Forgiveness brings Peace

I'm not a very forgiving kind of guy for the most part. I'm a bit cynical in my old age. Once bitten twice shy. Twice bitten and it's go f*ck yourself. I believe in the Christian principle of repentance and the Christian principle of forgiveness but I believe there is a process to both.

There's a young guy at the gym I always go out of my way to say Hi to. He's very friendly. From our previous conversations I became aware that he was a Christian. The other day I made the mistake of wishing him a Merry Christmas. "Oh I don't celebrate Christmas" he said.

I was a bit startled because I knew he was a Christian. Usually its non Christians that get offended by the term but even they are very receptive to it. He goes off about how Jesus wasn't born at Christmas it was just a pagan holiday they assigned to Jesus' birth. I'm like yeah, we all know that but nobody cares. It's a season of good will. There's nothing bad about Santa. Then he goes off about how Santa is spelt like Satan and I just gave him that AYFKM look.

I'm like for me that's a little bit extreme and I shun extremism. It's like those Christians who say you can't have pictures of Christ up on your wall. For me that is weird and extreme. It completely misses the point. He asked me if I was a Christian and I said yes then hesitated. Well kind of. Certainly not like that kind of Christian.

Forgiveness is a fundamental aspect of Christianity. The wages of sin is death and no one is without sin so we all need an atonement. We all need to be forgiven. Martin Luther King said the old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

The Lord's Prayer says forgive us our trespasses as we forgive others who trespass against us. I understand that principle but I also understand how that principle can be abused. That's how some people become door mats for others to walk on and stay in abusive relationships because of it. That kind of exploitation doesn't do anyone any good.

Martin Luther King also said "I've seen too much hate to want to hate and every time I see it I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear." Obviously holding on to hate isn't healthy. As Buddha pointed out it's like holding on to a hot coal which simply burns oneself.

I look back over my life and I look at examples of when people have tried to f*ck me over and I can honestly say I have no hard feelings. It's water under the bridge. I wish no harm upon them. That doesn't mean I have the slightest desire to get back together with that person because that simply isn't going to happen. We can all learn from the past and move forward is positive healthy directions. Yet forgiveness does bring peace. Often the hardest person to forgive is ourselves.

Maybe this year it's time to forgive ourselves and let the past go so we can finally be free.

Fentanyl in Fort Mcmurray tied to the Hells Angels

My McMurray is reporting that "The Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) has issued an arrest warrant for JC after they seized fentanyl and a handgun from a home in Eagle Ridge Dec. 15, 2018. The 45-year-old man is suspected of being involved in drug trafficking activities and has previous criminal convictions for similar offences. A drug trafficking investigation led the Wood Buffalo RCMP to provided assistance during the seizure which was the result of a search warrant executed at the home."

"ALERT’s Fort McMurray organized crime and gang team seized 42 grams of suspected fentanyl powder, a loaded handgun with its serial number removed along with ammunition and one person was arrested. A 37-year-old woman was arrested inside the home and charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, possession of proceeds of crime, five firearms-related offences, and causing a child to be drug endangered. There were two children living at the home where the fentanyl was found. In order to protect the children’s identity, the accused women is not being named."

I intentionally held back reporting on this until after Christmas because the guy has a little girl and it would suck being in prison for Christmas as it does for everyone who is in prison for Christmas. 42 grams isn't much and it likely wasn't within reach of the kids but Fentanyl is fatal. No one should be selling that. I realize times are tough but the bottom line is that if you want to be a Dad to your daughter you need to find another career.

I left the guy's name out of my report because I want to give the guy a chance at getting a real job. I will point out however, that this is not his first offense and that I have blogged about him before. JC received a 14 year sentence for drug trafficking in Fort McMurray where he was described as a cocaine kingpin for the Edmonton Hells Angels.

We will note that the Hells Angels convicted in that case were using their children as pawns to gain sympathy from the court. We will also note that while in prison, JC extorted a prison guard into supplying him with drugs in prison. "Johnstone testified he was checking JC's cell and the inmate blocked the door and told him he knew his address and phone number and his mother’s address. Johnstone said the large and muscular convicted cocaine kingpin then told him that if he didn’t bring in a package for him, someone would be “paying my mom and I a visit.”

Once again we have the Hells Angels using kids as pawns while they threaten other people's families to further the drug trade. Those members are what the real world refers to as POS. History has recorded that. JC is connected to Jared White who was charged in the murder of Ashley Chisholm and Patric Felix, another Fentanyl supplier in Fort Mac. This is JC's last chance. Get out now while you still can. He who lives by the sword will die by it. Word.

Calgary Police shoot Woman dead on Christmas Day

Global is reporting that "A woman from Manitoba has been identified as the person shot and killed by Calgary police on Christmas day. Family and friends have identified 29-year-old Stacey Perry as the woman killed following what police say was several hours of erratic driving."

Sounds a bit excessive to me. Their story is somewhat questionable.

Fatal shooting in North Vancouver

Global is reporting that "The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called to a North Vancouver residential building following a fatal shooting on Christmas night. One person is dead and another injured after a shooting in the 600-block of Seylynn Crescent near Keith Road and Mountain Highway at about 7:30 p.m. The building was on lockdown for a couple of hours, as dozens of police officers and a K-9 unit entered the building. Witnesses say they saw two men being escorted outside the building by police with guns drawn."

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Three bullet holes are seen in the passenger window of a black Range Rover while it is removed from the parkade of the Compass condo at 680 Seylynn Crescent where a shooting occurred in the parkade of the building in North Vancouver, BC, December, 25th 2018." A shooting on Christmas day? Idiots.

CTV is reporting that the victim in the fatal Christmas Day shooting was 25 year old Rock Habib-Joumaa. He is known to the police but does not have a criminal record, and the police believe the shooting was targeted. The North Shore News is reporting that "This is the second gang hit to occur within the same development. On Dec. 22, 2017, gang associate Gavinder Grewal was shot and killed in his rented penthouse on the property."

Snow at Hollyburn Lodge

It's raining in the city but there's snow on the mountains in Vancuver.

Christmas Struggles

This year I'd like to give a shout out to all those who struggle at Christmas. Someone I know recently lost their son to fentanyl. Christmas for them and the many other families who have lost loved ones to fentanyl will be a very sad time. Fentanyl is a horrible drug. Drug dealers that sell it to customers unknowing are complete scum bags. It has become an epidemic of exploitation.

Everyone wants to blame China for fentanyl but the opioid crisis in the US wasn't created by China it was created by the CIA and the allied invasion of Afghanistan. George Bush Sr. was the one that got the agency addicted to drug trafficking in Vietnam. What the CIA did secretly in Vietnam they now do openly in Afghanistan. It's no longer a secret.

Yet there are many different kinds of struggles this time of year. The insane cost of housing is sucking the life and the joy out of Christmas for many. Back in 2013 the Daily Mail reported on a music video featuring Owen Wilson called Christmas in LA. "The 45-year-old stars as a struggling actor trying to make it through yet another Christmas In Los Angeles, California." Recently many actors and actresses in California lost their homes to forest fire.

For all those who struggle just remember it is always darkest right before the dawn. Light a candle, say a prayer and hold on to the anchor of hope. 2019 will be a time to press forward.

Christmas Peace from the Outlaw King - The Five Stages of Grief.

Cory Vallee receives a double life sentence

T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a truthful word was spoken not even from a court mouse. The Cory Vallee fraud exemplifies the complete corruption within BC Gang enforcement. The double standards represent unequal protection of the law.

Never an honest word was ever heard when Donnie McWhirter testified for the police.



Kim Bolan did what reporters do. She reported on what was said in court without putting the statements to the test of believability. She simply reported what was said in court right or wrong, true or false. When the witnesses lied, she reported what they said. In the judge's decision, she reported what the judge said. Without looking at the evidence, the judge's statements could be true. However, when you look at the evidence, they are simply untrue and constitute the cumulative corruption that set Jamie Bacon and Donnie McWhirter free and sent someone to prison for life who did not do what they accused him of doing.

"Dillon said members of the public were terrified by several public shootings that were part of the conspiracy, including the Burnaby slaying of stereo installer Jonathan Barber on May 9, 2008, who was mistaken for one of the Bacons." That had nothing to do with Cory. K- 9 shot Jonathan Barber not Cory and that was indeed a tragedy. It was a tragedy that he missed Jamie Bacon. Getting rid of Jamie Bacon would have done a great public service.

This sentence was supposed to send a message to gang members that gang violence will not be tolerated but does it really? Jamie Bacon started the conflict by masterminding the Surrey Six on behalf of the Hells Angels. What kind of a sentence did Jamie Bacon get for those murders? Absolutely nothing. The RCMP officers that investigated the Surrey Six were getting drunk and sleeping with the witnesses. One of whom was Jamie Bacon's former girlfriend. Their systematic unprofessionalism screwed up the investigation and their delays caused by them trying to hide the details of that misconduct from the public resulted in Jamie Bacon getting off Scott free.

The Surrey Six launched the conflict between the Bacon Brothers and the UN. The Surrey Six executed innocent bystanders, the UN never did. After the Surrey six, the Bacon brothers murdered a mother named Nicole Alemy, while she was driving with her her four year old toddler in the back seat of the car not far from my house. Getting rid of the Bacons was a public service.

So what do we know about the four witnesses that testified against Cory? We know that they were unscrupulous criminals who consistently lied to police to get off of their own crimes including murder. Not only did they get off Scott Free for murder but they were also paid a small fortune for their lies in court. Aside from the Bobsy twins, the leader of that rat pack admitted in court to lying to the police even after he started working for them. He also admitted to posting false information on Kim Bolan's blog to throw the police off. That was Blaze. He still is.

So Blaze gets off for shooting Britney Irving in the back as well as for trafficking crystal meth and is paid a small fortune for lying about Cory in court. They also give him a new name and a new passport so he can cross the border whenever he wants. That is not fair.

Squamish RCMP miss the point

Global is reporting that "RCMP in Squamish have busted a huge operation involved with the production of an illegal cannabis extract." AYFKM? They just don't get it. Pot is legal now. Nobody cares about pot. People care about fentanyl because that is killing people. Pot isn't. You people are absolutely clueless. This is once again a misappropriation of tax dollars. Going after pot when they should be going after fentanyl. Give your head a shake and get your sh*t together.

Street Reapers in Fort Langley

BC Local News is reporting that "A new motorcycle gang police say is affiliated with the Hells Angels has established itself around Fort Langley. Members of the Street Reapers motorcycle club were reportedly spotted at the funeral of slain Hells Angel Chad Wilson in Maple Ridge on Saturday. “The Street Reapers are actually a motorcycle club that are closely associated and have close ties to the Hardside chapter of the Hells Angels,” said Sgt. Brenda Winpenny, spokesperson for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU)."

This is an example of how completely useless the BC Gang Task Force has become after they did away with the OMGU. All they do is send out press releases saying the Hells Angels are bad bad bad but they don't lift a finger to disrupt their drug trafficking any more.

Here's the deal. I have no problem with a MC called the Street Reapers setting up shop in Fort Langley. There is room in Fort Langley for a legitimate MC. I also have no problem if the Hardside chapter of the Hells Angels set up shop in Langley or Fort Langley. I'm just saying there is no room for them in Surrey because they have abused that privileged.

If the Hells Angels want to ride, let them ride. If they want to sell pot, let them sell pot. If they want to sell crack, crystal meth or fentanyl, they can go f*ck themselves. Not in my crib or Fort Langley.

McCallum attack adds in The Surrey Now Leader

Doug McCallum must be doing something right for Post Media News to take it's attack adds from the Vancouver Sun Province and put them in the Surrey Now Leader. Lately the Surrey Now Leader has launched a series of attack adds targeting McCallum's fiscal responsibility that defy reason. More sour grapes from the Corporate Communists who endorsed Tom Gill.

This week the headline reads "McCallum comfortable Surrey will be safe without hiring cops." Let's be clear about one thing. Doug McCallum's track record on crime is tried tested and proven. I was here. I saw it. Dianne Watts, Linda Hepner and Tom Gill launched and perpetuated the colossal fail army that culminated in the Wake Up Surrey movement.

As we speak Shakerz is a hub for Hells Angels drug trafficking in Surrey. The RCMP know that and do nothing to stop it. Hiring a thousand more cops to do nothing but eat donuts will not help reduce crime. Dough McCallum has a plan and I support that plan.

Doug McCallum is in the process of creating a Municipal police force which is a colossal step forward for Surrey. Hiring more police officers we will be forced to accommodate before the changeover would be completely insane. Post Media News, the owners of the Vancouver Sun Province and the Surrey Now Leader have a problem with fiscal responsibility. They are hell bent on perpetuating the tax and spend neo con. Thank God Doug McCallum has a brain.
