The murder of Michael Hastings

Michael Hastings was an award wining investigative journalist who wrote for the Rolling Stone magazine. In 2010 one of his hard hitting articles resulted in the resignation of General Stanley McChrystal who was the NATO commander serving in Afghanistan. June 18 2013 Michael Hastings died in a fiery car crash. We can talk about the suspicious nature of the crash all we want. Clearly if someone was trying to kill him they could have tampered with his car and put a bomb in it.

The indisputable fact is that he sent out an e-mail to numerous contacts hours before his death saying he was tipped off to an FBI investigation and that any of his journalistic sources should seek legal representation before answering any questions which still is a constitutional right. Knock on wood.

We can spend hours arguing about the suspicious nature of his death. To me that is pointless. We all know the people who killed him will never be charged and tried. In his e-mail he claims he was working on a big story and needed to go under the radar. Those were his words not mine. The thing we need to ask therefore is what story was he working on. Alex Jones claims it was about the CIA.

People can huff and puff about Alex Jones just like they huffed and puffed about Gary Webb. Gary Webb was right. The CIA was responsible for the US crack epidemic in the 1980’s. I don’t believe he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head twice after he documented everything in his book the Dark Alliance.

The CIA's drug trafficking history has been well established. They are a criminal organization with no public accountability. The sad thing is how their corruption is taking over other agencies as well like the FBI and the ATF. We saw how the ATF was involved in Operation Fast and Furious. That too was under the watchful eye of the CIA.

When it comes to the struggle between good versus evil, the CIA is on the wrong side. I’m not saying all hail mother Russia. I’m saying the CIA is no better than the KGB. In fact that is exactly where the CIA is trying to take us. The road to Bilderberg leads to the Rothschilds' funding of Corporate Communism. Despite their rage and denial, that is where the CIA is trying to take us with their drug trafficking network.

The fact is Michael Hastings is dead and we need to uncover the story he was working on. Actually it was Paul Watson and the LA weekly that said he was working on a story about the CIA. The New York Daily News quoted one of his books claiming Hastings had received multiple death threats before his "accident."

Flooding in Calgary

It’s hard to imagine even parts of downtown Calgary has flooded with four possible fatalities. Usually with melting snowcaps we get warnings that the river is rising. Evidently the problem this time was so much rain in such a short period of time. Amazing. Here's a video clip from Global.



Update: The flood waters are starting to recede.

Dustin Zimmerman, Cliff Montgomery and Glen Hehn

One source claims that Dustin Zimmerman, one of the people arrested in the recent Kelowna Regina cocaine ring, is an associate of Cliff Montgomery. They claim that he lives in Cliff’s house in West Kelowna and does business at Cliff’s other house in Merrit. As we know, Montgomery was charged in that Kelowna cocaine bust where 75 kilos of cocaine was found in a fruit grinder. Those charges against Montgomery were mysteriously dropped last year.

The reason the Dustin Zimmerman and Cliff Montgomery connection is so significant is because another source claims Cliff Montgomery is connected to full patch Hells Angel Glen Hehn. Glen Hehn was caught red handed loading 52 kilos if cocaine from his storage locker into a truck in Surrey but Peter Leask let him off after an associate pled guilty and took the fall.

More recently, another one of Glen Hehn’s associates was in the news. Sulaiman Safi was kidnapped by members of the Independent Soldiers because some money he was supposed to launder in California went missing. Sulaiman Safi shared a car lease with Glen Hehn. Another source claims that when Cliff Montgomery was on a trip to Mexico, Glen Hehn was in daily cell phone contact with him. As I've said before, Glen Hehn is no Surrey Girl. Glen Hehn is scary.

Levamisole: Flesh Eating Cocaine

With the recent Regina Kelowna cocaine bust one blog reader commented on the cutting agents the police found. It didn’t say what the cutting agent was but they sent me a few links on common cutting agents used in cocaine to water it down to make more money.

Everyone knows that cocaine is stepped on or cut with other chemicals to stretch it allowing the drug dealers to make more money. One of the common cutting agents for cocaine and now crack is Levamisole. Levamisole is used to deworm cattle. However in humans it suppresses the immune system and creates flesh eating disease. ABC News posted some pictures.

WUSA 9 claims that the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology profiles six cocaine users who have developed patches of rotting flesh on their ears, nose, and in some cases, their entire body. The study concludes that it's caused by using cocaine that's been cut with the drug, Levamisole. One anonymous commenter on another blog claimed Levamisole is commonly used in Vancouver for cutting crack because it is hard to detect and doubles their money.

The blog reader who sent me these links was a long time former drug user who said people need to know how bad this stuff is. Indeed they do. This is yet another reason we shouldn’t be handing out free crack pipes. It is a heath violation. We might as well be handing out free Dixie cups for people to drink Drano so they don’t catch a cold from sharing a Dixie cup. Drinking Drano is worse that getting a cold. Crystal meth is made from Drano. In Surrey addicts are throwing crack pipes everywhere including in stores where people buy food along with their used needles because they know the government will give them a new one. That is a public health hazard.

Stephen Harper surrenders Canadian Sovereignty

Stephen Harper is a raging lunatic. One minute he spends all that money on commercials about the war of 1812 and talked about boosting our military presence in the arctic, the next minute he completely surrenders Canadian sovereignty to the US. He is either insane or a complete deception.

The Vancouver Province is reporting that a Vancouver lawyer claims the Canada-US maritime policing pact infringes on Canada’s sovereignty. No kidding. Having US police patrol Canada is an act of war.

We can share intel with the DEA and the local police agencies in the US but to let them patrol in Canada is a completely different matter. Especially since that will open up the door to the CIA and the US mercenary contractors doing in Canada what they did during Hurricane Katrina. Given the CIA's documented drug trafficking network as well as their false flag history, this is the biggest threat to Canada’s sovereignty and our national security in recorded history.

Harper is just like Obama - a complete deception. Harper is not a Conservative any more than Obama is a Democrat. Harper says one thing and does another just like Obama. Obama never closed Guantanamo Bay like he promised and continues false flag attacks on his own people because the CIA paid for his education. He was a plant. A fake,. A fraud. An enemy of the constitution and the left just like Stephen Harper is an enemy to the right. Belinda Stronach was more conservative than Stephen Harper and she certainly wasn’t very conservative. Harper is a Corporate Communist. He calls world government world governance. Stalin here we come.

Hanford’s Dirty Secrets

We recently talked about the Nuclear reactor in Washington State that is leaking radioactive waste into the Columbia River. As if the coal pollution in the Columbia River wasn’t bad enough. Turns out King 5 news is diving deeper into the problem and claims Hanford executives has been covering up the seriousness of the leak and that the problem is getting worse. Imagine that. Another private company hiding the truth from the public.

They also talk about how they had no plan in place in the event of a radioactive leak. If the United States can’t figure out what to do with nuclear waste, why are we selling Canadian reactors to India and China? Do we really think they will know what to do with the radioactive waste?

Of course the advertizing campaign is still going well. You can even water ski at night since the radiation will make everything glow in the dark. Hanford’s Dirty Secrets - King 5 news.

Little Ryan is still living small

Another Surrey girl makes it on the dirty. They better be careful. A gust of wind comes along and they'll get blown away. 85 pounds soaking wet. The life of a chipmunk.

Kingpin Crew reported stolen motorcycle

Crimestoppers is reporting a stolen custom motorcycle from the 800 block of Westview Way, West Kelowna. Why that’s where Josh Armstrong and Reza Rahiman from the defunct Kingpin crew live. You can even see the Kingpin Crew logo in the corner of the picture. It is a nice bike. Looks like one of Goldammer’s creations. Sure isn't worth $160,000 though.

The resident reported that his custom built motorcycle had been taken from his driveway while he was out of town. That’s strange. He doesn’t park his bike in the driveway overnight let alone when he goes out of town. They even have a surveillance video of the alleged theft. Sure sounds like a scam to me. Paying that claim would,be a crime. Remember Skeletor's First Stolen Motorcycle.

The Kingpin crew were implicated in a stolen car ring tied to Johnny Newcome and the Hells Angels. This just sounds like more of the same old BS. In that case, the police are alleging the President of the Kelowna Hells Angels reported two vehicles as stolen, and the vehicles were later processed at Newcome's garage. Police also recovered three stolen vehicles that were allegedly in the possession of the Calgary Hells Angels chapter. Only rats would steal a motorcycle. Scamming ICBC effects all our insurance rates. Freakin parasites. Get a real job.



Speaking of Kelowna, Blaze the woman beater’s second cousin, the son of Tony the Tramp, got nine months for videotaping his friend pour after shave on a guy passed out at a party and set him on fire. Kelowna trash. Not much different that Surrey trash. What a shame.

Rare Whale sighting on northern BC coast

A rare sighting of a Right whale off Haida Gwaii in the northern BC coastal waters. All the more reason to protect our waters from coal contamination, oil spills and petroleum coke.

Surrey Shirts takes aim at Rob Ford’s crack video

You know you’re hating is when even Surrey starts making fun of you. Don from Surrey Shirts has added a Rob Ford tribute to his Surrey Shirts collection. It says Toronto’s #1 Authorized Ford Dealer with a picture of a meth pipe. Referring to Rob Ford’s drug dealer not the Ford automobile manufacturer. Well done. You can buy one from SurreyShirts.com

Montreal's interim Mayor arrested on fraud charges

When I first saw the headline about Montreal’s interim Mayor resigning amid corruption allegations, I have to admit I resorted to the rollie eyes and thought not again. The guy replaced the last mayor who resigned amid corruptions allegations. I didn’t realize he was actually arrested. He faces 14 charges, including fraud, conspiracy, breach of trust and corruption in municipal affairs.

CTV is reporting that the charges are related to two real-estate projects that took place between 2006 and 2011, before Applebaum became mayor. The anti corruption commissioner said "these were bribes that influenced a decision, approvals or permit distribution." Police said the transactions being investigated were worth "several hundreds of thousands of dollars." Seemingly this all happened over a decade ago.

Two other Montreal-area public figures were also arrested Monday: Jean Yves Bisson, a former director of permits who worked in Applebaum's west end borough, and Saulie Zajdel, who worked in a ministerial office for the federal Conservatives on ethnic outreach. Zajdel was charged with breach of trust, fraud and corruption.

Since all this drama is tied to corruption in the construction industry in Montreal we can’t forget the allegations against Gilles Varin and QMI Agency’s prediction that the RCMP is close to laying criminal charges against a former Conservative aide to a Quebec senator in connection with the Hells Angels contract to renovate Parliament in Ottawa. What a freaking mess.

I guess they haven’t figured out yet like they have here as long as the bribes are in the form of campaign contributions. They're even tax deductible. Just ask Gateway casinos. Some blog readers think surrey is more corrupt than Montreal because everything is hidden behind the Surrey Development corporation which isn't publicly accountable. Meanwhile, it looks like Harper is going to have his own Big House Crew.

Kelowna Hells Angel sentenced to 26 months for assault

Uncle Joe gets 26 months for assault. I wonder what he’ll get for speeding through Salmon Arm with a car load of weapons and a cell phone jammer. Talk about garbage, this guy fits the bill. No remorse whatsoever for his life of crime.

Surrey Trailer Park full of crack and no one cares

I’m going to tie two stories into one. A story on the front page of today’s Vancouver Province and a story on the front page of today’s Surrey Now. Both exemplify the same old Surrey trash mentality that we are trying to address without simply pretending it doesn’t exist.

The Vancouver Province reported on a story about a 16 year old girl who wrote to the mayor about the horrible crack problem where she lives in Surrey. She was excited to get a response that said the police would be in touch with her but that excitement was short lived. Nothing has changed and no police showed up.

Godzilla seized the media opportunity and said the landlords shouldn’t rent to people who sell crack or are involved in the sex trade. No kidding. Maybe she’ll give herself another award for such a ridiculous statement. The girl is reporting crime. You’d think they’d do a little more than tell her to move to another neighborhood. It really makes you wonder who is profiting from all this money laundering.

It’s like the dead zone where Janice Shore was murdered. No one really cares about the drug related crime there. They just want to pretend it doesn’t exist and threaten to sue you for claiming it does. Years ago it was Doug McCallum who put pressure on the crack houses in Surrey. The City would evict them onto the street. I saw it. Godzilla just rode his coat tails. After him, it’s just been a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

There is a serious drug problem in that trainer park that needs to be addressed. Having Laura Balance send out a few press releases to distract everyone will not change that fact. Something needs to be done and right now nothing is other than rage, denial and the suppression of crime statistics.

Also in today’s Vancouver Province and on the front page of today’s Surrey Now is a story about several woman assaulting another woman at a kids sports day in Surrey. This is what we mean when we refer to Surrey trash. These pieces of garbage should be ashamed of themselves. Ganging up on a woman is one thing but doing it at a kid’s sports day is another. It boldly declares they are what they are – Surrey trash. Not everyone is Surrey is like this but there is a big enough of a problem for it to be addressed not lied about.



Update: Of course since the problem made the paper, Godzilla stepped out of her ivory tower long enough for a photo shoot to misinterpret the concerns and spin in into something it isn’t. In today’s Vancouver Province it reports that: “The 16-year-old Surrey girl is being lauded as a local hero after she emailed Mayor Dianne Watts to plead for an intervention at her crime-riddled trailer park, which she said has been taken over by drug dealers and prostitutes.” The concern is crystal clear.

Yet Godzilla spins it into something it isn’t. "You can clearly see that there are areas kept up well, but there was a fire at one of the units and it's clearly not cleaned up," said Watts, who spent about a half-hour walking around the trailer park.” That’s just spin and rationalization of her bullsh*t image.

"The residents' general concern was that the landlord had not been taking care of the premises that he's renting to unsavory individuals," she said, adding that bylaw officers handed the landlord a number of tickets.” No, you’re not listening. The problem is the criminal activity surrounding the drug trade. That is a policing problem. She even has the audacity to claim it’s a tenancy issue that falls under provincial jurisdiction.

How can anyone with a conscience spin that? The paper got it right. The problem is the drug related crime. Something that Laura Balance and Godzilla don’t like to admit exists in Surrey. Something they most certainly don’t want to solve. If Dianne Watts and Bill Fordy won’t deal with drug related crime, then it’s time we elected someone who did.

This Surrey First scam has been one big political con. It all started with a dramatic fanfare of a crime fighting coalition. She promised to highlight high crime areas on a web site – never happened. She even had someone speak about the New York model. Only it was never implemented. The only thing that happened was a suppression of crime statistics and a media spin. Nothing has changed since the public crime prevention meeting five years ago where Whalley residents in the “dead zone” complained about the police letting crack dealers sell crack in public. Nothing has changed.

The problem in this girl’s neighborhood is crack, crystal meth and drug related prostitution which brings a huge amount of public health and safety concerns. This is criminal activity that children should be protected from. They’re not doing it. What needs to happen is the police need to arrest the crack and meth dealers. I don’t give a rat’s a*s about grow ops. We need to prioritize arresting crack and meth dealers. Not the addicts, the dealers. That is the New York model. Quoting the New York model and not following it is what Macbeth described as a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing. God help is. Godzilla sure won’t.

Outlaws MC in Newfoundland

Remember when a couple of hecklers were all freaking out because Alex Caine said the Outlaws already had chapters in Eastern Canada? The rage and denial was indeed suspicious. Well here it is. The RCMP are reporting that the Outlaws arrived in Grand Falls-Windsor August 2012. Ironically enough, they moved into town shortly after Bacchus did.

Bacchus has been in that town since January 2011. 6 months later, the Black Pistons moved in. August 2012, the Black Pistons patched over to become Outlaws. The Hells Angels have already brought drugs and violence to Saint John's NL. Sounds like the Outlaws are going to have a gathering at Grand Falls-Windsor in July. Perhaps there will be a showdown at the OK coral after all. Is that why Bacchus went to Fort McMurray to get help? They’re gonna need a lot more help than that. They’re gonna need some serious time with Dr. Phil. I mean just look at that idiot with eyes tattooed on the back of his head. Flaming idiots alright.

In March there was a home invasion in Grand Falls-Windsor . Two guys in their 20’s broke into a home and assaulted a 63 year old man. Holy crack heads batman that is sleazy. Dwayne Hiscock and Corey Killam face numerous charges including assault with a weapon. Police believe they planned to steal prescription drugs.

Reflections on Fatherhood

Lots of snow at the top of Lion’s Chair and all the way up Sky Chair.



Nice to get a snow fix in June when it’s summer everywhere else.



My father used to like to take pictures of the Lions from Cleveland Park at the foot of Grouse Mountain. I like to take pictures of the Lions from the top of Sky chair on Cypress or Hollyburn Ridge. You have to work harder to get there but you see them eye to eye.



Yesterday I visited my father’s grave. Grateful for the life lessons he left me. I remember one time speaking about fatherhood and giving a tribute to my father. After the fact he gave me hell for not mentioning my mother. I thought that was a given. The talk was on fatherhood. He did have a good point though. You can’t respect the one without respecting the other.

It’s interesting how many people get religious all of a sudden at funerals. Most of the tombstones have some kind of reference to God and the after life. As Russell Crow said in the movie Gladiator, what we do in life echoes in eternity. When I was young I remember an old timer that rode a shovel head. He would always joke around and had a very tough image. Yet he would always turn to me in private, look me in the eye and say having kids was the best thing I ever did. I guess it helped instill in me a desire to have kids of my own.

Parenthood, the toughest job on the planet. The most rewarding as well. There’s nothing more gratifying than seeing your kids succeed. Nothing more heartbreaking than seeing them stumble. It is without question a roller coaster ride to remember. Sometimes it just makes you grateful to be back on dry land.

Elijah talked about turning the hearts of the fathers to the children and turning the hearts of the children to their fathers. Metallica quoted that in one of their songs. Banned by the light, I’m on the left. Come follow me, I'm the one or I’ll make you pay the curse of Malachi. Somewhat Satanic. I wonder who the light is that banned them they referred to. Kinda misquoted Malachi’s curse as well but I suppose that’s to be expected when one follows the father of all lies.

I guess there are good Dads, there are bad Dads and there is the freedom to choose what kind of Dad we will become. Even Skeletor is a Dad. I’m not saying he was a bad Dad. I’m just saying the lifestyle that made him rich was bad and set a bad example for his kids. Doesn’t matter how nice he was to them. They all profited from the proceeds of crime and the violent misery that profit came from. Thankfully, there are still some things that money can’t buy. Choose wisely.

Top level drug dealers busted in Victoria

Vicnews.com is reporting that CFSU and VicPD have busted two of the top-level drug traffickers for Greater Victoria. Police arrested a 37-year-old Langford man and a 27-year-old Saanich man on June 6. Both have a history of violent crimes, drug trafficking, and ties to organized drug crime in the Lower Mainland.

"These guys represent the top of the food chain for the Greater Victoria area," said Staff Sgt. Conor King with the Victoria police. Both men have been released and no charges have been laid yet. CFSEU expects charges to be filed within "a month or two."

The two suspects were arrested at a residence in the 2700-block of Peatt Rd. in Langford. Investigators also searched a home in the 2700-block of Claude Rd. in Langford and in the 500-block of Heatherdale Ln. in Saanich. From the three locations, officers seized 28 pounds of marijuana, two kilograms of cocaine, 1 kg of crystal meth, 10 L of GHB, 200 pills of ecstasy and 1 kg of a "buffing agent" used to cut cocaine, 9 mm ammo, scales, a money counter and gun holsters. The grow had a medical license that had to have been approved by their landlord.

One source claims the suspects are Zachary Scott Matheson aka Ziggy and Ali Ziaee. Ali’s father was convicted of money laundering in Florida. The source claims they recognized Ziggy's house on the 5:00 pm news and said it was owed by prominent realtor Shirley Zailo. Ziggy lives at the 2700 block of Claude Road. The same area one of the police searches. Ziggy is friends with Jason Zailo, the son of their landlord. Jason is Lindsey Buziak’s ex. This is a big bust indeed.

Jason Yeo and Cory Falls in PEI

We mentioned the drug related home invasion in PEI that Jason Yeo was involved with. According to facts read out in court, Chase Roper and his accomplices robbed the man because they were under pressure to pay drug-related debts. Gee I wonder who they owed the drug debts to?

Roper pleaded guilty to armed robbery, wearing a disguise and assault with a weapon. He also pleaded guilty to trafficking cocaine. He was caught in an undercover police sting that was underway at the time of the home invasion. Federal prosecutor Scott Barry said cocaine trafficking on P.E.I. has international links to organized crime. Gee, I wonder which organized crime group? The victim of the home invasion also faces drug charges. Great. Another drug rip to pay off more drug debts. It’s one big vicious circle so it is.



In 2005 a member of Bacchus named Derreck Dean Huggan was arrested in a cocaine trafficking ring connecting Halifax to PEI. Huggan ran a Hells Angels support shop called Route 81 in Charlottetown that sold Hells Angels support gear. In fact, above is a picture of drug trafficker Jason Yeo with Cory Falls, who is son of Bobby Falls, the president of the Charlottetown Harley Club. Cory is the taller one on the left, Jason is the shorter one on the right. CSIS claims some members of the Charlottetown Harley Club sell drugs for the Hells Angels, (bottom of page 30) but nobody trusts CSIS.



This is a picture of Cory’s father Bobby. An innocent friendship and association of course but it does make ya wonder just how far the MC movement is degenerating back east. We know Bacchus have been charged and convicted of supplying the Halifax prison with drugs.



Sadly, that’s not all. In this picture Jason Yeo is in the middle back with Kyle Dingwell on the left. Kyle is now dead. Tragically he was shot by his younger brother Dylan and even more tragically Dylan was found guilty of manslaughter in his death. It’s a sad story in more ways than one.

A lawyer for CBC argued for the release of 911 tapes at Dylan’s trial and got them. That’s how it’s supposed to work. Yet it shouldn’t have taken a lawyer and a court order to get them. Evidence submitted during a trial falls under the freedom of the press. The only time a publication ban applies is if it was evidence discussed when the jury wasn’t present or if there is another case ongoing that evidence might prejudice.

The Surrey Six trial falls under that provision. It’s a mess. The trial is divided up into three separate trails in addition to the police misconduct trial involving the IHITit officer who slept with a key witness and the officers who covered it up. Publicizing evidence in one of those trials before the other trials run their course could prejudice those other trials. That’s why I’m not covering the case. That and the fact that I don’t want to do anything to screw it up because it is such an important case. I will add that when all of those cases have run their course, all of the evidence in all of those trails would then fall under the freedom of the press.

In the Dingwell case, Dylan was Kyle’s younger brother. Kyle was older and bigger than Dylan and always beat him up to get his way. Court transcripts allege drugs were involved as in a drug binge distorting one’s behavior. Kyle took Dylan’s car again without permission then beat him up when Dylan expressed his outrage. Dylan left the house after getting beat up and went to his car. Dylan came out of the house to pursue the matter and was ready to bear spray him after he had already assaulted him. Dylan pulled out a gun and shot him in self defense yet was convicted of manslaughter. He should have chosen trial by jury.

Tragic that a brother would abuse his younger brother like that. Tragic that the younger brother actually shot the older brother dead and tragic that the younger brother is convicted of manslaughter and spends his son’s childhood in jail. It’s a no win situation for everyone. Dylan was the one that called 911 after shooting Kyle.

The moral of the story: Drugs mess you up. Just like the case in Surrey where a guy killed his room mate by shooting him in the neck while on a crack binge. Crack kills. In more ways than one. Word.

Sylvan Lake shooting linked to Hells Angels puppet club

Gotta love those full face helmets. Idiots. The Calgary Sun, the Edmonton Journal, Global and CBC are reporting that police have charged two members of the Malicious Crew Motorcycle Club, which has ties to the Hells Angels, after a man suffering from gunshot wounds on June 3rd was found walking near the town located just west of Red Deer. The man, who is also affiliated with the club, has since undergone surgery and is expected to survive. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Daniel Huddlestone, 34, and Cameron Monkman, 28, have been charged with attempted murder using a firearm, robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault and other weapons offences. Robbery? Why does that not come as a big surprise?

Insp. Garrett Woolsey said there is no evidence the shooting was ordered by the Hells Angels. Oh brother. If a Hells Angels puppet club did a shooting or committed a murder, there is not a snowballs chance in Hell they didn’t do it without the permission of the Hells Angels. I have no idea why they keep making these kind of ridiculous statements.

Earlier this week, RCMP in Sylvan Lake charged Andrew Waunch, 30, with attempted murder in a separate incident that also happened in the area on June 3. Police say it was a separate incident and although Andrew Waunch knew the suspects from the Malicious Crew charged in the other shooting that happened that night, police aren't saying Waunch is affiliated with the biker club. Things that make ya go hmmm...

Metro Vancouver opposes Surrey’s new coal terminal

Metro Vancouver's board voted 21-4 to oppose the new coal terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks. It’s just a symbolic measure since they have no say in the matter and the Surrey Docks declare they will proceed unilaterally without public consultation. Yet this timely decision comes as news breaks of Ridley Terminals in Prince Rupert being accused of dumping coal in the ocean. Which coincides with a court case and campaign to stop coal export pollution in waterways in Washington and in Oregon.

BNSF Railways and coal shippers are being sued in US Federal Court for water contamination violations in Washington under the Clean Water Act. So what do they do? They bring their toxic waste to Surrey of course.

We’ve talked about coal pollution recently. How although it was common to use in the past, it is really not progressive for the future. Aside from the toxic pollution to waterways and fish we eat, it has a huge impact on CO2 emissions. Wherever coal is mined, transported and burned, pollution results.

Last weekend I saw a train loaded with coal roll through downtown White Rock right beside the beach. It’s something we don’t normally think about. There goes a coal train, so what? Yet the toxic pollution of our waterways contaminating the seafood we eat as well as the air we breathe is a huge concern.

Think about it. It many areas we aren’t even allowed to have a wood burning fire in our fireplace or burn organic materials in a construction site. We’re going to ban the residential and commercial burning or organic materials but we are going to increase industrial burning of coal? That just doesn’t make sense.

The court case in Washington where the coal companies are being sued for contaminated water in the Columbia River and the Washington coast and the allegations of coal dumped into the ocean in Prince Rupert act as a wake up call to our moral responsibility. It’s not even a matter of being a tree hugger any more. Polluting the water and contaminating the fish effects the food we eat as well as other commercial industries.

All of a sudden we see that it has adverse effects on other viable and sustainable businesses as well. So it isn’t a matter of making money. It’s a matter of one industry making money on a project that contaminates our water, our air and the food we eat as well as taking money away from other business ventures. Coal is bad business. Surrey is not being progressive for cramming this through without public consultation.

Shootings in Surrey, Coquitlam and Langley, Orcas in Burrard Inlet

CBC and the Vancouver Province are reporting there was another shooting in Surrey this afternoon at the 14200 block of 108 Avenue. The victim drove himself to the hospital and the police arrested a suspect on site in what they refer to as a targeted attack.

Last night there was a double shooting in Coquitlam. A man and woman are in stable condition after being shot around 11:30 PM at Ballenas Court and Gabriola Drive, near Coquitlam River Park. Police suspect it was a targeted and drug-related shooting but claim they have no reason to think it was gang-related. Ok that’s just plain silly. If it’s drug related, it’s gang related since the gangs are fighting over the drug trade.

On a lighter note, a pod of Orcas were seen in the Burrard Inlet today between Stanley Park and North Vancouver on both sides of Lions Gate Bridge. The Vancouver Aquarium claimed up to eight orcas were spotted. One witness said they stayed in the area for 3 hours. Exciting indeed to see a whole pod of orcas that close to the city. Global and the Vancouver Province have posted some pictures.

Update: CKNW is reporting that Saturday morning two men were shot in Langley near 232 Street and 56 Avenue, RCMP say possibly during a drug deal.

Quebec Conservative Lobbyist tied to the Hells Angels

We previously talked about the controversial $9 million renovation project on Parliament Hill tied to the Hells Angels. Well today The Ottawa Sun published an article quoting QMI Agency about how a deceased Conservative lobbyist in Quebec named Gilles Varin was being investigated for his ties to Marvin Put your shirt back on Ouimet. The whacked out Hells Angel from Trois-Rivières accused of committing 22 murders, fraud and laundering the proceeds of crime. Trois-Rivières is an awesome place by the way. Mad Marvin and the Hells Angels are infecting it like a STD.

The Ottawa Sun is reporting that: “Varin even met with Ouimet and a half-dozen other construction company bosses at a suburban Montreal restaurant on Sept. 25, 2008 - under the watchful eyes of police investigators. While Varin bragged of having ‘'easy access’' to political and government officials to help rig contract bids and get government contracts, witnesses said, Ouimet's gang tattoos were seen at the table.”

They are also reporting that “QMI Agency has learned the RCMP is close to laying criminal charges against a former Conservative aide to a Quebec senator in connection with the contract.” They’re pretty good with their facts. This should be interesting. Back when Marvin was arrested Sûreté du Québec Inspector Michel Forget said it was the biggest money-laundering operation ever encountered by the police, and that there was more to come. Indeed, here it comes.



Ya gotta wonder how Christian Paradis fits into this picture. Clear Politics is reporting that there are “allegations that Paradis was involved in influence peddling relating to the construction contract awarded to a Montreal firm for the renovation of Canada’s Parliament building in Ottawa.” Don’t worry. Maybe they’ll get their partner in crime Jacques Leger to hear the case. I wonder if Harper still wants the RCMP to clear any charges with him before they talk to the press about it. That would be somewhat conflicted.

Rob Ford smoking crack video

I haven’t said anything about the latest Rob Ford scandal because I think it’s highly unlike Rob Ford smokes crack. Not because he said so since he’s a lying drunk, I just personally think it’s highly unlikely. At least I did at the time. We know he’s an abusive drunk. We know he lied about getting kicked out of a hockey game for being drunk and abusive to a couple at the game then later admitted it was him.

We know he was caught with weed in Florida when he was pulled over for a DUI and refused to blow. We know the police were called to his home in response to a domestic abuse call where he denied hitting his wife but admitted they had marital problems and claimed they were staying together for the kid’s sake.

We know he was driving around in a van with a personal license plate talking on the cell phone and a mother and daughter claimed he gave them the finger when they told him to get off his phone while driving. He admitting talking on his cell while driving but denied giving them the finger. Sadly, Rob Ford just isn’t credible and it has nothing to do with him being left or right wing. It’s about him being an abusive liar.

I find the whole claim that a video of him smoking crack exists but mysteriously disappeared suspicious. Yet one media outlet claims reporters saw the video before reporting it. This picture of Rob Ford with a drug dealer who has since been shot is pretty bizarre. Locals claim the house people claim the photo was taken in front of was indeed a crack house and they have a hard time believing the mayor was there. Another outlet claims Ford went to school with one of the inhabitants and partied there often. We know he likes to party. Him saying he doesn’t smoke crack is very different from him saying he has never smoked crack. Him saying he’s not addicted to crack doesn’t mean he’s never smoked it.

Although one media outlet said it would be impossible for someone to fake a video of Rob Ford smoking crack, this one youtuber showed it is possible. The short five second clip of rob ford smoking crack on the internet was taken from the fake video. Yet the picture of him with a drug dealer and then claims of him partying with a high school friend who lives in a crack house are very hard to ignore. As is the Toronto Star’s description of the video they saw. Two reporters from the Toronto Sun state what they saw in the video. That’s pretty credible.

Nevertheless, I think all the drama this guy gets is somewhat over rated. The fact that he is mayor of Toronto knowing his drunken abusive history is quite astonishing all on it’s own independent of his political beliefs. This smoking crack video just takes the cake. Rob Ford: A timeline of denials

The Internship

I was feeling in a bit of a lighter mood and saw Internship today with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. I saw GI Joe Retaliation and Fast and Furious 6 and really enjoyed the well done dramatic action. This one I was expecting to be a bit lighter and a bit comical. It was that and more. It was an uplifting comedy but it was also inspiring and showed the worth of a soul.

Two salesman find their company went under and were forced to look for new work in a very different market. They apply for an internship at Google and find themselves competing against an army of brainy kids just out of high school in a field they know very little about. I can relate to that.

Their team of left over misfits pulls together and shows what it means to care about each other. Fat Joe is a popular rapper and nobody cares about his weight. He has swagger. I don’t think Ricky Ciarniello is disgusting because he’s fat. I think he’s disgusting because of what he is, what he does and what he misrepresents. The Devil’s Butler is a deranged history that none of those clowns should be proud of.

The thing that struck me about the movie was the fact that these old guys who could easily have been cynical about a world that left them behind, found out that many of those younger kids were just as if not more cynical then them about the future. They said that only 25 percent of kids out of school will find jobs. That’s just the way the world is now. The older guys helped the younger kids lift their heads up and see more opportunities waiting for them if they were just prepared to think outside the box. Caring about people made the movie a real inspiration.

Contrast that with the selfish it’s all about me and my 1% world and we see a very different reality emerge. Others have compared the Biker 1% with the Wall Street 1% of corruption and greed. The biker 1% is all that and more. The drive to be a criminal is a very misplaced mid life crisis. The violence that greed creates is extreme. The old ideals of military sacrifice for the well being of others is completely lost in the obsession with greed and materialism. Yet if we just stop and look up we can see a better world all around us.

Why Bilderberg is bad

Blog readers have been sending in links about this year’s Bilderberg Group meeting in England. This is where the left meets the right for good and for evil. At first it’s hard to figure out what all the concern is about a few politicians and a few billionaires discussing world peace and financial prosperity. However, with a few clicks of the mouse we can quickly see what’s wrong.

The Rockefellers and the Rothschilds are involved with Bilderberg. That’s a red flag. The goal of the elite group is to establish a one world government. When Kennedy talked about a monolithic conspiracy trying to enslave every man woman and child, this is it. Back then they met in secret. Now they have so much power they can make their meetings public.

The Rothschilds owned Standard Oil Company. They use ruthless tactics to gain a monopoly on the oil market. Something politicians at the time said was a violation of anti trust laws. Now the paid politicians support the oil monopolies which we see gouge consumers at the pump. How many oil companies want to build the Keystone pipeline and the northern Gateway? One. All other companies buy their oil from one who controls the market and sets whatever price they want.

That is Corporate Communism. Large corporations eliminate small business and create a monopoly on a market and thereby destroy the free market while maximizing profits. Amschel Rothschild once said: “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes its laws.”

Big Corporations and Big Banks funded the Communist Revolution. The Rothschilds funded Karl Marx. This is where the right meets the left in it’s quest for evil. At first glance one would think this is a compete contradiction. The right wing corporations and banks claim to support the free market and claim to oppose Communism. Why then did they fund it? Because they perverted the cause of social justice and high jacked the movement showing clearly that a right wing dictator is no different than a left wing dictator.

In response we see protesters from the left and the right meet for good. The Occupy movement sees the corruption on Wall Street as bad. So does the Tea Party movement that passionately opposes their attempt to rob human rights. Occupy isn’t about the redistribution of wealth. It’s not about the poor being jealous of the rich. It’s about the rich committing investment fraud to gouge consumers and taxpayers. That is what this is about. It is very much a fight for freedom disguised by their lies.

David Rockefeller once said: “We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and their great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.”

In 1952, Bilderberg member James Paul Warburg testified before the United States Senate and had this to say about the coming New World Order - “”We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”

Christine Lagarde, the head of the IMF, is expected at Bilderberg 2013. The International Money Fund. What can be more suspect than that? We have heard talk about the Amero and the North American Union. These guys want to expand that globally. The problem is, to them the end justifies the means and they want to rob individuals of liberty for the greater good – money in their pocket.

Bilderberg is run at the taxpayers expense. Rich bureaucrats who pay off politicians to help them gain monopolies on the market and rob taxpayers. The big oil companies loved the HST. They love it when big corporations pay no tax and the consumers have to pay all the tax. It is the road to slavery.

Goldman Sachs was involved in hiding the Greek debt so they could get their taxpayer bailout. Goldman Sachs has a huge amount of influence in the US government and has a history of fraud. The Greek financial crisis was the result of investment fraud just like the S&L crisis in the /80’s. What was public money became private then disappeared. Goldman Sachs’ involvement in Bilderberg is a huge concern.

Alex Jones and Infowars are covering the event.

This is a list of some of the "delegates."

Toronto police seized 62 kilos of cocaine

Toronto police have charged 4 men with trafficking after 62 kilos of cocaine and 3 kilos of crystal meth were seized as well as a small quantity of GHB. Philipos Kollaros, 33, of Vancouver; Ritesh Thakur, 40, of Mississauga; Gursharan Singh, 29, of Mississauga; and Dimitri Alexiou, 36, of Quebec have been arrested and charged. Hard to conceive that large of a cocaine bust didn’t involve the Hells Angels. Time will tell.

The Right to Bear Arms

I’ve already mentioned how Jessie Ventura said that the intent of 2nd Amendment was not to preserve the people’s right to hunt. It was to protect citizens from tyranny. Many others share that opinion including Ice T. Bruce Willis said that if they take one of the people’s rights away in the Bill of Rights, what’s stopping them from taking all of the rights away? I agree with both. Taking rights away is bad and the right to bear arms isn’t about hunting. It’s about letting citizens protect their families from criminals and tyrants both foreign and domestic.

One of the people speaking in this Youtube video is a US soldier. Ironically enough, he admits going to war for the people’s right to buy oil. Yet he asks a profound question. He asks the journalist that was pushing for gun control if he would feel as passionately about doing away with the first amendment as he does about doing away with the second amendment. I agree. The second amendment protects the first amendment.

Years ago I was a big supporter of the US Constitution and the right to bear arms. Realizing many in Canada have a huge fear of guns as well as the legitimate concern about domestic violence and guns getting into the hands of children, I metaphorically gave up on the issue. Yet now more than ever when the government is invasively taking away more and more rights I do think the right to bear arms is just as important in Canada as it is in the United States. We have seen here in Canada what happens when only the criminals have the guns. It’s not working.

Warlocks in Ft McMurray

Speaking of the Hells Angels white supremacist puppets in Fort McMurray called the Syndicate, the Warlocks MC made the news after they got in a bar fight with the Syndicate in Fort McMurray. I guess they’re rivals. Before we cheer we need to realize they’re just more of the same. George Sutherland and Kristian MacEachern have both been charged with uttering threats and both face drug trafficking charges. MacEachern is believed to be the leader of the Syndicate.

The Warlocks seemingly started in Florida and have chapters in Melbourne Australia and now in Alberta. Although they claim military origin and claim to support the troops, once again their conduct is in opposition to that mission statement.

They start off by calling themselves the Evil crew. Kinda like AC/DC’s song that says if you’re evil you’re a friend of mine which really makes no sense whatsoever. That’s like the Anarchy bikers rule book. When the Hells Angels murdered one of their own guys from LHS to let the Ontario Village Idiots take over the drug trade in Thompson, Manitoba - that was evil. Murder and betrayal is evil. But AC/DC said if you’re evil you’re a friend of mine. But if you murder your friends for greed how can I trust you to be my friend? It’s all very problematic so it is. Hitler was evil. We fought Hitler in the war. How can you support the troops if Hitler is your friend? All those confederate flags are a bit much for me.

It’s the same old, posting pictures of half naked women on motorcycles. Tell me are any of you guys married or have kids? Are any of you ever going to grow up? It can’t be strippers and blow forever. Somewhere along the line you’re supposed to grow up, have a family and become a trustworthy husband and father. Bar fights and MC patches. Really? How old are you? You’re not kids any more. A mid life crisis doesn’t mean you revert to childhood.



The Warlocks even have their own lockdown page supporting members who are in prison for various offenses they were "falsely" convicted of like Christopher Hamm. He’s a member of the Warlocks and is recognized on their Lockdown page along with several other winners. Bragging about members in jail is kinda dumb. Chris has Nazi lightening bolts on his neck. That's like pissing on a good soldiers grave.

I suppose it’s not as bad as Sonny Barger recognizing Otis Garret on his Big House Crew page. Otis was convicted of murdering Margo Compton and her twin seven year old daughters after she testified against him for running a Hells Angels prostitution ring in San Francisco called the Love Nest. Pimps and baby killers, those aren’t my kind of role models.

Hells Angels bringing drug violence to Newfoundland

Speaking of Newfoundland Bacchus in Fort McMurray, turns out Newfoundland is experiencing a rash of drug related violence police say is linked to the Hells Angels. A car was firebombed on Friday then later that night two houses were shot at with an assault rifle in a drive by in Saint John's, Newfoundland. VOCM is reporting that the fire bombing scorched two homes, a Mercedes Benz, and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. On Dauntless Street an assault rifle damaged two properties and three vehicles. Johnston says the weapon has been recovered.
