Before US Troops Protected Poppies In Afghanistan, There was No Opioid Epidemic in America

The Activist Post is reporting that "The Afghanistan War is the longest in United States history, and despite initial claims that the goal of the invasion was to keep Americans safe by destroying the Taliban and al-Qaeda, the result has been a massive increase in opium production that has fueled an on-going opioid crisis in the United States and ensnared more than 2.5 million Americans in heroin addiction. As whistleblower and former FBI contractor Sibel Edmonds noted, before the U.S. invaded Afghanistan in 2001, there were around 189,000 heroin users in the United States. By 2016, that figure increased to 4.5 million - an estimated 2.5 million heroin addicts and 2 million casual users." The observation is correct.



Jonathan Kwitny's book the Crimes of Patriots stated that the CIA created the Golden Triangle. This fact has been confirmed by Terry Reed in his book Compromised and war hero Bo Gritz. When the Taliban brought opium production in Afghanistan to a grinding halt in 2001, Afghanistan was invaded and returned to the largest opium producers in the world.



What the CIA did in secret during Vietnam they are now doing openly in Afghanistan. US troops are protecting the opium fields using the lie that if we don't do it the Taliban will.

"The C.I.A.'s direct involvement in drug smuggling goes back a long time, not only in Afghanistan but also all over the world as in the Iran-Contras scandal. The now dead governor of Kandahar province, Wali Karzai, one of Afghanistan's biggest drug smugglers, had been for a long time on the C.I.A.'s payroll. Wali was Hamid Karzai's brother, former president of Afghanistan picked by the U.S. shortly after the occupation, in 2001." Just like Honduras.

Now I don't have any love for Communism and I do have a hate for Fascism. Ironically, both roads lead to the same place: totalitarianism. Stalin, Lenin and Chairman Mao were no better and no different than Adolf Hitler. Socialism can only exist within a Free Republic. You cannot protect collective rights by eliminating individual rights. Rachel Blevins aspires to break the left/right paradigm in media and politics by pursuing truth and questioning existing narratives.

Departures visits North Korea

I mentioned that I was excited to see Season three of the TV series Departures is now on Netflix. They went to Russia, Australia, Rwanda, Vietnam and even North Korea. Their trip to North Korea or DPRNK was amazing. It is dividend into two parts Episode 12 and Episode 13.

At first everyone was a bit nervous because they didn't want to say or do something that offended the host country. After it became clear that the intent of the visit was not to portray the DPRNK in a bad light but to sincerely see and experience some of their culture and traditions, their guides started to feel more at ease as well. It was magnificent.

They didn't ask about religious freedom, free speech or lawful assembly. They just went to see what they were willing to share with them. The Korean people love music. That is something we can all appreciate. In Vancouver we host a magnificent display of Chinese culture called Shen Yun. Seemingly North Korea has a similar magnificent display of local culture. We should welcome that display to come to Vancouver. I also think we should do trade with North Korea.

If we can do trade with China we can do trade with North Korea. The Olympics in South Korea went well and it's time to move forward. It's like the absurdity of the Helms Burton law. We may disagree with their ideology but why would we intentionally try and sabotage their social experiment? If we genuinely care about all people we would want to help lift their standard of living too. We don't want to see anyone starve. Regardless of their politics.



We should still do business with China. I object to them owning our oil rights just as I object to Canadian Corporations owning the mining rights in Columbia. That's just not right.

Facebook is a tool: Delete the CIA

It is always astounding to see the sensationalism and hype that plagues the Main Stream Media especially in the United States. The latest mob frenzy was around a questionable query about Facebook. The media ran with an absurd story claiming Cambridge Analytica hijacked our online data to help elect Donald Trump. First it was Russia, now it's England. GMAFB.

How stupid do you think we really are? The source of this absurd frenzy is found when Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota. Jesse Ventura was a wild card. When he was elected he was taken to the basement of the capital to be interviewed by 23 members of the CIA. What did they want? They wanted to know how he pulled it off. How did he win the election. His first question nailed it. He asked them what is the CIA doing operating in the USA when that is out of their jurisdiction. More importantly what is the CIA doing meddling in a US election?

As I've previously stated, I don't like Donald Trump. I think he is a dick and I oppose his position on immigration. I didn't like Hillary Clinton either because of her long time ties to CIA drug trafficking out of Mena Arkansas and her authoring Operation Fast and Furious. As an impartial observer it is obvious the CIA wanted Hillary elected and didn't want Trump elected.

The CIA wanted Hillary elected because of her long time ties to arms dealing and drug trafficking. It had nothing to do with supporting immigration. Consequently all this absurd nonsense about Russia or England hacking the election has become ridiculous. The bottom line is that the CIA fears social media for the same reason every other dictator obsessed with removing civl liberty does. Facebook is a tool and like the internet it can be used for good or evil.

Donald Trump's Twitter fire has helped open up communication from the head of state. Justin Trudeau uses Twitter as well as Facebook. Granted his Tweets aren't as wild and crazy as Donald Trumps but social media does help officials get information out to the public. Even the Dalai Lama uses Facebook and Twitter now. Justin Trudeau states that his party is not turning it's back on social media in future campaigns. Everyone pays to advertise on Google and Facebook.

I deleted my Facebook because I wanted to go off the grid. Consequently I have lost touch with many old friends scattered all over the world. C'est la vie. We all manage our time as we choose.

NDP Offers corporate tax breaks for LNG

We're certainly shattering stereotypes left, right and centre. The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Premier John Horgan offered billions of dollars worth of tax breaks to liquefied natural gas producers Thursday in a move to entice the construction of an export facility in Kitimat."

Oh but they said the NDP would tax and spend. Evidently not. As soon as the NDP were elected they lowered taxes by removing bridge tolls. Now they are offering tax incentives to attrack business. Imagine that. The flip side of that shattered stereotype is another shocker. The environmentalists are actually opposing it as if coal was cleaner than natural gas. Go figure. These environmentalists don't care about the environment. They're just mental.

"Horgan said he was heavily influenced by a trade mission to Asia in January where he met with project proponents and saw the pollution caused by coal-fired power plants. B.C. could help displace coal in Asia with cleaner LNG." No kidding. Have you seen the pollution in Beijing from all the coal? It is astounding. Don't the environmentalists want a reduction in the coal exports out of the Surrey docks? This project would greatly reduce CO2 emissions world wide.

I lived in Ireland for two years in 1988 and 1989. At that time eveyone heated their homes with coal fires. In the south it was open coal fireplaces. In the north they had enclosed fireplaces that burned coal which heated water that was pumped through radiators. The pollution from all that coal was incredible. Cork had a thick fog of coal smog daily. When I wrote home about it my father said that was what it was like in West Vancouver when your mother and I were first married. We had a coal fireplace and the smoke from those coal fires covered everything.

I was shocked to discover that only one generation ago we had coal fires in Vancouver and all the smog that went with them. Natural gas has eliminated that problem quite effectively.

Another lesson I learned from Ireland back then was providing tax incentives to attract business. Not much was happening economically in Ireland at the time so the government came up with an idea. 50% of nothing is nothing but 10% of something is something. The government of Ireland offered tax breaks to large corporations as incentive to open up shop in Ireland and it worked. All of a sudden the Shannon Development centre was created in the middle of nowhere.

High tech industry cropped up right beside Paddy and Mick's sheep farm. People had jobs and started paying income tax from those jobs. The government also made some tax from the large industries that moved into town. That's why Google has it's headquaters in Dublin. The Irish Govenemnt gave them tax breaks and the people have jobs that pay income tax.

Offering tax incentives to LNG in Kitmat is good business simply because 50% of nothing is nothing but a smaller percentage of something is something. Do the math.

In contrast, Andrew Weaver has lost his mind. He said he might withdraw his support of the minority NDP government. What will that solve? Do you think the Liberals won't push for a LNG facility? We need to oppose coal exports not natural gas. Give your head a shake.

MPs arrested at Kinder Morgan Protest

Global is reporting that "Two Members of Parliament have been arrested at the Kinder Morgan facility on Burnaby Mountain after they defied a court injunction that banned protesters from disrupting construction work at both Trans Mountain terminals. Saanish-Gulf Islands MP and Green Party leader Elizabeth May, and Burnaby South NDP MP Kennedy Stewart joined several dozen protesters and marched to the gate of the Kinder Morgan tank farm."

Saturday protesters defied the court order on Burnaby Mountain and were arrested. Tuesday, 59 protesters defied the court order and were arrested. The Globe and Mail reported that "Amina Moustaqim-Barrette, who spoke on behalf of a coalition of demonstrators under the banner Protect the Inlet, said each protester was ready to be arrested to send a clear message against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. “The community isn’t going to lay down and just accept that this pipeline is going to be built,” she said. “They’re going to show their opposition very loudly and very purposefully.” Twenty-eight demonstrators began blocking the entrance to Kinder Morgan’s work site at about 10 a.m. Saturday. Four hours later, some of the protesters tied themselves to the gate using zip ties, Moustaqim-Barrette said."



The Seattle Times reported that "Thousands of demonstrators marched Saturday to speak out against a pipeline expansion project that would nearly triple the flow of oil from Canada’s tar sands to the Pacific Coast." As did the Toronto Star. CBC is reporting that "The governor of Washington says his state is "allied'' with British Columbia in questioning whether the Trans Mountain pipeline should be expanded." I told you this project is dead in the water.

King 5 News is reporting that "About 30 kayaktivists with the group Mosquito Fleet surrounded a large oil barge near the Port of Seattle and held a large banner that read Stop Kinder Morgan."



Evidently Alberta's BC wine boycott and their second unjustified spike in gas prices at the pump hasn't deterred the public opposition it has only fanned the flames of indignation. One reader wrote into the paper and nailed it. The second pipeline is not for local consumption, it is for foreign markets in China. There is absolutely no justification for the two recent spikes in the price of gas at the pumps. The problem is tar sands sludge and petroleum coke.

Alberta could refine the tar sands sludge there and send the refined oil through the existing pipeline. They want a second pipeline to send raw unrefined tar sands oil without refining it. Nobody in the US wants it. Detroit and Chicago both held public protests about their mountains of petroleum coke that was a byproduct of refining the tar sands sludge. They were able to send their petroleum coke to India but India doesn't want it any more so we are going to have to talk about what will happen to it. We don't want it in Vancouver. Alberta making demands of entitlement without addressing our concerns is bad business.

Initially, I supported the project. After Alberta's BC wine boycott and their entitlement demands they lost my support. The second spike in the price of gas is proof we need to break the oil monopoly in Canada. If we cant break the oil monopoly, we need to nationalize our oil because right now we do not have free market.

70th Anniversary of the Hells Angels

I just clued in that St Patrick's Day was the 70th Anniversary of the Hells Angels. The club was founded on March 17th 1948. There's good and bad in every organization and the case law for criminal organization status for the Hells Angels is staggering. However, I think George Christie and Kerri Krysko put the controversy to rest.

Kerri Krysko said that the Hells Angels aren't a criminal organization, they are an organization of criminals. She states that there are a lot of members with criminal records but there are far more who don't have any criminal records at all. Maple Ridge is a good example. There are a lot of Hells Angels in Maple Ridge. They don't all sell crack.

George Christie said the Hells Angels aren't a criminal organization because the members of the club that are involved with criminal activity are stingy and don't share the proceeds of crime with all the other members. Now that is believable.

David Giles said not all members are involved with criminal activity but anyone who uses the name of the club for criminal activity must get permission from the local executive. That implicates the local executive of any chapter where members are found guilty of criminal offenses.

Sonny Barger founded the Oakland chapter. George Wethern was the former Vice-President of the Oakland Chapter. In his book A Wayward Angel Wethern claims: "The Oakland Angels began issuing new charters and assisting chapters set up their own drug operations. The additions were designed to contribute to our image and business concerns, by providing a drug route link, manufacturing a drug, supplying chemicals, or distributing drugs in an untapped area."

Not to hate, but I will point out that former Navy Intelligence officer Al Martin claimed that the CIA did use the Hells Angels to help distribute their cocaine during Iran Contra. Al Martin claimed that Oliver North met with the president of the Hells Angels himself. That's OK. Jim Delashmit is now a preacher and Oliver North is now a Fox TV News host.

Gary Webb was right. The real villains in this drug war are the CIA. Just say'n.

Kill the Messenger and Freeway: Crack in the System are now both on Netflix.



Moving forward: Zen and the Art of Civl Liberty. Watch for it.

Police search homes, vehicles linked to Hells Angels

CBC is reporting that "Police targeted the Hells Angels this morning in a series of raids in the Laurentians, the Montérégie and the Outaouais, searching several locations linked to drug trafficking." Only in Quebec you say? Pity. No doubt the RCMP compromised that mission again. In BC they refuse to investigate organized crime. That's why we need to bring back the OMGU.

Damion Ryan's shooter walks over charter delays

Keith Fraser is reporting that "A judge has found that a man accused of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder had his rights violated following his arrest by Vancouver police. Knowah Ferguson of Hamilton, Ont., was charged with trying to shoot and kill Hells Angel Damion Ryan at the Vancouver airport on April 10, 2015. The allegation is that he approached Ryan while Ryan was seated at a table with an Asian male in a food court at the airport and pulled out a firearm. There was a clicking sound and the gun failed to fire, according to a ruling on the rights violation. All three people at the scene then took off running, according to the ruling."

As we know, Damion Ryan became a member of the Ontario Village Idiots until the Quebec brothers disbanded them. Kim Bolan is reporting that Damion Ryan is now living in Greece where the Edmonton scum bags ganged up on a local father and beat him to death.

China's president returns to draconian totalitarianism

The president of China just removed term limits making him king of the Communist dictatorship and just announced Beijing is ready to fight a bloody battle against all it's enemies. Do you think it's finally time to break their corporate monopoly on Canad'as oil? Do you think it might be time for us to stop funding the military expansion of a Communist state that murders political prisoners to order for organ harvesting every time we fill up with gas at the pump?

ABC is reporting that "Human rights lawyer Yu Wensheng did the unthinkable in Xi Jinping's China. In an open letter, last October he criticised the President's "totalitarian rule" and called for immediate political reform and democracy. The next day, as he was walking his son to school, he was detained by a squad of security police and man-handled into a van. His wife, Xu Yan, hasn't seen him since." There is nothing democratic about these draconian reforms in China.

China state media merger to create propaganda giant

The Guardian is reporting that "China has confirmed plans to merge its state television and radio stations to create a new broadcaster that will be one of the largest propaganda platforms in the world." Can we not see where this is going? Letting that evil profit from our oil is insane.

2018 Free Tibet and Free Yourself

Mobility pricing is a driver tax for the Mayor's glutton council

It is clear that the Mayor's glutton council needs to be disbanded. All they do it try to think up new ways to raises taxes for them to spend. A letter to the Vancouver Province says it well: “Mobility pricing is a shiny, friendly term from consultants for the Mayors’ Council because driver’s tax is less palatable." Leave the ten cent a litre billion dollars a year regional gas tax and stop there. No new drivers taxes. Removing bridge tolls and replacing it with a driver tax is fraudulent.

Corporate media still selling the gun control fraud

The Vancouver province is reporting that "The Liberal government is planning to introduce long-promised legislation Tuesday to strengthen controls on the sale, licensing and tracing of guns. The Liberals are bracing for political pushback from the Conservatives, as the bill would repeal some measures passed by the previous government."

This is offensively insane. In Metro Vancouver we have experienced a huge spike in illegal gun violence connected to the drug trade. None of those crimes are committed with legally obtained firearms. Blaze was under a firearm ban but was caught with firearms contrary to that ban. This never ending saga repeats itself over and over again. Criminals with lifetime firearm bans keep buying guns illegally because the bans are meaningless and have no consequences.

The guns the criminals are buying are coming in from the States. Some are from robberies. This new legislation will do absolutely nothing to prevent criminals from having guns. To claim that it will is a bold faced lie. Once again the government has created a manufactured emergency then removes civl liberty to pretend to fix the problem they created.

When the police watch the drugs coming out of Shakerz and provide drug dealers police protection in the DTES and on the Surrey Strip we know they are the root of the problem. Their criminal culpability has created the manufactured emergency to justify the pharmaceutic fraud that is burning tax dollars faster than we can borrow them.

If the police wanted to do something about illegal firearms, they would do sting operations purchasing illegal guns under cover. They refuse to do so because they want to perpetuate the problem so the government can continue to remove civl liberty from law biding citizens.

Our current system is not working. For the most part, in Canada only the criminals have guns. As I have said, I support he Swiss Model of gun control for obvious reasons.

Hells Angels associate firearms sentence reduced

Sarkozy detained in Gadhafi probe

The Canadian Press is reporting that "In the latest judicial setback for the former French president, Nicolas Sarkozy was placed in custody on Tuesday as part of an investigation that he received millions of euros in illegal campaign financing from the regime of the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi."

There's nothing illegal about making campaign contributions unless of course Sarkozy didn't report them which is obviously the case. After we helped Sarkozy murder Gadhafi under false pretense, Gadhafi's son claim his father made campaign contributions to Sarkozy which he denied. Now it appears that was true. It clearly falls within the realm of believability given the fact that Sarkozy was trying to convince the world we could trust Gadhafi with nuclear weapons because he wanted to sell him a French reactor.

As soon as Gadhafi decided to buy a nuclear reactor from Argentina instead of France, we helped France invade Libya and murder Gadhafi. That stain is on all of us.

This is the third funding scandal le chien sal has been caught in. The book “Sarko m’a tuer” (Sarko Killed Me) claims Nicolas Sarkozy received undeclared contributions from the heiress to the L’Oreal cosmetics fortune Liliane Bettencourt. Again political contributions aren't ilegal. Failing to declare them is. Before that was the Karachi affair in Pakistan.

Sarkozy was accused of getting political kickbacks from an arms deal with Pakistan. When the deal was cancelled and his kickbacks were cut off he was accused of helping organize a terrorist bombing in Pakistan that killed French engineers.

Interesting to note that the UN envoy says Gaddafi’s son can stand as election candidate which could happen the end of this year. That would be fair since NATO murdered his family.

Homeless family found dead in Van

ABC is reporting that "A homeless couple and their two young children, all dressed for bed, were found dead from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning in a parked van that had its windows covered with blankets and a shade to block out the light outside a Southern California strip mall, police said Friday. The case comes as Southern California grapples with a rise in homelessness amid soaring housing costs." Sound familiar? This tragedy happened in Los Angeles.

Housing is very expensive in any big city - LA, New York, London, Toronto and now Metro Vancouver. Homelessness and drug addiction are two separate issues. Here in Vancouver they become blurred because the police do nothing to stop the predatory drug dealers from exploiting the homeless. As we have said before, 50 % of drug addicts on the Surrey strip want to get treatment but can't. Other than Price Pro all the treatment centres in Surrey are just drug houses where addicts do drugs. If the police won't arrest drug dealers for selling drugs in public or at treatment centres, what good are they?

We see homeless here and meet people living in cars all the time. It's always heart wrenching to hear of families with young children homeless but the same goes for the elderly. When the elderly are homeless we are all diminished.

The City of Surrey held a survey about housing in Guildford. They were of course pushing high density towers their campaign contributors can get rich off of. A million dollars for a tiny condo in a huge tower at Surrey Central is insane. Low rise apartments and townhouses for young families are a much better fit for Guildford. Affordable housing is a genuine concern for everyone.

If you want to build more housing in Guildford, take your LRT and cram it up your a*s.

Vancouver gas fraud burns out of control

Another insane spike in the price of gas at the pumps leaves us with only one logical conclusion. It is time to break the oil monopoly and Nationalize our oil like Norway. Corporate monopolies are never a good thing. Global is reporting that 7 Canadian companies committed indictable offences in bread-price fixing scandal. Yet not a word is said about the criminality of price fixing within the oil industry which is far worse. The onlty time a corporate monopoly can be a good thing is when the consumers are shareholders in that monopoly. Norway is a successful model of this.

When John D. Rockefeller used hostile take overs to obtain a monopoly on the oil industry the US Supreme Court ordered the dissolution of Standard Oil Company, ruling it was in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Letting ownership of Canada's oil rights be controlled by a monopoly was a bad idea. Letting a foreign country own our oil rights was insane. Letting a Communist dictatorship profit from our oil is just plain evil. Stephen Harper is more of a Communist than Pierre Elliot Trudeau ever was. Breaking Communist China's monopoly on the ownership of our oil would be in every Canadians best interest.

BC has oil reserves. We could quite feasibly set the example by nationalizing our oil like ICBC. We would keep all the Canadian contractors. We would just nationalize the ownership of the oil and take it back from Communist China. If Alberta wants to extort us we should simply buy our oil from Russia. We do have a port here. That is supply and demand in a free market.

Everyone likes to complain about ICBC but we need to see though the fraud the BC Liberals created. The BC Liberal government extracted a $1.3 billion dividend from ICBC to balance Christy Clark's fake fudgeit budget. Now they are saying ICBC needs to be restructured because they are $1.3 billion in debt. We're not that stupid. As Peter Rose said ICBC is breaking even. There is no emergency. There is just another fraud created by the BC Liberals.

On the issue of privatizing ICBC I have always been neutral. It you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, don't. However, I will point out that comparing insurance prices in BC with Alberta is not a fair comparison. You can't compare urban areas with rural ares. A more realistic comparison would be with Toronto who have much higher car insurance rates than we do.

The private insurance companies in BC are struggling. Many of them are running deficits. In response what do they do? They dump high risk clients and raise their rates. ICBC is forced to insure the high risk clients. The high risk clients should pay higher rates not everyone else. Aside from the insurance fraud, lotus land has a lot of luxury vehicles. When those cars get in accidents it costs a lot more to fix them. Luxury vehicles should pay a higher rate not everyone else.

Consequently ICBC is not in as bad shape as the Neo Cons are trying to trick us into believing. The current price fixing within the oil industry is a much more urgent matter to confront. What we have now is NOT a free market. What Canada and Alberta could learn from Norway.

Fatal Shooting in Toronto

CBC is reporting that "A man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s are dead after a shooting at North York bowling alley on Saturday night. The man was pronounced dead at the scene while the woman died of her injuries in hospital later, Toronto police said in a news release on Sunday."

Global is reporting that the shooting took place inside PlayTime Bowl and Entertainment, located on Samor Road near Dufferin Street and Lawrence Avenue West, at around 10:10 p.m. on Saturday. "It’s not clear where exactly the shootings occurred, but the windows at the front entrance of the bowling alley were heavily damaged by gunfire." The bowling alley was full of families at the time of the shooting.

Update: The Canadian Press is reporting that the woman was a bystander in the shooting.

Putting St Patrick's Day into Perspective

Today is the Holy day so it is. I wasn't going to comment on it this year because I'm just not feeling it so I thought I'd review some Irish Traditions just so we all know what the day is supposed to be all about. It's not supposed to be about getting pissed drunk. It's a day set aside to remember Irish history and tradition. It's a salute to the Holy land so it is.

Do you know what Tiocfaidh ár lá means? Do you know the song a Nation Once Again or The Town I Loved so Well? Do you know the real meaning behind The Lord of the Dance? Well wait till I tell ye. Tiocfaidh ár lá, pronounced Chuckie ar la, means our day will come. It's usually shouted while throwing a stone, brick or petrol bomb at some invincible enemy like David and Goliath. However, it's more like the final spear of the Spartan in the movie 300. A final f*ck you before being destroyed just to say I still disagree right to the end recording your dissent.

In fact the song A Nation Once Again cites that heroic last stand. It is a rebel song mourning the loss of the nation, longing for the day when Ireland will one day be reunited. The Town I Loved so Well refers to Derry. The Lord of the Dance is an old hymn referring to Jesus Christ.

Sky Pilot in the Snow

I snowshoed up Sky Pilot today from the top of the Sea to Sky Gondola. It was an awesome hike. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the trail was groomed half way up. After that it was very steep but reasonably packed. I didn't summit but I made it to the foot of the summit. In the winter the trail goes up the back of the mountain. In the summer the trail goes up the other side.

Political Greed in Canada

I'm going to keep hammering home the fact that there is a new movement rising within Canada. It addresses greed and corruption on the right as well as the left. Last night I had a very disturbing conversation with Jarup Brar on a telephone town hall meeting he hosted. I was shocked and dissappointed to hear him promoting a Neo Con lie. Who fed him the poison kool aid?

Brian Mulroney had his Airbus and the GST. Stephen Harper had his insider trading jets and the HST. They were both conflicted. The Oliphant Commission concluded that Brian Mulrony acted in an inappropriate way when he accepted large amounts of cash from Karlheinz Schreiber over the airbus scandal which has just been resurrected with Airbus' recent acquisition of Bombardier. Details of the Mulroney fraud were itemized in Stevie Cameron's book On the Take: Crime, Corruption and Greed in the Mulroney Years.

No doubt Stevie Cameron could write a sequel about Crime, Corruption and Greed in the Harper era. Lockheed Martin is as dirty as SNC-Lavalin. Boeing is a much better business model.

Fast forward to 2018. Like Mulroney and Harper, Dianne Watts and Linda Hepner have their own insider trading scam: the LRT. Light Transit is for rural areas not dense city centres.



There is talk about Surrey being the city of the future. Locals have amended that motto to read Surrey: The Future Dies Here because of the Dianne Watts / Linda Hepner fraud. Reverting 104th Avenue to a single lane of traffic in either direction with an on ground train ruining down the middle is not progress. It is an obscene fraud that takes massive amounts of tax dollars and puts it into he hands of campaign contributors just like they did at Campbell Heights.

Right now the bus ride between Surrey Place Mall and Guildford is a problem free five minute ride. The status quo functions perfectly. Surrey Blogger Laila Yuile pointed out the problem is between Surrey Place and Newton. That is where the problem lies. If you want to extend Skytrain to Newton feel free but don't waste billions of tax dollars on a project we don't want or need just so your campaign contributors can get rich at taxpayers expense.

I did however have a very posative meeting with my MLA Gary Begg who I did vote for. He held an open house and met one on one with constituents. I overloaded him with about 30 issues at once but he was very knowledgeable about the problems outside the Front Room along 135A Street and many other issues that affect Surrey. His business card lists him as the Party Whip. Perhaps he will be able to convince the party to fix the BC Hydro Fraud Gordon Campbell created that Norm Farrell keeps talking about. Maybe they'll even bring back the OMGU.

Jagmeet Singh explains the history of religious persecution in India

The Globe and Mail ran a very interesting article by Jagmeet Singh about the history of religious persecution in India. It is indeed thought provoking. There is a lot of hype about terrorism.

We need to remember that CSIS provided the explosives for the Air India bombing and had an agent that helped plan that heinous attack. We need to remember that to put the fear and hype into perspective. Terrorism is bad. So is religious persecution. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Recently I made a blog post about a beautiful picture I saw in Guildford Mall of the Sikh Golden Temple in India. Ironically it was just after Justin Trudeau's visit. In Jagmeet Singh's recent article he talked about how the government of India attacked the Golden Temple in 1984 and destroyed it. I had no idea. Where was I in 1984? That was just before I went to New York.

ThoughtCo posted a timeline of the 1984 attack on the temple called Operation Blue Star and the Sikh Genocide by order of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. An injustice to one is an injustice to all. Taking up arms to defend religious freedom is justified. Blowing up innocent civilians is not.

Kim Bolan wrote a book about the Air India trial called Loss Of Faith: How The Air India Bombers Got Away With Murder. She failed to mention the fact that CSIS provided the explosives for that attack. That was reported by CBC and the RCMP. That's a pretty important detail to leave out. If there was no bomb, there would have been no attack. CSIS has yet to be tried for that murder.

Although CSIS is actively removing the original CBC documentary from Youtube The Globe and Mail also ran the same article: "Canada's spy agency did everything it could to keep the Air-India mass-murder case from coming to trial in order to cover up the involvement of an agent in the plot to blow up the airplanes, an RCMP officer says in newly released court documents."

In 2015 Conservative MP Wai Young admitted CSIS knew there was a bomb on the Air India plane that later exploded in midair, killing 329 people. He claimed the laws at the time prevented the Canadian Security Intelligence Service from telling the RCMP about the explosive device in June 1985. That is ridiculous. They were under a legal and moral obligation to tell the RCMP about the bomb. Then they erased wire tap evidence implicating them.

The Globe and Mail named Surjan Singh Gill as the CSIS agent that helped plan the attack. The Globe and Mail also confirmed that "A Sikh separatist suspected of being a CSIS mole in the Air-India conspiracy had the explosives and airline tickets with him shortly before two bombs were allegedly checked onto flights at the Vancouver airport, an RCMP officer stated in an affidavit."

ABC Reported that "Surjan Singh Gill was the founder of the so-called Khalistan consulate in Vancouver in 1981, and one of the first supporters of the Babbar Khalsa group. He allegedly became Parmar’s right-hand man in 1982, and Canadian agents tailed Gill as he escorted Parmar to a ferry terminal in 1985. Parmar was allegedly on his was way to see a bomb demonstration." Just like how CSIS used Grant Bristow to create the Heritage Front.

The Corbett Report confirms that Air India was a CSIS job. "How did Surjan Singh Gill have the ability to found the group that carried out the bombing, deliver the bombs, pull out of the plot just before it took place, get on the RCMP list of main suspects, and avoid even being brought before a court of justice?" CSIS can keep deleting articles from the Internet but truth crushed to the earth will rise again simply because no lie can live forever.

There is a New Movement Rising in Canada so there is.

Blaze the Teletubbies' meth head

Castanet is making reference to a recently released court decision regarding fly sh*t Donahue (Blaze) McWhirter. The decision claims "Police began surveilling fly sh*t in the spring of 2014, after receiving information from four confidential informants the Lake Country resident sold cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin in Kelowna."

"During their surveillance, police observed several interactions around Kelowna that looked like McWhirter was exchanging drugs with other individuals. On Oct. 20, 2014, police saw McWhirter meet with 10 to 14 Independent Soldiers or associates at Kelowna's Rusty's Pub, (Because he got his ass kicked in Liquid Zoo) after returning from the Lower Mainland earlier that day (having just supplied his meth head pal in Guildford that hacked up Shawn Clarys dead body). Kevin Irvine and Mark Pauls, two of the men McWhirter had met with, were pulled over by police after leaving the bar and found with five ounces of methamphetamine on them."

"Following Justice Davies ruling that the traffic stop and subsequent arrest did not violate the couple's constitutional rights, McWhirter pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine and MDMA for the purpose of trafficking, along with unlawful possession of a shotgun and rifle while he was prohibited. McWhirter remains out of custody on bail, but he's scheduled to be back before the courts on May 28 for a three-day sentencing hearing."

The shotgun and rifle were likely Joey Verma's since Joey was the hunter and the club wouldn't consider giving an idiot like Blaze a firearm. It was likely the shotgun they used slugs in to shoot Britney Irving in the back with. What do you think the odds are that lying spec of fly sh*t gets off again for cooperating with the Police? They sure know how to pick 'em.

Departures Season 3 now on Netflix

Well this is good news. Season 3 of Departures is now on Netflix. Departures is a travel show about two Canadian guys who travel around the world but they go off the beaten path and get an inside look at the various places they visit where the tourists don't normally go.

I like this series because they are respectful of local culture and traditions like Rick Steve's Europe. Justin's a bit of a drinker so everywhere they go they try the local alcohol. In Russia it was vodka vodka vodka. Anything in moderation I suppose. Relatively speaking.

Hamilton cop tipped off drug dealers in exchange for cash

The Toronto Star is reporting that "A suspended Hamilton police officer fed drug traffickers sensitive information and favours in return for cash payments, a Crown attorney said Monday during his opening address to a Toronto jury. Craig Ruthowsky, a former member of the Hamilton Police Service’s guns and gangs unit, has pleaded not guilty to obstruct justice, bribery, breach of trust, trafficking and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence." Sounds like BC.

A New Movement Rising in Canada

There's a new movement rising in Canada. Thomas Mulcair saw it but Justin Trudeau didn't and Stephen Harper never grasped it. It represents a reawakening of the Age of Reason that Preston Manning launched before he and Harper dropped the ball and reunited with Mulroneyism. Chuck Cadman was Reform until he was screwed over by Harper. After that he was an independent.

In response to the crime, corruption and greed of the Mulroney government, Preston Manning created the Reform Party and launched a Ron Paul Revolution in Canada that revolted against pork barrel politics demanding fiscal responsibility and balanced budgets. These ideals swept Western Canada but died in Ontario who saw it as a separatist movement because they couldn't see the forest through the trees.

Realizing they couldn't make the changes they wanted unless they formed government, they merged with the very criminals they originally set out to correct just so they could take office. When they did take office the original ideals of the Reform Party went out the window. Fiscal responsibility was lost and was once again replaced with insider trading, pork barrel tax and spend politics then launched an attack on civl liberty and the Charter of Rights.

The Reform party pledged to hold referendums to survey public opinion. Stephen Harper did the exact opposite. He spent massive amounts of tax dollars on advertising to mold public opinion.

Nevertheless, people still want fiscal responsibility. People still want politicians to stop wasting money and lower taxes. The Neo Cons claim the left will tax and spend but they are the worse offenders. Brian Mulroney's tax and spend pork barrel politics was evidence of that. The left spends money on housing and the elderly. The Neo Cons spend it on themselves and their campaign contributors. The Light Rail disaster in Surrey is a prime example.

No one who lives in Guildford wants an on ground railway along 104th Avenue between Surrey Place and Guildford Mall. No one. Right now it's a problem free five minute bus ride. A LRT will create an infrastructure nightmare. Reverting 104th to a single lane of traffic in each direction is completely insane. 108th backs up in the late afternoons because it is two lanes with no left hand turning lanes. If someone wants to make a left turn, traffic becomes congested.

Making a left turn on 104th after a LRT is in place is exponentially worse. Not only do you have to wait for a break in oncoming traffic, you also have to look in your rear view mirror to see if a train is coming. It is structurally unsafe. People who drive cars prefer sky train because sky train does not impede traffic. People who drive cars should have a say because they pay Translink a billion dollars a year in a regional gas tax above and beyond federal and provincial gas tax. No private company would be allowed to continue and expand running a billion dollar deficit every year.

Who got the contract for the Evergreen Sky train line? SNC-Lavalin. That was a criminal act. Who makes LRT and makes campaign contributions to the federal Liberals and Conservatives? SNC-Lavalin. Do the math. The new movement that is rising in Canada opposes this kind of political corruption and demands politicians stop wasting tax dollars and start becoming fiscally responsible. Giving billions of tax dollars to dirty construction companies that under bid and over charge contracts while giving a kickback to the politicians in the form of campaign contributions has to end. No lie can live forever. Tunnel fear mongering is false.



It's pretty sad when the NDP support small business more than the Neo Cons do. The Neo Cons claim they support small business and a free market but they do not. They support corporate monopolies that destroy the free market and consumer taxes that kill small business. Welcome to the New world Order where the Left is Right and the Right is Left leaving behind the principles they claim to uphold. Corporate Communism is bad. Civil Liberty is good.

Mike Smyth has lost his mind

Clearly Mike Smyth has lost his mind and his conscience. He's the Dianne Watts lapdog that took over for Alex Tsakumis. We have already exposed his Gordon Wilson fraud but he refuses to concede and continues to rant like a raging lunatic. This guy needs some professional help.

Bruce Ralston is a well respected MLA in Surrey. Bruce has been active in his community and reelected as a MLA for many many years. After the last election the NDP started to clean house. They saw Gordon Wilson's exuberant salary advocating for natural gas to be a waste of tax dollars and it clearly was. I support natural gas because it is clean burning. However you don't have to pay someone $12,500 a month to say that.

That job was a sweetheart appointment. He got it after his wife wrote a book promoting Christy Clark. Before that Gordon Wilson and his wife Judy were in a financial bind because of their own defamation in another case they lost in court. It's a toxic cesspool really.

Which makes us wonder why Mikey lapdog would even consider opening that can of worms. Why bring more attention to the Gordon Wilson fraud? Does he really think the public is that stupid? Evidently he does. Just another credibility meltdown in a day of Post Media News.

Saskatoon Police warn of cocaine laced with fentanyl

'

The Saskatoon Star Phoenix is reporting that "A man and a woman are dead and four other people have been hospitalized for drug overdoses, the Saskatoon Police Service said in a media release on Sunday evening. Police have arrested three men and they face drug trafficking-related charges. Police have also issued a public safety advisory. They are warning anyone who may have purchased cocaine from a drug dealer named “Lil Joe” or “Joe Bro” or have contacted a dealer with the number 306-881-7300, that the drug they purchased could be laced with fentanyl. Police say the dosage of fentanyl in the drug may be lethal."

OK so this is new. The Saskatoon Police recognize when a drug dealers sells someone cocaine and laces it with fentanyl without telling the buyer, that is morally wrong. For them to name the drug dealer and post his phone number is new. Saskatoon has been hit with a surge in fentanyl fatalities like everywhere else because the drug dealers want to get addicts addicted to fentanyl so they can make more money. As a result, Saskatoon Police are considering murder charges.

Compare that to BC where the police do nothing. A local nurse named Leanne Yardley bought a line of cocaine from a drug dealer in a local Hells Angels strip bar named Shakerz and died because it was straight fentanyl. There was no cocaine in it. When we broke that story the police here did absolutely nothing. They did not name her or the bar she bought the drugs from.

After we broke the story a Doctor of Death from Fraser Health said "In addition, people report taking a variety of drugs including, but not limited to heroin, crack cocaine, COCAINE, amphetamines, ecstasy and GHB. At this time, we are warning people that all drugs may be contaminated with lethal substances."

Parents of overdose victims complained that the police here refused to charge the fentanyl dealers with anything at all. This obscene abandonment of the Four Pillars program which has seen harm prevention turn into harm promotion has seen Surrey and Vancouver have the highest overdose death rate in the world. This is not a successful model for anyone else to follow. It is a lethal fog of fraud that has choked reason unconscious from the public's mind.

If a drug dealer sells drugs laced with fentanyl arrest them. Enforcement is a crucial element of the Four Pillars program. That is the New York model. That is the model I support. Harm promotion is not what the Portugal model was about. The Portugal model was about treatment. Something we refuse to implement here in metro Vancouver because except for Price Pro, all our local detox are flop houses for addicts to do drugs. Drug dealers are selling drugs at detox centres. We need to arrest the drug dealers so those who want treatment can get it.

I ill note that if anyone is putting fentanyl in cocaine in Saskatoon it is highly likely it is someone who works for the Hells Angels. Stop the greed.

CIA caught meddling in US election

CNN is reporting that "Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee announced Monday they found no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and that they are shutting down their yearlong investigation. The committee's Republicans are also disagreeing with the intelligence community's assessment that Russian President Vladimir Putin was trying to help the Trump campaign over Hillary Clinton, a notion that aligns with President Donald Trump's viewpoint on election meddling."

Once again the source of the fake news has been revealed. This insane obsession with the ridiculous notion that Russia hacked the US election is coming from the CIA. The CIA is once again in a conflict of interest.

As Jesse Ventura pointed out the CIA are not authorized to operate on American soil. The CIA are the ones that supported Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump because Hillary Clinton was the author of Operation Fast and Furious. A CIA Operation tied to the ATF that was caught selling the Mexican cartel guns and bringing back tons of cocaine into the United States as payment.

The question we must ask is why in God's name are we listening to the CIA about anything? They have been deeply involved with drug trafficking since Iran Contra. All they do is lie. When the MSM keep blindly printing every ridiculous press release the CIA sends out, they destroy their own credibility. Operation Mass Appeal was no different. The CIA is a criminal organization far worse than the Hells Angels ever were.

Instead of focusing on real news like the continued execution of political prisoners in Communist China for organ harvesting, the MSM blindly focus on a cheap whore that has absolutely no relevance whatsoever. Welcome to the Brave New World of absurd propaganda.

Edmonton Prison faces sexual misconduct lawsuit

CBC is reporting that Edmonton Prison guards have been hit with a sexual harassment lawsuit similar to the many class actions lawsuits at the RCMP. This lawsuit claims that four female prison guards have filed a class action lawsuit against six male prison guards claiming that the Edmonton prison "is a workplace rife with discrimination, harassment, bullying, abuse of authority and sexual assault. The four plaintiffs detail repeated failed attempts to get help or protection from management or the union, alleging some of the biggest abusers all had prominent positions in the union and for the most part still do."

In November 2016 the National Post reported that "An Edmonton Institution inmate alleges he was intentionally shot in the testicles with a rubber bullet during a weekend lockdown as retribution for his part in a $5.6-million lawsuit against the Attorney General of Canada."

It's interesting Edmonton has been singled out again. When it come to investigating organized crime, locals believe the EPS is compromised just like the BC Gang Task force after they disbanded the OMGU. That's why all the gang busts in Alberta are from ALERT. Perhaps we should contract out our gang enforcement in BC to them. At least they will do the job.

Bombardier bites the dust

Global is reporting on another scam from Bombardier. We really need to stop pouring tax dollars into that perpetual tax fraud. Bombardier is almost as bad as Lockheed Martin. We need to let Boeing take over Bombardier so that black hole can start making some money. Boeing is Good. Bombardier Sucks. Don't get me started on Airbus. Boeing is a better business model.

Greta Matassa elevates Surrey

I was surprised to see accomplished Jazz vocalist Greta Matassa performing in Surrey today. Seemingly she was at Frankie's Jazz Club in Vancouver on Friday and Saturday night. Today she was at Northwood United Church for their Jazz Vespers.

Gretta is from Seattle and has taught vocal jazz at the Blaine Jazz Festival for years. She's awesome. Now it's called the Drayton Harbor music camp. If you have a kid that wants to learn Jazz, send them there. It is well worth it.
