Imperial Metals Update: Stop the Lies

When a corporation like Imperial Metals lies in court, that is called perjury. When they lie to the media they call it good business. B.C. gov warns against drinking water in path of tailings pond spill. “Boiling will not help,” the government said in an update Thursday. Boiling the water will not help because it's not a parasite or a germ, it's a metal. Boiling water will not get the lead out. Or the arsenic. Or the mercury. Eating fish filled with mercury will poison you. This is a tributary to the Fraser river in a salmon spawning ground. The water is not drinkable. This much mercury will poison a 20 acre lake. Sue them in court.



As soon as the dam broke, the first two lies were instantaneous. They were implemented with the malicious intent to minimize the extent of the damages and evade legal liability with regards to criminal negligence. The first bold faced lie was from Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch. "If you asked me two weeks ago if this could have happened, I would have said it couldn't." We have two witnesses and a documented environmental report that proves that was a bold faced lie. "This is a gut-wrenching experience, I can assure you it is for me," he responded. "I don't know why it happened." That was the first lie.

The second lie was like unto it. Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said "It's very close to drinking water quality, the water in our tailings," he said. "There's almost everything in it but at low levels.... No mercury, very low arsenic and very low other metals." That is simply untrue. The water in the tailing pools was full of lead, arsenic and mercury. That is why they were held in a tailing pond and not released into the waterways.

A summary of material dumped into the tailings pond filed last year with Environment Canada listed 326 tonnes of nickel, over 400,000 kilograms of arsenic, 177,000 kilograms of lead and 18,400 tonnes of copper and its compounds. According to preliminary data from Environment Canada’s 2013 National Pollutant Release Inventory, the Mount Polley mine disposed of 406,122 kilograms of arsenic in 2013, 177,041 kg of lead and 3,114 kg of mercury. “Mercury, lead and arsenic are just three of the substances found within the pond,” adds Louis “The environmental impact on the river systems and surrounding land will not be truly felt for some time.”

Gerald MacBurney, a foreman at the dam for seven years before he recently quit, said the dam was breached last May and that weakened the whole system. Yet the criminal negligence began long before that. Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch lied and said that never happened when clearly it did. Kynoch said the dam had never before failed, although there had been some overflow into the Hazeltine Creek in May. That's the point. Toxic water leaked out of the tailing pond before.

Bev Sellers, chief of the Xatsull First Nation, said warnings in a 2011 environmental report about the pond, commissioned by her band, the Williams Lake First Nation and Imperial Metals Corp., were not heeded by the company. Ex-engineers also warned tailings pond was getting large. A wastewater treatment process should have been put in.

An environmental consulting firm says it first raised concerns in 2011 about the Mount Polley mine. Brian Olding, president of Brian lding & Associates, said his company was hired three years ago to review and evaluate a report produced by Imperial Metals. The report was seeking permission from the B.C. Ministry of Environment to dispose of water from the mine's tailings pond into the nearby Hazeltine Creek. This time the company was trying to shift the blame to the BC Government for not giving them permits to release small amounts of toxic water into the waterways. The point is, the water has to be treated first before that can happen. It's not the BC Government's fault the company refused to treat the water first.

Instead of following the recommendations of the environmental report, the recklessness continued filling it with more water. Instead of treating the water they spent their available cash on hand on a new site at the Red Chris mine south of Dease Lake to continue the reckless practice of mining beyond their means. Instead of treating the water they just kept building bigger and bigger tailing ponds. Just like with the oil sands water. Those tailing ponds are leaking too. Putting a tar sands tailing pool right beside a river is irresponsible.



The solution is simple

The solution is simple. Imperial Metals must cease and desist mining until they start treating the toxic water they create. It's that simple. Most of the toxins can be removed by distilling the water. Yet even that won't get rid of the mercury but Reverse Osmosis will and that's too costly and time consuming so instead of that they spend a few dollars bribing politicians and First Nation Bands to give them permission to mine recklessly.

Sue them

The people of British Columbia need to join a class action law suit suing Imperial Metals for damages and for criminal negligence. A cease and desist order needs to be produced on their mines until they start treating the toxic water they create instead of just putting it in a tailing pond with the hope that the BC Government will let them release small amounts of toxic untreated water into the water ways. This class action must be separate from and in addition to any class action from the First Nations communities that agreed to the mine. We the people who live and reside in British Columbia have an equal claim in the courts for damages and an equal right to a cease and desist order. This class action needs to comprise the residents of BC as well as the commercial fishermen of BC and everyone else who has been adversely affected by this spill which pretty much includes everyone. As tax payers we are in essence shareholders in the province.

Trade agreements that destroy sustainability

This environmental disaster is a wake up call on another front. These insane trade agreements that have nothing to do with free trade and everything to do with removing our civil liberty. First it started off with NAFTA Chapter 11 compensation awards where corporations can sure governments for creating laws that inhibit their ability to make a profit. One of the many absurd examples in NAFTA chapter 11 was how a company successfully sued the government for banning them from dumping (PCP) toxic waste. That absurd award has absolutely nothing to do with free trade and building the economy. It has everything to do with crippling the economy and removing democracy.

Then Gordon Campbell's corupt BC Rail Liberals came up with TILMA. Another insane trade agreement that makes it illegal for any level of government to make a law that would inhibit a corporation's ability to make a profit. For example, under TILMA, Imperial Metals can sue the BC Government if they stop them from operating because of their recklessness. That closed door agreement has removed our democratic system. Now they have expanded it and called it the New West Partnership Trade Agreement. Again it has nothing to do with free trade. It lets corporations destroy the environment at will. That agreement is in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and needs to be challenged in the courts because they keep on doing it and expanding it.

Stephen Harper has the same thing with Communist China under FIPA. It's not about free trade it's about letting corporations remove our rights. This is reckless irresponsibility. Sustainable mining is not a eco terrorist term. It is good business. Preston Manning said being good stewards of the environment is the same as being fiscally irresponsible. We avoid debt so our children don't become in bondage to it. We protect the environment so our children have an economy to thrive in after we are dead and gone. Stephen Harper is falling. Finish him. Our civil liberty is at stake.

It's not that we're opposed to business. Everyone wants jobs. Everyone wants a thriving economy. Everyone supports business. We support sustainable business. Canadian mining companies have a horrible reputation in Columbia and around the world for being reckless and irresponsible. This needs to stop. As investors and consumers we can do better. Remember the Alberta Wheat Pool by second Narrows bridge? Selling China wheat instead of coal is good business. Wheat doesn't damage the environment. That is progressive.



In Washington State, Canadian mining giant Teck Resources Ltd. has admitted in a U.S. court that effluent from its smelter in southeast British Columbia has polluted the Columbia River in Washington for more than a century. A Washington state woman filed a class-action lawsuit against Teck Resources (TSX:TCK.B), claiming toxic pollutants from the company’s smelter in southeastern British Columbia are to blame for her breast cancer diagnosis and other health ailments. A Washington state judge ruled the Canadian company is liable for the cost of cleaning up the contamination of the river south of the border. It's not just the cost of clean up, it's legal damages. Canadian Smelter Spills 25,000 Liters of Chemical Solution into the Columbia River.

In Costa Ricca a Canadian mining company sued the the Costa Rican government over the canceled Las Crucitas gold mining concession. The concession was revoked in 2010 following environmental concerns and doubts about the concession’s legality. The corupt company claimed that Costa Rica violated the Costa Rica-Canada Bilateral Investment Treaty when an Administrative Appeals Court revoked its mining concession in San Carlos, Alajuela, in 2010 and sued for a billion dollars in damages. The Costa Rican government was forced to let them continue their hazardous practices. These trade agreements remove our democratic sovereignty.

Colombian town forcibly relocated due to air contamination from open-pit coal mining. So why are we shipping coal through our ports in Surrey? Just like asbestos. That is not progressive. Natural gas is much cleaner burning than coal.

Threat of Mercury Poisoning Rises With Gold Mining Boom. So now we have our military protecting reckless mining companies helping them destroy the environment in other countries around the world. These are dark days so they are. The corporation is corrupt. Corporate Communism is the biggest current threat to our civil liberty known to man.



This is how criminals perpetuate fraud. First they form a corporation. In fact they form many corporations or shell companies to hide their tracks and shield themselves from legal liability. If you file for personal bankruptcy that stays on your file for seven years. Not if you create a corporation that goes bankrupt after committing fraud. That's why the same criminals get away with doing the same thing over and over again.

Two dead in Chilliwack shooting

1130 News is reporting that "two people are dead after an early morning shooting in Chilliwack. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has confirmed three people were shot at a home on Gore Avenue. Two died while a third was taken to the hospital." Everyone's pretty much reporting the same thing now. No names or details yet. CBC posted a local map. Drug related crime has risen in Chilliwack lately and Stefan (Harjit) Singh Kondolay was shot dead in Chilliwack last month.

Environmental disaster at Mount Polley Mine

This is why residents of British Columbia do not trust Oil companies like Enbridge or mining companies like Imperial Metals. They don't give a flying f*uck about the environment. They only care about cutting corners and censoring the media.

Global is reporting that a breach of the tailings pond on Mount Polley Mine sent five million cubic metres of toxic waste into Hazeltine Creek, Quesnel Lake and Polley Lake, with fears it could spread far and wide in the coming days. That's an amount of water equivalent to about 2,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Local residents are calling it an environmental disaster. These are tributaries to the Fraser River. Everything is f*cked.

The waterways affected by the ban, which earlier included Quesnel Lake, Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Cariboo Creek, now also include the entire Quesnel and Cariboo river systems right up to the salmon-bearing Fraser River. I've got a lot more to say about this but am too upset to talk.

The devastation up the lake is unbelievable

Mount Polley mine tailings breach is a wake-up call



Imperial Metals are the lunatics that want to blow up Catface mountain and turn it into an open pit mine. They want to blow the top off a pristine mountain in a protected biosphere and let all the mess and toxic metals fill the Claquot sound. Investors do not invest in Imperial Metals. They are a bad investment. Their reckless greed is shameful. Boycott them.



Criminal Negligence

The Globe and Mail is reporting that Gerald MacBurney, a foreman at the dam for seven years before he recently quit, said the dam was breached last May and that weakened the whole system. Yet the criminal negligence began long before that.

Imperial Metals Update: Stop the Lies

Drug Overdose at Boonstock Music Festival

News 1130 is reporting that 37 people have been taken to Penticton Regional Hospital in the last day, becoming sick while attending the Boonstock Music Festival. 80 people have been treated over the course of the weekend, and a woman in her 20′s from Alberta died Friday night from a suspected overdose. Grace Kucey with the Interior Health Authority says most ailments are drug or alcohol related, made worse when combined with the intense heat.

CTV is confirming that A 24-year-old Alberta woman died of a suspected drug overdose at Boonstock music festival in Penticton, B.C. this weekend. Local RCMP said at the time of the woman’s death that another 12 people had been treated for drug overdoses at Boonstock festival, and that two people were hospitalized and in critical condition.

That's a lot of drug overdoses. I doubt that many people would be doing heroin at a music festival. We need to come clean about what type of drug it is and talk about the likelihood of some bad drugs being out there. Police have ruled out foul play in the suspicious death at the Pemberton Music festival but the cause of death has not yet been determined.

Update: As BF has pointed out there was 15 drug overdoses and two fatalities at a music concert in Toronto this week end as well. When they make reference to the party drug it sounds like they are referring to extacy (MDMA). Only since no one can get the real sassafras oil to make extacy anymore they find a substitute and make something else called PMMA or BZP that is way more toxic resulting in way more fatalities. Consumers need to realize that when they buy extacy now it's not extacy it's something else. That many overdoses is a concern for everyone.

Religion in the modern world

They say that religion and politics are the two subjects one should never discuss because they are so divisive. Yet they are of profound importance because they govern our civil liberty both in this life and in the life here after. Politicians start and end wars. Politicians support and oppose genocide. Politicians support and oppose civil liberty. Then there's the Devil. The author of slavery himself.

Some people say I don't believe in God. Do you believe in the devil? Do you believe in the existence of good and evil? Good and evil are empirical forces we can tangibly observe. Leaving religion aside, we can all concur that good and evil do exist. My mother used to always say there is a little bit of good in the worst of us and a little bit of bad in the best of us so it behooves us to look for the good in each other.

Recently I was speaking with a few parents about teaching children about religion so they can choose for themselves when they get older. How are the kids going to be able to choose if we don't teach them anything to choose from? One parent said their spouse didn't like the bible because it was written by a man. They said they can't believe anything that's written by a man. I have a hard time accepting that logic. The Constitution and the Charter of Rights were written by men. Those are inspired documents that protect our civil liberty. Clearly God can inspire men and women. Martin Luther King was certainly inspired.

It's somewhat ironic that the Hells Angels refer to their business meetings as church. Conducting business and betrayal of drug trafficking and prostitution is not godly. The top picture is of Adam Hall the Sergeant at Arms for the Pittsfield, Massachusetts Hells Angels and his co accused with devil horn implants and the number 666 tattooed to his forehead. Adam Hall has been accused of forced prostitution and of murdering a witness that was going to testify against him. His co accused looks like he needs some professional help.

I realize that 666 also means filthy few fellowship but this associate is not a patch holder and everyone knows that 666 has another meaning as well. Vincent Price's eloquent introduction to Iron Maiden's song 666 the number of the beast reaffirms the given that the number 666 also refers to the devil. It baffles me how any intelligent being would possibly brag about supporting evil and the father of all lies. AC/DC once said if you're evil, you're a friend of mine.

I have a hard time accepting that logic. Good and evil exist. Rape and murder is evil. Lying is evil. Betraying your friends for money is evil. If you do any of those things you can't be a friend of mine. Anyone who does any one of those things is untrustworthy. Embracing that is counter productive.

The essence of religion is treating others the way you want to be treated. That is the golden rule. It's common sense really. When I was young I enjoyed studying Zen as part of the martial arts. Alan Watts once said that the literal translation of the Greek word sin was to miss the mark. He said that if our purpose in life is to find happiness, then to sin would be to miss that mark like an archer misses his target. When we sin we do things that take us away from inner peace and lasting happiness.

I'm somewhat cynical of the hypocrisy and intolerance in organized religion yet I am a big supporter of the freedom of religion and agree that most religions teach us to improve our lives and treat each other the way we want to be treated. For me the existence of God is a given. It is scientific. The third law of thermo dynamics declares that in a closed system order does not increase all by itself.

If I throw a pile of wood and a bunch on nails on my front lawn, it won't magically build a house all on it's own in 300 or 3,000 years. In fact the opposite is the case. In 300 or a 3,000 years my house will begin to decay and fall apart. It's like the Mona Lisa. We cannot deny it exists and the thought that paint scattered across the canvass all by itself is rather absurd. Paintings have painters. Houses have builders. Creation has a creator.



Today I heard a reformed heroin addict who has been clean for 40 years cite Voltaire's argument who said when he sees a clock or a watch he knows those items were created they didn't just happen by chance. I remember many years ago going to the British museum in London England. I saw the skull of the missing link between man and ape which "proved" the "theory" of evolution.

They actually only had three small skull fragments they found from three different locations that fit on the back of the skull. They dated the fragments and said that because it comes from the time period where we think the missing link should have existed, they reconstructed a skull from those three fragments of what they thought the missing link might look like. Only they weren't reconstructing it based on other skulls from missing links they found. They created a brand new skull based on what they thought it might look like. When I saw that as a young man searching for truth I was pissed. That is not science. That is nonsense. All these years we were taught that was science when in reality it is anything but.

I have no problem if someone embraces the theory of evolution. Just remember it's a theory and is in reality very far from science. It's hard for me to conceive that the claim that man crawled out of the ocean, evolved from apes and ceases to exist when he dies is anything but intelligent or scientific. When we die and we realize we are still conscious of our surroundings, we will then know that teaching is false. To me it just seems so empty and incomplete.

I will be the first person to admit that I tend to trust atheists more than I trust many religions people simply because when an atheist does good they aren't doing it to get a reward, they are doing it because they believe it's the right thing to do. I find that admirable. With or without religion, with or without God or the Devil, Good and Evil do exist in our world and we are free to choose between the two. Christians are taught not to judge others but we are taught to judge between good and evil. Like it our not, life does not end at death and as we sow so shall we reap.



Piltdown Man: Britain's Greatest Hoax

Montreal gang leader shot dead

CBC is reporting that Ducarme Joseph, the leader of the 67 gang tied to the crips was shot dead last night in Montreal. This is significant because he is without question a big player with a long criminal history in the Montreal drug scene. He was very wealthy and made some serious coin.

It's also interesting because August 2012 Chenier Dupuy, leader of a north Montreal street gang called Bo-Gar was shot dead. The Bo Gars were affiliated with the bloods who under normal circumstances are enemies of the crips. It's also interesting how that murder was also tied directly to the Hells Angels.

Greg Wooley was a Caribbean brother that Mom Boucher the white supremacist got to sell drugs to all of the crips in Montreal. There was a big meeting between the African street gangs in Montreal where Greg was trying to convince everyone to unite and sell drugs for the Hells Angels. Chenier told him to f off and slapped him in front of everyone. Greg was small Chenier was big. Not long after that Chenier was shot dead.

MSN News claimed the crips were also known as the blues. I've never heard the crips referred to that before. That sounds more like a jazz band. They must have meant the crips are associated with the colour blue while the bloods are associated with the colour red. Those gangs started in LA where they were bitter rivals. Snoop Dogg was affiliated with the crips while Tupac was affiliated with the bloods.

Bo Gars is taken from the French. Bo being slang for beau which means handsome and Gars being short for garcon the French word for boys. So the name of the gang means handsome boys but since we wouldn't really say that on the street in English a better translation would be hot guys. The point is the Hells Angels were indeed directly involved with these gangs and the reason Ducarme Joseph was so wealthy is because he was working for the Hells Angels. At least at one point he was. The fact that he might have acquired a new supplier might have been the reason why he was shot however he could have just as easily been shot by a rival. Yet if it was a rival you'd think they would have shot Wooley not Joseph. This sounds more like Wooley pulling a Mom Boucher and eliminating political opposition to me.

856 Not

The Globe and Mail is reporting that B.C.’s anti-gang unit says it has arrested three high-ranking members of the 856 gang. Only there is no such thing as a high ranking member of the 856 gang. As Kim Bolan has pointed out, the 856 gang takes it's name from the area code to Aldergrove. No one in their right mind would name themselves after the area code for Aldergrove. We jokingly refer to the 604 but that's just a joke. The 856 is even lamer than the 604. Pttbull refers to the 305 in Florida. If you want to quote a New York, LA or Miami area code so be it but no one trying to be hard core would ever name themselves after an area code from Aldergrove.

Nevertheless, this is an interesting turn of events. It shows that Len Pelletier was wrong when he said there is no 856 gang any more when he drove his car into a tree after being shot at by them. Yet 2 1/2 kilograms of cocaine and 3.8 kilograms of crystal meth isn't chump change. My question is where did they get it from? It either came from the Hells Angels or the UN and my guess is the Hells Angels.

It certainly wouldn't be the first time the Hells Angels took the name of some other group for one of their puppet clubs. Case in point, the Independent Soldiers and the Red Scorpions. Interestingly enough one blog reader sent in a comment from Kim Bolan's blog where one of her blog readers claimed that the new 856 gang is run by Len Pelletier's son Caylen Pelletier. They referred to the 856 gang as Peltier's puppets. Now that is worth looking in to.



It's also worth noting that the picture from the police press conference is of many bags of "buffer." 2 kilos of cocaine would fit in 2 bags. All those bags aren't cocaine they are of a cutting agent that's used to deworm cattle - Levamisole. The Langley Advanced referred to it by it's street name superbuff. 44 kilos worth. Levamisole is used to cut crack because it waters down the crack while keeping it's solid form hence the term rock. It gives humans flesh eating disease. This is another example of greed. Watering down crack with a cutting agent that rots your flesh.

Granite Falls Deep Cove

I took a break and paddled the kayak up Deep Cove to Granite Falls on Wednesday. They say the wind often picks up around noon which was fine because it was at my back heading up the cove. I camped overnight and headed back early in the morning before the wind picked up. The stars at night were pretty awesome. Getting away from all the city lights and seeing the brightness of the endless stars is very humbling. Makes you feel pretty insignificant so it does. The universe is much bigger than you and I.



Vancouver is nice but it's most certainly not the nicest place on earth. The fecal counts are very high in all our beaches right now. Whenever I go kayaking in the Lower mainland I always see a seal. This time I saw tons. People wonder why our salmon counts are down. No doubt the fact that we stopped clubbing the seals has been a factor. With so many seals everywhere that's clearly going to impact the salmon counts. The seals are eating them all.



You can only get there by boat. This is silver falls on the way there.



This is looking up the cove from Raccoon Island.



There's more to life than greed and betrayal. Peace.

Canadian arrested in Costa Rica

As one blog reader pointed out Inside Costa Rica is reporting that a Canadian wanted by Interpol has been arrested. They believe it's Cory Vallee from the UN - not.

Update: Well third time lucky. Turns out it wasn't Cory either it was Michel Emond. He's from Quebec and is wanted to producing / trafficking crystal meth. A Quebec paper states he a is son of the late Richard "Crow" Emond who was a member of the Hells Angels.

Richmond drive by shootings / Maple Ridge

The Richmond Review is reporting that there were two drive by shootings in Richmond Monday night with as many as 24 shots fired. No one was injured. Police claim it was targeted but didn't look gang related. Scan BC reported that #MapleRidge #RCMP were on scene with a male shot in the abdomen last night at 10300 240 St. Apparently the victim has died in hospital.

Hells Angel Sylvain Tétreault arrested

CBC is reporting that a Hells Angel member from Quebec named Sylvain Tétreault has been arrested and will be charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Again.

In 1998, Tetreault was sentenced to six years for a murder attempt on a member of the Dark Circle, a group of drug dealers opposed to the Hells Angels. On his RCMP most-wanted page Tetreault is listed as being sought for murder, drug trafficking, conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to commit drug trafficking, based on actions that took place following his release.

CTV is reporting that Hells Angels biker Sylvain Tetreault, 48, one of a handful of suspects on the lam since a massive bust in 2009, has been arrested in Bois des Filion as part of the SharQc Operation. Sixty-five of the 156 indicted in April 2009 pleaded guilty. Eighteen of the 28 that were not initially found were eventually brought in but as of January, the other 10 remained sought by authorities. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court upheld a stay of proceedings against 31 of the Hells Angels members and sympathizers swept up in that operation.

Although you have to admit the Quebec Hells Angels have always been a cut above the rest, it still boils down to drug dealers murdering rival drug dealers to obtain a monopoly on the drug trade. Often it includes murdering your own people over greed. No L & R there soldier.



Skeletor's First Stolen Motorcycle

Breaking My Silence on Life in the RCMP

The Tyee pasted an article about Janet Merlo's book No One to Tell: Breaking My Silence on Life in the RCMP. More than 330 women are now involved in sexual harassment claims against the RCMP. Tim Shields is a lying POS and so is the RCMP management for supporting his lies.

CBC quoted Janet Merlo as stating: "During my first few years as an RCMP officer, I had a supervisor who kept a naked blowup doll in his office. And during the nightshifts, he would keep it standing ... and when I'd bring in files for reading he'd ask me to stand next to it to see who was taller." RCI quoted Janet Merlo as stating: “You just don’t speak out against those who outrank you,” she writes, which is why no-one dared to say anything about a particular sergeant who always came to work drunk.

Evidently Janet Merlo is the lead plaintiff in the class-action lawsuit against the RCMP not Catherine Galliford. Catherine is just one of many RCMP officers with the same complaint. Instead of employing a task force to harass her they could easily settle that one if they had any honest desire whatsoever of dealing with the truth instead of perpetuating lies and slander.

Arrest in Abbotsford Stabbing Spree / Surrey temp gun

Abby News is reporting that William Anton Butz has been charged with aggravated assault after stabbing four people in Abbotsford on Saturday. Butz has a long criminal history of drug trafficking and theft in Abbotsford and Kelowna.



Update: Turns out the guy with a knife at the Surrey Safeway was a nutbar. He didn't push someone into the glass floral refrigerator he jumped into it himself, picked up a temp gun and started shooting it at the police. They panicked. One cop screamed out he's got a gun and they all draw their weapons prepared to shoot him dead and the manager yells out stop! It's not a gun. It's a temp gun. Just give him our record book so he can record the temps for us. That's when four cops simultaneous taser the guy. Absolutely bizarre. Kinda like the stapler incident at the airport. Thank God the manager spoke up in time and prevented a fatality. Airport video.

Dean Wiwchar

Dean Wiwchar is a Hells Angels associate through Larry Amero and Rabih Alkhalil. He was charged in Larry Amero’s Montreal drug bust. He was also charged along with Rabih Alkhalil for the murder of John Raposo in Toronto. After that arrest, he was also charged with various firearm offenses in Vancouver which appear to have originated in Surrey.

He's also a suspect in the Sheriton Wall Centre murder of Sandip Duhre. Police sources say that Alkhalil was the mastermind behind the Duhre murder, while Wiwchar was the suspected hitman. Sources say Wiwchar was captured on video surveillance in the vicinity of the Wall Centre on the night of the murder. Sources claim he's back in town to face the Vancouver charges. July 17th 2013 Suzanne Hyslop, his coaccused in the firearm related offenses was ordered to stand trial.

Red Scorpion arrested in Alberta

The Calgary Herald is reporting that a member of the Red Scorpions and three associates have been arrested in Alberta. Search warrants executed in Airdrie, Red Deer and Calgary last week focused on the gang's drug-trafficking operation and its infiltration of the Alberta market. Police say firearms and drugs have been seized.

Let's be clear about one thing. Neither the Bacon brothers nor the Red Scorpions are nototious. They are notoriously whacked. They are hated and despised. No one likes them for good reason. The Surrey Six totally crossed the line. Everyone and their dog has flipped on them over that. The Bacon brothers are suburban princesses from Abbotsford that were empowered by the Hells Angels. They adopted the ridiculous logo that looks like a cheap Karate school tied to Red Lobsters.

The Bacon brothers took over the Red Scorpions during the Surrey Six and made them a Hells Angels puppet club just like the Independent Soldiers are. Unlike in Edmonton, the Calgary Hells Angels are trying to distance themselves from drug trafficking. In Edmonton there's no hiding their direct involvement. However, in Calgary the Independent Soldiers work for the Hells Angels and have been supplying the FOB. The UN have been supplying the FK. When the Red Scorpions arrived in Alberta, that's still part of the Hells Angels drug trafficking network.



Update: The Edmonton Journal is reporting that the name of the Red Scorpion arrested is Cory James Lesperance, 29. Global is reporting that Cory is originally from BC and that his associates that have been arrested are Robin Joseph Stewart, 52, Nicholas David James White, 21, and Amber McLeod, 23. Police seized crystal meth, pot, cocaine and some firearms. Police claim this drug trafficking network has been in operation for two years. Cory and the three associates have been accused of establishing a drug distribution network in Calgary, Airdrie and Red Deer. Gee, I wonder who else we know that lives in Airdrie? Alberta Police Report



Kim Bolan is reporting this is a picture of Cory James Lesperance. You've got to be kidding. I saw that profile on facebook and said no way. That's notoriously whacked alright. Look at the double chin on that chubby chicken. Geeks of the world unite! The Red Lobsters have sure got desperate since the HAs took them over.

Meanwhile, reports are coming in that the Warlocks had a huge presence in Fort McMurray this weekend and that the Rebels are on a huge recruitment drive in Drayton Valley. I guess they're not very intimidated by the chubby chicken.



Last weekend Black Pistons from Quebec were seen in Wasaga Beach as well. We know the Black Pistons were busted in St Catherines and patched over to become Outlaws in Newfoundland. It appears that the heat is on.

Surf's up on Mount Baker

Yesterday I took the Heliotrope trail up Hog's Back to the Glacier on Mount Baker. The conditions were ideal. I was a bit concerned about the conditions of the crevasses but they were fine. Later on in the summer the crevasses open wide up and are huge. Right now they're still filled with snow and you can step over them.



If you notice the footprints in the snow there's a little dip in the middle. That's a crevasse. Right now it's full of snow. I was up there one year at the end of August and those crevasses were very wide and very deep. You couldn't just step over them and you sure don't want to fall into one. That's why people who ascent the summit do it in groups and are tethered. I've never done the summit of Baker. That's a long ways away from the base camp. I just usually go up to or just past the Roman Wall. It's pretty awesome.













I saw a marmot on Hog's back again. They're kinda like a groundhog.

Texas cops on the take

The Borderland Beat is reporting that in Hidalgo County, nine former lawmen were recently sentenced on federal drug charges, much of this involving a police drug unit ripping off drugs and escorting cars carrying drugs. Lupe Treviño, the former Hidalgo County Sheriff was just sentenced to five years for taking money from a drug trafficker.

He plead guilty two weeks after resigning as sheriff. Now we find out that 60 weapons are unaccounted for at the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office. Operation Fast and Furious revisited. This wasn't just one dirty cop. This was the sheriff and eight other lawmen. It's also tied to the murder of Julian Pesina, a Balcones Heights police officer with alleged gang ties.



This case is reminiscent of the Mayor and Police Chief of Columbus, New Mexico who were involved with arms trafficking for the Mexican cartel. Chief Vega called the feds after counsellor Blas Gutierrez was pulled over and had several guns confiscated and asked the feds for the guns back. Then a day or two later they bought more guns and had those confiscated as well.

At the time I said that since they were so bold as to ask the feds for the guns back, they must have felt they were operating under a higher authority than the feds I.E. the CIA. People said I was crazy for making that claim but since the story broke about Operation Fast and Furious, that premise isn't very far off.

Jimmy Cournoyer will be sentenced in August

The Borderland Beat is reporting that Canadian Drug Kingpin, Jimmy Cournoyer, also known as Cosmo, will be sentenced August 20th after pleading guilty to drug trafficking last year. Apparently U.S. feds are now seeking a 30 year sentence, arguing that a lighter sentence would amount to little incarceration time for Cournoyer, due to the fact he has elected to spend his sentence in Canada. Canada has a very liberal probation system that would drastically cut actual time spent behind bars. The liberal probation system they refer to is the mandatory statutory release after two thirds of the sentence is served.

This is the drug ring that was tied to the Hells Angels in Canada where 83 kilograms of cocaine and 60,000 MDMA pills were seized. In total, more than 100 defendants have plead guilty to narcotics trafficking charges since the investigation commenced in 2007. Clearly Cosmo is not the Kingpin any more than Rob Shannon was. Rob had a luxury boat, Jimmy had a luxury car. Both of them worked for the Hells Angels. If you want to charge the kingpin you have to charge the Hells Angels otherwise they'll just get another puppet.

No doubt Cosmo was a high level money launderer and was well paid. Yet it's clear he was laundering money for the Hells Angels and that he worked for them. The connection to the Mexican cartel is insignificant since that is where the cocaine came from that the BC Bud was exchanged for. The BC Bud the Hells Angels control. The Bonanno crime family connection is insignificant as well. They are the ones who were buying the BC Bud.

This is the same drug ring Larry Amero has been charged in. However, even Larry isn't the kingpin. Larry isn't very bright. He always works for someone else. Someone like Randy Jones on the West coast. Randy Jones is smart. He's the brains of that operation. Larry is just another ork like Jamie Bacon. Larry went to Montreal after he was shot in 2011 and this ring was in place since 2007. Larry was put in charge of a drug ring that was already in place. Rob Shannon was arrested in 2009. Yet the Hells Angels transfer of BC bud for cocaine in the States continued after Rob Shannon was arrested. The three rings involving Rob Shannon, Randy Jones and Larry Amero clearly show that the Hells Angels are the real kingpins behind this huge drug trafficking network.

Jimmy had a letter of support from GSP who his brother was seen partying with. Things that make ya go hmmm... Speaking of the Hells Angels control of BC Bud, CBC is confirming a scan BC report that Jim's Weeds medical marijuana store was raided by Vancouver police. Yet they let the Hells Angels sell pot out of the Black door without a word being said. Are the VPD helping the Hells Angels maintain a monopoly on the drug trade in Vancouver? Tragic.

Fatal stabbing outside the Front Room

CKNW is confirming a Scan BC report that there was a fatal stabbing outside the Front Room in Surrey just before 5:00 AM this morning at 106 Ave and 135 A street. The address for the Front Room is 10667 135a St. That whole strip is plagued with violent drug related crime around the clock. Global is reporting that the victim is 63-year-old Donald Williams Deweyn.

The highest crime areas in Surrey relate directly to where drug dealers sell crack. You can take that fake crime is reducing in Surrey report and cram it up your ass.
