Call of Duty

The other day a friend asked me why I call people soulja. It's from the song soldier boy. When I first started the blog everyone used to call each other gangster. We'd be like what's up G? That was back in 2009. Times have changed. No one wants to be a gangster any more. After the Surrey Six and the murder of Brittney Irving and Janice Shore everyone has seen through the life and it's no longer cool. Now everyone wants to be a soldier. That's cool. That is honourable. Pimping crack hoes is not honorable. Defending civil liberty is.

Making a sacrifice for someone else is something people in the gang life can't comprehend. They're all a bunch of brainless happy bunnies who think It's all about me. There is no happiness in selfishness and greed. Christ said he who loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Christ also said greater love hath no man than this, that he layeth down his life for his friends. The Passion of Christ yo. Mel Gibson saw it. He freaking directed it. Actions speak louder than words.

Victoria police chief resigns

Speaking of the Friends of Craig Callen runnning for the hills, the Times Colonist is reporting that "Suspended Victoria police chief Frank Elsner has resigned, but that won’t halt the disciplinary hearings he is facing for six allegations of misconduct. The Victoria Police Board announced the resignation on Thursday." CBC is reporting that "The Victoria police chief had been suspended with pay since April 2016."

Frank Elsner is from Sudbury where he "associated with criminals and partied with drug users, bikers, and hookers. He set up elaborate drug deals, disappeared for weeks on end, was involved in a hitman operation, and had multiple aliases." This is an example of an undercover cop who goes undercover not because he hates crime because he covets that life. I do not. There is nothing in that life that appeals to me and I think married cops that go undercover to infiltrate the biker gangs because they covet that lifestyle are trash.

Donald Trump arms ISIS

The Independent is reporting that "Donald Trump will use his upcoming Saudi Arabia trip to announce one of the largest arms sales deals in US history - somewhere in the neighbouhood of $98bn to $128bn worth of arms. That could add up to $350bn over ten years."

Although Saudi Arabia is an ali, the concern is who Saudi Arabia turns around and sells those arms to. It's like communist China seling nuclear missiles to North Korea through it's deal to purchase Canadian reactors. Last year Wikileaks reveals how the Clinton's family's charitable foundation received a million dollars for convincing the US to sell arms to ISIS through Quatar and Saudi Arabia. So once again, say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss yo.

Sheila Fraser's review of RCMP lawsuits

Speaking of the resignation of Bob Paulson and Craig Callen. CBC is reporting that The women who were the subject of Sheila Fraser's review of four lawsuits launched in British Columbia about harassment and sexual harassment hope the the federal government and the RCMP will apply all of the recommendations and bring about actual change within the police force. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale asked the former Auditor General to conduct the review after the women contacted him in November 2015, asking for help. They said they had no confidence in the RCMP's internal mechanisms to deal with harassment."

"Sheila Fraser says the four cases illustrate the existing grievance process is "inefficient and bureaucratic" and calls for a panel of outside experts - not police - to oversee harassment complaints and measures to prevent reprisals against those who complain of harassment, and also for health services to be "delivered by an independent external party or parties."

"Fraser reviewed how the RCMP handled the sexual harassment cases of Catherine Galliford, Atoya Montague and Susan Gastaldo and the harassment case of Alice Fox. Her long-awaited report was released earlier this week, along with the report of the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission headed by Ian McPhail." This is an overview of the review Sheila Fraser presented to Parliament and this is a copy of the actual report.

The Postmedia Genocide Continues

J-Source is reporting that "The Vancouver Sun and The Province newsroom is much smaller after today. On March 24, a number of staff were handed their layoff notices. Postmedia's intention to layoff 54 staff in Vancouver, where the two newspaper's newsrooms were merged last year, was announced on March 10. On March 23, Harold Munro, the editor-in-chief of the Sun and The Province, sent a note to the newsroom explaining that layoffs would begin the next day."

The article then lists varies twitter posts from numerous reporters who received layoff notices some after working 20 years expressing their concern with the decision.



Even Kim Bolan points out that the layoffs occurred despite profits made from readers and advertisers. That's because when corporate monopolies are concerned profits are never enough. There always needs to be an increase in profits at all costs. Even at the cost of losing any and all unique identity and the risk of turning all the unique news outlets into one homogeneous clone show of each other. Clearly the clone wars have begun.

Mike Hager came up with an interesting observation. He said the massive layoff was a huge opportunity for other news outlets to scoop up great young journalists. Very true, only what other news outlets? With all the Postmedia mergers almost all the news outlets in Western canada are owned by the same entity. Other than myself and the Gangsters out News syndicate the only independent news agencies left here are the Tyhee, the Epoch News and the CBC.



As I said after the Surrey Leader Genocide, all these layoffs create an opportunity for the private market to start a new news agency. Supply and demand. All the qualified journalists could form their own company and create a new online digital newspaper like the White rock Sun and stand independent of the media merger clone show.

This article fro J-Source is two months old. I missed it because it wasn't in the main stream media. I ran across it when researching a recent obscene article the Vancouver Province ran promoting Wally Oppal again. Wally Oppal was a criminal. That's why criminal respected him.

I have nothing against Kevin Griffin. I'm just pointing out that the recent article he wrote promoting such a flaming scoundrel is a sign of the times with regards to all the Postmedia layoffs within the Vancouver Sun and Province. Everyone is afraid of losing their job and will print whatever obscene trash Harold Munro tells them to write.

I was astounded when the Vancouver sun started promoting Wally Oppal to be the head of the Missing Woman inquiry. That was obscene. Wally Oppal was a crappy judge and did an even worse job as Attorney General of BC covering up th flaming flaws in the BC Injustice system. So much so, Vern Penner and the Aldergrove Judicial review board posted a huge sign on a flat deck truck saying recall Wally Oppal.



Wally Oppal's destruction of the missing woman's inquiry was offensive to the victims, the families of the victims and the public who paid his wages expecting justice to be delivered when he did the opposite. As soon as the Hells Angels were mentioned, he shut down the inquiry and turned it into a less adversarial panel discussion where he could more effectively censor what evidence was submitted to the inquiry. After that he was seen giving a member of the Hells Angels a big hug in public.

So now Harold Munro's clone soldiers are once again promoting the same criminal for an new political position. That is obscene. Perhaps Harold Munro should get his pink slip and they should give the job to Wayne Morality who is much more qualified in the eyes of the public. Now that is supply and demand. If the big newspapers fail to deliver objective journalism, it's time for the consumers to g somewhere else. All the money from corporate advertising will not benefit them if none of their readers believe their offensive trash. Harold Munro, take the buy out and disappear.

Journalist and photographer from Global arrested covering accident in Hamilton

HG Watson from J-Source just tweeted a link to a news report from the Hamilton Spec claiming a journalist and photographer from Gobal were arrested covering an accident in Hamilton.

"While covering the crash, a Global News videographer and freelance photographer were arrested at the scene. The Global journalist was later released. Police didn't respond to requests for comment about the arrests. In a statement, Global News said the agency was 'very concerned by the circumstances' of the journalist's arrest. 'While we are satisfied he was quickly released without charge, the incident merits further investigation and we will be following up directly with Hamilton Police Service,' spokesperson Rishma Govani said in an email."

Update: Metro News is reporting that "A freelance journalist was charged with obstructing police after he and a Global News videographer were arrested while reporting at a fatal collision in Hamilton on Tuesday night. Hamilton police arrested the two journalists around 7 p.m. at Evans Rd. and Highway 5 where a 10-year-old girl died after being struck by a car." I guess the reporter failed to obey the cops direct order to stop filming. That's a civl lawsuit right there. Filming a dead body is in bad taste but reporters have a right to report the news.

Journalist murdered in Mexico

Time Magazine is reporting that Javier Valdez, a veteran reporter who specialized in covering drug trafficking and organized crime, was slain Monday in the northern Mexico state of Sinaloa, the latest in a wave of journalist killings in one of the world's most dangerous countries for media workers. Valdez is the fifth journalist to be murdered in Mexico in just over two months, and the second high-profile reporter to be slain in the country this decade after Regina Martinez Perez, who was killed in 2012. In 2014 the Cartel murdered a blogger.

I dont mess with the cartel myself. Their obscene level of violence mocks God. I'm not going to be standing near them when the calamities strike. Justice will not sleep forever.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson retires end of June

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson announced in March he’ll retire at the end of June. The Toronto Star is reporting that "The looming departure of Commissioner Bob Paulson has prompted some rank-and-file Mounties to call for a joint management approach to running the RCMP instead of the top-down hierarchical system some believe has left it unable to adapt to modern workplace expectations and norms." This is in relation to numerous sexual harassment civl lawsuits the RCMP settled out of court which displayed a pattern of unprofessionalism that permeated the RCMP right up to top management including Craig Callen and Bill Fordy here in BC.

Assistant Commissioner Brenda Butterworth-Carr's promotion to the position of BC's E Division commanding officer has been a colossal step forward. Word on the street is that the infamous swingers known as the Friends of Craig Callen are now running for cover. The question is, will the powers that be let her do her job or will they use her as a poster girl to cover up their mess and tie her hands like they have Duane McDonald and prevent her from actually doing anything while in charge. Time will tell. It always does. Yet the opportunity for a real step forward presents itself.

Bob Paulson talked the talk but he didn't walk the walk. He said he was going to eradicate sexual harassment from the RCMP but he failed to deliver that promise within his own office. The climate of unprofessionalism tolerating and promoting sexual harassment is an easy fix. Finding the political will to embrace the New York model and depart from the current harm promotion model is not. One thing is certain and that is with all the record fentanyl fatalities in Metro Vancouver, the harm promotion of the DTES is not something we should emulate anywhere else.

RCMP watchdog calls for civilian governance

CBC is reporting that "The RCMP will not be able to bring about the necessary change required to address its dysfunctional culture on its own," wrote Ian McPhail, chair of the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP. "A change in governance is required, and such change must come from the outside."

The Georgia Straight is reporting that "A police psychologist who describes the RCMP as a pathological organization has won a battle against the Mounties. The College of Psychologists of B.C. has dismissed a complaint filed by the RCMP against Mike Webster regarding his professional conduct, including his critical comments about the force."

Fatal shooting in Richmond

News 1130 is reporting that "A homicide investigation as been launched after a car crashed on Granville and No.2 Road in Richmond Sunday afternoon. Witnesses say gunshots rang out before a car crashed, leaving one person dead." The Peace arch News is reporting that "Homicide investigators believe a car that had been reported stolen in Surrey in March was used in a fatal shooting in Richmond on Sunday afternoon."

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day:

Leanne Yardley had a mother.

All the fentanyl fatalities had a mother.

Janice Shore had a mother.

Ashley Machiskinic had a mother.

Dianne Rock had a mother.

Chris Mohan had a mother.

Honour them.

Stingray antenna outside Surrey Pretrial

Well this is rather amusing. Yesterday when we were at the Surrey RCMP Open House we walked past the Surrey Pretrial detention centre. I have been to that courthouse a million times and never realized Surrey Pretrial was right across from the courthouse. North Fraser Pretrial is in Port Coquitlam. Surrey Pretrial is a different facility. It's location is pretty ingenious with the ability to transfer prisoners underground from the detention centre to and from the courthouse.

So I'm standing in front of Surrey pretrial reading the sign out front. As I look up the first thing I see is a stingray antenna. Have a look for yourself. It's the same antenna they have installed outside my house. It's the same antenna they have on top of the courthouse in the DTES.



When I made the post about Stingray antennas being used in Surrey someone said it's just a Yagi antenna. Yes it is, but what the hell do you think this antenna is connected to outside the Surrey Pretrial? It's not a radio antenna. They use it for intercepting cell phone communication.

I have to admit I'm not entirely opposed to its use at Surrey pretrial. From an intelligence gathering position it's a pretty smart location. It's the ones outside my house and all over Surrey recording regular civilians wireless communication without a warrant that upsets me.

Surrey RCMP Open House

We went to the Surrey RCMP Open House today. For the most part it was a huge success. They had the bomb squad on site with their robots and gear as well as the ERT and the CFSEU. They had a police dog demonstration, lots of quads and even a helicopter take off right from the courtyard. It was all very posative.



I was somewhat disappointed to see a harm promotion booth on site. That is once again taking us in the wrong direction. The DTES is a failed model Surrey would do well to avoid like the plague.

When we walked down the hall of fame and saw the pictures of the previous and current Surrey Police Chiefs I pointed to the last three: Fraser MacRae - good, Bill Fordy - bad, Dwayne McDonald - good. We've come full circle. As I said before, Fraser MacRae was a Rock Star. Bill Fordy was a flaming idiot. Dwayne McDonald was rock solid. He was our new hope.

Dwayne McDonald is a good man who did great things in Kelowna but someone has his hands tied and is preventing him from doing anything in Surrey. After his huge success in Kelowna he was was transferred to IHIT and the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit was disbanded by Christy Clark. He did such a great job the powers that be made sure he would never do that again. They dont want him interfering with the Hells Angels drug trafficking network.

All this sound and fury about the fentanyl crisis but nothing ever gets done to stop it. Instead we only bend over backwards to promote it. That is not the New York Model. Everyone knows Shakerz is still the hub for the Hells Angels drug trafficking network in Surrey. Randy and Trevor Jones were named in the US cross border drug trafficking indictment and Tbarz was named as the hub of that drug ring. It still is. The name change was just a smoke and mirror distraction to avoid having the bar seized under proceeds of crime in the US indictment.



Everyone knows Tito is a Hells Angels associate that is in charge of the drug trafficking out of Shakerz. Everyone knows they have runners that go from there to the Dell bowling alley who in turn have runners that supply the Whalley strip with drugs. Everyone knows that a Hells Angels prospect actually works at the Front Room a few days a week and that a Hells Angels associate named Wolfpack Roockie supplies the Lighthouse shelter with drugs. Everyone knows that.

I can verify that the police have known that for a year and have refused to do anything about it. So my question is why? Who has Dwayne McDonald's hands tied and is preventing him from doing his job? Once we answer that question we might actually be able to get something accomplished in Surrey. Until then, we never will.

2017 Tofino Summer Jam

This summer the Gangsters Out News Syndicate will be launching the 2017 Tofino Summer Jam. "If ya get jammed up, don't mention my name." Young Jeezy - Soul Survivor featuring Akon yo.

We will he spotlighting the misconduct of Greg Harney and the BCIMC Fraud as well as Clayoquot Action's campaign to stop Imperial Metal's obsession to turn Catface mountian into an open pit mine. So come to Tofino this summer on a warm San Francisco night.



Return to the sacred battleground of Clayoquot Sound. Take an eco tour and see the majesty of Catface mountain in the middle of the protected biosphere and stand with us once again to defend right from wrong. Let's do the timewarp again yo. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again. Word.

Kamloops turns up the heat

Kamloops the Week is reporting that Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said officers from the Uniform Gang Enforcement Team were in the Tournament Capital to help stop criminal activity and prevent organized crime groups from further establishing a presence in the community. “The joint efforts over the weekend targeted those individuals participating in illegal activities and resulted in both enforcement and disruptive measures being taken,” she said.

Let's see if they keep up the pressure on Johnny Newcome's latest chop shop in Kelowna. Although Crimestoppers' new Free Hugs poster campaign is somewhat bizarre, End Gang Life have some other thoughtful posters and videos. Proactive would be arresting the drug dealers selling drugs tainted with fentanyl. Stop the insanity: embrace the New York model.

Tristin Hopper nailed it: Harm Promotion Sucks

Tristin Hopper is an award-winning reporter working for the National desk of the National Post. He just put out a timely article claiming that Vancouver’s drug strategy has been a disaster. Be very wary of emulating it. He nailed it. The Vancouver model in the DTES has been a colossal failure. It is not a model to emulate. The Pharmaceutical Fraud continues...

6 Hells Angels arrested in Langford

Global is reporting that "Six full-patch member of the Hells Angels gang were arrested during a traffic stop on Vancouver Island. Investigators say West Shore RCMP officers stopped a limousine on Highway 1 near Leigh Road in Langford on Saturday. They say the limousine was stopped after it was seen committing a Motor Vehicle Act offence."

"During the traffic stop, police gathered evidence which led to the arrest of all occupants of the vehicle. When the vehicle was searched, police found a loaded handgun with several full magazines and various suspected drugs such as cocaine, marijuana and other suspected controlled substance in tablet forms."

It will be interesting to hear which names were involved. Langford is home to the Devils Rejects.

Korean election results are in

The Guardian is reporting that "Moon Jae-in, a left-leaning liberal who favours engagement with North Korea, has won South Korea’s presidential election, raising hopes of a potential rapprochement with Pyongyang. The former human rights lawyer won 41.4% of the vote, according to an exit poll cited by the Yonhap news agency, placing him comfortably ahead of his nearest rivals, the centrist software entrepreneur Ahn Cheol-soo and the conservative hardliner Hong Joon-pyo, both of whom have conceded defeat.

South Koreans who backed Moon, 64, will be hoping the election result will mark a clean break from the corruption scandal surrounding his disgraced predecessor Park Geun-hye. Hours before polls closed, the national election commission forecast that turnout would exceed 80% – the highest since Kim Dae-jung was elected in 1997."



So we have just witnessed a wonderful example of democracy in action within South Korea. There were massive peaceful protests in South Korea where the people demanded the president resign over corruption allegations. He resigned and they had an election to vote for a new president. That is a perfect example of democracy. In contrast, that would never have happened in North Korea or in China. In Tiananmen square when people protested for democracy the Communist government dispersed the crowd with live ammunition.

North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. That isn't even a bad joke. It is a bold faced lie North Korea is not a democracy or a free republic. It is a totalitarian dictatorship. There is no voting for leaders, there is no free speech, there is no lawful assembly. There is no civl liberty. No protection from unlawful arrest. Those rights do not exist in North Korea or Communist China. Communism is bad. History had recorded that.

North Korea says it will have dialog with U.S. under right conditions

BC Election Results

The NDP and the Green Party could form the new government. We knew it would be close but this is an interesting twist. CBC is reporting that Christy Clark and her Liberals were "elected in 43 of B.C.'s 87 ridings, compared to 41 for the NDP and three for the Green Party. It takes 44 seats to form a majority in B.C. It is B.C.'s first minority government result since 1952."

It takes 44 seats to form the government and Christy doesn't have it so either the Liberals or the NDP have to team up with the Green party to form a government. This is likely the best possible result we could have hoped for. No one has a majority government and the Green Party has the deciding vote just like Chuck Cadman did when he ran as an independent. Finally the Green party has standing and a powerful voice. This could indeed be the beginning of something new and something posative for BC.

CBC is also reporting that Jagrup Brar, Jinny Sims and Garry Begg upset Liberals in Surrey ridings. That means the slimeball Peter fassbender has fallen. Oh happy day. The first task on the agenda is to fix the BC Hydro fraud and contract in the private power brokers that sell power to the public utilities company at above market rates. That Gordon Campbell fraud has defrauded taxpayers and destroyed the budget for long enough.

Update: Everything is up in the air still because not all the votes have been counted. They still haven't counted the advanced polls and the absentee ballots. That means several seats could still swing the other way so it's not over yet. If the status quo holds, the Green Party could have a veto on the Site C Dam. SNC-Lavalin has got to go.

Election Day in BC

Today is election day in BC. Don't forget to vote.

NDP wants to scrap bridge tolls

Some NDP supporters were out with signs on 152nd street in Surrey right before the entrance to the Port Mann toll bridge today. Everyone claims the NDP will tax and spend but that is exactly what the BC Liberals are doing. The NDP want to scrap bridge tolls.



They also opposed the excessive regional gas tax. That would be a reduction in tax. Then the spin doctors change their tune and scoff how do they plan on paying for that? Wait 'till I tell ye.



The kool aid kids claim the only fair thing to do is to toll every bridge. Not. You cannot toll a bridge that has already been paid for. That is illegal. It also infringes on the mobility right in the Canadian Charter of Rights. Putting a toll back on the Lions Gate bridge after it was already tolled and paid for would be unfair. It would just be another tax grap for the Vancouver Mayors' glutton council.

The first thing they can do is contract in the collection of bridge tolls. That fact that we contract out the collection of bridge tolls to American companies is insane. The only reason a private company would agree to collecting bridge tolls is so THEY can make a profit and tax payers expense. That is why the American company that was collecting the toll on the Coquihalla kept the toll on long after it was paid off. So they could make a profit.

Peter Fassbender nose dives before election

Normally vandalizing election signs is in bad taste but this one was rather humorous. A coworker told me that someone had cut out the F in one of Peter Fassbender's election signs leaving it to read Assbender. Somewhat amusing given the disdain for him in this riding.

In contrast, Chuck Cadman was a local politician well respected and admired. He started off Reform after launching his own nonprofit group CRY - Crime Responsibility Youth calling for greater accountability within the young offenders act. After Chuck Cadman was screwed over by Stephen Harper twice, he ran as an independent and won his seat comfortably.

When Chuck Cadman died of cancer, all over Surrey people started posting his election signs they had saved with the slogan RIP Chuck Cadman and We love You Chuck. Chuck Cadman was so respected because he wasn't a dirty politicians like most of the others. He was someone who genuinely cared. Peter Fassbender in contrast is a complete sleazebag.

#IamLinda

Then came Linda. A new social media storm that launched when a BC voter saw Christie Clark in the Grocery store and said she wouldn't be voting for her. Initially Christy Clark's response was fine, stating that's the perk of living in a democracy, but then they went on and on about how it was a NDP plant. They had to backtrack on that statement when they were proven wrong.

This election is going to be a little too close to call. Last election the NDP were ahead in the polls and the public panicked with all the fear based propaganda. That is something I would like to address. No political party is perfect. The NDP has it's strengths and weaknesses like any other. Yet this tax and spend fraud has to stop. The BC Liberal Party has been bad to the bone since Gordon Campbell. Christy Clark was a small step forward but the party did not change and she was quickly consumed in the greed and the poison kool aid.

Its not often BC political corruption makes the New York Times. Everyone says the NDP will tax and spend but their past history with BC Hydro tells a different story. When it comes to tax and spend, the BC Liberals are by far the greatest offenders in recorded history.

Spending obscene amounts of tax dollars on advertising follows the Stephen Harper model of pork barrel politics. Brian Mulroney was suposed to be right wing. He was suposed to be fiscally responsible. He was anything but. His tax and spend gluttony brought in the GST. Likewise, the BC Liberals have brought in a 10 cents a litre regional gas tax, a Translink that burns a billion dollars a year in taxes begging for more and a BC Hydro deferred debt that is off the charts.

I oppose pork barrel tax and spend politics. That is why I oppose the BC Liberals. We need to address BC Hydro's growing deferred debt. The only way to do that is by nationalizing the power brokers that sell power to BC Hydro at above market rates. While we are at it, nationalizing our oil would simply be good business for consumers and tax payers alike.

Postmedia's credibility cover up

I was going to bite my tongue and let this one slide but once again curiosity killed the cat. Lately the local newspapers have been running a full page ad over top the front page of the paper. The other day the Vancouver Province ran a full page ad before the papers front page which was a letter from the Editor in Chief of the Vancouver Sun and the Vancouver Province Harold Munro.

The letter was a declaration of how the Vancouver Province is committed to telling the truth and speaking out for the vulnerable while they champion the underdog and stand up to those in authority who can make it right. "That has always been our promise to you. We won't stop now."

The first question that came to my mind when I read that is what credibility meltdown did I miss that warranted such a bold declaration? Was it the Peter Leask cover up because in that case they broke everyone of their promises.

All of those past pledges described Wayne Moriarty but something changed when Harold Munro from the Vancouver Sun took over the Vancouver Province. The newspaper has become dare I say, corporate. Now I don't want to be a hater. My employer subscribes to the Vancouver Province and I want them to continue doing so. It's just that I find this full page ad promising to return to the values of yesteryear suspicious.

It reminds me of that quote from Shakespeare "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" which suggests that someone who is strongly denying something is hiding the truth.

The new Vancouver Province has cast aside Wayne Moriarty's voice of reason and is spamming the public with the pharmaceutical company's golden fraud of prescription heroin. Nothing could be more insane. If the new Vancouver Province is still committed to telling the truth and fighting for the underdog, why did they make Kim Bolan take down her blog post about Peter Leask? Nothing she said was untrue. Tim Petruk was rock solid. If they fire him then we know their pledge is fake. Let's hope they stand by it in the future.

Hamilton mobster shot dead outside his home

CBC is reporting that "Angelo Musitano, a member of Hamilton's notorious Musitano crime family, has been gunned down outside his suburban Hamilton home. Police say multiple shots were fired at Musitano as he pulled in to the driveway of his home in Waterdown late in the afternoon. He was in the vehicle when he was hit, said police. When emergency crews arrived he was already without vital signs. He was later pronounced dead in hospital. He was 39."

The Star dot com is reporting that Angelo Musitano is the brother of Pat Musitano. Together they were charged with first-degree murder in the 1997 contract killing of Hamilton mob boss Johnny Papalia. Angelo Musitano great-uncle fled Delianova, Italy, a village in Calabria and cam to Canada in 1937. The Calabrians in Hamilton were behind the war o the rizzutos in Montreal.

Undercover cop Bob Deasy became Pasquale (Fat Pat) Musitano's driver and wrote a book about his experiences takling organized crime in Ontaraio called Being Uncle Charlie: A Life Undercover with Killers, Kingpins, Bikers and Druglords. Bob Deasy's court case against claimed that Several Hamilton police officers have ties to organized crime and the Hells Angels. Manning also names a Toronto officer he alleges was selling guns to Toronto gang members.

Dirty ATF Agent kept his job

US Senator Chuck Grassy reported that ATF Agents linked to ‘Fast and Furious’ Still Employed despite Agency Recommendation. The ATF’s Professional Review Board recommended that Special Agent William Newell be terminated from federal service. This Pencil neck prick was the clown on the feild in charge of Operation Fast and Furious. He was the spin doctor sent in to rationalize the ATF's involvement in the CIA Operation that was selling guns to the Mexican cartel and bringing back tons of cocaine into the US as payment. After heads began to roll and scapegoats started to fall, Newell was *reassigned* to ATF Headquarters. (They gave the POS a promotion) Special Agent William Newell wins the Gangsters out Dirtbag of the Year award. Prick.

David Revell's deportation hearing

Dave Revell was a Hells Angels associate in Kelowna that was convicted of cocaine trafficking for David Giles. As I reported last February, after being charged in numerous domestic assaults he is now facing a deportation hearing because he is originally from the UK. Many other gang members from other countries have recently been deported and it would be hypocritical for the crown to deport them without deporting Dave Revell just because he's from the UK.

I understand that the BC Civil Liberties Union is opposing the crown's argument that the Canadian Charter of Rights does not apply to Dave Revell because he is not a Canadian citizen. I agree with their position on that. The intent of the Canadian Charter of Rights is that it should apply to all people not just Canadian citizens. However, I completely disagree with the BCCLU's opposition to the deportation because selling cocaine and beating women is not a charter right.

Steroids and grow ops don't concern me but stalking and assaulting women does. Davel Revell is a piece of garbage and no nonprofit organization with any credibility or integrity would support him.

The Cory Vallee murder trial

Kim Bolan has been giving some pretty extensive coverage of the Cory Vallee murder trial. There has been some interesting statements made by the police informant under cross examination.

First Kim reported that "An ex-United Nations gangster denied in B.C. Supreme Court Monday that he lied about a conversation in which he says accused killer Cory Vallee admitted a role in the murder of a rival. The man, who can only be identified as D, told Justice Janie Dillon earlier Monday that Vallee nodded and smiled after D made a cryptic reference to the fatal shooting of Kevin LeClair on Feb. 6, 2009."

"But defence lawyer Eric Gottardi suggested there is no way D would have broken the UN code to ask someone in the gang about a murder. At the time of the LeClair killing, you weren’t close enough in relationship to Cory Vallee where he would tell you his real name and yet you purport to tell this court that he was close enough that he would somehow indicate to you his involvement in the murder. Is that your evidence? D replied: Yes."

OK so let's back it up here. The informant didn't even know the accused's real name. The whole testimony relies on the claim that the informant made a cryptic reference to the fatal shooting of Kevin LeClair and the acused nodded and smiled according to the police informant that was paid $300,000.00 for his testimony. That's a pretty weak case.

No offense. Kevin was a good guy who had a bad friend. He didn't deserve to die. Yet the crown's case here is awfully vague. The crown claims As Vallee sipped his soup, D said: “I just looked at him and I said `Everything went OK? And then he just kind of looked up at me and nodded and gave a smile, yep, and he just went back to eating his soup.” I don't really see that as a confession to the murder.

Kim later reported that "A former United Nations gangster admitted in B.C. Supreme Court Tuesday that he lied to police for years when he was immersed in the criminal underworld.

"Gottardi pointed to instances in statements D had given to police even after he became a confidential informant in April 2009 where he had lied." Gottardi said D enjoyed manipulating police and saw his interaction with them as “a game.” He showed D a September 2009 statement in which D falsely claimed that he was not a member of the UN. “I take it you will agree with me that you have lied to the police many, many times?” Gottardi asked. Replied D: “Yes, I have over the course of my life lied to the police many, many times.”

Next "Gottardi pointed D to copies of encrypted emails he wrote to his UN pal Amir Eghtesad about a plan to rob a UN associate known as Duke. In the emails, D told Eghtesad that he was going to befriend Duke to make it easier to target him for robbery. This wasn't a rival this was an associate he was planning to rob. So the defense has established three things. First the informant is a dirt bag who planned on robbing an associate. Second that the informant is a liar who has admitted to lying to the police many many times. Third, the whole confession was so vague it really has no merit. On top of that his conclusion is the real kicker.

Lastly Kim Bolan reported that "An ex-United Nations gangster paid $300,000 to testify against his former brothers said Thursday that if he could go back in time, he would never have cooperated with police."

After the defense lawyer claimed the informant was really just in court for the money the informant replied: “And I will say sir that I would happily, if possible, pay back multiple times the money I was paid if I could go back in time and change my mind and not do this. Because I wholeheartedly 100 per cent regret it and would not recommend it to anybody.”

Well, well, well, kinda like we've said all along. If you want to leave the life just leave. Don't become a police informant. It just isn't worth it. Although Kevin was a nice guy, the court was told that he used to sell drugs for the UN but crossed over with the Swine flu when they broke off and were supplied by the Hells Angels. He was a nice guy who sold drugs and betrayed his crew for the red and white. Where's the L&R in that? It's all about the money.

Most overdoses on Welfare wednesday ever recorded

Global is reporting that "The B.C. opioid crisis has reached a new level, with authorities confirming Wednesday was the worst day on record for overdoses in the province. B.C. Emergency Health Services says April 26 - or this month’s “Welfare Wednesday” - had more overdose calls in a single day than ever recorded. There were 130 calls for overdose responses in total, nine more than the previous record date of Nov. 20, 2016."

This is in exact contradiction to previous reports the spin doctors were spamming the media with claiming that drug overdoses no longer spike on Welfare wednesday. The only reason it didn't spike in Surrey is because they started staggering the cheques so not everyone gt their checks on the same day. They are still using their welfare cheques to buy drugs.

Recently Surrey Crime reported that as soon as someone cashed their welfare cheque in Surrey they overdosed on fentanyl. Addicts are lining up to buy tainted drugs with their welfare cheques. We are giving the addicts money to buy drugs and are watching the predatory drug dealers selling them tainted drugs which is literally killing them without raising a finger to arrest the drug dealers for selling tainted drugs. That is not social justice. It is insane, illegal and immoral.

Update: CTV is reporting that "BC Emergency Health Services says it responded to 109 suspected overdoses around B.C. on Thursday, with 71 of those calls coming from the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser health districts, within Metro Vancouver. Preet Grewal says the service answered 130 suspected overdose calls that day, adding it was too early to tell how many may have been linked to powerful opioids such as fentanyl. She says the spike coincided with the monthly release of social assistance cheques, and the service is prepared for a challenging weekend." The spike in overdoses is directly related to when the adicts receive their government assistance cheques. People need food and homes not drugs especially tainted drugs.
