Reflecting on the violence in Gaza and the Ukraine

It's hard to watch the violence in Gaza and the Ukraine on the news and not be moved. It's sad and discouraging. World peace seems like a pipe dream as we watch how the old law of an eye for an eye leaves everyone blind. In more ways than one. The violence in Gaza concerns me deeply because it is an example of the extremism we often face in the world.

Religion isn't the problem since religion teaches vex not the stranger that sojourneth with thee. The problem is hypocrisy and the lack of real religion or more accurately the lack of humanity. When humanity is replaced with brutality, everyone is diminished. Hamas indiscriminately firing rockets into Israel is wrong. So is Israel's brutalization of Gaza. They are both wrong.

In the previous conflict, Israel used white phosphorous in Gaza. That was insane. In the previous conflict, Israel would issue a warning where it was going to strike to disable a Hamas rocket launching location and Palestinian women would run to the site to increase civilian casualties to increase world outrage. That was insane.

In this conflict ground troops have invaded and the borders are closed to prevent more rockets from being smuggled in. The civilians have no place to go. There was one tragic scene in Gaza how a man was returning with aid workers to his home which had been destroyed by shelling. He was shot dead by a sniper. That heartless act was cruel, brutal and unnecessary.

The number of children in Gaza that are being killed every hour in Gaza is a colossal concern. That kind of brutality is morally wrong. That kind of heartlessness disassociates us from what humanity really is. To ere is human to forgive is divine. Forgiveness is a distant dream right now. Right now we need to stop the violence. That would be godly.

When discussing the recent conflict a friend said it's hard to believe the Jews are the "chosen" people by the way they are acting. I said I don't like the term chosen. I think that is a translation error. Historically the Jews were known as the covenant people. In the tabernacle in the wilderness Moses brought the children of Israel into the bond of the covenant. Israel promised to serve God while God promised to help them and stated that through them all the nations of the earth would be blessed. Leviticus was a harsh reminder of the blessings and cursing of obedience.

Indeed, when looking at the brutality in Gaza it's hard to think the Jews are keeping that covenant. There's group called JAG - Jews Against Genocide. They have been holding a protest against the violence by placing mounds of children's dolls around the world. Outside Israel’s holocaust memorial museum they set the dolls on fire. This is a powerful image and reminds us of the humanity we aspire to. That is godly.

There's another group called Jews against Zionism and I don't like the term. Zionism isn't bad. Evicting Palestinians from their home isn't Zionism. The term Jews Against Genocide is a more graphic visual image and is something everyone can agree with.

I don't share the same hate of Israel that many foster. Referring to them as Israeli scum and promoting hate to justify another holocaust is not something I support. Yet clearly Israel is not always right. They wouldn't have been carried away captive in Babylon if they were always right. God, like Abraham Lincoln supports them when they are right and parts with them when they are wrong the same as he does for everyone else because God is not a respecter of persons. In every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Martin Luther King had a Dream. He had a dream that one day a man would,be judged by the content of his character not by the colour of his skin. He had a dream that one day black children and white children along with Jews and Gentiles would join hands and sing the hymn free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last. The top picture was taken of two children who met at a protest in Times Square in New York on July 17, 2014. Martin Luther king's dream has become a reality in my community. I hope it does in yours as well.

As for the Ukraine, the west has no right to shell or invade the east while the east has no right to shell or invade the west. The east has every right to defend itself. The shooting down of a passenger jet was a tragic mistake. In Russia civilians set up memorials saying we are so sorry, please forgive us. The thugs in Eastern Ukraine and in the Western Ukraine need to be mindful of the values held sacred by a free republic.



On both sides, terror and confusion

The Deception is well Funded

Two local blog readers sent me a link to this Vancouver Sun article commenting on how ridiculous it is. However, it's not just ridiculous, it's offensive. It claims that a City of Surrey report suggests that when considering population growth, crime is down. That is an offensive lie paid for with tax dollars to promote a bad politicians' political career. Shame.

The reason we know it's a lie is because we live here. That's why it's so offensive. Last year was the highest number of homicides in the city. Ever. Many of those homicides were the result of the city failing to act upon ongoing complaints about criminal activity. When Dianne Watts ran against Doug McCallum she promised us the world with regards to crime reduction and delivered nothing. All she delivered was bullying and censorship.

A year ago if you dared say anything against Dianne Watts you were bullied and censored. After the outrage in Newton over residents and business's ongoing complaints about drug related violence in that area falling on deaf ears, the media finally started allowing parts of the truth to leak through about the Dianne Watts fraud.

We all know how easily crime statistics can be manipulated especially when you suppress the reporting of those statistics in key areas like Whalley, Newton or the DTES. Closing down police stations at night suppresses crime statistics. In high crime areas things are so bad crime often goes unreported.

The recent shooting in a known drug house is a prime example of the ongoing problem. Neighbors report crime and nothing is done about it until it results in a shooting and Godzilla says let's create a task force to figure out what the problem is. I'll tell you what the problem is, you aren't responding to the crime that the residents report. That's the problem. Letting drug dealers sell crack in specific areas creates a huge ripple effect of crime.

There's been a lot of lying and bullying going on in Surrey City Hall. As soon as Barinder Rapsode came clean and said you're right, we need to do more about crime in Newton, Dianne Watts bullied her and even clicked like on a facebook post calling her a whore.

After the huge voter turn out opposing Gateway's mega casino in Whiterock Dianne Watts lied and said she never supported it. It took a resident to write in to the paper and point out the city hall minutes that proved she was lying. She had supported it all along until she was caught off guard and had to vote as the chair to break the tie. A representative from Gateway also wrote in pointing out that Dianne Watts was lying and that she had supported the project all along. That's why they bought the rural land in the first place. She promised to flip it for them just like the Campbell Heights Industrial Park.

It is absurd for Dianne Watts to use tax dollars to rewrite history and pretend she did a good job in Surrey and reduced crime. She left because she knew the honeymoon was over and the residents were upset with her saying one thing and doing another. Spending all that money on an extravagant City Hall and on all those exclusive trips was a waste of tax dollars when we really needed more police to address the drug related crime she refused to deal with.

Even her car accident was a scam. The media falsely reported that another vehicle ran a red light and T-boned the mayor's car when in reality the mayor's car t-boned the other vehicle. The mayor claimed the other party ran the red light but the other party sued her claiming she was the one that ran the red light and they settled out of court. The problem is, the locals who know the area knew the mayors story wasn't believable because it was a demand light and she was on the side street. For her to have the green light she would of had to come to a complete stop first to trigger the light to change. If she had come to a complete stop, she couldn't have had the velocity to t-bone and damage the other car like that. In this situation either the mayor or the other party was lying. Locals who know the area think she was the one who was lying because her story didn't make sense. Dianne Watts' car accident kinda of sums up her term in office. One big lie.

It's like Christy Clark's commercials during the Superbowl paid for with tax dollars. Or Enbridge's multitude of commercials showing all the beautiful coastline they are going to screw up with their next oil spill. Their monopoly was created with tax dollars so in essence we're paying for those ridiculous commercials.

It's sad when politicians use the media to lie to the public. We know that the papers in England tend to be tabloids and that Murdoch's Mystery has a history of endorsing specific candidates and only printing articles that support those candidates. We had this delusion that the press was free and didn't pull stunts like that. It's amazing how much the media can be influenced through advertizing dollars. At least there is free speech on the internet. For now.

In contrast, Kevin Diakiw, from the Surrey Leader is reporting that "Surrey recorded the highest level of violent crime out of any Lower Mainland municipality last year. That's according to the Police-Reported 2013 Crime Severity Index (CSI) released by Statistics Canada on Wednesday, July 23. Out of the 18 Lower Mainland policing areas with populations of more than 10,000, Surrey had the highest level of violent crime."

Gang Task force in Kelowna

Castanet is reporting that the Gang Task Force are in Kelowna this summer and have issued a warning to gang members that the Kelowna Summer Jam is still in effect. They'll even be on the water to enforce boating safety rules.

Rule number one: Don't drive around like an asshole picking fights with civilians in the name of the Hells Angels with Spike's endorsement boasting about your support for the Bacon Brothers who everyone hates. You'll get your ass shot up pretty fast if you do that again.

Let's take a count of casualties... Randy Naicker (Independent Soldiers was at the Castle fun Park meeting in kevlar before the Surrey Six murder) - Dead. Jonathon Bacon - Dead. Larry Amero - shot with his buddy Jonathon Bacon. Went into exile now in prison waiting trial for two huge drug rings out of Montreal and Australia. James Riach (Independent Soldiers was with Randy Naicker at the Bacon Brother's meeting before the Surrey Six) Shot with Larry Amero and Jonathon Bacon. Went into exile in the Philippines. Now in hiding from the Mexican cartel. Larry Amero's friends sure don't have a very long life expectancy.

So if you see that ridiculous boat Steroids and Silicone on the water this summer stay far away from it before someone blows it out of the water with an rpg. Steroids don't make you bullet proof idiot. The police will be on Pitt Lake as well making it safe to paddle up Widgeon Creek.

Another shooting in Surrey

Scan BC is reporting that #Surrey #RCMP are investigating a shooting at 18700 60A Ave. A male was shot inside of a house. Suspect fled on a motorcycle. Turns out the shooting took place around 4:00 - 4:30 PM and the victim was shot in the leg. It certainly wasn't a professional hit. The shooter sped off in a panic on a Japanese motorcycle racing accoss the lawn and speeding off without a helmet trying to put something into his pocket.

The neighbors refer to it as the drug house on the corner. The house is known to the police. It's been a known drug house since winter when the police had it under surveillance and executed a search warrant. The neighbors claim there are cars coming and going around the clock and that it's still a drug house. Somewhat surprising in that neighborhood. It's close to the Langley border and is in a very nice area.

Domestic Assault turns to Murder

The Link is reporting that Baldev Singh Kalsi, 66, leader of the Gurdwara Sahib Brookside, was taken into police custody after his wife, Narinder Kaur Kalsi, was found in severe medical distress at their home in South Surrey a wek ago last Sunday. Now she has died in the hospital and he has been charged with second degree murder.

He has since been kicked out of his position as Temple president and was beaten up in prison. It's not surprising since everyone hates a woman beater. My question is this: why is it bad when a brown guy beats a woman but it's OK when white gang bangers or members of the Hells Angles do? The answer is simple. It's not. Yet there's a long list of white gang bangers that have beaten their wives. Do we ostracize them as well? We should.

Donnie McWhirter, Don Lyons, Dave Revel and the ex husband of Kerri Krysko join Baldev Singh Kalsi in the wife beater trash list. "What we do in life echos in eternity." Gladiator

RCMP shoot unarmed man in Manitoba

West Coast Native News is reporting that the RCMP shot an unarmed man at the Norway Cree First Nation Children’s Baseball Game in Manitoba on Sunday afternoon in front of 200 witnesses including children. CBC reported that witnesses told CBC News the man, Evan Cromarty, who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, appeared to be unarmed and was holding his arms up when a Mountie shot at him. “There's a hundred maybe 200 people out here," he said. "And everybody saw that — not just me. A whole bunch of us saw that and the kids were traumatized."

Witness Annie Ettawacappow told the Winnipeg Free Press "I was outside my house. I was watching and he was running toward the field... " She said she saw two RCMP cruisers arrive and two officers come out with their weapons drawn. "A cop pointed a gun at him," she said. "I saw him put up his hands." The police told him to "freeze," she said. Ettawacappow said Cromarty kept his hands up and was walking backwards. "He was walking away with his hands up."

She said only one of the officers fired his weapon and she heard four shots. "He went down and fell to the ground. He started twitching," Ettawacappow said, adding she doesn't think Cromarty was armed, which Evans echoed. "He had no weapons on him," Evans said. "I thought he was dead," she said.

The Winnipeg Free Press reported that there were two games at the Rossville Diamond Sunday. One involved 12-year-olds and the other 17-year-olds. Sounds like he didn't obey their direct command at the snap of their finger again. Sounds like more RCMP officers need some time with Doctor Phil to prevent these outrageous actions.

Cocaine conviction in St. John's Newfoundland tied to BC

CBC is reporting that two cocaine dealers in St. John's Newfoundland were convicted after a nine-week trial by jury. Victoria residents Peter Blok-Andersen and Ben Strongitharm were arrested following a four-month joint drug investigation launched in 2009 by the RCMP and RNC dubbed Operation Razorback.

In December 2010, The Telegram reported that two BC men named Evan Brennan-Smith and Jacob Hauge were given lengthy prison sentences for their involvement in a cocaine ring dubbed Operation Razorback where 9 kilos of cocaine were seized.

In October 2010, Andrew Green of B.C. was convicted of possessing cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. November 2010, Zachary Hill, also of B.C., was given a six-year prison sentence. Other Victoria, B.C., residents facing charges in Newfoundland are brothers Julian Strongitharm, 28, and Ben Strongitharm, 23, and Peter Blok-Andersen, 28.

This bust was tied to Victoria and Saanich. Victoria A News video.

Surrey Trailer Park Shooting

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that a 28 year old woman was shot in the leg at a trailer park in the 8200 block of King George Blvd this morning. She got in an argument at a convenience store parking lot near 80th Ave with someone in a dark-coloured SUV about 3:30 a.m. The vehicle followed her to the trailer park and shot her. Another Surrey trailer park. This isn't the first time this trailer park has been in the news. Arresting the crack dealers is a civic concern.

The Abbotsford Police Department is reporting that there was also a shooting in Abbotsford 3:00 AM this morning at 2100 block of Beaver Street. One male was taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries as a result of the shooting.

Outlaw Bikers: Angels Descending

I just saw part of an episode of Outlaw Bikers: Angels Descending. I didn't realize one of the prison guards they murdered in Quebec was a woman and that after Mom Boucher ordered the hit on the prison guards he also ordered one of the guys who did the hit murdered to eliminate witnesses. Andre (Toots) Tousignant was shot and burned. No L & R there. Just like the Vancouver Christmas of 1995. They wanted the guy that did the hit to kill his co accused right after the murder to eliminate witnesses. Being a hit man for the Hells Angles is risky business indeed. I guess that's why so many of them flip after the club betrays them.



Interesting to note at 29 minutes into the movie, is that David Giles standing beside Mom Boucher? It sure looks like Skelator. How the dirty have fallen. Interesting to hear reports that Mom Boucher has been kicked out in bad standing. Also interesting to note was the the creation of the police unit HARM. HA - Hells Angels, RM - Rock Machine which put pressure on the club's business. It was very successful. Just like what Bob Deasey described in Ontario.

Skeletor's First Stolen Motorcycle

Mom Boucher's political history

Philip Babajko and the Naiwa Rebels break into Ontario

The Ontario Hells Angels aren't known for being very bright. What they are known for is drug trafficking. It was the Ontario Hells Angels who were granted permission to murder one of their "brothers" from a puppet club called LHS (Loyalty, Honour, Silence) to take over the Thompson drug trade which triggered the Winnipeg gang war. No L&R there. Just greed and betrayal. LHS had some First Nation brothers in it as well.

The First Nations and the Hells Angels have always had a hit and miss relationship. Some First Nation gangs like the Manitoba Warriors oppose the Hells Angels. Others like Red Alert kiss their ass and work for them. In Ontario the Hells Angels use First Nation members to smuggle contraband cigarettes. It's always about the money. In 2009 the Hells Angels used the Rice compound as a base for trafficking in contraband tobacco and crack cocaine.

Thunder Bay has a history of Hells Angels and their puppets selling drugs. In 2006 27 arrests were made of Hells Angels and associates for drug trafficking. 5 actual members. The rest were associates. John Tsekouras was also charged in a kidnapping and murder plot.

Well in Thunder Bay the Hells Angles are trying to make a come back by conning the local First Nations. Gary Bruce Lamont is a local contact who has been charged with sexual assault. He was in court again July 15th. Lamont was questioned in the investigation of the December 1984 murder of Scott Dove which remains unsolved.



The name of the new puppet club is the Naiwa Rebels. They're from Montreal and are under the leadership of Philip Babajko. Philip is the National President and wears Trois Rivieres support gear. I don't want to be mean but I can tell you this is not Trois Rivieres' finest. I've been to Trois Rivieres. It's a wonderful place. This is Trois Rivieres Trash. Every city has trash. Surrey sure does. They represent the city's dirt. Scuzzy criminals who aren't very bright.



Philip likes to pose with strippers. That poor girl looks like she's going to throw up. This guy is butt ugly and has that mentally diminished look about him. Tannant might have been a dweeb but at least he wasn't stupid. This guy looks like Robert Pickton - not very bright. Being puppets to the Ontario Village Idiots is bad enough but being a finger puppet to a butt ugly mentally diminished low life shows no self respect whatsoever. Good luck with that. Some things money just can't buy.



Randy Jones, Bob Green, Tony Pires... those guys are the businessmen,. This guy is not.
