The last three Hells Angels murders in BC were not rivals



The last three full patch Hells Angels who were murdered in BC - Chad Wilson, Suminder Grewal and Bob Green, were not murdered by rivals. In fact it doesn't appear that any of the last 11 Hells Angels murdered in BC were killed by rivals.

Bob Green was shot dead by a member of a puppet club that sold drugs for the Hells Angels called the 856. The kid had been charged along with Bob's cousin Lenny with drug trafficking. The kid was told to take the fall for Lenny like many others before him and the kid said no.

Lenny still hasn't been convicted in that drug trafficking case because gang enforcement in BC is compromised. In fact, since the shooter turned himself in and was cooperating with the police, the police lied and said the shooter's friend was involved with Bob Green's murder when he was not putting the shooter's friend's family at risk. The police wanted to protect their source. They didn't care about the family of an innocent victim. It was said that Bob was killed with his own gun.

The BC Gang Task Force said that the Hells Angels were responsible for the murder of two missing sailors on Vancouver Island over a dropped drug shipment. They said Chad was assigned to take care of it meaning the club assigned him with the debt and killed him for it.

The Vancovuer Sun claimed Suminder Grewal owed money meaning he was killed by the club.

Juel Stanton was killed by the club. So was Cedric Smith, Billy Moore, Blackie Burgess, Manny Valenti and Ernie Ozolins. Initially we were told that Michael (Zeke) Mickle was murdered after he tried to tax the Vietnamese grows and they said no. The Vancouver Sun claimed he owed money which would imply he was killed by the club. So not only do the Hells Angels attend the funerals of people they killed, they even have memorial rides for them.

The only unclear one is Donald Roming. At first we were told that the guy who shot him didn't know he was HA and when he found out he killed a HA he committed suicide. Now the Sun is reporting that the suspect in Roming's murder had been murdered. I don't believe Roming was killed by a rival either. So with friends like that, who needs enemies? Buyer Beware.

Miriam Rivera's suspicious suicide



People Magazine is reporting that "Miriam Rivera — the first openly trans reality star, has died. Rivera’s husband Daniel Cuervo confirmed the news in a Facebook tribute shared in February but her death only came to light this week. “My adorable wife rest in peace darling until God lets us be together again,” Cuervo wrote. Authorities have ruled Rivera’s death a suicide, but Cuervo is convinced there’s more to the story. He explained to Daily Mail Australia on Thursday that he believes Rivera’s death was “passed off” as a suicide after she refused to work as a prostitute."

"During the interview, Cuervo recalled the last time he spoke to Rivera on the morning of Feb. 5. “Miriam called me [in New York] from Mexico, telling me she was feeling sick and vomiting blood, so I told her to get to the hospital,” Cuervo to Daily Mail Australia. He explained to the outlet that Rivera called him one more time before leaving the hospital at around noon and that was last time he heard from her. Just two hours later, Miriam was found dead by hanging at her home in Hermosillo, Mexico, according to Daily Mail Australia. She was 38."

"Cuervo had hoped to fly Rivera’s body back to New York where he lives, but as he began to make funeral arrangements he was told that her body had already been cremated, he told the outlet. An autopsy was never performed. Her husband then said he allegedly received a threatening phone call from an unidentified man, who warned him not to plan a funeral for Rivera. “Don’t come back to Mexico or we’ll kill you,” the man said, according to Cuervo."

Her husband isn’t the only one who finds the circumstances surrounding Rivera’s death to be suspicious. Rivera’s friend Jeanett Ørtoft spoke out about her death telling Daily Mail Australia, “Some say she was killed for going against human trafficking, others say she took her own life.”

That is what I would define as a suspicious suicide.

Confronting police corruption was a crucial element of the New York Model



I totally support law enforcement. It's just that I hate dirty cops worse than I hate bikers who sell crack. I regularly refer to the New York crime reduction model because it was successful and I saw it in action. The transformation of 42nd Street Time Square formally known as the Deuce is literally astounding. Enforcement and gentrification was the magic wand but it was all made possible by the Mollen Commission which was created after the arrest of Michael Dowd.

To put the Michael Dowd story into perspective, everyone needs to watch the documentary called the Seven Five about police corruption in Brooklyn prior to the implementation of the New York Model. I was in New York at the peak of the crack epidemic 1985. I saw what it was like.

The Seven Five is a tell all documentary were Michael Dowd explains all about his corruption as a New York City cop after his release from prison. It is astounding. While we were risking our lives confronting the crack dealers up in Harlem and down on the Deuce, that POS Michael Dowd was helping supply them with the cocaine. They had a supermarket in Brooklyn where people would go into the back and buy cocaine by the kilo. Michael Dowd would warn them whenever the drug squad was going to search them. He even gave them police escorts to transfer money.

My point is that police corruption made the crack epidemic in New York possible just like it is here in BC and confronting that police corruption made the New York crime reduction model possible. In BC the police corruption is from the top down like Seattle not the bottom up like New York. So while I'm here I'd like to say a big F*ck you to Michael Dowd and give a solders salute to Chuck Pillon. Chuck was a hero and Down was a villain. What we do in life echoes in eternity.



When I was in New York the second time, the Deuce was just like the picture on the left. It was filled with crack dealers and porn theaters. It was a sh*t hole filled with violence. I remember having a run in with a cop once during my first trip to New York. It was on the subway in Brooklyn. We were on our way home from visiting Curtis' mother who lived in Brooklyn at the time.

I'm standing on the subway and this young cop comes up to me and gets in my grill. He shakes his head and says what are you doing here?! I respond with I'm visiting from Canada volunteering my services to help make the subway safe. He just shakes his head and exclaims these people don't care. I respond with, we care. One of the purposes of the Guardian Angels is to be a role model for society. If enough people start to care we then can make a difference. He just shakes his head and walks off in disgust. At the time I thought that was a pretty bad attitude for a cop. It made me wonder why he chose law enforcement for a career.

Now after watching that documentary the Seven Five I can't help but think that cop looked and sounded exactly like Michael Dowd. Wouldn't that have been ironic? Here's a guy who had given up. He had lost hope. As a result, he was part of the problem.

That's one thing Curtis taught us. He said no matter where you go, there are always more good people out there than bad. Sebastian and Tut would say the same thing. I found that to be true. No matter where I went - Harlem, Brixton, Belfast or the Deuce, there were always more good people than bad. Curtis would say the problem is the good people are either paralyzed with fear or have become apathetic. They think the problem is too big to solve and no one can make a difference. Curtis said what you have to do is shock the people and give them hope.

That was Curtis' specialty. I saw him do things others said couldn't be done on a daily basis.

The New York model was successful because of Enforcement. The Portugal model was successful because of Treatment. Two crucial pillars that Vancouver has abandoned. New York and Portugal are good models to follow. Vancouver is not. Vancouver's drug policy has been a complete failure resulting is record levels of addiction and record levels of drug overdoses. Lethal injection sites are clearly not the answer. Treatment and Enforcement is. It's that simple.

Police seize 5 kilos of fentanyl in Ontario



CBC is reporting that York police seized 5 kilos of fentanyl in Vaughan, outside of Toronto in what they referred to as Project Zen. Project Moon targeted southern Ontario and seized 23 kilos of crystal meth. This is what the police are supposed to do.

In Ontario the police target organized crime. In BC they do not. All they do in BC is promote addiction and crime. That is not law enforcement. That is something else.

Harm Promotion is not the answer



Post Media Trash is reporting that Kennedy Stewart, the mayor of Vancouver, says he is screaming to Ottawa and Victoria for more funding to help promote drug overdose fatalities. He wants to spend the money on more lethal injection sites and helping addicts have greater access to drugs. This is the root of the problem and is the direct opposite of the Portugal model.

Portugal successfully addressed it's drug addiction problem by implementing mandatory treatment. Decriminalization is not the answer because right now drug users here are not charged for using drugs. Decriminalization here would simply makes it impossible to arrest the predatory drug dealers who are brutalizing the addicts as we speak.

Vancouver has the highest drug overdose problem per capital in Canada because of it's failed drug policy. Vancouver is a bad example. The failure in Vancouver's drug policy is the direct result of the city's abandonment of the Four Pillars program. They threw away the three crucial pillars of Treatment, Prevention and Enforcement and in so doing turned Harm Reduction into Harm Promotion. Everyone knows that smoking cigarettes is bad for you. Helping people stay addicted to cigarettes does not improve public health.

Kennedy Stewart might as well take that money and give it straight to the Hells Angels. In so doing he would save lives and save a lot of human misery. Helping people get off drugs improves public health. Helping them stay on drugs does not. Give your head a shake.

2 Hells Angels and 13 associates charged with human trafficking and drug trafficking in Ontario



The Toronto Star is reporting that "The Hells Angels motorcycle gang used bikers in affiliated clubs to run a drug- and human-trafficking ring across the province, the OPP said Wednesday. 'They deal in multiple commodities,' OPP Supt. Bryan MacKillop, director of the force’s organized crime bureau, said at a news conference announcing the arrests of 15 people earlier this month in Niagara Falls, Sudbury and Ottawa." Organized crime bureau? Why doesn't BC have one?

"The arrests, part of a multi-jurisdictional police operation dubbed Project Skylark, resulted in 195 charges, including for the alleged trafficking of humans, fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine. The operation targeted the Hells Angels and the affiliate groups the Red Devils and the Hooligans, uncovering an alleged trafficking network working in a triangle between the Niagara Region, Ottawa and Sudbury, police said."

Human trafficking? You mean what Arnie Miller is doing for the Kelowna Hells Angels at the Garden of Eden? Why doesn't BC arrest Hells Angels associates for human trafficking when Ontario does? Because the BC Gang task Force is COMPROMISED for f*ck's sake.

“Everyone should be absolutely furious that this is happening in Canada in 2019,” he said of the human-trafficking charges. Oh really? Then why the f*ck doesn't the Compromised BC Gang task force care about the human trafficking out of the Garden of Eden? Arnie is pulling drug addicts off the street giving them drugs and over taxing them for the red, white (and blue).

"Among those charged with a variety of drug trafficking offences are six people police describe as members of motorcycle gangs. They are: Joseph Piccinetti, 41, of Sudbury, and Joshua Khosrowkhani, 31, of Ottawa, whom police described as full members of the Hells Angels Nomads chapter; Keith Earle, 31, of Niagara Falls, Brandon Tupling, 33, of Orleans, and Jovin Degre-Blais, 34, of Ottawa, all of whom ware described as full members of the Red Devils Motorcycle Club; and David Nan, 21, of Sudbury, who was described as a prospect member of the Hooligans Motorcycle Club."

So if the Hells Angels are responsible for fentanyl trafficking in Ontario, then they are also responsible for fentanyl trafficking in Vancouver. Instead of arresting them, Kennedy Stewart wants to put more money in their pocket through harm promotion. That is evil.

Two Quebec police officers charged with sexual assault



Speaking of police misconduct, CBC is reporting that "The Bureau des Enquêtes Indépendantes, or BEI, quietly charged two officers in recent months, both with sexual assault. On May 14, a decorated veteran police constable with the Kativik Regional Police Force, Timothy Sangoya, was accused of sexual assault by summons. The assaults allegedly occurred between 2003 and 2008 in Tasiujaq, a village in eastern Nunavik where Sangoya works, as well as elsewhere in the province. In July, an arrest warrant was issued for a second officer, Roger Barnaby, a constable with the Listuguj Police Department, which is on the south shore of the Gaspé. The warrant followed a BEI investigation into an incident in February 2017 on the Listuguj First Nation."

"According to numbers recently added to its website, the BEI is still investigating more than 30 allegations of sexual assault by police, out of a total of 77 complaints files since its creation in 2016." With the numbers we've seen, if it's happening there it's happening elsewhere as well. Everyone needs to be accountable including the police.

Police Misconduct Study



Recently I was speaking with a former prison guard who referred to a US study where women were more likely to be sexually assaulted dating a cop then a civilian. He said everyone in the industry here in Canada knows about it but they don't talk about it because the public is supposed to have confidence in law enforcement. Although I haven't found the study yet I have found many similar studies that raise a valid concern about blind faith in anyone. Everyone needs to be accountable. Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Although most of the links are to studies in the US, we know the problem is here in Canada as well. Both class action sexual harassment laws suits as well as the RCMP bullying class action law suit is the tip of the iceberg. Dianne Rock was gang raped on the Pickton Farm. Gang raped means more than one perp. She was gang raped by bikers and cops. This will not go away. Everyone needs to be accountable. Including the police.

Hobbs and Shaw is AWESOME. Everybody likes Dwayne Johnson. Jason Statham is a rock star from the Expendables. Vanessa Kirby was stellar. Give it up for Brixton yo played by the legendary Idris Elba. A super villain that commands respect.

Kevin Hart enriches it but Samoa brings it to life. Give it up for Samoa. Now that's what I'm talking about. The movie is action packed, heartfelt and positive. In a word, Awesome.

Sailors murder tied to the Hells Angels and Chad Wilson



The Compromised BC Gang Task Force told Dr. Kim that Dan Archbald and Ryan Daley were likely murdered by the Hells Angels. The PoPo told Dr Kim that Chad Wilson was tasked with taking care of the problem in Ucluelet. So that even leaves the door open that the Hells Angels could have been the ones that killed Chad. Some people did claim that hit was internal.

That even leaves the possibility of Suminder Grewal's murder being internal. God knows the rest of the racists in the club were pissed off a brown guy got a patch. Then again it could just be Blaze lying again and blaming another HA murder on someone who is already dead so the real murderer can get off. That's what the cub pack in the Witness Protection Program do.

The timing of this article is very suspicious. The same day Suminder Grewal was fatally shot. Is the Compromised BC Gang Task Force working for the red and white now? Sure looks like it.

Hells Angel shot dead in South Surrey - 2nd Update



Global is reporting that "The man shot dead in a South Surrey drive-thru on Friday morning has been identified as a member of a prominent outlaw motorcycle gang. Multiple sources, including a witness at the scene, have confirmed to Global News that the victim was Suminder (Ali) Grewal, a member of the Hells Angels."

When I head that there was a fatal shooting in South Surrey today the first thing that came to mind was that it had to involve the red and white. They were targeted or they shot someone. Turns out they were targeted. Aside from Nanaimo, the only brown member locally is from the Softside chapter. Dr. Kim is confirming that's the guy. The one in the picture with Chad who was also shot dead and dumped on Spike's doorstop. That just leaves the duck dynasty decoy left in that picture. I would have thought they'd shoot Jamie before Suminder. Bad luck.

What's disturbing is the fact that the compromised BC Gang Task force no longer arrest Hells Angels who sell drugs. They just like to have photo ops at Hells Angels events where drugs aren't sold. What's disturbing is the fact that the compromised Surrey RCMP let the Hells Angels traffic drugs out of Shakerz. What's disturbing is the fact that members of the Wolf Pack are in witness protection and get police escorts to sell drugs. That's what I find disturbing.

I told you, the Softside are not welcome in Surrey. The Brother's Keepers are on the wrong side. Just ask Glen Nelson's wife. That's how the red and white showed their love for the Redd Alert.



The sad saga continues. Treachery on the streets. Mind how you go.

Update: Global is reporting that "Two men are facing murder charges for the shooting death of a prominent Hells Angels member in South Surrey Friday. Court documents name the two men as Nathan James De Jong and Calvin Junior Powery-Hooker, both believed to be 21 years old."

In 2017 someone by the name of Calvin Junior Powery-Hooker was charged with assault in Edmonton after a drug deal went bad. Edmonton is red and white. Police in Surrey are lying and claim they are preparing for retaliation even though they know this hit was internal.

Spotlight on the Garden of Eden: The Hells Angels drug infested brothel in Kelowna

I wonder if the other PoPo ho Damion Ryan is going to show up in disguise at the funeral again.



2nd Update: Big surprise, Suminder Grewal had debts. Who do you think those debts were to? The club ripped him off and cast him aside like they always do. His murder was internal. The Brother's Keepers wouldn't do it so they had to farm it out to some low life red and white trash from Edmonton. This is how they treat their own. Brother's Keepers beware.

This is why the BC Gang Task Force is on the wrong side. Helping the Hells Angels obtain and maintain a monopoly on the local drug trade does not reduce violence. Greed has no limits.

Burnaby RCMP patrol car show with assault rifles



Vancouver is Awesome is reporting that "The presence of heavily armed Burnaby RCMP officers sparked criticism from people at a community event in Burnaby this month – and not for the first time. When Dawn and Rob Danzel brought their three-year-old daughter to the Edmonds City Fair & Classic Car Show on July 21, they were shocked to see RCMP officers with semi-automatic rifles patrolling the area."

This is why Surrey needs to form a municipal police force. The RCMP do not listen to the people who pay their wages. Fire them. Clearly Burnaby needs to form a municipal police force next.

The controversial Hong Kong memorial wall at SFU is NOT controversial



Post Media Propaganda is reporting that "At Simon Fraser University, a controversy over three “Lennon Walls” — fixtures where people can post notes of support or inspirational wishes — shows how tensions related to increasingly violent protests in Hong Kong may get harder to manage on Canadian campuses."

“'There are currently two walls,' said Joel Wan, founder of Vancouver Hong Kong Political Activists, a weeks-old, student organization whose Facebook page has posts about the situation at SFU. The original Lennon Wall, located outside the main Bennett Library, was 'repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, with post-it notes taken down. It’s gone for now,' said Wan."

On Wednesday, some students set up a temporary, second Lennon Wall with post-it notes at a booth. Plans for a third, more permanent Lennon Wall to be established Wednesday were scrapped after assessing security concerns." That is absurd.

There is nothing controversial about setting up a memorial wall for the struggle in Hong Kong. Tearing that down is equivalent to desecrating Jewish graves or a Holocaust memorial. It is no different then tearing down a Tiananmen square massacre memorial.

The problem is the Confucius Institute which has absolutely nothing to do with promoting the teachings of Confucius. In fact it does the exact opposite. The cultural revolution in China was not a cultural revolution it was a cultural genocide. UBC can see what the Confucius Institute really is. A front for the Communist Party of China. The Communist Party of China promotes Mandarin only. They are crushing Cantonese and democracy in Hong Kong and around the world.

Communism is an abomination. Post Media News is a farce. That is the state of our union.

Richmond Shooting



CTV is reporting that "A man in his 30s is in hospital following a shooting in Richmond that may be linked to a vehicle found burning in Vancouver an hour later. In a statement the next day, Mounties said they were called to the CF Richmond Centre at around 10:20 p.m. Monday."

"When officers arrived, they found a 35-year-old man with apparent gunshot wounds. He was transferred to hospital for injuries that the Richmond RCMP described as serious but not life-threatening. The victim has not been publicly identified, but police said he is known to them and that the incident is believed to be targeted."

Van carrying 270kg of crystal meth crashes into parked police cars in Sydney, Australia



The Guardian is reporting that "New South Wales police have hailed one of the “easiest” drug busts in history after a driver allegedly crashed a van carrying $200m worth of the drug ice into parked cop cars outside a station in Sydney’s north-west. The 26-year-old man, from Berala, was facing three charges including drug trafficking and negligent driving, NSW police said. The crash happened on Monday at 10.30am outside Eastwood police station and officers said the Toyota HiAce did not stop. Officers heard a loud bang and checked video surveillance.

One of the police vehicles – a Holden Commodore – was written off while the other was slightly damaged. Police caught up with the man in the nearby suburb of Ryde, searched the van and seized 273kg of methylamphetamine, known as ice, which has an estimated potential street value of more than $200m." Sounds like the driver was using some of the product.

Colin Lamontagne sentenced to 9 years



The Naniamo News is reporting that "Nearly beating a man to death and having close to $1 million in hard drugs earned a prolific Nanaimo criminal nine years behind bars. Colin Lamontagne was sentenced at the Supreme Court of BC in Nanaimo on Friday, July 19 for the November 2016 incident. He previously pleaded guilty to tying up and beating a drug addict over unpaid debt. A taser was used on the man in a Ninth St. home."

We remember Colin. He certainly isn't notorious so I wish the media would stop over using that term. He was with the Veterans MC but they kicked him out after his first drug charge. He has had several charges since then.

As to the most recent drug charge Colin was found with a significant amount of drugs packaged for sale, including heroin containing fentanyl and carfentanil as well as two 20 litre buckets of the date-rape drug GHB. That spells sh*tbag all on it's own but there's more. "Lamontagne was convicted in 2018 to four years in prison for the 2015 manslaughter of a friend in Victoria. When his friend suffered a severe drug-induced reaction, Lamontagne wrapped him up, beat him and tried to subdue him with a headlock, rather than call for medical help."

The guy needs to spend some time with Dr Phil so he does.

Two Israeli criminals executed in Mexico



Israel 24 News is reporting that "Two Israelis shot dead in Mexico City were involved in money laundering and had links to local mafias, Mexico's government said on Friday." BBC is reporting that "Israel's embassy in Mexico said the men had criminal records in both Israel and Mexico, while Israeli local media has claimed Sutchi was well-known within Israel's criminal underworld."

You guessed it. News Now Vegas and the Borderland Beat are both referring to Sutchi as an ex Mossad agent. No big surprise there. Mossad, the CIA and drug trafficking. They all go together.

Gabe Khouth dies in Port Moody fatal motorcycle accident



Vancouver is Awesome is reporting that "Once Upon a Time actor Gabe Khouth has been identified as the victim of a fatal motorcycle crash in Port Moody Tuesday afternoon. In a video message, Khouth’s brother Sam Vincent confirmed the death and encouraged fans of the 46-year-old actor to leave flowers and messages at the southwest corner of Queens and St. Johns streets." The Tri city News is reporting that "The Port Moody memorial pays tribute to Khouth’s love for motorcycles. Several media reports said Khouth suffered a heart attack while riding his motorcycle. However, the Port Moody Police Department told The Tri-City News that they could not confirm the cause of death until the coroner service had completed its investigation."

Protests as candidates banned from Russian election



The New York Times is reporting that " Lines of riot police officers in body armor and helmets blocked the streets of central Moscow on Saturday, arresting more than 1,000 demonstrators - chasing some of them down alleys - to blunt a protest over the fairness of coming city elections."

“We love Russia! They love money!” protesters chanted, a reference to widespread anger over government corruption. Others sat in the streets, awaiting arrest and reading copies of the Constitution. The spark for Saturday’s protest was a decision by election authorities to bar several opposition candidates from running for Moscow’s City Council, asserting that they had falsified signatures on petitions to run — a charge the candidates denied."

"An independent monitoring group said 1,067 people were arrested near City Hall, the intended site of the rally, although many never made it there. As in past protests, the authorities began making arrests blocks away so a large crowd could not form."

"Aleksei A. Navalny, the opposition leader who had called the demonstration, was arrested on Wednesday and sentenced to 30 days in jail. Other prominent opposition politicians — including Ilya V. Yashin, Dmitry G. Gudkov and Ivan Y. Zhdanov — were also rounded up before the event and released only late in the evening."

"A post on the Facebook page of Mr. Yashin, a street activist and one of the politicians who was barred from running, said 10 masked police officers had removed him from his apartment in Moscow overnight before the Saturday demonstration." This has happened before.

Although Russia is no longer Communist, it doesn't have a very good reputation for fair elections. In 2015, Boris Nemtsov, the opposition leader to Putin was shot dead.

This brings us back to the movie the November Man with Pierce Brosnan which was a fictional movie based on real life events. The CIA used false flag attacks in Chechnya to help Putin get elected. Trump wasn't guilty of Russian collusion, Hillary Clinton was. She sold them weapons grade uranium for missiles through a Canadian shell company.

Last week the Independent reported that "Thousands of people took to the streets in Moscow over the weekend in what opposition politicians and local media are calling the ‘largest demonstration in recent years’ in Russia. Independent NGO White Counter says some 22,500 people rallied yesterday to protest against the exclusion of dozens of independent candidates from the city council elections. “I haven’t been to such a huge rally since 2012,” tweeted Alexei Navalny, the leader of the opposition, after he attended the protest."



Russian opposition leader ill after exposure to 'undefined chemical'

Update: The Guardian is reporting that "Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has been hospitalised, with symptoms that one of his doctors said appeared to be “the result of harmful effects of undefined chemical substances”. Navalny was taken to hospital on Sunday morning from jail, where he was serving a 30-day sentence after being arrested last week for calling people to attend an anti-government protest."
