Diane Rock and Vince McMurchy

We've already talked about how the Dianne Rock story has blown the lid off the Pickton cover up. Her friend Janice Edwards testified how she picked Dianne up at a gas station after she was gang raped at the Pickton farm. A colleague gave me a copy of the cross examination of Janice Edwards from the preliminary hearing at Port Coquitlam in a brown envelope.

The transcript states Janice Edwards picked up Dianne Rock from the gas station the second time in August 2001. She was badly bruised and was hysterical. Janice stated Diane's arms had marks on them like she was being held tightly with human hands. Obviously skeptics will challenge the credibility of Dianne Rock claiming she was "just a drug addicted sex trade worker" but Janice Edwards was not. She saw the physical effects of assault. She also gives startling testimony on how Dianne Rock got addicted to drugs.

We already mentioned how the book On the Farm claims Diane Rock's boyfriend was a longshoreman named Vince McMurchy. The court transcript goes into detail about that relationship. I will clarify that the court transcript was covered by a Section 539 publication ban. That is a publication ban according to section 539 of the criminal code. It was fulfilled when Robert Pickton was convicted and his appeal had been heard. Stevie Cameron wrote the book On the Farm about the trial and had to wait until Pickton's appeal had been heard before she was able to publish her book which she did in 2010. The publication ban on the Pckton trial has expired. If it wasn't, Stevie Cameron would have had to have pulled her book from the shelves.

Alright, so here it is. Janice Edwards testified that Dianne Rock was off the drugs. She stated it was her boyfriend Vince McMurchy that reintroduced her to drugs. They went to a party and he told her it was OK to do a little bit. That is what Janice Edwards stated Dianne Rock told her at the time. Not after the addiction had taken hold of her.

The lawyer asked Janice if Dianne supported her addiction working as a sex trade worker. Janice said yes, towards the end she did. The last few months of her life. From July until she went missing in August 2001. Before dating and living with Vince McMurchy, Dianne Rock was not addicted to drugs and was not a sex trade worker. He was the one who got her addicted to drugs and she ended up having to work as a sex trade worker to pay for the drugs.

Janice Edwards testified that Dianne Rock told her Vince McMurchy sold drugs and was the one supplying her. Janice testified that Dianne didn't use heroin she used crack. Obviously Vince McMurchy was not on trial. Janice was simply testifying to what Dianne Rock had told her before she disappeared. Before the drug addiction took over her. This is clearly hearsay evidence. I have heard it said that "Hearsay evidence is not admissible in court. Much. The admissibility of hearsay evidence is up to the judge's discretion as to how much weight it bears in court." However, this is not a court of law. This is just a blog quoting a court transcript of which the publication ban has clearly expired. I will leave it up to you to discern what merit this evidence bears.

Janice Edwards described Diane Rock's relationship with Vince McMurchy as abusive. She claims that Dianne confided in her that Vince beat her and that Janice saw physical evidence of his beatings. Janice said she did not contact the police about it at the time but did encourage Diane to go to the police about it which she unfortunately didn't.

Aside from the physical beatings Janice testified to the verbal abuse as well. She could hear him yelling at her in the background when Diane was on the phone with her. Janice testified that Vince had said Dianne was better off dead and told her that he was going to kill Dianne and dump her body in a ditch in Ladner. He had even driven Diane out to the spot in Ladner where he told her he was going to dump her body after he killed her.

Clearly the line of questioning by the defense is trying to establish other possible suspects in Diane Rock's murder. Do I think Vince McMurchy killed Diane Rock? No I do not. He did threaten to kill her and he was abusive to her. Although he definitely is a suspect in her murder I don't think he actually killed her. I think he exploited her, was abusive to her and cast her aside when he was finished with her. Finished making money off of her that is.

In my opinion the testimony of Janice Edwards sheds light on the making of a predator who got a wonderful young mother addicted to crack and forced her into prostitution to pay for the drug so he could make money. Even more money then he already made as a longshoreman which is disgusting. For him to do that was sheer greed.

Obviously not all Longshoremen are abusive to their girlfriends any more than every cop or every Hells Angel is. However, the longshoreman's ties to the Hells Angels and the Hells Angels ties to the Pickton farm need to be examined further as does the fact that Dianne Rock claimed she was gang raped. That would implicate more than one suspect.

Another Hells Angels Helicopter Jail Break in Quebec

CBC is reporting that Provincial police are searching for three inmates with previous ties to the Hells Angels who escaped from a Quebec City detention centre using a helicopter. A Sûreté du Québec spokesperson confirmed to CBC News that the prison break occurred at 7:45 p.m. ET from Orsainville Detention Centre and the inmates fled westbound in a green helicopter. Police are now searching for Yves Denis, 35, Denis Lefebvre, 53, and 49-year-old Serge Pomerleau.

In 2010, Lefebvre was arrested by provincial police after a drug operation bust known as Project Crayfish that led to dozens of arrests. He was reported to have had ties to the Hells Angels. During the bust police seized multiple weapons, 41 vehicles, a plane, a helicopter and $905,000.

The three who escaped ere being held at the detention centre waiting to stand trial, but it was not immediately clear what charges they were facing. NBC posted a picture of the suspects at large.

Special thanks to a blog reader for the revised photo.

Border Agents seize ecstasy substitute enroute to Calgary

The Calgary Sun is reporting that Border officials have intercepted a shipment of 10 kg of ethylone originating from China and destined for Calgary, preventing 100,000 doses from hitting the streets.

The Calgary Herald is reporting that Ethylone is an amphetamine-like substance, classified as a “new psychoactive substance.” New psychoactive substances are drug substitutes with similar effects to commonly known substances such as ecstasy or amphetamines.

Hells Angels support shop opens in Nova Scotia

After getting kicked out of Nova Scotia the Hells Angels are still trying to peddle their presence in that fine Province. The New Glasgow News is reporting that Clothing inside a storefront at 181 MacLean Street New Glasgow, Nova Scotia has 81 written on it. Support shirts for the Hells Angels. "A large number of bikes have been seen in front of the building. On Monday morning there was a bike in the window with Gate Keepers written on it. Gate Keepers is an affiliate of the Hells Angels. A man out front said he was there to pick up a part for his bike. Asked if it was a Gate Keepers store, he said it was HA."

Another stabbing at Oppenheimer Park

The Vancouver Province reported that there was another serious stabbing near Oppenheimer Park in East Vancouver. Their eloquent description of the event is as follows:

The trail of dried blood runs from Vancouver's East Hastings Street down Jackson Street to Oppenheimer Park. For almost three blocks, a man suffering from a serious knife wound to his neck staggered early Monday down the notoriously mean streets and then collapsed - all to the horror of a handful of people in the area. Vancouver police were summoned to the Downtown Eastside crime scene by a passerby at about 1 a.m. and found the 41-year-old man covered in blood.

The man, who has yet to be identified, was taken to hospital where he underwent surgery and is now listed in stable condition. "It is bad down here," said Shirley Morgan, 64, who lives close to Oppenheimer Park and visits the park daily, but only during the day. "You don't want to be here late at night. "People get drunk or high on drugs and then start fights," she added.

Once again they are highlighting the drug related violence in the DTES that is continuous but we rarely hear about. They also point out that Oppenheimer Park was the scene of another knife attack in April, with the victim suffering fatal injuries. Residents of the neighbourhood have witnessed shootings, constant injection drug use, crack cocaine-fuelled craziness and mentally-ill people in the depths of despair.

"People get crazy around here," said area resident Sean Keoman, 59. Vancouver police spokesman Sgt. Randy Fincham said that so far this year he said there have been nine serious assaults in the Oppenheimer Park area, compared to only three in the same time frame in 2013. Everyone said that letting the Hells Angels take over the drug trade in Oppenheimer Park cleaned it up. Evidently not.

Moncton RCMP shooting suspect arrested - Motive Update

Obviously the big news is the fact that some white guy in Moncton New Brunswick shot and killed three RCMP officers and wounded two others. The suspect, Justin Bourque has been found and arrested. Still no word on a possible motive for the murders. He did have an interesting link on his facebook to the number of guns Canada sells to terrorist countries. CBC posted an interesting article on the matter. Nevertheless, shooting RCMP officers is off the hook as in messed up.



Update: Blog readers have been trying to discover a motive that would make Justin Bourque target police officers. One possible theory is the murder of Daniel Levesque who was shot and killed by Moncton RCMP in 2013. Daniel was accused of trying to break into a car and he was shot dead by police. The police investigation claimed Daniel was killed by a previous stab wound not by the police shooting. It's kind of hard to visualize how someone would break into a car with a fatal stab wound. The media co-op suggests that Justin Bourque was friends with Daniel Levesque.

If that was the case, then it would reveal a double tragedy. First is the murder of Daniel Levesque which went unpunished. The second is the murder of three other police officers who were likely not unloved in that shooting. It reminds me all too well of the Belfast / Jerusalem dilemma. You kill one of ours and we kill one of yours. That logic fails.

The old law of an eye for an eye never meant that if someone commits murder then you execute some other innocent person from the same race, religion or in this case occupation. Natural justice means if someone commits murder, that person is charged and tried not someone else. Indeed, as Martin Luther King would say, that definition of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

VPD Issue Warning about Bad Heroin

I'm not sure if there is such a thing as good heroin but the Vancouver Province reported that Police are warning drug users to be “extremely cautious” after seven people were reported to have overdosed on heroin Tuesday. The suspected overdoses occurred in the Downtown Eastside, according to a news release from Sgt. Randy Fincham, a VPD spokesman. After issuing the warning about bad heroin on the streets, how about arresting the drug dealers selling it? Wouldn't that be a novel idea?

In B.C., 61 per cent of overdose deaths between 2005 and 2010 were accidental and related to the use of prescription drugs. At St. Paul’s Hospital, there has been an 89-per-cent increase in all addiction-related emergency room visits in the last four years. Evidently Insite is just helping spread the plague. That's not harm reduction, that's harm promotion.

MSN News is reporting that Fatal drug overdoses spike in Montreal as well. Gee you'd think they were getting it from Vancouver. Montreal health workers are battling an influx of fatal drug overdoses. In the last month, 15 people have died of drug overdoses — including six people in the last week alone.

Officials who are investigating the increase in deaths said many factors are at play. One of the possible causes could be that the drugs are being 'cut' — or diluted —with fentanyl. Fentanyl is an anesthetic meant to treat chronic pain. In high concentrations it could stop a person from breathing. A derivative of the drug, desmethyl fentanyl, is chemically modified to be even more potent — it’s considered to be 40 times stronger than heroin. Fentanyl made its first appearance on Montreal’s black market last spring.

Health officials said they are warning drug-users to lower their doses and to inject them slowly. That's it. Make sure you lower your dose of sheer poison and inject it slowly with your government issued needle at Insite where your tax dollars are hard at work killing humans slowly.

Child graves found in Ireland

This one breaks my heart. The Vancouver Province reported that the remains of 796 chidden were buried in a mass grave beside a former orphanage for the children of unwed mothers in Galway county. What a horrific tragedy. The Province states that County Galway death records showed that the children, mostly babies and toddlers, died often of sickness or disease in the orphanage during the 35 years it operated from 1926 to 1961.

A 1944 government inspection recorded evidence of malnutrition among some of the 271 children then living in the Tuam orphanage alongside 61 unwed mothers. The death records cite sicknesses, diseases, deformities and premature births as causes. This would reflect an Ireland that, in the first half of the 20th century, had one of the worst infant mortality rates in Europe, with tuberculosis rife. The Potato Famine was between 1845 and 1852.

Federal government spying on protesters

The Ottawa citizen is reporting that The federal government is expanding its surveillance of public activities to include all known demonstrations across the country, a move that collects information even on the most mundane of protests by Canadians.

The email requesting such information was sent out Tuesday by the Government Operations Centre in Ottawa to all federal departments. “The Government Operations Centre is seeking your assistance in compiling a comprehensive listing of all known demonstrations which will occur either in your geographical area or that may touch on your mandate,” noted the email, leaked to the Citizen.

So the Canadian government is spying on protestors. No wonder Stephen Harper likes Communist China so much. He’s just like them. The violation of civil liberty in one concern. The other is wasting tax dollars. They are using tax dollars to create a file on you and spy on you for your political affiliations. Not only is that illegal but it is the misappropriation of tax revenue.

Evidently if you exercise your Charter Right to protest Robocalls or GMO foods then that puts you on the list of government surveillance. So can you access this file they have on you through a freedom of information act request or are they breaking those laws too? Please advise.



FIPA has absolutely nothing to do with promoting free trade and everything to do with destroying our democratic system. Just like NAFTA Chapter 11.

25th Anniversary of Tiananmen Square massacre

The Vancouver Province is reporting that as the rest of the world recalls the Tiananmen Square massacre, China forbids its citizens from mentioning the atrocity. I'm still trying to find the link to the story in today's paper which claims numerous people have been imprisoned or gone missing in an attempt to cover up and prevent a public demonstration on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre where Communist soldiers opened fire on university students and activists who demonstrated in support of democracy.

We all remember the famous picture and video clip of one protestor staring down a tank. Yet the important thing to remember is that when the cameras weren't on, the troops started shooting unarmed civilians in public protest. Communism in China is still oppressing civil liberty and the freedom of speech. We should not be supporting that government. At all.

In contrast Stephen Harper goes on a ridiculous tirade about Putin and Russia's history of murder and oppression under Communism. Only that was Stalin not Putin and Russia isn't Communist any more. That's like going off on the current President of Germany because something Hitler did. The war is over. So why Harper is going off on this bizarre Russian tirade is rather astounding since they are no longer Communist but China is and he is bending over backwards for China despite their continued oppression with Communism and their continued civil rights abuses. The double standard is rather astounding.

Not only is he turning a blind eye to Communist China's human rights abuses, but he is once again pushing the sale of Canadian Reactors to China which they can use to make nuclear weapons for North Korea. Instead of selling China oil, he gave China our oil rights so every time we get over charged at the pumps we are funding the military expansion of that Communist dictatorship. So his double standard toward Russia is absolutely bizarre.

Putin is actually protecting Russian churches from being desecrated by those Pussy riot clowns. How is that Communism? It is clear that Harper is a raging lunatic. Robo calls are in the news again,. How is that supporting democracy and public accountability? Veterans are protesting again. How is rolling back veterans' pensions and benefits helping Canada become strong militarily?

Since Russia does have a past history with oppression, that is something to be aware of. When they send MIG fighter jets over the arctic circle to challenge Canada we need to send jets to face them. Only Harper's insider trading yets aren't for the arctic so they can't help protect Canada. They only fill the pockets of the companies his candidates lobbied for.

Stephen Harper has killed traditional Conservative values in Canada. He pimped Preston Manning. He turned the Reform Party's dream of fiscal responsibility and public accountability into a Brian Mulroney nightmare of pork barrel politics, filled with insider trading and the destruction of civil liberty. Stephen Harper is not a Conservative. He is a fraud. This is where the Neo Cons are taking us. Far far away from civil liberty and fiscal responsibility into slavery fueled with lies.

Speaking of lies, check out this ridiculous article by Andrew Coyne reprinted in the Vancouver Province. He starts by going off on the unlawful invasion of Iraq as though that was somehow a good thing. Iraq was invaded based on a lie. Bush said they had WMD and they didn't. MI 6 was caught red handed giving false information to the media about Iraq's WMD and the British weapons inspector who blew the whistle on that premeditated lie died of a suspicious suicide.

The CIA put Saddam Hussein in power. They sold him chemical weapons to use on Iran. It was fine with them when he used chemical weapons he bought from them on Iran. There isn't even proof he was the one that used them on the Kurds. It's possible it was him but it's also possible it was Iran. If it was him, he got the chemical weapons from the Americans. The unlawful invasion of Iraq was wrong. Selling him chemical weapons to use on Iran was wrong. That's all there is to it. Bringing up Iraq is a bad example.

Andrew the crackhead Coyne has the audacity to compare Putin to Saddam Hussein and says now Russia has unilaterally invaded and annexed a part of Ukraine. That's not entirely true. He is protecting the Russian majority in Crimea from a European invasion by the same bankers and "intelligence" agencies that created the Greek financial crisis. The majority of the citizens in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine support Russia not Europe. Those are the facts on the table.

Andrew the crackhead Coyne admits that a leading British anti-war organization, Stop The War, issued a release that not only refrained from criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Crimea, but blamed the whole crisis squarely on the West. Putin has no right to invade western Ukraine but has every right to defend eastern Ukraine from a European invasion. We need to be more concerned with our support of Communism in China that Putin's concern for the Russian majority in eastern Ukraine.



So Harper is sending Canadian troops to Europe to support the invasion of eastern Ukraine against the democratic will of the majority of the citizens living there. Is he going to pay up the current veterans pensions and benefits he rolled back? Please advise. Since he's so worried about the Russian threat, is he going to scrap his huge fleet of insider trading yets that forced him to roll back veterans pensions and benefits and buy a couple of real jets that can actually be used in the arctic to defend Canada from a Russian threat? Please advise.

Surrey Drive by Shooting 83 Ave and 134 Street

Scan BC is reporting that #Surrey #RCMP were on scene of a drive by shooting at 83 Ave & 134 St. Report of 1 male shot in the leg. Can't find anything in the news about it yet.

Larry Mizen in court again

Recently we talked about Larry Mizen's violent criminal history. Turns out he has been charged with uttering threats again and will be in court in Surrey to answer those charges on June 4th 2014 to fix a date for trial. If the media want to follow a violent criminal in Surrey, this is the person to watch. He has many aliases on file as well as three civil cases against him.

For one of his assault with a weapon, robbery, extortion, unlawful confinement charges in 2006 Colleen Golding was his co accused. On July 15 2006 he was also charged with sexual assault. He's not holding the sword right but I sure as hell ain't gonna be the one that tells him. This is the kind of guy that if I met alone in a dark alley, I would run. Without hesitation.



Update: Larry is scheduled to be back in court 9:30 AM July 4th 2014 to fix a date for trial.

Dam Mountain

What a magnificent day. Last weekend the mountains were covered in dense fog and raining. This weekend it was clear and sunny. I broke out the crampons today and hiked up past Dam Mountain on Grouse. From Dam mountain you can see Goat mountain.



Just past Dam mountain you can see Crown mountain. Crown mountain is a long hike. You have to climb way down then way up and way down and way up again just to get back. I like the view of Crown from here.



You can also see the Lions but you don't get a very good view because it's a side view. You get a better view of the Lions from the Cleavland Dam or from Hollyburn ridge on Cypress.



You can hike up without crampons but it's much easier and safer when you are scaling steep icy compacted snow. Crampons are much smaller than snowshoes. They're just a set of metal cleats that attach to your shoe or boot.



This is where I had lunch. Just past here is where I got caught between a large mother bear and her cub last summer. You can see Crown mountain on the left and Goat mountain on the right and Goat Ridge to the right of that. From Goat Ridge you can see Coliseum mountain. That's as far as I went today but in the summer it's awesome. It was very quiet and peaceful. The Grouse grind was absolutely packed.

Shots fired in Surrey 152nd St and 64th Ave - Updated

Scan BC is reporting that #Surrey #RCMP have closed 152 St & 64 Ave after two vehicles were seen shooting at each other. Both vehicles fled scene. The car on scene behind the police tape must be a witness. One resident claimed their neighbour heard three shots fired. Two other witnesses on the scene seem to think the incident started at King George and 32nd Ave. That's where they heard two cars skid and get in an accident who were then chased by the police. There is no evidence confirming the two incidents are connected. However, the front bumper of the vehicle in the scene was damaged.



Strangely enough, right when I thought they were going to start dropping police tape and letting traffic through more police kept showing up and started diverting traffic off of 152nd Street before 68th Ave right into a suburb maze resulting in a traffic nightmare. I have no idea why they would expand the crime scene and create a circus side show for traffic when the scene is clearly safe. The shooters have left the scene.



One resident tried to cross 152nd Street to get home and a cop freaked on him and made him wait for the insane amount of time the extended crime scene was up. All the guy wanted to do was cross the street and go home. Nowhere near the actual crime scene. He lived on the same street the same cop just let a car exit from and turn south on 152nd. That kind of bizarre authoritarianism just alienates them further from the public. My response is simple. When are they going to start arresting crack dealers in Newton? You think that is not related to this? I beg to differ.

May 13th the Surrey Now reported that a man was shot dead in Cloverdale around midnight at residence in the 17400-block 57th Avenue. Insp. Tim Shields was the RCMP spokesman on that file. The same person charged in a sexual harassment suit that Bob Paulson promised to do something about. Not. The only thing they are doing is harassing whistleblowers and promoting people accused of sexual harassment.

Update: There was another shooting in Surrey Saturday. News1130 is reporting that Police in Surrey are trying to figure out who fired shots from a moving car on 152nd between 64th and 72nd Avenue Saturday night. That's just down 152nd from the shooting earlier that day.

CPA Investigations at Shakerz

So what is up with the CPA Investigations truck outside Shakerz in Surrey today? Tbarz, now known as Shakerz has been known for it's ties to the Hells Angels. Is CPA investigating their connection to organized crime or do they own the firm? Please advise.

I did see a Dank truck parked outside Tbarz a couple years ago. Bikers of America blog reported that Randy ceased being a director of Dank in October 2010. Trevor briefly ceased being a director on May 30, 2011 — just 19 days after he was indicted in the U.S. But he was reinstated as a Dank director on Sept. 16, 2011, the documents show. Dank hosted a party on Oct. 14, 2009 at T-Barz with the band Swollen Members performing." They claim the Dank website featured a photo of two RCMP officers drinking Dank. Looks like Randy changed the name on his Dank energy drink to 420 energy drink and has an LA sponsor. They now call it purple dank.



Update: Ah yes, security cameras. One blog reader suggested they might likely be updating their security cameras. That would make sense. They must do the security cameras at the clubhouses.

Edward Snowden NBC Interview

Now that we've talked about what the Charter of Rights isn't, let's talk about what it is. The Canadian Charter of Rights, like the US Bill of Rights, protects civil liberty in a democratic system or a free republic. The right to commit crime or belong to a criminal organization is not a Charter Right. The freedom of political or religious association is. The protection from unnecessary searches and seizures is. The protection from big brother spying on you without cause is. Those are important rights in a democratic system.

Recently Germany has officially banned Rock Machine as well as Hells Angel patches. No doubt Germany's past history will raise a few eyebrows. Germany isn't known for it's civil liberty. They had Hitler and East Berlin. Both are the prime examples of what a free republic is not and why a Bill of Rights is so necessary to protect civil liberty.

Nevertheless, the right to belong to a criminal organization and extort the public is not a charter right. With the long list of drug trafficking charges, it has become clear that the Hells Angels are not just motorcycle enthusiasts. Banning a group of motorcycle enthusiasts would be illegal. Yet the case law has shown that the Hells Angels are not only deeply involved in drug trafficking, they also use extreme violence to obtain a monopoly on the drug trade. The case law is clear.

The right to commit crime is not a charter right. No one has a charter right to sell crack. No one has a charter right to smoke crack or inject heroin at the tax payers expense. That is such a gross misinterpretation of the Charter of Rights it's not funny. It has distorted the original intent of the charter beyond any recognition whatsoever.

Edward Snowden was recently on an hour long televised interview. The Rolling Stone is reporting that in the hour-long broadcast, Snowden spoke passionately about his desire to serve as a positive example for future whistleblowers, the distinctions between what is moral and what is legal, and how the U.S. government radically changed following 9/11.

He mentioned how he would like to be able to come home and return to the US. Sadly John Kerry referred to him as a traitor which is a bold faced lie. He is a whistle blower. He is being treated like a criminal for exposing unlawful activity. The NSA has been breaking the law and violating the US Constitution which the President and every other elected official has sworn an oath to defend. Edward Snowden is a patriot.

In contrast, John Kerry knows full well about the CIA's drug trafficking. He chaired the Kerry Committee and heard all that evidence confirming that to be true. That makes John Kerry more of a traitor than Edward Snowden. Wiki leaks was a bit different. Although the intent was similar, to expose government misdoings, Edward Snowden did not expose military secrets. He exposed how the NSA has been breaking the law by spying on it's own citizens and on other allies as well. Edward Snowden is a whistleblower not a traitor. The NSA and everyone who defends them including Barrack Obama are the traitors. Just so we are clear on that fact.

Found: One Good BC Criminal Judge

They say a good man is hard to find. Well in the BC criminal courts a good judge is even harder to find. Lao Tzu once said it is better to light one candle than to curse all the darkness. Well today a candle of justice was lit in the dark abyss of BC's criminal injustice system. The Vancouver Province is reporting that a B.C. Supreme Court judge says rehabilitation is a “remote possibility” for a man who committed a string of robberies, unless he deals with his drug addiction. Not only that but he was sentenced to 7 1/2 years less time served for committing seven robberies.

There are two huge breakthroughs here. The first is dealing with prolific offenders. The second is admitting that prolific offenders who steal to support a drug addiction need to address their addiction before they can be expected to be rehabilitated. Remember when court sentences used to include banning the use of drugs or alcohol during probation if proven to be a factor in the crimes committed? Or forcing someone into treatment? Now we freaking give them drugs in prison.

There is a huge public concern with the injustice in the BC criminal courts. Many come right out and say judges are the problem. Others say it's not the judge's it's the laws that need to change. However, that is simply untrue. The criminal code is federal. Ontario doesn't have a problem applying just sentences to criminal acts under the same criminal code. It is clearly a BC problem with an arrogant and out of touch judiciary that thinks they are better then the public because they are learned in the law. In a democratic society the public elects the government that makes the laws the courts enforce. These judges have just memorized a set of watered down jurisprudence that has diluted justice well beyond recognition.

This decision is the logical answer to the Vancouver Police Department's 30 strikes and your out campaign. Logic dictates the more criminal offenses you commit the more time you spend in jail. Currently the BC judges have it backwards. The more crimes you commit the less time you serve in prison. That defies both logic and natural justice.

One could legitimately argue that 7 1/2 years for seven petty theft robberies could be considered excessive since that is more than the minimum sentence for manslaughter with a firearm. The point is a prolific offender should do more time the more offenses they commit not less and if drugs are a factor in committing those crimes then they should be forced into treatment or at least detox.

Another BC Judge Breaks the Law

This is unprecedented and clearly shows that the BC Judicial system is in a State of Emergency. Judges are paid with tax dollars to uphold the law. There is no jurisprudence authorizing them to break the law. The thought seems ludacruous but that is exactly what has happened.

The Federal Government finds out about a crazy pilot project that uses tax dollars to buy heroin for addicts. They cancel the program so the heroin addicts getting the free drugs sue the government and a BC Judge awards an injunction "forcing" the government to use tax dollars to pay for the illegal drug until the case goes to trial. That is totally out of their jurisdiction.

When examining the Vancouver gang war it is clear that the Aldergrove Judicial Review Board is correct: Judges are the Problem. We need a mechanism in place to fire bad judges. We don't need to do away with the Charter of Rights. We need to do away with the bad judges that misinterpret it.



OK so name the judge. Let's have a little public accountability. We can't sue the judge for misconduct if we don't know their name. Whenever a judge makes a decision they cite a law or a case that gives them the authority to make that decision. Where is the law that states the court has the jurisdiction and the authority to break the law? There is none. This decision is lawlessness. It is not a Charter Right to inject heroin at the taxpayers expense. That is treason.

The Chronicles of Doc Riddoch

There have been a whole bunch of rumors about Hells Angel rivals cropping up on the west coast. Without naming names or promoting chaos I will address the matter. We have already seen a bit of agro between the Warlocks and the Dirty Few outside Edmonton. The Dirty Few are of course Hells Angel puppets, the Warlocks are not. Well to make matters worse, the Rebels are setting up shop in that area as well.

I've mentioned the Rebels before. They're a group from Australia. I can't support them because they use a Confederate flag which to me and most other people represents racism and slavery. BC is multi cultural. They'd get killed here. Edmonton is likely their best shot since it's also plagued by the White boy posse who sell drugs for the Edmonton Hells Angels and use Nazi logos.

I have some pictures and some names but I'm not going to post them because I don't want anyone else to get shot. It is really pointless. One of the new Rebel members is an older guy with the computer tech look. He just has that look that makes you ask what the hell are you doing? Someone bored and wants to be something that he really doesn't understand.

Another one of the Rebel members in the Edmonton looks like a nice guy but has that small town hillbilly look. The third one just looks like a complete idiot. He looks like a clown from Wayne's World doing a burnout on a Harley while fingering the camera. Grown men who never grew up.

Although I support a free market and oppose the Hells Angels monopoly on the drug trade I have to ask these guys what the hell are you thinking? There is nothing wrong with riding motorcycles and living the dream but this 1% fetish to sell drugs and pimp the dream is really messed up. Grow up. You have kids now. You should be getting ready to enjoy grand kids not be selling kids hard drugs.

And then there's the Rock Machine in Surrey. When I first heard the news I said three cheers. Finally respite from the Surrey girl idiots. Then we hear it was some kid who has beef with the son of the Whiterock Hells Angel president that called into the Province claiming he was an RM prospect and that the RM were setting up shop in Surrey. Now I find out which kid it was that is pretending to be a RM associate. That guy is a complete idiot and a compete con man. He is a compulsive liar that rips off women. If he is a RM prospect the Rock Machine need to save themselves a lot of misery and cut him loose now before he does any more irreparable damage. Save yourself the hassle of making him a prospect, member then out in bad standing. You don't have to go through all that hassle just to find out the guy is a complete idiot.

I'm not even going to name his name. Most of you know who it is. That clown has been begging me to put him on the gang member registry for years. In fact I had him on it at one time. He sets up fake profiles and starts passing on intel claiming this guy is hard core and has gang affiliations. He's promoting himself with absolute bullsh*t.

So I had the guy on the gang member registry page. Then he starts harassing and extorting this girl sending her links to my gang member registry trying to pretend he is a gang member while he tries to extort her for money. He is as they say a complete con man. He is a fraudster.

You just have to listen to him speak to figure that out. It will take 30 seconds. It's not that the Hells Angels used him and cast him aside. He was fraudulently pimping the Hells Angels and he knows he would never ever make the cut so now he is pretending to have beef with them because they wronged him. That is a lie.

The sad thing is, this guy is such a loser wannabe that he just might actually shoot someone in a desperate attempt to be something. Unfortunately, like we saw with that Clun Clun clown who claimed to have participated in the Kelwona shooting, even if this guy did shoot someone it would never make him something in the underworld any more than it did Clin Clung. If you're a clown shooting someone will not save you. If you want to be somebody in life, get a job. Spend time with your kids. Be a role model. Do something constructive with your life. Slinging crack is not it.

I don't know anything about Doc Riddoch the president of the Whiterock Hells Angels but I do know this kid claiming to have beef with him is a idiot and a liar who will con your daughter out of money then pretend to be a gang member so she doesn't go to the police. Parents beware.

I do think it's amusing how similar Doc Riddoch's name is to the character Riddick in the movie played by Vin Diesel. I understand Vin Diesel will be in another Riddick movie soon. No doubt Doc Riddoch is glad to be rid of the Surrey Girl Princesses. He's likely missing Randy Jones' business forte. It's gotta be hard on business to trade Randy Jones for Villy Lynnerup. Good old toothless isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Back in the day there was nothing wrong with the Gypsy Wheelers. They were normal. They weren't like Ricky Ciarniello and the Satan's Rejects. Everything went downhill as soon as those other lunatics got involved. Some saw the writing on the wall and got out when the getting was good. They were wise to do so.

Outlaw Associate busted in Gander Newfoundland

The RCMP are reporting that on May 25th, 2014, after executing a search warrant in Gander, Newfoundland the police seized a loaded .22 calibre handgun, cocaine, LSD and marihuana. It looks like just trace amount of drugs and that pistol looks like a pea shooter but the axes and machetes are pretty nasty. Interesting to note the Outlaws MC support shirt also seized in the raid. Nicholas Sheppard was arrested and is facing nine charges. LSD? That's kind of retro.

Ukraine Elections Results

We are still waiting for the official results but CBC is reporting that exit polls suggested candy tycoon Petro Poroshenko won Ukraine's presidential election in the first round Sunday.

I'm trying to find a link to today's article in the Vancouver Province because it is absolutely bizarre. It claimed that the Ukraine sent Putin a loud and clear message. That is absurd. Eastern Ukraine didn't vote. We knew western Ukraine was pro EC. He only won with 55% of the vote. That means if Crimea or eastern Ukraine voted, he wouldn't have won.

This shows the double tragedy. Militants in eastern Ukraine blocked voting stations. That is something you never want to do ever. You never want to stop people from voting in an election. I know the theory was we just voted to separate so we're going to boycott their election. The problem is, when you boycott an election that means the other guy wins.

That's exactly what happened to Quebec one year at an Union National convention. Quebecors are passionate. They got pissed off with the politicking and walked out. So what did the English politicians do? They said great. We still have a quorum and our opposition just walked out so now we're going to ram through every crazy policy we want because no one is here to vote it down. That's exactly what they did.

In the 2010 election with Crimea and eastern Ukraine the pro Russian side had enough votes to elect a pro Russian president. In this election, they boycotted and the pro EC side had just enough votes to get elected. Now it's one great big mess. Again I stress you never want to prevent people from voting in an election. The pro Russian forces in the east made a huge mistake. Now, they're screwed. Sadly this whole mess reminds me of one thing: the Greek financial crisis. How it was created by investment fraud tied to key lobbyists who supported this new operation Ajax.

Bacchus in the news

CBC is reporting that Bacchus moves into Halifax area. I'm a bit confused. I thought they were already there. Those were the clowns that were supplying PEI with drugs as well as the Halifax prison. I thought that's where the idiot Pat James with the worst ink I've ever seen having two eyeballs tattooed on the back of his head is from. These guys scream huvkleberry hillbillies.

Maybe they just mean they moved across the inlet from Dartmough into Halifax itself. CBC is reporting that they're opening a new clubhouse in Harrietsfield which is on the other side of Halifax. The Saint John Bacchus club president plead guilty to trafficking crystal meth.

There is however, a huge factual error with the CBC story. They claim the club is respected in the outlaw biker world. You have got to be kidding. Maybe in Wayne's world but certainly not in real life or in the OMG world. Look at their logo. It's the patron saint of homosexuality. Not that there's anything wrong with that but it's certainly not the logo I'd wear or respect.

We've been through this before. They all freaked out and claimed Bacchus was a Greek god of wine. No that was Dionysus. Sergius and Bacchus were two roman soldiers who were openly gay and secretly Christian. They were martyred for being Christian not for being gay. Being gay was OK back then. Now the Hillbilly Bacchus clowns back east slip into rage and denial insisting their Bacchus is the god of wine not the patron saint of homosexuality.

Yeah? Well take a look at your logo. It's a picture of a Roman soldier not of a Greek god. I joke about them being the patron saints of homosexuality. It is highly unlikely there were ever canonized but it's clear they were openly gay and secretly christian. So it is what it its hillbillies. Good luck with your Bacchus pride and your delusion about being respected in the OMG world.



Update: CBC is clarifying that "Nova Scotia’s only outlaw motorcycle gang recently moved its lone chapter to Halifax and has a new lakeside clubhouse in Harrietsfield."

Ontario drug ring linked to Mennonites

This one's rather bizarre. The Hells Angel supporters are loving it. There was a recent drug bust in Ontario tied to a group of Mennonites in southwestern Ontario. Yeah that's not a typo. Obviously it's not something the Mennonite church endorses. It's just a group of Mennonites who wanted to make some money. I just noticed there was another Mennonite drug ring across the Alberta border September 2013. That's kind of shocking.

Kinda like the Mossad. They have been involved in drug trafficking since Operation Watchtower and Iran Contra. Somewhat hypocritical to say the least. Not long ago the police seized a brick of cocaine in BC that had a Star of David stamped on it. If that's not blasphemy, I don't know what is.

A Biblical Allegory

We've talked a fair bit about corruption on various levels. Political corruption often seems overwhelming all on it's own. When we add that to corruption in the upper levels of the police force right up to corruption in the HSBC and on Wall Street it is understandable why so many people adopt the way of the ostrich and bury their heads in the sand. Unfortunately that's not going to make the problem go away in real life. It's like Moses and the golden calf.

It's pretty hard for us to comprehend how any intelligent being could possibly worship a golden calf yet we do in our day. We worship our own golden calves of greed: luxury cars, clothes and jewelry. It's not about worshiping statues it's about worshiping materialism and greed.

Moses was quite the military commander. He killed an Egyptian guard. The Israelites were slaves in Egypt. One of the guards raped a slave's wife and Moses lost it. He beat the guard to death. No doubt he got in trouble for that and went into hiding for a while.

The Book of Jasher claims Moses went south into Sudan and Ethiopia. It contains an interesting story about how Moses led the armies there against an evil power that was in a fortified castle protected by a moat filled with poisonous snakes. It seemed impenetrable but Moses thought outside the box.

He got a group of soldiers to each get a baby crane as a pet and train it. When the cranes were mature he took the army along with the soldiers who had the cranes to confront the castle. The cranes ate the poisonous snakes and Moses' army took the castle. Not bad for doing what they said couldn't be done. That story is found in the book of Jasher which isn't in the Bible or the Apocrypha. The Bible quotes the Book of Jasher but it's not in the Bible. It's one of the lost books missing from the Bible.

Moses is famous for leading the children of Israel out of slavery in Egypt into the promise land. He told Pharaoh Let my people go. When I was on a non religious Kibbutz in Israel I was surprised they celebrated the passover to commemorate the event. I asked them about it and said I thought you guys were non religious. He said we are. This isn't a religious thing it's just part of our history.

Anyways, the biblical story claims Moses went up to the mountains to pray and when he came back he found them all dancing naked around a golden calf. Moses lost it. He couldn't believe they could degenerate so fast after such miraculous things happened in their escape from Egypt. He smashed the first set of commandments and said Who is on the lord's side? Let him come unto me. Then the Levites gathered and they slew 3,0000. Of their own people. They had to cleanse the inner vessel before they were able to proceed to fulfill their destiny.

Can you see where I'm going with this? Right now we face a huge amount of corruption. Right now this level of corruption is a bigger threat to our civil liberty and to our prosperity that Hitler, Stalin or Chairman Mao. Those enemies stood on the other side of the battlefield and tried to conquer our liberty and turn us into slaves. This new enemy is from within. They pretend to be our friends and wrap the flaxen cords around our neck until their lies choke us into slavery.

As tempting as it sounds, I'm not saying we go Boondock saints and start executing all the corrupt politicians out there. Words will retain their power. I am saying we need to be aware of the problem and confront it before we proceed just like Moses did in the past. CSIS is corrupt. The CIA is corrupt. MI 6 is corrupt. This secret combination is a greater threat to our liberty that Russia, China and North Korea combined. Edward Snowden is a hero. Support him.

It has been said that the day will come when all their secret works of darkness will be brought to light. The Pickton cover up needs to be uncovered. The Operation Phoenix story needs to be told. The Fast and Furious story needs to be told. Arise and shine soldiers. Our day has come.

Arrest made in Julie Paskall's murder

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that the suspect who was arrested for the murder of Julie Paskall, the hockey mom beaten to death in Newton has been named. Yosef Jomo Gopaul is scheduled to appear in Surrey court at 9:30 AM Monday, May 26.

No doubt an arrest is a good thing in this horrific tragedy. I'm just really disappointing that absolutely nothing has been done with regards to the endless complaints of the businesses and the residents of Newton about the open drug trafficking that has created a violent crime area that Bill Fordy and Dianne Watts have done nothing about. It's really sad.

Jim Brown's Disciplinary Hearing

Speaking of off duty police officers attending parties at Piggy's Palace, I understand Jim Brown's disciplinary hearing is in the beginning of June. We are told it's supposed to be open to the public but no one is letting us know when or where it is so I doubt that the public will be allowed in. Especially since the RCMP have gone to such bizarre effort to cover up his criminal fantasies. It's hard to maintain public trust when they cover for a guy like that.

No doubt Jim Brown's disciplinary hearing is going to be a complete scam just like the Missing Woman's Inquiry was. The police already investigated him and claimed “[RCMP] Legal Services deemed this to be off duty, non-criminal, adult consensual activity during which the individual was not representing himself as a member of the RCMP and thus did not appear to them to meet the threshold for a Code of Conduct violation."

This new disciplinary hearing is just another kangaroo court to appease the public after his bondage pictures he posted online hit the media. Jim Brown is someone we need to follow up on. Other people know what he's been up to. No matter what bullying and censorship he does, it's something that clearly won't go away. No matter how hard the RCMP brass try.

Speaking of which, if anyone out there has a copy of that picture of Jim Brown and Dave Pickton together that witnesses claim they have seen, I'd sure love to get my hands on it. I'd burr out privates of course. Nobody wants to see that. The question remains, if the police already have the picture, why haven't they done anything about it? Please advise.

Former Kingpin Crew member charged with drug trafficking

Kim Bolan is reporting that a former member of the Kingpin Crew has been charged with drug trafficking in Kelowna. Castanet also ran the story and posted his picture. Quentin James, 37 and Anita Moessner, 31, were initially arrested back in December of last year after James allegedly attempted to mail a package containing three ounces of cocaine to an address in Alberta.

Police then raided James' home, two storage lockers and two safety deposit boxes.They seized various amounts of drugs, including cocaine, marijuana, MDMA, methamphetamine, ecstasy and psilocybin along with a bulletproof vest, brass knuckles, defensive batons, assorted rounds of ammunition and approximately $100,000 in cash.

We know that in January of 2013 the Kingpin crew abandoned their fruit stand by the airport. That would have been shortly after this initial drug bust last Christmas when Quentin tried to mail some cocaine to "someone" in Calgary.

September 2012 Johnny Newcome was busted for running a stolen car ring tied to the Kelowna Hells Angels which also implicated the Kingpin Crew and the Calgary Hells Angels.

February 2013 a judge upheld a ruling classifying the Kingpin crew as a criminal organization. February 2013 they relocated to a residential neighborhood after they abandoned their fruit stand.

I know they were officially disbanded by October of 2013. In May 2013 a member of the Kingpin crew reported his custom motorcycle stolen after he left it outside while he went out of town when he normally didn't park it outside over night.

December 2011 it was reported that Joey Verma was recruiting for the Kingpin Crew in prison and got a new tattoo that said VP as in vice president. Joey was found guilty in the murder of Britney Irving October 2013. Right around the time the Kingpin crew were officially disbanded.

So that means the colors the police seized in this picture were from way back before they were disbanded or he kept a couple as souvenirs. He wasn't selling drugs for the Kingpin crew after October 2013. If he was selling drugs after October 2013 he was doing it under a different umbrella more likely the Independent Soldiers who also work for the Hells Angels. However it doesn't look like this is a new charge. It looks like it is from December 2013.



Evidently, Quentin James was friends with Chad Karylchuk‏ who also sold drugs and was friends with the Hells Angels. He was with Chad and the others on that trip to Mexico in 2007. Chad as we know died of a drug overdose just like Lar's friend William Wendelborg.

In the book Road to Hell, it claims Larry Pace (Lars) killed William Wendelborg in a contract hit ordered by Wolf Carroll’s associate Paul Wilson out in David Giles hometown of Halifax. They knocked him out with a baseball bat and injected him with a lethal dose of cocaine. Larry plead guilty to accessory to murder and served ten years less statutory release. Lars is in Kelowna now. His lake view lot was sold at 2592 Butt Road West Kelowna after that unfortunate house fire. Kinda amusing you can still see an open gas can in the garage with the nozzle still on it. Isn’t that ironic.

Prince Charles' Visit

I see Prince Charles and Camilla were in Halifax last week. I wasn't going to say anything about it because royal visits for me personally are a non issue. I'm sure someone in Halifax would like to visit them just like I'm sure someone in Victoria would like to see them as well. For the rest of us it's pretty much a non issue. I'm not anti the royal family I'm just not into it.

I personally like Charles. He did as he was told and married Dianna which was the best thing that ever happened to the royal family yet things didn't really work out. She was a lot younger than him and he rather be with someone his own age and not so brilliantly beautiful. Him marrying Camilla in the end kinda shows his character. He's not a dirty old man he is a man of dignity and self respect.

However, his recent statement comparing Putin to Hitler over their annexation of Crimea in the Ukraine has got me shaking my head. Does he really think we're that stupid or is he just pulling a Vic Toews and repeating something he was told without thinking about it or actually looking at the voter count last election. Over 70% of the voters in Crimea voted for a pro Russian president in 2010. Over 70%. How much over 70% we don't know but we do know it was over 70%. Enough to help a pro Russian president get elected that election over all.

Letting an unelected coup steam roll over the democratic will of those voters and forcing them to join the EU would be much more of an act of Hitler than Putin protecting them from that coup and annexing them from it. We've talked a fair bit about the conflict in the Ukraine. It's pretty clear the West of the Ukraine don't want to join Russia and the East of Ukraine doesn't want to join with the EU. That's pretty clear from the voter polls in the 2010 election.

What concerns me is the blind nonsense that doesn't make sense. It makes me wonder who's feeding him that kind of BS MI-6? We need to ask MI-6 what British Agents were doing in Iraq dressed as Arabs with a car load of guns and explosives. We need to ask them why they shot at local police the allies put in place at a roadblock and refused to tell them what their secret missions dressed as Arabs was. Instead of revealing that sinister mission England leveled the prison that was holding them and helped them escape without a trial or an explanation.

There are a lot of things MI-6 does that need explanation. God save the Queen and the future Kings. Charles and William both. God save them from the lies of MI-6.

Just for the record, Communist China is a much bigger threat to civil liberty than Russia and no one seems to have a problem with Communist China. They have launched a new campaign to demolish churches there. It's hard to conceive that kind of communism can still exist in our modern world. Telling someone they aren't allowed to be Christian or Jewish or Muslim. It is bizarre. That is not a free republic.

This is why China should not have our oil rights. We should not be funding their military expansion and their destruction of civil liberty every time we get gouged at the gas pumps.

As for the Ukraine, here's a link a blog reader just sent in:

Pierre Omidyar co funded Ukraine revolution groups

The Hells Angels control of street Prostitution

OK here's part two. We've established two things. The Hells Angels involvement with the drug trade as well as their involvement with prostitution and human trafficking. It is hard to conceive that they would be in any way involved with street prostitution in East Vancouver or in Surrey, but they are. They control it.

Let's talk about the Front Room. The epicenter of drug related violence in Surrey. This is where Janice Shore was last seen before she was brutally murdered for a nominal drug debt. I've talked about the predatory drug dealers outside the Front Room before. They are very aggressive and very violent. I've mentioned how violent they are towards street prostitutes there.

I've always had a hard time visualizing a Surrey or East Vancouver crack ho having a pimp extorting their wages. Now I find out the drug dealers are the pimps. The drug dealers give the street prostitutes crack and create a debt. Then when they get a trick they have to bring the money back to them to repay the debt.

Annette Allan worked outside the Front Room. She was murdered at the Surrey House of Horrors and was dumped in the Fraser River. Joseph Francis Legassie, 38, of Surrey was originally charged with her murder but that charge was dropped and replaced with the lesser charge of unlawful confinement.

Joanna Larson confessed to murdering Annette Allan. She beat her with a hammer and stabbed her nine times with a screwdriver. Wrapped her up in a blanket with rocks and dumped her body in the Fraser River. Jojo was released from prison for that murder in 2011.

Annette was picked on because she wasn't particularly good-looking, and they were trying to make it $40 no less. She'd come back with $20 and that lowered the bar for everyone else. Jojo's claim that Annette was a rat was a bold faced lie.

Teri-Lyn Williams was another sex trade worker in Surrey that was found dead outside Tbarz in 2010. Dustin Lee Lalonde confessed to her murder but we know that often guys in prison will be paid to confess to other crimes they didn't commit.

Recently we talked about Larry Robert Mizen. Another drug dealer and pimp outside the Front Room with a long history of violence. He always had a female co accused as well. Just like Colleen, that fat ugly white girl outside the Front Room right now terrorizing all the sex trade workers there. I think these service providers need better representation than the Hells Angels because the HAs just aren't protecting them from the violence and exploitation at all. They are the ones benefiting from it. If they control the drugs outside the Front Room then they ultimately control the street prostitution there as well.

The drug dealers that exploit the sex trade workers outside the Front Room also demand free service. That tree where they murdered Janice Shore is where they go to get free blow jobs from the sex trade workers they exploit. This is why we have to target the drug dealer outside the Front Room. They are the source of all the violence.

Take a look at the before and after pictures of Teri-Lyn Williams. The first picture is of Terry after her drug addiction in Surrey. The bottom one is of Terry in Alberta taken in 1996. Crack is a poison we have to oppose. We also have to oppose the Hells Angels involvement in human trafficking.



Let's also remember Shannon Collins who was murdered in Edmonton. Her sister was told she was leaving for Calgary to work for the Hells Angels. However, since she was living what police described as a high risk lifestyle, it appears she had already been working for the boys in Edmonton. Georgina Papin was also originally from Edmonton. Her DNA ended up on the Pickton farm. It's a slippery slope. They start off recruiting exotic dancers. Then it's all about strippers and blow. Soon that turns to crack and as soon as the drugs eats away at the woman's beauty and she stops making money she is no longer an asset and is disposed of as a liability.

To all the Mary Magdalenes out there I encourage you to walk away from the drugs. Just walk away and if you can't walk away, run. Run for your life. While you still can. If the drugs won't kill you the one dealing them to you will. Buyer Beware.
