This is highly relevant because it ties in with Google's censorship of the Tiananmen Square massacre for anyone using the Internet in China. Google is censoring our search results as well.

This once again demonstrates why corporate monopolies are bad and illustrates the need for a free market where free speech is still permitted. Truth will prevail.
CP 24 is reporting that "Peel police recovered 78 vehicles allegedly en route to the Middle East after a months-long investigation into an auto theft ring in the Greater Toronto Area.
“'In the first two months of 2023 here in Peel Region alone, our officers have seized and recovered over 500 stolen autos, and for frame of reference, in 2022 alone, 2,400 stolen autos were recovered.'
Project R&R, a months-long multi-jurisdictional investigation, which commenced in October 2022, focused on auto theft across the GTA, Quebec, and overseas."
"Alongside Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), Port of Montreal, and Equite Association, police said they recovered 78 vehicles worth more than $10 million. They said they also seized a quantity of Canadian and U.S. dollars, a quantity of cocaine, and a stolen ramp to load the vehicles.
During the announcement, police confirmed the stolen vehicles were recovered at various locations and ports, including Brampton, Montreal, Germany, and Spain."
This bog has evolved over the years and although I appreciate the feedback I'm not going to panhandle because that's not my MO. Like King BenjamÃn of old, I pay my own way and I don't live off the donations of others. I'm not going to do all that disco sh*t either and sell T-shirts or coffee mugs. That's what everybody else does and I'm not everybody else. I have a purpose and an objective. Setbacks can slow me down but they cannot stop me.
When I first started this blog I had two passions: crime and civil liberty. I still do. My first ebook which wasn't really an ebook it was just a long blog post in pdf was called Stand True: Civil Liberty and the Hells Angles Drug Trafficking Network. It all started with the Surrey Six yet for me it started long before that. I was a volunteer who opposed the US Crack epidemic under the infamous leadership of Curtis Sliwa. Hence the chapter, in the beginning was crack cocaine.
When I first started this blog I was anonymous. I went by Agent K from the movie Men in Black. I was anonymous because I wanted to protect my kids. This blog wasn't about me it was a cause I embraced. When my real name was plastered all over the front page of the local newspapers the Hells Angels and the fake news both thought I would run. They were wrong. I had no place to go. I cut some deals, streamlined my focus and moved forward.
The rough stone rolling down the hill.
When I first started I talked quite a bit about the Hells Angels because they were the biggest fish when it came to organized crime. Yet as time went on, much bigger fish were revealed. The political agenda of the World Economic Forum and the CIA make the Hells Angels look like boy scouts. If the Hells Angels kill a rival drug dealer that doesn't affect me in the slightest. Yet what the CIA and the dirty politicians are doing adversely affects all of us. That's why my mandate has been amended and it's because of the fall of the mainstream media.
There are two prophecies that have become very relevant. One is that in the last days, all the secret works of darkness will come to light. The other is that the truth will go forward nobly, boldly and independent. That is the road ahead.
I really enjoy riding a motorcycle. When I ride, I feel free. All the trauma of the past is behind me and gets left behind in the dust as I narrow my focus and more forward.
In the documentary about the Florian Knights they talked about wind therapy for overcoming PTSD. They hooked up riders to an eeg and monitored their brainwaves while they rode a motorcycle.
They found that as they rode the distractions began to disappear and they became focused on the road ahead.
You don't need a patch to ride a motorcycle.
I ride a cruiser but I don't ride a Harley. I like what I ride. I can afford it. It's cheap on gas and cheap on insurance. The author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance didn't ride a Harley either. He rode a bike without a faring so he could feel the wind on his face and experience life first hand. The point was not the possession, it was the experience.
Like Seamus said in the movie Finding You, life rarely works out the way we had hoped. You need to learn to play the sorrow as well as the joy because you can't have one without the other.
Life is a bit like the first degree. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Fools rush in or run away when faced with a challenge, while a wise man will wait until the veil is lifted and the road ahead becomes clear. Well wait 'till I tell ye, I'm standing on the mountain top and I can see the road ahead. I can't see everything but I can see far enough to know which road I am going to take because I know where that road leads and I know where this journey will take us. Peace.
CTV is reporting that "One person is dead and two others are injured following a daylight shooting in the parking lot of Fairview Mall on Monday afternoon.
Police were called to the mall, in the area of Sheppard Avenue East and Don Mills Road, shortly after 4 p.m."
"Two male victims in their 20s were located at the scene with gunshot wounds. Both were transported to hospital, where one remains in life-threatening condition. The other has serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
Police say a third shooting victim, also a man in his 20s, was later dropped off at a local hospital in a personal vehicle. There, he received medical attention but died of his injuries."
"The shooting took place in one of the mall’s covered parking lots, on the north side of the building, and investigators believe that at least one vehicle was involved. At the scene this afternoon, evidence markers could be seen surrounding a black sedan with its doors open."
CTV is reporting that "One man is in the hospital in serious condition after being shot in downtown Nanaimo this weekend, according to authorities.
The Nanaimo RCMP said the 39-year-old man was found near the Coast Bastion Hotel around 8 a.m. Saturday. 'The incident was initially reported by Community Safety Officers who were on patrol when they were flagged down by the victim who was bleeding heavily from a facial injury,' a statement from police said. Paramedics treated the victim at the scene before transporting him to hospital."
The National Post is reporting that "Liberal MPs once again spent hours Tuesday filibustering a parliamentary committee meeting to prevent Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s chief of staff, Katie Telford, from testifying about allegations of Beijing’s interference in past elections." Filibustering to prevent someone from testifying. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap. Why is that not surprising?
This is big news so I will report on it. After the many anomalies in the Nova Scotia mass shooting and the Saanich bank robbery that wasn't a bank robbery, I am very leery of orchestrated events. If the WEF would resort to launching a pandemic to rationalize implementing their sinister political objectives, they would resort to anything. Gun control is a prerequisite to Communism.
Two Edmonton police officers were killed in the line of duty recently and it was a complete tragedy.
CTV is reporting that "Edmonton police released more details at a media conference on Friday about the events that led to the death of two officers.
Around 12:47 a.m. on Thursday, Const. Travis Jordan and Const. Brett Ryan responded to a family dispute call at an apartment complex near 114 Avenue and 132 Street.
When they arrived, police say they were met by a 55-year-old woman outside the complex.
The officers went to the suite where she lived with a 73-year-old man and their 16-year-old son." Two officers were shot.
"A struggle ensued between the woman and the teen over the firearm, and the boy shot his mother, before fatally shooting himself, police said.
The boy's father was in another room when the shooting happened, and was not injured."
That is what the police say which appears to be confirmed by a witness. CBC reported that "Dunn, who lives on the third floor of the building, said he was in his kitchen before the shooting.
He saw the flash of a light pass across his window. Two officers were standing outside with the woman who lives in the unit directly below his, Dunn said.
'There was a police officer outside,' he said. 'When I looked, he made eye contact with me and he kind of pointed to the door.'"
Dunn said he went downstairs and opened the door to the officers and the woman he knew to be his neighbour. He said the officers thanked him and told him to return to his apartment. "I went up the stairs. They turned off onto the second floor behind me, and before I even got back into my unit, I heard the shooting."
Dunn said he heard five or six shots ring out as officers approached the door.
'They came to the door and you could hear them say, Hello, this is the police. Please let us in. I don't think he even finished what he was saying.'"
"Dunn said he didn't know the woman or her son very well but would often pass them in the halls. He said they had lived there for at least 2½ years." CBC is known for misrepresenting facts in favor of a woke political agenda but there is no reason to believe the witness isn't real and is not telling the truth. So what do we know? We know that the 16 year old was not in possession of a legally obtained firearm so we are forced to ask how did he get it?
CTV reported that the 16 year old didn't have a criminal record but "Police said that officers had been called to the apartment at least one other time in an incident that was classified as a mental health call." Even though his name is protected by the Young Offenders Act, since he is accused of murder, they are legally permitted to release his name.
The police were responding to a nonviolent domestic dispute and didn't make it into the suite. Which makes us ask, did he shoot them through the door? How then did a struggle with his mother over the firearm happen? The kid shot his mother. Perhaps by accident. Mental health is clearly an issue here.
Shooting cops over what? He didn't have a criminal record. He wasn't facing serious charges. There was no need or reason for him to shoot the officers. This was another senseless unnecessary tragedy.
This morning when my alarm went off, at first I thought it was a work day. Then I said, wait a minute. It's Saturday. Saturday March 18th the day after Saint Patrick's Day and I didn't go out drinking last night so I have no hangover. Awesome. I feel great. The forecast said sunny so I head straight up the mountain and hit the trail running.
As soon as I hit the first ridge I pulled out my camera to take a picture of the snow covered hills glistening in the sunshine and realized I had left my camera in my ski pants which I left at my motorcycle in the parking lot. I thought yeah I'm not going all the way back for it because if I do, I'm not hiking all the way back up and then summiting. So I pressed forward without it.
They say a picture's worth a thousand words and that it is. So I'll use a few words to paint a picture of what I saw today. The trail was hard packed and a bit icy. Perfect for crampons. The sun was shining and glistening off the ice crystals in the snow. It was magnificent. I'm surprised the mountain wasn't busier. I went up Hollyburn Ridge on Cypress.
You could see the snow capped mountains on Vancouver Island in the distance but it was a little bit hazy. Yet everything on the mountain was crystal clear. When I came back down I took a picture of the thousand year old yellow cedar right before the turn off to the nordic area. It's not very tall but it's very wide. It's hard to imagine it's been there for a thousand years.
Then I rode over to Whitecliff. The parking lot was packed already. Everyone was in spring picnic mode. It's been cold and rainy for a long time. Lots of scuba divers there as well. A seal swam over to check them out. After that I head over to the Cleveland Dam on Capilano road at the foot of Grouse Mountain and it was packed too. Almost like a summer's day.
My father used to take me to Whitecliff when I was young to take pictures of the sunset. He would also take me to the Cleveland Dam to take pictures of the Lions over the reservoir. I guess that's why I like to take pictures. I prefer taking pictures of the Lions face to face from the mountaintop.
Blaze still trolls me incessantly. For someone that claims I don't have a life he sure obsesses over this insignificant blog so he does. It's always a barrage of stupid and childish insults that are all very insecure and pointless. Recently he was mocking me for having stayed in the same community I grew up in. I spent four years travelling around the world. I like it here. I have a lot of really good memories here. Everywhere I go triggers a nice memory.
As I was walking around the rocks at Whitecliff I thought it was difficult to imagine I walked this same spot when I was young yet I remember and I remember taking my kids there as well. On the way up to Cleveland Dam I passed by the fish ladder. I remember taking my kids there just like my father took me. Last month I took an alternate route home from Vancouver and passed by my first apartment I rented when I moved out after High School.
When I walk over to my kids school I remember picking my daughter up on my motorcycle and watching my son perform. I guess that's why old people don't like selling their house. They have so many good memories they don't want to lose. Yesterday I rode by the complexes my mother and my father lived in before they died. It's nice to have roots.
Yes it is ridiculously expensive to live here now. I remember doing genealogy on my mother side. Many of her ancestors came over on ship to Halifax from Yorkshire. On the passenger lists they would state their reason for leaving England. Almost all of them said it was because taxes were too high and rent was too expensive. Kind of like it is here now. The problem is, we have no place to go. Everywhere is expensive now. They sure aren't handing out any land grants any more.
When I see a big house all I can think about is a big hydro bill and a lot of property tax. When my parents retired they rented a small apartment. When you're old, that's all you need. Now that I'm getting old I can start thinking about traveling again. Yet this place will always be my home. It's where I'm from. I've been tempted many times to move to Alberta. I may retire there. I want to retire somewhere cheap so I can travel and make new memories. Life goes on so it does.
Thursday morning it was minus one on the ride into work on my motorcycle. I was thinking it's half way through March. When's it going to start getting warmer out? It will. Usually when I ride a full season and make it to March I can breathe a sigh of relief and say I made it. This March is still a little bit chilly but we are sure grateful for the awesome snow conditions on the local mountains.
The time change has pushed to sunrise back a bit so it's still dark out. Thursday morning was clear and cold but you could see a magnificent crescent moon on the horizon. Muslims use the crescent moon as their symbol. Usually we get all excited about a full moon but a crescent moon looks cool too. I think it's symbolic of the curve on their swords. The Sikhs have curved swords as well. I'm more into the straight swords myself but I certainly do respect different styles.
Yesterday a coworker from Newfoundland showed me on his phone iceberg season has started back home since I was asking about it. I'd really like to see that. I've lived on the west coast all my life and we never see icebergs here. I wonder why that it. Maybe it's because Greenland is so far south it ices up during winter and melts during summer. All I know is that we don't get them out here and I'd love to see them. There's a website that tracks them so you know when to visit.
Sometimes polar bears come down on the icebergs and start roaming the countryside. That is wild. I'm fine with black bears but I will not f*ck with grizzlies or polar bears.
I remember visiting the Maritimes when I was a kid. They have fireflies out there. We don't have them on the west coast. Those are cool too. After the Alaska trip I want to ride out to Halifax and Newfoundland.
