BC Courts order government to revisit judges’ pay raise



The BC courts have established a new precedent in judicial absurdity. Justice Malcolm Macaulay just ordered the provincial government to reconsider its decision to deny pay raises to 146 provincial court judges. Nobody likes not getting a pay raise and it’s bad enough the government legislates their own wage. Yet the courts ordering the government to give them a raise is absurd.

Whenever a judge makes a decision or creates an order, they have to cite a law or statue that they are basing their order on and provide case law or jurisprudence to support their interpretation of that law or statue.

I’ve already talked about how we tend to totally distort the charter of rights and apply it to things it was never intended to apply to. This is another example of that. Getting a pay raise is nice but it certainly isn’t a charter right.

Macaulay said in standing by its "net-zero" man-date for government employees, the government diverted its attention from the need to abide by constitutional requirements in setting pay for judges. Constitution requirement? What on earth is that crack head on about? The Constitution Acts, 1867 to 1982 simply states judges' salaries shall be fixed and provided by the Parliament of Canada. That means the government makes the decision and has the final say as to what the salary is.

Since this new order is null and void and is basically a worthless piece of paper, it does tell us one thing: we have a problem that needs to be changed. The arrogance of the BC court judges and their continued over stepping of their judicial parameters means they need to be publically accountable.

In the United States the judges are publically accountable because they are elected. If a judge starts making stupid decisions the public just elect another judge. We currently have no provision in place to make our judges accountable in Canada. As we have seen, we are powerless to get rid of bad judges like Peter Leask. This clearly needs to change.

Free Greg Domey - Not!



OK now I’m really going to lose it. Just as I was going to make a new podcast about the Big House Crew and that ridiculous campaign to Free Deli, I find an even more absurd campaign to free another crack dealer named Greg Domey.



Greg Domey is the former president of the Salem Massachusetts Hells Angels. He’s also the former East Coast president of the Hells Angels. Here we see him in a photo with Sonny Barger on the Big House Crew memorial. The guy isn’t a freaking political prisoner like Nelson Mandela or Bobby Sands. The guy is in jail for selling crack and crystal meth as well as for using extreme violence to gain control of that illicit drug trade.



People posing in front of the Christmas tree wearing Free Greg T Shirts is the epitome of stupidity. In the first photo he’s smiling with a ball peen hammer. That’s what they use to beat rival drug dealers to death with. Wearing a Free Greg shirt is like wearing an I love Charles Manson shirt.

Here’s the link to my new podcast about the Big House Crew. Don’t talk to me about Irish history. You don’t know fuck all about Irish history. Supporting these crack dealers and these crystal meth dealers is like pissing on Bobby Sands grave. In West Belfast the IRA will shoot crack dealers dead on sight. Idiots.

Hells Angels selling drugs in Massachusetts



Jeffrey Dillon, president of the Sidewinders, a Hell's Angels puppet group in Massachusetts, has been charged with various firearm offenses and possession of cocaine with the purpose of trafficking.

John R. Bartolomeo, of East Boston, was sentenced to a 35-year federal prison sentence for the killing a rival motorcycle gang member and for distributing cocaine and methamphetamine.

During the initial phase of the investigation, a cooperating individual made a series of undercover methamphetamine purchases directly from Gregory Domey, the then president of the Salem Chapter of the Hells Angels. After being introduced to Domey and Bartolomeo, the DEA Special Agent made a number of large methamphetamine and cocaine purchases from members of the Hells Angels and their associates.

This isn’t just a matter of killing someone from a rival biker gang. It’s a matter of killing a rival drug dealer to gain control of the drug trade. A Southern California professor who is the president of the Fresno California Devil’s Disciples chapter has been accused of trafficking meth. During a raid at his Highland home, investigators seized more than a pound of meth, guns, body armor, and leather biker vests.

Gregory Domey, former president of the Salem Chapter of the Hells Angels, and former East Coast President of the organization pled guilty today to multiple drug charges and was sentenced to 20 years in prison under the "Drug Kingpin" statute.

According to court records, Domey and his codefendants sold cocaine and methamphetamine, from various locations including their Hells Angels Club House headquarters in Lynn, which was protected by members who served as armed guards and by surveillance cameras. Domey and his codefendants sold the drugs to undercover agents and confidential informants on dozens of occasions, many of which were electronically recorded and/or observed by surveillance agents.

Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug which can be as destructive and as addictive as crack cocaine. Commonly known as meth, this drug is spreading from California and has already hit the mid-west. We’re talking about crystal meth. It’s made with Drano. That shit fucks you up. It’s just as bad if not worse than crack. The Hells Angels are bringing crystal meth to Massachusetts.



This isn’t just a few bad members. This was the president of the Salem chapter and former East coast president of the Hells Angles selling meth and the president of a puppet club selling cocaine. That is what they do. That is their purpose for existing. They are drug dealers and should be banned from Sturgis.

I have no problem with someone smoking a blunt and selling some weed. I have a problem with people selling crack and crystal meth and I have a problem with the Hells Angels saying no one is allowed to grow or sell pot but them. That shit just wouldn’t fly if they tried that at Sturgis. Yet that is exactly what they are doing everywhere else. That is why they should be banned from Sturgis.



Let’s not forget Adam Hall, Sergeant at Arms for the Pittsfield, Massachusetts Hells Angels and his brain dead associate with devil horn implants and the number 666 tattooed to his forehead, they’re from Massachusetts. Adam Hall has been accused of forced prostitution. He and his brain dead devil horn implant associate have been accused of murdering a witness against Hall. That is messed up.

Jason Yeo and Calder Collins in PEI



March of this year, a Prince Edward Island man named Calder Ross Collins died in police custody after being arrested for drug smuggling. He had just returned from a vacation to Jamaica and had swallowed two condoms full of cocaine. Cause of death hasn’t been confirmed but it’s possible he had swallowed more than the two condoms of cocaine that possibly burst inside him.



Jason Yeo is what some describe as a major player in PEI. In these photos we see him wearing a gold chain on the right with Calder Collins on the left at a grow in Jamaica. Earlier this month, Jason Yeo was arrested with Kenneth Bradford King and several others in a cocaine network on PEI where cocaine, crack, weapons and cash were seized. This is a picture of Ken (Brady) King:

Kamloops man arrested in Mexico for Drug Trafficking



Kim Bolan is reporting that a man named John Darrell Krokos who was arrested in Mexico last month for drug smuggling and money laundering is from Kamloops. From July 15, 2010 to Sept. 26, 2011, U.S. authorities documented the distribution and sale of more than 220 kilograms of cocaine and almost $4.3 million in profits linked to the gang, the indictment alleges. Twenty members of the Krokos organization are now facing charges in California.

Clearly that is a huge operation. It’s either Hells Angels or UN yet they haven’t named the gang. They just refer to it as Krokos Drug Trafficking Organization. Indeed there have been numerous BC residents executed or arrested in Mexico for drug trafficking. Gordon Kendall and Jeffrey Ivans who were also from Kamloops, were gunned down outside their Puerto Vallarta condo in September 2009. They were connected to the Hells Angels.

John Krokos is facebook friends with Scott Maber from Victoria. Scott Mayer is friends with Jefferson Delalcazar, the guy who beat up his ex at Denny's resturant and Kevin Baker.



Scott Mayber always wears that gold chain ariound his neck and has ties to Kelowna.



In fact Scott Mayber kinda looks like the guy on the left checking out the pool in the picture of John Krokos posing in this photo. John is second from the right in the zebra shorts. The guy that looks like Scott is on the far left facing the other direction.

A Damning Indictment‏



Everyone’s talking about a report on an Enbridge pipeline oil spill in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Tar Sands Oil Spill in Kalamazoo River in Michigan the Most Expensive Onshore Oil Spill in History. The spill was back in 2010 but the report was just released and hit the news. Opponents to the Northern Pipeline are using it as fuel to their campaign to oppose it. Even Christy Clark has expressed concerns about it.

I will come right out sand say I am not opposed to the Northern Pipeline. I am opposed to a reckless and irresponsible abandonment of safety precautions to protect the environment. One would think that as time progresses and we become more technologically advanced and one would hope more civilized so to speak, we would be having less detrimental impact on the environment we live in.

In reality, as time proceeds, the colossal scale of the devastation to the environment keeps growing and growing. The accidents keep getting bigger and bigger and keep doing more and more damage to the environment. It’s not even like spitting in the wind. It’s like pissing in your drinking water. It really isn’t very intelligent.

Somehow I got on an NDP e-mail list. I don’t normally read them because usually every e-mail from every political party asks for money. Yesterday I received an e-mail from the NDP claiming to be from Adrian Dix. It talked about the new report on the Michagan oil spill and raised some very valid concerns:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Tuesday, the US Transportation Safety Board released a report on a 2010 oil spill from an Enbridge pipeline in Kalamazoo, Michigan. For 17 hours, bitumen from the Alberta oil sands poured from the pipe, spilling at least 3.2 million litres of oil with devastating impact.

I wanted to share what the Board's chair said today:

"On that July evening, at about 6 p.m. when many people in Marshall were sitting down to dinner, Enbridge's Line 6B ruptured and began spewing crude oil through a more than six-and-a-half-foot-long fracture.

"For more than 17 hours and over three shifts, the people controlling the pipeline did not respond to the alarms, pressure differentials or even follow one of their own safety procedures established following another catastrophic release in 1991 in Grand Rapids.

"The people of Marshall would finish their dinners, get ready for the week ahead and go to bed. As they slept, and even when they got up on Monday morning, instead of stopping the flow, Enbridge staff twice pumped more oil - about 81 percent of the total release - into the ruptured pipeline.

"It wasn't until late Monday morning - 17 hours and 19 minutes after the rupture - that a worker from a local gas utility found the spill and notified the Enbridge control center. Then, and only then, did the Enbridge staff begin their response and start closing remote valves upstream and downstream of the rupture.

"Learning about Enbridge's poor handling of the rupture, you can't help but think of the Keystone Kops." It's a damning indictment. And it highlights the enormous risks BC would take on if Enbridge is allowed to build the proposed pipeline here in BC and oil tankers are allowed on our north and central coasts.

Adrian Dix

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It then links to a petition to stop the Northern Gateway pipeline. Personally, I am very concerned with the reckless abandonment of safety in the oil company’s pipelines. Personally, I don’t care if Adrian Dix is red, blue, green, pink or purple. He raises some valid points and expresses some valid concerns.

I do think an oil pipeline can be good for the economy but I don’t think it will be worth it, if we recklessly abandon safety measures to protect the environment. Clearly greed equates to irresponsibility. The huge oil spills in Alberta are concerning. We don’t want that in British Columbia.

The recent oil spills in Alberta, we are now hearing, were the result of rusty pipes that the company knowingly failed to perform scheduled maintenance on to save money. Herein lies the inherit problem: greed. Making money isn’t good enough we want to make more and more money at all costs.

The more I hear TV commercials for the Northern Pipeline the more angry I get. Stop spending money trying to brain wash me and start spending some money fixing the huge problems you have created and start spending some money on preventative maintenance. I’m still hearing Harper’s ridiculous attack adds on TV. The more I hear them the more I turn into Smeagol from the Lord of the Rings. Me HATES them. I hate them for the same reason I hated the HST commercials – because they were based on a lie.

Harper goes on and on about how Thomas Mulcair opposes trade agreements that will help the economy. That is such a lie it makes me want to scream every time they say it. TILMA is the prime example. Making it illegal for any level of government, federal, provincial or municipal, to create a law that would inhibit a corporation’s ability to make a profit. That is the devils deal.

Those kind of trade agreements make it illegal for us to require oil companies to clean up their mess or to perform preventative maintenance. Those kind of trade agreements are totally irresponsible and are treasonous because they give up our sovereignty which is something the conservatives are *supposed* to protect.

Enbridge is based in Houston? Like that’s not suspicious. I don't support that. Isn’t there a Canadian company that can do the Canadian pipeline? How about we build an oil pipeline but we give the contract to someone else? Do you think if we gave the contract to Bridas, we would be invaded like Afghanistan was? I wonder…

Council divided over harm reduction



Now that Abbotsford has gangs and drugs, extremists want to continue to profit from that misery by trying to con them into embracing East Vancouver style “Harm Reduction” which is anything but.

Needle exchanges used to be exchanges. You hand in a dirty needle and get a clean needle in exchange. Victoria residents began to complain when that idea was twisted and they just started handing out free needles. The number of used needles that ended up on their property or on school grounds increases considerably.

Even in the article it talks about a guy who is addicted to heroin but doesn’t inject it, smokes it. He grabs 20 needles for his friends without handing in any dirty needles. Does he then sell them? Where do you think those needles end up?

Remember that tragic case of the girl who overdosed at the Vancouver Occupy site? She was given a clean needle to kill herself courtesy of Coast “Health” Harm Reduction. That is just plain wrong. Once again, I’m not the only person that has concerns about needle exchanges and expanding the criminally twisted harm reduction program to Abbotsford. Two other concerned citizens wrote in to the Vancouver Province:

Stop helping addicts use drugs

The thought of needle exchanges in our cities just makes my blood boil. Let the drug addicts take care of themselves. Why should we pay for their dirty habits? Next you’ll be giving prostitutes cellphones to “keep them safe’’ on our tab. Most people can barely get by and we are sick of paying for everyone else. Say “no” to needle exchanges. Move the drug addicts out to the wilderness.

Elizabeth Gillis, Abbotsford

Pick life!

First of all, Vancouver and Surrey were not forced to deal with addicts from other towns; they welcomed them by handing out needles, etc. How much longer is the government going to make it easy for addicts? It’s very simple: make using easy for addicts or stand firm and say, “No!” It is as easy as yes or no, life or death. You pick. I’m proud to be a recovering addict and picking life.

Kiekie Roski, Abbotsford

Harper's abuses of democracy threaten liberty



Very interesting editorial in today’s Vancouver Province entitled “Harper's abuses of democracy threaten liberty.” Michael Den Tandt gives an interesting analogy and comes up with a valid and stirring conclusion. Growing up Conservative, I was always told it wasn’t the government’s job to find jobs for people. I was told it was the government’s job to protect liberty and let a free market create jobs for people.

Interestingly enough, Michael Den Tandt talks about Trudeau’s long reign as Prime minister of Canada and points out that Trudeau was less concerned with the economy and more concerned with protecting liberty. Somewhat ironic when Harper’s Mulroneyism claims the exact opposite. They hate Trudeau. They say he was a Commie that put us in debt and destroyed our country.

Somewhat ironic when they are digging an obscene debt deeper than Trudeau ever imagined with their bank bail out and insider trading jets. Somewhat ironic when Harpers Neo Cons claim to fight for democracy and liberty when their actions are the exact opposite.

Although my family never voted Liberal, Trudeau was always a respected leader. He was a political leader as opposed to a dirty politician like Harper and his slimy band of evil doers. We were told that Trudeau’s tradition of French Common law where the government created jobs for the public was bad and wrong. Yet in retrospect I think finding jobs for the public was a lot better than robbing taxpayers by giving their taxes to pay for bank fraud.

During the Occupy movement I remember a sign that said “We have privatized gains and socialized losses. That is not Capitalism.” Harpers obsession with big corporations creating monopolies is not a free marker either. A free market means small business has just as much a chance as the next guy to create a company and profit from an idea.

Trudeau gave us the Charter of Rights. Harper is eroding it. Robocalls, warrantless surveillance. Trade agreements that give up democratic sovereignty. Over burdening our prisons and judicial system with nonviolent crime preventing us from dealing with violent crime. Cutting our military and coast guard to pay for insider trading. It’s all one big nightmare really. Is there hope in Trudeau Jr? I don’t know but I do know there is no hope in Harper’s nightmare.

Michael Den Tandt quotes Trudeau Sr. when he was a cutting journalist and said: "It is a serious matter when the government attacks our inalienable rights, whether by laws or by executive action," he wrote. "it is still more serious when citizens, through cowardice or stupidity, relinquish their rights even when not required by law to do so."

I totally agree. We need to be more concerned with liberty than with economics. We need to create a free market and let that free market take care of itself.

When a judge fails justice



When a judge fails to uphold justice, they’re like salt that has lost it’s flavor. Good for nothing. Geoffrey Gaul was appointed to the BC Supreme Court in 2008. His recent acquittal of Eldriegson Lopez Delalcazar clearly shows he has no concept of justice whatsoever and should not be sitting on the bench.

Yesterday, simpatico news highlighted a moving video about domestic violence that went viral. The bottom line is that these moving videos mean nothing when we show by our actions that we really don’t care about domestic violence. The just of the video was a woman using make up to hide her bruises from being in an abusive relationship. Hard to believe would actually happen in today’s world. Yet decisions like Geoffrey Gaul’s shows why.

How did you get those bruises? I fell down the stairs. Why would anyone hide that? Shame, guilt, fear. No one starts a relationship wanting to be assaulted. For those who are, fear is a real factor in their imprisonment. Fear that a police officer won’t believe them. Fear that a broken judicial system won’t protect them. Fear that if they say anything they will be hurt worse or even killed. Which sadly enough is often the case.

Suffice it to say most women in abusive relationships are afraid to press charges or testify in court. In the Delalcazar case we have grown men afraid to testify. Dixon testified that he was sitting in a booth at the back of the restaurant when he caught a glimpse of four men walking in. Suddenly, he was punched in the face, pulled from the booth and pushed to the ground. He testified that when he was on the ground, he covered his head and did not see the people who were kicking and punching him.

Yet the surveillance video showed that it was Eldriegson, his brother Jefferson, Kevin Baker and one other unidentified male who approached the booth. After the fight Jefferson was seen sitting on top of his ex girlfriend hitting her and had to be pulled off her. The fight was about Kevin’s girlfriend and Jefferson’s ex girlfriend were sitting at Denny’s restaurant with two guys they met that night at a club. The four guys jumped the two guys and Jefferson kicked the crap out of his ex.

Acquitting Eldriegson because the witnesses and even the men who were assaulted were afraid to name him was wrong. The judge agreed an assault occurred. The video showed four men approaching the table. To some extent witnesses being afraid to name names and point the final finger does to some extant tie the judges hands but clearly the evidence does speak for itself. Gaul failed to uphold natural justice. Sadly, he might well be one of our better judges which shows the seriousness and the depth of our judicial vacuum,. I am now convinced that judges should be elected in BC just like they are in the United States. Judges not being accountable just isn’t working.

Ex-border guard guilty in coke-smuggling case



Two more local drug stories to catch up on. The first is that ex border guard case who was caught letting people smuggle 208 kilos of cocaine across the border. Baljinder Singh Kandola was found to have been a part of a conspiracy along with his co-accused, Shminder Singh Johal, of running drugs through the Pacific Highway crossing from May 2006 to October 2007.

Someone claimed it was part of the Bassi Virk case but I can’t find the connection. If someone out there can, please send a link. The second case will have to wait a day. I know the Hells Angels are so excited about the dirt on the Pickton cop I’ll give them one more day of their glory before I rain on their parade. Again.
