Moving forward: Transforming Whalley into Times Square

Now that we have put the Post Media lies into perspective, we can move forward and get past them so we can get on with business. We've already touched on transforming Whalley into the new Yaletown of Surrey and I would like to expand upon that. I keep citing the success of the New York Model. The transformation of East 42nd Street Times Square (The Deuce) is exactly the same as the transformation of Whalley in Surrey.

Recently Harold Munro's snakes and vipers have criticized Dough McCallum's consideration of denying legal pot store permits for Surrey. As I previously said, if Doug McCallum opposes that for Surrey and council agrees with him they are free to do so as are any other duly elected city council. The question is, now that pot's legal, where do we put them? Let's not put them in Whalley. Lets try and build Whalley into something better.

Right now porn stores and pawn shops are perfectly legal and permeate Whalley. If we want to transform Whalley into the new Yaletown or Times Square we might want to change that. Back in the /80's Times Square was littered with porn theaters. Then all of a sudden gentrification began and they moved Disney on the Deuce. That's like moving a Disney store onto Main and Hastings. We thought they were crazy at the time but it worked.

Crack dealers felt very comfortable selling crack outside a porn theater but they didn't feel as comfortable selling crack outside a Disney store. Gentrification along with police enforcement transformed Times Square into the vibrant tourist attraction it is now. Anyone who wants porn can get it online so these old porn shops have become obsolete and the pawn shops in that area simply facilitate fencing stolen property in support of the drug trade.

Panchos is a complete sh*t hole. That and the Byrd have got to go. Once we get rid of all that trash we can move better business into the area that will help build the local economy not suck the life out of it like a parasite. That is all we've seen for the past few years and we need to move past that. We've already made huge progress on the Surrey Strip. The new city council can transform Whalley. That goal is now within reach. Give it up for the New York Model.

World's Biggest Arms Dealers

Rachel Blevins on Why The U.S. Always Passes Its Military Budget During the Holidays

Love Money ran an interesting series itemizing the countries that make the most money from Arms sales. The Netherlands was up there. China was up there. Russia was up there but the United States was at the top of the list. They make the most money from arms sales.

Their biggest customer? Saudi Arabia who in turn supplies ISIS. Supporting the War on Terror is indeed big business. Just like in the movie Lord of War the United States is supplying both sides.

Last year, 58% of Israel's international arms sales were to countries in Asia, primarily India, which secured a $2 billion (£1.6bn) contract with IAI for the advanced Barak 8 air defense systems. That is something worth buying. Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system is defensive not offensive. It is the logical response to missile threats and bombers. Canada needs this system.

No Surrender founder gets six years in prison

TBM Scandenavia is reporting that "The court in Breda sentenced Klaas Otto (link is external), founder of outlaw motorcycle gang No Surrender, to six years in prison on Thursday. He was found guilty of extortion, assaulting and threatening two car dealers, and laundering 1.3 million euros, NOS reports." This is concerning.

"The court was appalled by the violent crimes Otto was charged with. "He forced his victims with brute force to give him large amounts of money and vehicles. One of the victims was beaten with a cane, locked in a cage and threatened with the rape of his wife by members of the defendant's motorcycle club", the court said. "Another victim sustained permanent injury in an assault and was told that the ears of his children would be cut off."

If you want to leave the life, then leave the life. A lot of old men go through this bizarre identity crisis where they have a burning desire to be someone people respect. Some confuse fear with respect. There is nothing noble or respectable about extortion. There is nothing noble or respectable about theft. There is nothing noble or respectable about gang raping someones wife or cutting someones kids ears off. That is bottom of the barrel sleaze bag.

That is not old school. That is a f*ck up. The Devil's Rejects on Vancouver Island, they are complete f*ck ups. This recent news about the No Surrender crew in Holland is very concerning given the fact that Rock Machine Norway patched over to No Surrender Crew.

This brings us back to Walter Stadnick the small man Anglophone f*ck up from Ontario politicking for Mom Boucher the rapist over in Montreal. Now I have love for Montreal. I have love for Trois Riviere but I have no love for Walter Stadnick or Mom Boucher. There is nothing noble about rape. In BC we are told that rape is against the rules. Evidently not. Walter Stadnick is a piece of garbage because he is a snake in the grass. He's a dirty politician. The French aren't like that. He is not French. Walter Stadnick has not left the life. He is not a role model. He is just another f*ck up like Larry Amero. They're a dime a dozen.

I keep reiterating that I was never a part of that life and I never wanted to be. Idolizing f*ck ups is deranged. Y'all need some time with Dr Phil because there is something missing in your DNA. Ya got no balls. They're not real. They're fake. You are synthetic. You need to grow up.

President of the Devils Rejects charged with murder

CBC is reporting that "The head of an outlaw motorcycle club based on Vancouver Island has been charged with first-degree murder in the 2016 death of a mixed martial arts fighter. Richard (Ricky) Ernest Alexander is in custody pending further court proceedings related to the death of John Dillon Brown." CBC reported that their Campbell River clubhouse was raided in a homicide investigation August 2017. Alexander was the one with the pink handgun.

The Devils Rejects are a Hells Angels puppet club. Rainbow Ricky had a Gay pride parade at the Langford clubhouse April 2017, a year after the murder. That's another step closer to criminal organization status. That murder was approved by the local executive of the Hells Angels chapter that sponsored them. No offense but that guy really does look like a drag queen.

Fentanyl bust in Castlegar

CFJC Today is reporting that "Police in Castlegar have seized a substantial amount of cash and drugs after executing two search warrants at different homes in the city this week. Yesterday afternoon, Oct. 25, Castlegar RCMP executed two search warrants at the same time, at two separate home. As a result, roughly 800 fentanyl pills, 17 ounces of cocaine, one kilogram of cannabis, more than $50,000 in cash, other pills believed to be synthetic drugs, firearms and ammunition. A 65-year-old man, 65-year-old woman, and a 52-year-old man were all arrested."

"The 52-year-old man remains in custody with several drug and weapons related charges pending. The other suspects were released at the scene, according to a news release. Investigators from Nelson, Trail and Castlegar worked together on this search, and police believe this seizure has disrupted a large drug trafficking operation that has been impacting communities in the Castlegar and Trail areas."

Larry Amero's bail hearing resumes

Kim Bolan is reporting that Gumby's three day parole hearing has resumed on Wednesday and will conclude on Friday. Is he a risk to the public? Of course not. He's only a risk to himself. Is he a flight risk? Of course he is. Even more so than Skellator was. Gumby was charged with trafficking massive amounts of crystal meth precursors in Australia.

Perhaps granting him bail would be a good idea. It would certainly save tax payers a lot of money. Only don't give him 24 hour police protection like they did for the Bacon Brothers. Sometimes in life you have to step back and let natural justice take it's course.

Kim Reported that "Amero was seriously wounded in the Aug. 14, 2011, shooting in Kelowna that left Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon dead and Independent Soldier James Riach uninjured. At the time, The Vancouver Sun reported the trio had formed a new gang alliance called the Wolf Pack." Yes, at the time Kim did report that it was a new alliance but everyone knows it wasn't new so I have no idea why she keeps saying that.

Everyone knows that Larry Amero and Jonathon Bacon were close friends long before the Surrey Six. Kim Bolan herself reported that James Riach met with the Bacon Brothers at Castle fun Park when they were wearing Kevlar before the Surrey Six. James met with the Bacon brothers before the Surrey Six as a member of the Independent soldiers so saying it was a new alliance when they were shot in Kelowna is simply not true.

Kim finally admits that Larry and Jonathon were shot in Kelowna "after a weekend of boating and partying in the Okanagan city" which is consistent with what I previously reported. Their presence in Kelowna at that time was no secret. It was their coming out party. They were loud and proud running around like idiots on that ridiculous boat trying to pick fights with civilians. When the police said Shrader was the one that told the shooters Larry and Jonathon were in town, that was a bold faced like. THEIR witness did. Kim printing that lie, putting his life at risk under false pretense, was unethical. At least now we finally have the story straight.

To the ones that I care about I'm going to have to offer my sincere heartfelt apology but I do have to set the record straight. Larry Amero is a piece of garbage like unto Jonathon Bacon. The world is full of good and bad examples. Larry Amero is a bad example. He started off as a rich yuppie kid from the suburbs who stole things because he wanted to be cool. Then he became a low life drug dealer who was consumed with greed and paid for many murders in that industry.

Larry Amero was tied to the Surrey Six. Larry Amero was also tied to every murder Robby Alkhalil and Dean Wiwchar committed because Robby and Dean worked for Larry. Gumby is a suspect in Forrest Schab's murder. His parents must be so proud. I am not. There is nothing in that life that interests me. When it comes to Larry Amero, no respect no surrender. Bjorn Sylvest died of a drug over dose. The Hells Angels wanted their name on his tombstone but the family had to pay for the funeral. At least the UN bought their guys proper tombstones. Surrey Girls Suck.

Putting the Post Media Lies into Perspective

Three days in a row, Harold Munro has posted bold faced lies on the front page of his cheap tabloid of corporate trash. Today he said the mayor of Coquitlam warns that scrapping the LRT in Surrey will delay the project 10 years. That is a bold faced lie. The mayor of Coquitlam did say that but it is simply not true. This is how the media gets away with slander.

It's like when the National Enquirer writes Woman claims she was abducted by aliens. They did pay a woman to say that but what she said was not true. It's like when Kim posted the lies the witness said in court. The witness did make those statements but those statement were obviously untrue. That put the life of a former gang member at risk.

Posting those lies was unethical. As is Harold Munro's ongoing campaign to overturn a democratic election. Tomorrow we're probably going to read that Russia hacked the election in Surrey. That's why Surrey First was wiped off the map. Their corruption and bold refusal to heed the pleadings of the voters had nothing to do with it. Much.

The mayor of Coquitlam has no authority to dictate what building permits are approved or rejected in Surrey. Coquitlam got Skytrain not LRT and Surrey wants the same deal.



Kennedy Stewart *might* support McCallum's transit plan

Now Kennedy Stewart *might* support McCallum's transit plan. Well then we *might* support Kennedy Stewart. I have no problem with the NDP collectively, I have a problem with Jinny Sims individually. She is the dark undertow within the NDP that Laila Yuille warned us about.

The Globe and Mail is reporting that "Vancouver’s mayor-elect Kennedy Stewart has softened his support for a move by the next mayor of neighbouring Surrey to cancel plans for light-rail lines and replace them with more expensive SkyTrain transit, saying he won’t do anything to jeopardize a planned subway for his own city."

Indeed, what Vancouver wants in Vancouver is up to Vancouver just as what Surrey wants in Surrey is up to Surrey. Green Justice will support any candidate from any party that embraces it's policies. That includes the NDP. Right now Vancouver city council has the perfect balance between Green and the NPA. Having a NDP facilitator makes sense. They just need to avoid Surrey First's defiant arrogance. Mark my word, the NDP will stand or fall in Surrey.

Harold Munro's Credibility Meltdown

Clearly Harold Munro has lost his mind. He must have had some kind of nervous breakdown after the collapse of his credibility in the recent Surrey election where his brain dead candidate was wiped out of existence. In today's cheap tabloid of corporate trash he claims that there is growing opposition to the Skytrian in Surrey. ROTFL -. AYFKM?

Doug McCallum was very clear about his position on LRT and the RCMP. He and his party won the election by a landslide. To claim that there is growing opposition to Skytrain in Surrey three days after the landslide election is not just delusional, it is a bold faced lie.

This isn't just Harold Munro, this is Post Media News. Three days after the landslide election Anita Huberman said "“We will be doing our own advocacy… about why we think the RCMP should stay in Surrey, why we need LRT.” Three days after a democratic election Anita Huberman said she will appeal to the government to tell them that she thinks the voters in Surrey are wrong. God Damn you Anita Huberman and God Damn Post Media News for pedaling that sh*t right after a democratic election. This is as dirty as it gets. Save Hjorth Road elementary.

Brian Mulroney invests in legal pot

Why is this not surprising? CBC is reporting that "Former prime minister Brian Mulroney, whose government once introduced legislation to keep marijuana in the same legal category as heroin, hasn't merely become a born-again weed evangelical - he now says Canada is poised to influence the rest of the world to join the cannabis bandwagon."

The Star is reporting that "Former prime minister Brian Mulroney is joining the board of directors of an American cannabis company. Acreage Holdings, one of the largest vertically integrated cannabis companies in the U.S., says Mulroney will officially become a board member in November, when the company will list in the Canadian Securities Exchange."

Brian Mulroney's support of the drug trade is nothing new. He is from the Iran Contra era when Oliver North and the CIA were actively involved in cocaine trafficking which created the US crack epidemic. Lyin Brian's corruption was the reason the Reform Party was created. The Reform Party opposed Brian Mulroney's tax and spend pork barrel politics.

Stevie Cameron said it all in her book On The Take: Crime, Corruption And Greed In The Mulroney Years. "Stevie Cameron's stunning expose of greed and crime in the Mulroney era is a Canadian publishing phenomenon. The widespread corruption the public suspected during Brian Mulroney's regime is confirmed and detailed in this meticulous journalistic account. Now, with shocking new information from Tory insiders, On The Take is even more hard-hitting and revealing. This is compelling, gossipy, required reading for all Canadians."

Now we read that "Mulroney’s daughter, Caroline Mulroney, is the attorney general of Ontario and has been overseeing the legalization of marijuana in the province." This is so the cops and politicians can have a monopoly on the industry just like before.

I want to be clear about something. Now that recreation marijuana has been legalized, there is no such thing as illegal pot. The spin doctors still report that the police are clamping down on illegal pot. There is no such thing because pot has been legalized. What they are really saying is they are clamping down on their competitors to secure a monopoly on the drug trade. That is what they are saying. Andy Richards has no right to complain about the Hells Angels selling pot when he does so himself. That is a complete conflict of interest.

Two other points. If Doug McCallum doesn't want to issue pot permits in Surrey and the current city council agrees with him, then that is their right just like it is the right of any other elected city council. More importantly I want to address the issue of getting rid of the RCMP in Surrey.

Getting rid of the RCMP in Surrey really isn't a big deal and it most certainly isn't controversial. Vancouver has it's own police force. So does New Westminster and so does Delta. Surrey has a much larger population than Delta. Law enforcement continues to exist under those jurisdictions. Surrey is the largest city in Canada that doesn't have it's own police force. Forming it's own police force is a natural consequence of growth. There is no controversy in it.

A Time for Self Reflection

The complete transformation in the Surrey Civic Election landscape represents a good time to pause for some self reflection. A lot of people worked very hard during the election and didn't get in. Surrey is a big city now and there are only a limited number of seats. It's easier for people to vote in slates and name recognition counts. Yet nothing is for naught.

It's always good to take time out to reflect upon one's mission statement. Lao Tzu says he who knows others is wise but he who knows himself is enlightened. When I first started my blog and website people misunderstood the origin of the name. People thought Gangsters out meant outing gangsters and exposing their true identities. Although that is exactly what we did in the beginning as a response to the heartfelt pleas of a grieving mother, that is not what the name meant. The name meant gangsters get out as in get the f*ck out of my neighborhood.

I have always been clear in that I was never a gang member, drug dealer or a cop. I was something different. Back in the day we never got involved with drugs or prostitution. We simply stopped violent crime. Then when the crack epidemic swept the United States back in the /80's Curtis Sliwa led us to that battle head on face to face. I was never under cover. We were always loud and proud. This is our neighborhood now. Drug dealers get out.

Years later I found out about the Gary Webb story and I thought, you b*astards. Then I found out about the 75th precinct in Brooklyn. We were risking our lives confronting the crack dealers up there in Harlem and down there on the Deuce and they were the ones supplying the crack dealers with cocaine. You b*astards. That is why we need a Molllen Commission in BC.

Nevertheless, after my real name was plastered all over the front page of the local papers and my home address was plastered all over the Internet, I decided to amend my mission statement to put my kids at ease. Someone said your just teaching your kids to stand up to bullies. I responded by saying they will never be able to see it that way in this life. It's time for me to evolve. So I adapted the Kerri Krysko model.

I stopped posting inside tips on crime (for the most part) and simply commented on gang news already in the media. My purpose was to encourage people to leave the life. My exit strategy was simple. If you want to leave the life, don't become a police informant, just leave. That is the safest way for you to move on and leave the life behind.

I still do that but I have evolved yet again like Charmander in Pokemon. Given the political landscape it became time for me to launch Green Justice, a third party sponsor. We post policies and endorse any candidate from any party who embraces those policies. That is who we are and what we do. The purpose is to promote small business, defend civil liberty and implement the New York Crime Reduction Model here in Surrey which is in everyone's best interest.

When I was young my father took me to Paradise Valley and sat me down among the trees. He said look at all these huge trees. Someone planted them before we were born and never got a chance to see them grow to maturity. He then talked about the Mormon pioneers. He wasn't a Mormon but he respected what they did. He said the Mormon pioneers came over in waves. One wave would plant crops and another wave would come later to harvest the crops. Then he said to me plant shade trees under which you know you will never rest.

It was good advice. It was all about casting shadows on the horizon. Being mindful of the footprints we leave behind striving to make this world a better place for the next generation. That's what it's all about. Speaking of which, season two of the Good Place is on Netflix now. Eleanor spent her whole life self absorbed not really caring about anyone else.

Then she meets some friends after she dies and decides she wants to become a better person. They even try to help one of their tormentors try to become a better person so they can all get out of the bad place and get into the good place which is really the same place depending on the way you behave and the company you keep. Tahani spent her life on earth fundraising for charity but she didn't do it to help others, she just did it for the praise of the world. She recognizes that now and is striving to be more genuine and sincere. It's all about aspiring to something higher.
