Attack Ads paid for with Tax dollars

Monday the Vancouver Province printed several articles about how Christy Clark’s Liberals used taxpayer resources to make an attack Adrian Dix web site. Numerous people have written in expressing their disgust as have numerous editorials been written. One of which raises a point I would like to address. The B.C. Liberal Party is being asked to cut a cheque to taxpayers and submit itself to an independent audit after it was revealed this week that employees in the legislature used taxpayer-funded resources to craft an anti-NDP attack website.

There are three issues on the table: Attack ads, Attack ads paid for with tax dollars, and paying back tax dollars misappropriated for political partisanship. First let me address the issue of attack ads. Attack ads used to be unpopular and unCanadian. If someone used an attack ad that was like shooting themselves in the foot because Canadians didn’t have the time of day for them and it would turn voters off the party making the attacks. My point is there are three types of attack ads: true allegations, false allegations and down right nasty.

We know Kash Heed was caught putting out a down right nasty attack ad on the NDP during his campaign for the BC Liberals. Someone who worked for the federal NDP were caught making a fake twitter account called VivkiLeaks that started leaking out info from Conservative MP Vick Towes divorce. Everyone said that crossed the line. Personally I think voters have a right to known if their “Christian” candidate had an affair and fathered a child with a younger woman. I personally see that as relevant. All the mudslinging in custody battles isn’t relevant but if that fact is true, then it’s true and voters have a right to know. If he was in the US military, he’d be facing charges.

Likewise the attack ad of Adrian Dix. Were the accusations true or false? The whole concept of “We can’t afford Dix” is something the Harper government is doing for Thomas Mulcair. It’s irritating because in Harper’s case it is absolutely false and is playing on a very old and outdated stereotype that he has broken.

In the past we were told the left likes to tax and spend while the right likes to balance the budget and reduce taxes. Brian Mulroney’s GST changed all that and Stephen Harper’s HST is even worse. Millions of dollars for a fleet of insider trading jets that don’t work in the arctic and billions on the banks that didn’t need a bail out. Canadians can’t afford that kind of pork barrel politics. The first aspect of the attack ads that I take offense to is that they are false.

The second aspect of the attack ads that I take offense to is them being paid for with tax dollars. It’s pretty clear that both Stephen Harper and Christy Clark are using tax dollars to promote their political party. No doubt it’s their same Pee Wee Herman advisor’s brainstorm. Someone please buy that guy a new tie.

Using tax dollars to promote your political party is very offensive and very big brother. Right now Harper has two sets of ads. One set is a BS propaganda campaign about how great his party is for the environment and the oil sands when in reality his party has done the exact opposite. These ads are clearly paid for with tax dollars which is inherently wrong.

Yet there is another set of attack ads that are ongoing. They are becoming very invasive and are everywhere. When I get woken up by a Harper attack add on my clock radio, then I take great offense to that obsessive big brother paranoia. The question is, who are paying for Harper’s attack ads. I would assume that is coming out of their political party’s contributions. Again, attack ads are bad enough but when they are flooding the airwaves when there is no election on, that is offensive. There needs to be a financial disclosure of how much these cost to make sure they fall under election guidelines. They are allowed a budget during an election. These attack ads are a part of that budget.

All this brings us back to political parties paying back taxpayers when they have misappropriated tax dollars for political purposes. Returning those tax dollars is essential as is paying a fine to act as a deterrent. Without a fine there is no deterrent. Let’s get taxpayers to pay for our ads. Worse case scenario is we will have to pay it back if we get caught. That is why a fine is in order.

Clearly the most important and the most significant misappropriation of tax dollars is when Brian Mulroney committed perjury and lied about his relationship with Karl Heinz Schreiber in the Aribus scandal when he sued the government for slander and thereby fraudulently obtained an out of court settlement. Number one: that scoundrel should be in jail. Number two: that scoundrel should pay back the 2.1 million tax dollars he fraudulently stole from Canadian taxpayers. This still needs to be addressed.

Game-changer at Main & Hastings

The Vancouver Province ran an article today about another development project that includes low income and social housing with private condos. As I’ve said before, these are ideal. Again local extremists complain that the development project will chase away addicts. I’m sorry if I find that amusing but most people think getting the drug addicts out of the neighborhood is a good thing. If a new development project will bring working people into East Van and get rid of all the drug addicts, than that is a good thing.

I’m not talking about crushing the homeless. This project includes spaces for low income as well as social housing. So that would mean 97 more low income units than what currently exists in that location. And get this: they are low income units in a nice building not a disgusting slum that is a health hazard like the American hotel were Tony Terezakis was beating the life out of drug addicts who owed him money.

The builder refers to the project as a game changer and I agree. This is what we need. Usually it’s hard to convince business to move into bad areas. Now they are doing it all on their own, they’re included low income housing and we have extremists still complain. They must be the ones selling drugs out of Vandu. Drug dealers oppose the project because it will reduce their business.

Did you know there is some magnificent stained glass at the Carnegie centre? I noticed it one day wading through the drug dealers on East Hastings. It’s low, right about the street level. Turns out on the inside there’s a marble swirling staircase and a magnificent stained glass portrait of Milton, Shakespeare and Spenser. Everyone should be able to see the magnificent history the Carnegie Centre has to offer. Right now all the drug dealers are preventing the general public from seeing it. That isn’t right. The Institute for Stained Glass Canada has documented it on their web site.

Surrey’s Casino Megatropolis

Residents expressed concerns at a Town Hall meeting about a proposed casino Megatropolis in South Surrey. No doubt those concerns will once again fall on deaf ears. Personally I am totally opposed to the project. BC has a gang war driven by the drug trade that is known to launder drug money through casinos. Building a drug money laundering megatropolis in Surrey is in my opinion absolutely insane.

I am opposed to the social problems gambling creates. I know of people who have lost their homes and their marriages from gambling problems. I am astounded how people can have a gambling problem with just slot machines. I can understand roulette wheels where people can lose an insane amount of money in a short period of time but slot machines? I just don’t get it. People who sit in front of slot machines all day and spend their entire pay cheques. Why on earth would people do that? Yet they do. It’s an addiction. It’s a problem. It’s something we shouldn’t support.

As a parent sitting on committees fund raising for dry grad, I know how hard it is for concerned parents to stand up and say I’m not comfortable with supporting a casino night for dry grad. They make so much money. People respond with yeah how many car washes are you willing to do to make up that kind of money? It is a real temptation. That doesn’t make it right.

Aside from my concern about not wanting to support gambling addictions which are very real and do exist, I am deeply concerned about supporting the gangs laundering drug money. Don’t tell me it doesn’t happen because it does. Don’t tell me you’ll take steps to prevent that from happening because you already haven’t.

Yet another flaming concern that was brought to my attention today was Gateway Casino’s $1.5 billion debt restructuring. How does a company that owns 9 successful casinos in BC and Alberta get $1.5 billion in debt? That is a flaming red flag. How did that happen? Who stole that money and where did it go? Just like with these bank collapses, banks don’t collapse all by themselves. Someone has to commit investment fraud and steal from them for them to collapse, usually someone who owns the bank.

So again I ask, how did Gateway Casinos get $1.5 billion in debt? Before we let them build a Casino Megatropolis that will become a haven for organized crime we need to answer that question. Don’t tell me it was a sluggish economy. I don’t believe that. Even when jobs are short people still gamble and people still spend money on drugs. Even more so when jobs are tight. So where did this $1.5 billion debt come from?

Recently we heard news about how the HSBC was caught laundering money for the Mexican drug cartels. So what happened? Absolutely nothing. It’s business as usual. Why? Because people want to invest in companies that launder drug money. They think those are good investments. They don’t realize that people who sell drugs are dishonest. When they launder drug money they are consumed with greed and always accompany that with investment fraud which steals from and crashes banks. We saw that at BCCI. We saw that at Banco Ambrosiano. We saw that at Nugan Hand bank in Australia. It keeps happening over and over again and we just aren’t getting it.

Catherine Austin Fitts refers to it as the tapeworm economy. It sucks the life out of the economy just like a tapeworm sucks the life out of it’s host. Gateway Casino’s $1.5 billion debt restructuring with Catalyst Capital Group needs to be examined before we create an organized crime megatropolis in Surrey.

The Calabrians and the Ndrangheta

A lot of media outlets are talking about the Ndrangheta. They are the Calabrians from the toe of Italy’s boot. They’re not just in Toronto, they are expanding into the UK and Ireland. One outlet refers to them as Italy’s most powerful crime group. Another describes them as more powerful than the Mafia.

Anti-mafia activist Rosy Canale used to own a restaurant and disco in the region’s biggest city, Reggio Calabria, and the Ndrangheta wanted to push drugs there. "I was to turn a blind eye," she said, speaking by telephone from an undisclosed location in the US. "If I had done so, I’d doubtless still be in Reggio Calabria, driving round in a brand-new Ferrari."

Instead, she refused. And the Ndrangheta took its revenge. Canale was kicked and pistol-whipped almost to death. "Nearly all my teeth were broken. So was my upper jawbone. They broke my collarbone, several ribs and a leg. It was eight months before I left hospital. The doctors had to reconstruct my mouth and for a long time I had to be fed through a tube. At one point, my weight dropped to 39kg," she recalled.

After being discharged, Canale left for Rome and the start of three years of rehabilitation. "I needed to learn to speak again because my tongue had also been damaged," she said. "Even today, I can’t run, though I can walk. And my right hand was so badly injured that I can’t play the piano any longer. This is the price I paid for being an honest person."

"In February, some men came to my parent’s; home in Rome posing as postmen. They said they had a letter. My mother opened the door and they pushed past her. They told her that, if I published my book, they would cut me into pieces and feed me to the pigs. A book creates awareness," added Canale. "And it remains."

The Calabrians couldn’t afford a horse’s head so they beat up a girl and used a rabbit’s head instead. I’m still having a hard time accepting that these guys are more powerful than the Sicilians. The Calabrians keep killing each other. They have no concept of loyalty at all.

The Return of GSP

George St-Pierre won a unanimous decision in his come back fight last night with Carlos Condit after his knee surgery. GSP’s win will likely mean a super fight with Brazilian Anderson Silva. GSP said “I need to take some vacation and think about it." He might give Nick Diaz a shot first.

Daiz seems to be a bit of a mouthy bitch like Tito. CSP has way more class. Yet Condit was clearly groomed for his come back. A stand up fighter without ground skills who wasn’t as strong at stand up as GSP. GSP has ground skills but he’d have a serious challenge with Anderson Silva. Ya gotta respect the Brazilians ground fighting. They wrote the book on ground fighting.GSP is still the hometown favorite.

The War in Gaza

OK I’m going to have to weigh in here. The tensions in Gaza are spilling over to protests in Canada and it behooves us to see the insanity for what it is. I am the first one to admit that Israel is not always right. I am the first one to admit that I am not comfortable giving Israel or anyone else for that matter, a blank cheque of endorsement. Yet this time, I agree with Stephen Harper’s position on Israel. Which doesn’t mean I don’t still have serious concerns about Harper handing over our oil rights to Communist China and signing trade agreements that gives up our sovereignty because I do. What it does means is that although no two people agree on every political issue, no two people disagree on every issue either.

Let’s take a step back to the previous violence in Gaza and look at the wrong that was done by both sides. Gaza says we want to be free. We want to be independent from Israel. Israel says, OK. They pull out and let Gaza have more control of their sovereignty. So what does Gaza do as soon as Israel pulls out? They start firing rockets into Israel at random. That was crazy.

I thought it was absurd how some Canadian trade unions were speaking out against Israel and denouncing a wall they built to protect themselves from rocket attacks demanding the wall be taken down. Those Canadians are crazy. They have no right to make such an absurd claim. If someone was firing rockets at me, I’d build a wall to protect myself too. That was the least aggressive and most peaceful solution conceivable.

So Israel pulls out of Gaza and Gaza responds by firing rockets into Israel. Israel then launches military strikes at points in Gaza where the rockets are being fired from. Fair enough. Israel even called in advance giving Gaza warning about a military strike in a rocket launching area. So the nutbars in Gaza then send in crazed woman screaming like they belong in an institution rushing to where Israel said they were going to strike wanting to be a martyr for the cause so Gaza could tell the world Israel was killing civilians. Not only was that crazy, it was dishonest.

I do think Israel using white phosphorous on civilians in Gaza that it bought from the US was extreme and over board. Yet they did have a right to protect themselves and strike at militant areas that were firing rockets into Israel. That’s a given. Nutbars rushing into the areas to increase civilian casualties to gain public sympathy was pure insanity and complete dishonesty.

The very fact that Gaza keeps firing rockets into Israel shows why Israel needs to maintain a naval blockade against Gaza. Not against food or medical supplies but against arms that they will clearly use against Israel.

Let us remember that Gaza is different from the rest of Palestine. The residents of Gaza are not the original inhabitants of Gaza. The Philistines were. The Philistines were conquered by Egypt under king Rames and carried away as slaves. No doubt there are many people and many families in Gaza that are normal people who just want a normal life. Yet there are many insane wackos that want to destroy Israel at any cost and play the victim to gain public sympathy as they do so. They don’t have my support.

Perhaps Gaza should be given back to Egypt. Gaza is clearly not mature enough to run themselves.

December is Gary Webb Appreciation month

December 10th is the, correct that, eighth anniversary of the death of Garry Webb. Movember may well be grow a stache for prostate cancer research but this December I want to remember Gary Webb and outline the most profound contribution he made to investigative journalism and the absurd opposition he faced. His memory will continue and so will the story they tried to bury.

When Catherine Austin Fitts read about the Gary Webb story she said something about it rang true. She had worked in the Bush Administration, she had seen how the disinformation campaign works to discredit a source. She referred to them as attack poodles that would flood the internet and media with disinformation to hide or bury a story that may be damaging to them.

Gary Webb doesn’t strike me as a conspiracy theorist. He was an award winning investigative journalist. He was clear and concise and backed everything he said up with facts. Not only do I want to emphasize what Gary Webb revealed, but I also want to emphasize the consistent disinformation campaign that sought not only to bury that story but any like unto it.

Another story they tried to bury was Judge Bonner’s claim that when he was a DEA agent, the CIA smuggled a plane loaded with a ton of cocaine into the United States which ended up on the street. Over and over again the agency passionately denied it. Judge Bonner stood firm. He even went on 60 minutes and documented everything. When confronted with the facts, the CIA finally admitted he was right but then spun it by claiming it was the only time and it was a mistake. They were trying to catch a drug trafficking ring. Only just like in Operation Fast and Furious, they made absolutely no attempt whatsoever to track the drugs and make any arrests. We also know it wasn’t the first or the last time they were caught trafficking drugs in Military aircraft.

Since I am passionate about getting crack and crystal meth off the streets and the resulting gang war that affects all of us, examining the past and present history of the CIAs drug trafficking network is a fundamental part of that. So if you don’t like conspiracies, then take the month off and don’t read my blog during the month of December. It’ll make you go blind. I’m really tired of people repeatedly saying you’re stupid. You’re crazy. You can’t say that. That’s just a wacko conspiracy theory. It is not. It is well documented and is something any real patriot must examine.

I can say whatever I want. If I want to talk about aliens and UFOs, I can. Obviously, that’s not my thing and I don’t have the time of day for that. Yet drugs and the gang war is and I will talk about that. What I will not do is listen to the same people tell me over and over again how stupid I am and how I can’t talk about those things. There are a lot of things I don’t know. I don’t claim to be an expert on anything. Yet I wasn’t born yesterday and I am not stupid. It’s not that my frail self image will crumble with a few insults. It’s just that I’m not going to listen to that abuse any more. So if you post a comment saying how stupid I am and how I’m not allowed to talk about a certain topic, don’t be surprised when that comment isn’t approved. I have a full time job and do the web site and blog on the side. I’m not going to waste my days away sitting on my ass arguing with trolls. I need time away to get out and enjoy the outdoors. That’s what I am.

So, a toast to Gary Webb and the story they tried to bury but just wouldn’t die. Simply because history repeats itself and they keep getting caught doing the same thing over and over again. If we want to deal with the gang war and the cocaine on our streets, we need to deal with the CIAs drug trafficking network. Fighting Hitler and fighting Stalin as important as that is, is in vain if we do not fight that same enemy from within. The question we need to face is if the CIA has lied about years of drug trafficking, what else have they lied about? If they are capable of poisoning their own people to raise money, what else are they capable of? A true patriot will examine that. A traitor will not.

The Legalization of Pot

The second thought I wanted to mention was all this frenzy about the legalization of pot now that Washington and Colorado said yes. California I might add, said no. To me it’s kinda like Gay pride. What two consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. Yet parading around half naked in public with whips and chains handing out free condoms isn’t really a family friendly event.

If someone wants to smoke a blunt in private that’s their business. Yet parading around in public flaunting it and forcing others to smell it and inhale all that second hand smoke gets carried away. I’ll be the first one to admit that I don’t support mandatory minimum sentences for smoking pot. Nor do I think sending people to jail for smoking pot is productive. Yet we know what human nature is like. We know how people get carried away on 420. I don’t support the legalization of pot. I support the decriminalization of pot. There’s a big difference.

Recently there was a headline in the paper about how a pot advocate won the lottery and has committed to spend a portion of his winnings on legalizing pot in Canada. I find it somewhat amusing that all of a sudden they are referred to as pot advocates. Back in the day we called them stoners. People who smoked pot all the time and were basically burn outs. Society didn’t look up to them back then. Times have changed.

The Separation between Church and State

I have two moral thoughts before catching up on some biker news back east. The first involves the separation of church and state. Someone brought this to my attention on facebook and I’m astounded it’s even being considered. In Riverside, California there’s a popular hiking trail on Mount Rubidoux.

Mount Rubidoux is a public park beloved by the community and has had a cross on its top since 1907. It is home to what locals say is the longest-running outdoor Easter sunrise service, which began in 1909. A group of extremists calling themselves advocates for the separation of church and state have threatened to sue city council if the cross isn’t taken down. As a result, the citizens are rallying together to preserve the religious and historical monument.

Before we weigh in and debate the issue we need to clarify one thing. This group that claims to be advocates for the separation of church and state are anything but. They are not advocates for the separation of church and state. They are advocates for the elimination of church. Before we go anywhere let’s be honest about that simple fact before we let anyone pervert and destroy the sacred constitution.

If this is a religious and historical monument, then tearing it down would be a violation of the constitution and their freedom of religion. It’s not about preserving Christian principles, it’s about preserving the constitution. Tearing down all the statues of Buddha or Islam or any religious symbol is not supporting the separation of church and State. It’s supporting a Marxist Leninist Atheist sate I.E. Communism where you’re not allowed to worship how where or what you may. That is where we are going with this. Just so we’re clear.

It is Communism that tells us we’re not allowed to go to church. It is communism that tells us we’re not allowed to pray or have religious symbols. It is the Constitution that tells us yes we can. It is the Constitution that tells us, yes we are allowed to pray and have religious symbols. First they came for the Christians, then they came for the Muslims. Then they came for the Buddhists. All we were left with was a Communist state with no human rights. That is not the road any of us want to take.

Come to think of it, there’s a group in California that want to outlaw circumcision. Next they’ll want to outlaw personal hygiene. Jews and Muslims both believe in circumcision. That is their constitutional right. Violating the constitution is against the law. Everyone gets all freaked out as soon as someone threatens to sue. Let them sue and make a counterclaim for costs and damages. The constitution needs to be preserved. We know what the end result is if it isn’t.

Top U.S. commander in Afghanistan under investigation

I’m all for scandals and conspiracies but this one is simply tabloid trash and when you put it together with the recent resignation of the director of the CIA, it smells fishy. Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan is now under investigation for what is being described as "inappropriate communication" between the general and a woman implicated in the scandal swirling around former CIA director David Petraeus.

An unnamed Pentagon official told the Associated Press that between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of emails and other communications between Allen and Jill Kelley are under review. A senior defense official would only tell AP that some of the emails could be described as "flirtatious." However, other top officials have told AP that generally speaking, the messages are not sexually explicit.

Kelley was the recipient of threatening emails from Paula Broadwell, the 40-year-old woman with whom Petraeus, 60, admitting to having an extramarital affair. As the world turns. Who the hell cares? This is just soap opera drama. However, it does launch a parade of red flags. First we have big brother combing through 30,000,000 pages of private e-mail after searching their entire home for whatever they’re really looking for. Second, we have the Pentagon sending out press releases giving the media updates. That’s a red flag. If they weren’t out to get these guys, they’d be hushing it up. Instead, they’re on a character assignation campaign which is the first thing they do to a potential whistleblower.

Remember the Secret Service agents in Columbia that were caught stiffing a prostitute? There were tons of high ranking officials involved. No Pentagon press releases about that one and low and behold, it’s all swept under the carpet. Surprise surprise. Another red flag is that fact that General John Allen took over the command in Afghanistan from General David Petraeus. That means they knew each other and have worked together. It’s even possible that they were friends with each other.

Let’s put this in perspective. I certainly don’t condone adultery. Yet I find getting all freaked out because General Allen had private correspondence with some woman completely disproportionate when we say nothing about US troops helping protect the Opium farms in Afghanistan. That’s the real scandal right there. Not a word said about that though because the pentagon aren’t sending press releases out about that.

Reversing the contract for the oil pipeline is a way bigger scandal then a bunch of flirtatious e-mail. Yet that doesn’t matter because that’s the party line. What’s the matter, weren’t these guys gonna tow the party line any more?

Turns out court records show the former CIA director and Gen. John Allen intervened last September in a messy custody dispute on behalf of Jill Kelley’s sister, whom a judge described as dishonest and lacking integrity. This photo is of Petraeus with Jill Kelley’s twin sister Natalie Khawam. I’m not sure what all those beads he’s wearing represents but he looks like he’s having a good time. Somehow I don’t think there was anything secret about any of these relationships.

St. John's inmate mistakenly released from jail – again

A New Brunswick inmate who was released by mistake from a Saint John jail last month is now facing charges in a home invasion that resulted in a death. It's not clear if McCutcheon duped the administration at the detention centre or if it was a paperwork error.

In 2010 another inmate was mistakenly released from jail in St. John's Newfoundland even after trying to persuade guards, sheriff's officers, court staff and police that he should remain locked up.

Remembrance Day 2012

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 the hostilities of World War I came to an end. In Flanders Fields is a famous poem written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae during that war that referred to the poppies that grow in the fields of France where some of the bloodiest battles of the war were fought. As a result, the poppy has come to symbolize remembering the sacrifices made on our behalf in times of war.

The other day the Vancouver Province ran an editorial cartoon of a solemn memorial for all the soldiers who died in war. The picture beside it was a memorial for all the civilians who lost their lives in war. That monument was three times the size. That is indeed tragic. Last year one reader said it was a 10 to 1 ratio of civilians killed in war compared to soldiers. Certainly Hiroshima and Nagasaki were examples of that. Just as the poppy has come to symbolize the sacrifices made in war, the paper crane has come to symbolize the civilian casualties of war. Something we need to remember as we embark on drone wars to kill suspected terrorists and civilians.

Last year on the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year I wrote a post about how we’ve gone from the poppies of Flanders fields in France to the opium poppies grown in Afghanistan after the allied invasion. Times have sure changed and it hasn’t been for the better. We have changed the mission and distorted the dream. I’ve been surprised how much traffic that old post is getting this month.

I’m not going to restate the same concerns here but I will expand upon them. WWI and II were pretty clear cut good versus evil. A madman rises to take over the world and the world responds to stop him. It is important to remember the steps Hitler used to con his people and convince them into giving him more power then he ever deserved.

Even Korea and Vietnam, as controversial and unpopular as those wars were, were fighting for a specific cause. It was a stand against a nation who wanted to invade another nation and bring them into bondage. It was still a fight for Freedom. The invasion of Iraq changed all that. It introduced war profiteering and propaganda which resulted in the occupation of foreign land based on a lie. We were tricked in Afghanistan and lost many wonderful sincere soldiers as a result. The loss of life does not make a struggle wrong. Fighting for oil pipelines and control of the opium trade does.

An article in the Vancouver Province recently cited how much money the Harper government is spending on advertizing. A new trend mirrored by the flailing Christy Clark government here in BC. A government starts to sink in the polls and instead of heeding the democratic will of the people, they spend millions on advertizing trying to convince voters why big brother knows best.

Yesterday morning I was awoken by a commercial on my clock radio. It was a Harper attack add on Thomas Mulcair. I found it offensive, obsessive and dishonest. It went on and on about how Mulcair supports a gas tax that could be as high as ten cents a litre and how we can’t afford Thomas Mulcair because he wants to spend huge amounts of tax dollars. It was indeed dishonest, offensive and obsessive. This isn’t even an election. Back in the day we would only hear election ads during an election.

Harper’s obsessive paranoia started off with attack ads against the federal liberal leader Bob Rae after the election. The liberals were wiped off the face of the earth after the election. The criminally dishonest robocalls played a role in that. Spending money on attack ads after a political party were wiped off the map was very obsessive. Now the ongoing attack ads have turned to the leader of the opposition and are inherently dishonest. Stephen Harper’s pal Gordon Campbell was the one who supported a gas tax as well as the HST. The NDP and the provincial conservatives in BC do not. Friday I filled up with gas in Abbotsford. There already is a 9 and a half cents per litre difference in the price of gas in Surrey compared to Abbotsford. That is criminal.

Aside from attack ads after the election is over, we also have these crazy ads the Vancouver Province talks about which are paid for with tax dollars just like the Christy Clark government is doing in BC. Why no wonder. They both have the same Pee Wee Herman advisor. The Clark government went so far as paying for a self promoting commercial during the Super Bowl. Insanity to the extreme.

This is the one day of the year Stephen Harper and Peter McKay should hang their heads in shame and be in hiding because they have betrayed the Canadian military they exploit. As we speak there are law suits and complaints of cuts to funding for soldiers, pensions and support services. Jack Layton would not have done that but Stephen Harper did.

It’s like getting elected on a tough on crime platform then cutting funding for the RCMP and the gang task force while at the same time spending millions on advertizing for the RCMP trademark. This is Stephen Harpers bizarre new world that looks more like a bad acid trip down the rabbit hole with Alice in Wonderland then anything we had hoped for. Millions on insider trading jets that can’t be used in the arctic to protect Canada but nothing for the soldiers or coast guard. Billions on the banks that didn’t need a bail out why we cut pensions and raise the age of retirement. What have we done?

When I was looking through youtube videos of the Pink Floyd’s song Requiem for a post war dream, one had a clip of a sky full of parachutes as a multitude of soldiers descended to a bloody battle for freedom. It’s overwhelming to think about how many soldiers volunteered for that colossal cause. It also showed clips of soldiers killing each other and it made me ask, what makes us different from the enemy?

The first difference was we weren’t invading another country trying to conquer them. We were helping to stop that. The other difference was that we don’t torture our prisoners. Sadly in modern warfare both distinctions have been lost. This is not what our soldiers fought for. This is not the dream they died for. What happened? What happened to the post war dream? Take heed. Take heed of the dream. That’s what makes us different from the enemy. Lest we forget. Lest we forget who we are. Je me souviens. Blessed are the Peacemakers. That is what we used to be.

The FU Crew and the Outlaws

Looks like the Ontario Village Idiots have just become the hunted. A second shooting in London Ontario targeting the Hells Angles appears to be linked to the FU Crew tied to the Outlaws. I’d say that’s a natural consequence... of being an idiot.

The fires and shootings erupted because the FU Crew and the Outlaws motorcycle club are pushing back at the Hells Angels' attempt to take over the drug trade in London, multiple sources said. "The Hells Angels have terrorized everyone for 10 years," said one man.

Ten months after a Hells Angels leader was shot in London, police have arrested a fifth person in the attempted murder. The attempted murder charge indicated Jason Greenwood is accused of counseling another person to murder Diamond Ialenti, the reputed Hells Angels leader shot Jan. 11 during a tense turf war in London.

Besides the shooting outside the Hells Angels clubhouse, a strip club, tattoo shop and two massage parlours believed to be connected to gang members were set on fire, and a house was shot at over a two-day period, with total damage estimates at almost $200,000.

Political Pedophiles in the UK

A growing political scandal in the UK has just exploded. BBC's Newsnight claimed that a 'leading politician from the Thatcher years' was embroiled in a widespread pedophile ring - and repeatedly raped boys from a children's home in Wales. Alleged victim Steven Messham told reporters he was raped 'more than a dozen times' by the man, described on the program as a 'shadowy figure of high public standing'.

Mr Messham, now 49, was one of hundreds of children horrifically abused in children's homes in North Wales during the 1970s and 1980s. He lived at the now closed Bryn Estyn boys home, Wrexham during the 1970s. Allegations of abuse at the homes began to emerge in the 1990s and the Waterhouse Inquiry Report in 2000 looked into the claims.

OK let’s pause there for a moment. The BBC produces a witness who claims he was raped numerous occasions when he was young at the Bryn Estyn boys home in Wales. That’s pretty significant. Yet the allegations are not new. Numerous allegations were made back in the 1990’s and an inquiry was held.

William Hague, the then Secretary of State for Wales, announced in 1996 a judicial inquiry into abuse in North Wales children's homes, he described it as one of the "saddest chapters" in the history of social care and insisted there would be "no cover up". Yet it was. He announced that a "senior figure" would investigate "truly dreadful" child abuse claims some of which involved a senior Tory figure who was prominent under the Thatcher regime. But he didn’t.

In steps Sir Jimmy Savile. A media personality from the BBC who was knighted in 1990. Last month, a year after his death, a TV documentary about Sir Jimmy being involved in child sexual abuse allegations was aired and triggered Scotland Yard to begin a criminal investigation of child abuse allegations that covered six generation. Now we have more witnesses come forward and David Cameron promises to get to the bottom of it as he runs off to do some arms dealing in the Arab world.

BBC names the shadowy politician to be Lords a leaping Robbie McAlpine. Robbie denies it, threatens to sue and heads start to roll at the BBC. Sad. Very sad. Sounds like Alfonzo Gagliano and Jim Brown. You can’t sue someone for telling the truth.

The fact is, there were many real victims in a widespread pedophile ring. That needs to be investigated before we run off and do any more arms dealing, drug smuggling and money laundering. We’ve seen where that road leads.

Director of the CIA resigns

David Petraeus, the retired four-star general who led the U.S. military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, abruptly resigned today as director of the CIA after admitting he had an extramarital affair. "Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours," the retired general said in a statement.

Wow, that’s shocking. That he resigned. Maybe he’s going to make a run for the presidential bid just like Newt Gingrich. Rumors are swirling that the Evil Hilary is stepping down to prepare for her presidential bid when Obama’s second term expires. Isn’t that frightful. I’d vote for John McCain before I’d vote for Hilary Clinton. She was tied to the drug smuggling and money laundering out of Mena, Arkansas along with Mr. Bill.

The thing that bugs me is that Obama goes on about David Petraeus’s extraordinary military service. Let’s see, the unlawful invasion of Iraq based on a lie that incurred trillions of tax dollar debt for war profiteering like Dick Cheney's Halliburton and who knows what else since the Pentagon can’t account for half of what it spends.

Petraeus was also involved with the invasion of Afghanistan reversing the Taliban’s end to opium cultivation there and returning Afghanistan to become the largest opium producing nations in the world. That’s extraordinary alright. Obama’s blind support of the CIA including Operation Fast and Furious is a huge concern. Looks like we just got a better spin doctor.

The State of the Union

Although I’m relieved Obama won the election, I’m not celebrating. In his victory speech Obama said the best is yet to come. I’m not so sure. Operation Fast and furious is a huge concern. Guantanamo bay is still open. The Patriot Act was bad enough. The National Defense Authorization Act was even worse. Wall Street and Bank bail outs from investment fraud continue to choke tax payers unconcious and builds a dangerously consuming debt. It’s a dark road ahead.

I do see the obsession with off shore accounts and large scale tax evasion as not healthy for a free republic. No one wants to be over taxed yet the fact that Warren Buffet pays less tax than his secretary shows there is something wrong with the system. Over taxing the rich or the large corporations isn’t the answer but letting them pay no or very little tax isn’t the answer either.

Obama is a great orator. Yet my concern with Obama is the same as my concern with any other politician, that is of saying one thing and doing another. We know when Romney started talking about lowering taxes for the middle class he was full of it. Yet in many ways, so is Obama.

For Canada, letting a Communist country take over our oil rights is absolutely insane. The bizarre compensation awards under NAFTA chapter 11 has shown us that chapter 11 has to go and has shown us how insane these over reaching trade agreements really are. These new trade agreements, like the recent one with China, are not about free trade, they are about giving up our freedom and liberty. A dark road indeed.

Hells Angel Associate charged with murder

Ryan Wolfson, a man with ties to the Hells Angels has been charged with two murders and three attempted murders carried out in the Laurentians, north of Montreal in September and October. One of those murders was of Antonio Pietrantonio. Oddly enough, Tony Suzuki has the exact same name. However, this news outlet claims they are different people so I’m going to have to sort through who’s who.

Joe Di Maulo gunned down Sunday night

It's all over the news now. Rizzuto advisor, Joe Di Maulo was gunned down Sunday night in Blainville, 50 km northwest of Montreal. He was 70 years old. He is also the brother-in-law of Raynald Desjardins, charged with the 2011 murder of former Bonanno crime family boss Salvatore Montagna.

Di Maulo was of Calabrian origin and was linked to the clan Cotroni and Violi before they were eliminated by the Rizzutos, which he then joined. Former Montreal police investigator Richard Dupuis said Di Maulo might have angered Rizzuto for failing to strike back following the murders of Vito's son Nick Jr. in 2009 and his father, Nick Sr. in 2010.

It’s interesting to note that he is Calabrian and the Calabrians are making a come back with the help of the Hells Angels. I’m going to have to sit down and do the math on this one. He could have been taken out by either side. Either way, shooting a 70 year old man is pretty lame.

Meanwhile, the Montreal mayor steps down amid corruption allegations.

Niagara drug bust tied to Montreal and Vancouver

Kim Bolan is reporting that the new drug bust in Niagara tied to Vancouver is also tied to the Montreal bust through Larery Amero’s pal Rabih Alkhalil who is still at large. Police claim this drug ring was supplying 400 kilos of cocaine a week through the exchange of BC bud for cocaine in the States.

We know that the Niagara Hells Angels did nothing but sell drugs. We know the BC Hells Angels use violence to control all the grow ops here. Clearly the root of the problem remains unchanged. According to Neil Hall’s book Hell to Pay, David Giles was implicated in the 2 1/2 tonnes of cocaine seized on the Western Wind but was never charged.

$5 Million for Surrey City Hall furniture

The Surrey Leader is reporting that City council plans on spending $5 million on furnishings for the new building. Although there is no need to move the existing City Hall to Surrey Central, I do think it’s a good idea. It makes City Hall more accessible and it helps continue the upgrade of what was once infamously known as Whaley Exchange.

My concern is the ongoing huge expenditures and out of control spending that is resulting in a continued raise in taxes both property tax as well as hidden taxes on everything else. Gas in Surrey is already insanely more expensive than it is in Aldergrove or Abbotsford. That difference isn’t because of provincial or federal taxes it is because of municipal taxes and the ever increasing sky train tax.

Surrey is borrowing $97 million from the Municipal Finance Authority to pay for the building, but will pay $37 million of that back through the lease of its existing building at 142 Street and Highway 10. Yet once source claims the real cost with interest is $200 million and no one has leased the old building yet so the $37 million isn’t there.

Diane Watts' desire to toll and tax everything is absolutely insane and clearly shows what happens when you let one political parry get completely out of control with their spending. I do think the new library at Surrey Central looks nice. I am concerned about the huge costs involved and the frenzy of out of control spending that is seriously affecting our taxes. Fiscal responsibility isn’t pork barrel tax and spend politics. Yet that is all we are now seeing and that needs to change.

More details in Larry Amero’s Montreal drug bust

The Vancouver Sun, the Vancouver Province and the CBC are all reporting that Larry Amero’s recent drug bust in Montreal had the capacity to import and distribute about 75 kilograms of cocaine per week. Police seized 400 firearms, explosives, $255,000 in cash, marijuana, cocaine and other drugs. Kim Bolan reported that seized explosives were like 1,486 sticks of dynamite. Police reported that "The group did not hesitate to use violence to take control and expand their territories."

Police are still looking for four of the six men they considered leaders of the operation: Mihale Leventis, Frédéric Lavoie, Rabih Alkhalil and Timoleon Psiharis. Before Thursday, police seized 153 kilograms of cocaine and 46,100 units of methamphetamines, along with 161 guns, 291 prohibited weapons, 1,486 explosives and 50 detonators in a sweep connected to the latest raids.

So here we have another cross border drug operation involving BC bud and the Hells Angels bringing cocaine back into Canada that has resulted in a violent drug war murdering rivals over territory and ruthless torture and murder of addicts for drug debts. That makes three strikes for criminal organization status. Rob Shannon and Jody York in Weird Hal’s dumb video. Tbarz which is NOT under new management, connected to a huge cross border drug ring involving the Hells Angels implicating Randy and Trevor Jones.

Now Larry Amero from the same Whiterock chapter Randy Jones, the real owner of Tbarz, is from is charged in another cross border ring tied to the Hells Angels in BC and the Montreal drug trade. That’s three strikes to criminal organization status.

We know the Whiterock Hells Angels have been involved in the Surrey drug trade ever since the Surrey House of Horrors. Now we hear the Whiterock chapter is expanding and starting it’s own Surrey chapter. So when they say Tbarz is under new management, does that mean it’s under the Surrey Hells Angels management not the Whiterock Hells Angels management any more?

The Vancouver Province is reporting that although Larry Amero was from the Whitercock Hells Angels, whose clubhouse is in Langley, he now belongs to the West Point Hells Angels. What an offensive joke. What they don’t want to call themselves the Surrey Hells Angels because they don’t want everyone to think they are LOSERS from a toilet? These guys are everything the real west point stands against. They’re better off sticking with the Jesters name and logo because clearly they are still a bunch of clowns who just don’t get it.

It’s actually pretty funny Larry Amero is telling people he’s from the Surrey chapter now when he can’t show his face in Surrey. I guess they’ll have to build the Surrey Hells Angels clubhouse out in Abbotsford with his friends the three little piggies. Sorry, two little piggies now. One’s dead. The Bacon brothers are hated in Surrey. That’s why the suburban princesses had to move out to Abbotsford where they have police protection. If Larry Amero and the Hells Angels supported the Bacon brothers, then they are hated in Surrey too. Larry Amero and the cub pack on Gilligan’s Island. Good luck with that Silicone soldier. Gangster You Not. Let's Give it up for NYC.

Jim Brown the freak sues Cameron Ward

Not only is that freak Jim Brown still working with the RCMP after posting pornographic bondage pictures of himself with a knife and RCMP boots and a naked woman, not only did the RCMP search the whistleblowers home and seize his computers, but now Jim the Freak is suing Cameron Ward for defamation. When will the offensive insanity end? At least now we can subpoena ALL the evidence and finally make this a public inquiry once and for all. Cameron Ward can’t have his day in court unless ALL the evidence he has been asking for is finally produced. Otherwise it would be an unfair trial.

The RCMP have obviously completely gone off their rocker in supporting a known deviant on the force. The defamation claim likely revolves around the anonymous claim that one of the pictures was of Jim Brown in a threesome with Dave Pickton. Is that the photo the RCMP seized and destroyed from the whistleblowers home? We sure had hoped for more from the RCMP, not this. Very sad. Jim Brown should have been fired a long time ago. If he has sensitive information about the Pickton case and is blackmailing the force then fire him and let that information come public. Don’t help this disgusting freak bully the public any longer.

Bomb found on Surrey Sky Train track

Oddly enough, a "makeshift" bomb was spotted by a passenger on an elevated SkyTrain track in Surrey yesterday afternoon, and later removed and exploded by an RCMP bomb squad. The confirmed bomb threat is believed to be the first ever involving SkyTrain infrastructure.

The bomb was spotted between Gateway and Scott Rd. SkyTrain stations in Surrey at 2:15 p.m. Police found that it was strapped to three empty cylinders. The cylinders, which looked like propane tanks according to police, will be kept for forensic investigation. Three empty cylinders doesn’t sound like a Halloween screecher bomb. Strange. Empty propane cylinders wouldn’t do anything.

“When you looked down on the device you could see what appeared to be some sort of red canister; it looked like possibly a fire extinguisher or an oxygen tank,” transit police spokeswoman Anne Drennan said.

Brock Palfrey pleads guilty in drug ring

Brock Palfrey from Coldstream has pleaded guilty to trafficking on behalf of a criminal organization in a multi million dollar drug trafficking ring that moved cocaine and ecstasy across the Saskatchewan-Montana border.

The drug ring moved more than a tonne of cocaine from California across the Saskatchewan-Montana border and into B.C. In time, he maximized the trips by adding 790,000 ecstasy pills and 60 pounds of B.C. bud, destined for U.S. cities. The crown is seeking a 25 year sentence. Unlikely in Canada. I thought he was being tried in the States.

Turns out he’s being tried in a Saskatchewan court. Better than a BC court but not as good as a US court. 25 years is a long time. Unless they’re convicting real ring leaders like Larry Amero or David Giles, a 25 year sentence isn’t going to stop anything. The Hells Angels will just get another mule like Rob Shannon.

Coldstream is part of Vernon where we know the Vernon Greeks used extreme violence to maintain control of the drug trade. The Vernon Greeks was found with Hells Angels support gear in their possession. Hard to conceive Brock wasn’t supplying the Vernon Greeks in that large of an operation. One thing is for sure, Brock wasn’t the ring leader.

Once again we see drug trafficking charges on behalf of a criminal organization laid without naming the criminal organization. I have sources that claim Brock was working with the Hells Angels and was threatened by them just like Rob Shannon’s co accused was, to keep his mouth shut. I do feel sorry for Brock’s family but you’ve got to admit, all that money driving fancy cars and no real job is a red flag. Rob Shannon’s father was seen riding in his son’s expensive boat pulled by that ridiculous truck. He had to have known where that money was coming from.

Larry Amero busted in Montreal

Big news. Larry Amero busted in Montreal for drugs. First Skeletor, now Larry Amero. Oh Happy Day. And they said there was no God. Police said 103 people were arrested today in different parts of Canada including two of the alleged ring leaders: one tied to the Hells Angels in British Columbia and another linked to Montreal’s infamous Irish West End Gang. I thought Maloney sounded Irish. Bloody Hell. Don’t tell me the Irish brothers are in bed with those back stabbing bitches. What is this world coming to?

Are they gonna get an Irish brother to firebomb a funeral home? Shame. Remember Milltown? Ya bastards have probably never been to Milltown cemetery. Instead you’re pissing on a dead soldiers grave by turning Ireland’s fair daughters into crack hos, chained to a bed, addicted to crack. Why you oughta be ashamed of yourselves. Patrick Pearse and James Connolly would never have supported that. Not to mention Bobby Sands.

OK first things first – Larry Amero. Any pictures I have of Larry the media is free to use. The picture of Larry Amero and his DEAD puppet Randy Naicker is property of the Vancouver Sun. The picture of Larry outside the Montreal courthouse for his DUI is property of a Montreal paper. The Journal I think. The other pictures people have sent me and anyone is free to use them at will. Come to think of it, David Giles had a DUI not long ago.

Larry is easy to spot because of his deadheads on the back of both hands. He is or at least was stocky from doing steroids. He was skinny in Walnut Grove Secondary and was picked on. That’s why he turned to steroids. His father was a longshoreman. That’s how he hooked up with the Hells Angels. So if you see a stocky guy with lots of tattoos, Merle Norman eyebrows and a ridiculous man purse, that’s Larry. The deadheads on the back of his hands clinches it.

Larry isn’t just a player, he’s a dog. A dirty dog. Le chien sal as the say in Quebec. Public outrage started in Surrey after the Surrey Six murder. When the Bacon brothers murdered the leaders of the old Red Scorpions and two innocent bystanders to take over the leadership of the Red Scorpions and make them a Hells Angels puppet club just like they did to the Death Riders in Laval back in the day of Mommy Dearest and Biff Hammel.

The picture of Larry Amero and Randy Naicker is evidence that Larry was associated with Randy Naicker who was with the Bacon brothers in the Castel fun park meeting in Kevlar before the Surrey six murder. I don’t want to flog a dead horse, but we knew Larry was friends with Jonathon Bacon back then. We just couldn’t prove it. We could only prove that Larry’s friends were friends with Bacons friends. Until he was shot when he was bragging about his association with Jonathon Bacon in Kelowna. That wasn’t a chance meeting. It was a public endorsement of what was secret before then.

It wasn’t just a matter of doing business with both sides. It wasn’t even a matter of playing both sides. It was a bold outright deception. Matt the rat Schrader got his pal Dirty ex cop Rob Sidhu to use his connections to find the location of the Bacon brothers for the UN. Matt the rat Schrader was affiliated with Rob Shannon and the ridiculous Weird Hal Porteous. They did this to “prove” to the UN, the hells angels were on their side.

The UN at the time were in a bitter war with the Bacon dirt bags. Three suburban princesses who have never been to the hood and were empowered by their secret support from the Hells Angels. They were the ones responsible for that outrageous murder of that mother with her toddler in the car in Surrey because her husband was affiliated with the UN and she was affiliated with the guy who owned the suite the Surrey six murder took place in and was gunned down later on in the Guildford parking lot.

It even went so far that the Bacon brothers were shot at outside Tbarz, a Hells Angels strip club owned by Randy Jones and is not under new management. The same place that was implicated in the US indictment for a massive Hells angels cross border drug ring. By now the UN are getting suspicious of Larry Amero and the Hells angels loyalties. Larry was not acting on his own. The Hells angels did not put a hit on Larry in Kelowna. Larry was on official club business. That is why they have him doing official club business in Montreal. Oh right you’re busted.

So anyways, the UN aren’t convinced and want some kind of assurance Larry and the Hells Angels are on their side so Larry let’s his ex girlfriend ride in the car with them to do the hit. I’m not sure if that’s her in the top picture with Larry but it sure looks like her. Sarah Trouble. I mean Trebble. The spin doctors claimed Sarah was Larry’s ex and was doing her own thing on her own accord but Kim Bolan found they still shared a car lease together.

My point is, Larry Amero and the Hells Angels aren’t just players who play both sides, they are dirty dogs who lie to, use and betray everyone they meet and cast them aside like a dirty shoe when they can’t get anymore out of them.

As for the Alkhalil brothers, I had a tip after the shooting that Larry Amero and Jonathon Bacon went to one of the Alkhalil brother’s wedding before they were shot in Kelowna. Another one of the Alkhalil brothers were shot in the Loft Six shooting. That was ages ago. That was back when the Independent soldiers were Independent. They used to be an Indo Canadian gang separate from the Hells Angels. After the Loft Six shooting their leaders were all killed off and their group became another Hells Angels puppet club. Hence the drool on Randy Naicker’s chin in his picture with Larry Amero. I sure hope that's drool.

The Alkhalils have cocaine convictions. If they are associated with Larry Amero, they are doing business for the Hells angels. The same white supremacists that support the White Boys Posse in Northern Alberta. Just like how the former SS white supremacists Mom Boucher and Salvatore use Greg Wooley to supply all the Crips in Montreal with cocaine. And since they murdered the leader of the Bo Gars because they didn’t want to work for the Hells Angels, it looks like they’ve taken over that entire market too. With all this exclusive control of the drugs in Montreal, there is no way the Hells Angels weren’t involved in the recent execution of the Rizzutos.

Now for the West End Gang. Don’t get me started. In West Belfast, if a crack dealer sells crack, the RA will shoot him dead. The RA as in the IRA. Now I don’t know who’s doing what with the West End gang in Montreal, but I do know they are seriously messed up. Especially if they are doing business with the backstabbing Hells Angels. Buyer beware, the shit is going to hit the fan. Speaking of Larry Amero, where is DY?

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from Riff Raff and all the gang at the Rocky Horror Picture show. “It's astounding Time is fleeting Madness takes its toll But listen closely Not for very much longer I've got to keep control I remember doing the time warp Drinking those moments when The blackness would hit me And the void would be calling Let's do the time warp again.” Another Vancouver tradition.

The Grant Wakefield scandal

Grant Wakefield is the guy whose home was searched by the RCMP after he complained about Jim Brown’s deranged pictures posted on a BDSM web site. Pictures the RCMP were already aware of and had investigated.

Turns out the information used to obtain the search warrant reveals that, in July of 2012, Cpl. Brown’s superiors were concerned Jim Brown was in possession of a “sensitive” DVD containing evidence related to the Pickton investigation. So why search Grant Wakefield’s residence for something Jim Brown might have? Why not search Jim Brown’s residence?

Gee I wonder what Jim Browns perversions has to do with the Pickton trial? What sensitive information? The investigation is over. The publication ban is expired. A “Public Inquiry” is supposed to make all that evidence public. So let’s get on it. Where is this sensitive DVD? The pubic need to know. Cameron Ward is reporting one source of unknown reliability claims one of the photos of Jim Brown is of him in a threesome with Dave Pickton.

East Vancouver mixed-use development projects

This is living proof wherever there is good, there is opposition to it. East Vancouver needs to change. They say stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Vancouver City council voted on a new development project in the DTES that included a mix of subsidized housing, low rent housing, business and regular housing. This is exactly what East Vancouver needs. Let me tell you those “low income” housing units with the cheap rents are disgusting. Protecting a slum is in no one’s best interest.

Obviously there are concerns about the homeless and pushing low income renters onto the street. That is a real concern. Yet the fact remains, East Vancouver is a toilet. Enabling that problem isn’t helping anyone except the drug dealers. The Four Pillars program consists of four pillars not one. Extremists from Zanadu Vandu scream harm reduction over and over again and totally ignore the other four pillars of treatment, prevention and enforcement. Any drug addict in East Vancouver who wants treatment has to get out of that area if they are going to succeed in overcoming their addiction.

Enabling drug addiction only helps the drug dealers get rich. Handing out free crack pipes or free needles doesn’t stop drug dealers from torturing drug addicts for drug debts. It perpetuates violence and exploitation. I totally support new development projects that mix subsidized housing and low income housing with regular housing and business development. That isn’t just the New York Model, that is better than the New York model.

In New York, East 42nd street (the Deuce) was a 24 hour zoo. Crack dealers, crack addicts and all the associated violence was everywhere 24/7. So what did they do? The moved Disney on the Deuce. They kept enforcing the law by arresting crack dealers who sold crack in public and they moved businesses in that resulted in a complete transformation of the entire neighborhood. Yes they pushed the drug dealers out but that is exactly what was needed. Everyone talks about how wonderful the New York model is, well that is what it takes.

Aside from the legitimate concerns about homelessness and low income housing, lets look at some of the absurd objections to the plan. One sex trade worker said it was a great place to work. Tell that to all the sex trade workers buried on the Pickton farm. Advocates for sex trade workers argued that this project would cause sex trade workers to suffer. Hello people, drug addicted street prostitution is illegal. If this project gets rid of the prostitutes in the area, then that is what’s needed.

I don’t want to be mean or offensive, but the fact is, no one in their right mind would have sex with an East Vancouver prostitute. They are nasty. Back in the day, many years ago, there used to be high end prostitutes over on Richards. At that time East Vancouver prostitutes were always beat up and drug addicted but the other part of town used to have high end sex trade workers. After the Hells Angels came into town that all changed. The high end escorts are working in clubs not on the street. Tragically the ones on the street are working off their drug debts and it shows. Enabling their drug addiction isn’t helping them.

People talk about preserving the East Van community. I’m sorry but that concept is a fallacy. I’ve been in the allies around pigeon corner including blood alley. I’ve had teenagers with me handing out food and clothes. The teenagers were shocked to see the homeless scared the teenagers were going to beat them up. Why is that? Because that is what happens in East Van - especially on welfare night. The homeless and the elderly get beat up and robbed. That is not a united community. This fact was proven in the VPD’s project old timer where under cover police officers were done up with movie set make up making them look like seniors. They were regularly robbed and assaulted. This needs to change and mixed-use development projects are a step in the right direction. Homes not drugs.

Surrey House of Horrors murderer parole revoked

Joanna Lee Larson from the Surrey House of Horrors was found guilty in 2005 of murdering Annette Allan back in 2001. Joanna was sentenced to 18 years in prison in 2005. August 2011 the Vancouver Province ran an article about how Joanna the murderess had changed and was out on day parole. Today, they changed their tune and found out they’d been had as her parole has been revoked for parole violations.

This month a federal parole board revoked Larson’s day parole, saying she has been caught in the exact pattern of behaviours that led to the bloody murder of 27-year-old Annette Allan, including drinking, associating with drug users, and repeatedly threatening to violently assault another woman. Joanna was one deranged player from the House of Horrors but she wasn’t the only one.

November 2011 Steven Patrick Lyoupe was convicted of manslaughter in the murder of Garry Glen Harder in 2006. William Thomas Walker, 40, of Langley, and Jordon Vojkovic, 26, of Calgary were co accused charged with first degree murder of Gary Harder. All three beat the life out of Gary including hitting him in the head with a board with nails in it. Handcuffing him to a chair and electrocuted him by putting live wires in his ears.

Gary was a doorman for the crack house and was accused of stealing $300.00 from a crack dealer. They made his girlfriend watch the deranged beating and tried to force her into prostitution to pay off her boyfriends debt. How many others have they forced into prostitution to pay off manufactured debts?

Sex trade worker Yvonne Boen's DNA was found at the Surrey House of Horrors as well as on the Pickton farm. Last summer we heard testimony from a nurse who was forbidden to speak at the not so public inquiry claiming a drug addict she knew claimed she went to a well known Hells Angels spot in Surrey called the House of Pain. We know it as the house of horrors. The woman told the nurse she was taken from there to a party on the Pickton Farm where there was a lot of drugs. She got a bad feeling and ran for her life. As a result, she lived to tell the tale.

Let’s not forget a Hells Angel drug dealer named Tony Terezakis who filmed himself beating the life out drug addicts who owned him money in East Vancouver and couldn’t contain the laughter when they played the videos in court.

We see a very disturbing pattern repeat itself. Torture of drug addicts for drug debts. Forcing women into a life of prostitution for drug debts and a deranged world of mistreatment of those drug addicted sex trade workers that connect the Hells Angels to crack houses in Surrey and the Pickton farm. Wally Opal should be in jail for accessory to murder.

Canada doesn’t have a prayer

Well the new police chief in Winnipeg committed the unpardonable sin. He expressed a religious opinion. He implied that prayer could reduce crime in the city. He said “I think if we have a community that's consistently praying for one another, hopefully we'll now see the physical reduction of crime and violence in our city." Heaven forbid.

“What would happen if we all just truly — I’m talking about all religious stripes here — started praying for the peace of this city and then actually started putting some action behind that? I believe something phenomenal is going to happen in our city. I truly believe it’s coming. I don’t think I’ve arrived at this position just by chance.”

OK so let’s make a list of special interest groups that he offended with his insensitive remark. Muslims? Nope. Muslims believe in Prayer. Sikhs? Nope Sikhs believe in prayer. Jews? Nope Jews believe in prayer. Christians? Nope Christians believe in prayer. So just who did his offensive comment offend? Atheists? Why would they care? They don’t believe in God so praying to nobody wouldn’t hurt anyone.

However, psychologist will agree that if the community is praying for each other then they just might be more tolerant of each other. In fact, if they are praying for a reduction in violent crime, that just might wake up their senses to take ownership of the problem and report crime to the police. Imagine that. Unfortunately, I guess everyone is so freaked out about him committing the unpardonable sin, Canada doesn’t have a prayer after all.



NDP MP Pat Martin, who represents crime-plagued Winnipeg North, said the power of prayer alone will not prevent crime any more than it will help to levitate the Public Safety Building. Having said that, Martin found the new chief’s words to be “interesting and refreshing.”

“Prayer is reflection, and there is a role for thoughtful reflection of one’s actions,” said Martin, over the phone from his office in Ottawa. “Personally, I like the guy.” So do I. I'll tell ya what's not good for building public goodwill, refusing to consult with the public or let them know what's really going on. That burns bridges more than a prayer does. It's called arrogance.

If this was Gandhi, Mother Teresa or Martin Luther King and they said pray for peace, no one would care. But because he’s the chief of police we‘re going to lynch him? That is absurd. What if Martin Luther King held office? Would we lynch him for saying the same thing? Not likely. Are we offended by Martin Luther King and his I have a dream speech? He quoted a hymn and talked about a time when Protestants and Catholics as well as black and white children could join hands and sing free at last free at last thank God almighty we are free at last. Was his reference to God forbidden and offensive? I think not.

Is the president of the United States not allowed to say God bless the United States of America because he holds office and needs to support the separation of church and state? That’s ridiculous. The police chief is allowed to say pray for peace. Banning him from doing so is absurd.

Sovan Pen is a Hells Angels ASSociate

Sovan Pen pleaded guilty to possessing ten pipe bombs, found during a police investigation of a drug trafficking ring in January. Pen also pleaded guilty to possessing amphetamine with the intent to traffic.

Pen was formally a business partner of Salvatore Cazzetta, Mommy Dearest’s SS pal who founded the Rock Machine then crossed over right before Boucher went to prison. Pen handled marketing for a distribution company that sold energy drinks in Quebec. He was also part of a large roundup of Hells Angels and associates in 2004, and served a seven-year prison term during the 1990s for drug trafficking.

Just goes to show ya just because it’s an Asian getting busted doesn’t mean the Hells angels aren’t involved. The hells angels will frequently not only do business with Asian crime groups but they will pay an Asian to commit a criminal act for them then at the same time tell everyone else, if it wasn’t for the Hells angels, the Asian crime groups would be taking over our cities. And the con goes on...

EPD withholding ID of murder victim

Last Saturday a decapitated murder victim was found dumped in a ditch north of Edmonton. The police still have not revealed the identity of that murder victim. Last Wednesday a human head was found in an Edmonton alley. This morning the autopsy results of the human head have come in and the police are confirming the head belongs to the decapitated murder victim found last Saturday. Yet they are still withholding the mans identity and cause of death. They say it’s an Alberta man in his 50’s.

I have one source who claims to know the victim and claims it is a friendly 54yr old man from Lloydminster named Robert John (Bob) Roth who had a cocaine addiction and was murdered for a drug debt. They claim the White boy Posse are pushing their way into Lloydminster after the Baseball Team bust and are trying to make examples out of people. As we know the White boy Posse are a neo Nazi group that sell drugs for the Edmonton Hells Angels across northern Alberta. (Edmonton Angels - EA - 51)

The Edmonton Police have a bad reputation for withholding information from the public. They also have had a bad reputation for leaking confidential information to the Hells Angels. Since this investigation is now in the hands of the RCMP, let’s hope they start being a little more honest with the public. That is the only way they are going to gain the public’s trust and assistance.

A new term known as working off minutes has began in northern Alberta. It means enduring 1 minute of torture for every $100 owed. People who wear a Hells Angels support shirt now, aren’t just saying support your local crack dealer. Now they are saying they support torture, murder, decapitation and dismemberment. They are saying they are deranged.



The Edmonton Sun is now reporting a source told them this murder was gang related in that the body was dumped in a location where it would send a message to a rival gang. I’m still hearing he was murdered for a drug debt and that he was murdered on the way home from Edmonton and dumped where a rival gang was operating as a warning to them to stop doing business.

CBC has confirmed with sources that the name of the deceased is Bob Roth from Lloydminster.

Vernon man arrested for gun trafficking

Riley Stewart Kotz from Vernon has been charged in a gun trafficking operation that involved 80 firearms, over-capacity magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Some of the weapons seized included the Tech 9 and a number of AK-type assault rifles. CFSEU executed search warrants over the weekend in Penticton, Vernon and Summerland. Four Canadian men and one American woman are facing numerous gun charges. We know that Vernon was where the Vernon Greeks ran the drug trade and had Hells Angels support gear on their possession.
