Drea Humphrey confirms the BC NDP crack pipe vending machines are real

This is a link to Drea's interview with Gwen O’Mahoney about the hospital vending machines.

Former Fraser Valley NDP MLA to run for B.C. Conservatives in Nanaimo

The Nanaimo Bulletin is reporting that "Conservative Party of B.C. Leader John Rustad hails the recruitment of former NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahony as evidence of building a big-tent party. O’Mahony, who was the MLA for Chilliwack-Hope for just over year between April 2012 to April 2013, will be running in the newly created riding of Nanaimo-Lantzville."

“Most of you know me as the first New Democrat elected in that riding (Chilliwack-Hope), but today, I’m here to tell you that things have changed in this province,” she said. “The world has changed, the B.C. NDP has changed. O’Mahony who resigned her NDP membership yesterday, cited her former party’s position on decriminalization as one of her motivating factors.”

"O’Mahoney, who moderated a meeting of trans-exclusionary radical feminism activists in Nanaimo in the fall of 2023, also cited B.C.’s SOGI-123 policy. 'I’m very concerned about parents and…keeping them informed,' she said. '(I) have looked at some of the literature coming through the SOGI program and I was shocked at what I saw.' Rustad said workers and former NDP voters like O’Mahony are abandoning the NDP because they can’t afford life in British Columbia."

Premier asks for review of harm-reduction supply vending machines at hospitals

The Times Colonist is reporting that "Premier David Eby is asking for a review of vending machines such as those outside Vancouver Island hospitals which dispense condoms, needles, crack pipes, drug-testing strips, wound-care supplies and naloxone kits. Island Health began installing Care and Connection kiosks outside the emergency rooms of Victoria General Hospital, North Island Hospital in Campbell River, and Nanaimo Regional General Hospital last fall as part of a pilot project to reduce overdose deaths and infections."

"The vending machines, funded by the Mental Health and Addictions Ministry, cost $2,000 a month to lease and are stocked by the B.C. Centre for Disease Control. The three machines have since dispensed 1,100 harm reduction and disease prevention supplies. Those supplies came under fire Tuesday as ­enabling drug use instead of offering ­treat­ment, after former NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahoney, a ­Conservative candidate in ­Nanaimo-Lantzville, posted a video of the kiosk outside Nanaimo’s hospital. She has family members who have battled addiction."

Again we see no protection for kids from these predators - drugs, SOGI & MAPs are bad.

Hells Angels associate shot dead in Toronto

CBC is reporting that "A man has died after a targeted shooting in Scarborough late Friday night, Toronto police say. Officers were called to Landry Avenue, in the area of Danforth and Warden avenues, at around 11:25 p.m. for reports of gunshots heard in the area. Police said a man with gunshot wounds was found in front of a home in the area. Despite life-saving measures, he was pronounced dead at the scene. He was later identified by police as 64-year-old Toronto man Ioannis Kyriakopoulos. Investigators say Kyriakopoulos was known to police."

Known to the police. April 5th 2024 the RCMP reported that Ioannis Kyriakopoulos was Paris Christoforou's co accused in an ilegal gambling ring. Paris Christoforou was a hitman tied to the Quebec Hells Angels and became a member of the Toronto Hells Angels.

April 21, 2004 Paris Christoforou and Peter Scarcella wwere involved in an Ontario mob hit that left a bystanders paralyzed. They were targeting Mike Modica. The Toronto Star claims Paris Christoforou lost his patch in 2017 and was targeted in Toronto and Montreal. It's hard to know if Paris Hilton is in trouble with the Quebec Hells Angels and the Ontario Hells Angels or just the Quebec Hells Angels. We remember when the Quebec Hells Angels were capping Ontario Nomads when they got out of prison. Ontario Hells Angels never really made the cut.

Sunset from Sky Chair on Cypress

We bought a seasons pass for the summer chairlift on Cypress this year. This was the first year they opened up the Lion's chair and Sky chair during summer. That is the hike I love to do in the summer and the winter. This year we just rode the chairlift.
Thursdays they started keeping it open late so you could watch the sunset. We were going to go but it kept raining on those nights. Well last night was the last Thursday of the season and it was sunny. They had live music and it was packed but it was well worth it. Very peaceful.
The music was a guy from Monaghan country singing and playing guitar. It was awesome.

Sadly I blew the motor on my motorcycle on the way to work today. I had just installed a new exhaust. It sounded awesome. I've decided to keep it and put a rebuilt motor in it in the summer. I love that bike. That means my car goes on the road and I'll be able to break out the kayaks.

Ex-politician convicted in murder of Las Vegas reporter

CTV is reporting that "A Democratic former Las Vegas-area politician is guilty of murder and has been sentenced to life in prison with parole eligibility at 20 years for the killing of an investigative journalist who wrote articles critical of his conduct in elected office, a jury in Nevada ruled Wednesday." Wow. Robert Telles was the former Clark County public administrator who ran a county office that handles the estates of those who die without apparent heirs.

Clark County District Attorney Steve "Wolfson, an elected Democrat, dismissed as ludicrous Telles' claims that a broad conspiracy of people -- including Wolfson -- framed him for blame for German's killing in retaliation for his effort to root out corruption he saw in his office." WTF?

Did Las Vegas D.A. Steve Wolfson and Sheriff Joe Lombardo cover up corruption?

In 2019 the Baltimore Post-examiner reported that "Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson and Sheriff Joe Lombardo stopped a further inquiry into allegations of police and prosecutorial corruption that could have been exposed through court testimony in 2018, according to records reviewed by the Baltimore Post-Examiner and interviews with confidential sources."

"The last major FBI investigation into political corruption in Las Vegas was the Bureau’s 2004 “Operation G-String.” Michael Galardi, a former owner of Las Vegas topless clubs pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges involving fraud and racketeering. He told the FBI that dozens of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officers and prosecutors from the Clark County District Attorney’s Office had frequented his establishments and received free drinks, lap dances and sexual favors from strippers over the years. Eleven police officers and 20 prosecutors were named by Galardi. The FBI said at the time that none of the activities rose to the level of a crime. However, the investigation resulted in more than a dozen political corruption convictions."

Lombardo, Wolfson ignored law in attempt to disqualify judge

In 2021 Nevada Current reported that "Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo enlisted District Attorney Steve Wolfson in an April 2018 effort to remove then-Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melanie Tobiasson from cases involving Metro’s vice detail after she publicly criticized Metro and the District Attorney, according to audio recordings obtained by the Current of Judicial Discipline Commission interviews with Lombardo and Wolfson."

This is his full testimony which includes his whistleblowing. His wife and his ex testified to his character. So did his siblings. Tellus clearly claims he is innocent and was framed.

Update: I'm going to look into this a bit more but I'm going to start off by saying I don't think he did it. I'm not going to proclaim his innocence like I did for Cameron Ortis and William Majcher but I will say I don't think the case against Robert Telles is plausible.

He claimed he didn't do it and was framed. That means we have no confession. Just because he claimed he didn't do it doesn't mean he is innocent. Before we investigate the claim we need to check the credibility of the witness. First of all the suspect is a lawyer. He stopped being a lawyer when he ran for office. When he was arrested he was disbarred but before his arrest he was a member in good standing of the bar. At first he wanted to represent himself.

Why is that? He's good and he's free. Lawyers for a trial like this would be very expensive and he has three kids to support. He also believes his innocence. That's kind of important. There's no sense paying another lawyer to represent your when they don't believe you're innocent.

So to start off, the fact that he is a lawyer gives himself a certain amount of credibility. We all know some lawyers are shady and launder drug money. It doesn't sound like he was that kind of a lawyer. He was a devote father who was very active in his kids lives. That also gives him more credibility. His wife and his ex wife both took to the stand and both testified of his devotion to his kids saying he was a very good provider and was very involved with their lives.

Not only did he attend all his kids functions, both his wife and his ex wife said he would help his children with their homework since he was educated and had the patients for it. Again this speaks to his character but it also speaks to something else. A guy like that is less likely to do something rash that would affect his relationship with his kids. Killing someone would be a crime of passion and it just doesn't seem to me he was the type.

We know a lot of guys out there do some pretty bizarre things when they are having an affair or when they catch their spouse having an affair. This doesn't appear to be a crime of passion. If he is accused of killing the journalist because of what he wrote, I'm going to have to find out what the journalist wrote about him, the DA and about the probate fraud he was blowing the whistle on. Who was benefiting from that? The DA does have a shady history.

CNN fake news quoted the prosecution who mocked the conspiracy theory claiming it didn't make sense because everyone would of had to have been in on it. That is not true. If the DA hired someone to kill the journalist, the Police for his coworkers didn't have to be involved. If the DA did it, the police wouldn't even investigate that possibility. Doing so would be a career killer.

If the DA did it it would be highly unlikely he would let anyone of Jeff's coworkers know. Why would he do that? Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead. If the DA hired someone to do it, letting anyone else in on that conspiracy would be unwise and unlikely.

CNN fake news claimed Robert killed the journalist because of what the journalist was writing about him. CNN claimed that Robert lost the Democrat primary in his reelection bid because of what the journalist wrote. I have two problems with that theory.

First of all, if Robert lost the primary it was more likely because of lobbying from the DA and his party behind his back. Newspaper articles would have little impact over that. Behind the scenes party politics would play the primary role. Robert was investigating things they didn't want him to investigate so they withdrew their support in the primary caucus.

The other problem I have with that theory is the fact that he was a member in good standing of the bar. If he lost his job in public office, he had a great paying job waiting for him. When someone does something desperate it's because they lose hope. The fact that he had another high paying job waiting for him meant that he had plenty of hope.

The reason why that matters is because he was a devote father who cared about his kids and cared about their welfare. Being a good provider was important to him. If he lost his job in public office, his devotion to his kids would prevent him from doing anything rash. Throwing his high paying job as a lawyer away and making his kids suffer financially over a crime of passion doesn't make sense. It's not believable.

Robert testified that he was shown pictures of the murder victim. He was surprised to see the journalist had his throat slit and was stabbed in the heart. Robert said, in his opinion, that was a professional hit. It was someone who knew what they were doing. Robert said he didn't have combat training. What Robert said makes sense.

The reason why that matters is because he was a devote father who cared about his kids and cared about their welfare. Being a good provider was important to him. If he lost his job in public office, his devotion to his kids would prevent him from doing anything rash. Throwing his high paying job as a lawyer away and making this kids suffer financially over a crime of passion doesn't make sense. It's not believable.

Slitting someone's throat is nasty. I have martial arts training and that is not something I would choose to do. I don't like knives because of the damage they can do. I've been trained to disarm knives not commit murder with knives. The whole idea of slitting someone's throat give me the heepie jeebies. In the movie Braveheart the villain slit his wife's throat. That was nasty.

In battle warriors sometimes slit their enemy's throat. Yet real life is rarely like the movies. I'd be too afraid of having to watch the person bleed out or choke on their own blood. In wartime I'd want an ethical kill not a slow and painful one. I don't think Robert had that in him. I know I don't.

As for being framed, one of the pieces of evidence the police found in Robert's home was the victims hat cut into peices. Why one earth would he take the victim's hat home with him and keep it? Locally when gang members do a hit, they burn everything. They burn the car, they burn their clothes they destroy all the evidence. Keeping the hat as a souvenir makes no sense.

The only piece of evidence that is significant is the DNA under the journalists finger nails but even that is highly peculiar. This wasn't a woman being raped. This was a man being stabbed. When men fight they punch each other. They struggle for the knife. They don't scratch each other. That is highly unusually. Yet in my opinion the presence of that evidence is highly suspicious because it's all too convenient. Under normal circumstances that would be a slam dunk.

Yet as I've outlined, these aren't normal circumstances, there is enough credibility and inconsistencies to warrant a proper investigation. If he was set up, the only one that could have planted that kind of evidence would be the CIA. They are the ones meddling in US elections and using fraud to raise money for the New Democrat Agenda. The CIA is the Octopus.

Here's my beef. The Five Eyes won't hesitate to completely destroy a good man's life like Cameron Ortis or William Majcher, but in this case not only did they completely destroy a good man's life, they also destroyed three good kid's lives. All of a sudden those kids have no child support or income. That is shameful.

The Moon Is Right Next to Mars and Jupiter

Cnet is reporting that "If you missed seeing Jupiter cozying up to the moon this morning, you can check the night skies early Wednesday, Aug. 28, too: Mars and Jupiter will trade spots and it'll be the red planet that sits closer to the moon." That's called a conjunction.

So yesterday morning that star beside the moon was Jupiter. This morning you could see a star beside the moon and that was Jupiter again but between Jupiter and the moon was a fainter star and that was Mars. Yesterday I couldn't find Venus which is usually the easiest planet to find right above the horizon but the website confirmed that Venus isn't visible this time of year. Mercury is but that's always harder to see because it's fainter and closer to the horizon.

A coworker has a really cool AP on his phone called Planets. You hold your phone up and fan the sky and the ap tells you where the planets are in the sky.

Update: For the past 3 days each morning you could see Jupiter beside the moon with Mars in between. Each morning it gets a bit further away from the moon.

Justin Trudeau and Bonnie Henry's conflicted reality

Why is drug related violence against health care workers skyrocketing? Children are not allowed to buy cigarettes but they can have free needles and meth pipes. That is criminally insane. Then there is digital slavery. Why is the guy with the worst approval rating in history forcing this on us?

Justin Trudeau continues to sink in the polls

The Toronto Sun is reporting that "Facing months of devastating poll numbers, Canada’s embattled prime minister tossed cold water on those hoping for a Joe Biden-esque departure. During a Monday morning press conference ahead of the federal cabinet retreat in Halifax, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ducked pointed questions on his future as he faces record-low polling and the Liberals’ conspicuous loss in June’s Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection."

“You say you plan to stay on, despite persistently bad polling, despite the byelection loss in Toronto that your party lost for the first time in three decades because you want to ‘continue to deliver,'” asked Globe and Mail reporter Marieke Walsh. “Isn’t that what Joe Biden insisted on?”

“But you just made the Joe Biden argument, that his record justifies him staying,” Walsh said in her follow-up question to Trudeau, who appeared visibly annoyed by the comparison. “The electorate is saying they don’t want you, they want change. Your polling is worse than your party’s.” Cabinet shuffles, announcements and a summer of surprise and unscheduled photo-ops have done little to resurrect Trudeau’s image in the eyes of Canadians."

"An Abacus Data poll released last week show the Conservatives continue their domineering lead over the Liberals, with respondents saying their dislike of Trudeau far outweighed their opinions of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. Angus Reid’s Trudeau Tracker suggests voters’ appeal for the PM are at record low levels, while his disapproval ratings steadily increased after the 2021 federal election to levels rarely seen in Canada."
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is having a hard time facing her denial. She can't blame the disastrous state of the nation on the current administration because she is the current administration.
