The Struggle Between Good and Evil

I attended a gang forum at Surrey City Hall last night organized by Rina Gill on behalf of the South Asian Family Association (SAFA). The day before, a rally of over a thousand concerned citizens and community groups called out for City Hall to wake up and do something about the gang violence. The next day, SAFA did something and sponsored the event which was planned in March before the two recent high school murders.

Andrew Bacchus, a former gang member from Toronto was the key note speaker. It was well done and Andrew gave an inspiring and heartfelt presentation. Andrew grew up in a rough area of Toronto and began selling pot at age 11 then started selling crack at age 14. When he got older and had a child he decided to leave the life. He gave up making a couple thousand dollars a night selling crack for a 11 dollar an hour job as a youth worker and hasn't turned back.

A previous Globe and Mail article states "When Andrew Bacchus was a player in the gang world of Toronto's Jane and Finch neighbourhood in the 1990s, there was something of a code: Don't involve women and children in your business. The rare time someone stepped out of line, they were lectured or beaten. And if two men wanted to settle a dispute, they would often set their guns aside and fight it out with their fists. "Because of the respect people had for the 'Game,' they just knew how to conduct themselves," said Mr. Bacchus, who has been a youth worker for the 15 years since he went straight. "Nowadays, all that kind of stuff is out the window."

Andrew was a member of the Vice Lords. For those of you who don't understand what that was I shall explain. When I was working with the Guardian Angels in south Seattle we were dealing with the Crips and the Bloods networking up from LA while coming from Chicago we were dealing with the Black Gangster Disciples and the Vice Lords. Two rival gangs who didn't wear opposing colours, they just broke their leather hat on different sides of their head.

Andrew sounds like he's from Brooklyn. Not the slang but the tone. He's calm, humble yet confident. He's from the hood. He's not from the Bacon brother's Suburban princess's crib.

Suki Grewal is a founder of SAFA the group that sponsored the event. She is a genuine, nice person that has volunteered her time for many years. Rina Gill helped plan the event. She's also a nice person. Neither Suki or Rina are confrontational. They are just genuine people who gravitate to people who do good. Last year Rina ran for city counsel beside Doug McCallum on the Safe Surrey slate. She missed being elected by one seat. As time has shown, Rina would have been the better choice. Let's hope she runs again this time to save us from Surrey's worst.

During last night's event they played a video clip from the Mayor, Linda Hepner. It was offensive. It must be painful for her to speak through all that Botox. It is certainly painful to listen to and to watch. Linda Hepner is dripping with arrogance and dishonesty. Was she not present the night before to hear the thousand concerned citizens calling her out for her inaction? No she was not. The NDP MLAs were there but she was not. She spent the whole video telling everyone how wonderful she is and what a great job they are doing without listening to a word that the people have said. I don't want to take us to a dark place, but we're already there.

Killing kids in high school has crossed the line just like the Surrey Six did. In BC youth gangs aren't a problem any more like they were 30 years ago. There are no real gangs in BC any more. Now there's just drug trafficking networks and they are mostly all run by the Hells Angels. Hells Angels drug dealing rivals are quickly eliminated in Surrey. In BC you get killed for two reasons: you have a drug debt or you're a rival drug dealer. It's that simple. Promoting drug addiction is not the answer. Selling drugs in treatment centres is not the answer. Arresting drug dealers that sell fentanyl is. It's that simple. Providing drug dealers police protection on the Surrey strip is the problem and Linda Hepner is at the root of it. We changed the Surrey police chief. He is a good guy. His hands are tied by Linda Hepner. Now we need to change her and Surrey's Worst.



A university student and a high school student from Youth Transforming Society took centre stage durring the gang forum. It's a nonprofit group that encourages youth to volunteer their time.

Massive gang violence rally at Surrey City Hall

There was a massive gang violence rally at Surrey City Hall today sponsored by the South Asian Community. As Global points out it was a week after two teens from Frank Hurt were killed in a targeted shooting. I went to Frank Hurt. Mike Farnworth, Jagrup Brar and Garry Begg were there.



More importantly there were a lot of families there who have lost loved ones to recent gang violence. Many tears were shed and many mothers were in mourning.



In 2017 the Sikh motorcycle club launched a rally calling for City Hall to address the rise in gang violence. A year later and nothing has been done. This is why City Council needs to be replaced.



I also saw Barinder Raspode there. She has been a consistent voice against crime and gang violence. It is unfortunate we split the vote last election letting Linda Hepner get in. Barinder Rasode was one of the people Dianne Watts bullied. The only way we can make a change is by electing a new city council because Surrey Fist does not listen. They have been Surrey's Worst.



We need to bring back the Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Unit. That is what we need to do.

Surrey is ready for the New York Model. The South Asian Community is crying out for it.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way. Save our Surrey - Green Justice.

Lessons from the Kelowna Summer Jam

August 2011, Pat Fogherty was in charge of the BC Gang Task force. At that time he said the Hells Angels aren't the problem in Kelowna, they barely exist. It's the other guys we have to worry about. That caused me to make a post asking which side was he on because he was obviously out to lunch. The following summer I launched the Kelowna Summer Jam spotlighting crime in Kelowna. At the same time the OMGU launched an undercover operation targeting the Kelowna Hells Angels. That summer the OMGU proved Pat Fogherty wrong.

David Giles, the vice president of the Kelowna Hells Angels was busted in a mayor cocaine ring and Johhny Newcome was busted in a mayor stolen car, boat and motorcycle ring tied directly to the Kelowna Hells Angels. The judge was amazed at the volume of stolen vehicles involved.

David Giles was convicted of drug trafficking as was Lester Jones, the previous vice President of the Kelowna Hells Angels. David Giles was implicated in the Western Wind bust and the Dave Revell drug bust but he kept getting off. That's why I billed him as Skelator, Lord of the Underworld. The OMGU finally brought him down.

The OMGU did such a great job, the Christy Clark government disbanded them. Ever since then, the Gang Task force in BC has been compromised and stopped going after Hells Angels that sell drugs. We are now seeing the same problem in Surrey that Kelowna saw in 2011. The Hells Angels control the drugs on the Surrey strip and are responsible for all the brutal violence there.

In 2009 Agent 22 came to Vancouver. He was the one that brought down the Hells Angels crack cocaine ring in Winnipeg tied to the Zig Zag Crew. When he was in Vancouver, a Hells Angels associate in Surrey named Eric Sandberg told Agent 22 that he could get him any gun that he wanted and that they were ready to wipe out all the competition in Surrey.

On Sept. 17, 2013 a bag of guns near 76th Avenue was found in Surrey tied to the Hells Angels.

Ontario has a Biker Enforcement Unit, BC does not. When drug dealers in Saskatoon started lacing their drugs with fentanyl, the police in Saskatoon started arresting the drug dealers, the police in Surrey won't. The police in Surrey won't even arrest the drug dealers selling drugs at treatment centres. That is the root of the problem. Setting the Record Straight.

Ryan was a long time crystal meth cook in Surrey that worked for John Punko in the East Vancouver Hells Angels. Police seized 6 kilos of crystal meth from his flat in Surrey. In July 2005 he was caught in charge of a crew that was capable of making 15 kilos of crystal meth every ten days. Ryan was working for the Hells Angels.

Donnie McWhirter, the mental reject from the Kelowna IS was caught with half a kilo of crystal meth that he got from a Hells Angels meth lab in Maple Ridge. In 2002 the police busted a Hells Angels meth lab in Kelowna that was a major production point for the Valley.

In 2011, before the OMGU was disbanded, the police busted five meth labs in metro Vancouver tied to the Hells Angels. One was in Surrey. After the OMGU was disbanded the police stopped investigating meth labs. Instead, they watch the dealers sell it on the Surrey Strip.

Setting the Record Straight

Since I have people in my grill on both sides of this debate, I will clarify my position to set the record straight. I do not believe the Hells Angels are a criminal organization collectively despite the fact that many members are criminals and do business in the name of the club. I believe the criminal org test should be conducted on a chapter by chapter basis.

Just so we are clear, my disdain for the Kelowna chapter has not diminished. The David Giles wire tap showed us that not all members are involved in criminal activity but anyone who does use the name of the club has to have permission from the local executive. So when the Kelowna chapter murdered Britney Irving, the local executive had to have approve if not order that murder. That makes the entire executive guilty of conspiracy to commit murder just like when the East Vancouver chapter ordered the murder of Paul Percy Soluk at a crack house in Surrey.

The regular members become culpable when they elect and sustain that kind of an executive.

The Hells Angels have been collectively involved in the Surrey drug trade since the Surrey House of Horrors. The Hells Angels were responsible for the Surrey Six. Jamie Bacon was not trying to tax Cory Lal on behalf of the Triads. The Triads wouldn't give an idiot like Jamie Bacon the time of day. Jamie Bacon tried to tax Cory Lal because he was being taxed by the Hells Angels.

Like I keep saying, drugs in clubs or to people who want it and can afford it is none of my business. Giving the homeless crack for free then beating the life out of them afterwards for payment is my business. If you don't front addicts drugs, there are no drug debts. What they did to Janice Shore is my business. Terminating Larry Mizen's contract in the way that they did was bullsh*t because Lenny the Weasel knew exactly what Larry was doing at the time. They only terminated his contract after what he was doing went public and they got bad press. Lenny was ultimately responsible for what happened to Janice.

Selling people fentanyl, telling them it's cocaine, is my business.

Giving sex trade workers drugs then taking all their money when they get a trick is not consensual. It is human trafficking. The Hells Angels are involved in the Surrey prostitution trade and the police are standing beside them watching it. The police complaining about a firefighter posing with a member of the Hells Angels is insanely hypocritical when they refuse to arrest the drug dealers and pimps on the Surrey strip that brutalize the homeless on a daily basis.

The Dianne Rock story is my business. Diane Rock claimed she was gang raped on the Pickton farm by bikers and cops. Not all cops gang raped Dianne Rock but some did. Likewise, not all Hells Angels gang raped Dianne Rock, but some did. Piggy's Palace was a sleazebag dive after hours run by Dave Pickton for the Hells Angels.

Jesse's after hours was fine. Piggy's Palace was not. When witnesses claimed to have seen a picture of Dave Pickton and Coquitlam Cop Jim Brown in a threesome, the Coquitlam RCMP kicked in the whistleblower's door and destroyed the evidence. When the Missing women's inquiry heard that the Hells Angels were involved, Wally Opal shut down the inquiry.

The New York model confronted police corruption and street level drug trafficking. I was there. I saw it. That is the model that I support. Ever since the OMGU was disbanded after the David Giles drug bust and the Johnny Newcome stolen car, bike and boat ring in Kelowna, gang enforcement in BC has been compromised. Gang enforcement in BC is just a bullsh*t smoke and mirrors PR stunt. Just so we are clear.

Operation Fast and Furious is still in effect

The Canadian Press is reporting that "Edgar Valdez Villarreal, known as "La Barbie" because of his light eyes and complexion, was sentenced to serve 49 years and one month and was also ordered to forfeit $192 million, which prosecutors say is a conservative estimate of the value of the cocaine Valdez was responsible for importing into the United States."

"Valdez, 44, was born and raised in the border town of Laredo, Texas, and began dealing marijuana when he was still a linebacker on the football team, prosecutors said. He climbed the ranks of the Beltran Leyva cartel at a time when the gang's leaders were associated with Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and the Sinaloa Cartel, they said."

Interesting to note that although the CIA and the ATF were supplying the Sinaloa Cartel with guns and were bring back tons of cocaine into the United States as payment in Operation Fast and Furious, no one in the CIA or the ATF did any time over that. El Chapo and La Barbie were working for the CIA just like Manuel Noriega and Pablo Escabar. All these big names take the fall but the CIA and the ATF's drug trafficking network continues uninterrupted.

El Chapo had a .50 cal sniper rifle from Fast and Furious

Kamloops shooting

Kamloops this Week is reporting that "Kamloops Mounties say they have found both vehicles linked to a shooting in Sahali on Monday, but added no arrests have been made. Police were looking for suspects in the shooting, which took place at a busy intersection near Thompson Rivers University at 1:25 pm. Shelkie said police were told a person in a vehicle had shot a firearm at someone in another vehicle near the intersection of McGill Road and Summit Drive."

"Shelkie said the suspect vehicle is described as a black pickup Escalade with an Alberta licence plate. She said there appeared to be two people in the vehicle, both wearing bandanas over their faces. The victim shot at was in a small silver car, which had one or more of its windows damaged by the gunfire."

Konaam Shirzad was shot dead in Kamloops September 2017. Konaam was a cofounder of the Red Scorpions back when it used to work for the UN before the Surrey Six when it was taken over by the Hells Angels. Sources clam that although Konaam had left the life, he kicked the Cub Pack out of Kamloops which provided a motive for the shooting.

Clay Roueche continues to shine

Clay Roueche has become quite the artist. After being in that Rolling Stone article, the local icon has spent a lot of time in a US prison after getting completely shafted when his plane to Mexico was rerouted to land in the US so the authorities could arrest him there.

The Rolling Stone article referred to Clay as Boss Weed and described "How a blue-collar kid from Chilliwack, British Columbia, forged his own samurai code and raw ambition and became the King of B.C. Bud." If Marc Emery was the prince of pot, Clay Roueche was the king.

I'm certainly not saying I support criminal activity nor am I saying that I agree with everything the UN did because I don't. I am simply pointing out that there is a colossal difference between Clay Roueche and the swine flu known as the Bacon brothers. Clay is respected the pigsh*t is not. Clay is in a completely different league than the Bacon brothers. They are worlds apart.

I have always believed that no matter what your past, you have a spotless future. Likewise, Clay affirms "no matter what a person's past may have been, their future is whatever they choose to make it." On that we agree. One of his recent prints states that "Circumstances don't make the man; they make him aware of who he is." On that we also agree.



Clay's understanding of Eastern philosophy comes from his background in the martial arts as does mine. I am no Clay Roueche. I am just a ghetto thug that has spent his life on the other side of the battlefield so to speak. Yet there is a time and place for all things. A time for war, a time for peace, a time to fight and a time to forgive.

George Christie and I have similar ideals. That is why I endorse him. As does Ralph Natale. The movie, The Last Don Standing about the Ralph Natale story is in the works and will be released soon. These men I endorse. Michael Dowd I do not. Creeps like Michael Dowd are part of the problem not part of the solution.

When this blog first started it had two founding premises. The first was that the Hells Angels are a criminal organization. The second was like unto it, that the CIA is also a criminal organization. I have amended my first premise. The second premise stands. Not all Hells Angels are criminals. Many are. No one cares about pot. People care about crack, crystal meth and most of all fentanyl. Those drugs are killing people at a record rate.

The UN did not sell Leanne Yardley fentanyl telling her it was cocaine. The Hells Angels did. I don't agree with everything the UN did but at least they were honest in their dealings. They didn't play both sides like the others did. The Hells Angels used Glen Nelson and the Redd Alert to take back all the drug dealers in the DTES. After Glen became too powerful they executed his wife to keep him in line. That was obscene.

When pot is legalized in Canada both the Hells Angels and the UN have a right to sell it. They each have a name and a brand that consumers will embrace. No one in the 420 movement is going to want cop pot. That conflict of interest is just too dirty to stomach.

The Book of Indomitable Virtues by Clay Roueche is available online.

Tom Gill is is part of the problem

Without question Surrey First has been Surrey's Worst when it comes to fiscal responsibility. Their motto has been tax and spend, spend, spend. Linda Hepner is at the lowest approval rating ever and is not running for reelection. After her pal Mayor Moonbean was defeated as Chair of Translink, she decided not to run for her position there as well. Linda Hepner and Gregor Robertson from the Mayor's Glutton council have been icons promoting the Translink tax and spend fraud and the public has had enough. Tom Gill has supported Linda Hepner all the way.

During the controversial Mega Casino vote in south Surrey when Dianne Watts choked at overwhelming public opposition, Tom Gill was defiant and supported the project despite the objections of everyone there and the entire Sikh community.

During the money laundering at Campbell Heights, steam rolling over public outcry over Hawthorne park and Clayton Heights, Tom Gill was there defying the public will.

When the local businesses and residents called for a crack down on the public drug dealing on the Surrey strip Linda Hepner did the opposite and opened up a safe inhalation site for addicts to smoke crack before they rob the local businesses. Tom Gill was there.

Clearly Tom Gill has been part of the problem not part of the solution.

Tom Gill was also there during that fraudulent rebuild of the new parking lot at Surrey Memorial Hospital. Misappropriation of health care dollars is obscene. Surrey First has been Surrey's worst.

Scandal-plagued SNC-Lavalin remains a major force in B.C.

"SNC-Lavalin has done more to bring Canadian engineering into disrepute than any company has ever had the misfortune to do in the history of Canada,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said at a January 13, 2014, city council meeting. “This is one of the few Canadian companies who could attain the high goal of being banned for 10 years by the World Bank for corruption. This is a company that is up to its earlobes in corruption in Montreal.”

Proportional Representation is not Proportional

BC wil have yet another referendum on Proportional Representation after it failed twice due to the pleading of Andrew Weaver. Proportional Representation is not Proportional. I do not support it. It's how Doug Ford won the PC leadership over Christine Elliott. Doug Ford squeaked out ahead of Christine Elliott with the majority of riding points, while Elliott won more votes overall.

The candidate with the most votes should win the riding.

Vancouver rises to the challenge

Update: Tragically Ian Campbell announced he is no longer in the running for mayor.

CBC is reporting that "Vision Vancouver, the party that currently holds the mayor's chair as well as a majority on council, has selected Ian Campbell as its candidate to replace retiring Mayor Gregor Robertson. Vision co-chair Michael Haack says Campbell, a hereditary chief of the Squamish Nation, has been acclaimed as the Vision candidate."

A hereditary chief from Squamish First Nations that lead the court challenge against the Trans Mountain pipeline. I'd say he's a shoe in. I predict a landslide victory. Third time lucky. The previous two Campbells who were mayors of Vancouver both left us with a miserable legacy. This Campbell looks like he could very well restore justice to the fallen city. Gordon Campbell killed BC Hydro. Larry Campbell's pharmaceutical fraud created the harm promotion epidemic that has seen metro Vancouver have the highest drug overdose rate in the country.

The Squamish First Nation includes North Vancouver. They own the land to Park Royal Mall and lease it out. I was born in North Vancouver. My father was an elementary school principle in the North Vancouver school district. He taught me at a young age to respect the ancestral spirit of Vancouver. He would bring home carvings and paintings First Nation students would give him. My favorite was the talking stick used to keep order in meetings.

My father would take me to watch the sunset at White Cliff park and read to me the Legends of Vancouver as recorded by Pauline Johnston. Siwash rock has a distinct legend of nobility behind it. The Pauline Johnston memorial is beside Siwash Rock at third Beach in Stanley Park.

Joe Capilano and Chief Dan George are famous local icons in Vancouver's history. The Lions in Vancouver were previously referred to as the Sisters. They look like two lions to me. When I look at the Lions I think of Joe Capiliano and Chief Dan George watching over us on the other side of the veil. This is their Vancouver too. We share our home with it's ancestral spirit. My father used to like to take pictures of the Lions from Cleveland Dam. I like to take pictures of them from the top of Sky Chair on Cypress. From there you can see the Lions face to face. All my relations.

Ontario elects Doug Ford

Ontario just elected Doug Ford. I supported Christine Elliott. Doug Ford promised to clean up the Hydro mess. How's he goign to do that? By privatizing it? That is what caused the problem in the first place just like Enron. He promised a drastic reduction in the price of hydro and gasoline. How's he going to do that? By nationalizing the oil?

Privatizing Hydro has always been a source of problems. That is what caused the BC Hydro tsunami of deferred debt. Private companies are mandated to make a profit. Gordon Campbell privatized the power brokers that sell power to the public company at above market rates. As Norm Farrell pointed out, independent power producers have overcharged tax payers almost $5 billion above market value since 2004. Enron was a national disaster.



The Toronto Star reported that "Why have hydro bills in Ontario doubled? Why is electricity more than double Manitoba’s rate and almost double Quebec’s rates? It’s not a mystery. Hydro deregulation, an Enron designed electricity market and a 'for profit' electricity system is the real reason for ballooning hydro bills." Mike Harris started the problem. Kathleen Wynne finished it.

Fatal shooting in Chilliwack - Update

The Peacearch News is reporting that "One man is dead after what appears to be a targeted homicide at a house on Wellington Avenue in Chilliwack early Thursday morning. When Chilliwack RCMP officers arrived at the scene in the 45000-block of Wellington at approximately 5 a.m. on June 7, emergency personnel were already treating a victim suffering life-threatening injuries. The victim succumbed to his injuries at the scene."

Possible shootout on residential street downtown Chilliwack

BC Local News is reporting that "There appears to have been gunshots fired involving at least one vehicle on a residential street downtown Chilliwack on Friday afternoon. A neighbour said they heard vehicles crashing and shots fired some time after noon on a quiet stretch of Reece Avenue between Young Road and Cook Street. And another neighbour may have captured a victim or suspect car fleeing the scene" near the homicide on Thursday.



Last summer a Hells Angels associate from Calgary shot dead in Chilliwack. In this recent Chilliwack shooting, Nicholas Cross was murdered. Kim Bolan pointed out that Nic's brother Clayton Eheler was named as an associate of James Riach in court documents and was charged with shooting Ciaran D’Monte from the UN in 2006.

In March the Chilliwack Progress reported that "A known drug dealer in a known drug house, Cody Isaacson died after more than a dozen bullets were sprayed into the front bedroom and front door of the notorious house at the corner of Broadway and Cedar Avenue around 6 a.m. on Jan. 31." A public shooting of a known drug dealer in a known drug house.

Three charged after guns, drugs seized from Oshawa home linked to Hells Angels

The Toronto Sun is reporting that "A woman and two men are facing a dozen charges each after searches at an Oshawa home allegedly linked to the Hells Angels. OPP say weapons, ammunition, drugs and outlaw motorcycle gang paraphernalia were seized."

CBC is reporting that "Last Thursday, the OPP's organized crime enforcement bureau and its biker enforcement unit, along with the help of Durham Regional Police's tactical unit, seized a .380 calibre semi-automatic pistol, a Ruger Mark II .22 calibre semi-automatic pistol, ammunition, drug paraphernalia and about 500 millimetres of GHB, commonly known as Liquid Ecstasy." GHB is not known as liquid Ecstasy, it's known as date rape drug.

Notice that Ontario has a Biker Enforcement Unit and BC does not. BC needs to bring back the OMGU. All these fake press releases mean nothing. Bring back the OMGU and target street level drug trafficking. Walk the walk don't just talk the talk.

The Oshawa Hell Angels have a history of drug trafficking. Their clubhouse was seized. A dirty cop was busted as well. A Durham narcotics officer in Oshawa was charged with drug trafficking. Last year two other Durham police officers were also charged with drug trafficking.

As I have said before, the New York Model targeted police corruption and street level drug trafficking. Hells Angels associate Sean Heickert set off the Winnipeg Gang War after he killed one of their own from a HA support group so the Ontario Hells Angels could take over the Thompson drug trade from the Winnipeg Chapter. The police claim his own brother James Heickert a full patch member of the Oshawa Hells Angels was invloved in a murder plot to kill his brother Sean. Pretty dysfunctional. Zeneli worked for the Winnipeg HAs. He was not a rival.

The Toronto Sun is reporting that it was a murderous May in Ontario that saw nine people murdered in 24 days.

Skytrain for Surrey Protest at Bear Creek Park

Skytrain for Surrey hosted a protest at the Surrey Arts Centre in Bear Creek Park today outside Translink's LRT Koolaid lovefest so I eagerly checked it out. I met a few key people on the opposition. Daryl Dela Cruz from the Skytrain for Surrey group is rock solid. They are the ones that made the YouTube videos showing LRT crashes put to music.

I also met Rajesh Jayaprakash from People First Surrey who is also rock solid. The opposition is rallying together for the upcoming election. Rajesh is an engineer with a new political party who is running for City Council. I support him because he is clear in his opposition to the LRT insanity.

I saw a couple of guys coming out of the lovefest with cardboard trains that looked like a Pirate's Pack from Whitespot. I asked if they they got fries and a drink with that. A lot of people coming out of the meeting were not impressed. The meeting showed examples of efficient railways systems in Europe but that is not what they have planned for Surrey. Not at all.



Interesting to note, the Director of South of Fraser Rapid Transit at TransLink is Stephan Mehr. Before that he worked over 22 years with SNC-Lavalin the dirtiest construction company on the planet that is still in court facing fraud and corruption charges.



In 2017 SNC Lavalin agreed to repay Quebec municipalities for contracts obtained through fraudulent tactics. SNC-Lavalin was charged with offering bribes worth $47.7 million to officials in Libya. They are also alleged to have defrauded various Libyan public agencies of approximately $129.8 million. SNC-Lavalin agreed to pay $1.5 million to settle a corruption case filed by the African Development Bank for ordering illicit payments to public officials to secure contracts.

Criminal charges against Arthur Porter, the man accused of committing what Quebec authorities described as the biggest corruption fraud in Canada’s history, were officially abandoned, two years after his death in a Panama prison. Porter was charged with fraud and breach of trust with regards to a hospital built by SNC-Lavalin in Montreal. The list goes on...

21 kilos of crystal meth seized in Saskatoon

Unlike Metro Vancouver, the police in Saskatoon continue to target street level drug trafficking with great success. Global is reporting that "What began as Saskatoon police observing what they believed to be street-level drug trafficking turned into one of the most significant drug busts the city has ever seen. After Global News began inquiring Monday afternoon into a major drug bust, police confirmed that $400,000 was seized by officers during a raid along with 21 kilograms of crystal meth." Crystal meth is a horrible drug. Getting 21 kilos off the street is awesome.

"According to authorities, drug deals involving fentanyl spurred the Saskatoon Integrated Drug Enforcement Street Team (SIDEST) to launch an investigation in April." When drug dealers started selling fentanyl in Saskatoon, the police started arresting them. It's common sense. In Surrey the police watch them and provide them police protection. That makes them culpable in the fentanyl deaths that are caused by the drug dealers they watch and protect.

Firefighters form Florian's Knights

People have been asking me my opinion about the new firefighters MC called Florian's Knights. I don't have a problem with them. If the firefighters want to form an MC then let them. What concerns me is the smoke and mirror drama objecting to them.

For the most part, firefighters are well respected. Much more so than cops. Firefighters in Vancouver have always had a history of getting along with the Hells Angels. Yet they don't have a history of selling drugs for the Hells Angels.

The police are concerned and when the dust of their frenzy settles the root of the problem is revealed. Normally the Hells Angels form puppet clubs like the Zig Zag crew to sell drugs. When one puppet club gets busted they quickly form another. However, it is highly unlikely that firemen will sell drugs for the Hells Angels. Entirely possible but highly likely.

Nevertheless, members of the Veterens MC in Langford have been busted for drug trafficking. That is concerning. Locally we have the Shadow club right beside Gus' shop and the Jesters on Scott Road near the Park and Ride. Neither groups have been busted for drug trafficking yet. The Shadow club has a cool logo, the Jesters do not. Their logo is a bit juvenile.

Although I do ride a motorcycle and have done so for many years, I have never had a desire to wear a MC patch. I understand what the ideology aspires to but recognize that as George Christie pointed out, those attempts almost always fall short. As I have said before I have never been a part of *that* life and I have never had a desire to. I march to the beat of my own drum.

I find it highly suspicious that the police would send out press releases sounding the alarm about the founder of Florian's Knights posing with members of the Hells Angels when at the same time the police watch the drug trafficking out of Shakerz and on the Surrey Strip. Why would they watch drug dealers sell fentanyl on the Surrey Strip without arresting them but cry the blues when a fireman poses with someone who knows someone who was involved with someone who once sold drugs. It's far too hypocritical for me to stomach. It's as though they are trying to convince the public they are targeting street level drug trafficking when in fact they aren't.

It's like the Teamsters Horsemen. I don't have a problem with them. I respect them and what they do. Did they have permission from the Hells Angels to form? Of course they did. That doesn't mean they sell drugs for them. When the police obsesse over eliminating all MCs while they ignore and promote drug trafficking, I am forced to ask why?

So the compromised BC Gang task force is concerned about a firefighter who posed with a few Hells Angels that don't sell drugs but the compromised BC Gang Task force is not concerned about aresting the Hells Angels that actually do sell drugs. What's wrong with that picture?

Two teens shot dead in Surrey

The Peaearch News is reporting that "Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has confirmed two Surrey teenagers are dead, following a late-night shooting in South Surrey’s Campbell Heights neighbourhood that police believe was targeted. 16-year-old Jaskarn (Jason) Singh Jhutty and 17-year-old Jaskaran (Jesse) Singh Bhangal were found dead just after 10:30 p.m. Monday near 192 Street and 40 Avenue. The victims had sustained gunshot wounds and were declared dead at scene. The discovery came less than an hour after Surrey RCMP were alerted to a burning car in the area of 184 Street and 29A Avenue, and just a half hour before police were notified of a second burned car, at 172 Street and 93 Avenue." Highschool students. Tragic.

Surrey Businesses want Skytrain not LRT

Today a coworker said they saw a No LRT sign on King George Hwy and asked if it was me. Not on King George I said. I put one up on 104th but the city took it down. So I checked it out and sure enough a local business had two large signs that said No Light Rail We Want Skytrain. I stopped in and had a chat with the local business and they were livid with City Hall. Their business is on King George Hwy and they realize an on ground train with create traffic gridlock and adversely affect their business. That is why we need to elect a new city council in Surrey on October 20. Like everyone points out, Surrey Council does not listen.

Roslyn Cassells and a few supporters were raising public awareness in Surrey yesterday about the harmful effects of BTK, the aerial spraying pesticide for gypsy moths. Instead of using the small gypsy moth traps the City has decided to aerial spray pesticide that kills all moths, butterflies and caterpillars. Consequently it also adversely effects all the animals that eat moths and caterpillars. If a songbird feeds it's baby a caterpillar that has been sprayed with the pesticide, the baby songbird dies. Killing all the butterflies in Surrey is somewhat tyrannical.

The George Christie story hits the road

I just checked out George Christie's web site to see if he has any new projects under way and I see that he has. The former president of the Ventura Hells Angels put out in bad for beefing with Sonny Barger after 40 years of service has a new stage show on the road called Outlaw. The world premier was April 11th in Ventura California.

May 2018 the production hit Santa Barbara and Palm Desert but June 22nd, 23rd, 24th 2018 it will be in Las Vegas. Outlaw is a one-man show, starring George Christie, written and directed by Richard La Plante. "OUTLAW chronicles the rise and fall of a man, from celebrity parties to solitary confinement in federal prison. It is the story of an era in America that has come and gone, with all its myth, magic, music and harsh reality. OUTLAW is also the story of redemption, human spirit and the will to survive." Good on ya.

Like Ralph Natale, George concludes that “For me, the club, with all its back biting and hypocrisy, had become the people we’d once rebelled against,” He says. “Brotherhood didn’t exist. Not like it used to.” Maybe if he applies for a pardon he can bring the show north of the 49.

The controversial DVD The last American Outlaw is epic.

His life story is also chronicled in the book Exile on Front Street.

Police charge Toronto lawyer with Perjury

The Toronto Star is reporting that "It sounds like something out of a John Grisham novel. Allegations of a dirty cop, and prosecutors trying to cover up and bring down the lawyer who exposed the corruption, according to a factum filed in court by defence lawyers Marie Henein and Christine Mainville. Her Majesty the Queen vs. Leora Shemesh moves into a Kitchener court Monday in a case that will be closely watched by the criminal legal community. Shemesh is a well-known Toronto defence lawyer charged with perjury and attempt to obstruct justice in relation to her work as defence counsel in a Brampton drug case."

Here's the deal. Leora Shemesh is a prominent defense lawyer in Toronto. In 2012 the Toronto Star referred to her as the police force’s enemy No. 1 in court. "She has built a reputation alleging officers lie in court to support the charges they have laid." That article was published after "her full-frontal attack on the conduct of Peel Region police officers against her cocaine-dealing client led a judge to deliver a scathing rebuke to the force’s drug squad. Superior Court Justice Deena Baltman found the officers beat Tan-Hung Dinh, searched his home illegally, then lied about it all in court." We have seen a history of corruption in the Toronto and Hamilton drug squads.

In the recent case in question the police claim she said she was in possession a video showing a police officer, Peel police Const. Ian Dann, of stealing money from her client Ha Tran’s residence, when no such video existed then in their opinion committed perjury when she told the court that she never said she was in actual possession of the video.

We did recently see a video of an Abbotsford cop stuffing money into his sock from a local drug bust. Nothing would surprise us. The question we need to ask is did Peel police Const. Ian Dann steal the money, yes or no and did such a video actually exist? Stay tuned.

Will the banks rip off Europe again?

Italy and Spain are in the news. Or so the corporate media would have us believe. After elections is Spain and Italy CNN is speculating that those elections could trigger another financial meltdown in Europe. Where have we heard that before? Another Brexit sky is falling trap.

The first thing we need to realize is that the financial meltdown in Greece was the result of investment fraud. What was public money became private then disappeared.

Now the MSM is citing a European bank meltdown in 2012 preparing the stage for a 2018 remake of the same fraud. They say the best way to rob a bank is to own it. When we see a bank fail, we don't have to look far to see the intelligence community behind it. The BCCI and the Nugan Hand bank in Australia both failed because of money laundering and drug trafficking through the CIA. History has recorded that. Who was responsible for the Texas banking fraud back in the /80's? It was the CIA. The CIA used investment fraud as well as drug trafficking to raise money for Iran Contra. Retired Navy Intelligence Officer Al Martin has confirmed that.



It comes as no surprise to hear that Brussels in Belgium is considered the de facto capital of the European Union seeings how Brussels is the focal point of the new world order's false flag attacks. Terrorism without a motive is always suspect. Operation Gladio is still in effect.

All the absurd drama trying to oppose Brexit is suspect as is this new drama about democratic elections in Italy and Spain. Now I am not anti immigration. I am Canadian. We are all immigrants here and we seek to establish a free republic based on diversity and racial unity. However, I can understand how the French would like France to remain French and how the Irish would like Ireland to remain Irish. I get that. That does not mean I support Fascism because clearly I do not. It means I recognize that Canada and Europe are different.

Italy's history with Fascism makes us concerned when they take steps in that direction again under the guise of anti immigration. In Spain a corruption scandal after a bank bail out has seen an interim Socialist government take over after a non confidence vote in the current Prime Minister. From one extreme to the other. We need to balance the extremes not run with them because both extremes lead to the same place.

My position on the European Union is neutral. If Europe wants to form one country then let them. If individual countries don't then don't force them. It's that simple. I think England is wise for pulling out of the European Union because of the banking fraud tied to the intelligence community. Forming a United States of Europe without a Constitution or Charter of Rights protecting civil liberty could in fact become another take over by Stalin or Hitler all over again. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right but the worst enemy of all is the enemy from within.

Paolo Violi sentenced for drug trafficking

The Montreal Gazzette is reporting that "The son of murdered Montreal Mafia boss Paolo Violi has been sentenced to a 16-year prison term for drug trafficking. According to the Toronto Star, Giuseppe (Joe) Violi, who lived in Hamilton, was sentenced Friday for trafficking fentanyl and cocaine. Violi was reportedly arrested in an extensive investigation into drug trades across southwestern Ontario and New York. His older brother, Domenico Paolo Violi, has also been charged, but is yet to stand trial."

"According to the agreed statement of facts, Violi was involved in a scheme to import 200 to 300 kilograms of cocaine into Canada. Paolo Violi was the powerful Calabrian boss of Montreal’s Mafia until he was murdered in 1978 by members of the Rizzuto crime family. Violi’s death cleared the path for the Rizzutos to take control of the Montreal Mafia for decades. After his death, his widow and two sons fled to Hamilton, a region that belongs to the Calabrian Mafia."

The Calabrians of Hamilton were warring with the Rizzutos in Montreal when Vito's Father Nic was shot in his own home by a sniper in front of his family at the age of 86 and when his funeral home was firebombed. Both barbaric acts crossed the line and broke all rules of engagement.

Ralph Natale was right. The new kids on the block have lost their way. The Last Don Standing.

Translink's LRT Twilight Zone in Surrey

Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate trash is reporting that "Prompted by public pressure, TransLink and the city have restored lanes of traffic along much of 104th Avenue as part of the design for the $1.65 billion Surrey light rail transit project, officials said in a technical briefing Thursday. Instead of crimping lanes of traffic down to one in either direction of tram tracks running down the centre of 104th Avenue, TransLink project director Stephan Mehr said there will be two lanes wherever the existing right-of-way will allow, which will be about 70 per cent of the route."

First things first. Translink is now admitting that the original plan for the Surrey LRT would cripple traffic along 104th down to one lane in either direction. Doing that would be completely insane. It would be an infrastructure nightmare. 104th is a main transportation route for traffic. 108th backs up in the afternoon because it is two lanes with no turning lane. People making a left hand turn cause traffic to back up in the afternoons. Reverting 104th to a single lane each way with no left hand turning lanes is completely insane. So is their revised corporate spin.

Their new plan states there will be two lanes wherever the existing right-of-way will allow, which will be about 70 per cent of the route. How insane is that? Let me count the ways. There is no room for two lanes and a LRT on the ground unless they chop off everyone's from yard like they did along 160th and anywhere else they see fit. Having a road go from one lane to two lanes back and forth is virtually useless. It will bottleneck every time it goes to a single lane. This still does not resolve the problem of making a left hand turn on 104th after an LRT is in place. If you want to make a left hand turn and hold up traffic, you have to wait for oncoming traffic then look in your rear view mirror to make sure a train isn't roaring up behind you. It is structurally unsafe as the Skytrain for Surrey videos clearly show.

People who drive cars prefer Skytrain because Skytrain does not impede traffic. Newton will have the exact same problem. Although King George Hwy is much wider that 104th putting an on ground train down the middle of it will dramatically reduce the room available for the current lanes of traffic. There is no way they will be able to maintain 2 lanes of traffic at King George and 72nd Avenue. That will create colossal bottlenecks of traffic all along King George Hwy. This insane plan is not a step forward it is a giant leap back into the dark ages.

In addition to the same structurally dangerous task of making a left hand turn between trains, the other obvious problem is timing all the traffic lights to coordinate with the trains for traffic crossing the system. You think 88th crossing King George backs up now, wait until a LRT is in place. This whole plan is STUPID. Extending Skytrain to Newton would be far simpler, is would cost a lot less money and it wouldn't create the same infrastructure nightmare a LRT would.

The tax and spend mayor's glutton council needs to be replaced because they simply do not listen. Linda Hepner isn't running for Mayor because she knows her approval rating is at the lowest ever. We have them on the run. Now is the time to finish them.



As for Harold Munro's cheap tabloid of corporate propaganda, that isn't even worth lining the bird cage with. Harold Munro has destroyed a generation of credible news reporting. That is his legacy. God Bless Wayne Moriarty. May he Rest in Peace but God damn Harold Munro.

Hamilton cop sentenced to 12 and a half years

CBC is reporting that "Craig Ruthowsky, a Hamilton cop who was found guilty in a pay-for-protection scheme with a crew of Hamilton drug dealers, has been sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in a federal penitentiary. Justice Robert Clark handed down his ruling in Superior Court in Toronto Tuesday. The sentence includes six months credit for time served. Ruthowsky was also ordered to pay a $250,000 fine — the amount Clark said Ruthowsky took in bribes. If Ruthowsky doesn't pay that fine within a year, three more years are tacked on to his sentence. "

This is in addition to the allegations of police corruption in Hamilton by Paul Manning who was an under cover Hamilton police officer. Court documents filed by Manning claim that "Hamilton police officers fraudulently claimed reward money from Crime Stoppers, and others were involved in “ripping off” drug dealers and marijuana grow operations. Two officers have been ‘on the take’ since the ’80s. They would pay reward money to a relative and then split the proceeds."

"A senior Hamilton officer sold information about the investigation into the unsolved 1998 murders of criminal lawyer Lynn Gilbank and her husband, Fred. It’s believed Gilbank may have been the subject of a gangland hit at her Ancaster home. Several Hamilton police officers have ties to organized crime and the Hells Angels. Manning also names a Toronto officer he alleges was selling guns to Toronto gang members."

This is in addition to former Niagara Regional Police constable Frank Dean Rudge and Montreal cop Benoît Roberge who were both accused of leaking information to the Hells Angels. Or the saga of police corruption in a Toronto drug squad reported in the Toronto Star.



This is why Post Media News mergers are bad for business. Harold Munro doesn't report police corruption like the independent newspapers do. He runs interference for the cops instead. Harold Munro never reported on Kamloops cop Randi Love who was caught selling cocaine on duty. That was local rock star Tim Petruk. The one who brought us the story of Peter Leask in Kamloops when Harold Monro folded like a cheap tent.

The Vancouver Sun didn't report on the Abbotsford cop caught on video putting drug money in his sock during a police raid. That was the Abby news and Global. The Vancouver sun did put out few full page adds saying we can trust them. Not. This is why obsessing over seizing the proceeds for crime without addressing street level drug trafficking is the wrong road to take.

The New York Model confronted police corruption and targeted street level drug trafficking. BC is worse than Hamilton because they keep letting career criminals like Blaze and Len Pelletier off in exchange for tainted intel. The 44 kilos of pig deworming cutting agent Lenny was caught with is specifically used to cut crack. Lenny was supplying Surrey crack shacks during the peak of the Surrey House of Horrors. He and Blaze are the root of the problem. No justice, no peace.

Justin Trudeau detonates nuclear holocaust of debt

The Toronto Star is reporting that "The Liberal government’s $4.5-billion Trans Mountain pipeline purchase was met with swift criticism Tuesday, as environmental groups and Indigenous leaders vowed to keep protesting the controversial expansion project and opposition politicians slammed the move." MacLeans is reporting that "In one fell swoop, the Liberal government’s purchase of Kinder Morgan’s pipeline fails many groups, from Indigenous communities to the provinces themselves." However, it goes much further than that.

"On Parliament Hill, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May called the purchase 'an historic blunder with taxpayer dollars,' citing a document from the National Energy Board that says Kinder Morgan bought the existing pipeline from its previous owner for $550 million in 2007 - a far cry from what the Texas company will get by selling it to Ottawa, she said."

Kinder Morgan bought the pipeline in 2007 for $550 million. Ten years later we just bought that same pipeline from them for $4.5 billion. That was complete iresponsibility. No wonder they are laughing all the way to the bank. He just spent $4.5 billion on something that already exists. There was no need to make the purchase. Buying the second pipeline was an entirely different matter. This clown has absolutely no business sense. No one on the right likes him. Now no one on the left likes him either. We need to hold an election and get rid of that clown once and for all.



Like I said before, we have gone from Harper's police state to Justin's clown state. Thomas Mulcair supported the decriminalization of pot not the legalization. He also supported a balanced budget. Thomas Mulcair was the better choice. That's who I voted for. Je me souviens.
