The October Surprise

No, we're not talking about the Great Pumpkin. According to Wikipedia, "in American political jargon, the October surprise is a news event deliberately created to influence the outcome of an election, particularly one for the U.S. presidency."

Wikipedia also reports that "In the 1980 presidential election, Republican challenger Ronald Reagan feared that a last-minute deal to release American hostages held in Iran might earn incumbent Jimmy Carter enough votes to win re-election. As it happened, in the days prior to the election, press coverage was consumed with the Iranian government's decision—and Carter's simultaneous announcement—that the hostages would not be released until after the election."

"It was first written about in a Jack Anderson article in The Washington Post in the fall of 1980, in which he alleged that the Carter administration was preparing a major military operation in Iran for rescuing U.S. hostages in order to help him get reelected. Subsequent allegations surfaced against Reagan alleging that his team had impeded the hostage release to negate the potential boost to the Carter campaign."

"After the release of the hostages on January 20, 1981, minutes after Reagan's inauguration, some charged that the Reagan campaign had made a secret deal with the Iranian government whereby the Iranians would hold the hostages until after Reagan was elected and inaugurated."

"Abolhassan Banisadr, the former President of Iran, has also stated that the Reagan campaign struck a deal with Teheran to delay the release of the hostages in 1980, asserting that by the month before the American Presidential election in November 1980, many in Iran's ruling circles were openly discussing the fact that a deal had been made between the Reagan campaign team and some Iranian religious leaders in which the hostages' release would be delayed until after the election so as to prevent President Carter's re-election. He repeated the charge in My Turn to Speak: Iran, the Revolution & Secret Deals with the U.S."

That is what the real October Surprise was about. The allegation that Earl Brian along with George Bush Sr. and William Casey from the CIA met with Iranians in Paris and bribed them to keep the hostages until after the election so President Reagan and Vice President Bush could get elected over Jimmy Carter. The allegations include the claim that the money they used to bribe the Iranians to delay the release of the hostages was from the $50 million Earl Brian embezzled from Nesbitt Thompson clients in Canada. That was the real October surprise. Which forces the question, if they bribed them to delay the release of hostages, did they set the whole thing up and bribe them to take the hostages in the first place just to win the election?

Iran contra was not about selling Iran arms to release hostages. The New York Times reported that "Congress moved quickly to get to the bottom of the affair, in which the Reagan Administration sold arms to Iran and diverted some proceeds to the Nicaraguan rebels." Iran contra was about selling Iran arms to fund the contra rebels in Nicaragua.

They were selling chemical weapons including mustard gas to Saddam Hussein and arms to Iran both at the same time. It had nothing to do with supporting democracy. It was about making money. The Gary Webb story showed the CIA was also letting their contra assets bring cocaine into the US to raise money for their cause creating the US crack epidemic. The exact same time George Bush Sr. was leading the war on drugs in the media he in reality created the problem.

The Site C Dam is better than a Nuclear Reactor

While we're on the subject of sustainable business, we need to talk about the Site C Dam. The mob is fickle and the politicians are spineless. As we speak an oil tanker is drifting aimlessly without power set to crash into the Haida Gwaii off the BC coast. Are we supposed to sit back and watch it happen? Of course not. The coast guard was able to tow it away from running aground temporarily to buy enough time for some tug boats to get there to take control of the situation.

Some people will complain about anything and everything no matter what. There is no pleasing everyone. Some people even complained about the wind generator they put on Grouse mountain. Come on. Are we really supposed to sit at home in the dark without computers, iPhones or Internet and not go anywhere? Oil spills, tar sands and toxic tailing pools of fresh water are legitimate environmental concerns. Nuclear reactors are another.

As we speak the Fukishima reactor is still leaking radioactive water into the pacific ocean contaminating an ocean of fish and an entire food supply. Instead of arguing back and forth trying to hide and deny that fact, let's put our heads together and stop the freaking leak. We can argue about clean up until the cows come home. Until then let's stop the leak and stop it from getting worse. Hiding that ongoing disaster is not socially responsible.

There are huge concerns with nuclear reactors. As we have seen, they are dangerous and can create serious health risks in any natural disaster. As we have seen, they produce radioactive waste that is virtually impossible to dispose of safely. Not only that, but when we give China, Libya or anywhere else nuclear reactors we give them the technology and materials to make nuclear weapons. That is not socially responsible. As we speak Stephen Harper has relaunched the nuclear arms race.

In contrast, hydro electric dams are much safer and environmentally friendly. Next time you go to Grouse mountain, stop off at the Cleavland Dam and take a look at the horrible environmental damage that longstanding dam has done to the ecosystem. It has created a wonderful park and lake that is still used as a water shed for drinking water. It is totally clean and has powered Vancouver for many years.

Have you ever gone boating on Stave Lake or Alouette lake? Those lakes were created by hydro electric dams. There are numerous dams in the lower mainland that have served us well. They are clean and sustainable. As I've said, some people will complain about everything given the chance. Flooding a forest is an initial concern. So log it first before it's taken out by a forest fire or the pine beetle. If people own land that will be flooded, they have to be fairly compensated.

Years ago I was handing out flyers in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery. A couple of transient punk rocker kids were giving me a hard time and yelled out "How many trees did it take to make your flyers?!" Without hesitation I yelled back "How many trees did it take the last time you went to the bathroom?!" He stopped in his tracks and with a stunned look on his face turned to his girlfriend as if to ask what the hell I was talking about. She finally broke the awkward silence by saying "Toilet paper. Everyone uses toilet paper and it takes trees to make toilet paper." The guy just kind of pondered that for a while and realized that he and everyone else uses trees to some extent. The challenge is to be sustainable. Cut down a tree and plant three in it's place. That's responsible. Clear cutting forests without tree planting is not.

When I look at the Site C Dam proposal it looks like a freaking park with a lake that would be teaming with boaters and recreational uses. It's a lot better than a nuclear reactor. It never ceases to amaze me that with all the relatively modern technology of splitting an atom, all the brain surgeons do with it is create heat to boil water to turn a steam turbine that generates electricity. The same thing a hydro electric Dam does only not as effective. Hydro electric dams are the power of nature. Imagine tapping the power of the Niagara falls. That's what hydro electric dams do.

The only real concern that I can see is the risk to spawning salmon. So how do we respond? We create a fish hatchery which improves the survival rate of the Salmon. On your way to Grouse mountain and the Cleavland Dam on Capliano Road, stop off at the fish ladder and hatchery on the way. You can see if for yourself and hike all around that wonderful sustainable ecosystem.

Take a look at the location of the proposed Dam. There are already two dams on the same river up stream. Stave Lake and Bunsen Lake are a chain of dams and tunnels that lead into other dams. That's good business. We would be much better off helping China build hydro electric dams then helping them build coal plants and nuclear reactors to reignite the nuclear arms race.



Note: Using the site C Dam to collect water to sell to the US for fracking would be a bad idea. Using the dam to generate electricity is a good idea. Electric cars need electricity to operate.

Exporting Fresh Water for Fracking

I realize there has been a huge ongoing campaign about fresh waters sales from Canada to the United States and to be quite frank, I never understood why. Water is a renewable resource. It evaporates and come back to us as rain. Now I realize why it is a concern. They are polluting massive amounts of water for fresh water fracking.

CBC is reporting that "the Western Canada Wilderness Committee and the Sierra Club filed a petition against the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission and energy company EnCana Corp. over the commission's decision to grant repeat short-term water approvals to the company. The environmental groups wanted the court to declare the approvals a violation of the provincial Water Act. They also asked a judge to quash several such permits issued to Encana. But in a decision posted this week on the court website, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Shelley Fitzpatrick dismissed the application."

Why was the application dismissed? "Days before the court hearing began, the provincial government introduced its updated Water Sustainability Act, which expressly allows recurrent short-term approvals. But the previous legislation did not prohibit such approvals." Christy Clark and the BC Liberals changed the law that they were breaking days before the trial. The Water Sustainability Act does the exact opposite of what it claims just like Harper's not about Crime bill does and just like the US Patriot Act does.

"Court heard that in 2012, the oil and gas commission granted the industry access to 20.4 million cubic metres of surface water. About seven million were for fracking — 54 per cent of that from short-term approvals." The judge lied and said only a small percentage of the water the US gets from Canada is being used in fresh water fracking. That is a lie. The US is using massive amounts of fresh water for fracking. Instead of using it for drinking or irrigation they use it for fracking. We give them water for drinking and irrigation so they can use theirs for fracking. It's that simple.

Recently Gwyn Morgan criticized New Brunswick and Nova Scotia's decision to join with Quebec to ban fracking because of the massive amounts of water it pollutes. Apparently they have banned liquid propane fracking as well as fresh water fracking. There is a huge difference between the two. Fresh water fracking involves putting massive amounts of toxic chemicals into the water to make fracking fluid which leaves toxic tailing ponds behind. Fracking with propane does not.

As one blog reader pointed out, fracking with liquid natural gas doesn't pollute massive amounts of fresh water like fresh water fracking does. He claims one Alberta company does fracking with propane not water and they have some oil wells in northern BC. The problem is not all the BC oil wells use propane fracking instead of fresh water fracking.

The same concern exists in the United States. The massive amounts of fresh water they are still using for fracking is creating a drought from Texas to California. We need to put a moratorium on fresh water fracking in BC and the export of BC water for fresh water fracking. Claiming they aren't uing it for fracking is untrue. If the BC Liberals won't do it we need to elect someone else who will.

Heating with natural gas is good. Heating with coal is bad. Fracking with liquid propane is good. Fracking with fresh water is bad. Fracking with liquid propane costs more. That's why some companies won't do it. The public need to force them to. It's a matter of public safety.

Seniors take on Canada Post

The Globe and Mail is reporting that Seniors and the disabled are taking on Canada Post over their unilateral decision to remove door to door delivery. The scam was introduced based on the lie that the company is struggling financially. They have consistently made a profit year after year and pay dividends to the Canadian government which has considerably added to the tax revenue.

The only reason Canada Post could possibly manipulate the numbers is by including huge expenditures on US sorting machines that don't work in Canada because of our six digit postal code as opposed to the lengthy US zip codes. Canada Post regularly lies to the media and the media blindly reprints those lies without thinking or questioning them. Canada Post already implemented a massive price increase on stamps to help offset the costs of the old machines that don't work in Canada. Ask Rick Mercer what he thinks.

Canada Post needs to be publicly accountable. Eliminating door to door delivery is a bad idea. It adversely affects seniors and the disabled and it puts the security of the queen's mail at risk.

Save the Dream, Stop Moya Green. Oh right she ran off to shaft England. Now they've contracted out her axe murdering position to derail Canada Post just like she did to CN and to Bombardier when she was with them. Buyer Beware. Moya Greene is Bad for Business. Public services need to be publicly accountable. Privatizing Canada Post will remove public accountability and reduce tax revenue which means taxpayers will have to come up with the loss in tax revenue.

Vancouver Civic Election Nonsense

Speaking of the communist take over of Canada, take a look at Meena Wong's brainstorm. She's the COPE candidate for the mayor of Vancouver. The Vancouver Observer is reporting that she wants to implement a $30 a month Transit pass. She wants to force every citizen to buy one like they force every University student to buy one even if they live on campus. That my friend is communism. I don't ride the sky train. It sucks. I shouldn't be forced to buy something I don't use.

She also wants to introduce a $15 minimum wage. A nice idea but who's going to pay for it? The provincial government sets minimum wage not the city. She is overstepping jurisdiction and is just getting extreme. Larry Campbell was a good guy. Vancouver's own Da Vincci. COPE has never been able to get it together since him. I realize they are typically left leaning but these guys are a bit weird for my comfort zone.

In Vancouver I'm going to have to go with Kirk LaPointe and the NPA. They support business and oppose the toxic garbage incinerator. That is common sense. Ever Gregor Robertson and Vision Vancouver is becoming weird and extreme. Looks like we've come full circle.

Here in Surrey Barinder Rasode, the one that shafted the entire Sikh community on the conflicted Gateway Casino scam, now wants to do away with election signs. Nobody likes 50 million election signs everywhere but eliminating them completely? Come on, that's a bit weird.

I'll admit that having Linda Hepner's painful face plastered all over the city is indeed a form of air pollution. There should be a fine for that. Yet it does fall under free speech and they have to come down after the election is over. Obviously the reason Rasode is concerned about election signs is because she doesn't have the financial backing the others do which once again puts her credibility into question. However, does it always have to be the richest candidate wins? That's not right either. We need to use common sense and shun extremism.

Fuel Tanker set to crash into Haida Gwaii - 2nd Update

MSN News is reporting that a ship, which had been travelling from Everett, Wash., to Russia, is carrying 400 tonnes of bunker fuel and 50 tonnes of diesel fuel has lost power and is drifting off the B.C. coast toward Haida Gwaii. On its Facebook page, the Council of the Haida Nation on Friday morning said “Coast Guard is preparing for the worst with the ship hitting ground in 3-4 hours” and called the situation “dire.” Mobilize. There is no reason this accident can't be prevented. Get a ship load of tugboats on the scene to steer it to safety.



CBC is now reporting that "the Canadian Coast Guard vessel Gordon Reid has managed to secure a line and is towing the incapacitated Russian cargo ship Simushir away from the Haida Gwaii coast, according to officials with the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria. Navy Lt. Paul Pendergast told CBC News the two vessels are currently moving away from the direction of land at a speed of approximately 1.5 nautical miles per hour. Three other vessels currently en route to the scene have greater tow capability that the Gordon Reid, and are expected to arrive early Saturday morning, Pendergast said." Thank God. This is another reason we need the coast guard in Vancouver that Stephen Harper cut.

Update: CBC is now reporting that the oil tanker is drifting again after the tow lie broke three times. The two other coast guard vessels arrived on scene but aren't properly equipped to secure a tow line. Well that wasn't very smart. Send in some freaking tug boats. This is important. Dispatch the tug boats. Send three new tow lines to the coast guard vessels on scene by helicopter. Use all three tow lines at once so they don't break. Come on scare crow. Use your brain.

Drive by shooting in Surrey

The Surrey Now is reporting that there was a drive by shooting in Surrey 8:40 p.m. Wednesday, in the 12100-block of 82nd Avenue. Numeorus shots were fired into a house in Newton. People were inside the house at the time.

BC Local News is reporting that a Maple ridge man named Christopher Leigh Harmes was in possession of fentanyl, a synthetic opiate that is similar to heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine.

Saskatoon Hells Angel uttered threats on camera

Last August we heard news that Saskatoon Hells Angel Jesse Bitz will stand trial in October for uttering threats kill the owner of Xtreme Mining and Demolition. Well, it's October and as several blog readers have pointed out, the trial is under way.

The Star Phoenix is reporting that Xtreme Mining’s owner, Leonard Banga, testified Bitz threatened to kill him on three occasions. Banga said he phoned Bitz on Dec. 23, 2012, after getting a report that Bitz had been caught sleeping on the job by an employee at the Agrium Vanscoy potash mine and then threatened the employee. Banga said he told Bitz, “If you get caught sleeping at work and you threaten somebody, you’re fired.” Bitz replied, “‘Nobody fires a f----n Hells Angel’ ... He said if I try to fire him, he’s going to f---n kill me,” Banga told court.

Banga’s wife Michelle also testified on Tuesday. She said she was sitting next to Banga during the phone conversation and could clearly hear Bitz yelling, “You can’t fire a Hells Angel, you’re f----n dead.” Testifying in his own defence, Bitz said he remembered the conversation differently. He denied saying he’d kill Banga. “I told him I’d smash his face in,” Bitz testified.

"On Dec. 31, 2012, Banga and Bitz met south of Saskatoon, but that conversation didn’t go well, ending in a fight on the side of road. Banga said Bitz threw the first punch and the fight ended when he wrestled Bitz to the ground." Bitz threw the first punch and his boss took him to the ground. The two men didn’t have any more contact until they ran into each other on June 24, 2013, at Cabela’s. Banga said Bitz started yelling at him, saying he’d never forget what happened on the side of the highway. (when the boss kicked his ass)

“The only reason you’re still alive is because you have Hells Angels working for you,” Banga said Bitz told him. “Once you don’t have Hells Angels working for you, I’m going to kill you and your family.” Banga’s wife was with him and testified Bitz said similar words that day. Bitz testified that what he said was, “As soon as the last guy’s done working for you, I’m going to put your teeth in the back of your head.”

OK so the brain surgeon that was caught sleeping on the job admits to uttering threats in colours on several occasions. He claims he threatened to assault his boss, witnesses claim he made death threats. The fact is, by his own admission, he threatened his boss in coulors on more than one occasion. On top of that he was caught on video confronting his boss is a store.

The Star Phoenix posted the video the court saw were the Hells Angel wearing colours storms into the store right after his boss and girlfriend enters it, confronts him with his finger in his face then storms out showing his colours for the security camera. This guy is brain dead. Threatens someone in colours on camera in front of a witness. Good luck with that buddy. Who's a dead man now? The Saskatoon Hells Angels are suing for wrongful dismissal. If they only had a brain.

Kelowna drug bust

Castanet is reporting that on Oct 10, members of the Kelowna RCMP Street Enforcement Teams (SET) concluded a four week long drug trafficking investigation with the execution of simultaneous search warrants residences in the 200 block of Mills Road and the 1400 block of Crawford Road.

Only a trace amount of heroin, hash and ecstasy was found but Castanet is also reporting that on August 22nd police seized a kilo of cocaine and a kilo of crystal meth out of a vehicle in Kelowna. Two Kelowna men in their 30'a have been arrested and charged. I'm assuming it's the same two in the previous seizure. Names have not yet been released for some strange reason.

Saanich drug bust tied to Vancovuer gang - again

The Vancouver Province is reporting that "Saanich police have arrested six people believed to have ties to gangs on the Lower Mainland following an investigation into a drug-trafficking operation in an apartment on Gorge Road West." No names have been released yet. Police seized 26 litres of GHB, 100 grams of crystal meth and four ounces of heroin as well as a semi automatic rifle.

Name the accused and name the criminal organization. Although these are low level dealers, the last high level drug bust in Saanich with ties to a lower mainland gang were connected to the Independent Soldiers who work for the Hells Angels. Very problematic indeed since Saanich drug dealers have been implicated in Lindsey Buziak's murder.

Lindsay Buziak's ex boyfriend who she was trying to leave was friends with top level drug dealers in Saanich and Langford. Ziggy Matheson and Ali Ziaee were charged in that bust. Careful how far you go down that rabbit hole. You might end up back at BC Rail and implicate the BC Liberals.

Last June Hells Angels associate Bryce Cameron McDonald from Courtney was charged with various offenses after 19 firearms were seized by the CFSU along with six grams of crack cocaine, a machete and equipment believed to be used for the sale of drugs. Imagine that.

Lethal injection kits produce 31 overdoses

This is a lethal injection kit from the assisted suicide centre at Insite. Yesterday the Vancouver Province reported that there were 21 overdoses at Insite in two days. The spike in overdoses has prompted police to issue another warning about "bad" heroin on the street. Not that there's any such thing as good heroin because it is a poison but this batch is even worse which is indeed a public health risk.

So how about arresting the drug dealers selling the bad heroin? Is that really such an outrageous thought? How can we issue parking tickets but not arrest drug dealers selling harmful drugs in public? That is unequal protection of the law.

Today the Vancouver Province is reporting that it's now 31 overdoses. Insite and the needle exchange program is a failed social experiment. It is dramatically increasing the number of addicts not decreasing them. Harm reduction is in reality harm promotion and the only ones benefiting are the drug dealers selling the poison on the street.

You don't give alcohol to alcoholics as treatment. That would not be humane or socially responsible. Likewise, helping heroin addicts slowly kill their brain and body is not a humane response to addiction. Turning people into zombies has nothing to do with promoting health and welfare. It is the exact opposite. [Dr. Colin Mangham on Insite]

There's a bad batch of ecstasy out there as well. One woman in Saanich just about died from it. The Vancouver Province is reporting that "the active ingredient in ecstasy is MDMA — a drug often not even included in batches of ecstasy."

Freedom isn't determined by a poll

The Vancouver Province ran an editorial today by Langley MP Mark Warawa. In it, he claims that Fundamental freedoms cannot be determined by a poll. He's absolutely right. He is referring to the Law Society of B.C's decision to have a vote on whether or not they should allow law graduates from Trinity Western University.

Religions discrimination is illegal. Period. It is illegal for them to refuse to recognize law graduates from Trinity Western University because of their religious beliefs. Period. There are religious law schools in the United States and they are all recognize in the US. No one likes religion crammed down their throat but it goes both ways.

Gay marriage is simple. Allow civil Gay marriage and allow churches to perform Gay marriage if they elect to do so. However, you cannot force a region to perform Gay marriage if it is contrary to their beliefs. It's that simple. Some people hate Christianity. However, this could aply to a Jewish or Muslim University as well. A free republic guarantees the freedom of religion. That right isn't subject to an opinion poll. [Law Society Bans Gay Lawyers]

Outlaws in Saskatoon

July 2014 the Metro News reported that "According to Saskatoon police Det.-Insp. Jerome Engele, intelligence shows the Outlaws motorcycle club has seven full-patch members in the city." This is a picture of some of them getting their patches Christmas 2013.

I'm all for a free market. I do like a V -twin with a skull better than a feathered helmeted skull with devil horns. One is cool, the other is not. Yet I don't like crack dealers period. My eBook will explain why. The Outlaws are traditionally Hells Angels rivals. Yet one source is claiming that these Outlaws in Saskatoon pay into the Saskatoon MC coalition which is run and controlled by the Saskatoon Hells Angles.



Obviously this recent Hells Angels fraud bust in Saskatchewan is going to hurt their recruitment and public support. I have said that I rather see Outlaws in Surrey than Hells Angels. Yet that local clown claiming to be a prospect for the Outlaws in Surrey calling up the paper and filling them full of BS has got to go. I don't have beef with Doc Riddoch. I just don't support the business they have sanctioned through Larry Amero or what their puppets did to Janice Shore.

It's time to move forward. It's time to grow up. "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." It's time for you to do the same. Leave the life and have a fresh start.

Soviet Criminal Act vs US Patriot Act

I stumbled across an interesting youtube video of another whistle blower getting shafted by the US Patriot Act and they made a passing reference to how the US Patriot Act is very similar to the Soviet Criminal Act. Some people have since claimed that they used the Soviet Criminal Act as a model when drafting the US Patriot Act. Truthers and Debunkers will then argue yes they did, no they didn't back and forth until the intent of the claim is lost completely.

It doesn't matter whether or not they used the Soviet Criminal Act as a model when they drafted the US Patriot act. The fact is they are both very similar. Both are also very similar to the German Enabling Act which is yet another example of how two different roads lead to the same place.

I always find it strange how Fascists and Communists hate each other so much when in reality both extremes lead to the same destination: Dictatorship. The inherit problem with all three documents is the removal of civil liberty and the destruction of a free republic which is what the US Constitution was framed to preserve and protect.

The US Patriot Act is illegal because it violates the US Constitution which is the highest law of the land. The first and most important right that it removes is the right to due process. The right to have a lawyer, a fair and speedy trial, even the requirement of the State to charge you with an offense before they arrest you. If there is no charge they are not allowed to arrest you according to the law established in the US Constitution.

The US Patriot Act removes that crucial requirement. Susan Lindauer was an American citizen whose Constitutional rights were thrown out the window under the US Patriot Act. She also warns how under the act rights can be removed for environmentalists or any other group the State chooses violating the freedom of association as well as everything else the Constitution stands for.

She also explained how Gaddafi was an advocate for woman rights. Women were allowed to say no to a marriage proposal under Gaddafi's regime. They didn't have to wear the complete burka either. We helped the Islamic extremists over throw and murder Gaddafi. The same rag tag extremists we now claim are a more serious threat to world peace then Communist China. I beg to differ. These rag tag extremists are being used as a cover for removing civil liberty and throwing away the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights here at home.

In the US we saw two groups rise: the Occupy Wall Street movement and the Tea Party. I submit that both extremes had a common interest. Preserving and protecting civil liberty in the Constitution. Americans pledge allegiance to their flag as opposed to a politician. "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

"And to the Republic for which it stands." The intent of the pledge of allegiance is to protect the free republic which is what the flag is supposed to represent. The US Patriot act is a violation of the pledge of allegiance. Elected officials in the United States take that pledge one step further. When they are sworn into office they swear an oath to defend the Constitution. Every politician that voted for the US Patriot Act broke their oath of office.

There's a new movement rising in the United States. They're called Oath Keepers. Police and military officials and supporters who are outraged at how the Constitution was violated during hurricane Katrina. They made an oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies both foreign and domestic and they intend on keeping that oath.

Thanksgiving has always been a time to stop and express gratitude for all the things we have to be grateful for - a job, a roof over our head, food on the table, the freedom and liberty we enjoy. Yet right now we are being robbed of that freedom and it isn't being taken by a handful of rag tag extremists, it is being taken by enemies in office who have burnt the flag and have broken their oath to defend the Constitution. This Thanksgiving is a call to arms. Oath Keepers arise. "Gentlemen may cry peace peace but there is no peace. The war is already begun."

Jamie Bacon accused of ordering hit on Dennis Karbovanec

A blog reader recently referred to this and despite it's significance and relevance I had entirely missed it. The Abby news reported that on Dec. 31, 2008: Dennis Karbovanec survived a targeted shooting in Mission at an undisclosed location. He was wearing body armor at the time.

CBC reported that Five alleged members and associates of the United Nations gang have pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court to conspiring to kill the worthless Bacon brothers in 2008 and 2009. However, the UN hasn't been charged in the 2008 shooting of DK in Mission. That's because Jamie Bacon has. I can't post a link to the media report confirming the charges because it contains things that are covered in ongoing publication bans.

I can confirm that Jamie Bacon has been charged with ordering the hit on Dennis Karbovanec on December 31st 2008. I'm not going to name the person accused of doing the shooting but I will name Jamie Bacon as the one accused of hiring him to shoot his own guy. This is somewhat profound because DK was a Bacon Brother associate. DK kind of took over Person Y's role as Jamie Bacon's body guard when Person Y was in jail.

Person Y testified in court that he cooperated in the Surrey Six investigation because he saw the loyalty among these thieves was a complete lie. This proves it. This is why so many hitmen for the Hells Angels flip. They keep getting betrayed by the people who hired them. Just like in the Vancouver Christmas of /95 hit.

Linda Hepner's campaign billboards

Yesterday we started seeing Linda Hepner's campaign billboards popping up all over the city. I don't want to be mean but that woman looks like she just crawled out from under the house that fell on the witch in the Wizard of OZ. She does not have an honest face. I guess it's just because of all the toxic bullying of Barinder and the Campbell Heights scam. She so desperately wants Barinder's ruby slippers her jealousy has become painful to watch. Only Barinder doesn't have the ruby slippers. She's not mayor yet. There are others more qualified running for the position.



In contrast McCallum is talking about shutting down the SCDC which clearly is a good thing and balancing the budget which needs to be done. A 3% reduction in operational expenses isn't much if he plans on getting rid of the new ivory tower and going back to the old city hall in the prime location. Yet there's no Wizard of Oz drama there. Just common sense.

Thankfully the Safe Surrey Coalition signs are also appearing. They look somewhat more normal and hopeful. It doesn't look like the unHappy Bunny promoting herself. It looks like a team ready to do business and balance the budget fixing Diane Watts' ivory tower fiscal catastrophe.

Kill the Messenger

Last night on ET they made reference to a new movie about the Gary Webb story called Kill the Messenger. That is awesome. It totally ties in with Operation Fast and Furious. Very timely since December is Gary Webb appreciation month. This December 10th will be the 10th anniversary of his murder. Jeremy Renner from the Avengers plays Garry Webb in the new movie.

I think it's awesome that Jeremy Renner has helped bring this pivotal story to life on the big screen. Martin Luther King was right. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again simply because no lie can live forever. This is an actual interview with Gary Webb in real life before his murder.

This is an overview of the story called Crack the CIA and of course the famous video of former LAPD officer Mike Rupert confronting the director of the CIA with the fact that the Agency tried to recruit him to sell drugs for them in LA years prior. Mike Rupert also died of a suspicious suicide after he went into hiding posting on his blog From the Wilderness.

There's another related documentary coming about Freeway Ricky's role in the CIA's LA crack cocaine ring called Crack in the System due to be released October 17 2014. Yo bro this ain't over yet. "Gentlemen may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. The war is already begun."



In Vancouver Kill the Messenger is playing at the Cineplex Odeon International Village Cinemas 88 West Pender Street. There is free parking in the underground of the International Village.

I have now seen the movie and I must admit Jeremy Renner nails it. I'm shocked the Rolling Stone Magazine gave it a so so rating. The movie was awesome. It's not the kind of movie you walk away having a warm fuzzy feeling. It makes you sad and a bit scared to know how messed up the media and the government really is and how much control the CIA has over both. It's a true story that was buried and needs to get out because it wasn't the first or the last time it happened. Operation Fast and Furious shows it's still happening today.

The movie concludes with the fact that although John Deutch, the director of the CIA when Gary Webb released his articles resigned and a 400 page report admitting Gary Webb was right was produced, the world was more concerned with the Bill Clinton Monika Lewinsky scandal to even notice. The Gary Webb story wasn't an isolated incident. The Judge Bonner story was similar but because of his standing he didn't get the same backlash Gary Webb did.

Judge Bonner said when he was in charge of the DEA the CIA brought a ton of cocaine into Florida which hit the streets. The CIA passionately denied it all the way right up until he went on 60 Minutes and documented everything. Then they finally admitted it but said that was the only time and it was a mistake because they were trying to track it to arrest higher level drug dealers. However, just like in Fast and Furious that was a lie because they made absolutely no effort to track the cocaine after it hit the streets. Sadly the movie points out that Gary Webb was eventually found dead in his apartment. He was shot in the head twice. His death was ruled a suicide. Just like Mike Rupert and many others.

This pattern has been used by the CIA since it's inception. Bo Gritz and Terry Reed both testified the Agency was responsible for massive amounts of heroin trafficking during Vietnam. In the Gary Webb story one could see them use the argument the end justifies the means yet in Operation Fast and Furious there is no such excuse. My book will connect the dots and tie it all together.

Calgary Hells Angels implicated in another fraud

Speaking of fraud, the StarPhoenix is reporting that "The man accused of defrauding Saskatchewan investors and funneling the money to Alberta Hells Angels has pleaded guilty. Joshua D. Johnston pleaded guilty to four counts: fraud over $5,000, fraud under $5,000, possession of the proceeds of crime and laundering the proceeds of crime."

"Between June 2008 and the fall of 2010, Johnston defrauded 15 Saskatchewan victims of a total of $1.2 million. He solicited the money for use in various real estate ventures, promising high rates of return, but instead spent the money on himself or transferred it to other individuals, some of them high ranking Hells Angels members in Calgary." Quite similar to what Jahan Meshkati was accused of doing for Ken Leblanc.

"The supposed real estate ventures included a land sale in Aberdeen, an apartment conversion in Brooks, Alta., and high-end housing sales in Calgary. One of the names that came up in the investigation was Jahanbakhsh Meshkati, who was often involved in the supposed property deals. Police never managed to locate him to question him about the alleged fraud." That's because he was shot dead in Vancouver for scamming the wrong people.

Mexico captures Juarez Cartel chief

CNN is reporting that "Mexican federal authorities say they've captured Juarez Cartel leader Vicente Carrillo Fuentes." Although they claim he was one of Mexico's most wanted criminals they admit that the Juarez Cartel's influence had been waning after a lengthy battle for territory with the Sinaloa Cartel.

The Sinaloa Cartel is the one the CIA endorsed allowing the ATF to sell guns and bring back tons of cocaine from into the United States and likely Canada under Operation Fast and Furious. Basically we are announcing the capture of one of the CIA's drug dealing rivals.

Drtomoconnor.com is reporting that "the Juarez Cartel (led by Vicente Carrillo Fuentes and top lieutenant Juan Pablo Ledezma) has a long history, but the short of it is that they encroached on Columbian enclaves on the U.S. East Coast and were pretty good at maintaining alliances with other cartels, that is, until about 2004 when they started a deadly battle with the Sinaloa cartel for control of Ciudad Juarez. They mostly rely on a hit squad of contract killers and former police officers ("La Linea"), led by Jose Antonio Acosta Hernandez ("El Diego"), himself a former state police officer who was building an empire of his own up to his arrest in 2011."

I can't even find them listed on the cartel map but npr.org is reporting they held 5% of the market.

RCMP and CSIS profile terrorists

MSN News is reporting that "the head of the RCMP for the first time said the national police force has 63 active national security investigations open in Canada targeting 90 individuals suspected in terrorism probes. However, Commissioner Bob Paulson told the public safety committee that Canadians need not worry, that the force is on top of the files, and working well with CSIS and other law enforcement agencies."

Bob Paulson said don't worry the RCMP is working with CSIS? Before the RCMP shares ANY intel with CSIS they need to charge CSIS with murder in the Air India bombing which their handler helped plan and provided the explosives for. So tell me, how many of these 90 terrorists they are profiling are 70 year old environmentalists that oppose the Enbridge pipeline?

When the RCMP teamed up with CSIS for a terrorist probe in Surrey it ended up in a bold faced lie. The Surrey pressure cooker bomb plot was a complete fraud. The Canada Day allegation was a lie. The mark was originally arrested March 2nd. He was charged again June 25th. There was no means or motive other than the fact that CSIS gave them a pressure cooker which they had absolutely no idea how to make a bomb out of. They had food in it.

While the RCMP are tracking terrorists how about tracking the 1.5 billion dollars a year that is lost not just spent in the anti terrorism budget. If that kind of fiscal irresponsibility isn't an act of domestic terrorism, I don't know what is.

Michel Coulombe replaced Richard Fadden as head of the Canadian Spy Agency that did the Air India bombing after Richard Fadden went public with the fact that Communist China has substantial influence over various unnamed Canadian politicians. Coulombe, who has been with CSIS since 1986, told a parliamentary committee in March that radicalization, or homegrown terrorism, was the spy agency’s “No. 1 priority.”

Destroying civil liberty here at home is their number one priority. Taxpayer Beware. This pencil neck means business. More tax dollars will be lost and recklessly spent on more fake bomb plots like the Toronto 18, Via Rail and the insane Surrey Pressure cooker fraud. These are dark days ahead Harry Potter. Voldamort is in the House. Another season of fraud to steal our civil liberty.

Bill Tieleman reported: “James Cromitie was a low-level ex-drug dealer who converted to Islam. A well-paid FBI informant befriended the Walmart worker and promised him $250,000 and a new BMW car to fire Stinger surface-to-air missiles at U.S. military planes and plant bombs at Jewish targets in New York.” They paid a drug addict to fires missiles they gave him at US military targets and plant bombs at Jewish targets in New York. That is what they already did.

Does this mean they are going to do what Australia did and shoot an innocent man dead to cover their tracks so it can't be proved they are lying? Australians are known for being tough. A short skinny, soft spoken kid attacks two tough armed Australian police officers with a knife at the police station they ordered him to come to because they were profiling him. Nothing about that case makes sense. He was not a terrorist. I can tell you that. Why would a tiny kid attack two armed cops and why did they have to fatally shoot him in "self defense." If he wanted to be a martyr, he would have brought a bomb. He didn't bring a bomb because he wasn't a terrorist. They murdered an innocent man. Just remember who crashed the Nugan Hand bank in Australia. No conspiracy theorist made that up. That is history. Don't let it happen again.



When someone steals a car, the police investigate. You would think when someone steals $1.5 billion tax dollars a year, the police would be all over that. Yet it isn't even being investigated because it involves CSIS and is therefor classified. Go figure.

As for the kid in Australia they shot, his family is a friend of my family. The man I know was a cop in Afghanistan. He was shot by the Taliban and had to leave Afghanistan with his family. Why on earth would a kid join a terrorist organization that shot a member of his own family and were the reason they had to leave Afghanistan? The answer is simple. He didn't. He was not a terrorist. They set up and shot an innocent man.
