Bikers and Nazi's

I never really clued in to the association of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs and Nazi enthusiasts. The general public pretty much views anyone who displays a swastika as an extremist and a drama queen looking for attention. Young kids trying to go for the shock value. Wayne Kellestine liked Nazi symbols and confederate flags. He even danced a jig and sang the German anthem when he murdered the Shedden Eight.

Mom Boucher and Salvatore Cazzetta formed their own white supremest biker gang called the SS. Mom Boucher went on to join the Hells Angels while Salvatore Cazzettan went on to form the Rock Machine. The SS were Hitler's Storm troopers that were symbolically represented in George Lucas's Star Wars saga.



I'm kind of surprised at the Rock Machine's affinity for Nazism and the SS. On their facebook group they posted a picture of someone wearing Rock Machine colours with a SS license plate. The SS symbol isn't nearly as notorious as the swastika but it clearly represents the same thing. In fact a gumbie on the Rock Machine facebook group even used a profile picture of him wearing one of those girlie Halloween masks and a baseball cap with the SS logo on it.

Hitler invaded France. It's hard for me to understand how anyone especially anyone of French heritage would wear the symbol of the country that invaded them. It's rather bizarre.

Don't get me wrong. Germans are wonderful people. Their history and culture is much more than Adolf Hitler. Yet Hitler conned the Germans. At the time, no one really knew for sure what was happening to the Jews. First it was segregation. Then they started disappearing not to be heard from. People began to wonder but by then it was too late. What could they do? The gestapo were ruthless.

The point is, we can't blame all Germans for Hitler. Yet anyone who wears a swastika or an SS symbol now, have no excuse. They are knowingly perpetuating racism and intolerance. That is what we fought to oppose. Wearing those symbols now mocks the sacrifices our forefathers made on our behalf.

Yet the Hells Angels have even taken it one step further. They used to use the SS lightening bolt symbol on their Filthy Few patch. Until they replaced it with a skull with devil horns and the number 666. I kid you not. Grown men bragging about the number 666. Now that is really dumb. I really don't think that's something an Irish Catholic or a French Catholic would do.

Even more bizarre is the Hells Angels association with Nazi symbols and white supremacists on one hand and their exploitation of Greg Wooley on the other. They never did let Greg join the Hells Angels but they did let him join the Rock Machine so he could lead a Hells Angels puppet club called the Syndicate and the Crack Down Posse who supplied the Montreal crips with cocaine. So here we have white supremacists, exploiting someone of African ancestry and poisoning the black community in Montreal and getting rich off it. No wonder the other Haitian brothers were upset with them.

Small man syndrome

The Vancouver riots were very disappointing. Small losers empowered by the mob thirsting for their five minutes of fame. Yet times are changing and mob rule just isn't cool any more. People are ratting out their friends and making fun of them for being jerks which is a good sign.

Take Stephane Gillet. From the outside he looks like a really nice guy. You'd never know that by looking at his criminal history. He has this huge chip on his shoulder. He wants people to think he's deranged so he commits deranged acts of drug related violence. Even against women and children. Oh his fan denies that but even the French version of the article admitted he kidnapped a woman and children at gun point. The English paper just got that event mixed up with one of the many other violent acts in his criminal history.

Ya see he doesn't want you to think he's a nice guy so he overcompensates by doing bizarre acts of violence and the new leadership of the Rock Machine is goating him on. What a shame. There's nothing noble in a drug war. No one wants to bring that back. No one in Quebec or Vancouver. The public won't stand for it any more.

Even the Australian Waffler from the Rock Machine down under can't change the fact that the Rock Machine in Australia can't get along with anyone. They can't even get along with the Rebels. They can't get along with the Hells Angels. They broke off from the Bandidios after the Bandidio massacre in Ontario. They even kicked out their new National President and totally trash him who has since joined Vagos so they've burned that bridge too. So who can they get along with? Only the trained monkeys who kiss their ass and groom their frail ego. That is sad, very sad.

Drug wars are not noble. They are just about money and greed not honour or brotherhood. They betray their own for the almighty dollar. The good news is that people can see through them and don't think that kind of off the hook violence is cool so they are using social media to report them to the police. Welcome to the new world.

Making money from misery in Surrey

The Surrey Now ran a bizarre full page article about rogue recovery houses that prey on the addicted in Surrey. I know the Front Room is basically a drug house but that's a shelter not a recovery house. It is unwise to put a homeless shelter beside a needle exchange then give them in and out privileges all night. They don't even get in and out privileges at the Dell. As a result the Front Room is just a Provincially funded drug house where the staff are regularily abused. The Front room shelter and the needle exchange share the same civic address: 10667 135A Street, Surrey.

The recovery house scams are shocking. "There's good money in recovery houses; 10 clients will gross the operator nearly $6,000 a month and those who exploit their clients by providing substandard accommodation and meals can realize a tidy profit."

Corey is a 22-year-old recovering crack addict who lives in one of Robinson's recovery houses. He's been wrestling with substance abuse of one kind or another since he was seven. He spent four weeks in a recovery house run by an organization that has at least five houses in Surrey.

"They got $560 a month from me and it was pretty much just a meal a day and a bed to sleep in. I wasn't put on any restrictions and I was allowed to keep my phone," Corey said. He said within the first week of his residence there, he and the house monitor - the person in charge of the place - were on their way to a recovery meeting.

"While we were out, the monitor bought some crack. Both of us were using crack. After a while, I figured there wasn't much point being there."

Steve Burke and Charlie Morton both live in Whalley and both have bad recovery houses in their area. They claim the majority of recovery houses have more residents than the rules allow, are poorly managed, and are nothing more than money-making enterprises that take advantage of people who have fallen on bad times.

"We have more compassion for a dying seal on a beach than we have for human beings in our city. It's not right. I think the province is misappropriating our tax money, supposedly to help these people, and they're not doing anything."

Burke agreed. He said profit is the prime motive for most recovery house operators. "You can't make a profit with just six people in that house. You've got to have more people there - a lot more."

City hall can only regulate zoning and land use; it has no direct control over the recovery process itself. Nobody knows for sure just how many drug and alcohol recovery houses are operating in Surrey. Some estimates run as high as 200, but Surrey's mayor thinks the actual number is smaller.

"From what I understand, there are about 130 here in our city," Mayor Dianne Watts told the Now. However many there are, the vast majority of the recovery houses in Surrey - about 90 per cent of them - are not subject to provincial regulation and inspection and that's a problem. It's a problem for the city, for police, but most of all, it's a problem for their residents, addicts trying to get clean and sober.

The situation dates from December 2001 when the government of former premier Gordon Campbell changed the rules governing recovery houses. The Liberals amended the Community Care Facility Act to create a new class of facility called supportive recovery residences that are not required to have a provincial licence to operate.

In order to qualify as a supportive recovery residence, operators are required to provide "a safe and drug-free environment" for recovering addicts, but cannot "provide most or all of the services" required of licenced houses. The changes essentially created a class of boarding house for those addicted to alcohol and drugs.

In many cases, what it created was a network of flophouses where people trying to overcome addiction are exploited by unscrupulous operators who take clients' welfare cheques, but deliver little in the way of support or supervision.

The Morning After

"When evil men and women burn and bomb, good men and women must build and bind." Martin Luther King. Turns out the morning after the riot the volunteers are coming out to help clean up the mess and board up the broken windows. Three cheers. All the volunteers at the Olympics made that event a huge success.

Vancouver riot clean up brings locals and non-locals together. Facebook group aims to id rioters. "Prosecute the thugs." Vancouver Police Want Your Riot Video and Photos. Report them.

Anarchists on Crack

Handing out free crack pipes in east van isn't good enough for them. Now these fruit loop anarchists have to go and destroy a hockey game for a good city. Smash the Anarchists who steal from us. Report them and incarcerate them.

In Belfast the black flag didn't represent anarchy. It represented an objection to a social injustice. They would line the streets with black flags during an IRA funeral. They would wave a black flag when the Orange men would hold their parades of intolerance through Catholic areas of Belfast. Now the Anarchists want to crush social peace. These anarchists are the social injustice. Crush them.

The Stanley Cup Loss

Yes losing the Stanley cup in game seven was a disappointment. Even though that loss was completely overshadowed by the shameful after game riots, something should be said about the game.

Hat's off to Tim Thomas. He was a consistent champion. After getting our asses kicked so badly in Boston we hardly deserved to win the cup. Even though it was a long time waiting.

Historically, Vancouver has never really had a great hockey team. That's what made this year so special. Dealing with loss respectfully is an attribute of a die hard Canuck fan. It's irritating to see band waggon jumpers, jump onto the band waggon at the last minute when things are going well, then be the first to jump off the band waggon as soon as things go wrong.

Being a true Canuck fan means supporting your team in victory and in defeat. The Grizzles rarely won a game but we loved having them because we all wanted to see the big names from the NBA visit. Let's face it, we suck at basketball. In fact we suck at baseball and soccer too but who cares about baseball. That ranks right up there with curling and golf. OK Tiger Woods made golf interesting but without Tiger golf is pretty boring. Soccer is interesting so we still support the Whitecaps even though we never make the World Cup.

Hockey is the only thing Canada is good at. Well certainly not the only thing but the only professional sport. Yet the violence on and off the ice needs to stop. It is just a game. The on the ice violence in hockey is becoming like the WWF. Wrestlers have to keep outdoing themselves with more and more dangerous stunts until someone really gets hurt. That's not what it all about. Defending yourself is one thing but being a bully is another.

So I'm not going to burn my Canucks jersey. I'm going to still wear it with pride even though a whole bunch of lawless losers have stained it. My response it to find pictures of people committing unlawful acts of violence that night and identify and report them to the police. After all, this is our city and no huckleberry hillbilly is going to destroy it. Not if we have anything to say about it.

Lawless Losers

Well something needs to be said. The vast majority of Vancovuerites were outraged and ashamed of the childish idiots who seized the opportunity of the mob and rioted in Vancouver last night. That's the good news. Although it was more than a few troublemakers, the vast majority of the people from here were outraged.

As a result we saw a change in the response by the public. The public were not cheering on the idiots who turned over cars, set them on fire and vandalized stores. The vast majority were taking their pictures and reporting them to the police. This is a good trend.

One person on facebook bragged about all the things they did that night on their facebook status. One of that person's disgusted friends took a screen clip of that childish boast and posted it on a wall for the police to see. This is the social change we need to embrace to prevent being held hostage by a mob of lawless losers. Report them to the police.

When they burn a car or vandalize a store they are stealing from us. They're not just stealing from the owner of the car they set on fire. That hillbilly act raises insurance rates for all of us so in so doing they are stealing from all of us and as a result we as a people need to report that crime not hide it.

When these hillbillies break into a store or a bank and vandalize and loot it, they are stealing from all of us because the price of goods is raised to offset that loss. When they riot and vandalize things the increase policing costs us tax dollars so all that huckleberry hillbilly conduct costs us money. Do you think we are going to protect you now? Not likely. If you have pictures of people committing unlawful acts that night, submit them to the police. If you can identify anyone who was seen committing unlawful acts after the game last night, report them. That is your duty. The rats are the ones who were running around stealing from us. Only rats steal.

I will add that the vast majority of the idiots we saw causing problems last night were white trash. That is nothing to brag about. There were similar problems during the G-8 insanity in Toronto. A lot of people had a legitimate right to voice their concern and object to the extravagant waste of money on Harper's fake lake and fake promise of fiscal responsibility.

Yet the first day of the G-8 in Toronto saw many hillbillies from out of town come in and start rioting and looting. Like kids in a candy store they get all excited about the power trip from a mob and revel in their five minutes of fame compensating for their small man syndrome. We saw one real man on youtube do the right thing.

Yet the next day the police overcompensated and started beating random people who had signs instead of targeting the people they saw committing acts of vandalism. It's really not brain surgery. If you see someone throwing a rock in a store window or setting a car on fire, then you can give that person the boots and arrest him. You don't kick the cat and rob our precious civil liberties by giving random people the boots for exercising their democratic right to free speech.

In London England, they use to have a problem with football hooligans. Thugs who would exploit the mob and cause trouble. In response the police would stand shoulder to shoulder and confine the trouble makers to an area. Then they would send in the Calvary. Police on horseback that would charge in and beat the shit out of the violent thugs with truncheons. That's what I'm talking about. If you see them committing violent unlawful acts, deal with it.

There's nothing worse then seeing a line of riot police getting taunted by a handful of idiots embowered by the mob who throw things at them. When the police see a handful of idiots step away from the crowd to assault the police, that is when the line of riot police pick up their shield and baton and charge forward, past the handful of violent stragglers then reform a new line holding off the mob with the violent stragglers caught behind their line. That's when the police on their side beat the living shit out of the violent stragglers now caught behind their new line. That is Sparta.

When the police are caught on video beating an innocent person like Rodney King, the public are outraged. Yet people are equally outraged when idiots loot, vandalize and set cars on fire. If the public sees a violent idiot commit unlawful acts during the riot, then they see the police attack him with a truncheon, then the public cheer. It really is that simple. If you see him committing a violent crime, take him down. If he is standing there with a sign claiming his charter right, leave him alone.

Several months ago I spoke with someone visiting here from Chicago. He talked about the Chicago riots. He said he lived in the suburbs at the time and they were worried the riots would come out to the suburbs and damage their homes and property. He said they all had guns and took to the street and said if you bring that violence here, we will shoot you dead. We can argue about gun control until the cows come home. Those neighbours bringing out their long guns and standing shoulder to shoulder against the mob during the Chicago riots contained them and prevented the riots from spreading like a wild fire into the suburbs. All I know is if that kind of violence comes into my neighbourhood, my neighbours and I are not going to stand by and watch.

RCMP and Sheriff Cut Backs

Sheriff cut backs have resulted in trial delays and adjournments. "Just days after Attorney General Barry Penner claimed there was no money to pay for more sheriffs for B.C. courts, several cases were adjourned in both Surrey and Vancouver Provincial Courts Monday because of staff shortages."

As one poster pointed out, this is the same time the RCMP are spending more money on advertising to promote their "brand." That sounds so corporate. Cut down on services and spend more money on advertising. Sounds familiar.

The California prisons are in complete turmoil. As a result of the three to a bunk over crowding the courts there ordered them to release one quarter of their prisoners. Only they can't remember who's in for what and aren't releasing the nonviolent offenders first they're accidental releasing violent offenders into the public.

So if our prisons are over crowded and if we are cutting down the services provided by the RCMP, how can we afford to send more people to jail for nonviolent crimes like possession of pot without raising taxes? If we spend that money on sending nonviolent criminals to jail, how can we possibly afford to imprison violent offenders and people who traffic hard drugs like crack or meth?

It really looks like the Harper government has it's priorities somewhat confused. Since the Harper government got elected on a tough on crime promise and since they bungled the anti crime bills and instead introduce an unpatriotic act that removes civil liberties while they cut funding for the RCMP, the Sheriffs and the Gang Task Forces, does that mean we can sue them for breach of contract? Didn't Jack Layton say he'd spend more money on more police? Isn't that ironic.

Hookers and Blow

One of the young kids at work said his father told him when he was young that if he ever wanted a stripper to have sex with him, offer her blow. He was like gee thanks for that tip Dad. I can't remember how old he was at the time but he said he was under 16 when his father shared that with him.

He didn't tell me out of pride bragging about how cool his father was. He told me out of shame out of how embarrassed he was of his father. So what does that mean, his father is going to cheat on his mother with hookers and blow? All of a sudden that changes the perspective. Kinda like when your daughter comes of age. It changes how you see girls your daughters age. At least it should.

One of the common elements I see with these OMGs as they try to recruit on the Internet is how they love to post pictures of themselves with strippers. You're cool alright. About as cool as a pedophile. When are these old farts ever going to grow up? Who can afford cocaine now a days anyways? If you're not a doctor, lawyer or Corporate lobbyist the only way you can afford cocaine is if you sell drugs and if you're selling drugs just so you can use drugs, what's the point? The rest of us are struggling with paying for braces and college.

Somebody said Stocky from the Haney chapter had a stroke and died. I have no idea if that's true but if it is, my condolences. Initially I thought Stocky was one of the few that didn't have to use the date rape drug his chapter associates sold because he was well built. Although he did have a reputation for liking to party and for being a fan of hookers and blow. Perhaps that's what caused the stroke.

Yet I did find one of the details about one of his arrestes somewhat disturbing. I mean his assault charge not when he was arrested with a kilo of cocaine, 30 pounds of marijuana and a gun. He was charged with assaulting a police officer. It was the events that led up to the assault that were disturbing.

Vincenzo Brienza was charged after his Jeep was stopped by police responding to a 911 call reporting that three men and a sex trade worker were in a Jeep-like vehicle and the vehicle was rocking on April 14, 2005.

When officers tried to search the vehicle, Brienza and another passenger struggled with them. Brienza, who was sprayed with pepper spray and struck several times with a baton, was convicted of punching a sergeant in the face.

My question is, what was Stocky doing rocking a jeep with a hooker and three other guys in the car? Three other guys? Now that is weird. Rape is heinous but gang rape is deranged. So is sharing a hooker with three other guys.

Haney chapter were the ones that attended parties at Piggy's palace. Stocky's brother Romano Brienza was the former president of the Regulators. That was Juel Stanton's crew. Are we beginning to see the connection?

Stocky's brother Romano passed away on May 1, 2005 at the age of 38 years. He was acquitted of cocaine charges from a 2001 arrest.

Bandidos in the drug war

The Bandidios was founded in 1966 by Don Chambers in Texas. In 1972 Don Chambers, Jesse "Deal" Fain and Ray Vincente abducted two drug dealers in El Paso, Texas. The dealers, Marley Leon and Preston LeRay Tarver, had sold baking soda to the Bandidos, claiming it was methamphetamine.

The Bandidos drove the two dealers into the desert north of the city. There, the dealers, were forced to dig their own graves, after which the bikers shot them with shotguns and set fire to their bodies. Chambers, Deal and Vincente were all convicted of these murders; with testimony given by an eyewitness to the event. They all received life sentences.

They didn't murder the drug dealers for selling drugs. They murdered them for selling them fake drugs. The historic origin of the Motorcycle Club involved drug trafficking. Don Chambers, having served in Vietnam as a Marine, modeled the club's colors after the scarlet and gold motif of the United States Marine Corps. After Chambers' presidency ended due to his conviction for murder in El Paso, Texas, Ronnie Hodge was elevated to president.

Kind of a strange logo. A fat Mexican was slang for a big fattie or a large joint. It didn't really represent a fat Mexican. Their logo does look like it could use some time on the stair master. Yet the original connection to the US Marines in Vietnam and drug trafficking is interesting.

Bandido is Spanish for bandit as in thief. The motto I'm going to rob you is somewhat less than noble. Yet the betrayal involved with the Bandidio massacre in Ontario rivals the Hells Angels Lennoxville massacre and the Death Riders take over.

Selling crack has nothing to do with the real MC movement.

Wrong MC OMG

The Fugees sang a song that said Too many MC's not enough Mic's. Indeed there is. MC also refers to Motorcycle club as opposed to OMG which means Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. Unless your a teenager on the Internet where OMG would mean oh my god as in wtf.

I have no problem with MCs as in Motorcycle clubs. I have a problem with the Hells Angels claiming ownership of the term and claiming no one else is *allowed* to use the term MC without their permission. That is absolute bullsh*t.

I have a problem with people using the term MC or OMG to sell drugs. That was not the intent of the MC movement. Now we have all these groups fighting each other for the right to sell drugs. It's all about greed and nothing to do with riding motorcycles.

I admire the Rock Machine for standing up to the Hells Angels but I don't support selling hard drugs. The Hells Angels taking over all the grow ops and saying that no one is allowed to sell pot but them is bizarre. Yet so is fighting the Hells Angels just for the right to sell crack. If everyone stopped selling crack and everyone just minded their own business and sold pot to whoever would buy from them, there would be no need for all the drug related violence. The violence is from greed. Yet your still unhappy with your riches because you're piss poor morally. Just ask TI.

I have a problem with people like the Hells Angels or the Bandidos from Texas who use the term brotherhood when they have no idea what that term means. Murdering a brother is being a rat. I have a problem with them using the term L&R when they have no idea what that means. There is no respect in torturing crack addicts and there is no love when you mutilate and murder a brother for $400.00. There's no love when his grow op gets busted and you charge him double and threaten to kill him if he doesn't pay up right away. There's no love when you murder his girlfriends mother and burn down her house. That is f*cked up and so is anyone who does that kind of sh*t.

Everybody wants to be a freakin cowboy when all they are is just another bitch. Tupac talked about the Ghetto gospel. Have you ever had rice and peas? Black eyed peas cooked in the rice with some curry mutton and a pint of Guinness. Now that's what I'm talking about. Diversity. All this white supremacy Nazi bullsh*t is totally f*cked up. That is what we fought in the trenches on foreign soil to oppose. We're certainly not going to embrace it here.

This isn't the ghetto. This is the toilet but it doesn't have to be. Eventually we will take out the trash. We have to get out of the fish bowl and realize other places are not like here. Why do we catch onto fads 20 years after they're out of style? We gotta start making changes. We need to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. We need to get up and stand up. Until then I'll C U When U Get There. I'll see you on the other side.

Paul Sasquatch Porter

Paul Sasquatch Porter's involvement with drugs and theft is suspicious. Paul leads the Ontario Nomads. As we know the Hells Angels in Ontario have been almost exclusively involved in the drug trade. Hells Angels Niagara under Gerald Ward were nothing but old men on Viagra who dealt drugs. Oshawa had their clubhouse seized.

The Ontario Nomads are based in Ottawa. They were investigated for being involved in a multi mullion dollar armoured car heist in 2005. Nick Neros from Niagara was charged in a armored car robbery in 2003. and received a seven year sentence. Nicola Nero of Niagara Falls then received a nine year sentence for selling cocaine to a police informant while on bail for stealing the $2.7 million from an armored car in 2003.

In 2004, police arrested Paul Sasquatch Porter and claimed he was the leader of a Hells Angels car theft ring that operated in Ontario and Quebec.

Hussein El-Hajj Hassan was an Ottawa cocaine dealer who was murdered for trying to cut out the middle man and deal with his supplier directly. He was supposed to meet Paul "Sasquatch" Porter the night he was killed but Porter claims that meeting never happened and that he didn't recognize Hassan's photo in court.

Mr. Esrabian previously testified that Eli had had 1,500 marijuana plants stolen from his farm by someone "powerful in Ottawa," and after learning of the theft, Eli wanted his marijuana plants back. The Crown asked Mr. Esrabian whether Mr. Porter is the "powerful" person, and Mr. Esrabian refused to answer.

It kinda makes you wonder if he was really trying to cut out the middle man or if he had simply been the victim of a grow rip and was making too much noise about getting his plants back from the powerful person in Ottawa.

The Jones Brothers

Getting back to the Surrey cross border drug ring bust, let's take a peek at the Jones brothers. That would be Jones not Jonas. One source claims the person in the picture on the left is Trevor Jones. Same last name. The Logo on his shirt says Dank which is a hemp energy drink. In fact Trever Jones is listed as the owner of the domain www.dankenergydrinks.com - "Get a buzz without the Fuzz." Gee, I didn't think you got a buz from hemp. Maybe they're putting something else in it.



Interesting to note that despite the fact that Trever is listed as the owner of that domain, his contact e-mail is randy81@shaw.ca Randy as we know is Trever's brother's name and 81 is the number used to represent the Hells Angels.

Randy used the e-mail tbarz81@hotmail.com to register the tbarz domain name before I went public with that info. It all sounds so conflicted. Who would put a strip bar in their mother's name?

War on Drugs

Last week the Vancouver Province printed an editorial about how the war on drugs has been a failure so we should give up. Right after an election that saw the Harper government get a majority. They also published a second editorial by Jon Ferry which made much more sense.

Sure enough, the next day they publish a letter from a guy who calls for the legalization of all drugs which would be insanity at best. Turns out that single author has had over 500 letters published calling for the legalization of all drugs. That's kind of disproportionate.

I wrote in and said we should draw the line at pot. Decriminalize pot is fine but legalizing crack or crystal meth is irresponsible. Someone else wrote in stating the claim that the war on drugs has been a total failure is puzzling and an insult to Singapore and Sweden. Two successful models where it has worked.

We all talk about the New York model. That model succeeded through enforcement which is one of the four pillars the drug dealing activists ignore. They just keep screaming harm reduction over and over again until we become complete enablers for the drug war. Oh but wait, we already are.

The war on drugs hasn't been a failure, the emphasis on harm reduction has. The New York model means arrest the drug dealers not the drug addicts. I support that model.

Witness testifies in Greeks trial

The Vancouver Province reports on a witness who recently testified at the Vernon Greeks trial in Vancouver. The level of violence is disturbing. Prosecutors say David Marnuik was beaten, tortured and then set on fire by the gang in July 2004. His body has never been found.

The witness claims Big Al said "You should see this f---ing guy. This is Internet stuff. Nine of them have been working on him for three days." This kind of violence is disturbing. I applaud the witnesses for having the courage to speak up. There is no L&R there. People don't respect that kind of violence, they fear it. There's a big difference.

The witness claims they would beat their own guys. How on earth do they think they are going to get people to love and respect them by beating their own people? If you treat your own people like garbage that is proof there is no love or respect.

We can sluff the murder off by saying he deserved it because he stole from the Hells Angels, or rather a Hells Angels affiliate group, but did he really? Isn't that excuse over used? They kill people who they claim are thieves or rats and no one gives it a second thought. Yet Geoff Meisner was not a thief and Britney Irving was not a rat. Often they lie. Usually that violence is used against rival drug dealers or people who have drug debts. In Geoff's case it could have been as simple as wanting to replace him on the Vegas money laundering run with someone who would do the same job for less money. Once they rip you off you become a liability so they do you in. No L&R there.

Leo Gallant

Well it turns out that Leo Gallant isn't just a country music singer who likes to play softball. Turns out Leo Gallant is also a convicted cocaine dealer. Perhaps Leo Gallant is to the Anarchy Bikers what Richard Goldammer is to the Kingpin Crew.



What I want to know is who are the other guys on his secret softball team? Leo looks like a country music singer. Not that there's anything wrong with that. He's actually quite good. Maybe it's more R&B. Anyways, in the second photo when Leo is holding the baseball bat, he looks like he's going to play baseball. But that other guy on the far left with the telescoping baton. He looks like he's gonna break your knee and crack open your skull. That skinny guy from Quebec, he looks like a firearms technician that specializes in explosives.

These other guys in the photo with Leo look like bad ass mother f*ckers. One source claims that when their secret softball team play softball, people disappear. So they say. I'd like to get some names and stats for these guys. Actually these guys I rather not f*ck with at all but there has been some interesting allegations that involve them which would be worth investigating further. If ya know what I mean.

Tannant strikes again

Looks like our friendly dweeb Tannant from the Anarchy bikers finally hooked up with Stephen Harper himself sporting his new play offs beard. Well it looks like Stephen Harper. They both have the same hillbilly thumbs up sign. Some how I think they'll need more than that to take on the Tingley's. Maybe it was just another add for the HST.



Then again, it kinda looks like Leo Gallant. Maybe Leo was just trying to get Tannant to play in his hillbilly country rock music band. Leo is great at the guitar. I hear Tannant sings like a girl.



Then again, they're probably just recruiting for their softball team in Campbellton, New Brunswick. That must be it. The Anarchy bikers are just a softball team.

Canucks get their ass kicked

Obviously the Canucks are still in this. Obviously it would be better to win the cup on home ice and obviously we completely got our ass kicked tonight. Sure a win by one goal in overtime is equal to a win by seven goals of regulation time but this slice of humble pie showed Boston's greatness.

Luongo had a bad night. It can happen to anyone. He's still our man. Give respect where respect is due. Tim Thomas was on fire. He had a good night. Tomorrow is another day. Win or lose, I think it's important to keep things in perspective. When a lot of people are gathered together in one spot all it takes is a few low life losers to turn things sour in the after game celebrations.

Rioting over a hockey game is really stupid. Vandalizing and looting has nothing to do with hockey. It's just a few dirt bags seizing the opportunity of an angry crowd. We can still shine in defeat as well as in victory. The funny video about the Bruin fan in Vancouver was right. Vancouver is a beautiful city. There is no need to trash that beauty by letting a few scum bags riot.

I do think we'll win the cup but I do realize it's far from over and it could easily go either way. Canada won the gold in the hockey at the Olympics because they won the key games which were close. They did have some setbacks along the way. Even if we win the series and take the cup I think it's important to acknowledge that in game 3 Boston kicked our ass. Yet even with this defeat, it's far from over.

Let's hope Nathan Horton is OK. No one like to see those kinds of injuries in a hockey game. What does this have to do with organized crime? Absolutely nothing. But let's face it, the Canucks in the Stanley cup playoff finals overshadows everything.

Burnaby Weapons Seized

It's hard to keep up with all the weapons seized involved in all the drug related violence in Vancouver but this last one has two interesting points to note. First, for some strange reason the police didn't release the name of the accused. That is odd. Second is one of the firearms found and seized. It was a Uzi with a long silencer. Just like the one found dumped in the Fraser river back in 2009 which the police say was involved in some Vancouver gang related shootings.



We've all heard of the Saturday night Special. Well the Uzi with a long silencer is fast becoming the Vancouver special edition. The Uzi is amazingly fast yet horribly inaccurate due to the short barrel. Adding the long silencer and all of a sudden you lengthen the barrel and improve the trajectory.

As I said before, there was a funny scene in the movie Grand Torino. Two groups of gang bangers in cars were talking shit to each other. One group pulled out a gun as if to say back off and stfu. The other group then pulled out an Uzi and shouted back how many bullets you got? Funny in a movie but no so funny in real life.

I'm really curious why the police didn't release the name of the person who was in possession of those firearms. Come on, which grow ops aren't run by the Hells Angels? We know Uncle Joe from Kelowna was caught in Salmon Arm with a cache load of weapons and a few associates. Shortly thereafter the police seized some cocaine in Salmon arm and found an abandoned grow op there. We know Randy Potts was found with six guns, four silencers and four grenades.

There was a "major" drug ring in Kamloops recently busted with connections to Surrey where a grenade was found in a baby's room. A major drug ring in Kamloops connected to Surrey which was the hub of the Jones brother's operation. How could that not be connected to the Hells Angels as well?

HST Advertising

Every day we see a full page or a half page add advertising for the HST in the newspaper. It's pretty obvious that if the government is spending that much money on advertising they want us to vote yes for it. It's pretty obvious the reason they want it is because in the long run it will increase taxes. The government doesn't have to spend money on advertising trying to convince us to lower taxes.

Due to the overwhelming opposition to the tax, the Liberal government has proposed a temporary reduction in the combined tax to encourage the public to vote in favour of the tax. 10 % of something that wasn't previously taxed is still a raise in taxes. There will be absolutely nothing stopping them from raising the percentage of the HST once the public has approved it.

The Tyee reports that the BC liberals have committed another $5 million to the HST add campaign. A left wing newspaper opposing government waste and raising taxes. Imagine that. Kevin Falcon said the adds will be neutral but they aren't. They are clearly slanted. The point is the government shouldn't be spending tax dollars on advertising telling us how to vote. Instead they should be listening to the voters on how to spend their tax dollars.

Fight the HST

Vote no to the HST

Bandido Massacre

I find the Bandido massacre somewhat significant. We were all told the Bandidio massacre was because the Winnipeg Bandidos felt cheated by the Ontario Bandidos and wanted to take them over. Yet there might be more to the story than that.

The outlaw bikers gone missing and presumed dead were originally members of The Loners, a gang scattered across southern Ontario. Half of their members patched over to the Hells Angels in late 2000, which was part of a mass defection across Ontario led by a Ottawa-based Hells Angel Paul "Sasquatch" Porter. Billy Miller, who was once part of the Loners with Kellestine, went on to become president of the London Hells Angels.

But half the gang didn't want to join Hells Angels, one of the largest crime corporations in the world. Instead, they were courted over four months by a prominent U.S. Bandido to join his club. After a lot of visits, the patch over to the Bandidos was hatched in a Toronto coffee shop. Surely it wasn't the same coffee shop Toronto Hells Angel Paris Christoforou teamed up with Peter Scarcella and did the botched hit that paralyzed an innocent bystander.

Right after the Bandido massacre, the Toronto Hells Angels denied responsibility. "The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club, or any of its members, are not involved in this crime in any way shape or form. Newspaper reports and speculation to the contrary, will be proved completely wrong, in the coming days," Hells Angels Toronto told the Citizen last night.

They sure had a lot of inside information about the murder claiming that information would come forward in the coming days which would prove the Hells Angels were not involved. To me that statement sounds incredibly suspicious. How did they know information was coming forward in the near future that would apparently vindicate them? Was someone already set up to take the fall?



I mean like why would Wayne Kellestine join the Bandidos? He was a white supremacist who proudly displayed Nazi emblems on his farm. The Bandidos were open to Hispanics. Hence the Hells Angels skull remark about no tacos.

Kellestine danced a jig several times during the slaughter while singing the Nazi national anthem, "Deutschland über alles." Kellestine told a Jewish biker he would be killed last so he would suffer the most.

David Weiche was described as Wayne Kellestine's right hand man. David's father was also a white supremacist who ran for the Nazi party of Canada and had two kkk cross burning ceremonies on his farm. David moved to Winnipeg three months before the massacre. Three of the six accused involved in the massacre were from Winnipeg which is a huge Hells Angels strong hold. Berlin Bandidios merged with the Hells Angels.

Michael Sandham, was a former police officer and full patch member of the Bandidos who was believed to be the leader of the Winnipeg chapter. So why would two white supremacists join the Bandidios if they were a racially mixed MC?



I mean let's face it. The Bandidios that were murdered were part of the "No Surrender Crew." As in they refused to give in and bend over for the Hells Angels. "IF" their murder was part of an internal cleansing does that mean the Bandidios have caved in like they did in Berlin? Or was it an infiltration and set up from white supremacists who were aligned with the Hells Angels all along?

Either way the Bandidio massacre was a huge betrayal of brotherhood that rivals the Lennoxville massacre and the Death Riders take over. The order may have come from Texas but the Hells Angels benefited from it and appeared to have fore knowledge of it.

Burrows Magic

How about Burrows overtime goal against Boston? That was magic. Like the commentator said, I don't know about game one but in game two Burrows sure took a bite out of Boston. They were all complaining and claimed that Burrows bit a guys finger in game one. In the photo it just looked like they were pushing and the Bruin stuck his open hand in burrows face and crammed his finger in Burrows mouth. It sure didn't look like he pulled a Mike Tyson and intentionally bit the guy. Moral of the story: Don't stick your hand in his face.

Second man charged in 2008 Mission double murder

Justin Andrew MacKinnon, 26, was charged Thursday with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of Guthrie McKay and Lisa Dudley. Last month Jack Douglas Woodruff, 52, of Surrey was charged with the same counts of first degree murder in the death of the same couple.

Police say it was a targeted hit but have not released the motive for the hit or the affiliation of the shooters. Karen Batke, Jack Douglas Woodruff's girlfriend went missing back in 2007. Police believe she too has met with foul play.

Palin Trump - Dumb and Dumber

The Republicans have got to do better than that. Donald Trump and Sarah Palin? That's like dumb and dumber revisited. The wing nut and the whack job. A tax evading Nazi who wants to invade countries like Libya to steal their oil and a down right idiot who can't remember if the US supported North or South Korea in the war. God help us.

Sarah Palin also recently mixed up the Paul Revere story as well. Giving her the nuclear codes would be somewhat less than comical.

Quebec's own Peter Leask

I suppose we've all heard about the 31 Hells Angels and associates who were arrested in a large drug sweep in Quebec and had their charges dropped by an insane judge who felt that some time in the future they would be denied the right to a speedy trial. Some time in the future. Like that's not bizarre.

Well it turns out in 2005 this same judge lifted all 14 restrictions on serial killer Karla Homolka, imposed by the court before she was released from prison which thankfully the Quebec Government appealed. Thankfully the Quebec government is appealing this insane decision as well.

Peter Leask is a court judge in BC that most of us here think is a complete idiot. He is either inept or corrupt. It appears that James Brunton is Quebec's own version of Peter Leask. Our condolences to our brothers and sisters in Quebec. Keep the faith. J'imagine.

Et merci pour Luongo. The Montreal Canadians have made some significant contributions to the sport for generations with Ken Dryder, Guy Lafleur and the crew. They made us all proud when we were kids. This year it's finally Vancouver's turn. Can you believe that? Yet Joannie Rochette is still the queen of our hearts.

The Vancouver Canucks

How about them Canucks?! Torres scores late in the third period to give Canucks the win in Game 1. They had the game on the big screen at Surrey Central. The game was 0 - 0 at the end of the second period. Lots of silly penalties on both sides yet both teams power plays were ineffective and the game remained scoreless.

I'm thinking to myself, the Canucks are still in this. Kesler is winning most of the face offs. No one is really dominating the game. Even if the Canucks had lost game one, they'd still be in it. They have a very real chance at actually winning the series and winning the Stanley cup for the first time in history.

Boston is a great city and I rather lose to Boston than some of the other places but that just might not happen. We just might win. Back in the day the Boston Bruins had some pretty big names like Bobby Orr when they won the Stanley cup, but we have the big names now: Kesler, Luongo, the Sedins, Bieksa.

There have been quite a few Youtube videos to get people pumped up about the series. Someone put Eminem's Lose Yourself to Cannucks footage. Someone else rewrote Bruno Mars The Lazy Song to a Canucks theme. Then there was a funny video about a Bruins fan in Vancouver that even made the paper. And of course there's Drake and the black, red, yellow. It's just a game right? Yeah right. This is history. Boston Pizza even changed their name for the playoffs.



Remember how Towel Power started? That was in Chicago. It was a protest against bad officiating. It is now a tradition. We're all pretty nervous watching the games. It's not until after the game with a win on paper that the cars start honking across the province. It's a taste of the Olympic spirit that swept Vancouver in 2010.

Interesting to note that Colin Fraser brought the Stanley cup to Surrey in 2010. He was from Surrey but actually played for the Chicago Blackhawks when they won the Stanley cup. Longtime Abbotsford resident Scott Bradley is playing with the Bruins this year.

I tell ya what's going to save Surrey. Immigration. I remember years ago when they changed the name of Whalley Exchange to Surrey Central. We all laughed and said you can change the name but you can't change Whalley. But they have. The demographics has changed considerably. Back in the day a Surrey rat was a white kid with long hair, daytons, a scruffy jean jacket and a lumberjack shirt who listened to heavy metal music. Surrey Central with the new University and all the new construction is changing. Soon it will host the new library and city hall. Sure some of the old jokes and stereotypes continue but things are changing. The future lives here.



Seeing photos of a canucks jersey on the statue of Lord Stanley at Stanley park just clued me in. That's the same Lord Stanley the cup is named after. He was governor general at the time and donated a cup to be used for a championship between the various hockey teams. Indeed the cup is coming home.

The Vernon Greeks and the Hells Angels

Disclaimer: Please note this Peter Manolakos is not a Medical Doctor from Boston and has never been to university. He’s a crack dealer from Western Canada tied to the Hells Angels. Different person, same name, worlds apart.

Freddy asked me why I don't write about the Greeks who were selling drugs in Vernon and I simply was honest and said I don't know much about them. My gut feeling was that since Vernon is to Kelowna what Dawson Creek is to Prince George, I could not see how the Greeks in Vernon could function without the support of the Hells Angels. Three minutes on Google confirmed that premise.

Police say the “Greeks” have links to the Hells Angels. Marniuk's death is also linked to last year's extensive search of a Vernon warehouse that has links to the Hells Angels. The place on Fairweather Road is owned by Zenon Stepkowski whom police confirm is an associate of the Calgary chapter of the Hells Angels.

Police allege The Greeks were involved in smuggling cocaine and heroin, and have ties to biker gangs. "The Hells Angels out of Calgary and Kelowna have sanctioned The Greeks in Vernon to carry out their drug trafficking business," alleged Haslett.

Castanet posted two articles about the Greeks in Vernon with a photo of some support gear seized from the Greeks. One shirt said Be Silent or Be Silenced. The others were clearly Hells Angels support gear including one that said support your local big red machine Calgary. Which would not only confirm a Hells Angels affiliation but also specifically an affiliation with Calgary as was implied with Zenon Stepkowski's involvement.

Let's have a quick peek at the drug related violence that affiliation created in Vernon. Andre Raymond admitted to one count of first-degree murder in the death of Ron Thom and three counts of manslaughter in the deaths of David Marniuk, Thomas Bryce and Robert Hewison. Raymond was sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole for 25 years.



RCMP said the four deaths were part of a case involving seven homicides in just over a year between April 2004 and May 2005. It's the largest case they've handled in the Okanagan city of about 36,000 residents.

RCMP said they believe the killings were part of an on-going gang war over control of street drugs. Sgt. Al Haslett, who led the police investigation, said Raymond was just one of the people involved in the gang killings. "Andre Raymond was a member of the Greek organization. They were involved in homicides, high-echelon level drug trafficking as well as controlling street-level trafficking," the undercover cop told CBC News. "They were involved in every type of criminal activity imaginable."

In April of 2007, Ken Beck pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the Hewison killing and was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 10 years.

Five other men — Sheldon O'Donnell, Leslie Podolski, Dale Sipes, Peter Manolakos and Douglas Brownell — are also charged with murder after a total of seven men were shot or beaten to death.

Andrew Yeo, manager of a local shelter called Upper Room Mission, said there's still drug-related violence on the streets. "People fear the Greeks. That's a name that absolutely struck fear in people's hearts," he said. "People walk into the Mission with a bruised eye or broken arm and you just know what [it is] about," Yeo said.

The Vernon Greeks are in the media now because their case is coming to trial in Vancouver. As we hear the gory details of the trial let's remember who is ultimately responsible for that drug related violence. The ones who supplied and empowered them to do their work, the Hells Angels. Moles and mules are a dime a dozen. Let's not forget who the Greeks were affiliated with.

The term silence or be silenced is very temporary. It's like trying to stop water from flowing down stream. It defies gravity. No lie can live forever. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again. What's done in the dark shall be brought to the light. That's a law of physics. Testifying against these kinds of criminals is not being a rat. Being a rat is profiting from that kind of depravity and turning the other way.
