The Surrey Winter Fest has now begun

I think the Thanksgiving Truce has some people confused. Some people are wondering if I have given up or if I have caved in to bullying. I can assure you neither is the case. Others understand the concept of redemption. Yet I will have to expand upon it for those who have misunderstood.

There will come a time for me to put this blog to rest and ride off into the sunset for a simpler life. Yet until then I have one more campaign to launch. "So if you want this encore then I need ya’ll to roar. What the hell are we waiting for? For one last time, make some noise."

The Kelowna Summer Jam wasn’t a music festival. It was a spotlight on crime in Kelowna. It targeted the Hells Angels and highlighted three senseless murders. Now I’m ready to launch the Surrey Winter Fest. It’s going to focus in on drugs at the Front Room and highlight Janice Shore’s brutal murder. That’s going to be the main focus of this next campaign. Yet it’s also going to touch on some hidden wonders of the season.

It’s more than a series. It’s going to be a kaleidoscope covering the good, the bad and the ugly. I'll conclude by showing you a place high above the desert plain where the streets have no name. We’re talking about ice baby, ice and snow not blow. This winter brace yourselves for one last ride. To pull this off I’m going to need your help. I want you to sing. I want you to tell me who killed Janice Shore.

There have been some new developments in that case and I can tell you right now it shocked me. Yet we need a few more pieces of the puzzle to bring justice home. The Front Room isn’t a homeless shelter, it’s a drug house. The Front Room is the epicenter of drug related violence in Surrey.

I can’t help but feel partly responsible for what it has become. 14 years ago the city of Surrey closed it down on a building code technicality. That was back when Doug McCallum was mayor and Godzilla was just one of his minions on council. I addressed City council with my young daughter at my side confronting them for what they had done asking each member their position on closing the homeless shelter. I told them I was going to make a web site and post their position on the closure on the web site and make it an election issue. After my presentation was over my young wise daughter leaned over to me and said your time wasn’t finished. That lady just didn’t want you to ask the mayor any more hard questions. Very insightful for such a young child.

It appears the council had concerns not about homeless shelters but about what this particular shelter had become. It has become clear that those concerns are now valid. I have spoken to many homeless who won’t go there or stay there because of it’s drug related violence which we are funding with our tax dollars.

We now have two alternatives. There are several other transition homes where no drugs are allowed. If we can’t get rid of the predatory drug dealers there that are exploiting the homeless and brutalizing them by giving them free drugs then beating the life out of them for payment, they we are going to have to shut that shelter down once and for all.

You know City Hall and the business development committee would love to shut it down. With enough public support they will close that shelter at the snap of the finger. No one likes putting the homeless on the street in winter. So this winter fest will be one last chance to clean up that shelter before it gets shut down permanently. Either way, we are going to shut that drug operation down once and for all. Buyer Beware.

When I think about Janice Shore’s murder it makes me numb. “I'm tired of being what you want me to be. Feeling so faithless lost under the surface. Every step that I take is another mistake to you and every second I waste is more than I can take. All I want to do is be more like me and be less like you.”

“I wanna run, I want to hide. I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside. I want to reach out and touch the flame where the streets have no name.” So can I get an encore, do you want more? For one last time I need y'all to roar. Janice Shore’s murder, call it in: IHIT 1 - 877 - 551 - 4448 Let’s shut it down g. Let’s shut it down.

Joey Verma found guilty of murder

Castanet is reporting that a jury of his peers has found Joey Verma guilty of the first degree murder of Britney Irving. He is automatically sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years. I guess that means no one has to shoot him now. Now if we can only address the people that hired him to kill her.

It’s pretty obvious who owned the clone show Britney was running that was busted. The question I have is if Joey had a debt and killed her to wipe out that debt, then why the hell didn’t they save the money and just give Britney some time to work off the loss from the clone show bust? Aside from being ruthless it’s bad business.

There’s much more to discuss including my next campaign but let’s just pause for a moment of silence. The verdict is very much revealing. Yet it doesn’t bring Britney back. Castanet reported that Britney’s mother sobbed as the verdict was read. No doubt she felt relief that justice hadn’t slapped her in the face after the loss of her daughter. Yet as any parent can imagine, it doesn’t bring back her daughter. Although life does not end at death, the life she had left to live was taken from her and will never be replaced. That’s why murder is such a serious offense.

Castanet is reporting that Joey showed no emotion when the verdict was read. Just like he showed no remorse when he saw pictures of her dead body in court. Just like he showed no remorse when he told Mike Roberts not to worries about it claiming she was just a junkie anyways. So now Joey is spending the next 25 years in prison. Don’t worry about it. He had no remorse for Britney. This is why the law has to have a consequence. For people like him who don’t have a conscience.

Rob Sidhu pleads guilty to exporting cocaine

Kim Bolan is reporting that former cop Rob Sidhu just plead guilty to conspiracy to export cocaine in a Seattle court. Apparently he copped a plea and pled guilty to exporting at least 500 grams as opposed to hundreds of kilos he was originally accused of. As we know Rob Sidhu was associated with Rob Shannon who was already convicted along with Jody York of smuggling BC Bud and cocaine across the border for the Hells Angles. Shannon and York were both in Weird Hal Porteous' ridiculous I’m on a boat rap video.

Surrey Urban Mission Grand Opening

Finally some good news. Remember hearing how the Surrey Urban Mission were getting chased around after being forced to relocate? Well the Surrey Leader announced last March that they finally found a new home at 10776 King George Boulevard. It required extensive renovations and it’s finally open for business. They are having their grand opening fund raiser October 26 from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Admission is by donation. They are accepting donations for a silent auction. This great program finally has a wonderful facility to house it. It is well worth supporting.

Malaysia bans the use of the word Allah by all non Muslims

This one’s kind of weird. The Vancouver Province and Time Magazine are reporting that a Malaysian appeals court upheld a government ban against the use of the word "Allah" to refer to God in non-Muslim faiths. That ban would be illegal in North America because it would violate the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights.

Once again wee see the importance of the separation of Church and State. Once again we see an Islamic government doing weird things that violate civil liberty. The sad thing is, Stephan Harper just gave Malaysia our Natural gas rights. Not only are we funding the Military expansion of Communist China every time we fill up with gas at the pump, now we are funding the military expansion of an Islamic government that has no regard for civil liberty every time we heat our homes. Stephen Harper is insane. Fire him.

Harper is turning Canada back into a colony. Now we are a colony of China and a colony of Malaysia. Selling oil or gas to other countries is good business. Giving them the rights to our natural resources to gouge consumers at will is not. Can we see what’s happening here? First Harper helps the oil and gas companies eliminate the competition in a free market. Then he gives that monopoly to foreign state owned companies. So much for our free republic. .

Red Lobsters selling crack in Nanaimo

The Nanaimo Daily News and the Vancouver Sun are reporting that Nanaimo RCMP announced on Tuesday they had arrested five men believed to have links to the Red Scorpions.

Officers found $60,000 in cash, ten ounces of crack cocaine, and two ounces of heroin in the vehicles. The next day, police searched a home and seized an additional $6,000 and some crystal meth and cocaine. While police say the group allegedly has ties to the Red Scorpions, they believe just one of them is an active member of the gang.

It was the second time this year an arrest involving the Red Scorpions in Nanaimo made headlines. A man with alleged links to the gang was arrested in January, when police seized cash and drugs.

The Red Scorpions started working for the Hells Angels after the Surrey Six murder. That’s when the Bacon brothers made the logo look like a cheap Karate school resembling the Red Lobsters.

Thanksgiving Truce

Well I’m feeling a little festive. A lot of people have viewed the post of Schrader with the puckered lips and painted nails. Evidently he would really like me to take that post down. I don’t want to reward unacceptable behavior but I’ll make a deal. I’ve taken the post down and made it a draft so it is offline. However, if he gets busted for selling crack again I click post and it goes back online.

Everybody needs a fresh start. After all it’s all about redemption. Changing, growing, progressing. They say some people will never change but the Tupac remix says don’t you believe it. That’s what this life is for. To give us the opportunity to learn, change and progress.

I think it’s pretty clear how I feel about threats to my family. Crossing that line makes me go ballistic. There are times that I do get really tired of doing the blog. This drug war is so shallow and pointless. Life has so much more to offer. That’s why I like to add other things like hiking, snowshoeing and kayaking.

I’m actually considering getting remarried sometime in the future. If and when that happens it means I’ll be setting the blog aside for a much simpler life. Until then perhaps there are things we all can still learn, myself included. The ability to forgive and repent makes us men. Repent simply means change. Progress. My image of hell is that of a dam stopping the flow of a river. Our progression is stopped. We stop learning, growing and progressing. That’s hell. Complete boredom. The absence of love, joy and peace which is what some refer to as the fruits of the spirit.

Deep down that’s what we all want. Yet we can’t experience any of those three things unless we are living a higher code. When we live a higher moral standard we find peace just like the Zen masters of old. Real love and real joy comes from following higher laws driven by service.

I have a lot to be thankful for. I’ve had a wonderful life. I was able to pick my kids up from school every day when they were young and now they are all grown up. I concur with the old timer that I looked up to when I was young. Having kids was the best thing I ever did. Parenthood can be a challenge alright, but nothing worthwhile in life is accomplished without overcoming challenges. If I get shot now it just won’t matter. Life doesn't end at death.

So Happy Thanksgiving. Shallom Shabat. Allahu akbar. La vie c’est bien.

Live, love, laugh. Life is short. Make it worth while.

Hells Angels raided in Melbourne

After a series of local shootings the police raided the Hells Angels in Melbourne Friday morning seizing firearms and ammunition. High ranking Hells Angels Peter Hewat also known as the Rat King as well as Stephen Rogers were arrested. Hewat is from the same chapter that was accused of rapeing and torturing a girl from Melbourne.



Two weeks ago a Hells Angels clubhouse in south east Melbourne was sprayed with an AK47 right after a bomb was found in a local business and after the Hells Angels sprayed a rival gang's tattoo parlour with bullets. Surprisingly it appears that the Hells Angels in Australia are bringing the Village People back. A daring move indeed in the face of such fierce local opposition.

Coalition warns about online surveillance bill

The Vancouver 24 hours is reporting that a new 30-group coalition is warning that ultra-controversial online surveillance legislation may return this fall. This warning comes after revelations about how Canada’s electronic spy agency hacked into Brazil's federal mining department and shared the intelligence with national energy interests. This was leaked by our friend Edward Snowdon. Canada surveillance agency spying for corporations. big surprise. The president of Brazil said "The United States and its allies must immediately stop their spying activity once and for all."

“Bill C-30, the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act, was quashed in February amidst widespread opposition, including from backbench Conservative MPs. The Protect Our Privacy Coalition, encompassing 30 groups which span the political spectrum from right to left, believes federal Justice Minister Peter McKay will try to re-introduce aspects of controversial snooping legislation when Parliament resumes this month.”

This is that crazy bill that Vikki leaks Towes said if you don’t support the bill you support pedophiles. Then when the media pointed out that it gave the police the authority to put people under surveillance who have not committed a crime, he said he was surprised to hear that was in the bill. Either he’s an idiot and didn’t read the bill he was pushing or he is a liar.

The Communications Security Establishment Canada agency has come under fire for it’s mandated violations of the charter of rights as well as their new $4 billion headquarters in Ottawa. The price tag keeps expanding. First they said it was $1 billion. Fiscal irresponsibility violating civil liberty. Here comes the iron curtain.

Vancouver shooting victim identified

Early Friday morning there was another shooting in Vancouver. The Vancouver Sun as well as the Vancouver Province have identified the murder victim as La Van Truong Phan. Police found Phan with gunshot wounds in the backyard of a home. He died shortly afterwards in hospital. They claim he was associated with gangs and the drug trade and his attack appeared to be a targeted killing. Kim Bolan is reporting that Phan had a criminal record dating back to 2001 and had been charged several times with trafficking in Nanaimo. This is Vancouver’s fifth murder of the year. Surrey, is well past that now.
