Pension Protest

Scores of labour activists and seniors occupied the offices of 22 Conservative MPs in Ontario on Thursday afternoon to protest possible changes in the retirement income system. Supporters of the so-called “Blue-Grey” Alliance converged on constituency offices including the one for Finance Minister Jim Flaherty for more than two hours.

Spokesmen for the group said the protests were peaceful and several MPs scheduled meetings with seniors and their supporters in the next few weeks. The group will also start holding town hall meetings in communities across the province to raise public awareness during the next month, said Sid Ryan, president of the Ontario Federation of Labour.

I’m glad to see protesters expressing their concern about the insane things the Harper government is doing to our pensions. I suppose that will make them domestic terrorists in Harpers’ eyes.

Here’s another problem with their Pension math. Giving the banks $65 billion when they didn’t need it then cutting pensions isn’t the only concern. Although that is concern enough. The whole problem is with their math rationalizing the cuts.

We keep hearing about the baby boom. A surge in the population after the war which has subsequently tapered off. I would like to see some stats proving this but either way it’s irrelevant. Their claim is that because a surge in population getting ready to retire means there will be a huge drain on the pension system at some future date because there will be less people paying into the play to pay for the larger number of people retiring all at once.

No one seems to be raising the obvious problem with that math. All of those baby boomers have been paying taxes and paying into CPP all their working lives. I realize Old Age Pension is in a separate account from CPP but the bottom line is that when we make contributions to a pension, that money is supposed to go into a fund where it collects compound interest for when we retire. The fact that they are not doing that is another example of how they are screwing up a good thing unnecessarily.

Corporations are just as bad. When an employee makes a contribution to their pension, it is supposed to physically go into an account where it collects compound interest. This is the same thing with our government pension. If the government has borrowed from the fund our contributions were supposed to be sitting in collecting interest, then the government needs to repay the money it borrowed. That is more important than giving the banks $65 billion when they didn’t need it and expecting us to give up our pensions to pay for that dirty deed.

Tories flip on Torture

Well this certainly doesn’t come as a big surprise. They flipped on the bank bail out why not flip on torture. Only their position on torture hasn’t been reversed, they’ve just been caught with guile. Torture is illegal in Canada. Obviously they’re not going to come right out and say they support torture. That’s the purpose of off shore prison camps like Guantanamo Bay, to get around the legality of torture.

Now CSIS claims that they are opposed to torture but they will not destroy evidence they have received from torture. What a crock of shit that is. To make matters worse, Harper’s government sent out a bullshit warm and fuzzy press release claiming they opposed the torture that went on in Libya under their command. Yeah right. They banned the activist who complained about the torture in Libya under their command from entering Canada.

Harper and McKay LIED when they said they did not know the Canadian military were handing over prisoners in Afghanistan to be tortured. We’re not talking about water boarding. We’re talking about hood over the head electric shock treatment. Harper denied knowing anything about it in one breath, then fired and slandered the whistleblower in the next breath. He is a liar.

Some people will argue that in cases of terrorism where innocent lives are at stake torture is acceptable. Iggy even wrote a book supporting that premise. I disagree for two reasons. I do not believe torture is acceptable at any time and I certainly don’t trust them to determine when torture is a matter of national security.

Obviously Hitler would have argued that torturing anyone who opposed the third Reich was a matter of National security. No doubt he would torture someone falsely accused of terrorism after he burned down the German Parliament and blamed it on terrorists.

Likewise Stalin would no doubt argue that dissidents were a threat to National Security and should be tortured. We know that as the US passed a treasonous bill that threw out the bill of rights giving the military power to arrest domestic terrorists without a charge or due process, England published a list of domestic terrorists that include everyone protesting in support of the occupy movement.

Now all of a sudden we have people supporting the constitutional right to lawful assembly labeled as a domestic terrorist. That means they have no rights and can be tortured. That is so wrong it is absolutely insane debating the matter. This editorial in today's Vancouver Province entitled Canada should not use info from torture is right. This other article from today's Vancouver Province stating why Tories defend torture stand is so very wrong.

The Down side of Money Laundering

One would think that laundering drug money into local businesses would be a win win situation. Not so. In an economic slow down one would think that laundering money through construction, real estate or casinos would help boost the economy. Unfortunately, that’s not what happens and I’ll tell you why. Greed.

Everybody wants to get a better deal. Everybody wants to get a better return on their investment. They keep wanting more and more until that greed consumes them and shoots themselves in the foot. Take BCCI. The world’s largest bank collapse because of arms dealing, drug smuggling and money laundering.

But wait, if the bank was laundering drug money, wouldn’t that make it more profitable? Why did it collapse? That would be the investment fraud tied to the money laundering. We can argue about investment fraud until the cows come home. The fact is, BCCI laundered drug money and collapsed as a result.

It’s like the investment fraud the Bush family was extensively involved in. Take out a bank loan to invest in a fake company or a dry oil well. Con investors to put their money into the fake company or the over inflated dry oil well, then take off with the investors money and default on the bank loan with the promise of bailing out the bank loan with tax dollars. Ultimately this fraud steals from the tax payer as well as the investors.

Only it wasn’t just the Bush family that was involved in the reoccurring scam. Al Martin claims it was a fund raising tool for Iran contra. That means it wasn’t just Jeb Bush instructing him how to commit the fraud, it was Oliver North and Richard Secord as well.

Richard Secord was Oliver North’s boss. It wasn’t just Oliver North and Richard Secord either. All Martin claims that when the large Texas banks crashed in the /80’s, the Agency defaulted on many loans it took out through paper shell companies not because they didn’t have the money but because they ripped off the bank as a means of fundraising for covert operations.

The problem with laundering drug money is that they always over reach and couple it with investment fraud in efforts to double their money. Catherine Austin Fitts refers to this as the tapeworm economy. She says most people are afraid to stop the money laundering on Wall Street because they are tricked into thinking their investments and their RRSPs will go down when in reality, the opposite is true. Investment fraud destabilizes the market.

Another drug related shooting in Surrey

Hard to keep up with all the local shootings but there was another one in Surrey yesterday. The police state the target, Aaron Craig Tam, is very well known to us in the drug trade. The guy was shot several times in the 14300 hundred block of 92nd Avenue beside Green Timbers. The shooter stole his rental vehicle and set it on fire. Two suspects were seen dumping the car. One suspect has been apprehended. He was treated for burns from setting the car on fire. Obviously brain surgery was his second career option.

A pattern of deranged violence has been revealed and repeated

This discovery of human remains in a vacant home on a First Nations reserve outside of Prince George disturbs me. First of all, we know it's drug related and we know who runs the drug trade in Prince George. When it says human remains were discovered that usually means one of two things. Either the body was there a long time and had decomposed leaving skeletal remains or someone had cut up and dismembered the body.

Two elements of the deranged pattern of drug related violence that I see are torture and dismemberment. At the trial of contract killer Mickie (Phil) Smith the court was told one of his murders was done for the East Vancouver chapter of the Hells Angels. Smith killed Paul Percy Soluk at a crack house in Surrey and said a man he called Yurik helped him chop up and dispose of the body. Smith said "Yurik's not an Angel but he works with the Angels. I know he's done a lot of hits."

This case is the smoking gun so to speak. It directly ties the East Vancouver hells angels to murder in a Surrey crack house where the body was chopped up afterwards. Smith said Yurik helped him chop up the body and that Yurik has done a lot of hits for the hells angels. Is that so? How many of them has he chopped up?

A lot of people are asking my why the police have refused to release the details on the details of Britney Irving's murder and the condition her body was found in. Several sources claim she was found chopped up stuffed in a barrel. True or false, the manner of her murder needs to come out at Joey Verma's trial. It appears that the pretrial has completed and now they are preparing for the full trial.

We know that Jody Elliott's remains were found in a wooded area on Kelowna's Westside back in 2005. Witnesses said that word on the street was his murder was designed to send a message to Kelowna's drug culture. A shovel and an X-acto knife were employed to remove the victim’s head, hands and ear.

A police officer acting on a tip intercepted the trio as they headed back to Kelowna on Bear Creek Main Road in a car that contained Elliott’s body parts. Back at the Kelowna RCMP detachment, an officer discovered Elliott’s ear in Fralic’s pants pocket. Let me pause for one moment and reiterate how deranged this single case is and how often this deranged pattern has been repeated.

The first disturbing accounts we hear of victims being chopped up and disposed of were on the Pickton farm. One of those murders was also tied to a Surrey crack house known as the Surrey House of Horrors. One of those victims was also tied to the Orange Number Five in East Vancouver.

Cutting up a body after they have murdered the person to dispose of the body is one thing, torture in another. Cutting off someones ear while they are alive is something that I would consider torture. Cutting off someones privates while they are alive is something I would consider torture. Cutting off someones privates after they are dead is psychotically deranged.

Apparently, the sexual abuse in the Paxton case has not been limited to the Paxton case. Which brings us back to torture. We know they tortured people in the Surrey House of Horrors. Garry Harder was tortured and electrocuted there for $300.00. His girlfriend was made to watch and "they" tried to force his girlfriend into a life of prostitution to repay the debt.

We know the police found crack addicts chained in crack house basements in Prince George who were being tortured for crack debts. This is a very disturbing pattern of torture and abuse tied to Surrey and Prince George's drug and prostitution world run by we all know who. Enough.

Fribjon Bjornson found dead and tortured

RCMP are investigating the discovery of human remains in a vacant home on a First Nations reserve in Fort St. James. By Saturday, RCMP confirmed in a media release the person found on the reserve was Fribjon Bjornson, 28, from Vanderhoof. He was reported missing on Jan. 21. This is a youtube tribute. Update: Arrests in Fribjon Bjornson's murder.

Madison Scott has been missing from Hogsback lake near Vanderhoof since Saturday May 28th. Police released a Re-enactment of her disappearance. People know people. Let us know what you've heard. We know who controls the drug trade in Prince George.

BC Liberals place Super Bowl Ad

The flailing BC Liberals are getting so desperate, they're using tax dollars to run adds promoting them during the Superbowl according to this recent article in the Vancouver Province. That's even worse than spending tax dollars on adds trying to convince us to vote for the HST.

Here's the problem: a conservative believes in democracy and free speech. A neo con believes in censorship and propaganda. Remember back in the day the Reform party was talking about free votes in caucus and encouraged MP's to poll their constituents before voting on an issue? Imagine that. That is what Chuck Cadman did and the exact opposite of what Stephen Harper does.

This whole concept of using tax dollars to run advertising for a political party or agenda is very disturbing. A neo con is not a new conservative. A neo con is a new con or scam. The do not believe in grass roots democracy. They hide their agenda with censorship and twist it with propaganda. That's the whole point of Harper's Fox News North. He wants to tell us how to think when he should be listening to the public who pays his salary.

Don't fall into the trap for B.C. conservatives. If B.C.'s overburdened courts are in crisis, then we need to fix that problem before we make it worse. Harper didn't give us any more money for the courts. His unbalanced bill makes it impossible for us to address violent crime by sending the overburdened system into disarray by crashing it with non violent offenders.

Dustin Paxton convicted of assault, not confinement

Dustin Paxton has been found guilty in a Calgary courtroom of aggravated assault against his former business partner and roommate, but not of unlawful confinement.

Justice Sheilah Martin still has to rule on a charge of sexual assault, but said there was overwhelming evidence that Paxton treated the man as his personal servant and "whipping post."

Paxton's victim was dropped off at a Regina hospital in April 2010 weighing 87 pounds, suffering from numerous broken bones and a mutilated face.

Martin said the man, who cannot be identified under a publication ban, was repeatedly assaulted by Paxton in Calgary and Regina and that the list of injuries is lengthy and grotesque.

She is currently discussing the unlawful confinement charge against Paxton, saying she accepts that Paxton's abuse included economic manipulation — often a factor in forcible confinement.

The tragedy is that he tortured the victim and the criminal code doesn't cover torture it just covers assault. So in Stephen Harper's world a pot grower will get more jail time than someone who commits acts of torture.

Journalists on Twitter claim Paxton has now also been found guilty of sexual assault.

We know the victim had previously been an insignificant witness in a Hells Angels murder trail. We know that drugs and crystal meth was involved. If Dustin Paxton sold crystal meth, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out who his supplier was.

The unlawful confinement aspect of the case was tragic. The victim could have left but didn't. That leads us to wonder why he didn't leave as though some larger threat was being held over him. We did read in the trial that the victim claimed in police reports that his assailant would drive him to other places to be beaten which does imply more than one person was involved. We did hear the hospital where the victim was dropped off made a public apology for mistakenly releasing the victims family information for a large tattooed man who showed up at the hospital where he was dropped off asking about him. We know the large tattooed man was no Paxton. He was skinny and scrawny.

Stop The Cell Phone Squeeze

Cell phone companies need access to wireless spectrum to provide mobile services. On the eve of a critical new wireless spectrum auction, the Big Three cell phone giants (who already control almost 94% of the market) are trying raise prices by tricking the government into shutting independent competitors out of the market.

They want to block smaller independent cell phone providers from being able to use essential wireless spectrum. These giant phone companies are going so far as to use high-priced lobbyists and one is even using a fake grassroots campaign.

"Conservatives" support small business and free enterprise. Neocons say they support small business but don't. They support large corporations overpowering small business. That is not a free and democratic society. Stephen Harper is not a conservative. He is a neocon.

Pot growers get more jail time than Pedophiles

Senate hearings began last week over Bill C-10 and why its mandatory minimum sentences gives pot growers more jail time than pedophiles. People wonder why I call Stephen Harper a traitor. Nothing else needs to be said. This is not Law and Order legislation. This is over burden your flailing jails and prevent violent crime from being addressed legislation.

The Peak of Inversion: Oh Holy Night

Now that’s what I’m talking about. I made it up to third pump on Saturday and what a magnificent day it was. The sun was shining and the inversion was peaking. Inversion is when it’s warmer up in the mountain than down in the city. It’s when the fog and low lying clouds roll in so that when you’re in the mountain it looks like you’re in an airplane looking above the clouds. We saw it start on Thursday but it was starting to peak by Saturday. It was awesome.













I'm working on a couple of video clips but sunset above the inversion with the mountains of Vancouver island in the back ground, it doesn't get ant better than that.

David's Ho

David Ho has certainly made the news. Shamed tycoon avoids trial with a whole overview. Somewhat bizarre. I recall several years ago hearing on the radio about a David Ho being engaged to an Ima Lee. The radio claimed they were having problems in their engagement and went for counseling. turns out his fiancee was having cold feet. The counselor sat them down and tool one look at his fiancee and said Does any of your concerns about getting married have anything to do with changing your surname? then burst out laughing. Must have been a different David Ho :)

Billy Bowden Arrested

Billy Bowden has been arrested in another drug bust.

More news: Looks like they put out a video of their own. Men arrested in drug bust brag about the lifestyle. Interesting to note he also attended Trevor Savoy's funeral.

Jarrod Bacon found guilty

Jarrod Bacon and the father of his girlfriend were found guilty of conspiracy to import cocaine. The next question is will his parents be charged since they were caught in evidence as being active participants.

We they set up? Of course they were. It was an under cover sting operation? Was it entrapment? Of course not. Getting them in an under cover sting operation was the only way they could convicted them and get the bacon brothers off the street without convicting their suppliers and charging Larry Amero’s bowling club.

Kyle Nelson is a Punk

I can’t believe the strange extremes we’re finding with regards to police and gangs, especially in Kelowna. Recently another Kelowna police officer was in the news and was found guilty of committing assault. The conditions of that case were very different from the Geoff Mantler disaster.

In this case a drunken punk gets out of a nightclub and starts yelling at a cop trash talking him being very rude. The cop gives it right back to the guy and gives him the finger. The guy keeps beaking off. The cop walks up to him and the guy runs away. The cop chases him into an alley and is like what do you have to say now?
There is no recording of the subsequent conversation but the bottom line is the guy was beaking off in front of a crowd and when the cop got him alone and punched him in the head once, the guy rolls over and plays the victim.

Compare that to Mantler who drags an innocent suspect out of his vehicle before it comes to a complete stop, punches him repeatedly in the head as he takes him to the ground and grinds the suspects face into the pavement with his knee. The suspect lost a tooth and the road rash on his face was very visible. The picture of Kyle’s face was like is that a bruise or a freckle. It was not noticeable at all.

Compare that with Mantler kicking a compliant suspect in the face while he was on his knees in the process of lying face down on the ground. These are two very different situations. Right now the gang mentality and the Hells Angels are completely out of control in Kelowna. Robert Thomas and Norman Cox beating a father to death with baseball bats and hammers is a prime example. A Mission city Hells Angel and another local Hells Angel jumping a cop from behind while the cop was breaking up a fight outside a Kelowna nightclub is another.

Justice is not a complicated mystery. The reason a scale is used to symbolize justice is because justice requires a logical balance that reflects common sense. Mauling a suspect’s face after he is on the ground is excessive. Giving someone the boots and caving in their face when they are on the ground is excessive. Tasering someone after they are on the ground or hogtied is excessive. Punching a loud mouth punk in the head once when he’s alone in the ally really isn’t a big deal. Why would we make a big deal about that but not the other? Common sense appeals for balance.

The BC Liberals failed energy policy

Christy Clark made the news again claiming when she got in office she changed ten years of policy and raised minimum wage. (Right before an election I might add) She wasn’t quite looking like the dishonest Sith Lord she has of late yet an analysis on the news raised a good point. He said it was a bad day for BC Liberals because it showed ten years of failed energy policy with regards to BC Hydro.

It appears they were talking about privatizing part of BC Hydro and forcing BC Hydro to buy power from these private independent power companies that charge BC Hydro an above market inflated rate to satisfy the demands of their shareholders to make them a profit by ripping off taxpayers.

It appears that Christy Clark has reversed the longstanding Campbellized Liberal policy of forcing BC Hydro to buy power from these private power sharks. I’m not sure how she claims to have fixed the problem but changing the policy is indeed both a step forward and an admission of guilt. It is the source of the fraudulent ballooning debt they are going to try and scam taxpayers into covering.

The real solution is to disband the independent power companies that are ripping off BC Hydro and bring that work back into BC Hydro as a public company. By cutting out the middleman they will save taxpayers money. Those are the real shareholders of a publicly accountable company.

‘Fast and Furious’ congressional hearing

Speaking of congressional hearings, the Operation Fast and Furious scandal has started it's own congressional hearing ironically enough. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. testified Thursday for more than four hours on Capitol Hill in a showdown with House Republicans, who threatened to hold him in contempt if he does not quickly turn over more documents on a botched gun operation.

During a morning of partisan theater, the Republicans on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee criticized Holder’s management style, interrogated him about internal e-mails, and demanded to know what Justice officials knew about “Operation Fast and Furious” and when they knew it. The Democrats, in turn, defended Holder, advocated stronger gun control laws and accused their GOP colleagues of grandstanding.

What a side show indeed. Republicans pointing fingers at Democrats over arms dealing, drug smuggling and money laundering. Why this all sounds like the Clinton's and the Bush's Mena, Arkansas to me. Corruption is clearly nonpartisan. Holder's got that Olly North look in his eyes. Isn't this just a continuation of the extended version of Iran Contra? After all Iran Contra was about a lot more than Iran. It was about arms dealing and cocaine smuggling out of Nicaragua. Now they're doing it out of Mexico. Has anything really changed?

Speaking of Oliver North, that criminal returned to the scene of the crime recently. At least back then they pretended it was for a cause. Now they're forced to admit the arms dealing and drug smuggling is just about the money.

On another case, in a rather troubling move, it appears that the leadership of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Environment had a documentary filmmaker arrested on Congressional property for daring to try to film a hearing that was taking place on the subject of "fracking" -- an issue for which this filmmaker, Josh Fox, is well known for covering in his documentary Gasland.

Numb3rs

I don't watch much TV but tonight I happened to see an interesting episode of the TV series Numb3rs. A mathematician solves crimes by running numbers. Tonight's episode was somewhat interesting as it related to a conspiracy related to the odds five suspicious deaths could be a coincidence and not murders. The more numbers they ran the more evidence came forward.

It was a rerun from Season 3, Episode 18, Aired 3/9/07 called Democracy. The bad guy ran a Hedge fund on Wall Street. The scam the murders were trying to cover up was electronic voting fraud. That kinda sounds familiar. Only it was in Florida not Cali and it was IRL.

A Beautiful Day

Surf's up! Fresh snow and good visibility on the local mountains. Now that's what I'm talking about. Every time I've been in the mountains lately the fog has rolled in and there has been zero visibility. I’m not into Miley Cyrus. I’m not in it for the climb I’m in it for the view. Mind you I did find the dirty Surrey remix to be rather humorous.

Finally we could see something today and what a day it was.

A peak at Indian Arm:



The back of First Pump:









Second Pump and Third Pump from the side:



The trail to third pump had too much snow for me:



A bit of inversion starting:



I thought about the Lindsay Buziak walk today. The fourth anniversary of her murder. The family still wants to know who and why. Tragic. In Ireland we have a saying. Translated into English it means "Our day will come." It's usually shouted while throwing a petrol bomb at some unconquerable enemy.

I don't believe life ends at death. Lindsey will have her day. The day when no false witnesses will be admissible because we will be able to see the truth first hand. There is more I have to say about this case but for today I will salute her and her family in their quest for answers. Lindsay shines and will continue to do so. Others will not.

Lindsay Buziak Memorial Walk

This February second is the four year mark for the unsolved murder of Lindsay Buziak. In her honor and in efforts to keep the investigation alive, there will be a walk from Royal Oak Burial Park, Saanich, B.C. starting at 10 a.m. February 2, 2012 to the Saanich Municipal Hall via 1702 De Sousa Place. Your participation would be greatly appreciated by Lindsay, her family and friends. This is a copy of the poster.

George Wolsey back in the news

Another scam close to home. Slum Lord Greg Woolsey was in the news again today. Protesters and picketers claim he’s still saying his tenants who are on the methadone program must buy their methadone from him or be evicted. These are not new allegations. It is astonishing that it takes pickets to get something done about this crook. The protesters claim that George is using Pharmasave to get his methadone.

It also raises awareness about flaws in the methadone program. Like how medical doctors aren’t prescribing a reduction in dose, they are maintaining and increasing the dosage. The news claims that losing one methadone prescription could mean a loss of $6,000.00 for the pharmacy. That certainly opens the door wide open for white collar fraud.

Investment fraud was a form of fundraising for Iran Contra

While we’re on the subject of fraud, let us remember that the Agency was directly involved in the collapse of the BCCI. That bank failed because it was involved in illegal activity - namely arms dealing, drug smuggling and money laundering.

Let us remember that drug smuggling wasn’t the only source of revenue for the extended version of Iran Contra. Investment fraud was another avenue they used to raise money. Retired Navy Intelligence Officer Al Martin claims that Jeb Bush directed him to commit investment fraud to raise money for the cause.

The double dip was a scam they used to raise money. They would get a loan from a bank to invest in a fake or dry oil well. They would over inflate the value of the well and con investors to invest in it. The stock would crash and they would take the investors money as well as default on the bank loan with the promise of being bailed out with tax dollars.

Sometimes the investors were willing participants. They would invest their money knowing it was going to crash. They would be paid out half of their investment and write off the other half on their taxes. That way they broke even and walked away with an autographed picture of Bush and a warm fuzzy feeling they were helping rid the world of Godless Communism using fraud in the process.

The Bush family repeatedly used the scam of conning people out of their money through dry Texas oil wells. Harken Energy was no exception. Neil Bush was even caught in the mother of all conflict of interests by being on the board of Silverado Savings and Loans in Colorado that approved loans for one of his fake oil companies that defaulted on the loan and was bailed out with tax dollars.

The Bush family weren’t the only ones involved in that popular scam. According to Al Martin in his book the Conspirators, the CIA defaulted on many Texas bank loans during the S&L crisis which were bailed out with tax dollars. This is how the CIA did business. Is it any surprise Goldman Sacs helped rip off the EU by hiding the Greek investment fraud? We must open our eyes and protect ourselves from this kind of investment fraud. Our pensions and our liberty are at stake.

Who’s Killing the Rizzutos? Part Two

The Fifth Estate documentary was on again last night and this time I was able to watch it in it’s entirety. I will concede that there is a remote possibility that Sal the Iron Worker came to Canada and over did the demands for protection money and in so doing turned Rizzutos against Rizzutos. It is conceivable that Desjardins recruited the help of the Hells Angels to take out Sal to preserve the Rizzuto family for Vito’s return. However, I submit that there is also another possibility.

The most obvious question is who has the backing of the Bonannos in New York? Sal or Desjardins? One would think Sal had the backing of the Bonannos. Yet one has to wonder how the Bonannos can be on good terms with the Rizzutos after they gave up Vito Rizzuto to the police for his help with the triple murder back in 1981 that they hired him to do. Is Joe Massino on good terms with the Bonannos for rolling over? That’s hard to imagine. Was he the last Don? Are the New York crime families done?

Back in Ireland, when someone killed someone or blew someone up, someone would always claim responsibility. Whether it be the IRA, the UDA, the INLA, the UVF or some other splinter group, someone would claim responsibility. Let’s contrast that with how the Hells Angels do business. They never accept responsibility for a murder. They always deny it. In fact they have even been known to attend funerals of people they are the prime suspects in ordering the murder.

I don’t pretend to know anything about the Italian Mafia in Montreal. I have however, seen how the Hells Angels have done business in Canada. That pattern tends to repeat itself. In Western Canada the Hells Angels really haven’t been here that long. Before the Gypsy Wheelers patched over we really didn’t know first hand how they did business. Now we know. In a very short time they have completely taken over the drug trade and have used brutal violence to control that monopoly.

What we have seen in British Columbia is that they take over everything and they do not share. Look at how they took over the stripper agencies in BC. Look at how they used that same violence to take over the prostitution industry in BC. Look at how fast that industry has gone downhill in the province under their leadership.

Now, let’s peak at the Hells Angels in Quebec. It all started with the Lennoxville massacre. They murdered their own and created a huge division that resulted in long and bloody biker war. In Winnipeg they killed one of their own and created a drug war there too, but let’s stay focused. After the Lennoxville massacre was the Death Riders take over in Laval. They conspired with key up and coming members and killed the president. Hours after the president’s funeral Death Riders members were seen meeting with Mom Boucher and Biff Hamel. There was no loyalty or honour in that. Kinda like a driver shooting his boss in the back and leaving him in a car trunk.

Likewise we have seen this pattern of infiltrate and murder to take over virtually every gang in British Columbia except for the UN who they did business with and were friends with while they also did business with and were friends with their arch enemies, the Bacon brothers.

In steps Vito Rizzuto. 1981 he puts himself on the map doing a hit for the Bonanno family in New York. He then comes back to Montreal and takes over the drug trade. Yet someone else was also heavily involved in the Montreal drug trade at the time. The Hells Angels were fighting the Rock Machine for control of it. One source claims the Rizzutos gave the Hells Angels the heroin trade in the /80’s on the condition that they received a commission.

We know that the Hells Angels did business with the Rizzutos. Aside from documented cases, it was also mentioned in the book the Sixth Family. We know that Vito’s brother in law was kidnapped by a small clan in Granby that had the backing of the Hells Angels. We know that Del Balso's men shot a Hells Angels associate in 2006 for grabbing his throat and threatening him. We know the Hells Angels retaliated by murdering the Rizzuto under boss.

Call me crazy but I would think that when a Hells Angels associate grabs Del Balso by the neck and threatens him, that would imply a slight amount of tension between the two groups. When then Hells Angels retaliated for his murder by murdering the Rizzuto underboss named Domenico Macri, that to me would imply the Hells Angel associate who made the threat had the backing of the Hells Angels. It’s hard to conceive that he would make that threat without the backing of someone. It’s also hard to conceive that the ransom money for the kidnapping did not go to the Hells Angels.

Think about it. We currently have this war going on in Montreal where someone is killing the Rizzutos but nobody knows who it is that’s doing it. Isn’t that strategic genius? To wage a war without anyone knowing you are doing it? That avoids an all out retaliation. The plausible deniability confuses everyone. Rumors circulate but no one knows for sure who is doing it. Someone is.

Firebombing a funeral home was out of the norm. That’s not something the Italians or Sicilians would do. But it is something the Hells Angels would do. Shooting Rizzuto in his home in front of his family with a sniper in the trees was not something the Italians or the Sicilians would do. That sounded more like the military. Yeah I said it. Who else was involved with operation Fast and Furious selling arms to the Mexican cartel and bring back tons of cocaine into the United States? Who else was involved with the arms dealing, drug smuggling and the money laundering out of Mena, Arkansas?

Who else has returned Afghanistan into the largest producers of opium in the world after the Taliban had that production almost completely stopped? The same organization that cheerfully submitted Operation Northwoods to the Joint Chiefs of Staff for his approval. So who's in charge of the drug trafficking in New York now? The mafia or the military? You tell me. Let's ask Al Martin and Bo Gritz. We can’t ask Chip Tatum, he’s dead. Just like Gary Webb, Danny Casolaro, Barry Jennings and Dr. David Kelly.

Police dogs

There has been a fair bit of media lately about police dogs using excessive force. I used to know a guy many years ago who was involved with training police dogs in Delta. I didn’t really know him, I just remember hearing him speak and give a presentation on police dog training.

To my understanding, back then the dogs were trained to grab the arm and pin the suspect. There was no mauling the suspects face involved in that training. It sounds like things have changed.

In the two cases on the news, both suspects admit wrong doing. One kid admitted to breaking into a convenience store and stealing a monster drink. Hardly a serious offence. Sending a police dog to grab and pin him would be appropriate. Having the dog maul his face is not appropriate. It’s like tasering someone after they’re down or after they are hogtied. Reasonable force means taking the person down not beating the tar out of them once they’re on the ground.

Likewise the other case on the news showed a guy using a skateboard to smash a transit bus door. He was not only in the wrong but committing an aggressive act that warranted a certain amount of reasonable force to subdue him. He too was mauled in the face by the dog and had tendon damage near his knee which made him unable to walk properly long after the attack. Even though that suspect was in the wrong and being aggressive, using force to take him down was warranted but mauling his face and knee after he was on the ground was not.

Mauling someone’s face after they are on the ground is wrong. The dog’s trainer on site is legally liable. He could easily have given the command to stop but obviously felt punishing the suspect after he was subdued was his right when it clearly was not.

My three beefs

Right now, Harper screwing up our pensions is my primary beef. That is unbelievable. Lying about the bank bailout in Canada, taking us from a surplus in the millions to a deficit in the billions because he gave the banks $65 billion when he said we didn’t have to was astonishing. Repaying that bailout by deregulating pensions is pure evil. Although he didn’t say a word about it during the election, he was involved with the pension theft at Canada Post prior to the last election.

After the employees voted no to losing their pensions, Canada Post locked out their employees knowing that Stephen Harper would legislate them back to work. Now he is continuing that dirty deed in his quest to steal pensions from all new Canadians not just unionized workers. This is not a heritage to be proud of. Stephen Harper and Gordon Campbell are scoundrels.

My next biggest beef is the BC Hydro fraudulent debt and the secret quest to crash the public company and turn it into another Enron disaster at the taxpayers’ expense just because privatizing Hydro will remove all public accountability. That is treason.

My third beef is obviously the gang war resulting from the public sale of crack and crystal meth. Stephen Harper is not an honest man. He was elected on a tough on crime platform, only to cut funding for the RCMP and the Gang Task Force.
He didn’t give anyone more money for more prisons. He came up with an insanely unbalanced crime bill and told the provinces they had to pay for it. That’s like Christy Clark giving away a new stat holiday she doesn’t have to pay for. Only it’s much worse.

His ridiculously unbalanced crime bill will prevent us from being able to afford to fix the problem we have all been complaining about – addressing violent crime. When someone gets more prison time for growing pot than for sexual assault, something is very wrong.

Destroying our prison system, which is exactly what Stephen Harper is doing by over burdening it with nonviolent offenders, will bankrupt it unnecessarily just like the California privatized prison system disaster.

What we need to do is stop letting crack dealers sell crack or crystal meth in public. What we need to do is get rid of Stephen Harper because he is a traitor and a tyrant just like Brian Mulroney.

Stopping the public sale of crack would be an easy task. On welfare night in East Vancouver the line ups for the crack dealers are a block long. It would be a very simple task to walk up to that line and arrest the crack dealer not the addicts. The fact that we are not doing that is suspect. It brings us to Operation Fast and Furious.

Operation Fast and Furious was nothing new. They were caught doing what the Bush and Clintons were doing out of Mena, Arkansas for years. If we want to get crack off the street, we have to open our eyes and take a look at the obvious corruption that is putting it there.

102 minutes that changed the world

There was a very disturbing documentary about 9/11 on TV last night called 102 minutes that changed the world. It showed a lot of unseen footage taken from private cameras and cell phones after the first plane hit the first tower and on through the second plane and the eventual collapse of the towers.

It was very disturbing because without question 9/11 was a horrible event. A few years ago I was at a jobsite and we were discussing 9/11 and the Bush Administration. The person I was discussing it with came right out and said do you believe 9/11 was an inside job? I looked him in the eye and said yes I do. There was silence. A woman I worked with looked at me like I had just said I was an alien from outer space. She was shocked. I shrugged and said I sincerely believe it was an inside job.

One of the things that bothered me about the documentary last tonight was that it didn’t even show the collapse of the first tower. They had all this new unseen footage and they cut out the collapse of the first tower completely. They just showed the tower and a plume of smoke with it gone shortly thereafter and all the shock that the tower had completely disappeared.

It did show the collapse of the second tower once briefly from a distance. The whole point is that buildings don’t collapse like that unless the load bearing beams are blown out in a controlled demolition. A better example is the third tower. The third tower fell in the exact same manner and no planes hit it at all. It didn’t fall over. It collapsed into it’s own blueprint at freefall speed. Architects will tell you that is a controlled demolition. Larry Silverstein admitted they pulled that tower.

Looking back at the twin towers, they too collapsed into their own blueprint at freefall speed. One can imagine that a plane hitting a tower can cause a huge amount of force. Yet the buildings were unmoved. When they fell, they fell at freefall speed. The top floors didn’t collapse first which in turn put pressure on lower floors which caused them to collapse. They all fell at freefall speed just like a controlled demolition.

Another thing that bothered me about that documentary is that it didn’t show the subsequent explosions we all saw after the planes hit. It did interview one witness covered in dust. He was asked What happened? He responded with: It collapsed. The top flours collapsed. I saw it blow and I ran like hell. I may be 69 but I can still run. He saw what blow? He said he saw something blow right before the tower collapsed. He wasn’t taking about the initial explosion when the plane hit it. He was talking about right before the tower fell. Other eye witnesses claim they also saw explosions going off in the Towers after the planes hit. Those witnesses are now dead.

Another disturbing thing is the fact that right after the documentary they advertised another new documentary about JFK exposing his mistresses. We all know it is highly likely that JFK had an affair with Marylyn Monroe. That wasn’t the conspiracy. The conspiracy was the fact that he was assassinated. That is a historical fact. He was murdered after he vetoed Operation Northwoods and reassigned the Joint Chiefs of staff who signed it and fired the Director of the CIA who submitted it.



Allen Dulles was the one that helped hide the Bush family’s dealings with Nazi Germany. Putting him on the Warren Commission to investigate Kennedy’s assassination was a complete conflict of interest. Kennedy was shot from the front not from behind. The secret service pulled back his body guard right before he was shot.



Allen Dulles was also involved with Operation 40 which just happens to be highlighted on Jesse Ventura's TV Series Conspiracy Theory. Barry Seal our cocaine smuggling friend for the Agency in Mena Arkansas was also a member of Operation 40.

If find the timing of a use 9/11 to rationalize going to war right before a slag JFK for vetoing Operation Northwoods to be very suspicious. Many readers will cover their ears when I say 9/11. Many more readers will cover their ears when I say JFK. Some readers will say stop mentioning Operation Northwoods. Only I can’t. Operation Northwoods was a real proposal. If Kennedy didn’t veto it, they would have implemented it. Regardless of who is responsible for 9/11 that is a serious concern.

I’m sure if we took video footage of children screaming with radiation burns in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that too would generate strong emotions. We need to open our eyes and look at the facts. Larry Silverstein bought the twin towers after the port authority lost the court case to pay for the asbestos removal. Yes the twin towers were half full of asbestos and yes the port authority wanted to demolish the towers but were forbidden from doing so because of the health concerns. That horrible dust cloud we all saw wasn’t just dust. It was full of asbestos.

Larry Silverstein went back to court with the port authority at his side and sued the insurance companies again. This time he wanted to get paid double the value of the policy because two planes constituted two terrorist attacks. They won that court case. He doubled his investment over that horrific tragedy.

That’s like insuring a car worth $20,000.00 and getting paid $40,000.00 because it was involved in a three car collision. It’s just not right.

I do believe 9/11 was an inside job and I'm not the only one.

Sandip Duhre's funeral compared to Jonathan Bacon's

It was an overflow crowd of family and friends at Surrey’s Valley View funeral home Thursday to pay tribute to the late Sandip Duhre. VS A handful of mourners visited a Langley funeral home Friday afternoon for a private family viewing of slain gangster Jonathan Bacon.



It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out how hated the Bacon brothers are in Surrey. Jonathon Bacon was a piece of garbage just like his other two brothers. Punks from the suburbs empowered by the Hells Angels who got too big for their britches. Take away the armored cars and the body armor and look what happens. He's dead and no one cares.

Errol Gardiner

Is that Errol Gardiner from the Throttle Lockers in Kelowna seen in the left beside what appears to be James Riach leaving the scene of the Jarrod Bacon / Larry Amero shooting? People say it looks very similar.

Who is Nabil Alkhalil?

Nabil Alkhalil was arrested with 11 kilos of cocaine after a high speed car chase in Ottawa. He was sentenced to a seven year jail term in 2008. Statutory release is after two thirds of his jail term has been served. So, if he's out of jail, what on earth would one of our local boys be doing hiding with him?

Confucius’ Five Virtues

Confucius was a wise teacher with many famous sayings similar to the proverbs of King Solomon. Confucius’ Five Virtues are:

Ren, the virtue of benevolence, charity, and humanity

Yi, the virtue of honesty and uprightness;

Zhi, the virtue of knowledge or wisdom;

Xin, the virtue of faithfulness and integrity; and,

Li, the virtue of correct behavior, or propriety, good manners, politeness, ceremony, worship.

These are all good things. Against such there is no law.
