Violence in South Africa

There certainly is a lot of unrest around the world and the media's misrepresentation of the events is disturbing. However, today I'm going to address the wild card: South Africa.

CTV is reporting that "Crowds clashed with police and ransacked or set ablaze shopping malls in cities across South Africa on Tuesday, with dozens of people reported killed, as grievances unleashed by the jailing of ex-president Jacob Zuma boiled over into the worst violence in years."

"Protests that followed Zuma's arrest last week for failing to appear at a corruption inquiry have widened into looting and an outpouring of general anger over the hardship and inequality that persist 27 years after the end of apartheid. Poverty has been exacerbated by severe social and economic restrictions aimed at blocking the spread of COVID-19."

So here we see Covid 19 creates poverty and economic hardships and rioting results. Mission accomplished. After all, that is the purpose of the Covid reset. Clearly the free market is not the problem banning it is. "Zuma's foundation said there would be no peace in South Africa until the former president was released from jail."

Jacob Zuma was a freedom fighter who opposed Apartheid and served in prison with Nelson Mandella and other ANC leaders. He returned from exile in 1980 when the ban on the ANC was lifted. He because president of South Africa in 2009 until 2018 where he faced various corruption charges including arms dealing and rape. In 2018 Cyril Ramaphosa became president of South Africa after becoming president of the ANC in 2017.

So Jacob Zuma was a member of the ANC as was Nelson Mandella and the current president.

CTV is also reporting that "A South African court has rejected former South African President Jacob Zuma's request to postpone his current jail term."

"In a separate matter, Zuma is standing trial on charges of corruption related to a 1999 arms deal, where he allegedly received bribes from French arms manufacturer Thales. His financial adviser has already been convicted and imprisoned in that case."

"While human rights groups in South Africa welcomed Zuma's imprisonment, many people in KwaZulu-Natal, the center of support for the former president, said they were not happy about it."

"It does not sit well with me because, first of all, he is an elderly person, so for him to be incarcerated is not good for him," said Philiswa Zondi in Pietermaritzburg. "Perhaps it would have been better for him to be incarcerated at home than to be in a cell."

"Another Pietermaritzburg resident, Ntuthuko Mdletshe, said she felt Zuma had been treated unfairly because South Africa has many other corrupt politicians who have not been arrested."

"I feel so bad for Jacob Zuma," said Mdletshe. "I feel bad because every political party has its own corruption, even the previous government had its own corruption."

Maybe that's not worth burning the country down over. Any leader who asks his people to burn their country down so he doesn't have to go to jail, in not someone I would follow.

I understand the double standard. When the media refers to a $2 billion arms deal, Zumba did not receive $2 billion. The French company did. Zumba received $35,000 annually from 1999 as a bribe. The French company Thales got the $2 billion and they haven't been charged.

This is what large corporations like SNC - Lavalin and Lockheed Martin do all the time. They get billion-dollar government contracts paid for by the taxpayer and give the dirty politicians a kickback in the form of campaign contributions.

The former French president Sarkozy did the same thing in Pakistan only far worse. He got a kickback on the sale of a French sub then launched a false flag terrorist attack when the kickbacks were cut off. That was known as the Karachi affair.

So Sarkozy and the French company gets off but Zumba is charged. I get it. Justin Trudeau did worse too. The We Scandal, SNC-Lavalin and his involvement with the CCP mean he should be in jail. Yet the media spins for him because they too get kickbacks. However, rioting because you don't want a corrupt politician to go to jail looks pretty strange to the rest of the world.

Surrey father speaks about his struggles with alcohol

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "a Surrey father battling alcoholism is sharing his story in the hopes at least one other person feels empowered to ask for help."

"Father of five David Sinclair, 38, started drinking when he was a teen, but lost control of his habit about six years ago. Like many others that suffer from the grips of addiction, Sinclair said he used booze to cope with trauma that was deeply rooted in his childhood."

"While the opioid overdose crisis dominates headlines, alcohol is “by far” the most common drug used by Canadians, according to Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA). In 2014, CCSA reported alcohol contributed to 14,828 deaths in Canada, representing 22 per cent of all substance attributed deaths. And according to Statistics Canada, nearly one-quarter of Canadians said their alcohol consumption had increased during the pandemic."

"After research, Sinclair returned to the hospital with a sense of purpose, and demanded a supervised medical detox." The key point here is that he asked for help to get off alcohol. He didn't ask for free alcohol.

When I was young, I knew an alcoholic who got an impaired charge. He chose the jail time instead of the fine to help him get off the alcohol. He had massive seizures from DTs while in prison. Afterwards he told me that when you go off heroin you feel like you're going to die but when you go off alcohol, you might.

No one even considers giving an alcoholic alcohol if they're trying to get sober. The fact that the pharmaceutical companies are pushing to give free heroin for people with opioid addictions is bat sh*t crazy. The Portugal model was successful because they made treatment mandatory.

I'm not saying we should make treatment mandatory or legalize hard drugs. I'm saying we should make treatment available for those who want it. When the Surrey Strip was at its peak, the majority of the people there wanted treatment but couldn't get it. Treatment and law enforcement saves lives. Lethal injections sites don't. They promote adiction and make the problem worse.

Alcohol consumption linked to thousands of cancer cases in Canada in 2020

Ontario murder suspects arrested in Budapest

The Daily Beast is reporting that "After a three-month-long manhunt, the glamorous daughter of a prominent Canadian businesswoman and her boyfriend were finally arrested in connection to a February shooting that killed a 39-year-old man and left his pregnant fiancée fighting for her life in a hospital." Tyler Pratt, 38, died in Hamilton on Feb. 28 after being shot. His pregnant fiancée survived but lost the baby. Tyler was from Kamloops.

"Li’s mother, Winnie Liao, who runs Toronto-based asset management firm Respon International Group, has reportedly organized high-profile fundraising events, and is featured in photos with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford on the company’s website." Li is a model along with her triplet sisters. One is a beauty queen contestent.

15-year-old Edmonton girl rescued from human trafficking

The Edmonton journal is reporting tha "Three Edmonton men are facing charges around human trafficking after they allegedly sexually exploited and drugged a teenage girl, police say."

Tyson Shaw, 24, Islam Montasser, 26, and Amir Idris, 30, have been jointly charged.

"ALERT said Thursday suspects groomed the 15-year-old girl online, escalating to nude photography, and then steered her into the sex trade. Police say three men allegedly “procured the youth for sexual services” and are facing a combined 35 criminal charges after a two-month investigation. The most recent arrest was June 29." ALERT is not compromised. The CFSEU is.

The Edmonton Journal previously reported that "Kalab Abberra Kitil, 24, had been charged with second-degree murder for the June 2, 2014, slaying of Sultanbek Abdymamat Uulu, but pleaded guilty to the lesser offence of manslaughter.

"According to an agreed statement of facts, an acquaintance of the victim, Islam Montasser, had met Kitil through the drug trade in February or March 2014 and ended up owing him $500. This led to Kitil threatening to do harm to Montasser if the debt was not repaid."

Global reported that a man and women are accused of working together to recruit two teenage girls into the sex trade in Edmonton. Polce have arrested 24 year old Michael Moffat and 25 year old Louisa Wallis. That case apears to be from 2019. The other case is recent.

Organized prostitution follows a familiar path. First they recruit young women to become strippers so they can make money for college. After they get them addicted to drugs, they tell them if you really want to make a lot more money, you should become an escort. After the drugs have eaten them alive, they cast them aside like an old shoe.

Hells Angel strippers from Edmonton and the Orange Number 5 ended up dead on the Pickton farm. Caitlin Bradley ended up dead on a Kelowna beach. That was under the old leadership.

What consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business - consenting adults. What Sonny Barger had done to Margo Compton and her twin daughters was deranged. The prosecution even helped him hide his involvement. Michael Kramer pimps for the ATF and no one cares.

Sidney Powell, Eric Adams, Kathryn Garcia & Maya Wiley

The Communist News Network claims that "Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell and her legal team clashed repeatedly with a federal judge Monday during a hearing to determine if sanctions are warranted against her and other attorneys who filed a lawsuit in Michigan based on false claims of election fraud in an unsuccessful attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election."

Three Democrats "have requested that Federal Judge Linda V. Parker (who was appointed by Obama) sanction Powell, attorney Lin Wood, and other members of the legal team that were involved in the efforts to have Michigan's presidential election returns decertified due to unsubstantiated claims of voting irregularities... it never should have been filed," Fink said. "These lawyers should be punished for their behavior."

They should be punished for filing a lawsuit? Oh really? That sounds more like Communist China who punish human rights lawyers. Meanwhile, back in New York City, three Democrat candcates for mayor each filed a lawsuit to challenge the NYC mayoral Democrat Primary​.

The New York Daily News reported that "Following the New York City Board of Elections ballot bungle, mayoral candidate Maya Wiley filed a lawsuit on Thursday night aimed at preserving her right to a recount in the city’s Democratic primary."

"Wiley, a former counsel to Mayor de Blasio, submitted the court papers ahead of a Friday deadline to file such a suit after the June 22 primary, which remains unsettled due to a long wait for the tallying of absentee ballots."

"The eight-page complaint, which was filed in Kings County Supreme Court, said the intention of the litigation is to preserve the right 'to correct errors that have occurred, are occurring, or may occur' in the recording of election results."

So it's OK for Democrats including Al Gore to file election lawsuits but it's not OK for Republicans to. Just like it's OK for Hilary Clinton to make election fraud claims but it's not OK for Donald Trump to do it. The Mainstream Media is ridiculous.

Kyle Latimer sentenced after plea deal

Dr Spin is reporting that "When Red Scorpion gangster Kyle Latimer pleaded guilty to being part of a criminal organization last December, he made sure that the names Jamie Bacon, Cody Haevischer and his dad Craig were not listed as part of his group."

"Latimer was handed a global sentence of 17 years in May. When the charges were laid, police said both Bacon and Haevischer were involved in Latimer’s criminal organization despite being in jail at the time for their roles in the 2007 Surrey Six murders."

Actually, that's true. My source confirmed that Kyle Latimer works for Jamie Bacon and that the Red Scoroions is really a Lower Mainland jailgang. They still make bank from jail and Kyle is a part of that circle. So is the Kang Group. The top dogs in RS are Jamie Bacon and Sam Kang. If BK kill Sam, where does that leave Jamie? Do the math. BK work for the Edmonton HAs. They're not allowed to touch Jamie because he works for the HAs too.

So on one side we have the Hells Angels protecting Jamie Bacon and on the other side we have the Crown and the Gang Task Force protecting him. How do you guys sleep at night?

New trial ordered in Surrey court case judge had stayed

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that "A new trial has been ordered in a Surrey provincial court criminal case that a judge had stayed because of unreasonable delay."

"Justice Christopher Grauer, of the Court of Appeal for British Columbia, noted the underlying offences in Regina versus Jim Singh Kanda relate to extortion, unlawful confinement, assault and numerous firearms offences alleged to have taken place on Oct. 1, 2016."

"The trial judge directed a stay of proceedings on account of delays, which the Crown appealed. Grauer allowed the appeal, set aside the stay of proceedings and ordered a new trial."

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "This case involved extortion, unlawful confinement, assault and firearms crimes allegedly committed by Jim Singh Kanda on Oct. 1, 2016. A reputed friend, identified only as T.B., complained to police and they arrested Kanda the next day and charged him. He was held in custody until Oct. 5 when the prosecutor directed a stay of proceedings."

"On Feb. 26, 2019, Kanda was arrested and charged again." The Appeal judge got it right. The guy was charged and released after a stay in proceedings. A stay means they reserve the right to charge you in the future. They brought charges against him again in 2019. That's when his right to a fair and speedy trial begins. It doesn't include the time they stayed the charges against him.

Multiple fatalities after crane collapses in Kelowna

Post Media Trash is reporting that "Multiple people are dead after a crane attached to a high-rise building under construction collapsed in downtown Kelowna, B.C., on Monday, police said."

They were worried it might fall after that huge fire. Tragic people were killed.

It looks like the fire was at a different site. Two different cranes.

Update: Crane collapse kills four, one person missing

Missing man's body found in Kelowna crane collapse rubble

Three Stooges present in Vancouver court

Update: Three Stooges murder trial has resumed

I had heard that Gumby and crew were actually in court for their murder trial not just making a video appearance so I went down to Vancouver and checked it out today. They all saw me. Larry was on the right, Dean (Curly) was on the left and Robby (Moe) was in the middle.

The jury was present but a sign said a publication ban was in effect. I checked their website and couldn't find any so I'm still looking. Usually, publication bans are just for when the jury is not present. People said Larry looked old and skinny while Dean looked like a bully.

Larry's lost muscle mass but I wouldn't say he looks skinny. He looks lean. Probably a lot healthier then when he was all jacked up on steroids. There's a guy at the gym who's absolutely massive. He does a set of dips and he's panting out of breath. That can't be healthy.

I ran into Larry once at the Costco in Langley when I first started the blog about 10 years ago. He was easy to spot with the deadheads on the back of his hands. He still has them. When I saw him then he looked old and tired. I don't think he looks any older now than he did then. Older than in that picture with Randy Naicker when he was all jacked up of course.

He was wearing a white dress shirt with black rimmed glasses and has a long skinny pointy nose. Normally when people get nose jobs, they don't make them longer. Maybe its from all the lies he's told. He has long hair now tied in the back with a man bun. That's an oxymoron, like man purse.

All three were wearing white dress shirts. Dean and Robby were wearing Mr Roger sweaters over their dress shirt. I asked the sheriff if it was common for prisoners to wear street clothes in a trial by jury and he said yes. I guess that's their way of sucking up. They look a little more guilty wearing their normal prison orange.

Dean is tall. All three were lean and fit. Dean still looked like a thug. Didn't matter what he was wearing. You can take the Jack out of Surrey but you can't take the Surrey out of the Jack. He had short hair with disco gel on his bangs. He wouldn't do that in Surrey.

Larry was able to use both arms. He turned pages with his left hand and drank water with his right hand so I don't know what is up with that claim about him having one arm paralyzed. It's not paralyzed now. Robby... I dunno. He doesn't have a good prognosis. He's running with the wrong crowd. The whole case is sad as in pathetic.

All three of these guys are walking down a dead-end road. Their future looks hopeless. That is sad and pathetic because it didn't have to be that way. Larry's from a rich family. He started stealing because he thought it made him look cool. Not. Stealing is like tattooing an L on your forehead. I realize that killing rival drug dealers is different than killing innocent civilians or exs but there's nothing noble about it. It's just greed. You're still stealing.

Dean's just a hired thug. No brains. No morals. No future. What goes around comes around.

Josh Boden's fatal assault

I see from the court registry, former BC Lion Joshua Boden's fatal assault is in Vancouver court today. In February Keith Fraser reported that "A key Crown witness provided dramatic testimony Wednesday about former BC Lion Joshua Boden’s alleged fatal assault on a former girlfriend."

Keith Fraser also reported that Former BC Lions general manager and head coach Wally Buono testified at the trial in February. Wally testified that Kimberly Hallgarth contacted the team during the offseason in 2008. He said she was upset about the fact that Josh had allegedly damaged her car and she wanted them to make sure he paid for the damages.”

"Hallgarth later sent some photos of the damaged Range Rover, including a picture of a smashed windshield, as well as one or two photos of injuries she claimed to have suffered after being assaulted by Boden, said Buono. Those injuries, which were obviously depicting domestic violence, included a bruise on her forearm and the side of her face, he said."

This is where it gets bizarre. The crown's initial theory was that Boden killed his ex because he blamed her for losing his football career. First of all, if he lost his job because he assaulted her, that's his fault not hers. However, it gets much worse. The article is somewhat astounding.

Another former girlfriend testified that she witnessed the fatal assault. The other former GF admitted that she was working as a sex trade worker for Boden and that he assaulted her and accused her of working for another man. Not of having sex with another man, he was pimping her out. He accused her of working for another pimp.

Kimberly was upset about the damages to her Range Rover. How can she afford a Range Rover? She is his ex. Canadian football players don't make much money. It's not like the NFL or the NBA in the States. Nissen said she was told that Hallgarth also worked as a sex-trade worker for Boden. Nissen said “I’ve definitely learned a lot about the cycle of abuse. It helps me realize what the relationships was with Josh. It wasn’t love, it was a cycle of abuse.” Ya think?!

We need to stop right here for a monument because this is bat sh*t crazy. Ladies: if a man asks you to have sex with another man, he does not love you and never will. Men: living off the avails is not noble. Get a f*cking job. This is where we need to call in Dr Phil because this sh*t be cray.

This brings us back to Sonny Barger and Lenny the Pimp. What Sonny Barger did to Margo Compton and her twin daughters was deranged. Anyone who thinks that's cool needs therapy. There used to be a TV series called pimp my ride. Back then pimping meant cool. It didn't mean living off the avails. Snoop Dog had a funny song about being a PIMP. It was a joke. It wasn't real. Terms like pimp slapping aren't funny. F*ck #MeToo. I'm talking about reality.

Men, picture this. You die and you're standing on top of a large mountain where everyone in the world can see you and can see everything you've done in your life. You come face to face with yourself. You see the man you are, the man you were and the man you could have become. Should have could have would have but didn't. Pimping out your girlfriend or the mother of your children is Clifford Olsen. It's really f*cked up. It shows that you have absolutely no self-respect.

Ladies: this love / fear relationship is not normal and is not healthy but you're not to blame, society is. All those god forsaken freaks pushing 50 Shades of Grey are to blame. Sadomasochism is not erotic. Healthy relationships are built upon mutual respect.
