Surrey Shooting

Well, back to reality. CBC is reporting that there was a shooting in Surrey last night as four youths tried to force there way into a home at the 3000 block of Croydon Drive.

Honorary Chief of Chechen Night Wolves

The Moscow Times is reporting that Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov announced over the weekend that he had become the honorary leader of a new regional branch of the Night Wolves, a group of political bikers in Russia.

Speaking of Chechnya, Russian intelligence was caught planting a bomb in Chechnya and blamed it on terrorist just like the Americans. September 22, 1999, locals in the regional town of Ryazan saw three men emerging from the cellars of a block of flats who later turned out to be FSB officers. When local police checked the cellars they found sacks of high explosive wired up to a detonator. The FSB later attempted to explain away the incident by claiming that the entire operation was a training exercise. Kinda makes ya wonder about the wave of bombings that put Putin into power.

Speaking of the Americans, Graham Fuller was involved with Iran contra. The address for the Congress of Chechen International Organizations just happened to be the home address of Graham E. Fuller, formerly Vice Chairman of the Reagan-era CIA's National Intelligence Council.

Shots fired in Surrey

Surrey RCMP confirming shots were fired in the area of 134 Street and 70 B Avenue at around 8pm last night. The Vancouver Province is confirming the report. The Surrey Now is referring to it as the 28th local shooting since the beginning of March. Two random stabbings and two different parties as well.

Australia Comancheros close Clubhouse

The Herald Sun in Australia is reporting that the Comancheros MC has shut its original Victorian clubhouses in South Melbourne and Hallam under pressure from Victoria Police’s bikie Echo task force. Police have laid hundreds of charges against members of the club. The paper claims the vacuum left by the Comancheros has been filled by Australia’s newest outlaw club, the Mongols.

Former Comanchero president Mahmoud "Mick" Hawi was involved with that big fight at the airport where some Comancheros ran into some Hells Angels and ended up beating Anthony Zervas to death. Mahmoud was first found guilty of murder but appealed the conviction and was later allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter which only makes sense since it was the result of a fight in a chance meeting. There was no prior intent.

The Herald Sun is also reporting that "the Hells Angels, the club the Comancheros had replaced at the top of Victoria’s pecking order, has also experienced a period of change involving the toppling of several of its ranking members. Its most prominent identity, Peter Hewat, is no longer the sergeant-at-arms of its East County chapter in Campbellfield, following his arrest over allegations relating to his behaviour in the towing industry."

Peter Hewat, as we recall, was the Rat King. He was the Sergeant-at-arms for the Hells Angels East County Chapter in Campbellfield, Melbourne. That's the same chapter that kidnapped, gang raped and tortured a girl from Melbourne on another pig farm. It was frighteningly similar to the Pickton farm in Vancouver. Although the Melbourne girl was awarded a token criminal compensation for her injuries, no one was charged or convicted in that heinous crime.

Then there's the Chris Hudson story. They bribed him to betray his former club called the Finks to cross over to the Hells Angels. He was caught on video beating his ex in a bar, grabbing her by the hair and dragging her outside where he then kicked her in the head. Later that day he was assaulting his current girl friend in public when a lawyer and a Dutch backpacker came to her aid. He then pulled out a gun, shot all three and emptied the clip into the lawyer. The lawyer who was a father of three died but the other two survived. That is what the Hells Angels are doing down under.

March against Monsanto

CTV is reporting that "Protesters gathered in cities across the globe Saturday to rally against the American biotechnology giant Monsanto. The third-annual March Against Monsanto was held in several major Canadian cities, including Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary and Vancouver. In total, organizers said that events were being held in 428 cities in 38 countries."

The protest is about the abundance of Genetically Modified organisms which inject pesticides into food and modifies the seeds. It is a serious concern because it is wiping out bees which means cross pollination becomes obsolete. In Europe where GMO has been banned the bee population is starting to return. It's another example of corporate greed where large corporations get a monopoly on a market and wipe out all opposition. I first found out about GMO at a Stephen Harper protest in Kelowna. Consequently there was a large turnout in the Kelowna protest today.

Castanet is reporting that "organizers believe Monsanto is destroying farmer’s lives across the globe and making headway into owning the seeds that farmers are forced to use – which would be GMO." Conservatives are supposed to support small business and the free market but that is exactly the opposite of what Stephen Harper is doing. Instead he is helping large corporations destroy the free market by killing small business so they can gouge consumers as long as they pay a kickback to the politicians that enabled them.

We need to enforce GMO labeling by law. If someone wants to sell GMO produce it needs to be labeled accordingly. Failure to do that is fraud.

Ireland votes to approve Gay marriage

Vice News is reporting that Ireland became the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage by a national vote with 62% in favor. I think the key word here is marriage. What two consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. Gay rape is just as heinous as heterosexual rape. Especial when it involves children. So although the church opposes the decision it clearly must take the board out of it's own eye before it takes the speck out of it's neighbors.

Suspicious fire in Courtenay

CBC is reporting that a suspicious fire in Courtney yesterday. The Comox Valley Record is reporting that a witness described multiple explosions. Police have obtained a search warrant and are investigating the possibility of a drug lab.

Shooting outside Coquitlam Centre mall

CTV is confirming a News 1130 Twitter post about a shooting outside Coquitlam Centre mall this afternoon. Global is reporting that "calls came in to RCMP at about 3 p.m. saying one person had been shot near the Montana’s Restaurant."

There has also been an update on the biker brawl in Waco Texas. Breitbart.com is confirming the claim that all the bikers who were shot dead were shot dead by police. Their source is the Aging Rebel who was told that by the bikers or supporters.

Drug plane from Venezuela crashes off Colombia's coast

The Big Story is reporting that "a small plane en route from Venezuela with more than a ton of cocaine on board crashed into the Caribbean on Wednesday after being pursued by Colombia's air force. Venezuela has become a key transit country for cocaine produced in Colombia, with several government officials and high-level members of the military sanctioned by the United States for allegedly colluding with drug traffickers."

If it was heading to Florida or Mena, Arkansas it would of had safe passage. Remember Operation Watch Tower? It must have been a Farc trip as opposed to a Narco trip otherwise they wouldn't have shot it down. Video clip.

Ottawa pledges 100 more cops to fight Surrey Drug War

The Vancouver Province is reporting that Ottawa has pledged to hire 100 more Mounties in Surrey to respond to the dramatic increase in recent drug related shootings. What a crock of sh*t that is. You can fill every donut shop in Surrey with cops and it won't do a thing to stop the drug related violence as long as you continue to let drug dealers sell crack in Newton and outside the Front Room. If you don't arrest the crack dealers you are wasting everyone's time and money.

It's also a waste of time if you don't transfer Bill Fordy out of Surrey and put a professional in that will actually do the job. In the /80's when the US crack epidemic was thriving in south Seattle, I knew of two different police officers, as soon as they started putting pressure on the crack dealers and arresting them, they were transferred out of the area. We can't stop the gang violence until we stop the corruption in office that enables it and profits from it.

Welcome to the Brave New World where money talks and the bullsh*t never stops.

Police incident in New Westminster

News 1130 is reporting that there is a police incident at 1st & Royal Ave New Westminster. They also claim that it extends across New West, south Burnaby and into South Van. The Vancouver Sun reported that it was likely about "Police searching for an armed and dangerous man and woman following an attempted shooting and car chase through New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver."

Scan BC reported that #PortCoquitlam #RCMP are on scene with a person who has been shot in the head out front of a residence at 1100 Clerihue Road - unconfirmed. Global is reporting there was a shooting in Burnaby Tuesday night.

News 1130 is reporting that IHIT has been called in after police found a body in Richmond Tuesday.

9 dead in Texas biker brawl - New Update

CNN is reporting that Gunfire erupted Sunday among rival biker gangs in Waco, Texas, leaving at least nine people dead. Three rival groups were present. The violence erupted shortly after noon at a busy Waco marketplace along Interstate 35 that draws a large lunchtime crowd.

Seemingly it was between Bandidos and Cossacks. Law enforcement officials said the gun battle was primarily between the Bandidos and Cossacks gangs, a continuation of a long-running feud between the two groups, though members of the Scimitars and two other gangs were also involved. Texas police say 192 people are to face organized crime charges after the Waco bike-gang shooting that left nine people dead and 18 others injured.

Update: Mixed reports are coming in on this. It has been claimed that it was the police that fired all the shots which resulted in all the fatalities. That is worth finding out.

NEW Update: Breitbart.com is confirming those rumours by quoting a different account of what happened by the Aging Rebel. The Aging Rebel claims "When the restaurant refused to ban the Confederation of Clubs, police stationed at least 22 cops including ten Swat officers from the Waco P.D. and the Texas Department of Public Safety in the parking lot outside the restaurant. They did not station either uniformed or plain clothes officers in the restaurant."

"The shove in the bathroom became a scuffle in the restaurant. When about 30 Bandidos, Cossacks, Scimitars and other bikers spilled into the parking between the Twin peaks and the Don Carlos Mexican restaurant next door, the police were waiting for them. The scuffle became a knife fight and several men were stabbed. When one of the combatants produced a gun the Swat team opened fire with automatic weapons. Multiple sources have told The Aging Rebel that all of the dead were killed by police."

OK so the bikers claim everyone shot dead was shot by the police. Not necessarily a reliable source but at this point I'd say it's one step more reliable then the police on the scene which changes the events completely. Yes a fight broke out and yes someone pulled a gun and was going to shoot someone. So why not just shoot the guy who pulled the gun? Perhaps they also shot guys who pulled knives and were stabbing people.

We're never going to find out what really happened. The bikers who would have been shot by the biker who pulled the gun are still going to complain about the police saving their life. Just as the ones who were going to get stabbed next by the bikers with the knives are going to complain the police saved their life as well. The underlining question is, did SWAT over react and just use it as an excuse to exterminate bikers? We know a fight broke out and we know there is past history with those clubs. The Bandidos trying to tax the Cossacks. However we also know there is past history in Waco Texas with the Branch Dividians.

East Vancouver residents complain about dug related crime

This is the same problem that keeps repeating itself like a broken record. Residents complain about drug related crime while the police and the city refuse to do anything about it. The Vancouver Province is reporting that Residents of an East Vancouver neighbourhood say the City of Vancouver must respond to a “surge” of prostitutes, crime and drug activity that they say is endangering area families and harming children. The petitioners want the city to bar prostitution from residential neighbourhoods and contain it within a “red-light” district.

Banning drug addicted prostitution from residential neighborhoods is a no brainer. Yet creating a red light district is indeed problematic because drug addicted prostitution is nasty. The residents are fed up with the bizarre extreme they are facing and are willing to resort to any compromise to get it out of their neghourhood. Kensington-Cedar Cottage may be in East Vancouver but it is nowhere enar the DTES and it is indeed full of kids. Allowing that kind of criminal activity in a residential nehgbourhood is in itself criminal. So is rewarding outrageous behavior.

Likewise the Vancouver Province is reporting that "four men charged after a Downtown Eastside drug den was shut down and the premises sold have had their drug charges stayed by the federal Crown. Randolph Brown, Shawn Brown, Mark Chung and Dennis George Knibbs were charged on a 15-count indictment after police searched the former Backpacker Inn in the 600-block Alexander Street and seized more than $300,000 worth of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and crystal meth. An estimated $50,000 in cash was also seized."

Do you remember that case? The police sent out press releases patting themselves on the back for busting a ruthless drug ring that was exploiting addicts and the crown drops the charges. The pattern of corruption continues. Once again the problem is the public drug dealing of crack.

Handing out free crack kits or free crack pipes is not the answer and is the exact opposite of the New York model everyone raves about. Crack pipe vending machines aren't the answer either. They are promoting the problem instead of confronting it. Homelessness and rising rents are a legitimate concern. People need homes not drugs.

Alberta lawyer goes to jail for mortgage fraud

The Edmonton Sun is reporting that "a 'rogue' lawyer who was the complicit 'lapdog' of the ringleader of a $6 million Alberta mortgage fraud was put behind bars Friday for his part in the financial crime. Roy Elander, 65, was sentenced to 3-1/2 years in prison and ordered to pay $426,000 in restitution after earlier being convicted of 14 counts of fraud over $5,000. The judge ruled Elander was “instrumental” in facilitating the central Alberta mortgage fraud - orchestrated by Allan MacMullin - while acting as a lawyer for both the financial institutions involved and the straw buyers. "

The Edmonton Sun previously reported that the actual ringleader, Allan MacMullin, was given a 10 year sentence and ordered to pay more than $1 million in restitution to two financial institutions and various individual straw buyers after earlier being convicted of 38 counts of fraud over $5,000.

Another case of Mortgage Fraud in Alberta involved more than 100 people including Devinder Shory, Stephen Harper's Conservative MP for Calgary Northeast. CBC reported that the Bank of Montreal settled out of court with all but a handful of the 160 people involved after the insurance fund for lawyers, the Alberta Lawyers Insurance Association (ALIA) agreed to pay $9.2 million to BMO to settle the case on behalf of all 17 lawyers named in the suit which stopped the RCMP's criminal investigation dead in it's tracks.

Calgary Hells Angel associate Ali El-Sayed was convicted of being a "ringleader" of another mortgage fraud in Alberta. Ken LeBlanc and Ali El-Sayed's other associate Jahan Meshkati was shot dead in BC last year. Nobody likes a scammer.

Reno Lee murder

Police aren't saying exactly how or when Reno Lee was murdered but they are saying they found Lee's body north of Balcarres, Saskatchewan which is north west of Regina and the investigation began on April 23. On May 15th CJME reported that the Regina Police Service announced John Earl Desjarlais, 30, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of Reno Lee.

CJME is also reporting that Four people are charged with first-degree murder: 31-year-old Daniel Theodore, 21-year-old Andrew Michael Bellegarde, 30-year-old Bronson Gordon, and Desjarlais. Desjarlais was already facing charges of kidnapping and aggravated assault in connection to Lee's death. Joni Victoria Reed, 29, has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder. CTV is reporting that 30-year-old Bronson Chad Gordon of Regina was arrested in Edmonton. CTV posted the above picture of Bronson who is one of the four men charged in Reno Lee's murder.

Newfoundland drug bust tied to Whiterock

BC Local News is reporting that "A White Rock man has been arrested on the East Coast in connection with one of the biggest drug busts in Newfoundland and Labrador’s history. Arlen Nathan Hodge was due to appear in Newfoundland Provincial Court today, on drug-related charges." 10 kilograms of cocaine, 300 pounds of marijuana, two kilograms of pure MDMA and two kilograms of a substance known as ‘shatter’, which is a chemical derived from marijuana were seized." The Telegram has posted pictures of the suspect.

46 Pharmacies confronted for abuses to the methadone program

Well this is a small step forward. The Surrey Leader is reporting that "The B.C. government intends to effectively shut down as many as 46 Lower Mainland pharmacies by excluding them from the PharmaCare program in the wake of a review that flagged various abuses. Letters have gone out to the pharmacies giving them three weeks to argue why they shouldn't be denied the ability to bill the publicly funded drug plan effective next month."

"A regulatory change that took effect in December now allows the ministry to refuse to do business with pharmacies with a history of problematic business and billing practices, and forces them to disclose their ownership, management and track record."

At least we're starting to talk about some of the many abuses in that system. Slum Lord Greg Woolsey brought his DTES scam to Surrey. We was one of the slum lords that forced tenants to get their methadone prescriptions filled though him. He was running bogus recovery homes in Newton. They were flop houses where addicts could do drugs and use tax paid methadone.

This recent article is referring to scams the actual pharmacies pull. Yet the biggest and most costly scam of all involves the doctors over prescribing it in the first place. The idea of the methadone program is to help addicts get off of heroin. The purpose of the methadone program is not to create a million addicts to methadone. The biggest problem is the fact that it is VERY rare for anyone to be weened off methadone once they're on the program. This means doctors, pharmacists and drug companies and making a huge amount of money by scamming tax dollars.

Another scam is the fact that recovery homes like the John Volken Academy that actually teach addicts life skills, give them a job and help them get off drugs instead of turning them into methadone addicts can't get government sponsorship. This perpetuates the tax fraud.

The review found methadone costs covered by PharmaCare have climbed by an average of 7.6 per cent a year since 2001 to nearly $44 million, making it the program's second-highest drug cost." What about all the drugs seniors need but can't get coverage for? This pharmaceutical scam is bleeding our system dry. It's like you can't get an MRI but you can get free heroin at the Not very Safe Injection site. That is messed up.

Afghanistan heroin bust

This one's kind of baffling. There was a big song and dance patting everyone on the back for breaking up a heroin ring that was bringing heroin into Canada from Afghanistan. 37 kilos of heroin were seized. That is a fair amount and a job well done. Yet it's all so conflicted.

After all this was heroin coming in from Afghanistan. Insp. Cal Chrustie, a spokesman for the RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime unit (FSOC), told reporters “The feedback we’ve received recently is we haven’t seen a number of shipments coming into Canada of Afghan heroin recently.” That's the problem right there. Afghanistan supplies 92 per cent of the world’s opium.

In 2001 the Taliban had brought opium production to a grinding halt. After the allied invasion Afghanistan once again became the world's largest producers of opium. So if Afghanistan is the largest producers of opium in the world, why aren't we seeing many shipments coming into Canada? Are we not looking for them? Would that interfere with our allies who are guarding, protecting and promoting the opium trade in Afghanistan? Just like in Vietnam.



US Soldiers are protecting the opium crops. That is the biggest con of the Brave New World. They claim that if we don't do it the Taliban will. Yet that is a lie because the Taliban were the ones that brought opium production to a grinding halt. We are the ones that reversed that trend.

This drug ring was sure taking a round about route to get to Canada. It wasn't coming from China like all the huge shipments. The Vancouver Province reported that "Shipments originating in Afghanistan traveled primarily by air - either on people’s bodies or in their luggage - through Johannesburg and Dar es Salaam, then to Brussels and on to Canada. The shipments were then distributed to Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver." Not like the half ton shipments coming here from China. Sounds more like a sting operation then the disruption of a real network.

The Lost Cause

Fighting organized crime isn't a lost cause as in a waste of time. It's a lost cause as in something we don't do any more. On the web site I've itemized six different scenarios where as soon as a police task force found organized crime a government body shut down that police task force. The pattern is clear.

1) The RCMP issued a report showing how bad money laundering was in BC casinos. Instead of dealing with the problem, Rich Coleman and the BC Liberals did away with the RCMP's Integrated Illegal Gaming Enforcement Team.

2) Operation Phoenix was a Regional Task Force's investigation that targeted Hal Porteous and the BC Hells Angels. The RCMP scuttled that operation and prevented it from going to trial. Then disbanded the task force responsible for the investigation. Allen Dalstrom received a $2 million out of court settlement to keep his mouth shut.

3) 2 1/2 tons of cocaine bound for the BC Hells Angels were seized in the Western Wind bust. Richard Barszczewski from the RCMP scuttled that operation and prevented any Hells Angels from being charged.

4) Pat Fogarty issued a ridiculous head up his ass public rant about how the Hells Angels aren't a problem in Kelowna any more it's the other guys we have to worry about. Then the Gang Task Force and the OMGU proved him wrong in every possible way. So what do they do? They get rid of the OMGU and cut back the Gang Task Force putting another political puppet in charge saying everything is OK.

5) Wally Opal shut down the missing women inquiry as soon as the Hells Angels were mentioned and turned it into a panel discussion where he could more easily ban key evidence claiming the mandate of the inquiry was not to find other suspects even though Robert Pickton was convicted based on the fact that he was not the only or main suspect just an active participant.

6) The Port Police were disbanded in 1997 right when the Hells Angles took over the docks in Canada. Are we beginning to see a pattern yet?

A Letter from Joey Verma: The Omerta

Well this is a bizarre twist of fate. Either that or an act of God. I was sent a copy of a letter Joey Verma wrote Blaze from prison. I kid you not. I understand he also wrote Don Lyons. It's sad because murder is clearly a no win situation. No doubt Britney's family misses her very much. She's not there to wish her mother a Happy Mother's Day today. That's gotta hurt. Likewise Joey misses his family especially his daughter. Clearly a no win situation.

In the letter he claims that he is innocent and is doing someone else's life sentence. He makes reference to giving up his life and family at 29 years old for the Omerta.

The Urban Dictionary states: "Key to the concept of Omerta is that any member of the organization must maintain absolute silence when questioned by law enforcement on the subject of alleged illegal activities by other members of the organization. This can result in one member "taking the fall" for others, facing criminal contempt of court charges or even taking sole responsibility for a crime that others committed. He does this with the assurance that he and his family will be supported by the organization during and after his imprisonment."

Obviously he could just be talking sh*t trying to help his appeal. Yet there is a much bigger picture that is becoming much more clear to me over the last few months. I attended parts of the trial. I saw the pictures that showed the expression of pain on Britney's face when they found her dead body. I commented at the time I wasn't sure which was worse. The pain from being shot in the back with shot gun slugs or the pain of being betrayed by someone she genuinely cared about and trusted. I was also present during the lengthy cross examination of Britney's brother.

I have a huge amount of respect for Britney's brother. The lawyer grilled him for hours about his past trying to drag him through the mud. Yet he was firm and undaunted. He was totally honest about his past struggles with addiction. The murder of his sister made it worse. Yet he rose above all that and got clean to testify at his sisters murder trial. It was the epitome of courage.

He said he was cautious of Joey from the beginning and said to Britney are you sure you can trust this guy? She was firm and said oh yes we can trust him. He admitted that Britney was in a relationship with Joey. Something others had previously said but I didn't believe. Until I saw the text messages that were produced in court. "I'll be right there hun." Very sad. After her clone show was busted she had no income and was desperate to make a big deal of a large amount of high grade pot so they would have some money to live off of. The profit margin on the deal was very small. She had not ratted out her own clone show. That bust put her in a bad financial situation.

So she was putting together a large amount of high grade pot to get some money to pay some bills. Joey was involved with that deal. Britney's brother stated how he expressed his concern at the time about how the deal was going to go down. "You're going out in the bush to shoot guns while the buyers come to pick up the pot?" He thought that was very strange since during a drug deal you're trying to not attract attention. Others claimed anyone who knew Joey wouldn't have thought twice about it because Joey was a hunter.

Britney's brother said he was very concerned when his sister hadn't returned from the drug deal in the bush just off the road to Big White. He found one of her cell phones and found Joey's number. He called it and said Where's my sister?! Joey said she never showed up and her brother called him a f*cking liar. There was a huge amount of evidence that implicated Joey. He was involved in her murder. There was no error in interpretation of the law and no grounds for an appeal. The only question that remains is did he have an accomplice that was also directly involved? At this point I clearly believe he did which puts the whole false motive under question.

I do not believe Joey killed Britney to rip her off to repay a debt to the Kelowna Hells Angels. He was selling drugs for the Hells Angels while in prison. He was making them money. Killing Britney and taking the profit from her last deal would not have been enough to pay off any debt. It was barely enough for her to live off of. I believe the Kelowna Hells Angels were involved alright. I believe it was a hired hit for Britney's manufactured debt she was so desperate to repay.



This Mother's Day I want to pay special tribute to Britney Irving. A young woman from Kelowna who was robbed of her chance at becoming a mother in this life because she was shot in the back and murdered. I have reason to believe Blaze was directly involved in her murder along with Joey. Many reasons. Joey didn't rip her off. He was paying for her hotel after the clone show bust. He said he didn't have a choice and that he had to do it. That part I do believe. Peace.
