The Hard Way Out: New book about Hells Angel betrayal

There is a new book about the Hells Angels worth mentioning. It's by former Ontario Hells Angel Dave Atwell and is called The Hard Way Out: My Life with the Hells Angels and Why I Turned Against Them. It is co-written with Jerry Langton. Jerry Langton is rock solid. He spent time in New York as deputy editor for The Daily News. He has put out many credible books including Fallen Angel: The Unlikely rise of Walter Stadnick.

Jerry Langton put out one about the Bacon brothers that was informative and well written. My main concern with that one was the title. The Bacon brothers were anything but notorious. Here in Surrey they are hated for their involvement in the Surrey Six and their ass kissing of the red and white. I'm glad Jerry Langton has put out another book that I can fully endorse.

As I said during my endorsement of the book about Mob Boss Ralph Natale in The Last Don Standing, I dont normally endorse informants. Ralph Natale's case was different as was Dave Atwells. They were both screwed over by people in the game that had lost any dignity or self respect and screwed them over.

Dave Atwell sold drugs for the club in Ontario and got busted. Unlike that Justin Bieber in Cali who infiltrated Vagos, he didn't cut a deal to avoid jail time to become a rat nor was he a crystal meth dealer. He sold weed and 100 Percocets to a woman who worked at the clubhouse and turned out to be a police informant. He was arrested in a sweep with other members and spent 20 months on bail before the charges were dropped. It certainly wasn't a big bust. He wanted out but couldn’t leave because he owed the Hells Angels a huge legal bill, plus house fees.

He started selling cocaine in large quantities for the club and started working for the Ontario Biker Enforcement Unit. Similar to the OMGU here in BC that Christy Clark did away with after their huge success in Kelowna with the David Giles conviction. Atwell said he made $1,700 per kilo of cocaine he sold for the club. It was big business that had nothing to do with riding motorcycles.

Sylvester Stallone is the Real Rocky Balboa

I just wanted to throw out a timely tribute to Sylvester Stallone. He is a legend dripping with class. History has recorded that. His first Rocky Movie was a masterpiece as was each successive one in the series. In addition to that he has put out many classics including Rambo and the Expendables. Sylvester Stallone is someone us zoomers can relate to because he walks the walk. He is the defining role in motivation and has always retained class and dignity in everything he produced.

There is a new movie out about the Chuck Wepner story. He's the guy that went 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali and was the inspiration for the first Rocky movie. To say that Chuck Wepner is the real Rocky Balboa is completely false because Sylvester Stallone developed that character into what it was for generations past the first fight in the first movie. I don't want to disrespect Chuck Wepner because he did in fact go 15 rounds with Muhammad Ali.That was an impressive historical act he should be commended for. Chuck was the creator of the rabbit punch that Ali kept complaining about. I remember watching the fight when I was a kid. That fight may indeed have inspired the original Rocky but the character Rocky Balboa has entertained and inspired us for generations. It was a fictional character Sylvester Stallone created and developed.

Speaking of class, let's fast forward to Rocky Balboa where Rocky defends little Marie years after trying to steer her away from the sleazebags she was hanging around with when she was a young girl. He befriends her and her son and she ends up helping him in the process.

The movie Creed was a masterpiece. My daughter was never really into the Rocky movies but when Creed came out she said a hot young black guy, I'll go to see that. She got a bit teary eyed during the movie because it hit a little too close to home. Rocky gets cancer in his old age and decides he's not going to bother fighting it. He figures he's lived a good life and it's time for the next generation to take up the torch. Then he meets Apollo's son played by Michael B. Jordan and discovers a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Apollo's son asks Rocky about his son and asks him if he ever taught his son to box. Naw, he said. His son wasn't really into the boxing scene. He's a really good kid and moved away to a place called Vancouver to get out of his old man's shadow. Rocky's speech to his son in the Rocky Balboa movie was epic. That movie was inspired by George Foreman who went back into the ring after his retirement when he was older. George Foreman was another real life hero.

Sylvester Stallone has put out a tremendous amount of movies and they all have class. They're not trashy and they all have an inspiring moral to them. That is his legacy so it is. He has inspired us to do good and be better. Stallone won a Golden Globe for his performance in the movie Creed and well he should but the real award comes from the multitude of lives he has touched and inspired. Looking forward to the next generation, this world needs to hear a little more from rock solid actors like Michael B. Jordan and a little less from flaming idiots like Justin Beiber.

Harm Promotion isn't working

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that Despite all efforts to provide support and assistance to intravenous drug users, people are dying of overdoses at twice the tragic rate of last year in Vancouver. Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall stated “What we had been doing didn’t seem to be working.” No kidding?! Harm promotion isn't working.

Well, actually it is. Our twisted interpretation of harm reduction has indeed become harm promotion. Our harm promotion has become very effective at promoting addiction and promoting the drug trade which continues to result in more addicts and more fatalities.

This is what happens when you abandon the other three pillars: Prevention, Treatment and Enforcement. When you stop enforcing the law and start promoting illicit drug use you end up pouring gasoline on the forest fire of addiction and it burns out of control.

The Launch of the Surrey Now-Leader

There are several news stories for me to catch up on over the weekend but I just wanted to throw this one out there to set the record straight. It turns out that my goddaughter was right - the Surrey Now and the Surrey Leader have merged into a new single newspaper. The new paper is called the Surrey Now-Leader.

Under the headline Welcome to Surrey's new voice it states: "Welcome to the first edition of the Surrey Now-Leader. With this first issue, Black Press has begun the transformation of the community newspaper model in Surrey by uniting two iconic tittles - the Now and the Leader - under one new umbrella. The goal is for us to be the best digital and print newspaper in Canada."

It sounds good but they don't have their new website up and running yet. I'm sure that's on its way. As I said before, it doesn't sound like a merger. It doesn't even sound like a hostile takeover. It sounds more like a corporate monopoly eliminating all the competition. The new office for the new paper is in the old Surrey Now building. The Surrey Leader building and staff have been eliminated with one sweep of the pen. It looks like the corporate monopoly completely got rid of the Surrey Leader and put their name on the Surrey Now. The Surrey Leader was indeed iconic.



As I said before, the death of the Surrey Leader has created an opportunity. If the staff from the Surrey Leader who were fired want to start their own company and create an online digital paper, I'd be all for it. I support local news. Imagine a local newspaper free to tell the truth without having to worry about pleasing big brother. Now that's an opportunity worth looking into. Peace.

Postmedia News is looking for more ways to cut costs

Update: Ah ha, the truth comes out. The Vancouver Province is reporting that Postmedia news is looking for more ways to cut costs. So the fake merger of the Surrey Leader and the Surrey Now had absolutely nothing to do with improving their digital presence. They dont even have their new website up yet. It was simply the same old unimaginative corporate hack of cut cut cut. This is the exact same beef I had with Moya Green many years ago. When you are in a service based industry and you cut all your services, you also reduce business revenue. It's that simple.

Look at how mismanagement is killing the industry. First Postmedia announced it was cutting staff by 20% after it aready fired 3 newspaper publishers to cut costs. They got rid of the chief editor of the Vancouver Province who was completely competent by throwing him back in the field and put the chief editor of the Vancouver Sun in charge of both papers. Now we have reporters from one paper writing for both papers. That in itself is not a bad thing but it has taken us somewhere we perhaps didn't want to go.

Now all the local papers sound the same. The Vancouver Metro, 24 hrs, Sun, Province, they're all the same. All the News is one homogeneous clone show. In their obsession to cut costs they have killed their market. There is nothing unique about the different papers anymore so you might as well merge them all into one since you made them all sound the same.

Part of the problem is listing companies on the stock market. That used to be just to help raise start up capital. Now it has become the norm and that's not a good thing. You can have a profitable company making money but be forced to make cuts because the stock drops in value. We have seen this happen time and time again. .

Who's going to invest in a newspaper stock nowadays? There isn't the huge potential for growth that other stocks might have. The only people that are going to invest in a newspaper are the people wanting to control it's content like Conrad Black did. So a drop in the value of the stock creates a manufactured emergency in the industry.

The only answer the unimaginative one trick pony corporate hacks can come up with is cut jobs, save money. Sometimes that's needed but at other times it's shooting yourself in the foot and kills your business revenue which makes the situation worse. If you own a restaurant and you cut all the items from your menu, not as many people are going to want to come to your restaurant and you are going to see a drop in sales.

Fortunately, there is hope on the horizon. The solution is found within free enterprise. After the corporate hacks kill the industry, independent entrepreneurs can seize the opportunity to form new companies that fill the void and find new markets by providing a digital service people are interested in. That is where the money is and that is where we can save free speech - on the Internet. My traffic is over the roof. 19 million hits and climbing. Over 50% of my readers are reading my blog on their phone. That's why my website is so simple. I dont have time to create a separate version for people's phone. All the disco sh*t doesn't work on people's phones. The blog automatically creates a separate version for cell phones. If you read my blog from a cell phone you can't see the sidebar. You can only see that if you read my blog from a computer. Saving the freedom of the press is within reach. It's found within the free market not corporate mergers.

You can get your Future dies here shirts and bumper stickers from Surrey Shirts.

President of Surrey Creep Catchers arrested for assault - 2nd Update

Speaking of scams, since this local fraud is in the news again I will comment on it. CBC is reporting that Surrey RCMP have confirmed the president of a controversial vigilante group in the city was arrested for allegedly assaulting a target during a "sting" on Monday evening. Ryan is nothing but a Surrey drug dealer. He was convicted of possession for the purpose of trafficking in Surrey 2009. Three years before the brutal drug related murder of Janice Shore. As I said from day one, his "crew" look like a bunch of Surrey drug dealers and his criminal record confirms it.

If Ryan was selling drugs in Surrey in 2009, we all know who he was selling for. W 5 exposed Ryan for what he is. A drug dealer committing fraud to scam money from the public.

Ryan now has a second defamation lawsuit going. The second one is someone he targeted for simply disagreeing with him. The guy disagreed with the Surrey chapter's tactics so Ryan posted his picture and said this is what a pedophile looks like. That is dishonest and illegal. Many others have complained about being targeted for simply disagreeing with them. Like I said from the beginning, it is exactly how the drug dealers on the Whalley strip operate. You help us give someone the boots or else we will give you the boots. Now they are running around pretending to be heroes so they can collect money from the public when in reality they are just as bad as the pedphiles they claim to target.

People in Surrey know how the drug dealers on the whalley strip operate. On that strip, the drug dealers are the pimps. They give the sex trade workers drugs then take all their money when they get a trick. Janice Shore was beaten to death and dumped beside the very tree that the Surrey drug dealers demand free service from their sex trade workers as a warning to the rest of the sex trade workers to pay up or end up like Janice. Janice was sexually assaulted and had her head caved in from blunt force trauma all for a nominal drug debt. Like I said Ryan and the Surrey Creep Catchers are no better than the pedophiles they are pretending to save the world from.

So let's look at the latest scam. They "catch" a guy who agreed to have sex with a Surrey girl. How young? Old enough to have a 6 year old daughter so she wasn't a minor. So Ryan gets one of his "girls" to proposition a guy for sex online and he says yes and goes out to meet her. Then Ryan and the Surrey girl say hey you just agreed to have sex with a mother and her six year old daughter. The guy is like WTF no I didn't. I agreed to have sex with the mother not her daughter. The mother said she was a service provider. Yes you did. It's our word against yours.

Oh really. I'm sorry but their claim fails the test of believability. What is believable is that Ryan is so desperate for money to help cover court costs for lying about people he made up a desperate scam to raise more money. He steps it up and starts pushing the guy and making death threats so he gets arrested then plays the victim trying to raise more money for his scam.

One of the comments left on another thread claims "Ryan took my money when i was a prostitute and used me. I haven't been a prostitute for 7 years now. He threatened me for leaving when i was too sick to work anymore. I ran away. His brother punched me in the head and split my head open." That is believable. If you have money to burn, give it to someone else.

Ryan is just another Jimmy leading a parade of misfits selling snake oil to the public. I dont buy it. Many will. There will always be plenty of suckers that fall for any con. That's why they are so profitable. I'll just sit this one out and let that parade pass me right by. Peace.

Examining the Evidence

Update: In the video they posted as "evidence" the Surrey girl asked him how he felt and he said he was hesitant. He said this isn't my regular gig. This is your idea. That's all I'm going to say about that. He was continuously expressing concerns and the Surrey girl was continuously trying to encourage him. I will agree the whole thing is creepy as f*ck but the point is the guy wanted to have sex with the mother and she was the one that insisted it was a threesome. He didn't want to but she kept pushing it so that if he wanted to have sex with the Surrey girl it had to be a threesome. They didn't save the world from a pedophole, they created one.

The problem is catching predators who are preying on minors. As soon as Ryan said they caught someone trying to have sex with a 6 year old I knew he was full of sh*t. It's is very possible someone would try and prey on a 14 year old and coax them to leave their home and meet for a hook up. That is believable. Someone trying to lure a 6 year old kid online is not believable.

In Edmonton the Creep Caches targeted a mentally challenged young man/woman, went to their place of residence and confronted them claiming they just agreed to have shower sex with a minor. Three points arise. First they went to her residence. They preyed on him/her. (The target had gone through a sex change) Second they said she agreed to have shower sex with a minor. She wasn't the one that suggested it. After being coaxed she agreed to it. The third point is that their mark was obviously mentally challenged and was not capable of instigating a plot to prey on anyone. They took advantage of someone who was mentally challenged to try and make themselves look like heros. As a result the target committed suicide. That whole scenario was disgusting and shameful. There was nothing noble in it.

In the Ryan and the Surrey Girl case the whole hype and drama obsession is toxic. They insist on live streaming their takedowns. The Surrey Girl starts off by saying OK everyone share share share. We want to get lots of views on this. This guy is going to get f*cked up. She admits her need to be a drama queen and she admits that their assault was premeditated. Feeding off the drama like that is unhealthy. Good luck with that.

Entrapment

Then there's the entrapment argument. If an undercover cop walks down the Surrey strip outside the Front Room and a drug dealer gets in his face and says crack!? Crack?! Wanna buy come crack?! If the undercover cop says yes and buys some crack, or fentanyl or crystal meth from the dug dealer then that is fair game for an arrest. If however, the undercover cop goes somewhere else and finds someone who isn't normally selling drugs and says to them you can have sex with this trailer trash Surrey girl if you sell these drugs and the guy says OK, then that's entrapment. He wasn't normally selling drugs and only did so because the cop enticed him to do so.



As for Ryan's Surrey Girl who desperately wants to be a reality tv star and posted a video of her trying to convince someone to have sex with her 6 year old daughter, she has a criminal record for fraud and theft. Big surprise. In the video she made reference to her dealer. It certainly doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out who her dealer was.

Justin Payne is good. Ryan Laforge is not.

Here's a mentally challenged kid that lost his job because Ryan and his Surrey girl with the criminal record for fraud and theft lured him in. The kid met a girl on a dating app that said she was 19. She contacted him. After getting to know her she then claimed she was 14. He invited her to his work to meet her and go on a date not to have sex with her and he lost his job over it. There were no conversations about sex at all. Ryan exploited him for his own personal gain. Ryan is a piece of garbage. He is what we refer to locally as Surrey trash.

Now Ryan is admitting that the previous guy they tricked agreed to pay for sex with his Surrey girl. She "posed" as a sex trade worker and said if you want sex with me you have to have sex with my daughter too. That's not a citizen's arrest you dumb f*ck. You don't even know how to make a citizen's arrest. You didn't observe him commit a crime and you didn't charter him. In their evidence the Surrey girl admitted their mark told them he had never done anything like that before and was simply agreeing with what the sex trade worker demanded. Ryan and his Surrey trash call the cops but refuse to hand over the evidence that might convict their mark.

Then trailer trash Surrey girl posts on facebook with the hashtag #gooflivesdontmatter and #fuckthepolice. She's right about one thing. Their crew of Surrey trash don't matter, the police do.



Ryan Laforge video soliciting donations from mark

I have a copy of a video Ryan posted soliciting donations from their mark. Ryan says to the mark why don't you do something posative like make a huge donation to sexually abused children or something like that. At 14:00 in the video Ryan says you are going on facebook. If you are really really serious about this being wrong our organization we need all kinds of things man. We need cell phones. I'm just saying. If a donation of cell phones came that would help us find more guys, that would be something posative. That's not extortion. (Yes it is) You asked what you could do. The mark replied and said I'll help you guys out. Then Ryan goes on more about how donating to his organization would be a good thing. W5 exposed Ryan for what he really is.

Party hardy toy soldiers. Pride cometh before the fall so it does.

Another "terrorist" attack in Russia with no motive

Speaking of the recurring deception, we hear news of another horrific bombing in Russia with no apparent motive. In 1999, the Russian KGB allegedly conducted a wave of bombings in Russia in order to justify war against Chechnya and put Vladimir Putin into power. This was apparently a false flag attack wrongfully blamed on Chechen terrorists. 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.

The November Man with Pierce Brosnan was based on a true story. Graham Fuller was involved with Iran contra. Investigative reporter Daniel Hopsicker demonstrated that the address for the terrorist group known as 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. James Corbet and Sibel Edmons talked about CIA contractor Graham Fuller’s ties to the Boston bombing. The recurring deception continues.

Hells Angels pride parade at Devil's Rejects clubhouse

The Goldstream Gazette is reporting that over 100 Hells Angels converged on the devil Rejects clubhouse in Langlford Saturday and that members from Quebec and Ontraio were present. "A group of non-riding members also arrived via stretch limousine."

I thought the city closed that cubhouse down. I have no problem with members honouring the death of an associate but that is not what this is about. It's a gay pride parade at the Devil's rejects clubhouse. L&R is not what they are promoting. They're promoting something else.

I used to work with a guy called Dutchie who was a talented musician. He cut a CD called Retro with some of his own songs on it. One of them, number 14 called Parade started off with the line "I once saw a Jimmy leading a parade." He was referring to three Jimmy's - Jim Jones, Jimmy Baker and Jimmy Swaggart. Three idiots who rallied mobs and deceived them just like these clowns. His cynical conclusion was he wished they take their side show from his front door.

Grown men calling themselves the Devil's Army is just plain stupid. It's doing the time warp right back to Rainbow Ricky's Satan's Angels. The group that was convicted of kidnapping hippies and sodomizing them with broomsticks. It's all in chapter 7 of my free E-book.

They were caught on wiretap saying we caught "another" butler. They made him stand in a bucket naked and masterbate to the music before sodomizing him with a broomstick. That is the documented history of the Satan's Angels who patched over and became the Vancouver Hells Angels. No heterosexual man wants to see that kind of stuff. That's because there wasn't any men or heterosexuals in that group. Just a bunch of deranged misfits. Like I said, the Gypsy Wheelers in Whiterock were fine but the Satan's Angels in Vancouver always were f*ck ups.

Fatal shooting at Langley Hotel - Update

The Langley Times is reporting that "One person is dead following a shooting at a Langley hotel. The male victim was in an SUV in the parking lot of the Sandman Signature hotel at 8828 201 St. around 2 p.m. this afternoon (Saturday) when shots were fired. He died of his injuries at the scene." Global posted a news video about the incident.

The Langley Times is reporting that IHIT announced that the victim in the shooting was 20 year old Tyrell Michael Sinnott from Surrey. He had a criminal record and was involved in the drug trade.

Hollyburn Lodge Restored and Revitalized

It's nice to see Hollyburn Lodge restored and revitalized. It's only open for two more weekends before the season closes but I'm glad they were able to save and preserve that nostalgic piece of history. The snowpack on the mountain is huge right now so it will be a snowshoers' paradise when the ski hill closes snowshoeing in the sunshine and the melting snow.



Whitecliff is always a nice place to visit too. My father used to take me there when I was a kid to watch the sun set. This is my home. This is where I grew up. I was never a part of the gang life. I'm from a different world. There is nothing in their world that interests me. Absolutely nothing.

Fire engulfs skyscraper in Dubai

The Telegraph is reporting that "an inferno burned early Sunday in a high-rise tower complex being built alongside Dubai's largest mall, its thick black smoke shrouding surrounding buildings in a desert metropolis where skyscraper blazes remain a worry. Though authorities said the fire caused no injuries, the blaze happened just a block away from the 63-story The Address Downtown Dubai tower, which burned in an inferno seen around the world on New Year's Eve on 2015." The 2015 fire was referred to as an inferno. There have been many others.



Remember the movie the towering inferno? All these steel framed towers catch on fire and none of them collapse. Imagine that. The third tower collapsing into it's own blueprint at freefall speed was unprecedented. Experts in the field boldly declare the only way that can happen is if the load bearing beams are blown out just like in a controlled demolition - The Recurring Deception.

The end of the Surrey Leader creates an opportunity

Well this is nostalgic. It represents the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. After all, every end represents a new beginning so it does. My Goddaughter was telling me she heard the Surrey Leader and the Surrey Now are merging. They are no longer going to exist as separate papers. Instead of two papers there's only going to be one now instead.

Sure enough, I pick up the paper off the ground and the headline reads July 17 1929 - March 31 2017 "Here lies the last edition of the 88 year old Surrey Leader. Join us inside for a celebration of life for this storied newspaper of record." It's kind of sad but it kind of makes sense too. Having one local paper instead of two reduces duplication, cuts costs and can reach a bigger market. I just thought it would have made more sense to keep the Leader and get rid of the Now.

Without the Surrey Leader the quality, credibility and objectivity of the local media will be greatly diminished. That in turn affects our democratic system. When big business kills small business it also kills the freedom of the press because centralized news becomes much easier to control. Now, I'm afraid the market isn't going to expand it's going to collapse and we are entering the Brave New World of corporate propaganda.

This leads us to ask, in the world of globalization and corporate mergers, is there still a place for local news? I boldly declare yes there is and I'll tell you why. Because there is money in it. There's still a place for television which is paid for through commercial advertizing. Wherever there is a market, there will always be people wanting to target that market and advertise their products and services. Not to mention the freedom of the press represents a democratic system.

Small business is local. They want to reach out to local consumers. That's why there will always be a need for local news. Jimmy Pattison and your man John Volken from Price Pro understand this concept. Price Pro regularly advertises in the local papers because they want to reach local consumers. Price Pro is a nonprofit supermarket in Surrey. It wouldn't make sense for them to pay for advertising in Toronto when they are located in Surrey. Hence the need for speed in local media. After all, small business represents the free market.

Local media benefits consumers too. In every small town, locals know each other. Local reporters get the inside scoop on local stories because they have local sources. Take Kevin Diakiw. He is a local reporter with the Surrey Leader that stands out as a leader in his community. Kevin broke the Janice Shore story when everyone else was too busy to notice.

He also got the inside scoop on the Larry Mizen story from doing his own footwork on the Whalley Strip. I myself gave Kevin an exclusive interview during my overly publicized court case because of the respect I have for him as a journalist.

I've seen Kevin at press conferences where the politicians all line up to acknowledge him and kiss his ass because they respect his credibility. This means there's still a need for local talent. As we speak the Surrey Leader has a timely article about the shocking not guilty verdict in the Craig Widdifield murder trial. Clearly we still have the need for speed in local media.

Yo Kevin, let us know when your new blog is up and running.

We're also waiting to hear with what Paula Carlson and the others come up with next as well.

Video killed the radio star but digital heroes live. Patrick Lamontagne's political satire continues.



The end of the Freedom of the Press

The more I think about it the more scary this becomes. This wasn't a merger of two local papers. With one sweep of the pen some pencil neck corporate hack just wiped out the most credible media outlet in the City. Surrey is a pretty big city to not have it's own local media. Yes the Now exists but they didn't keep on the employees from the Leader they fired the whole team.

So who's next? Since Postmedia News own the Vancouver Sun as well as the Vancouver Province are they going to get rid of one of those papers? We have Kim Bolan from the Vancouver Sun writing for both papers now and Keith Fraser from the Vancouver Province doing the same. Since the take over all the local papers sound the same. Is the Press still free? Where is the room for different opinions? What about supply and demand? Don't different papers appeal to different readers? Does one paper lean slightly to the left while the other lean slightly to the right? Are we all now going to be force fed one homogenous cloned propaganda driven by the big corporations because they pay the most for advertising?

The biggest concern is that this media blackout has happened right before a provincial election. An election driven by massive campaign contributions from the Communist party of China to a political party so corrupt it made the New York Times but barely mentioned in the local media. A political party being sued for fraud for using tax dollars on advertising and political contributions to pay themselves a wage. Perhaps the timing of this media blackout has been well planned.

My beef with corporate monopolies is that it leads to the wrong place. I believe in free enterprise and small business. That is what a right wing conservative party is *supposed* to support. Yet corporate monopolies are more profitable since they destroy the free market and gouge consumers. As a trade off the corporate monopolies bribe the politicians through political contributions and control the media through advertising dollars. Remember the Rothschilds used hostile takeovers to gain a monopoly on the oil industry. They also funded the Communist revolution in Russia. This is where the right goes wrong and ends up extreme left. Communism is not good. Neither are corporate monopolies and the political parties that endorse them over small business and the free market. Buyer Beware. The BC Liberals are more left than the NDP.

Free Enterprise can protect the Freedom of the Press

Here's an idea. Since the end of the Surrey Leader has created a vacuum in a viable market how about free enterprise respond to the opportunity? We all complain about corporate mergers and the fall of the mainstream media but are we willing to do anything about it? Are we willing to seek out alternate media sources? Now that all the staff at the Surrey Leader have been laid off and are free agents, how about them forming their own company and creating their own digital newspaper online for not only Surrey but the rest of the world to read as well just like the White Rock Sun? I'd read it. Behind the dark clouds the sun is still shining. Peace.

David Giles recives 18 year prison sentence for cocaine trafficking

Kim Bolan is reporting that Skeletor received a 18 year prison sentence for cocaine trafficking. Finally. This is the long time member of the Hells Angels that was directly involved in numerous drug busts including the Western Wind drug seizure but always seemed untouchable. That's why I referred to him as Skeletor lord of the underworld. He looked just like him.

I've been writing about him for a long time. People in Kelowna would send me pictures of him on a regular basis. I'm glad Postmedia News is a little more open with the sharing of pictures of known criminals now. I do believe that's in the public's best interest. I have on occasion used some of their pictures of criminals to raise public awareness. Likewise they regularly use this one of Giles from my web site. That kind of information sharing is in everyone's best interest.

Giles was originally from the 13th Tribe and first became a member of the Hells Angels in Halifax. I wrote about his first stolen motorcycle that he received from the Lennoxville massacre. Members of the Hells Angels in Quebec wiped out one of their own chapters and gave him one of their dead brothers motorcycles as the spoils of war. That kind of selfishness and greed exemplified his tenure with the club. To understand the future you have to go back in time.



Giles was caught on wire stating that his friendship is for sale and that he was only interested in friends that could benefit him and the club. That is what he was taught and what he learned from Mom Boucher himself in Quebec. I saw a picture of Giles beside Boucher when he got out of prison on the history channel. Still ugly as f*ck. Not like back in the day when he visibly looked like an active member of the Village people.



They say Giles is terminally ill. That's too bad. What's worse is the disappointing legacy he has left behind. As Gladiator once said, what we do in life echos in eternity. Choose wisely. Peace.

Vancouver Hells Angel Meltdown

Kim Bolan is reporting that the New Hardside chapter of the Hells Angels is located in Vancouver BC. God help them. Hooking up with a brown guy certainly doesn't make them look cool. Nothing could help these two rejects look cool. Look at the picture they posted. It's like a picture of Huey, Dewey and Louie. Mental midgets trying to look scary. Well it certainly backfired. Now they all look like idiots. No wonder the other chapters didn't want them. What happened to Larry Naicker after he posed for a picture with Larry Amero? Oh right, he was shot dead. Cub pack.

Surminder even looks embarrassed standing beside the fro hoe and the duck dynasty decoy. He's thinking they dont pay me enough for this sh*t. We used to make fun of clowns like this back in college. Surminder has more IQ in his toenail than the other two clowns put together. Poor guy. What people will do for money. Some people just have no self respect any more. Pity.

Justice for Hudson Brooks - Cop shot herself

The Peace arch News is reporting that "A police audio recording from the morning Hudson Brooks was shot and killed by the RCMP in 2015 confirms that the South Surrey man “did not stand a chance,” his mother says. “Within four seconds of them approaching Hudson he was shot! You can not hear a word from Hudson. The officer did not say a word, not stop put your hands up nothing! Just shot him down!” Brooks’ mother wrote on the Justice for Hudson Facebook page Wednesday. Last Friday, a YouTube user posted an audio recording identified as an exchange between emergency officials on the morning Brooks was killed. The recording includes a statement by a female officer indicating (I) think I shot myself.”

This confirms what I originally reported when it happened. Hudson was running to the police for help. He wasn't saying kill me he was saying Help! They are trying to kill me! He was running from a mob at the same park where a mob beat Dario Bartoli to death. The female officer admitted on the radio she shot herself. Hudson was unarmed running to the police for help. A female officer drew her gun and shot herself by accident and everyone else just heard shots fired officer down and shot Hudson dead. It was a heart wrenching tragedy.

Man shot dead in Edmonton

The Edmonton Journal is reporting that Police are investigating the death of a man found in a northwest Edmonton park over the weekend as a homicide. An autopsy by the medical examiner found Benedicto George, 25, died as a result of a shooting. CBC is reporting that "George was known to police and had a lengthy criminal record. He previously pleaded guilty to possession of a stolen credit card and credit card data. He was due to stand trial in provincial court next month on a series of unresolved charges, including possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and obstruction of a peace officer."

This isn't the first time a drug dealer was shot dead in Edmonton before his case went to trial. April 2014 full patch Edmonton Hells Angel Blake Christie was arrested along with 9 other associates for numerous drug and weapon offenses. Six full patch members including Dominic DiPalma faced criminal organization charges. They killed Blake on July 21, 2015 before his case went to trial.

One of Blake's co accused, Dominic DiPalma Jr the tiny full patch Edmonton Hells Angel was sentenced to six years for cocaine trafficking. Brent Koziak, the full patch Hells Angel from the Red Deer Nomads is still out and about. He was the one Blake worked for. With friends like that, who needs enemies. The Edmonton HAs are dirty as f*ck. So is the EPS. Thank God for ALERT.

Hells Angels Dark Business in Thailand

There have been some new developments in the Hells Angels meltdown in Thailand. ABC Australia is reporting that Thaksin "Sin" Monthonthaksin was one of the founders of the outlaw motorcycle club's Pattaya branch a year ago. But now he is worried about the direction it is taking. "It's changed so much because there are many Australians, whose roles and power has been increasing," Mr Thaksin told the ABC. Charity rides and oversized cheques are being replaced with what he describes as "dark business". Big Surprise.

Aside from Thaiboxing, what is Bangkok famous for? What dark business are the Hells Angels trying to take over? Thaksin was the founding member in Thailand. What was his crime? He chose an Asian as a prospect. The Australians Hells Angels didn't like that so they beat him up. Glen Norris, an Australian Hells Angel who lives in Bangkok is at the root of the dispute.

Wayne Schneider was involved in a large drug network on behalf of the Australian Hells Angels. They had his bodyguard kill him and put Glen Norris in charge of that network. AFFA Not.

Independent Soldier shot dead in Vernon

Castanet is reporting that the body of Dustin Rogers, 26, was found March 23 on Silver Star in Vernon. He was shot dead. Photos on Facebook show Rogers with a large Independent Soldiers tattoo on his torso. One has to wonder if he was a member in good standing.

The Prevention Coalition to the rescue

A blog reader recently sent me a link to a very interesting website for a non profit organization called the Prevention Coalition. It contains a vast amount of resources for parents of high risk teens and an interesting article from the U.S. surgeon general about addiction.

Prevention is one of the four pillars that get's cast aside and overshadowed by the harm reduction obsession. Another relevant link is to a website known as Drug and Alcohol Treatment. Treatment is another one of the four pillars that gets overshadowed by harm promotion.

"With the legalization of marijuana in many U.S. states and the overall prevalence of drug use in many communities, it can seem as if substance abuse is becoming a national norm. At the Prevention Coalition, we’re fighting that sense of complacency. We believe that every child and young adult deserves the opportunity to make a fully educated decision on drug use."

The new report on addiction from the US surgeon general states: "More people use prescription opioids than use tobacco. There are more people with substance abuse disorders than people with cancer. One in five Americans binge drink. And substance abuse disorders cost the U.S. more than $420 billion a year." This ties into the pharmaceutical scam Macklemore sang about.

Christy Clark government sued for fraud

It' about time. CBC is reporting that "Two Vancouver lawyers have filed a lawsuit against the B.C. government for allegedly misusing tax money. The civil claim - filed Monday morning by David Fai and Paul Doroshenko - alleges the government broke the law by spending as much as $15 million a year ago to enhance the image of the governing BC Liberal party. We are seeking that the money being spent by the government on non-essential advertisement be reimbursed to the government coffers, said Doroshenko. We look at all these advertisements that the government is running right now as breach of the obligation the government has to spend money for the benefit of British Columbians. They are not spending it for the benefit of British Columbians, they are spending it for the benefit of the BC Liberal Party."

1130 News is reporting that "Doroshenko says they’re acting on behalf of a concerned taxpayer seeking certification of this case as class action. “They’re spending our taxpayer money. Your money, my money, money that should go to hospitals and firefighters, to advertise the government to try to help their re-election hopes. That’s wrong. It’s a breach of the duty that they owe to taxpayers.” It' about time somebody said something about this missuse of tax dollars.

Last election the NDP were ahead in the polls. The BC Liberals bought a commercial during the Superbowl with tax dollars. That was obscene. Local hero Bill Tieleman wrote about it. Why do they do it? Because it works. If you tell the same lie enough times the majority of people will start believing it. They haven't balanced the budget. They created a tsunami of debt through BC Hydro.

Here's the flip side to the fraud: The Christy Clark government gets millions of dollars in political contributions from special interest groups who receive political favors in return. Developers that want the government to flip agricultural land into industrial so they can make a killing. Dirty developers or corporations that want monopolies on the market so they can gouge consumers and taxpayers at the same time. The BC Hydro fraud was the ultimate example.

So not only do they get millions of dollars in political contributions, they dont even spend that money on their political campaign. They spend tax dollars on their political campaign and use the money they raised to pay themselves a wage. That absurd corruption even made the New York Times. The New York Times referred to British Columbia as The Wild West of Canadian Political Cash. It's about time they got sued for using tax dollars on partisan adds.

The Recurring Deception

Adolf Hitler burned down the German parliament building and blamed it on terrorists so he could become Chancellor. Then he burned down a German radio station and blamed it on Poland to justify an invasion. The rest is history. This recurring pattern was eloquently illustrated in the original Star Wars saga. Senator Palpatine got the trade federation to attack his planet and he used that attack to get himself elected Chancellor. Then he used another attack to suspend the free republic and become a galactic empire. The rest is history. It is an timely allegory for our day. History tends to repeat itself until we learn from it.



Then there was Operation Northwoods. A plan submitted by Allen Dulles, the Director of the CIA, to kill innocent civilians on American soil and blame it on Cuba to gain public support for an invasion. That plan was real. The declassified document is part of history. It was signed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. If Kennedy hadn't vetoed the insane plot the US government would have actually implemented it and would have killed some of their own civilians to gain public support for an invasion exactly like Hitler did during the war.

Then there was 9/11. The list of discrepancies with the official version of that heinous event keeps growing to this day. No planes hit the third tower which also collapsed at freefall speed into its own blueprint just like a controlled demolition. Experts in the field of controlled demolition state the only way a tower can collapse at freefall speed into it's own blueprint is if the load bearing beams are blown out just like a controlled demolition. Ever since that horrific event, the main stream media entered the twilight zone.



Even the Lockerbie bombing was suspect. CSIS provided the explosives for the Air India bombing. The recurring deception surrounds terrorist attacks that have no real motive. There was a bombing in London but the evidence showed the bomb was placed under the train not left in a bag on the train. The soldier stabbing in London was absolutely surreal. Buyer Beware.



Recently there was another "terrorist" attack in London. Another lone wolf with no motive. They came up with the lone wolf scam because they couldn't get away with falsely accusing actual organizations because they would deny responsibility like how the Taliban asked what proof do you have that Bin Laden did 911? The confession video didn't even look like him.

Don't get me wrong. The recent attack in London was horrible - people died. That was very real. I'm just saying the prime suspects are once again tied to the intelligence community just like Operation Northwoods. The whole idea of a conservative MP just happen to be near by and was photographed doing cpr on one of the victims is just a bit too much to swallow.

So the Islamophobes seize the opportunity to pass around a picture of a young woman wearing a hijab right after the attack. If you look at the expression on her face she looks terrified. What on earth do you think is going through her mind? First it's shock of seeing people dead or injured. Then it's fear because she knows everyone is going to look at her hijab and blame her when it is obvious she had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Back in the day, I have no doubt there used to be lots of Palestinians who were bat sh*t crazy and celebrated when civilians were killed. That was a long time ago and was because they were stuck right in the middle of the conflict. It was the you kill one of ours and we kill one of yours mentality. Belfast was like that for years. Nobody feels that way any more. The Irish Proclamation saw through that scam and declares:

"The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and of all its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally, and oblivious of the differences carefully fostered by an alien Government, which have divided a minority from the majority in the past." It was the alien government that fostered the sectarian violence.

In contrast, I just stepped out briefly to the store and ran into my Syrian neighbour wearing her full hijab going for a walk with one of her young daughters. She had a big smile on her face and says Hello, how are you? I am good she says with a big smile on her face. She is so proud that she is starting to learn English. So are her kids. They are learning English faster than I'm learning Arabic. I went to the friendship centre to take a class in Arabic. It was fun but I had to cheat. I had to write all the words with English characters phonetically. Unlike French, Arabic is a completely different alphabet. That's very hard for me. I totally understand her frustration learning English at first because she didn't know the alphabet. Now she's doing great.

The other day we bumped into each other and she introduced her new friend to my daughter and I. A local caucasian woman from Surrey was a volunteer and was helpig her learn English. With her full hijab on the neighbor put her arm around her and said this is my new sister with a big smile on her face. The volunteer no doubt felt the love and appreciation of her service. This is the way it's supposed to be. Like the Jewish Rabbi that spoke at the Muslim Mosque in Vancouver. This is the Vancouver I was born and raised in. When people come here they retain their cultural heritage but they leave their differences and animosity behind.

Fatal shooting in Abbotsford

Evidently there was a fatal shooting in Abbotsford yesterday. The Abbotsford News is reporting that "the victim of the fatal shooting Friday afternoon on Chase Street is Jaskarn Lally, an associate of two Abbotsford men previously gunned down in gang-related killings. The shooting took place at about 4:30 p.m. at a home in the 3500 block of Chase Street. Sgt. Judy Bird said police were called to a residence, where they located a 20-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Bird said the incident appears to be targeted."

Vancouver welcomes Ziggy Marley

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Reggae artist Ziggy Marley is among the next crop of musicians announced for the 2017 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival. Marley appears at the Vogue Theatre on June 26." Now that's what I'm talking about.

Ziggy Marley and Lauryn Hill performed a legendary rendition of Redemption song together. Steve Marley also performed a legendary version of No Woman no Cry with the Fugees.

Nicky Jam is the next generation that remixes Reggae with Spanish music creating Reggaeton.

A dramatic rescue and a senseless fatality

There was a dramatic rescue of a driver trapped in the cab of a flat deck that was hanging over the edge on an overpass near the Surrey Delta border. The driver of a rig hooked up a chain from the flat deck to his rig so it wouldn't fall over the edge and rescue workers moved into position. Well done souljas. Saving lives one day at a time.

In contrast a traffic camera showed a different car scream through a led light right through a busy intersection at full speed in Surrey. It then t-boned another vehicle and killed one of the occupants. Police believe alcohol was a factor in the accident. What a tragedy.

One would think if someone had a bit too much to drink, they would drive slow to compensate. There was another woman in Surrey who went screaming through a red light and t-boned another vehicle. Witnesses from the Gala said alcohol was a factor in that accident as well. Only she lied and said the other party ran the red light. Locals knew that wasn't possible because at that intersection she would have had to have come to a complete stop to trigger the demand light. That woman went on to become a conservative MP.

Peter Leask Strikes Again - Update

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Citing an 'extremely shorthanded' judiciary, a B.C. Supreme Court judge Monday urged two lawyers to attempt to complete a two-week rape trial in five days, suggesting the prosecutor not call two Crown witnesses and limit questioning of the complainant."

"B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Leask, who lives and usually sits in the Lower Mainland, also said he would rather be home than in the Interior. 'Full disclosure: I live in Vancouver,' the judge said. “Kamloops is a wonderful place, but I like sleeping in my own bed.” The trial relates to allegations of ongoing sexual assaults of a teenaged girl by her stepfather in Adams Lake dating back to the mid-1970s. The stepfather is facing four charges, including rape and sexual intercourse with a female under 14 years old."

Peter Leask wants to fast track a rape trial and deny two witnesses because he is inconvenienced by having to hear the case in Kamloops when he lives in Vancouver. Fire Him! We all remember Peter Leask. He is the one that gave a Hells Angels associate house arrest for trafficking cocaine. He also let a full patch Hells Angel off when the police caught him red handed loading 52 kilos of cocaine onto a truck from His storage locker. The fact that Peter Leask is still a BC Supreme Court judge is a crime against humanity and proves things need to change.

Canada dot com printed an article by Georgialee Lang discussing why we need to elect judges in Canada like they do in the United States. Georgialee Lang is a Vancouver based lawyer who has her own blog called the Law Diva. She even has a religious affiliation.

Personally I'm not completely sold on the need to elect judges although I am not opposed to it. What we really need is a mechanism in place to get rid of bad judges because right now we have none. The fact that Peter Leask is still on the bench until he faces mandatory retirement at age 75 clearly shows the system is broken and needs to be fixed. I'm not the only one that thinks so.

Update: The Vancouver Sun is reporting that after Peter Leask denied the Crown's two star witnesses, the crown was forced to stay the rape charges. That is obscene. The Times Colonist is reporting that a complaint against Peter Leask has been filed with Canadian Judicial Council and well it should. When one bad cop does something wrong it makes all cops look bad. Likewise when one bad judge does something wrong it brings the entire judiciary into disrepute.

Accidental shooting in East Vancouver

CKNW is reporting that "What was initially reported as a shooting on Vancouver’s downtown east side Saturday morning was actually a self-inflicted accident, according to Vancouver Police. A man was taken to hospital after 2:30 a.m. when police found him on the ground in front of the Maple Hotel, 177 East Hastings St. suffering from gunshot wounds. Following interviews with investigators, police say it turns out the man had accidentally discharged the firearm on himself."

Word has it that the nature of the self inflicted injury was similar to the one created by a Hells Angels associate in Australia. Nobody said criminals were very smart. Control the muzzel and don't put one into the chamber until you're ready to fire. Idiot.

Just like that accidental shooting at a Surrey injection site. It's a good thing they gave them a clean needle before the shooting. Our good intentions have turned into criminal culpability.

Shots fired at house party in Abbotsford

The Abby News is reporting that "Four young men are in hospital with varying injuries after a shooting last night (Friday) at a large house party in central Abbotsford. The incident occurred just before midnight in the 2300 block of Beaver Street. Abbotsford Police Sgt. said police who arrived found two injured men in their early 20s both suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. They were taken to hospital. Two more men – also in their early 20s – also arrived at the hospital suffering from injuries related to the incident. Bird said one of those men had gunshot wounds, while the other sustained injuries related to blunt-force trauma. All four remain in hospital."

"Three are being treated at this time for non-life-threatening injuries. One man is in stable, but serious, condition. The canine unit was brought to the scene and a firearm has been located, but police are not releasing any details on the make of weapon at this time. Bird said the motive is currently unclear, but police believe it is related to the dynamics of whatever occurred at the house party." Crack heads. If you can't handle the booze, don't drink. Saint Paddy's Day is holy.

The Last Don Standing - Update

I have an interesting book in front of me that just crossed my desk. It's called Last Don Standing: The Secret Life of Mob Boss Ralph Natale by Larry McShane and Dan Pearson. It's not due to be released until March 21st but you can preorder it on Amazon. The publisher sent me a copy so I got a sneak peak before it was released. Larry McShane is a crime reporter that writes for the New York Daily News. Dan Pearson is a producer from Brooklyn. Ralph Natale was a bonafide leader in the Costa Nostra. Everyone knows the Costa Nostra is the real thing.

The Philly dot com is reporting that Former Philadelphia mob boss Ralph Natale – believed to be the first sitting La Cosa Nostra boss to testify against his own crime family – is finally releasing his tell-all memoir this month. So that means this book isn't just about him it was written with his assistance. It's not often a book has a movie deal before the book has been released.

Deadline dot com is reporting that: "The Last Don Standing, the book that recounts the life of Philadelphia Mob Boss Ralph Natale, known as one of the only La Costra Nostra bosses to flip and become a federal witness, is being developed as a feature film and a starring vehicle for Frank Grillo. The book from New York Daily News reporter Larry McShane and producer Dan Pearson, compiles Natale’s frank accounts of the murder of Bugsy Siegel, Jimmy Hoffa’s final days, the mob’s takeover of Atlantic City."

Everyone knows that I'm not a fan of police informants. I do believe law enforcement has a need for police informants, that's just not my thing. However, the reason I am endorsing this book is because this case is different. Ralph Natale wasn't some two bit drug dealer that ratted out his boss to get a reduced prison sentence. Ralph Natale was the boss. He was a legitimate Don in the Costa Nosta who expposes how he was betrayed and went into witness protection. It is a real life story similar to the Netflix series Lilyhammer. Lilyhammer was a hilarious series about a New York mobster who went into witness protection because he got screwed over by his own family so to speak. When they asked him where he wanted to go he said Norway because he saw it on the Winter Olympics and thought it would be a nice place to settle down.

So the big city publishers in New York gives the Gangsters Out News Syndicate an exclusive by showing us an inside look at the book before it's even published. What an honour. This guy is no Justin Bieber bitch. He is the real deal. Finally an inside look at how the business is supposed to run with dignity before the spineless dirtbags ruined it with betrayal and greed.

Philadelphia has a lot of history. Not only was it the birthplace of the Rocky movies, but it is also the home of the Liberty Bell and where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were debated and signed. When people think of organized crime they first think of New York and Chicago. Philadelphia is right beside New York City. The crime family in Philadelphia was one of the most active American Mafia families outside of the Five Families of New York.

Synopsis

This book has a happy ending. Ralph is in a better place. It shows how times have changed. The new kids on the block have no respect for others because they have no self respect. Old School reigns supreme because the new kids on the block simply never went to school.

Mob Boss Ralph Natale was the Don. He was the one that ran the entire enterprise. When he went to prison his underlings didn't give his wife a dime. She was left with no income at all. Like WTF? In the book Ralph Natale clarifies "I became a government witness. I never wore a wire. I never entrapped anybody." He ended up doing more time than the people he testified against.

"Natale mourns the loss of the old Mafia, the world where he grew up. The whole thing was killed by men who were never satisfied with their position or their riches, men without respect for the Life or their own lives. Greed destroyed everything." It always does. Peace.
