7 People charged in Prince George brutal assault

We interrupt this political scandal investigation with an important news update. Charges laid in another Lloydminster murder and a brutal assault in Prince George.

Seventh person charged in Prince George sex assault

Six people face charges of sex assault, assault and unlawful confinement in a case that police in Prince George say is horrific and disturbing. The charges come after police found an unconscious teenage male beaten and sexually assaulted in a snowbank on Monday night.

Hayden Alwood, 18, and 20-year-old Mercedes Jewett have been charged with aggravated sexual assault, aggravated assault, assault causing bodily harm and two counts of unlawful confinement. Four other youths have also been charged but can’t be named due to the young offenders act.

A sexual assault on a guy by a group of guys. That is disturbing. Two girls were present yet this sounds pretty messed up. Hayden Alwood’s mother runs a clothing and hip hop promotion company called the Urban Underground as well as a CRU clothing line. The name CRU is awfully similar to the name Crew, a puppet club that sold crack for the Hells Angels in Prince George that was known for cutting off fingers for drug debts.



Hayden’s mother Kitt Alwood is very suspect. Luring youth to wear hats and t-shirts representing the CRU4life so to speak along with slogans like Respect what you represent and CRU remains untouchable. Implying that they are still around and haven’t all cross over to the IS or the GTS in PG. Kitt has contacts in Calgary, Red Deer and Dawson creek. She could not be operating a clothing line with the same name as a puppet gang without permission. At first they tried to claim the Independent Soldiers was just a clothing line as well.

Hayden’s co accused Mercedes Jewett has a young baby she dressed in a cute Harley Davidson outfit. Jesse James Hoffman, the father of her child, was wanted by the police for criminal harassment. He’s 5’ 8” and weights 130 lbs. Doesn’t look very threatening. Perhaps it’s the mob mentality that will swarm and rape a young boy. Looks like we still need some time with Dr. Phil. That sure ‘aint respecting what you represent. That's not even respecting yourself.



Just for the record, whoever told you it’s not gay if you don’t look them in the eye was lying. It is. The fact that you can get an erection sodomizing a teenage boy clearly shows that’s exactly what you are. Perhaps we should have public demonstrations like they did in India calling for the death penalty of these deranged maggots. Clearly reporting these maggots to the police isn’t being a rat or a squid. Failing to do so is. Thanks to the efforts of Chuck Cadman the deranged young offenders can and should be tried as adults since it classifies as a violent crime.

Interesting to note that the new Young Offenders act also drops the absolute ban on publishing the names of youth involved with the courts. I totally missed that. That change was made way back in the year 2000. The Youth Criminal Justice Act (Feb 19 2002) states the names of 15 to 17 year olds who are convicted of serious, violent crimes, such as murder or aggravated sexual assault, can be reported in the media. The name can also be reported if the young offender is being tried as an adult. If the youth has been found guilty of an offence and is given an adult sentence, their name can be reported in the media. Section 110 of the YCJA.



Here’s a picture of Hells Angels associate and Devil’s reject Mad child posted on the Urban Underground. Shane Bunting is even shorter than the under age girls he hangs out with. Don’t forget his deranged tribute to Robert Pickton. Here’s a picture of wee Shane Bunting and the sodomizer Hayden Alwood. Also known as the maggot. Or at least something that rhymes with that. That's it, assume the position Shane. You didn't get those dirty knees from washing the floor.



The Hillbilly CRU: Proudly repin AIDS because they’re out of touch with reality. Time to call social services. That is one dysfunctional family. Yo bro, that ‘aint no cougar. That is one butt ugly predator. It’s an inbreed from the Hillbilly Crackhead CRU. Word.



Look at the walls of this crack house. It says F Pigs. Pigs are the ones who gang rape a boy in the butt. Pigs are the ones who pretend they don’t know who did it or where this crack house is. Those are the pigs. F*ck ya.



Majic Mike: another flaming loser from the Hillbilly Crackhead CRU. Inbreed.



Seventh person charged in Prince George sex assault

Campbell Heights: The epicenter of money laundering

This local scam is an example of how money can be stolen from the public purse. Only this scam was “legal.” Surrey City Development Corporation Presents Campbell Heights North Business Park. What an ironic name for a tainted legacy of sweetheart deals and money laundering. The Campbell Heights Business Park is part of a parcel of land the city of Surrey acquired from the BC Liberals. That’s what the clear cut at 192 st and 32 ave is all about. It’s a parcel of public land that went private. After it was rezoned of course.

The city of Surrey bought the crown land from the BC Liberals at $35,000 an acre. They then sold 260 acres to three dirty developers who were friends of the BC Liberals and contributed to their campaign - Milan Ilich, Joseph Segal and Emerson. They sold it to these campaign contributors at cost, $35,000 an acre and kept 220 acres for themselves. Now those same special developers are reselling that land for $750,000 - $850,000 and acre. They made 24 times their investment in this sweetheart deal. That’s assuming of course they actually put any real money on the table at all. Why Campbell Heights Limited Partnership even contributed to the BC Liberals.

So in reality, the city of Surrey helped these campaign contributors steal $2 billion from the public purse. That is a huge concern. Just like BC Rail. Selling off public assets to campaign contributors. That is what caused the Greek financial crisis. Public money went private then disappeared. That was more tied to investment fraud but this is another example of how public money can be stolen through real estate. The question I want to know is how is the city of Surrey’s secret development corporation going to report their net gain on their 220 acres? That’s at least $1.5 billion. Does that go to tax revenue or does it disappear into some politician’s pocket? That kind of money could sure help pay down the Port Mann Bridge.

Obviously there are many concerns on the table. Helping campaign contributors steal from the public purse is one. Having city hall run their own development corporation is another. Developers are supposed to be independent and bid on projects. They have to apply to city hall for zoning. What Surrey First is doing is just as bad as the corruption trials in Montreal yet what they are doing is legal. It is however, just as dishonest.

The other concern is, why won’t the local media report any of this? Can the local media be controlled by advertizing dollars from the Laura Balance group? Why that would be Conrad Black censorship all over again. Local Surrey blogger Laila Yuile has already reported on the conflict of interest involved in the city running it’s own development corporation as well as the dirty deal done dirt cheap at the Campbell Heights Industrial Park. Yet she is the only one.



The other concern is simply bad planning. Sending herds of diesel trucks down a residential road is a real concern. Most of 32 ave is rural but not all. One townhouse complex has been steam rolled over by city hall in this sweetheart deal of “progress.”



Who pays for all the road developments building a freeway to their industrial part in the middle of what was agricultural land? Is that more tax dollars going to aid and benefit dirty developers who contributed to the BC Liberals? No wonder there is such a close bond between Gordon Campbell’s Liberals and Surrey First.



Campbell Heights is an area of Surrey that was named before the infamous sleazeball Gordon Campbell became premier and left office with the lowest approval rating in the country. Yet the Campbell Heights Industrial Park is clearly named after him and is the perfect example of how Surrey First is bringing back Gordon Campbell’s sleazy selfishness to new heights for the world to see. I think that deserves a monument. A giant Gordon Campbell monument to self indulgence. Well done urban cowboys.

Secrets and Lies of the Bailout

Next we’re going to take three steps over the fiscal cliff. Three short posts about investment fraud and stealing from the public purse. The first step is a peek at another timely article in this month’s Rolling Stone magazine a blog reader sent in. It’s another good one by Matt Taibbi about Secrets and Lies of the Bailout.

Matt Taibbi wrote another great article in March 2010 for the Rolling Stone called the Looting of Main Street. In August of 2012 Matt wrote an informative expose on Bain Capital. This month’s article talks about how $700 billion in taxpayer money to rescue Wall Street from its own chicanery and greed was based on a lie. It’s a good read and the first of three steps over our fiscal cliff series on theft from the public purse locally and internationally.

Surrey Judge over turns gun related minimum sentence

A Surrey judge has ruled the government’s law applying a mandatory minimum sentence to a gun charge is unconstitutional. He is wrong. In the United States they have a constitutional right to bear arms. We do not. James Bahen claims the “Law creates an arbitrary and fundamentally unjust sentencing process.” He is wrong. It imposes a mandatory minimum for gun related crime.

However, if you look at the case, the offence the person was charged with was the possession of a firearm. It was not the use of a firearm to commit a criminal offense. Those are two entirely different things. If you use a firearm to commit a crime, a mandatory minimum sentence is needed to deal with the outrageous amount of gun related violence we now see in our communities.

However, 3 years in jail for the possession of a firearm is in my opinion, excessive. It’s got nothing to do with the constitution, it has everything to do with logic and justice. We see numerous prolific offenders who commit an outrageous amount of property crime getting a slap on the wrist and released right away. Three years for the simple possession of a firearm in comparison is excessive.

Let’s say I get fed up with all the death threats and decide to carry a gun to protect myself and my family. Having no criminal record, getting three years in jail for the simple possession of a firearm without committing a criminal offence is not only excessive, it’s wrong.

Yes, violence is not the answer, yet somewhere we need to draw the line between sailor’s rights and the protection of persons and property on one side, and those who want to commit criminal acts by harming persons and stealing property on the other. The law should protect sailor’s rights. I.E. someone who is protecting his family and property. The law should not penalize someone for that. Just saying.

I was ready to slam this judge for being from outter space but upon examining the case on hand I will agree a three year mandatory minimum is excessive. Having said that, I think a three year mandatory minimum for using a firearm to commit a crime, namely shoot your ex or a a rival drug dealer in public or do a home invasion or rape, then yes a three year mandatory minimum is totally in order and if any judge says otherwise then I would say they are from outer space and need to set aside their dry heaving arrogance long enough to open their eyes and use some common sense. The constitution makes reference to public safety. Mandatory minimums for a gun related offence that jeopardize public safety fulfills the constitution they don’t violate it.

Did ya see Alex Jones come unglued promising a return to 1776 if they try and take their guns? Here's the video clip. Without screaming like a raging lunatic, I think armed guards in schools could be a good thing. After Operation Fast and Furious I don’t think the Obama administration, the Clinton administration or the Bush administration(s) are trustworthy enough to disarm the nation. I agree with Jesse Ventura. The right to bear arms isn’t about hunting.



One blog reader just wrote in and cited Project Exile in the US which was a successful federal program that applied mandatory minimum sentences to crime committed with a firearm. Opponents to the plan cites wording in the law which does not apply to violent crime just the possession of certain types of firearms. Clearly we must be vigilant in reading the fine print in all bills the government proposes. The common ground is minimum sentences for using a firearm to commit a criminal act such as rob or rape. Not for possession only.

Another Canadian tourist killed in Mexico

Chris Rogers, an Edmonton university student has died in Mexico. Initial reports were sketchy. First report claimed he got in a fight, was punched in the nose and fell off a balcony. Only he was punched in a night club and fell off the balcony after he was taken back to the hotel by friends. Seemingly the punch gave him a concussion which made him dizzy, implying that’s why he fell off the balcony. Pretty fishy if you ask me.

Who punched him and gave him a “concussion”? Did they follow him to his hotel? Another tragedy has resulted in the loss of another young life. An engineer student with a bright future ahead of him snuffed out for no reason.

There have been quite a few Canadians killed in Mexico. On April 27, 2012, Thomas Gisby was gunned down in Mexico outside a Starbucks. He wasn’t a tourist. He was involved in the drug trade as were Elliot Castenada and Ahmet (Lou) Kaawach who were gunned down in 2008 as well as Gordon Kendall and Jeffry Ivans gunned down in 2009. Salih Sahbaz was another BC resident involved inn the drug trade gunned down in Mexico last year.

However, number tourists have been killed Mexico as well. In November 2012, the body of B.C. man Ron Mackintosh was found dead. Mexican officials said Mackintosh had been dead for several days before his body was found. He had a cord around his neck and was tied to a tree.

In January 2012 a UBC student who was in Mexico working on her doctorate was murdered along with her boyfriend. They were bound, stabbed, set on fire and buried on a beach. Each tragedy represents a profound loss and criminals who have lost touch with humanity.

Hells Angels associate shot in Montreal

Bruno Lefebvre was shot this morning in north Montreal at a plumbing business he worked at. Bruno was a member of the Rockers, a Hells Angels puppet club and a prospect for the Nomads when he was convicted of conspiracy to traffic in drugs and gangsterism in 2004.The Rockers is the puppet club Greg Wooley was with. Most media reports state Bruno was a former member of the Rockers but he can't have been out of jail long with statutory release and all.

Shooting in Dartmouth

Now even Dartmouth is facing shootings.

Violent crime comes with the bad drugs these creeps bring.

There were shootings in Dartmouth March and October of 2012.

A 16 year old was also shot in Dartmouth on New Years day.

Idle no More

There’s a new protest movement going around that members of the First Nations community are calling idle no more. Evidently they are playing on a stereotype about being idle and not working. So when I hear a group of people rally together and publically commit to being idle no more, I’m sure others join in with me cheering their commitment to get a job and not being idle any more.

I do have two concerns. There clearly are problems on many Native reservations. This news video may be propaganda, but it talks about numbers of dollars going into some of these reservations and how that money is being sucked up by chiefs, elders and politicians while the condition of their reservations continue to deteriorate. Something fishy is going on.

Yes there is a problem with repairs but there is also a problem with money allotted for repairs filling someone’s pocket and not going to where it’s supposed to go. This is something that needs to be addressed especially when you talk about inherit right to self government. I know several natives that don’t trust their chiefs and elders with the money that is currently given them. You wanna turn around and make those shady politicians kings and queens in a monarchy? I think many members of the reservations have concerns with that.

There has been some past history of injustice that has affected the First Nations community in Canada. They aren’t the only ones. Chinese Canadians were exploited to build the railway. Japanese Canadians had their land taken away from them during the war. Recognizing an injustice is important to heal and over come it. It doesn’t turn us into victims for the rest of eternity. Nor does it give victims a license to become bullies themselves.

Canada is full of people from different ethnic backgrounds from all around the world. It’s not just a matter of the white man coming here and taking over. It’s a matter of a global population sharing the earth mother nature has given us to be stewards of. All of us, regardless of what ethnic background we come from, have to get a job and provide for ourselves. Going back in time and living off the land in tents doesn’t cut it any more. Times change and no one has a right to extort others to avoid having to get a job and take responsibility for their own life.

Not paying taxes is bad enough. I suppose no Native in Canada drives on a public road or ever goes to a public hospital. Idle no more means getting a job and paying taxes like everyone else.

This is a woman who makes $70,000.00 a year tax free, has no mortgage because she gets a free home and pays no property tax. Most of us contribute to United Way in some form. How much of that excessive salary does she spend on the starving members of her band? An audit of the bands finances has found significant documentation lacking for the $104 million transferred to the band between 2005 and 2011.

Theresa Spence said she demanded a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Then she said she won’t be attending. I’m sorry but this woman is a nutbar.

Habitat for Humanity can oversee repairs and building new homes on Native reserves. Members of the reservations can chip in and help build their new homes. This will give the youth something constructive to do that will not only help the suicide rate but give them a life skill where they can get a high paying job in construction industry. Volunteers who care can join in and help build these homes instead of blocking railways and extorting the general public. “The Prosperity of Canada’s First Nations begins at home” Shawn Atleo

The Dark side of Surrey City Hall

Darth Maul may have been misunderstood but the dark side is not. Make no mistake about it. Good and evil do exist. Greed and selfishness can consume people and blind them putting them on a different path than they originally started out on.

In Vancouver some people are complaining about the mixed use development sites that add affordable housing and social housing to private condos and business development. I totally support them. 20 units of affordable housing in a nice condo is a lot better than 10 units in a slum lord mansion. Yet the city of Surrey has completely omitted mixed use development from it’s business plan. Instead they are putting up roadblocks to homeless shelters and building a big fence around the Front Room so people don’t have to see the homeless.

It is inherently hypocritical when a politician will accept large campaign contributions from companies that launder drug money then turn around and oppress the homeless not the drug dealers. Oh we want the drug dealers money. We just don’t want to have to look or think about the homeless. That is wrong. The Surrey Urban Mission needs a home. We need to find them one. Vancouver Province article.

The making of a criminal and a crime fighter

What makes a man, or in most cases a boy, a criminal? Stealing cars? Breaking into someone’s home? That’ll do it. Petty car thieves and people who do B&Es are rats. Surrey Jacks. Petty thieves. At what point does a petty thief become a respected gangster? They don’t. They’re cut from the same cloth.

Stealing high end cars doesn’t make a car thief respectable. He’s still just a car thief. Vin Diesel became a police agent to help bust up a high end stolen car ring in the movie Triple X. Vin Diesel wasn’t the rat. It’s the same with selling crack. A crack dealer is a low life piece of garbage. At what point does a low life crack dealer become a respectable gangster? He doesn’t. It doesn’t matter how many keys of coke he slings, he’s still just a crack dealer selling rat poison on the street.

Everyone says the Hells Angels have a no rape rule. That is such a lie. It’s just a bullsh*t PR stunt. Mom Boucher became a member of the Hells Angels as soon as he got out of prison for armed rape. Boucher was a drug user and petty thief. He had a list of break and enters and theft. He stole cigarettes, TVs and electronics. November 1975 he and a friend burst into a Butcher shop and robbed a 71 year old owner with a riffle and a butcher knife. Selling drugs in a larger scale doesn’t make him respectable. Boucher was stabbed in prison again in 2010.

Giles getting busted for drugs was no surprise. The surprise was Johnny Newcome’s stolen car ring for the Hells Angels in Kelowna. Stealing cars, boats and motorcycles is ratlike. Is Vin Diesel making a come back as Xander Cage in Triple X? Let’s hope so. The world needs more people like him. We need a Xander Cage busting up a Sons of Anarchy drug, pimp and stolen bike ring. Somebody’s gotta take out the trash.

Joey Verma’s murder trial will proceed in Kelowna

Castanet is reporting that Joey Verma’s application to have his case transferred out of Kelowna was denied on Thursday. The trial will finally proceed in September. That is a huge delay. Britney Irving did not deserve to be murdered. Reporting a murderer to the police is not being a rat. Failing to do so is.

Public outrage over gang rape

The outrageous gang rape in India has resulted in public demonstrations for justice. In India the laws call for the death penalty for murder and life in prison for rape. Some may argue that a civilized society cannot exist if it believes in the death penalty. Others argue that a civilized society can’t exist if it doesn’t. After all what kind of outrageous brutality are we willing to endorse?

My point is that the brutal gang rape in India has moved a nation to cry our for justice. Indeed we have all been moved around the globe as a result. Rape is a heinous crime. Gang rape falls into the category of mental illness as does a violent rape resulting in a brutal assault and or murder. Like we saw earlier last month in Surrey for a drug debt.

I am told that days after that poor woman was brutally raped and beaten in Whalley, a live grenade was found in a lot across the street. Yet since it happened in Whalley not a word was mentioned in the press. There is a dark evil in Surrey that is trying to hide the truth from the public. This needs to be addressed. When we hide evil, we become accessories to it.



Tragically with all this public outcry for justice in India, another gang rape has occurred there involving another bus driver. A woman got on a bus to go home. The bus driver refused to stop in her town and drove her to another location where he and another man took her to meet five others and they all took turns gang raping her. This is deranged. This is the kind of thing that I personally would support the death penalty for because they obviously don’t care about public safety.

What’s worse is we see the same thing happen here again in Canada. Only a group of six deranged gang banger wannabes beat and gang raped a teenage boy in Prince George and left him for dead in a snow bank. Rape is heinous. Gang rape is mentally ill. Gang raping a teenage boy is not cool. This element of society is deranged.

Bacchus’ three stooges face criminal org charges

People were asking what the status of the previous charges involving Bacchus members uttering threats in Dartmouth. Well here it is… the news everyone on the East coast is buzzing about. Those uttering threat charges have now been upgraded for the benefit of a criminal organization. Three cheers. People were asking why these criminals can run around breaking the law without criminal organization charges being laid. I did say that all these crimes build a case for criminal organization and that time has come. That’s kinda what I meant when I said they weren’t very bright attracting all that heat.

Nova Scotia RCMP announced on their facebook page that as a result of an ongoing investigation from September 2012, the RCMP Combined Forces Intelligence Unit (CFIU),have laid additional charges against three members of the Bacchus Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. This is the first time Criminal Organization charges have been laid against Bacchus since they were established.

Patrick James, 45, of Dartmouth, Duane Howe, 43, from Grand Desert, and David Pearce, 38, of Dartmouth, were charged with commission of an offence for a criminal organization as well as extortion. The men will appear in Dartmouth Provincial Court on Jan. 7.

So tell me, if the Hells Angels shoot the three stooges like they did Juel Stanton, does that mean the criminal organization charges would be dropped? Please advise. Oh they wouldn’t be that dirty would they? Don’t kid yourself. It’s all about what you can do for the organization not what the organization can do for you.

New Developments

CBC is reporting these criminal organization threats centre around an incident where members of Bacchus banned a person from wearing a patch from another MC. After they forced him to cut up the patch, they later banned him from attending a public MC event.

Once again this brings us to who are the Hells Angels or any other finger puppet to tell anyone what they can or cannot wear. Like the Bacchus member in PEI banning people from wearing Sons of Anarchy gear. This is about small town idiots trying to be bullies. No one likes a bully.

Another Bacchus president charged with attempted murder

Well Bacchus are sure proving to be the patron saints of stupidity. Last night they kicked off the new year by adding more attempted murder charges to their list of criminal organization activities while they launch their ridiculous new web site.

CBC is reporting that Paul Roderick Fowler who has been president and spokesperson of the Hants County chapter of Bacchus since 2010 has been charged with attempted murder after attacking someone last night with a hammer. These hillbillies think that just because they kiss Hells Angels ass, that gives them the right to be bullies in small towns. Crack heads. Maybe in their case it’s the mushrooms.

“When we arrived, we found that a 50-year-old man had been attacked, as well as a female who had tried to intervene,” he said. “The suspect had used a hammer in the assault, and the victims sustained what we’d call non-life threatening injuries.” MacRae said the three parties are known to each other, and investigators soon arrested Paul Roderick Fowler, 44, at another home on Renfrew Drive.

He used a hammer on a woman who tried to intervene. Who’s the bitch now? On October 3rd, 2012, a Bacchus member was implicated in the murder of 54 year old Walter “Buddy” Wheeler of Fredericton when he ordered someone else to jump the guy while they both tag teamed him. Sounds like a criminal organization to me.

Let’s not forget Matthew Foley, president of the Saint John chapter of Bacchus who plead guilty to manslaughter after he was caught on video running back to the clubhouse to reload as he chased a guy he couldn’t take in a fight with a gun and shot up the whole neighborhood. The brain surgeons lost their clubhouse after that stupid move.

Didn’t Bacchus get caught selling drugs for the Hells Angels in PEI? Yeah they did. That was tied to the Halifax chapter.

Please note the new buttkiss website is defiantly sporting their traditional logo with the condom nose and the poked out eye that not even the guys in prison will get tattoos of. Kinda like Pat James bragging about his ridiculous ink on the back of his head even after everyone starts laughing at him. These are flaming idiots and they are proud of it. BTW that ain't no Spartan.



Get this – the hillbilly beat up a woman named Nicole Fowler. She has the same last name as him. Turns out she’s his estranged wife. What a freaking meathead. No wonder she left. MC Hammer, can’t knock any sense into him. Let’s count how many Support MC Hammer idiots there will be at his bail hearing. Clowns of a feather all go to the circus together.

Duty counsel for Fowler requested that his client’s bail application be delayed until Monday. Duty counsel – that would be the free lawyer the government gives you. What’s the matter that big bad criminal organization won’t foot the bill for a lawyer? According to court documents, Fowler is alleged to have hit McConnell on the head with a hammer. It’s also believed two children were in the home when the alleged assaults happened. Kids were present? Idiot! Like one blog reader reminded me, Pride cometh before the fall.

In a way, I do feel sorry for the guy. He’s going through this mid life crisis and becomes the local president of a group of flaming idiots who want to be an OMG and sell drugs. His wife leaves him with the kids and shacks up with another man. That’s gotta be embarrassing in a small town. Hard to threaten people as a big bad omg when that happens.

Let’s face it, 50% of marriages fail. Yet attacking the guy with a hammer would be inappropriate. Beating up a woman who tries to stop you would be inappropriate. Involving kids in that kind of violence would be inappropriate. Involving kids in an omg or in any criminal activity is inappropriate. The sad thing is, the kids always suffer when stuff like this happens. Any parenting after separation course will tell you you’re not suppose to bad mouth the children’s parents in their presence.

I saw one video of a father trashing his daughter’s mother in the daughter’s presence. The daughter just stood there thinking and the video played her thoughts out loud. Well if my mom is a b*tch and I’m half my mom, then I musty be a b*tch too. It was heart breaking and goes both ways. Children need to be protected from violence but bad mouthing the child’s parent in their presence isn’t healthy. The father should still have access to his kids. If there’s a concern about violence it should be supervised access until that concern is resolved. The last thing we want is some guy to shoot his ex, his kids or himself. That kind of domestic violence is far too common in our society. So is badmouthing your ex in front of the kids. Neither is healthy.

Murder in Langley, shooting in Surrey - Update

So much for a December ceasefire. Someone sent me a link to a news report about a double shooting in Surrey this morning so I checked out Kim’s blog only to find out there was a murder in Langley as well last night. Strange that police aren’t releasing a name in the murder. They have a suspect in custody but aren’t releasing his name, the name of the victim or the cause of death. One step forward, three steps back.

Bacchus are getting their own post for their New Years insanity. All is quiet on New Year's Day. Under a blood-red sky, gold is the reason for the wars we wage. Clearly nothing changes on New Year's Day. Yet Redemption can come if we are man enough to face it.

Update:

The police have now released the name of the murder victim and the accused. The victim was 40-year-old Cloverdale resident Cole Adam Manning. The accused is Jason Terrence Brewer. Kim Bolan has posted his picture and criminal record in her blog.

Turns out he was on probation for a previous conviction of assault with a weapon. Turns out he was a crack user and had robbed a Macs store with a knife in 2009. It is also reported that he was a “friend” of his murder victim. Kinda like the crack user in Surrey who killed his roommate. Another whacked out crack head showing that crack messes people up and causes violence in our society.

Back in Time: Skeletor's First Stolen Motorcycle

One of the main themes in Pitbull’s song for Men in Black III is “To understand the future, we have to go back in time.” For those who have seen the movie, when Jay goes back in time he discovers an important part of history that dramatically changes his perspective on a life changing event.

The Lennoxville massacre is a significant part of the Hells Angels history in Canada. On March 24, 1985 the Hells Angels ambushed and murdered five of their own brothers from the Laval chapter. Mom Boucher was in prison for armed rape at the time but both he and his pal Biff Hammel benefitted from that execution. Biff was a prospect of that chapter and was present to witness his sponsor’s execution.

It takes a certain kind of guy to say right after someone shoots his sponsor, “Hey does this mean I get a promotion?” That’s exactly what he and Mom Boucher did. They used the execution as an opportunity to promote themselves in the organization. Salvatore Cazzetta, Boucher’s other friend from his white supremacist biker club called the SS was different. He saw it for what it was – a violation of the biker code and refused to join the Hells Angles. He ended up starting the Rock Machine with his brother. That in itself became another scam when he and other leaders from the RM crossed over to join the Hells Angels right before Boucher went to prison.

Yet the point I want to make today ties in with our local hobo clown David Giles, also known as Skelletor, the rusty vibrator. In an article from the Montreal Gazette dated Oct 29 1986, the headline quotes a revelation from the trial in that Angels shared motorbikes, parts after killings. Wiretaps played in court revealed that Hells Angels’ Luc Michaud and Robert Richard promised Halifax bikers their split of motorcycles and parts in the weeks after the murder of the Laval chapter. Dirty deeds done dirt cheap.

One wiretap on April 7 1985, Michaud calls the Halifax chapter and jokes with Ronald Lauchlan MacDonald, David Francis Giles and Robert Milton. On April 7 1985 Richard tells Giles not to make plans for his motorcycle because a second truckload of good is on it’s way. “There’s a surprise for you in the truck. You’ll flip out.” It takes a certain kind of low life to stand by and watch his friends executed without saying a word. It takes another kind of lowlife to ride a stolen brother’s motorcycle after they murdered him. That is astounding.

So not only was Giles fully aware of the betrayal in the Lennoxville massacre, he rode one of the dead brother’s stolen motorcycles. David Giles always was a piece of garbage. History has proven it. However, it also shows you the character or lack thereof of the people he’s dealing with. They joke about murdering their brothers and stealing their property then sign off with “Happy Easter, I love you.” Gag. That is sick and I don’t mean that in a good way. Time to shut it down.

The 2012 Political meltdown - Updated

MSN’s news site ran a photo article on some of the more controversial decisions Stephen Harper has made in 2012. They rightfully point out, no matter how you feel about Harper, here are some eyebrow raising decisions he’s made over the year.

One of the items was getting rid of the long gun registry. That however is the only conservative thing he’s done all year. The rest are outrageous. They compared how he went to Congo and expressed concerns about human rights while he didn’t bat an eye to China’s human rights abuses and gave them Canada’s oil rights. That was astounding. This is a corporation with their own police force that arrests people for their religious affiliation. They now have Canada’s oil rights to use at will in time of war.

Robocalls on their own were shocking. That is the direct opposite of democracy. It was a cheap and dirty trick that revealed the party’s fundamental character. Not caring about the democratic will of the people. Warrantless surveillance is all about Big Brother and has nothing to do with conservative values Harper has apostatized from. Vikileaks even went so far as to say people who oppose their crime bill support pedophiles. Yet later admitted he hadn’t even read the bill and was surprised to discover it gave police the right to put someone under surveillance who had not been accused of committing a crime.

Commercials and attack adds paid for with tax dollars brainwashing voters is a dark precedent. Harper said anyone who doesn’t vote for him is either a socialist or a separatist. Yet he is the separatist because he alienates Quebec in everything he says and does. He is the communist because he has not only sold our sovereignty to a Communist country and destroyed the free market by letting large corporations obtain monopolies on the market, he has thrown away the Charter of Rights by following us around everywhere we go.

They say that since a frog is cold blooded, if you put him into a pot of hot water he will instinctively jump out. Yet if you put him in a pot of warm water and gradually increase the heat, the frog will stay there until it boils. This is what we now see happening to democracy in Canada. Buyer Beware. These new trade agreements are not about free trade. South of the 49 Obama’s Fast and Furious con is more of the same old bullsh*t we saw from other administrations that attacked the constitution instead of preserving and protecting it like they promised. Right now the biggest enemy we have is the enemy from within. It’s called treason.

Update:

On the flip side I failed to mention the two rising stars on the political landscape. Thomas Mulcair has taken hold of Jack Layton’s torch and Justin Trudeau is likewise a breath of fresh air in a room full of toxic smoke.

Harper calls Mulcair a socialist yet Mulcair claims that he often sounds more like a conservative than Stephen Harper. Which isn’t hard because Harper has proven to be anything but conservative. It’s inherently ironic he calls Mulcair a socialist while he himself surrendered Canadian sovereignty to a Communist dictatorship. My pet peeve is this endless insanity exploiting outdated stereotypes claiming the NDP will tax and spend recklessly. That is what Harper is doing. The $65 billion bank bail out is unprecedented. No government has ever put us that far in debt for no reason. Ever. Trade agreements that burn tax dollars in bizarre compensation awards is treason and wasteful.

Wasting millions on a fleet of jets that don’t work in Canada’s arctic while cutting funding for the military and coast guard is also treason. The HST is a raise in small business tax just like Mulroney’s GST was. No lie can live forever and these ridiculous attack adds that are clearly false are becoming irritating and offensive. Conservatives in Canada need a Ron Paul or John Cummins not another neo con that will sell our sovereignty to Corporate Communism.

I like Thomas Mulcair. I also like Justin Trudeau. In all fairness, a blog reader sent me a link to some dirt on JT that needs to be addressed. The article claims JT was to speak at an Islamic conference in Toronto last month. One of the sponsors of that event has been accused of having ties to Hamas. At first I thought the link said HAMC.

It is possible that a charity in Palestine could have links to Hamas. That claim is being appealed nonetheless. Yet what if Hamas had a convention in Canada? I’d love to have an opportunity to speak to them. That doesn’t mean I support terrorism. I support Israel’s right to have a home and be a nation. I will admit that creating a Jewish state is inherently problematic because anyone living there who is not Jewish cannot be a citizen of that nation and are then residents without a passport. Citizens without a nation. Israel then becomes a nation without a constitution.

I do not support terrorism. Back in the day, FLQ graffiti in Quebec was seen side by side PLO graffiti. That is conflicted. Yet it confronts us with the dilemma of refusing to dialogue with terrorists. Were George Washington and Ben Franklin terrorists? We refuse to speak with terrorists but will we speak with revolutionaries? Killing civilians is not being a revolutionary. Yet that is exactly what Hiroshima and Nagasaki did.

We cannot blindly endorse Israel any more than we can blindly endorse Palestine. We can support peace. That is our moral obligation. The sponsor of the Islamic Conference in Toronto ended up pulling out to avoid the potential for conflict. In Canada, Muslims have a right to exist just as much as anyone else as long as they don’t infringe on the rights of others.

2012 Gang War in Review

It’s time to do some house cleaning on the web site and highlight some of the main stories over the past few years of blogging about the Vancouver gang war. 4 ½ years and 6 million hits later we have to ask ourselves has anything really changed? Not much. This year Montreal had a rash of December shootings. Last year it was Surrey. One of the things we need to highlight is the connection between Vancouver and Montreal’s organized crime because they are connected.

Larry Amero’s drug bust in Montreal is further evidence of that. It’s hard to believe the Kelowna shooting was in the summer of 2011. It seems so long ago now. Larry’s arrest in Montreal is also further evidence that the Hells Angels weren’t the ones that put a hit on Larry in Kelowna. They wouldn’t have given him a position in the Montreal drug trade if they weren’t supporting what he was doing with the Bacon brothers. Spike’s niece was there the same reason Larry’s ex was with the UN when they shot at the Bacon brothers – to show support without actually being there. No doubt Larry warned the Bacon brothers that night but they were playing the UN by hiding their support of the Bacon brothers.

Prime Time Crime does a great job of listing the violent murders each year. It’s hard to keep up with them all. Looking back over the past year a few things stand out. One is the obvious extermination of the Duhre Dhak group. I guess we’ve made progress in the sense that we all know about the Hells Angels’ direct involvement in the Vancouver gang war now. Back in 2009 that was hidden behind a cloud of rage and denial. Yet now it’s pretty obvious. The Duhre Dhak group don’t sell drugs for the Hells Angels so they are getting wiped off the face of the earth.

The second most significant revelation of the year is the Hells Angels involvement in the torture of drug addicts for drug debts. The Whiteboys Posse arrest is the flaming example of that yet we had a brutal rape of a homeless woman in Surrey for a drug debt this month. That is outrageous. At least we know now who is ultimately to blame. The court application to seize the East Vancouver and the Kelowna Hells Angels clubhouses is clearly a step forward for the year. Let’s not forget the Hells Angels stolen car ring in Kelowna that was busted this year. Along with the David Giles arrest it made a great end to the Kelowna Summer Jam. That was another highlight.

Let’s not forget the three convictions this year in the cross border drug ring tied to the Hells Angels that have implicated Randy and Trevor Jones as well as Tbarz. Randy even put a sign out front of Tbarz saying it’s under new management so he must have finally taken it out of his mothers name and put it in someone else’s name. It is however, NOT under new management.

Another significant thing this year was the return of Greg Wooley the Hells Angels puppet from Montreal. Mom Boucher made him a member of the Rockers and put him in charge of the Syndicate a puppet gang that sold drugs for the Hells Angels and supplied all the Crips in Montreal. When the leader of the BoBars was shot in Montreal the motive became clear when it turned out he hit and humiliated Greg Wooley at a meeting trying to get all the gangs in Montreal to work for the Hells Angels. The BoBars said no and refused. Shortly thereafter their leader and his friend was shot dead. Clearly the Hells Angels involvement in the Montreal drug trade is bigger than we had imagined.

Of course I still believe the Hells Angels are supporting the Calabrians out of Hamilton against the Rizzutos. More Rizzuto shootings tied to the Hells Angels have emerged this year as well. So obviously first and foremost we have the drug war. Yet all that money laundering is always tied to investment fraud and devastates our stock market. Everyone thinks laundering drug money is a good investment. The problem is that people who sell drugs are dishonest and greedy. Whenever they launder drug money they always want more and get involved with investment fraud.

Recently the paper cited a quote by Richard Rosenthal that said one man with a brief case can steal more than 100 men with guns. We have talked about how the Vatican bank has been accused of money laundering for the mafia and how they were used to misappropriate a huge some of money from a bank in Italy and crashed it. This is what I am referring to with my concerns about investment fraud and how it is often tied in with the gang war over the drug trade. In the New Year we will continue to look at both: the gang war and the investment fraud that is shaking our sovereignty. Peace.

Prison guard charged with drug trafficking

Paul Fleming, a local prison guard from Kent in Agassiz has been charged with drug trafficking in prison. This again sheds light on the ongoing problem. Peter Adiwal was caught trafficking cocaine in a Maple Ridge prison. We saw people throwing drugs over the prison fence in a Manitoba prison and an employee was caught bringing drugs into Stony Mountain where Deli and the Crackhead Crew are staying.

BC’s Police Watchdog in place

Richard Rosenthal has been chosen to lead BC’s new police watchdog office. Increasing accountability is a good thing. Yet Christy Clark came under fire for another foot in the mouth comment. She joked on the radio that she felt it was better to be thought a MILF than a Cougar. Kind of an airhead thing to say.

Woman advocates are left shaking their heads. Yet the BC Liberals problems happened long before Christy took the helm and Kevin Falcon is even worse. He’s just another Gordon Campbell clone in that conflicted crime family.

On the bright side, as a young lawyer in California, Rosenthal said he quickly gravitated toward white-collar crime and “holding the most powerful to account,” while “everyone else wanted to do blood and guts.”

“One man with a brief case can steal more than 100 men with guns,” he says, adding that the most difficult prosecutions are against the rich and powerful, because they’re often highly respected, well-liked, usually sociopathic and can hire the best legal defence money can buy.

So true. Does that mean he’s going to look into Christy Clark’s involvement with BC Rail and the laundering of drug money that went along with it? Or is he not allowed to bite the hand that feeds him? Please advise.

Suspicious fire in Surrey

Two mobile homes in Surrey were destroyed by fire after a mobile home exploded in Surrey last night in Bridgeview near the Pattullo Bridge. The first thought is possible meth lab but neighbors claims the smell of gasoline was very strong before the explosion.

Adelaide takes out the trash

80 Hells Angels and Finks have been banned from every licensed establishment in Adelaide, Australia in an effort to take the bikers drug war out of the public's way. Well done. Three cheers for Adelaide for finally taking out the trash. 80 Hells Angels and rivals banned from every pub in the city. Now that's a good start. Ya see what happens if everyone does their part and picks up a little garbage? The world becomes a much better place.

City of Surrey evicts homeless shelter - Update

Talk about tearing down bridges. Once again the city of Surrey shows it’s true colours. After accepting a bribe from the dirty developers of the mega casino they are closing down the Surrey Urban Mission foodline and homeless shelter with no plan in sight for a relocation. More blood money. Shame on them and shame on all of us for allowing this to happen.

Update:

The Surrey Leader is reporting that time is running out for the homeless shelter and the Vancouver Province has picked up on the story. This is a dirty stain on Dianne Watts’ campaign. This is something Gordon Campbell would do. Evict the homeless and accept a $24,000 bribe from dirty developers connected to Gordon Campbell for an organized crime megatropolis in Surrey. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

This place is on the same side of 104th just across the street from the new Babylonian City Hall that’s being built. The City of Surrey wants the homeless shelter out of there. They’re even putting up roadblocks on their relocation. This is the place that the City of Surrey just spent $5 million on new furniture. Why are they trampling the homeless in their greed and excess? They’re spending big money on a huge black fence around the Front room so people won’t see the homeless there. God help us.

Montreal Mayhem before Christmas

I’ve fallen behind in the gang violence over Christmas. So much for a December ceasefire. Freddy posted a few links in the other forum that are discouraging. Friday December 21st two men were shot in the head, at a strip-mall café in north Montreal. The next day the police claimed the victims had no ties to organized crime yet sources told CTV Montreal the victims were foot soldiers for the De Vito clan.

So what’s with that? A masked gunman shoots two guys in the head in north Montreal. How can that not be related to organized crime? December 17th Giuseppe Fetta was shot in north Montreal. Emilio Cordileone was shot dead December 8th. These guys have no respect for public safety or for a seasonal cease fire. They just don’t care. That’s what greed does to people. This morning there was another shooting in the HoMa bar in Montreal.

These are the same kind of guys that would shoot someone on Christmas eve then tell the shooter to kill his co accused just because. Just because they are untrustworthy and betray everyone they meet for the almighty dollar. They're all a bunch of skidmarks crying out to be flushed down the toilet of justice. Astounding they're driven by the Ontario Village Idiots.

On a lighter note, at least 45 centimetres of snow fell on Montreal on Thursday, breaking a record on Thursday that had stood since 1969.

Gary Webb and the Fiscal Cliff: Part 2 The final cut

Although Gary Webb didn’t mention the fiscal cliff doom and gloom we are now hearing, the things he did bring to light very much effects the reality of the current cause of the financial cliff con that keeps sucking up tax dollars to pay for investment fraud. George Bush used the same con. He called it a global financial meltdown which his fraudulent spending helped create. That is the key thing to remember.

Banks don’t crash all by themselves. Someone has to commit fraud and steal from the bank before it crashes. We know from the closure of the VSE how corrupt those fake pump and dump stocks really were.

The Greek financial crisis is the prime example. Economists warn that what happened to Greece could very well happen to Canada and they are quite right. We could easily get conned just like they did. What caused the Greek financial crisis? What was public money became private money then disappeared. Madoffs were springing up like popcorn who stole the public money through investment fraud. That is what caused it. Just like the S&L crisis in the /80’s.

The mortgage crisis in the States was a little bit different but the root cause was obvious. In the /80’s Canada had a recession and mortgage rates skyrocketed. Mortgage rates went from 6% to 20%, a rate jump that was previously illegal. As a result monthly mortgage payments doubled and people couldn’t keep up and ended up losing their homes. This domino effect continued across the country.

The same thing happened in the recent US mortgage crisis. It wasn’t just a matter of banks handing out high risk loans. Mortgage rates skyrocketed and people couldn’t keep up with the increased payments. Homes were foreclosed left right and centre while cunning capitalists came in and cleaned house. There is nothing wrong with capitalism. There is something wrong with fraud. Canada didn’t see the same mortgage crisis they saw in the US this time simply because our mortgage rates didn’t skyrocket like theirs did. Controlling those mortgage rates helped prevent a national recession.

Capping mortgage rates is pretty simple. What we need to examine is the investment fraud that crashes banks and Wall Street. The kind of fraud that is causing the Irish to ask why they should be paying for that in Europe.

One of my primary points here is the fact that according to Al Martin, the agency used investment fraud as a way to raise money for Iran contra. Not only did they sell drugs to fund the contra rebels in Nicaragua, but they also knowingly committed investment fraud as a way of raising money.

Al Martin pointed out that sometimes the victims were willing participants. They would knowingly invest in a dry oil well as a way of contributing to the cause so to speak. When the fake oil well went bankrupt they would be paid out half their investment and use the rest as a tax right off so they would come out whole, get a patriotic photo of George Bush and a pat on the back saying they contributed to the cause. Others weren’t so fortunate. They were ripped off and lost their shirt.

The double dip scam that Al Martin exposed and claimed Neil Bush instructed him to do was the practice of taking out a bank loan to invest in a dry oil well or fake pump and dump stock. After ripping off investors and taking their money when it came time to dump the pump and dump, they also defaulted on the bank loan and thereby double dipped on their little scam. Al Martin claimed that during the S&L crisis in the /80’s many of the defaulted loans that crashed the banks in Texas were loans the agency defaulted on as a way of fund raising. Those banks were bailed out and the agency walked away with a black ops budget from fraud. This has been confirmed by former Huston Post reporter Pete Brewton.

We have talked about how this did happen in Canada. How the CIA used Earl Brian to commit investment fraud in Canada to help raise money for the October surprise. The question we need to ask is how are we going to address the huge amount of investment fraud that the CIA is directly involved with to avoid this financial cliff con that Obama is talking about. To answer that question we have to remember who paid for Obama’s education.

Deregulating the banks and deregulating Wall Street opened the door for investment fraud. Consequently it isn’t surprising how this fraud has been tied to politicians of both political stripes in the Keating Five. This fraud in nonpartisan. To over come it we need to open our eyes and look beyond party politics. Business is good, fraud is not. Deregulating the banks and wall street so criminals can steal from them will not only see us over the financial cliff, it will rob us of our precious sovereignty. Buyer Beware.

Americans pledge allegiance to the flag and bind themselves by oath to preserve and protect the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic. Turning a blind eye to the CIA’s drug trafficking and their investment fraud is a violation of that oath. It is not patriotism, it is treason. Whistleblowers are not domestic enemies of the constitution, they are patriots. Government drug traffickers and investment fraudsters are the domestic enemies of the constitution. Sluffing off this reality as a conspiracy theory isn’t just irresponsibility, it is culpability. In our case it is unnecessarily driving our nation over a financial cliff of fraud.

To this end let us remember the dirt king himself Robert Booth Nichols as portrayed in Guy Lawson’s new book Octopus. Not to be confused with the James Bond movie.

Gary Webb and the Fiscal Cliff Part 1

The Gary Webb series was a simple model logical progression. Gary Webb was an accomplished award winning investigative journalist. Garry Webb claimed the CIA were responsible for the US crack epidemic in the /80’s. After making that statement Gary Webb’s credibility was attacked. They claimed he was a conspiracy theorist. He was not.

The same person who made that absurd claim was himself pardoned by George Bush Sr. for their illegal involvement with Iran contra. Iran contra as we have established wasn’t just selling Iran weapons in exchange for the release of American hostages. It was selling Iran weapons to raise money for the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. It had nothing at all to do with freeing hostages. Yet Iran Contra went far beyond even that.

Basically, Gary Webb was right. Despite the personal attacks and political pressure his paper faced, he was right. The CIA were indeed responsible for the US crack epidemic in the /80’s. That fact needs to be established and reviewed because we are seeing the same thing repeat itself in the modern day Operation Fast and Furious.

So before I dive into the conclusion of my Gary Webb series this month we need to establish two things. First that Gary Webb was right. The CIA was in fact responsible for the US crack epidemic in the /80’s. They used the rationalization that the end justifies the means. They used the sale of cocaine to raise money to support the military campaign in Nicaragua to fight communism. Unfortunately, the end does not justify the means in real life.

The second thing we need to establish is that the CIA has a long history of drug trafficking. Operation Fast and Furious is very real. That is the same thing they did in Iran contra. That is the same thing they did under Bill Clinton’s watch in Mena Arkansas. Barry Seal and Chip Tatum were first hand witnesses of that. Bo Gritz and Terry Reed were first hand witnesses of the government’s involvement in drug trafficking in Vietnam. George Bush Sr. was directly involved. He is the one that fed the agency the poison kool aid and got them addicted to drug trafficking. Somewhat ironic that the agency’s headquarters is named after him. It forces us to question if there ever has been a good director of the CIA. A bitter tree cannot bring forth good fruit.

What went on in Mena Arkansas is relevant because it happened again in Mexico with Fast and furious. What happened in Vietnam is relevant because it is happening again in Afghanistan. The Taliban brought heroin production in Afghanistan to a grinding halt. After the allied invasion of Afghanistan that country has returned to being the world’s largest producer of heroin. Ever year after the invasion the production of heroin has steadily increased.

So, now that we have established that Gary Webb was right, we need to ask ourselves, if the CIA lied about drug trafficking, what else did they lie about? If the CIA broke the law then, what other laws have they broken and what else are they capable of? I’m not referring to 9/11. We all know about Operation Northwoods. We all know about the USS Liberty. We all know steel framed buildings don’t collapse at freefall speed into their own blueprint without the help of explosives blowing out the load bearing beams. Any architect or engineer will tell you that.

The conclusion of my Gary Webb series is going somewhere else. It takes us over the financial cliff. May the new era be an enlightened one where we learn from history and prevent the same criminal fraud from reoccurring over and over again.

Christmas Eve in Sarajevo

And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Drum roll please... Make that two... Then remix it one more time... Christmas Eve in Sarajevo comes to Vancouver to confront the gross injustices that continue behind closed doors. From our Holy land to yours - Peace. For the love of God man, open your eyes and Look at what we've done...

Local News

Sadly there was a murder in Kamloops this month on December 5th. A 16 year old girl from Terrace. Tragic. A meth lab was busted in Surrey. And a bizarre DUI in Kelowna but it wasn’t Giles this time. Giles is still in the pokey. Another snowboarder is rescued after going out of bounds on Cypress. Revelstoke too.

The government says it will contract out air to air refueling of the F-35’s if they buy them because they aren’t equipped to refuel those types of jets. Another reason not to buy them. I thought they said the deal was done. Looks like it was just put on hold while we recover from the shock of Harper selling our sovereignty to Communist China. A corporation that has it’s own police force and arrested people for their freedom of association.

Christmas Rain

We’ve talked a bit about Vancouver rain and how going out and about on a fall rainy day is a very Vancouver thing to do. Christmas rain is a bit different. It’s hard to get into the spirit of Christmas in the rain. I think it’s a little easier to get into the Christmas spirit in the Okanagan or back east where there’s snow. We occasionally get a white Christmas but not often. We recently had snow in the city but the rain quickly washed most of it away as usual.

Yet one thing we need to remember about Christmas rain is that as long as it’s below 8 degrees Celsius, all that Christmas rain in Vancouver is fresh powder on the local mountains. If you’re not there you miss it completely. As I’ve said before, driving up the mountains and crossing over the freezing point where the rain becomes snow is magical. After spending the day on the mountain in fresh snow then returning to the rainy city below is like waking up from a pleasant dream.



Nevertheless, today we went to the Vancouver Christmas market which is something fairly new. It’s a traditional German market with hand made crafts and lots of traditional food and drink. This picture is a local guy originally from Toronto dishing up some traditional German noodles. One is plain spaetzle for the vegetarians, the other is spaetzle fried with ham and Swiss cheese while the other is a different type of noodle with some potato mixed in. They’re quite nice. I’m not a big fan of sauerkraut though. I prefer the plain ones with a little glazed sugar. I like the spaetzle with ham and cheese. They had a girl from Switzerland glazing the cheese and the sugar with a small blow torch. I kid you not.



The chocolate fountain is a family favorite. I’m not big on fruit dipped in chocolate myself but I think the idea of melting chocolate and putting it through a fountain is cool. So even in the rain there are things to do to help you feel the spirit of Christmas.

I remember speaking with an Australian guy on one of the local mountains one winter. He said they’re not really big into the turkey dinner at Christmas back home. I asked him what a Christmas tradition was for him in Australia and he lit up and said we always have shrimp on the Barbie at the beach. Barbeque on the beach at Christmas I thought? Then I clued in, oh yeah Christmas is in the middle of your summer. That would definitely put a different perspective on it. Rolf Harris and the six white boomers. My father used to listen to that all the time at Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas, there’s a video going around of Nina Grewel saying how as a Sikh she is not offended by Christians celebrating Christmas. It’s a powerful video and pretty much sums up my definition of multiculturalism. Someone else’s traditions don’t diminish mine any more than my traditions diminish anyone else’s. She claims we can still use the C word and she is absolutely right. Merry Christmas everyone. May it be a peaceful one.

More guns from Fast and Furious

We have an update on Operation Fast and Furious that ties in with the December series on Gary Webb. Prime Time Crime reported on a LA Times article about more Operation Fast and Furious guns found after a drug cartel shoot out in Mexico that killed five on November 24 2012.

The Toronto Sun is reporting that Federal authorities were probing how a gun bought by George Gillett, a former top U.S. federal agent in Phoenix ended up at the scene of a fatal shootout that killed a beauty queen in Mexico.

Even Fox news asks the same question. The answer is simple. It was part of Operation Fast and Furious where government agencies were selling the Mexican cartel guns and bringing back tons of cocaine as payment. Bringing back tons of cocaine implies that they sold them a lot more than three guns.

Earlier this month ATF’s William McMahon was fired in the wake of the Fast and Furious investigation. McMahon’s lawyer said “Mr. McMahon was unfortunately the victim of a politically charged football match over an operation that was officially sanctioned.“ This goes right up to Obama and his own Oliver North, Eric Holder. Who I might add worked with Bill Clinton during the Mena Arkansas Arms Dealing Drug Trafficking scandal.

Last year ATF Director Kenneth Melson resigned as Obama retaliated against whistleblowers. My question is this, if Obama is going to pursue his gun control bill in the United States, will his government agencies stop selling arms to the Mexican drug cartels? Please advise. Arming criminals and disarming civilians is not gun control.

Stop the December Violence

Last night in what appears to be a domestic dispute, a man in Surrey shot a woman in front of her 10 year old son then put the gun on himself when the police tried to arrest him. What is wrong with these people? I realize December is a stressful month but for God’s sake it’s Christmas. Stop shooting people. Thankfully the woman survived and was hit in the shoulder and or wrist and the shooter didn’t shoot himself. Nevertheless all this violence both gang related and domestic needs some time with Dr. Phil.

Why would a man want to shoot his ex, then kill himself? She cheated on him? If that’s the case, you’re better off without that trailer trash. No need to murder her. How many guys out there cheat on their woman? If every woman shot every guy who ever cheated on them we would see a significant reduction in the population. This if I can’t have you no one can persona is messed up. Get over yourself. If it didn’t work out, then she’s not the one. Someone else is. There’s no need to wish misfortune on someone.

Same with all these gang shootings. You think they’d have a little respect for the season and for public safety but no. They keep shooting rival drug dealers over Christmas because they are consumed in their greed. That is what this is about. Make no mistake. There is no honour in greed.

Take Columbia. Farc offers a unilateral ceasefire during Christmas and the government of Columbia rejects their proposal. What is up with that? US troop backing the government of Columbia because someone discovered oil and now they are rejecting a December ceasefire. Go figure.

Then there was that horrible massacre in the States where a shooter opened fire on young school children. Columbine couldn’t do it. The Dark Night Rises didn’t do it. Killing young children at school did. Now Obama is talking about gun control and there seems to be enough support to push it through.

Murder is horrible. All the massacres are outrageous. Killing young children at school is heart breaking. Yet I’m not sure gun control is the answer. Criminals will always have access to guns. But I am sure there is way too much violence in December that is related to the gangs as well as to domestic disputes.

Within New Zealand with one in three women experiencing violence from a partner in their lifetime, while on average, fourteen women are killed each year by a member of their own family. No doubt it’s similar in Canada. This needs to be addressed.

Where are you Christmas?

Giuseppe Fetta shot in Montreal

More December shootings. Freddy posted this link in the other forum. December 17 Giuseppe Fetta, a man known to the police with mafia ties was shot in Northern Montreal. A police source said that in recent months Fetta is believed to have associated with Andrea (Andrew) Scoppa, 48, a convicted drug trafficker known to have ties to the Mafia in Montreal for several years. Giuseppe Fetta was referred to as a Rizzuto bodyguard.

According to court records, about a decade ago Scoppa got involved in a dispute with members of the Hells Angels over who controlled certain parts of northern Montreal and required the input of Mafia leaders to negotiate a settlement. How’s that settlement holding out now as the Hells Angels continue their violent control of the Canadian drug trade?

Mega Casino Misrepresentation

Gateway Casinos bussed in non Surrey residents for the public meeting to support their drug money laundering operation that required a $1.5 billion debt restructuring. Bribes and dirty tricks to support blood money. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. They're wearing the wrong shirts.
