Looting Main Street

This is a riveting article from the Rolling Stone Magazine explaining how the nation's biggest banks are ripping off American cities with the same predatory deals that brought down Greece, by Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone, March 31, 2010.

Links between the Calvi affair and Operation Gladio

Licio Gelli is an Italian financier, chiefly known for his role in the Banco Ambrosiano scandal. He was revealed in 1981 as being the Venerable Master of the clandestine Masonic lodge Propaganda Due (P2). David Guyatt claims that there were links between the Calvi affair and Operation Gladio. He claims P2 ran Operation Gladio under the direction of the Italian secret service. Freddy is right about Operation Gladio.

We remember Operation Gladio. That was the European version of Operation Northwoods. Alan Dulles and Lyman Lemnitzer proposed and agreed to Operation Northwoods but Kennedy vetoed it. Dulles was fired and Lemnitzer was reassigned to Europe. He became Supreme Allied Commander in Europe where he took the ideas of Operation Northwoods and but them into practice with Operation Gladio.

There is a long list of bank fraud. When you start connecting the dots a sad pattern emerges. There is even speculation and jokes about Goldman Sachs getting involved with the Vatican bank. Right now it looks a lot like the Fascists ripping us off and collapsing our economy so we can be “liberated” by the Communists just like Poland was. Buyer Beware.

Dank truck outside Tbarz last night

Late last night or rather very early this morning I saw a van with the Dank Energy drink logo all over it parked outside Tbarz. That’s the company Randy Jones brother Trevor is involved with. I wonder how that case is going in the states since Trevor has been indicted and is now a fugitive of justice. Looks like he’s still doing business as usual. They’re using an Aldergrove address now and sell Dank out of Tbarz.

Previously I posted the above picture thinking it was Trevor Jones. Yet someone else claimed it wasn’t him so who is it? He has a connection to that company Trevor and Randy are involved with. They’re recruiting Dank Skanks now. I wonder if that has anything to do with Tbarz or the Hells Angels involvement with prostitution?

There’s more than one Anti Christ

OK this one’s going to be from outer space. Since the subject came up I want to discuss it because I want to follow up on the money laundering allegations of the Vatican bank. Since Pope John Paul the First was murdered and since someone used the Vatican bank to embezzle $1.2 billion from the Banco Ambrosiano which resulted in that banks collapse June 1992, it’s important to look at that. I just want to clarify that as I do so, I’m not attacking the Catholic church, just the criminals who have taken over and are using the Vatican bank for their own criminal purposes.

Ian Paisley was a paid Protestant minister from Northern Ireland who became a politician and was elected to be a Member of Parliament at a time the Parliament of Northern Ireland was very pro British and very anti Catholic. Their slogan was “Ulster Says No” to a united Ireland. They didn’t want to merge with the Republic of Ireland in the south. They wanted to stay part of England instead. That’s basically what the troubles in Northern Ireland were all about. It didn’t really have anything to do with religion. It just so happened that most of the Irish who wanted to be free from England were Catholics and most of the people who wanted to remain part of England were Protestants descended from the plantation. They celebrate King Billy’s bigotry ever year on July 12 commemorating the Dutch Protestant’s invasion of Ireland at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.

Ian Paisley was very anti Catholic. One time he stood up when the Pope was speaking to the European Parliament with a sign calling the Pope the anti Christ and shouted out “I denounce you as the anti Christ.” That was the pot calling the kettle black. Ian Paisley was paid to preach hate and intolerance. He was far more of an anti Christ than the Pope ever was.

I want to address the issue of the anti Christ. Some Protestants can become obsessed with some pretty bizarre ideas about getting swept away by aliens in the Rapture. I’m left scratching my head on that one. This whole obsession with trying to interpret the bible and find THE anti Christ completely misses the point that there is more than one anti Christ. Christ said beware of false prophets because there would be many. They don’t have to be anti Christian to be an anti Christ. They just have to appose what Christ stood for like doing good and promoting justice and fairness. That’s why many Christians like Ian Paisley could in theory be referred to as an anti Christ.

Recently there was another Protestant leader in Northern Ireland that refused to shake the Pope’s hand because he believed the Pope was the anti Christ. That kind of nonsense isn’t just offensive, it’s in opposition to a free republic based on constitutional principles of the freedom of religion. Take the Irish flag for example. The Irish flag is green, white and orange. Green is for Irish Catholics, while Orange is for the Protestant Orange men. White represents peace. It symbolizes Catholics and Protestants living together in peace. Protestant hate mongers from the north burning that flag shouting Ulster says No are in reality opposing peace and Christian principles of a democratic society.

Islam is not anti Christ. Muslims believe Christ was a prophet. Yet radical Muslims can indeed be very anti Christ just like radical Protestants or Catholics can be. We are told they will know we are Christians by our love. Anyone who teaches hate and intolerance could then be considered an anti Christ.

There are a lot of oral traditions in Ireland. Some would say legends. I remember many people in Ireland say to me look at our weather. They say in the last days you won’t be able to tell the seasons one from another. That’s what’s happening know and shows we are in the last days. Whenever they would say this I would just nod and be on my way but then I started thinking. Where on earth does it say that? It doesn’t say that in the bible. Where on earth are all these people getting that from. Perhaps it was from the teachings of Columcille or Saint Patrick. Perhaps some Irish prophets made some of their own predictions like Nostradamus.

Another prediction was that the anti Christ would one day sit in Saint Peters’ chair. When I heard that I again said OK where on earth does it say that because I don’t see any reference to Saint Peter’s chair in the bible. These Irish Catholics were referring to a prophecy that one day the anti Christ would sit in Saint Peter’s chair. That doesn’t mean that Christ never existed. As I said before Christ confronted the religious leaders at the time calling them liars, hypocrites and children of the devil. He wasn’t referring to the Jews. He was referring to anyone who takes over the church for their own personal gain.

Years ago I bought a book called In God’s Name. It was written by a Catholic who tried to expose some of the corruption that resulted in Pope John Paul I’s murder. It started going on about a secret Masonic lodge under the Vatican. I never really got past that part of the book because I didn’t see that as significant. The Catholic church may have a rule about Catholics not being allowed to become Free Masons but Free Masonry doesn’t have a rule about Catholics not being allowed in Free Masonry. To be a member of the craft you just have to have a belief in God. Catholics have their own group called the Knights of Columbus which is basically the same thing.

When “God’s banker” was murdered after the crash of the Banco Ambrosiano, there was talk about his involvement with the P2 Masonic lodge and being murdered because he lost the mob’s money. I personally don’t see that as very likely. Stealing from the mob isn’t something he would do. Stealing for the mob is. I think he was murdered because he was facing charges related to stock in a company owned by Michele Sindona in prison in the US. Sinona was involved with the collapse of Franklin National Bank in the US in 1974. What’s relevant to the rouge P2 lodge is that leaders of the Italian intelligence agencies were members of it. I think Roberto Calvi was murdered because they wanted to cover up the link between him and Michele Sindona which stole from the Banco Ambrosiano and all that implied.

RCMP Act changes will give top Mountie more powers

Vic Toews is announcing changes to the RCMP Act that gives the force greater power to discipline orfire officers who give the force a bad name. I’m trying to bite my tongue and hold back the instinctive cynicism. Vic Toews is about as trustworthy and credible as Peter McKay. Not very.

Vic Toews was the one that pushed a bizarre bill that was drastically over reaching. He had the audacity to say if you oppose the bill you support pedophiles. Then he later admits he never actually read the bill and claimed he was surprised by some of it’s over reaching content permitting warrantless surveillance of someone who has not been suspected of committing a crime.

At first glance, the whole idea of giving any corporation more power to discipline and discharge it’s employees is concerning. Especially when that organization as well as the political party proposing the power grab has been plagued with a longstanding history of abusive bullying within it’s command culture.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson had made an appeal for changes to the RCMP Act in his frustration of dealing with the public disgrace that keeping the Alberta wing nut on strength and transferred him to BC. That officer should have been fired. If he worked in the private industry he would have been fired. Blaming some review board for keeping him on when that was the recommendation given them was rather absurd.

My point is and was then, that no changes to the act were needed to fire that freak. In reality, the RCMP faced legal liability for his past, present and future conduct for not obeying the law and firing him.

The question is, how can we take the Harper government seriously when they say they want to end bullying in the RCMP when they clearly applaud it and endorse it. Harper fires whistle blowers. How do we know he’s not going to take this new power to fire whistle blowers to sweep the problem under the carpet without actually dealing with it?

Nevertheless, one thing in the act that appears to be a step forward is the creation of a CivilianReview and Complaints Commission. This is needed. Even Jim Chu supported such a body in BC. Notwithstanding my distain and mistrust of the Christy Clark government, one thing they did do that was good was create a civilian body to oversea police complaints in British Columbia. It would appear that this new RCMP Act would do the same thing federally which would be a step forward. So let’s hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Right now I’m feeling a little hey Mr. Tambourine man won’t you play a song for me.

Third Alberta Oil Spill in Six Weeks

Yet another oil spill in Alberta. That’s three in the last six weeks and a fourth just over a year ago. That is irresponsible. The many Enbrige pipeline commercials are getting as hypocritical as the HST commercials. I used to think opposing the pipeline was opposing progress and economic prosperity. Now, the pipeline is just irresponsible. They need more shut off values to stop leaks when they happen. The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the largest in history. These economic disasters are getting bigger and bigger. We’ve supposed to reduce them with more technology. Now greed prevents us from doing so.

The latest spill occurred earlier this week in northeastern Alberta near the town of Elk Point, where Enbridge confirmed a spill of about 230,000 litres through its pumping station on the Athabasca pipeline.

The biggest incident was earlier this month near Red Deer and Sundre in central Alberta, where 475,000 litres of oil from Plains Midstream Canada leaked, some of it spilling into the Red Deer River. In May, a Pace Energy Oil and Gas oil leak near Rainbow Lake in the northwest of the province spilled about 5,000 barrels.

Harvey Bracken: When a man kills a woman

A Surrey man who choked his girl-friend to death, wrapped her body in plastic and dumped it near a North Vancouver park has been sentenced to four years in prison. This tragic case shows us two things: What a disgusting farce our judicial system has become and what a horrific scourge crack cocaine is in our communities.

A four year sentence for committing murder is disgusting. Bracken, who was arrested in February 2011, received credit for 16 months pre-sentence custody, reducing his effective sentence to two years and eight months. Now that two and a half year sentence will be reduced by two thirds for mandatory statutory release. Gregory Fitch and society are both culpable in this heart wrenching injustice. The worth of a soul is a lot more than four years for murder. A daughter, a mother, a human being.

It was claimed in court that after a three day crack binge the couple got in an argument. Bracken’s lawyer claimed Ferguson wanted Bracken to get more cocaine and he refused. That is so offensive it is absurd. That’s what the murderer claims. Yeah right. Kinda like how Jack Woodruff claimed he murdered his girlfriend in self defence. Pretty outrageous to make that ridiculous claim when the victim is dead and can’t testify.

The absurd domestic violence continues. Hang down your head Tom Dooley has become smile Tom Dooley, it’s your lucky day. There is no justice here. You’re free to go. Stephen Harper only cares about possession of pot. He doesn’t care about murder.

12 problems with our justice system

Eldriegson Delalcazar, when a man hits a woman…

Eldriegson Delalcazar is back in the news. He’s in court over an assault that occurred in Denny’s back on Oct. 17, 2010. Eldriegson, his brother Jefferson, Kevin Baker and one other guy beat up , Jefferson’s ex girlfriend and two guys she was sitting with that she and Kevin Baker’s girlfriend had met that night at a club. So here’s the math. Four on two and they beat up the ex girlfriend just because. That is messed up. Although video footage shows four men approach the table Kevin Baker claims he left right away and didn’t participate in the assault.

Eldriegson has a violent history. When he was younger he led a mob of belligerent youth and threatened to bitch slab a man’s wife on Oct 12, 2001. Eight days later one of the punks in Eldriegson’s mob named Harry Hiscock along with a mob of punks swarmed a guy named Nicholas Chow Johnson and beat him so bad he's now a paraplegic.

Fighting is one thing, swarming is another. There’s nothing noble in swarming. Hitting a girl is worse. It reflects a poor self image. So Eldriegson, when a man loves a woman, does he hit her? When she says’ she’s had enough, is it Ok to hit her? Is it OK to hit another mans wife just because you’re a punk with a mob of pricks? I submit that it’s not OK. Swarming is not OK. Beating any woman including your ex is not OK. God help your beautiful new bride when the honeymoon period is over.

Jefferson was charged with possession of an undisclosed amount of cocaine for the purposes of trafficking. He plead guilty to assaulting and criminally harassing his former girlfriend Magdalayna Moraitis. He grabbed her by the hair, threw her to the floor and punched the back of her head. People in the restaurant pulled Delalcazar off her.

The first picture is of Eldriegson sitting down in the front, his brother Jefferson, the smaller guy above him (small guys beat girls) and Kevin Baker on the right. All three accused in the beat up your ex at Denny’s swarming. Get this, the guy with the pudgy face on the left is Ali Ziaee. A friend of Ziggy Matheson.



In this picture we see Ziggy on the left with Ali in the middle. Ali looks very similar to the north Van guy recently shot in Oshawa but it’s a different guy. Ali’s father, Kourosh Ziaee, is a convicted money launderer.

In 2002 U.S. Secret Service agents in Jacksonville unraveled an international money laundering scheme in which banks were bilked of more than $1 million, including $250,000 in Jacksonville.

The scheme involved stolen and forged Canadian checks that were cashed throughout the United States, including in Jacksonville, Tampa, and Louisville, Ky. The banks defrauded in Jacksonville were the Educational Community Credit Union, First Union and the Bank of America. They were all federally insured.

Organizers used middlemen to recruit people to open bank accounts and deposit the checks. The funds were withdrawn before the banks learned the checks were stolen, and the money was given to those involved. The scheme was made easy because banks in the United States don't place extended holds on international checks from Canada like other countries, court records said.

Eidem told authorities Ziaee had Canadian citizenship and had connections in Italy, Turkey and Iran, records said. The agents learned that Ziaee had been arrested in 1996 on similar fraud charges in St. Louis and served prison time. The length of his sentence was unavailable.

Agents recovered some of the checks, with Ziaee's fingerprints on them, court records said. They learned at least some of the money was laundered through the Italian bank account of a corporation Ziaee set up in Panama, records said. An Italian bank connected to a company they set up in Panama. Holy crack pipes batman – déjà vu!

Durham police officer busted in drug sweep

Durham Region dot com is reporting arrested after a raid on Sarasota Crescent in Oshawa Tuesday night was Tara Kramp, 38, a constable with Durham police since 1998. She is charged with trafficking, conspiracy to traffic, attempt to obstruct justice, possession of stolen property, fraud, and breach of trust. She claims she was a "beautiful but deadly" personal trainer and police officer who "lives her life on the edge as a homicide and narcotics officer."

A narcotics officer in Oshawa charged with trafficking. Isn’t that special. Oshawa is where that UN affiliate from North Van was just shot. Who controls the cocaine in Oshawa again? I wonder... Jeremy RUSSELL, Gailanne DUVALE, Roderick AYRE, Stephen FROST and Keith HATCH are charged with trafficking and robbery related offenses.

Roberto Calvi and the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano

We’ve talked about how the Vatican Bank has been recently accused of laundering money for la Cosa Nostra. We’ve expressed the concern that money laundering usually results in crashed banks due to investment fraud. We’ve also just talked about how Rakesh Saxena embezzled $80 million and crashed the Bangkok Bank of Commerce which resulted in the Asian financial crisis in 1997.

Now let’s look at a cold case also in the news that talks about how the Vatican bank was accused of crashing another bank through embezzlement. It involved the murder of Roberto Calvi who was referred to as God’s banker because of his ties to the Vatican Bank. Roberto Calvi was the chairman of Italy's second largest private bank, Banco Ambrosiano.

Banco Ambrosiano collapsed in June 1982 following the discovery of debts of between 700 million and 1.5 billion US dollars. Much of the money had been siphoned off via the Vatican Bank (strictly named the Istituto per le Opere Religiose or Institute for Works of Religion), which was Banco Ambrosiano's main shareholder. In 1984, the Vatican Bank agreed to pay US$224 million to the 120 creditors of the failed Banco Ambrosiano as a “recognition of moral involvement” in the bank's collapse.

Much of the 700 million to 1.5 billion US dollars had been siphoned off from Banco Ambrosiano via the Vatican Bank. Follow the money. The Vatican bank or Institute for Works of Religion, is the same bank Ettore Gotti Tedeschi was just fired from and has now been accused of laundering money for the mob.

Two concerns arise. First we have the accusation that the Vatican Bank is laundering money for the mob. The other concern is that Banco Ambrosiano collapsed because someone stole over $700 million by siphoning it off through the Vatican bank.

Banco Ambrosiano was owed huge sums of money by Panamanian shell companies involved with the Vatican Bank. Before his murder, Calvi was facing fraud charges related to stock in a company owned by Michele Sindona in prison in the US. Sinona was involved with the collapse of Franklin National Bank in the US in 1974. Carlo Calvi, the son of Roberto Calvi is also a banker in Montreal.
