Mom Boucher’s Past History



Before we look at the Hells Angels support of Domenic Violi and the Calbrians in Hamilton, we need to look at Mom Boucher’s past history to see the pattern that repeats itself. Greg Wololey has ties to Mom Boucher. I first started this web site and blog because of the Vancouver gang war. At the time, I thought Mom Boucher was hard core. Then I found out some things about him that I found hard to respect.

First was the fact that he served time for armed rape. That’s pretty slimy. He joined the Hells Angels shortly after getting out of prison for that rape. Before he joined the Hells Angels he and his friend Salvatore Cazzetta formed their own white supremacist biker club called the SS. Now that’s pretty messed up. This whole obsession with Nazis is messed up.

I don’t understand how anyone from Quebec can wear Nazi lightening bolts. The Nazis invaded France. We spilt our blood on the beaches of Normandy to liberate France from Nazi occupation. The French revolution was based on liberté, égalité, fraternité. Fascism is the exact opposite. Anyone who wears Nazi swastikas or lightening bolts is pissing on the French revolution and the graves of the soldiers who died trying to liberate France from Germany.

So Mom Boucher’s past history begins with a white supremacist biker club called the SS and with armed rape. Before that he was a petty thief that robbed an old man at gunpoint. Don’t worry, it gets worse.

Next comes the dirty politics. Salvatore Cazzetta didn’t join the Hells Angels with Mom Boucher because Salvatore was pissed about the Lennoxville massacre. The Hells Angels set up and executed their own and he thought that was bullshit. He was right. Boucher surprisingly enough didn’t have a problem with it. He saw it as an opportunity to advance himself in the organization. Just like his other pal Biff Hamel did.

Biff Hamel was a member of the SS and became a Hells Angels prospect with Mom Boucher. Biff was present at the Lennoxville massacre. He watched them murder his sponsors. Instead of being upset that they murdered his brothers, he jumped at the opportunity to promote himself in the club. That’s when Biff Hamel and Mom Boucher teamed up to take over the Deathriders.

On May 4, 1987 the President of the Death Riders, Martin Huneault, was shot to death in a Laval bar. No one was ever arrested for the murder, but just hours after Huneault's funeral, Death Riders Mario Martin and André Richard were seen meeting with Hells Angels Maurice "Mom" Boucher and Normand "Biff" Hamel. Boucher and Hamel received their colours after the incident and Huneault's murder allowed the Hells Angels to completely take over drug trafficking in Laval and the lower Laurentians area.

This is what I mean about dirty politics. First, they had the president of the Death riders shot dead. Before that they plotted with his own members for a take over. Two members of the Death riders were in on it and saw the murder of their president as an opportunity for their own advancement. That is as low as you can go. What do you think is going to happen when you build an organization with the kind of low lifes that betray their own to promote themselves? It’s a house of cards that is bound to collapse on itself simply because no lie can live forever.

Now for the crème dela crème. A while ago I reported that I went for lunch with a guy visiting Vancouver from Montreal. He said that a member of the Rock Machine told him that Mom Boucher had paid members of the Rock Machine to murder some of his own political rivals within the Hells Angles. That is what he said a member of the Rock Machine told him.

At first that sounds absurd, but look what happened right before he went to prison. Boucher was in and out of court for several years. He was acquitted then finally convicted for ordering the murder of two prison guards.

In the year 2000, his old buddy from the SS, Salvatore Cazzetta, left the Rock Machine, joined the Hells Angels and shortly thereafter became the president of the Montreal Hells Angels. Wow. That was before the Bandido massacre not after.

Salvatore wasn’t the only one that crossed over at that time. He had a brother named Giovanni who started the rock machine with him in 1989. Giovanni also crossed over and joined the Hells Angels with him. But that’s not all. Paul Porter and Sal Brunetti left the Rock Machine and joined the Hells Angels all at the same time: December 2000. Paul Porter leads the Ontario Nomads.

Brunetti was the leader of the Dark Circle, often described as the Rock Machine’s hit squad. Right before Mom Boucher goes to jail all these guys magically cross over to protect Mom’s interest in the organization. It makes ya wonder if they weren’t doing that all along. Clearly there is merit to the allegation that Mom Boucher paid members of the Rock Machine to kill his political rivals. That is his MO.

Two years ago Mom Boucher was stabbed in prison. He’s losing his grip. He looks rather ridiculous with bleach blond hair lifting bottled water as weights in prison. Kinda like one of the Beach boys having a mid life crisis. Next let’s talk about the Hells Angels support of Domenic Violi and the Calbrians in Hamilton.

Is Larry Amero doing business in Montreal?



Update: Larry Amero busted in Montreal

I was hesitant posting Larry Amero’s picture and a link to the story about him being spotted in Montreal because I know he’s been in hiding since he was shot in Kelowna with Jonathon Bacon. We knew he had contacts in Ottawa. Then we hear the leader of a Montreal gang that doesn’t want to buy drugs from the Hells Angels was shot dead and I started wondering. One blog reader claimed Greg Wooley, Mom Boucher’s poster puppet is still involved in the Montreal Drug trade. They even claim he slapped Wolley at a big meeting and confronted him at a club before he was shot. That would reinstill the fact that the Hells Angels are still very much involved in the Montreal drug trade. So what is Larry doing there?

Larry is the queen of deception. He has a long history of playing both sides. That is why he was shot in Kelowna. During the 2009 Vancouver gang war the UN and the Bacon brothers were arch enemies. Jamie Bacon is on trail for his involvement in the Surrey Six murder where two innocent bystanders were shot dead when the Bacon brothers took over the leadership of the Red Scorpions and made them a Hells Angels puppet club. There was another ruthless hit against a UN supporter where a mother was shot dead with her toddler in the car.

Consequently the Bacon brothers are hated in Surrey and despised by the UN. Nevertheless, the Hells Angels, Larry Amero, included, were at the same time playing the UN. They were caught doing business with them and playing both sides. They kept their support of the Bacon brothers a secret from the UN at the time.

Larry even let one of his ex’s, Sarah Trebble, who he shared a car lease with, ride with the UN when they did the hit on the Bacon brothers outside Tbarz which Randy Jones from the Hells Angels owns.

Needless to say, the UN were a bit surprised and a bit choked when Larry Amero came out of the closet with his relationship with Jonathon Bacon. We knew they were friends at the time, we just couldn’t prove it. We could only prove Larry’s friends were friends with Jonathon’s friends. Yet in Kelowna, they weren’t just caught meeting together. They were bragging about the Hells Angels support of the Bacon brothers driving around on that stupid Steroids and Silicone boat trying to pick fights with civilians on the water. No doubt Larry is playing the mob in Montreal while the rest of them are supporting the Violis in Hamilton. Buyer Beware. The Irish didn’t firebomb a funeral home.

Come to think of it, Larry Amero’s friend Jeremy Bettan who used to work for Larry’s “courier company” in Montreal was shot dead in Walnut Grove a while ago. I guess Larry has been doing business in Montreal for a while now.



Come to think of it, Larry Amero’s other friend, Randy Naicker was shot dead too. Working for Larry appears to be very risky business. Jonathon Bacon worked for Larry. He’s dead. Jeremy Bettan worked for Larry. He’s dead. Randy Naicker worked for Larry. He’s dead. I’m beginning to see a pattern. It doesn’t look like Larry’s very good at protecting his employees. He’s only good at playing both sides and covering his own ass. We’ll see how long it takes for the brothers in Quebec to see through that.

The Toronto Sun is confirming the story that the gang leader shot in Montreal had slapped Greg Wooley at a Hells Angels sponsored summit to unite all the gangs in North Montreal. Needless to say that a Hells Angels sponsored summit to unite all the drug dealers in North Montreal is a complete joke. They don’t want to unite them, they want to take them over. There’s a big difference. I think we should unite the gangs. We should unite the Haitians, the Irish and the Italians against the Hells Angels and their Nazi 666.

Sadly, the police’s response is to shake down all the members of the Bo-Gars and charge them with firearms offenses. That is an offensive waste of taxpayers money. Helping the Hells Angels take over the entire Montreal drug trade is not something the police should be doing. I realize they’re worried about retaliation. Yet we live in a cause and effect world. Searching the Bo-Gars for weapons and not the Syndicate is wrong. If you want peace on the streets you need to arrest Greg Wooley for murder and take him off the street. Helping promote his business is not the answer. Greg Wooley is still a puppet for the Hells Angles.

Kitchener, Ontario



Here’s a guy I hesitate to even mention, Dominico Esposito. He’s in a different league than Pat James entirely. He has a lot of respect on the street and I have to admit I have a lot more respect for him than most of the other clowns out there. He doesn’t ride a fully dressed Harley that looks like a goldwing. He rebuilt a rigid frame from ground up. Ya gotta respect that.

He doesn’t have facial tattoos and he doesn’t brag about bad ink. He’s quiet, polite and respectful yet they say it’s the quiet ones you have to watch out for. He has past history in Montreal and New York. He’s not one to cross and he gets the job done. Selling drugs in clubs is different than selling crack on the corner. The guy even overcame cancer. There’s a lot there to respect.

Yet there’s a lot to be concerned about too. He supports the Hells Angels and lives in Kitchener Ontario. So does that mean the Hells Angels in Kitchener support Domenic Violi in Hamilton? That is a huge concern. It is as they say, a conflict of interest.

I will tell you something about the Hells Angels. They are not honest. They are not trustworthy. They play both sides until the opportunity arises to stab a brother in the back to promote their own financial gain. We’ll talk about Mom Boucher’s past history as well as their support for the Violis.

1% Clubs forgot to grow up



The TBM guys send me this article about police issuing a warning about the Mongols in Norway claiming they aren’t just a motorcycle club and that they are in the business of selling drugs, extortion and robbery. The first thing I see is their group picture showing their colours giving the finger and I had to laugh.

When on earth are these guys going to grow up? These are grown men acting like juvenile kids. As we get older and raise kids, somewhere along the line we are supposed to grow up. Take on responsibility. Contribute to society. These 1% clone clubs just don’t get it. They never grew up.

Laura Szendrei murder trial under way



I haven’t heard anything in the news of late but last February it was announced that the trial for the suspect arrested for the murder of Laura Szendrei was scheduled to start August 13 2012 and run till October. First I want to say that her death is an absolute tragedy.

We need to separate the fact that her father wore Hells Angels support gear and that Hells Angels attended the funeral. We need to separate that completely from the case. A young girl was murdered. Beaten to death. Police say they don’t think victim knew the suspect which makes it even more tragic and bizarre. Someone just beats a young girl to death for no reason. Incomprehensible.

The moral of the story is that murder is a horrible thing. It is devastating for a whole family. I think it would be inherently offensive if some idiots started a free this murderer facebook group like they did for Matt Foley back east. I don’t see that happening because everyone here agrees this murder was horrible.

Some people get all upset because they claim the father threatened revenge in court. That is a pretty human thing to do. Those kinds of feelings are appropriate given the tragic nature of the situation. We need to set that aside too. It does however lead us to the concept of justice. They say where there is no justice, there will be no peace.

The legal consequence for murder in Canada is bad enough as it is. The fact that the kid was a young offender makes it worse. Even less time served. Thanks to Chuck Cadman and his work with CRY: Crime Responsibility Youth, young offenders can now be tried as adults in the case of serious crimes like murder. Clearly this suspect should be tried as an adult in this case.

There’s a publication ban on the kids name because he was a young offender at the time but there isn’t a publication ban on the motive and the sentence he will receive. That needs to be discussed.

The Surrey Leader is now reporting on the trial.

Pat James is a flaming idiot with bad ink



I’ve talked about this guy before but I really think it’s important to emphasize how much of an idiot and how ugly and stupid his eyes on the back of his head tattoo really is. It’s one thing to be an idiot but it’s another thing to brag about being an idiot. That shows the guy has no brains and no heart. Something you don’t really see every day.

One of the reason that the Bacon brothers are hated so much in Surrey is because they’re not from the hood. They’re a bunch of yuppies from the suburbs who were empowered by the Hells Angles to murder for money. They have no respect. They didn’t come from a broken home per say. Their brain dead parents were in on it.

Likewise, Pat James is this huckleberry hillbilly in the middle of nowhere who brags about being an idiot and bullies non drug dealing MCs in the middle of nowhere. Don’t get me wrong. I love small towns and I love enjoying nature in the distant corners of our vast country. Yet bullying a couple of seniors at a Tim Horton’s in the middle of nowhere screams loser.

Let’s emphasize how bad his ink really is. Getting tattoos of eyes on the back of your head is really dumb. It not only looks stupid, it looks ridiculous. Aside from that, it’s not very well done. Even one of his own “friends” thinks it looks crooked. Bragging about that bad ink by still using it as a facebook profile picture while he bullies other MCs in small towns wins him the flaming idiot of the year award. How old is this guy? Is he ever going to grow up?



Pat James is an active supporter of the free Matt the murderer campaign.

As soon as the Darksiders show up in Bridgewater a brothel gets busted and all the big city crime of Halifax starts getting imported to a small town. Pat James seems to be the one in charge of or actively involved in the Darkisdrers and the Wind Demozs bullying in Bridgewater. The Wind Demonz are harmless idiots indeed. The left overs that didn’t patch over to become Darksiders ride sports bikes and hang out at Tim Hortons. Losers in every sense of the word. Yet Annie potty mouth the trailer trash hussy from nowhere is actively involved in their disinformation campaign.

Let’s remember that Bacchus out of Halifax were caught selling drugs for the Hells angels in Prince Edward Island. Likewise, in Bridgewater, the head of the Darksiders is now facing drug charges. The bullshit never ends.



In 2009 Pat James was a striker for the East Coast Riders who patched over to become Bacchus in January 2010. So that means Pat James hasn’t been a member of Bacchus or the finger puppet club very long. He was a striker for the finger puppets when he was at least 41 years old. Don’t ya think someone that age should act it? He breeds dogs. I guess that’s why everyone calls him a dog fucker. A bizarre note is that Rusty Hall was from the East Coast Riders too. He and his wife were murdered the month after they patched over to Bacchus. So if Rusty’s murder was an inside job, who did it? What's the matter? Didn't Rusty want to sell crack?

Sadly, if you take Pat James, wipe off that stupid make up, turn him around and cover up those stupid eyes on the back of the head tattoo and that tacky green stripper on a pole tattoo, he looks human. He looks like a nice guy. Why on earth does he want to be a bully so bad and get involved with a criminal organization that sells crack and lives off the avails. How can any man with a daughter support turning other daughters into drug addicted prostitutes? That’s pretty heartless and short sighted. Sackville is better than that.

Punk Rockers Storm Church in Russia - Update



On the international scene, Russia slips back into the Dark Age after three members of a Russian punk rock band were sentenced to two years in prison after speaking out against Vladimir Putin. They were charged with hooliganism and religious hatred. I don’t know how a punk rock band got permission to play in a Russian cathedral but free speech is essential in any democratic society.

Lately there have been many protests in Russia against Vladimir Putin accusing him of voter fraud. Singing a "punk prayer" pleading with the Virgin Mary to save Russia from Vladimir Putin is not promoting religious hatred. Tyranny is. My only caution to my comrades in Russia is when they call for a revolution, be careful where that leads. You need a constitution guaranteeing democracy and free speech, not a Manifesto abolishing it.



Update: OK I’m going to have to weigh in here. I guess things aren’t always what they appear. Storming a church and holding a punk rock concert in it without permission is disrespectful. Many find punk rock disrespectful at the best of times. The lyrics in their red square performance were off the hook. Disrespectful is their mission statement. To highjack a church and force people there to listen to that is wrong.

Calling upon Mother Mary to be a feminist and support gay pride is an interesting concept. Yet someone will say I believe in gay pride while someone else will say I don’t believe in that. Likewise, someone will say I believe in God while someone else will say I don’t believe in that. We are all entitled to our own beliefs. How we express those beliefs can be right or wrong. Or in this case appropriate or inappropriate.

When I look at the antics of Pussy Riot, I have to say I don’t support them. Even the name pussy riot is offensive. What are you trying to do bring back Caligula and have that kind of a riot? Standing anywhere and screaming let’s have a riot is in itself problematic. Why do you want to a have a riot? There are laws framed against the instigation of a riot which would include vandalism and looting.

Free speech is a sacred right. Yet that doesn’t mean we have the right to prevent others from having their free speech or in this case worshiping who, how or what they may. Perhaps the reason Pussy Riot stormed a church is because when they performed in Red Square no one came to listen to them.

I saw this post in another forum and wanted to copy it before it was lost:

"Would you believe that Pussy Riot would be allowed to sing an anti-Putin song in the Red Square and get away with it? In fact, that's what they did on 20th January 2012. On the Red Square in broad daylight they played a nicely rousing song about 'KGB bitches' and 'Putin who is pissing his pants', and there was press around to take photos and video: http://pussy-riot.livejournal.com.nyud.net/8459.html and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqcmldeC7Ec

After that Red Square performance they were briefly detained by the police and then released. No trial, no conviction, no world outrage... nothing. So, next time their organizers have chosen another venue to make sure there would be headlines "Jailed for singing an anti-Putin song"... That's how public opinion is manufactured."

Another Oshawa Hells Angels drug ring busted



Project Kingfisher with the Durham police and the BEU has netted a full patch member of the Hells Angels and a whole ship load of prospects and associates trafficking cocaine in the Region that had ties to Toronto and Hamilton. Shawn Campbell is the Oshawa full patch member of the Hells Angels arrested. Michael Cudmore from a Hells Angles support club called the North End Crew in Hamilton was also arrested. We have more news coming about the Hells Angels connection to organized crime in Hamilton.

Two of the Oshawa associates were also charged with trafficking crack. All this drug debt violence connected to the Hells Angels in Oshawa and Pickerington has to make you wonder about the dungeon they found there not long ago. Here’s a picture of Shawn Campbell at the Don. Looks like he’s familiar with prison.



In 2007, Project Merlin netted 48 kilos of cocaine and twelve suspects including a full-patch member of the Hells Angels and a baggage handler at Pearson airport. Jeremy Brown, 30, a full-patch member of the Oshawa Hells Angels and Jason McGee, 28, an associate Hells Angels member were arrested in that bust.

We do remember the Hells Angels clubhouse in Oshawa was seized under criminal organization legislation. That seizure was upheld by the courts and the clubhouse was demolished as a result.

RCMP Harassment Meltdown



E-mail leaked to the press has revealed more tensions within the RCMP. We can debate whether or not private e-mail should be sent to the media, yet some of the concerns do need to be discussed not swept under the carpet.

First Staff Sgt. Tim Chad sent Commissioner Bob Paulson an e-mail claiming trust is missing between officers and senior managers, who are trying to create a new culture within the RCMP when only a few are to blame for its woes. "We are not all a bunch of screw-ups but it is evident we are all being lumped into that category and we are not valued and trusted," he wrote in an email in July. Chad also said the RCMP senior executive committee is pursuing changes to benefits without proper consultation with employees. "We are being paid lip service and this is of grave concern," he wrote.

Paulson responded by suggesting that Chad is "living under a rock" if he thinks that the RCMP does not require an "all hands on deck" approach to restoring the public's trust. "Wake up Man, this organization is at risk," he wrote. Tim Chad is correct in that not all RCMP officers are screw ups. Yet to say that only a few are to blame for it’s woes is somewhat of an understatement. Paulson’s response is right on the money. It’s a huge problem not just one or two bad apples and fixing that problem is going to require an all hands on deck approach.

Complaining about changes to benefits without consultation is a Union issue. Oh but wait, there is no Union. People can argue for or against Unions until the cows come home. We do however need to separate the concerns of pay and benefits from ongoing harassment.

Next, Peter Kennedy, a 30 year veteran from the North Vancouver detachment steps up to the plate. Kennedy writes Paulson and complains “I find your reply to him aggressive, insulting, arrogant, condescending and immature.”

“All S/Sgt. CHAD was trying to tell you, there is a trust issue between management and its members. They are not being engaged. A man asking for a little understanding and help, was bullied by the very person who is supposed to help not only him but all of us. Then he throws in a dig comparing Paulson to an angry teenager. Not very respectful either. So hold the door.

Kennedy goes on a rant about how big the problem is as he’s defending Chad who complained we not all screw ups it’s only a few bad apples. So which is it? Is it a huge problem or a small problem? Many people are involved or just a few? That is a rather large contradiction. I think everyone agrees it’s a huge problem. Clearly Paulson is not wrong for admitting that and saying Chad is living under a rock if he thinks it isn’t.

When Paulson calls for a change in attitude, Kennedy believes it should start at the top, noting that “most of the problem with these harassment investigations is the fact that they were handled by what is now your management team.”

I agree the problem seems to be coming from the top down. Mangers who investigate allegations of harassment and not caring or doing anything to stop it. I also agree that fixing the problem is going to require an all hands on deck approach. Somehow we need to rise above the management rank and file rift.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I think two things need to change. First is the obvious. People like Don Ray and Jim Brown need to be fired. Period. We can talk all the flower power we want but until we actually do that all those words are meaningless. Second, Depot needs to change. In that order.

How do we change a longstanding command culture of harassment if we don’t beging at the beginning: basic training. There is no need for new recruits to be verbally harassed at depot any more. I understand the intent. I haven’t been involved with the police but I have been involved with a similar kind of training. The intent was to screen out bad apples who weren’t able to put up with the abuse. Clearly that objective has failed. The bad apples have entered in. In reality all it has really taught is that there is a time and place for everything including abuse. It teaches abuse is OK when it is not.

You can have a physically demanding training without the verbal abuse. You can train recruits to have strong self images to serve and protect people including coworkers from harassment by building up their self image and their self respect. Self respect is essential. Arrogance is not. People who harass others lack self respect. Clearly all that training has failed to provide that essential life skill. Depot needs to change right after Jim Brown and Don Ray are fired. Until that happens nothing will change no matter how hard we try to sweep the problem under the carpet.

There is a heritage worth preserving and protecting. It’s all about service. It’s all about good versus evil. It’s all about taking the higher road less travelled and being true to a principle. True North. Strong and Free. It's about protecting our home. It's about protecting the people in our home. It’s like a scene in the movie Shake hands with the devil. One of the Rwandan leaders explains to the Canadian general that he’s trying to save his country. The general responds and what is that? Those mountains? Those trees? He can’t save his country without saving the people in it.

Pseudo: Blood of Our Own



I saw the movie Pseudo at Empire theatre today. They were showing it as part of a substance abuse seminar for youth so I thought I’d check it out. It was very well done. I found it very disturbing and it successfully drove the point home that gang life is not a happy life at all.

It was very violent and gory but also went in depth into the families of four youth who got involved in the gang life and what happened to them as a result. The movie instills the betrayal for money that permeates that game so to speak. Yet when murder is involved it is no longer a game.

It also drives home the fact that being a murderer isn’t something good and isn’t something I want to be. It certainly adds a taste of reality to shatter the graven image that murder is somehow cool. Which brings us back to Matt Foley and the free the murderer campaign. It’s heartless and foolish. It minimizes the act of murder and rationalizes it which is clearly not the godly path to repentance.

I do believe there is a path to repentance for anyone who wants to leave the gang life behind. The key word is “leave” that life behind. It begins with accepting responsibility for ones actions and legitimately feeling remorse for how those actions have hurt others and their families. That is something the free Matt the murderer campaign refuses to do. They live in the selfish world of the not so happy bunny who jokingly says it’s all about me. That is not the path to peace and enlightenment.

I was recently corresponding with a blog reader who said they had over come a substance addiction. A significant accomplishment indeed. During their recovery they said they made a table on a blackboard. One side had the heading Religion. The other side had the heading Spirituality. They were then instructed to write down words on one side that came to mind when they thought about religion and on the other side write down words that came to mind when they thought about spirituality.

They said, under the heading of religion it was filled with negative words and images that were unfortunately associated with religion while the other side was filled with positive words that came to mind when reflecting upon spirituality. I found that profound.

The term religion often leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth. To some extent it does for me as well. Yet the term spirituality doesn’t tend to invoke the same negative images. When I think of spirituality I think of a private and personal communion with deity. I think of enjoying the outdoors, from the mountains to the sea. I think of Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance.

Without trying to offend the sincere atheists on the blog, I do believe that atheism falls under the freedom of religion. Not to say that atheism is a religion but rather the right to believe or not believe what one chooses falls under the freedom of religion.

I am told that the 12 steps of AA begin with a belief in God or a higher power. I think all of us need to aspire to something higher. Be that a higher power, be that God, be that a higher ideal or just something better. We need something to look forward to. Where there is no vision, the people will perish.

When we see something that is clearly wrong, aspiring to something better is a positive and healthy response. In fact aspiring to a higher ideal is something even atheists can do without disrupting their own mission statement. Ironically, many of them already do simply because they believe in their heart it is right, not because they believe they will get some kind of reward for it. To do good without thought of reward is what most religions are supposed to be about.

Leaving the gang life is good because that life destroys lives and hurts others.

Woman’s head and foot found in river near Toronto



A group of hikers found the bare right foot severed from the ankle down Wednesday in the Credit River near Hewick Meadows Park in Mississauga, Ont., a popular spot for family walks in the quiet residential neighborhood. The police marine unit found a female severed head Thursday in the same location.

Friday afternoon police found two hands, a left and a right. "The likelihood of it being the same person is, common-sense wise, probably pretty high," said Sgt. Pete Brandwood of Peel Regional Police.



DNA testing has confirmed that the body parts found in Mississauga and Toronto in recent days belong to Hua Guang Liu,41, of Scarborough. Police have no suspect, no motive and don't even have a cause of death yet they are "sure" it was targeted and was not a random attack.

Hua Guang Liu worked at a body rub parlour for a year before leaving to start her own business. The media reported she was to meet someone about selling her spa before she was killed.

Matt Foley sentenced to 10 years for murder



Ten years for murder. Less mandatory statutory release after two thirds of the sentence means 6 years, 8 months for murder. That in itself is a crime. We know it wasn’t manslaughter because he was seen on video going back for more ammunition then going back to finish the job. Shooting up the whole neighborhood in the process. Aside from murder it was also reckless endangerment of all the families on the street.

This was the president of a Hells Angels puppet club in New Brunswick called Bacchus who shot a guy he had beef with outside their clubhouse because he couldn’t take him in a fight. I’ve talked about the incident and I’ve talked about the offensive insanity of the free the murderer campaign. My position is unchanged. He should be hanged. Taking the Lord’s name in vain is offensive. His children cried in court asking God to give them their father back. What about the family of the guy he killed? Their father took something from them that can never be replaced. Using God’s name in vain to help a murderer get away with murder is Satanic.

It’s like that Hells Angles associate caught with all the date rape drug in Toronto. He cried in court. What about the tears of all the victims that were raped from the drugs he sold? These cry babies don’t care about that. They only care about themselves. That is why he should be hanged. So people see there really is a consequence to murder. Clearly their free the murderer campaign shows they have no conscience. The consequence of the law is the only thing that will restrain their murderous hearts.

England threatens military intervention to get Wiki leaks founder



Extradition treaties are negotiated between sovereign states. England wants to bypass that and go straight to military intervention just so they can get their greedy little mitts on Wiki leaks founder Julian Assange. It reminds me of when they used military intervention to destroy a prison in Iraq when two British agents murdered allied police officers at a checkpoint.

MI6 lied about Iraq’s WMD. They send in two under cover agents dressed as Arabs in a car loaded with weapons and explosives. A Police checkpoint think it looks suspicious. Instead of stopping for the checkpoint the two agents fired on them and killed allied police officers. They were later apprehended and charged with murder. They said they were on a secret mission and couldn’t tell them what it was. Instead of their superiors telling them what the secret mission was, they used military intervention to destroy the prison and help them escape to avoid trial.

Now they want to use military intervention to get Julian Assange. I take all sexual assault allegations very seriously but these allegations are highly suspicious and there is A) No way Assange is going to get a fair trial and B) No way they should be allowed to torture him in a black prison site. That is wrong. So is military intervention to extradite him.

Father turns to youtube to raise funds for son’s cancer treatment



Sympatico news just ran an article about a father who makes a heart warming video trying to raise money for his son’s cancer treatment. The father sings Let it Be from the Beatles to raise money for his son’s treatment. Ya gotta feel for the guy. Yet there is a point I have to make.

After Mitt Romney recently offended England and Palestinians with offensive and just plain dumb statements, he just chose a running mate that has done the same thing to Canada. Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's new running mate said he likes Canada but not it’s health care system. He says our health care system is "old, unreliable and obsolete."

I will be the first person to admit our health care system needs help. The wait times are excessive. Emergency ward wait times are archaic. Yet everything in the emergency ward is prioritized. If it’s a life threatening emergency, you are seen right away. It it’s not life threatening, you have to take a number and wait. Sometimes a very long time.

Yet here we have a guy who has a job. He’s a public defender. If I’m not mistaken, that means he's a lawyer. Yet he has to make a public appeal for money to pay for his sons cancer treatment. What about everyone else who’s appeal doesn’t make the papers? Compared to that system, our health care doesn’t look so bad after all. Theirs is the one that looks not only archaic but heartless. Republicans want to lynch Obama because he wants affordable medical. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Another money laundering connection to Bandera Gold



We remember hearing about Kelvin Williams, Russel James Renneberg and George Salazar Barnett from Bandera Gold getting arrested in Mexico for fraud and charged with money laundering for the UN gang. The police report even mentioned Elliot Castaneda "Taco" and Ahmet Kaawach who we all know locally to be members of the UN gang who were gunned down in Mexico.

Well now there’s another link to Bandera gold and money laundering. Pablo Antonio Fitch Parente is listed on the Kingpin Act as a money launder for Rigoberto Gaxiola Medina’s drug network. The drug network had a tunnel going in to Nogales, Arizona from Mexico. Pablo is also mentioned in Bandera Gold’s report as the beneficial owner of the Consuelo and Lucerito properties. We also found a contract about Cinco Minas concessions between George Barnett and Pablo Antonio Fitch Parente.

Brandon, Manitoba Drug Busts



Speaking of the Hells Angels drug trade, let’s take a look at Brandon, Manitoba. Billy Bowden's from Brandon. They killed his friend from LHS and told him to suck it up or be a target so they could give the Thompson drug trade to the Ontario village idiots. That's what set the gang war off in Winnipeg.

Well here’s a picture of two locals from Brandon. Tyler Cairns and Ron Hather. Ron is the one on the right in the support vest that says B-Town Thugs. He was charged with trafficking cocaine back in 2008 along with several others.

Interesting to note that on July 6 2012 a suspect was taken into custody regarding the Canada Day shooting in Brandon. The guy riding with him car was caught with a gram of crack and heroin. He was released on a promise to appear.

Two grow ops worth $1.3 grow op were recently busted in Western, Manitoba. There appears to be a local shake down on the drug trade and people of interest are MIA.

Montreal gang leader murdered



Chenier Dupuy, leader of a north Montreal street gang called Bo-Gars, was shot and killed Friday night. Maria Mourani, a Quebec criminologist and Bloq MP said "Either what happened was a power struggle inside the Bo-Gars or it's an attack by their adversaries,"

Indeed. Let’s see who some of their enemies might be. The Bo-Gars wear red and align themselves with the bloods. The crack down posse wear blue and align themselves with the crips. Crips and Bloods are arch enemies.

We know that Mom Bucher recruited Greg Wooley and made him a member of the Rockers (not Rock Machine) who in turn started the Syndicate and supplied all the crips in Montreal with cocaine. A White Supremacist using a brother to sell drugs. Many locals took offense and the Bo-Gars were born. Clearly, the struggle continues.

The Hells Agnels have been implicated in this murder as well.

Bridgewater RCMP officer charged with sexual assault



Wow. After three days in custody, a Bridgewater RCMP officer has been released from jail into the care of his mother. The officer must live in Ontario except when he has to attend court. He is not allowed back in the province without contacting the special team investigating the allegations against him.

The man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the complainant, is charged with assault, sexual assault and uttering threats between Dec. 1, 2010, and Aug. 7, 2012. He has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the case.

From Delta to Bridgewater. What on earth is going on?

Planetary Alignment



I knew there was a meteor shower last night but I didn’t realize there was another planetary alignment. I was up before sunrise this morning and saw two bright starts lined up on either side of the crescent moon which appeared to be lining up with where the sun was preparing to rise. With an orange horizon above the mountains, it was a pretty awesome sight.

It reminded me of the night a few months ago when Venus was supposed to be lining up with one of the planets. We’re sitting on top of Holyburn ridge watching the sun set. I’m like, Venus is easy to find because it’s the first star you see on the horizon right above the setting or rising sun. Only that night we didn’t see it. We saw something a bit further up in the sky aligned with the moon.

OK so according to Sky and Telescope dot com it looks like I saw Venus and Jupiter lined up with the moon. Looks like the same thing will happen tomorrow morning too. In a week it looks like Mercury will be seen closer to the horizon lined up with Venus.

People get all freaked out with the Planetary alignment that some speculate coordinates with the Mayan calendar at the end of the year but planetary alignments happen all the time and the sky doesn’t fall. It is cool to see though.

David Giles pleads guilty to DUI



And one for the road. David the rusty vibrator Giles, also known as Skeletor, has been pretty quiet lately. Other than the DUI we heard he was charged with back in August 2010. Turns out he recently plead guilty, was fined $1,000, prohibited from driving for a year and ordered to pay a victims surcharge fee of $150.

I’m not sure what the victim surcharge is about. I thought he was just seen weaving down the road like a drunk after he escaped from the loony bin. Perhaps there’s more to it. Prohibited from driving for a year is a bitch. Although I doubt he’ll be driving much longer. No doubt one of his nurses from the seniors’ home will be happy to give him a ride after his rub down.

Don't forget everyone, if you see him behind the wheel, dial 911.

Three Bandidos arrested in Berlin Bomb Plot



TBM Fresh Start, the organization of former gang members out of Denmark is reporting that Three Bandidos (2 danish and 1 swedish) have been arrested in Germany on their way to Berlin to plant a bomb for a former Bandido, who crossed over to become a member of the Hells Angels in Berlin. We had heard about some Bandidos in Berlin crossing over. So much for loyalty. It’s all about the money. Betrayal and greed.

Here’s an English version of the story.

Hey, TBM have their own blog.

Meth lab busted in East Van



Two arrests were made at the infamous Balmoral Hotel dive in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside after VPD raided a drug lab. The Vancouver Province is reporting that people are under the impression it was a meth lab and that everyone could smell the chemicals from across the street.

We know the last set of meth labs the OMGU raided before last Christmas were run by bikers which in BC means the Hells Angels. We know that the Hells Angels had a large meth lab in Kelowna a while back which was a major production point for the Okanagan.

We know that Greg Domley, the president of the Salem Hells Angels who was also the East coast president has been incarcerated for trafficking meth in Massachusetts. The Hells Angels were bringing crystal meth from California to Massachusetts. So I wonder who was ultimately running the meth lab in the Balmoral? Crystal meth is a very damaging drug. It’s made with Drano and several other highly toxic chemicals and really messes you up.

Goldman Sachs caught committing fraud again



I finally tuned in to the Lang and O’Leary Exchange last night. It was filled with news about bank fraud here, bank fraud there. It was astounding. Goldman Sachs has been caught committing fraud again but the SEC aren’t going to press charges.

Why is that? Because they are Obama’s largest campaign contributors? Or is it because Henry Paulson, the former CEO of Goldman Sachs became the US treasury secretary under George W. Bush. Maybe because Don Regan, former Merrill Lynch CEO was caught on video telling president Ronald Reagan to hurry up as seen on Michael Moore’s movie Capitalism a Love story.

So Goldman Sachs gets caught committing fraud again and the SEC doesn’t press chargers. What good are they then? Why do they prosecute the small fish but not the big fish. That doesn’t solve anything. It is a colossal conflict of interest when criminals take high places in government and become the president’s largest campaign contributors. Clearly they are getting away with murder.

The ironic thing about the Lang and O’Leary Exchange is Kevin O'Leary’s heartless capitalism. Amanda Lang points out the obvious conflict of him doing business with Communist China in one of their commercials. He boldly responds with I’m a great Communist as long as I can make a buck off of it. Realizing that it was the big banks and large corporations that funded the communist revolution in the first place, that statement is all too true. The rich criminals took over the social revolution to make sure it wouldn’t happen.

Since we were just talking about commodities fraud they reported that Germany has stopped trading some commodities and asked if that was a wise step for other countries to follow since it has shown to over inflate the price of goods. What a great idea.

Then they talked about how JP Morgan was being sued again for fraud. Last year they paid a $153 million settlement to answer charges that it defrauded investors who bought mortgage securities sold just before the nation's housing market collapsed. They sold a collateralized mortgage obligation in 2007 to ensure that it could get credit-scarred mortgage securities off its books.

Turns out in this new case they are being sued by the second largest bank in Israel. Don’t get me started on the banks in Israel. When I was around 20 I went on a working holiday around the world. I toured Egypt, worked on a kibbutz in Israel. It was awesome. That was before everyone and their dog had a credit card. Back then I didn’t have a credit card I had mutual funds. My parents would withdraw some of my money for me and wire it to me wherever I was.

When I arrived in Israel they said the bank told them they wouldn’t wire money into Israel and that it was one of the few countries they wouldn’t do it in. I was socked. Why on earth not? They implied some kind of problem with corruption. I thought that was nonsense. Israel is safe and technologically advanced proceed with the money wire.

Unfortunately it wasn’t as easy as that. It’s a good thing I was working on a kibbutz that paid for my room and board. Each week on my day off I would call the bank and ask if the money transfer was in yet and each week I got the same answer, no not yet. This went on for a ridiculous amount of time and I started getting suspicious. My parents confirmed that they had sent the wire long ago.

I asked them to get all the details, date, transaction number and so forth. After they sent that to me I contacted the bank and got the same answer. No it’s not here yet. I was upset and said are you sure? Because this is the day it was sent on, this is the transaction number and this is the day it was received by your banks. Oh Mr. such and such. Yes here it is. It’s been here all along waiting for you. Why haven’t you come by to pick it up? I said I’ve been calling every week and you said it wasn’t there.

Vancouver's Ancestral Spirit



Still several stories to catch up on but I’m going to pause and restate the obvious. You don’t have to be a tree hugging vegan to care about the environment or to love your home. I rode out to the north shore last night and as I was crossing the second narrows bridge it felt like I was entering the holy land. Seymour to the right, then Grouse, then Cypress, with the Lions tucked in between, then Horseshoe bay. The mountains, the water. It’s all very peaceful. Ambleside. Lighthouse park.

When I was at the Vancouver Occupy I met a girl from Ireland. As we stood talking a tourist came up to us and asked where we were from. I said I’m from Surrey but she’s from the Holy Land. The lady nodded and said ah, Israel. I squinted and said no, Ireland. It depends on where you’re from as to what’s holy. A lot of people refer to Ireland as the holy land. Yet I keep saying that this land is our home now and that makes it holy too. In more ways than one. First because it’s our home. Second because of the vast nature that engulfs us.

I stopped at White cliff for the sunset. Climbed down to the beach and there were two young guys sitting on a bench playing guitar. Now that’s what I’m talking about I said as I walked past. It was awesome. I pulled out the camera and took a video clip as one of them started playing Wish You were Here by Pink Floyd. You can barely hear the guitar and singing in the background but it doesn’t get any better than that.

Then I rode over to third Beach at Stanley Park passed the Pauline Johnson memorial near Siwash Rock. Quite, peaceful, small groups with lanterns on the beach at night. It was awesome. No doubt Kelowna is awesome on the beach at night too. That reminds me, I do have another Kelowna tale to tell.

Prospect Point has changed. That big wind storm took out several trees right on the coast and now you can actually see the water from there. There was a line up of trailers parked in Stanley Park just past Prospect Point. Who knows what they’re filming now but it’s nice to see the film industry active here. I remember Theatre in the Park and Baird on the Beach. Passed by 2nd Beach and remembered the huge bamboo in the forest between Lost Lagoon and 2nd Beach. It’s easy to miss. I remember flying two string kites at Vanier park and taking the passenger ferry to Granville Island.

If someone owns a home and they put a plot of time and effort into landscaping it, no one would then want someone to dump a load of garbage on their lawn. Protecting the environment isn’t just for eco terrorists. Protecting the environment is like protecting your children. Failing to do so is irresponsible. Vancouver is not as nice as Rio but it’s all we have. We need to be good stewards of that which has been entrusted to us.

The Ron Paul Revolution Lives



I’m driving home from the grocery store today and I look up and see the car in front of me has this large bumper sticker that says Ron Paul Revolution. I smile and look up and there’s another large bumper sticker above it that says Infowars.com. Beside that is another large bumper sticker that says 9-11 was an Inside Job. Even the frame to hold the license plate said infowars.com.

I was gonna honk and give the big thumbs up but when I pulled up beside the car it was a hot young girl driving so I just drove off not wanting to look like a pedophile. I will say it was nice to see. There is nothing more attractive then a woman with a brain and an opinion. There is nothing more inspiring than seeing educated youth willing to stand up for their beliefs. Maybe there’s hope for this world after all. The Vancouver 9/11 Truth Movement have an information booth outside the Vancouver Art Gallery on the 11th of each month from around noon to dusk.

Turns out you can buy Ron Paul Revolution T-shirts. He has a popular blog too.

One of his critics, Paul Constant at The Stranger likened Ron Paul to an "ancient high-school civics teacher" who "puffs up" at the notion of the Constitution as a "living document.” Holy crack pipes batman, what does Paul Constant think the constitution is, a dead document? Now that is sad. Clearly we do need a Ron Paul Revolution to support, sustain and preserve the sacred Constitution.

You can get Ron Paul Revolution bumper stickers and shirts at Cafe Press.

Delta cop sued over sexual assault



I saw this in the paper and thought it was bizarre. Another cop accused of a sexually related offense. Wonderful. When you say the word sexual assault the first thing that comes to my mind is what do you mean – grabbing an ass or actual rape because there’s a huge difference. Don’t get me wrong, grabbing someone’s ass is totally inappropriate. It’s just very different than rape.

This case involves the accusation that there were multiple sexual assaults. The Vancouver Province is reporting that an outside police investigation found that allegations of corrupt practice, discreditable conduct and neglect of duty against Robert Wesley Johnston had been proven. Johnston has been suspended without pay since March 23, 2011.

Now the officer is being sued by the victim in civil court. The writ claims there were several sexual assaults, one of which Johnston allegedly committed on Jones at a Delta police office on Annacis Island, after arranging to have another officer stand guard outside at the time. Here’s the confusing part. The other officer stood guard while he had consensual sex or committed rape because there is a huge difference. To think that he stood guard while the other officer committed rape is astounding. That would involve more than discipline, it would involve criminal charges.

It all started when the officer responded to a domestic abuse call when he told the victim if the man bothers her again she can call him. It’s hard to imagine any cop would go into a domestic abuse situation and commit rape. It is conceivable he could have become too emotionally involved in the case.

I am most certainly not claiming the victim wanted to be raped. That is the whole problem with our complaint process. I’m just trying to figure out what really happened because these are very serious allegations. A police officer committing rape is serious. A police officer was accused of raping another female officer during the security for the Vancouver Olympics.

The Delta officer was accused of showing another officer a naked picture of the victim on the phone that the victim sent him because he asked her to. He asked her to send him a picture of her naked and she did. OK so what’s up with that? Did he blackmail her into so doing or did she willingly send it to him?

Clearly, the number of inappropriate sexually related activities involving the police lately has revealed the force to be a very unprofessional outfit. That in itself does need to be dealt with. Yet raping someone is off the hook. If that is the case, then criminal charges need to be laid. One has to wonder if she had an affair with the officer and ended up deciding to go back to her abusive boyfriend.

Meanwhile back on the ranch, two Vancouver Police officers are being investigated will face an external investigation into allegations they neglected their duty by failing to warn a Surrey murder victim she was at risk of being killed.

On Nov. 22, 2005, 21-year-old Tasha Rosette was discovered by her sister stabbed to death, five days after a confidential informant told police her boyfriend claimed he intended to kill the young woman, who was four months pregnant with his child and had a three-year-old daughter.

Const. Craig Bentley, working with the gang unit at the time, received the tip and told his supervisor Staff Sgt. John Grywinski, but the two decided to continue investigating it before notifying Rosette. I’m not sure why they would delay in issuing the warning. Normally the gang task force is very prompt with that.

This week Frank Bucholtz from the Surrey Leader wrote about how the sentence handed down to former RCMP Cpl. Benjamin Monty Robinson is a disgrace. He’s the cop that was involved with the airport taser incident and then killed a 21 year old motorcyclist a year later in a motor vehicle accident where he had been drinking. He bragged about getting off of a DUI by leaving the scene and taking some shots. He did exactly that and Frank Bucholtsz is right. The sentence he received is a disgrace.

Five from Surrey accused of major stock scheme



Well, it looks like Surrey criminals are moving up in the world and setting their sights on bigger pies in the stock market. Deregulation opens the door to stock fraud. To protect our pensions from criminals we need to reexamine deregulation.

The provincial securities regulator is alleging five people manipulated share prices of a company and profited by $7 million in the scheme. The company is OSE Corp, an Ontario company, whose shares are traded on the TSX-V and has a head office in Delta. This corporation is involved in the exploration and production of oil and gas in Ontario (Canada) and in Texas and Montana (USA). Seemingly it was another fake oil and gas company involved in the same old pump and dump. Those people bought the $2 stock that was just about worthless. It's trading now for eight cents. History continues to repeat itself.

Stock Fraud watcher David Baines from the Vancouver Sun has written about it.

State securities regulators around the country warn that oil and gas investment scams are alive and well. High oil prices have created a heightened interest in investments in energy-related business ventures. As more and more people invest in oil and gas securities, the likelihood of oil and gas fraud scams goes up dramatically. Fast talking brokers can trick investors into putting their money in non-existent companies or into buying overpriced stocks.

Clearly criminals are very much involved in the stock market. This is what's creating financial crisis in Greece and around the world, not the desire for affordable housing and affordable medical.

Texas sees spike in oil and gas fraud

Financial Crimes Report to the Public



The fraud is two fold. First we have individuals price fixing fake or over inflated pump and dump stocks. Then we have the huge banks and corporations like Goldman Sachs doping the same thing on a much larger scale going unpunished.

It’s also related to the creation of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) in 2000. It is outside the US and operates free from the constraints of US laws. The exchange was set up to facilitate "dark pool" trading in the commodities markets. Billions of dollars are being placed on oil futures contracts at the ICE and the beauty of this scam is that they NEVER take delivery, per se. They just ratchet up the price with leveraged speculation using your TARP money. This year alone they ratcheted up the global cost of oil from $40 to $80 per barrel.

One blog reader related it to the NASDAQ water index‏. Criminals inflating the price of commodities just because they can make a buck off it at the public’s expense. I’ve heard of the water crimes blog but it’s a bit hard for me to follow. The bottom line is this commodity exchange scam is bleeding us dry.

The Global Oil Scam: 50 Times Bigger than Madoff

Whale Wars and the G20



Yesterday a friend at work told me the police are looking for a Canadian Activist. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that would you? An activist? What did the guy do, oppose Harpers Communism? He smiled, nodded and said when he heard they were looking an activist I was the first person he thought of.

Turns out they are looking for an environmentalist featured on the Whale Wars TV series who used to work with the Canadian coast guard in Vancouver. Obviously, I don’t support violence. If anyone uses violence to enforce their political views they should be held accountable to the law. Yet the founding fathers used violence to uphold their political views. That’s what the American Revolution was all about. OK that was different, but was it really?

Blowing up oil pipelines full of oil would be very wrong. God knows those dirty piplene are leaking enough on their own. I think we’d be hard pressed to find an environmentalist who would do such a thing. Blow up a pipeline to damage the environment. Blowing up a pipeline before it’s finished perhaps but not when it’s full of oil. That would defeat the purpose of protecting the environment. Don’t forget, Greenpeace all started in Vancouver. We do care about the environment here.

Yet the activist Interpol is looking for has been accused of using violence in the whaling industry to protect the whales. What kind of violence? Is he shooting people? No, he’s throwing things on the decks of whalers and throwing things in the water to screw up their propellers. Well that’s not really violence. Now Interpol is on a man hunt as though he was some kind of terrorist. I’m actually surprised they used the term activist not terrorist. Being an activist isn’t a bad thing. It’s a charter right and a moral duty.

Captain Paul Watson reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow. Big Brother claims he calls himself a captain even though he isn’t licensed as such. Wait till I tell ye, if he is on a vessel and he is in charge of it, he is it’s captain.

Interpol saying they are looking for a Canadian activist is a bad precedent. It implies they are looking for someone because of their political views which clearly crosses the line. Likewise, a group of protestors from the G20 summit in Toronto are suing the Toronto Police for politically profiling them and unlawful arrest.

Although parts of the statement of claim sound a bit strange, the whole idea of political profiling is a very real concern. Harper kicking out that university student from one of his rallies because she posted a picture of herself with some other candidates on facebook is a prime example. Warrantless surveillance and the Vicki Leaks bill that gives the police power to spy on someone who isn’t accused of committing a crime is another.

The G20 summit in Toronto was a huge concern that was plagued by extremism. One one hand we saw trouble makers vandalizing and looting. That was wrong and upsetting. There was a great video clip posted on youtube where a concerned citizen tackled a kid who stole some dvds from a store and returned the dvds telling the kid not to steal. It was priceless.

Unfortunately, the next day the police kicked the cat and started arbitrarily arresting people who were not seen committing acts of violence but were politically profiled and arrested for lawful assembly which is a huge concern. Protesting with a sign is a sacred right. Vandalizing and looting is not. It really is that simple.

Letting the police or the government politically profile people is a huge concern. First they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the environmentalists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t an environmentalist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak up.

Blackwater still doing dirty business



Today the Vancouver Province is reporting that Training Canadians costly for Blackwater. Guess what. Blackwater is still training Canadian soldiers. In 2011 $2.4 million Canadian tax dollars were spent on mercenary training at the privatized military institution with a very bad reputation. So bad they had to change their name. Three times.

First it was Blackwater. They acquired a very bad reputation in Iraq and Afghanistan for killing civilians as well as arms dealing. They claimed that because they were military the civil or criminal courts couldn’t touch them for war crimes. At the same time they argued that since they were civilians, the military could not discipline them either. After the founder, Eric Prince was accused of murdering whistleblowers he changed the name of the company to Xe and moved to the United Arab Emirates. Now he's still operating under another name and still sucking up Canadian tax dollars. That is criminal.
