Fort McMurray drug bust

My McMurray dot com is reporting that "Seven search warrants were executed in Fort McMurray on June 3 to conclude a two-year investigation of a cocaine and fentanyl drug trafficking operation. Five homes, a Chateau Nova Hotel room and a local business on Signal Road were searched as police targeted 34-year-old Patrick Felix and 31-year-old Jason Mulley. The two are the alleged ringleaders of the network that reached Edmonton, Calgary and B.C."

Surrey shooting

The Vancouver Province is reporting that there was another shooting in Surrey just after 9:00 PM last night in a parking lot behind an Earl's restaurant at 72nd and Scott Road. CTV is reporting that it was a public shooting when the restaurant was open for business.

Police officer shot dead in Edmonton

Tragically the Edmonton Journal is reporting that one police officer was shot dead and another wounded in the line of duty last night while executing a search warrant in Edmonton.

A lot of people have mixed feelings about the police. No one likes getting harassed for stupid things and no one likes to see the police beating up suspects, violating civil rights or sexually harassing their own members. Yet the bottom line is there are a lot of good cops out their that literally put their lives on the line every day to protect the public peace and support law and order.

CBC is reporting that Norman Walter Raddatz, the man suspected of being responsible for the killing of Edmonton Const. Daniel Woodall, had an extensive hate crimes file related to online bullying of a family in the city. The shooting occurred when police served the suspect with an arrest warrant for criminal harassment. The Edmonton Journal is reporting that more then 50 bullets were fired during the exchange.

Daniel Woodall was a husband, a father and a son. Like it or not, he was our brother. Honor him.

A Beautiful Day

Today was what U2 would describe as a Beautiful Day. I couldn't resist the sunshine and took the kayak up Widgeon Creek at Pitt Lake and hiked up to the water falls. It was magnificent. A lot of people bring monster boats on Pitt Lake. Widgeon creek is for the quiet paddlers to enjoy in peace. If you hike up Golden Ears you get a magnificent view of the entire lake. It's a pretty long hike but unlike the Lions you can water up along the way.



I passed the clubhouse on Harris Road on the way to Pitt Lake. Didn't see any logos up. Just remember that my deal says you keep that clubhouse as well as Jabba's Palace. You keep all of them except Kelowna and get a fresh start. Think about it. Just get back to business and stop being so loud and proud. Ricky C's Gay Pride Parade at the Devil's Rejects clubhouse was stupid. It drew too much bad press and they lost it. Pride cometh before the fall. Nobody likes bullies. The strong don't bully the weak. The strong protect the weak. That is what the strong do. Peace.

Seizing Hells Angels clubhouses in British Columbia

The criminal organization status of the Hells Angels in BC is a hot topic because it relates to the government seizing their clubhouses. Right now the Nanaimo clubhouse has been seized and they have applied to the courts for the right to seize the East Vancouver and Kelowna clubhouse. If I was litigating that case, I'd be willing to cut a deal. Right now the HAs could lose all of them.

I think the criminal organization status of the Hells Angels in BC should be considered on a case by case basis. Each chapter separately. Kelowna was the chapter that really screwed up. That chapter was involved with a huge amount of criminal activity. Nanaimo was involved in some but not nearly to the extent Kelowna was. The deal I'd cut would be this:

Give them back the Naniamo clubhouse if the club let them have the Kelowna clubhouse in return. That's probably what the judge is going to conclude after a long and painful trial anyways. That would mean the Kelwona clubhouse is seized and sold but every other clubhouse stands until they screw up like Kelowna did. On the condition they agree not to build a new clubhouse in Surrey. Make those little Surrey girls use the clubhouse in Langley or Randy's freaking basement. Any new clubhouse would be up to he local city hall's discretion like how Langford shut down the Devil's Rejects clubhouse because of zoning concerns. This deal would mean Randy Jones would still get to keep Shakerz formally known as Tbarz. Only clean that place up man. It used to be high end.

The surveillance video when those Hells Angels associates were stabbed there showed just how far down that place has fallen. It's turned into another Dell for God's sake. Surrey can do better. Let's raise the bar and go back to the way it was when it first opened. That's my advice. That's the deal I'd cut if I was litigating it. That way we could all move on to other things. If they break their word and build a clubhouse in Surrey, Trevor would get extradited.

The Hells Angels just want to do business and make some cheddar. If they stop shooting people in public, shooting innocent bystanders like in the Surrey Six and stop killing drug addicts for small debts, I'll mind my own business and shut up. That way I can focus on helping TBM Canada instead. You don't have to torture and kill drug addicts for drug debts if you don't front them the drugs. It's that simple. Stop fronting crack addicts crack. That's bad business. That way we get rid of the Tony T's in the DTES and in Surrey. Time to give everyone a Fresh Start.

If both parties agree to these terms, it could become a consent order and the matter would be resolved until another chapter screws up.

Hot Pursuit

Stress levels have been a bit high of late so we went to see Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara in Hot Pursuit. It was pretty funny. My daughter is a fan of Sofia Vergara because she's from Colombia. My daughter went to Colombia a couple of times and loved it. She talked about learning to Salsa dance at 3:00 AM on the side streets with some friends. She talked about how they poured aguardiente all over the bar, set it on fire and drank it through straws. Good times.

One time they were in the back of a cab and a guy on a motorcycle pulled up beside them with a gun. Her friends grabbed her head and pulled it down out of view as the cab raced in and out of traffic and pulled over beside a cop causing the high jacker to move on. She thought it was fun. It was hard for me to get mad because I had many similar experiences when I was her age.

Recently she said that she loves her new car but she really misses Columbia. She said the people there are dirt poor but they are really happy. I know exactly what she means. When I came back from Ireland all I wanted to do is go back. I just couldn't relate to the yuppie materialism that exists here. It was a lot different back in Ireland. I told her that I came to the conclusion that I'd be able to give my kids a better life if I stayed here. More opportunities and what not. Yet growing up poor has been good for them. They have a strong work ethic and are focused on positive things despite their insane father's antics. They're all grown up now. Life goes on.

I have to do something. I just don't see myself going back to church and helping out with the boy scouts again. Not when I know about all the horrible things going on around me. That's why I think TBM is the cause to support right now. They have a strong network of safe houses that aren't run by the government or the police. They run it themselves. Just like the safe houses the IRA would run back in Ireland. The same type of network except for a more positive cause. All former bikers and gang members. Not the plastic pretty boys we have out here that live in the ivory tower. Hard core soldiers who used to go over to Europe into Germany and blow shit up. These are the guys helping people leave the gang life and protect them.

I started watching a TV series on Netflics called Lilyhammer. It's about a mafioso in the States that was screwed over and went into witness protection. He asked to be assigned to Norway after seeing their winter Olympics because he figured no one would be looking for him there. It's pretty funny. TBM's network in Scandinavia is worth looking into.

Hells Angels to be deemed a criminal organization in South Australia

ABC Australia is reporting that the government of south Australia has proposed legislation that will officially declare the Hells Angels a criminal organization just like Manitoba has. In fact, they are adding 26 other outlaw motorcycle gangs to the list. This is the perfect example of how the Hells Angels are destroying it for everyone else.

The question we have to ask is how do we confront organized crime while at the same time protect civil liberty. It's pretty simple really. The freedom of association is a sacred right. The right to sell drugs is not. It's that simple. In Canada, Manitoba is the only province so far to have the Hells Angels deemed a criminal organization by law makers. In Ontario and Quebec it was the courts themselves not the actual lawmakers that made that conclusion.

Canadian mob bosses arrested

The National Post is reporting that two Canadian cells of the Ndrangheta who are Calabrians have been arrested. On Tuesday, Giuseppe “Pino” Ursino, 62, was arrested at his home in Bradford, Ontario. Diego Serrano, 66, of Vaughan, was also arrested. The Calabrians of Hamilton were the prime suspects in the extermination of the Rizzutos when Vito was in prison.

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.
