NATO Missile strike kills Gadhafi's youngest son and three grandchildren

Gadhafi's youngest son and three grandchildren under the age of 12 were killed in a NATO missile strike in Tripoli on Saturday.

The strike came hours after Gadhafi called for a ceasefire and negotiations in what rebels called a publicity stunt. The commander of the NATO operation, Canadian Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard, said he was aware of unconfirmed reports that some Gadhafi family members may have been killed and he regretted "all loss of life, specially the innocent civilians being harmed as a result of the ongoing conflict."

This is a shameful disgrace. We put a Canadian poster puppet on stage to appease the media and say we're really sorry we killed innocent children while enforcing our mandated ceasefire. Bombing one side is not a ceasefire. The rebels rejected the African Union's Peace plan because we are enabling them. We have no idea who the rebels are. Some have documented connections to the Taliban. Gadhafi contributed to Sarkozy's election campaign. This war is about oil, nothing else.

Sarah Palin may be a wingnut but Donald Trump is a whack job. Trump wants to run for president. On Libya, he says: “I would go in and take the oil… I would take the oil and stop this baby stuff.” On Iraq, he says: “We stay there, and we take the oil… In the old days, when you have a war and you win, that nation’s yours.”

After the Canadian election we know Stephen Harper will spend a huge amount of money on many fighter jets made by a company one of his candidates lobbied for and will spend a huge amount of money for more prisons to be built for nonviolent crime. In contract Jack Layton will scrap the oil bombing jets for an improved navy and will hire more doctors and nurses. I know who I'm voting for.

Agent Orange

I was looking at a spread sheet in one of the papers outlining the different candidates positions on various issues in the paper and saw one that was interesting. Under Military for the NDP it said devoting some of the funds for all those jets to rebuilding the navy and awarding compensation for the victims of Agent Orange at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick.

I'm like what Agent Orange victims? Agent Orange was of course the chemical weapon used during the Vietnam war. During WW I and II it was mustard gas. I had vaguely heard about them testing Agent Orange in Canada. Turns out they dumped more Agent Orange on Gagetown then the entire Vietnam War.

This brings us back to pretending to support the military then shafting soldiers who serve the country as well as the whole can of worms surrounding chemical weapons. Turns out Canada helped produce agent Orange. What a great business venture. Not.

We hear a lot of people condemn Saddam Husein for using Chemical weapons but it was the Americans that sold him the Chemical weapons to use on Iran in the first place. Profiting from the manufacture of chemical weapons is bad business. Kinda like exposing the troops to chemical weapons in the Gulf War then denying them compensation.

Donald Trump

Aside from being a con artist and a complete whack job, the amount of income tax Donald Trump pays is absolutely criminal. In 1990, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Cay Johnston studied the Trump accounts and claimed that while Trump claimed to be worth $1.4bn, he actually owed $600m more than he owned and you and I were worth more than him. His current wealth is not known, but he claims he is worth more than $2.7bn.

Johnston studied four of Trump’s recent tax returns, and found he legally paid no taxes in two of them. In America today, a janitor can pay more income tax than Donald Trump – and the Republicans regard that not as a source of shame, but of pride. This is the problem.

I am the first one to admit too much corporate tax is not a good thing, but no tax for the exceedingly wealthy is a crime. That's all there is to it. What ever happened to those roll up your sleeves and get to work slogans like ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. Paying a decent tax is a civic duty. Render unto Caesar and what not. Tax evasion is a serious crime. Creating legal loop holes for the wealthy to evade taxes all together is worse.

Oh yeah, Donald Trump was a Vietnam war draft dodger just like George W Bush was.

Criminal Publication bans

CBC wrote an article explaining a bit about publication bans. Sometimes publication bans exist to protect witnesses or the victims of sexual assault. Sometimes they exist to protect the identity of under cover police officers. Sometimes they exist to give an accused the right to a fair trial. Unfortunately we now see publication bans over used in British Columbia to protect criminals and organized crime.

When the Pickton publication ban was lifted, more details were released to the public. I'm still waiting to hear why the Crown counsel specifically asked Pickton if the Hells Angels were involved. Obviously he said no, but what I'm interested in is what made them even ask the question? Other than the fact that his brother Dave was a Hells Angels associate of course. Surely there was more evidence that although may not have been conclusive may had triggered the question. After all, it was crown counsel in that case that implied Robert Pickton didn't act alone.

Having said that 486.4(1) implies that court files relating to that case are not available to the public without a court order. That means if I wanted to violate a publication ban under 486.4(1) I couldn't simply because I wouldn't have access to the court files.

Indeed violating the Charter of Rights and preventing the public from knowing that Hells Angels associates were charged in a gang rape at a Hells Angels puppet clubhouse would truly be a crime. Surely we can report on that incident without naming the victim to protect her identity or spoiling the accused's right to a fair trial.

Even when there was a publication ban in effect on Robert Pickton's trial, it was not unlawful to say he was charged with multiple murders without publishing any evidence from the trial.

Public Vigilance

I must say the turn in the tide with the Canadian election is refreshing. However, the key thing to remember is whoever gets elected the public still needs to be vigilant and involved in the ongoing democratic process.

The Reform party used to talk about holding referendums on political issues and poling the public to make decisions. That would be the ultimate in democratic government. Harper does the opposite. He spends huge amounts of tax dollars to brain wash the public trying to convince them how they should vote on an issue. Just like Gordon Campbell did. I do believe that if the public expressed a concern about an issue the NDP would listen to them if they were elected. Unlike Harper or Mulroney who would railroad right over them.

The stereotypes are starting to become less believable. Everyone preaches hell fire and claims the sky will fall if the NDP get elected because they will spend recklessly and raise taxes. Yet that is exactly what Stephen Harper did. Bush added trillions to their debt in the states because he was a supporter of large corporations not small business including the business of war.

It shatters our stereotypes when we hear the NDP speaking out against human rights violations in Communist China. Yet that is exactly what they did. It shatters out stereotypes when we hear the NDP speaking out against crime and in support of law and order. Yet that is exactly what they did. It shatters our stereotypes when we hear the NDP talk about promoting small business yet that is exactly what they did.

Obama has raised a good point. There seems to be an ongoing controversy over Obama's place of birth. He joked about how significant that issue has become on the Internet when they are trying to make some pretty important steps for the American people in their budget debates. He pointed out that despite the fact that they posted his real birth certificate on the Internet as well as sworn affidavits from people who state they saw the real birth certificate confirming he was born in Hawaii, malicious minds still perpetuate the false rumor that he was born somewhere else.

Obama pointed out that in the spirit of bipartisan politics healthy debates on the issues should be encouraged. He then pointed out that degenerating healthy debate into perpetuating false statements isn't going to help the country move forward. The same applies to us. We need to look at the issues and debate the issues and leave the false stereotypes aside.

There are legitimate concerns about letting ourselves be controlled and governed by large corporations who restrict our sovereignty and reduce our democracy while they loudly preach about freedom in the process. Free trade is fine but signing trade agreements that give up our democratic rights is not and is clearly what's on the table.

Applying the concept of public vigilance to addressing crime and the Vancouver gang war we need to realize whoever gets elected and whatever laws are in place, we need to report crime or else nothing will change.

The Warm Brotherhood

Before the Hells Angels came to Amsterdam William van Boxtel formed and ran the predominate gang in the /60's called Kreidler Crew East. Van Boxtel's group became Hells Angels and the Hells Angels eventually kicked him out after they took over his crew. Why does that not surprise me?

It has been claimed that Yab Yum owner Hennie Vittali was really a front man for the Hells Angels and that the Yab Yum brothel was really run by his brother Harry and Hells Angel vice president Harry Stoeltie.

It has been said that Hells Angel Harry Stoeltie was "involved" with Willem Holleeder. Somehow I get the feeling that it wasn't just a business relationship. It had to be a pretty special relationship for them to kick out Big William for wanting to liquidate the vespa queen. Personally, I think they were romantically involved and were warm brothers or as they say in German warmer Bruder. At least Danny Kane was honest about his preferences.

The Last of the Mohicans

I'm usually one of the first ones to give the sacred nod when an Indigenous brother rises up and succeeds in life. I'm just a little bit concerned with Daniel Uneputty's chosen affiliation. I think he is better than the club he has been chosen to represent. It's like the term Tongan Crip. Tongans and Samoans have respect. Crips don't.

Here in Canada, Mom Boucher along with his pals Biff Hamel and Salvatore Cazzetta were all members of Boucher's white supremacist motorcycle club. Then after doing some dirty deeds, they joined the Hells Angels.

So aside from being convicted of armed rape, Mom Boucher was a white supremacist. Yet he befriended a brother named Gregory Wooley and let him join a Hells Angels puppet club in Montreal called the Rockers then form his own puppet club called the Syndicate and the Backers so the Hells angels could sell cocaine to all the Crips in Montreal. It was a business transaction not a rise above his bigotry.

Daniel Uneputty and Monica Akihary are Moluccan from Malaysia. Although discovered by Portuguese sailors in the 16th century, the 10 major islands and island groups ultimately fell to the Dutch, who made a fortune exploiting the clove crop there. Today's residents are descendants of indigenous East Indians and slaves brought from Africa by the Netherlands East India Company to work the Dutch plantations. During W.W. II, many Moluccans fought alongside the Dutch to resist Japanese aggression.

After V-J Day, as Indonesia prepared for independence, separatists agitated for Moluccan autonomy, but Djakarta insisted on incorporating the islands among Indonesia's 14,000-island chain. In 1949, Amsterdam officials removed 12,000 of the more adamant Moluccan nationalists to a converted Nazi concentration camp in Holland with the promise (according to the Moluccans) that they one day would be returned to a liberated homeland.

During the nearly 30 years that have passed since then, these refugees have remained together, occupying their own quarters of Dutch cities. Few have been assimilated into Dutch society. Most of the old-timers by now have given up their dream of returning to the free Moluccas. However, their children have taken up the cause and recently have resorted to violence to spotlight their plight. In an attempt to coerce the Netherlands into forcing Djakarta into relinquishing the Moluccas, activists in Holland have claimed credit for many acts of terrorism during the 1970s.

For its part, Holland has washed its hands of the whole question of Moluccan independence, disclaiming any right to interfere in the internal affairs of Indonesia. Another broken promise abetting exploitation. King Billy was dutch. The whole era of Dutch Imperialism and slavery was very, dare I say, very British although the French and Spanish also vigorously participated in it.

So are the Hells Angels now exploiting the Moluccans, to sell crack like they exploited Greg Wooley and those of African descent in Montreal? White supremacists do tend to exploit not befriend indigenous people. The German Hells Agnels have ties to neo Nazis just like Mom Boucher did. The German Hells Angels run brothels there too. Only they have been caught beating the women and forcing them into prostitution.

The Moluccans have been in Amsterdam longer than the Hells Angels. The Amsterdam Hells angels didn't become official until 1978. Ironically enough, the drug related violence in Amsterdam has spiked with their presence.

Daniel Uneputty and the Amsterdam Hells Angels

Daniel Uneputty is the president of the Amsterdam Hells Angels. Another guy with a fat ass fairing. I don't understand what the appeal is for huge fairings. You might as well drive a car.

Uneputty has been president of the chapter since September 21 2004 after they kicked out the founder and former president Willem van Boxtel aka Big William.



It's kind of a complicated matter even without trying to translate news articles. They say Big William was kicked out for allegedly accepting a contract to kill a large criminal who did business with the Hells Angels.

"The murdered real estate magnate Willem Endstra suspected extortion money he paid to William Holleeder, was used to finance drug trafficking by the Hells Angels."

OK let's back up a bit. Willem Endstra was a real estate agent who was accused of laundering drug money. It was said that he was being extorted by William Holleeder. A criminal bad boy who kidnapped the heir of Heineken. I kid you not. He kidnapped the heir of Heineken and held him for ransom. Is nothing sacred? That's almost as bad as kidnapping the Guinness family. It's in bad taste. It's a low life petty thief kind of thing to do.

The story goes Endstra had enough and hired the Hells Angels to kill Holleeder. Some say Big William accepted the contract, other say he didn't. The contract itself was conflicted. The claim is that the plot involved planting a bomb in a Hells Angel facility and blow him up there were other Hells Angels might have been hurt. Like they've never done that before.



From the way I see it, it looks like the beef arises because Holleeder was bigger than Endstra and they were afraid of him. Yes afraid. So the back stabbing weasels betrayed one of their own instead of doing the deed and taking out a high level bad guy. It is more likely that Holleeder got wind of the contract and the rest of the chapter panicked.

It comes as no surprise to hear Amsterdam's Red Light district has gone down the toiletcr account. Thanks! after the Hells Angels slimmed their way into the drug and prostitution market there. The Hells Angels purchased the Yab Yum brothel worth 9 million Euros for 1.8 million. The Hells Angel in charge of Yab Yum was affiliated with Willem Holleeder. Come on people. The idiot rides a vespa:

The Sixth Family and the Hells Angels

In a book about Vito Rizzuto's connections to the Hells Angels we read: As the plans for moving the drugs unfolded, they revealed the seamless way the Sixth Family worked with both Colombian cocaine cartels and the Hells Angels Motorcycle club.

On August 17 1994 the ship loaded with 558 kilograms of cocaine was met off the coast of Columbia by Norman Rosenblum, a wealthy and enthusiastic businessman from Vancouver. (page 255)

The freighter the headed north, stopping first in Miami, then making it's way along Canada's eastern seaboard and down the St Lawrence seaway to Montreal. Once it arrived at the Port of Montreal, the drugs were supposed to be transshipped to England. In London, two Quebec members of the Hells Angels, Pierre Rodrigue and David Rouleau, waited to collect the load for distribution in Europe.

Rosenblum told an undercover operator that he was a drug importation coordinator -- court documents say he reported directly to Montreal drug-trafficker Luis Cantieri, whom the Montreal Gazette described as "one of the kingpins of a drug network, with connections to Mafia bosses Vito Rizzuto and Frank Cotroni." Rosenblum, who was arrested with 40 others, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his role in the drug and money-laundering scheme.

Paris Christoforou

Let's not forget Paris Christoforou. He's a Hells Angel from Toronto that was caught on a botched hit April 21 2004 with former mafia driver Peter Scarcella where an innocent victim was paralyzed by a stray bullet. They were trying to kill mafia rival Mike Modica. Doing it in public at a Toronto sandwich shop was reckless endangerment.

So once again we have a Hells Angel tied to a drug related murder, this time involving the Sicilian mafia. Peter Scarcella was just a driver for a mob boss named Paul Volpe. "Someone" his boss knew shot him in the back and left him in the trunk of a car. That's when Scarcella took over for his boss.

Seemingly Scarcella formed ties with the Montreal mafia controlled by Vito Rizzuto. I say seemingly because everything these guys did was a web of lies and betrayal.

Seemingly Vito Rizzuto had connections with Mom Boucher and the Hells Angels in Montreal. I say seemingly because the Hells Angels betray everyone they are involved with and don't work for anyone. The unusual way Vito Rizzuto was executed after his son Nick shows that.

Vito Rizzuto was the mediator who was the architect of the consortium or strategic alliance between the Hells Angels, the Mafia and everyone else.

Seemingly Mom Boucher and Luc Bordeleau messed up a huge cocaine deal with the Rizzuto's through Raynald Desjardins who had ties to the Hells Angels and was described as Rizzuto's right-hand man.

Everything the Hells Angels did in Ontario and in Quebec was tied to drugs. That's why they attained criminal organization status there. Arguing that the Hells Angels in British Columbia are separate from the Hells Angels in Ontario and Quebec's crimes are no longer believable when you see how many drug related murders they also became involved with in their short 28 years of being here.
