

I'd like to give a shout out to Ben Affleck, a superhero we all admire and respect. I'm not much for celebrity gossip. In fact I think people who obsess over the lives of the rich and famous really need to get a life. However, since a few news headlines crossed my desk I will comment on them.

First we hear People Magazine report that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus split up after a year of dating over distance. It was amicable but they couldn’t make a long-distance relationship work. OK a little too much information but good for them. Two wonderful good looking individuals move on in an amicable manner. That's all that needs to be said. Oh but no, the sleazy paparazzi have got to trash things up a bit to stir up controversy so they can make a buck at others expense.

Then we hear that since the break up Ben has been spotted with a 22 year old Playboy model. OK that's really TMI. People have a right to privacy. Oh it gets worse. Then we hear his ex wife and her body guard just dropped Ben off at rehab. Give the guy a break. I mean really.

We are told that Ben Affleck lives in LA near his ex wife with whom he shares custody of their three wonderful children and that Lindsay Shookus lives in New York near her ex husband with whom she shares custody of her darling daughter. Young kids are involved in all of this. The tabloid trash need to back off. The MSM is turning into celebrity gossip.

In July the tabloids went on about how Ben's ex wife didn't want the woman he has been dating for a year near their kids. Ben and Lindsey were not seen together in public since. Meanwhile the tabloids are rolling their eyes about Ben going into rehab again as if we didn't know why. We're talking about three wonderful adults and four wonderful kids. Let them be.

Years ago I applied for a paid position as a youth leader. One of the teenage girls who was also part of the selection committee asked me in my interview what I would be willing to do with regards to talking with the youth about dating. I just shook my head and said dating advice?! Not a chance. I am divorced you know. If you want someone to teach the youth martial arts and take them on service projects I am totally down with that but if you want someone to sit there and talk about dating, you're going to have to find someone else. Needless to say I didn't get the job.

Nevertheless, over the years I have noticed various other people, famous and not so famous, go through relationship meltdowns. We saw Brad Pitt leave a healthy relationship for a passionate affair with a woman who completely screwed him over in the end. Was it worth it? Absolutely not. Even Curtis in New York has been through some pretty bizarre break ups. I'm like yo, I do not want to go out like that. I want to retain my dignity. I want to retain my self respect. After all, it's about being comfortable in your own skin.

Martin Luther King said "This is the judgement: Life's most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others? Anybody can be great because anybody can serve." I agree. Service to mankind is the true measure of greatness, not material wealth. However, I'm at a different place in my life right now. I've served all my life and I do not regret one minute of it. Now, I lean towards Buddha who said "If you can, help others. If you can't help them, do no harm to them." We need to see how our choices affect others. Finian's Inferno. That's what I'm talking about.

I remember hearing a Mormon joke a few years back. "This guy gets diagnosed with cancer. It's fatal. The doctor said he only had six months to live. He tells his doctor that he is considering joining the Mormon church. The doctor says he thinks that is a great idea. The patient then asks do you think it will heal me of cancer? Not at all but I think it will be the longest six months of your life." Mormons are busy. They are very dedicated. Very hard working. Very busy.

I'm not so dedicated any more. I'm more at the age where if you can't help them, do no harm to them. For me it's all about being able to live with yourself. When you look back over your life can you say in all honestly you are OK with the decisions you have made and how they have affected others? Looking forward when it comes to making new decisions and new footprints so to speak, instead of saying what would Jesus do ask yourself "Can I live with myself if I make that decision?" We all make decisions in life and we all face the consequences of those decisions. Not all consequences are bad. Some are good depending on the choices we make.

The bible says a friend of the world is an enemy to God. It kinda makes sense. The world is pretty messed up hence the term worldly. If the world, generally speaking, is evil, you can't be a friend of the world without being evil. They say the three deadly Ps are the quest for power, popularity and praise of the world. Which makes being externally defined somewhat problematic.

Some people are internally defined. They make their own decisions based on what they feel is right. Others are externally defined. They make decisions based on what others tell them is right. That's not a road I'm prepared to walk down. They say if you don't have haters, you never stood up for anything. I have a lot of haters because I've stood up for a lot of things and I'm totally OK with that. As William Shakespeare once said, "To thine own self be true." Peace.



The compassion of Buddha, the truthfulness of Tao and the five virtues of Confucius. These are the principles that I embrace. This is the Ghetto Gospel. Ethics matter. It brings inner peace.

Years ago I was pretty hard on Amy Winehouse simply because she refused to go to rehab. She even sang that catchy song making a joke of it. Unfortunately, Amy should have gone to rehab. That was no joke. Greg Scarnici did a parody of the video showing how absurd it really was. Before her adition to crack cocaine, Amy was comfortable in her own skin.



The fickle mob that obsesses over the new age anorexic models would have called her chunky but she was gorgeous back then. Anorexia is not sexy. Back then Amy was a magnificently talented singer who was at peace with herself. Then something happened and she became addicted to crack. Her physical appearance went downhill fast.

There was a video leaked to the press of Amy smoking a crack pipe. It was heartbreaking for two reasons. Seeing her descend that low was one reason and the betrayal of a fake friend trying to make a buck by betraying her trust was the other. Think of the pressure these people are under. They can't make a move without the paparazzi watching them. Fake friends tag along for the money then betray them at first opportunity by selling inside info to the tabloids.

In the video of Amy smoking a crack pipe right before she lit up she was looking at her wedding picture on the wall. It was very sad. Who do these people have that they can trust? Money attracts fake friends. The same thing is happening now to Ben Affleck. His fake friends selling inside tips to the tabloids need to STFU and mind their own business. Private lives are private.

The bottom line is obvious. People who are comfortable in their own skin and are at peace with themselves don't use drugs to escape reality. They embrace reality. That's enlightenment.

Newfoundland Hells Angel caught with handgun

The Newfoundland Advertiser is reporting that "Bradley Summers, an alleged member of the Hell’s Angels who was reportedly the target of a murder plot earlier this year was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, possessing a dangerous weapon, and careless use of a weapon. The weapon in question is alleged to be a handgun, according to court documents."

Here's the deal. There already is a handgun ban in Canadian cities. Even if you have a firearm licence, you are not allowed to walk around with a handgun in your possession or in your car. This Hells Angel broke that ban. So what are the consequences? Disarming law biding citizens is not the answer and will do absolutely nothing to reduce gun and gang violence.

Addressing gun violence with the New York Model

Canadian Teacher murdered in Taiwan - Update

The Toronto Sun is reporting that Canadian teacher Ramgahan Sanjay Ryan was found murdered in Taiwan. His wife Cat drowned last October. "Taiwanese detectives are trying to unravel the grisly dismemberment slaying of a Canadian teacher whose body parts were discovered in a Taipei park. Cops say they believe the murder of Ramgahan Sanjay Ryan, 43, may have been drug-related. On Thursday, investigators discovered two machetes on a riverbank near where the English teacher’s body was found." Unusual for Taiwan.

Update: There has been some interesting developments in the case. The Taiwan News reported that "Israeli-American murder suspect escapes after being surrounded by Philippine police." The Taiwan News is also reporting that "Reports have surfaced that the two men suspected of brutally butchering a Canadian English teacher in New Taipei last week served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the United States Marine Corps and trained in MMA before moving to Taiwan, where they taught children English at various cram schools."

When they say drugs were involved it sounds like they were just selling pot.

Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

Smoke On The Water. July was flawless. August, not so much. A few weeks ago as the sun rose over the horizon it was bright red. We now know what that means in BC. In means smoke from forest fires. For the last few weeks the summer sky has been clouded with smoke and tonight the smoke has started to descend into the city. We really need to be more proactive in dealing with these forest fires. It is becoming an annual event.

It's heartbreaking to see a forest beside a lake burn to the ground like in the above picture from Peachland. It was right beside a water source. There is no reason for this. We need to install fire hydrants and irrigation for the next generation of tree planting. One of the reason we have so many forest fires now is because of the long dry summers. This can be eased through irrigation.

Several years ago I attended the Joey Verma trial in Kelowna. I stayed at the Bear Creek campgrounds on the west shore of the lake. There was remnants of a previous forest fire. One employee said a few years ago a forest fire in West Kelowna came right up to the campsite. One crazy old man with a garden hose refused to leave and held the fire off single handedly. Installing fire hydrants and sprinklers in forests near water sources will be a step forward for everyone.

We also need a few big ass water bombers the size of a B-52. Justine Trudeau wasted all that money buying a pipeline that already existed when he could have purchased some water bombers instead to fight the fires. That shows you where his priorities are.
