Surrey rat caught with wig

CBC is reporting that "Metro Vancouver Transit Police have caught a man with a Canada-wide warrant and found a stash of suspicious items in his vehicle during a routine patrol. According to police, Albert Edgar Fontaine, 42, was pulled over in the 100 block of 132 Street in Surrey on Feb. 5 because his vehicle did not have proper insurance. Fontaine provided an alias and a fake ID, but officers discovered he had a Canada-wide warrant and took him into custody. After the arrest, it is alleged that numerous knives, a machete, a baseball bat, a wig, ski masks, handcuffs, a set of brass knuckles and a replica handgun were found in the vehicle, according to police. Fontaine's warrant was related to charges of kidnapping and use of an imitation firearm in 2016 in Penticton. He is also a suspended driver who is not allowed to own weapons."

lol the replica handgun was an airsoft pistol according to Global. The machete is pretty nasty but this is obviously just a thugs night out. No real firepower at all. The wig is interesting, It kinda looks like it was for a drag night out yo. The Transit police caught this guy in Surrey because he had expired insurance. He's clearly not a brain surgeon. Too bad the BC gang task force is as compromised as the EPS. Too bad they won't lift a finger to stop the fentanyl coming out of Shakerz supplying the Surrey Strip. Kinda makes all their press releases look fake.

Nanaimo man defrauded women on dating sites

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "A Nanaimo man, wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for allegedly defrauding women he met on dating websites, was arrested early Thursday morning. Nanaimo RCMP arrested 34-year-old Jordan Shephard after officers located him at 2:30 a.m. sleeping in a car parked outside a motel. Police say Shepherd sought out women between the ages of mid-20s to early 30s on social media and the Plenty of Fish dating website."

"Police said Shepherd would tell women he had lost his bank card or had forgotten it with a family member and ask the women to deposit a cheque — usually between $1,000 to $1,600 — from his company On the Rocks Surveying into their own accounts, and withdraw the corresponding amount for him. After receiving the money, he would disappear before the bank notified the women the cheque did not clear and that his company did not exist."

What a POS. Defrauding women. LOSER.

Salmon Arm Shooting

The Salmon Arm Observer is reporting that "The Salmon Arm RCMP are searching for the suspects who fired a gun at an apartment unit early this morning. At approximately 2:30 a.m. the RCMP received a call complaining shots were fired at a building on First Ave. SW. After arriving on the scene, officers confirmed multiple shots had been fired at an apartment unit, hitting an exterior wall and passing through a window. Two individuals were seen fleeing the scene in a light-coloured compact car."

"No one was injured. RCMP investigators spoke with the individual believed to be the intended target of the shooters. They believe the incident was targeted and related to the local drug trade."

Reno Lee's death was an execution

CBC is reporting that "Crown co-prosecutor Bill Jennings wrapped up his closing remarks Tuesday afternoon in the trial for three men accused in the shooting death and dismemberment of Reno Lee by arguing that the jury should find all three guilty of first-degree murder. Bronson Gordon, Daniel Theodore and Andrew Bellegarde have pleaded not guilty to murdering Lee and committing an indignity to a body. Police believe Reno Lee was killed on April 16, 2015, although they didn't find his remains in a shallow grave on Star Blanket First Nation until later that month. "

CBC is reporting that Reno Lee was murdered for a drug debt. Just like Bob Roth in Alberta. Chad Gordon of Regina was arrested in Edmonton. The Edmonton HAs are dirty as f*ck.

James Riach gets life sentence in Philippines

Kim Bolan is reporting that James Riach has received a life sentence in the Philippines for trafficking cocaine, crystal meth and ecstasy. That's too bad. I liked the Gingerbread man. Kinda bizarre how they refer to him as high profile and the Bacon scum as notorious. James Riach is a lot more notorious than the pig sh*t will ever be.

Obviously I don't support drug trafficking. However, James wasn't as bad as the others. It's like those young girls from Quebec sentenced in Australia for cocaine smuggling. Their life is gone now. Giving them a huge sentence won't stop the people they were working for. Will James Riach's harsh sentence be a deterrent for others to traffic drugs in foreign countries? Perhaps. It's a hard lesson to learn so it is. Crystal meth is a horrible drug.

Jarrod Bacon released early due to typo

I wasn't even going to mention this because pigsh*t is not newsworthy but since the third little piggy is in the news I will comment on it. CBC is reporting that "It was a '7' that was actually supposed to be a '9'. That mistake is now having ripple effects, not just on the life of Jarrod Bacon, but on the public's perception of the corrections system. In 2012, Bacon was sentenced to 12 years in prison, minus time served, for smuggling 100 kilograms of cocaine. He was supposed to serve nine years before being eligible for statutory release. But according to the Parole Board of Canada, that was recorded as seven years instead on a prison document. Because of that, Bacon was released early in February 2017."

"Bacon breached the conditions of his release a few months later and was taken back to prison. His statutory release was revoked. Somewhere along the way, the typo was discovered. Bacon then argued he never should have been released at that time and, therefore, can't be held responsible for the breach. The Parole Board of Canada's appeal division agreed. Bacon is now set to be released on the correct date in June 2018."

You people have got to stop using the word notorious for pig sh*t. Have a little self respect. These clowns are from the suburbs. They aren't from Surrey and they aren't welcome here. The Surrey Six was deplorable. No one here has any respect for any of them at all.

Although Jarrod isn't hated as much as his dead preppy brother or the brainless ork Jamie, his prognosis is not good. He's just a cocky little b*tch that is going to end up dead. In the real hood, he's the kind of guy they shoot first just because he thinks he's all that when he is very far from it.

I would hope that the UN affiliates don't shoot him dead but that's really out of my hands. I would also hope the Hells Angels would stop using him to traffic drugs since he is a heat magnet but that too is out of my hands. If he doesn't stop trafficking drugs I can't see him living very long when he gets out of prison. The only reason he lasted as long as he did is because the police put up a video camera outside his house and gave them 24 police protections. That was insane.

Last year CBC reported that "Jarrod Bacon did not want to be released to a halfway house because he feared his enemies would easily find and kill him." No love lost.

Recently when he was released early by *mistake* he was caught in a strip club with someone who had a criminal record. Everyone speculated that it was Gumby but the police didn't name the person he was with. He took his date to a strip club. Real classy. Those losers trade girlfriends like hockey cards. Like I said before stupid just isn't pretty.

The real villain in this case is his worthless father who encouraged his kids to be involved in the drug trade and financially benefited from it. His father had a good job but greed and materialism took over. He's just another piece of garbage waiting to be flushed down the toilet.

Motorists flocking to Washington state to flee Metro Vancouver gas prices

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Motorists flocking to Washington state to flee Metro Vancouver gas prices." That is simply a natural consequence of supply and demand. Normally I refuse to fill up in the US. I'm all buy Canadian. Only buying gas in Canada doesn't support Canada it supports Communist China. Since we let them take over the oil monopoly in Canada they can keep jacking up the prices as much as they want so right now this is the only alternative.

Remembering Bernhard Goetz and The Great Canadian Pharmaceutical Fraud

Most people here probably don't remember Bernhard Goetz but New Yorkers do. Back in the /70's and /80's the subways in New York City were very dangerous. They were full of violent crime and people would get mugged on them all the time. That's why Curtis Sliwa started a volunteer group to patrol the subways to help stop violent crime. Durring that time Bernhard Goetz shot four muggers on the subway and created quite the public stir.

Some saw him as a hero who finally stood up to crime. Others called him a vigilante. Curtis Sliwa and the Guardian Angels rallied to his support. I'm not saying what Bernhard Goetz did was right or wrong. I'm simply saying that is what New York was dealing with at that time period. Times have changed. New York has evolved. We have not. In many ways we have been left behind and our good intentions are what's holding us back.

Years ago a friend from High school who went to law school in New York came back to visit family and said to me you wouldn't recognize New York any more. They have graffiti proof trains and the crime problem doesn't exist any more. New York is safe now. That was hard for me to imagine. I could not conceive of a graffiti proof train in New York nor could I imagine a New York without violent crime. That's what New York was when I was there.

That miraculous transformation is what everyone refers to as the New York model. Most people attribute the success of the New York model to Mayor Giuliani but it really started before that with Mayor David Dinkins. Giuliani delivered the second crucial blow of enforcement that followed up Dinkins committee to investigate police corruption which as we later found out was rampant.

In New York they confronted crack cocaine they didn't promote it. What we are doing is wrong and is the reason the New York model has left us behind. The reason why we are trapped in the vice of harm promotion is because of the Pharmaceutical fraud that engulfs us.

In today's federal budget mention was made of the skyrocketing cost of medication. There is one simple reason for that. The government lets the pharmaceutical companies maintaining rigid drug patents so they can keep jacking the price up as much as they want. That is extortion. We need to promote generic drugs. That is why Barry Sherman and his wife were murdered. He helped provide Canadians with affordable medicine.

The New York Times reported that Daraprim went from $13.50 a Tablet to $750, Overnight. Chemotherapy That Costs $70,000 in the U.S. Costs $2,500 in India.

In 2015 Global reported that "a Canadian drug company bought the rights to two life-saving heart medications. That very day, the price of those drugs, Isuprel and Nitropress, increased by 525 per cent and 212 per cent, respectively." In 2017 Barry Sherman and his wife were murdered.



With regards to harm promotion, let's look at the methadone fraud. I have a source that claims any inmate can get a prescription of up to 200 milligrams of methadone. 30 milligrams is a lot. 200 milligrams is over the top. In support of that claim, the Vice is reporting that "the amount of methadone being prescribed to our country's inmates has gotten out of control."

My source claims the prisons are getting kickbacks from the methadone prescriptions which comes as no surprise since kickbacks are just a part of doing business in that tax paid industry. CTV reported that "A CTV News hidden-camera investigation has uncovered what appears to be a kickback scheme involving pharmacists and drug-recovery houses in B.C."

If we sincerely want to reduce the amount of fentanyl deaths in BC then we need to address the pharmaceutical fraud that is causing them. Then we need to start enforcing the law.

The Black Panther Rocks the Box Office

I saw the Black Panther movie tonight. Michael B. Jordan did an epic job as a villain. I prefer him as a street wise good guy and look forward to seeing Creed II but it was awesome. The character Black Panther first made his appearance in Captain America Civil War.

The Black Panther movie is well done. It's like a futuristic Lion King saga with swag. More importantly, it has a message that ties in with the theme of my book: "I think therefore I am. I feel therefore I act." The struggle between good and evil continues so it does.

When I was in New York back in the /80's I stayed with the Guardian Angels in Harlem at the 155th street Headquarters. Tut was a real life super hero. They called him the New York City secret weapon. Tut had swag. I was very naive back then. I had watched the movie Warriors a million times before I went to New York hoping to see some gang activity. I had also read the Nicky Cruz story Run Baby Run when I was young.

By the time I got to New York most of the gangs were all gone. I saw some Black Panther graffiti in Harlem and I asked the guys what they were. I said are they a gang? No they replied, they're a black power movement. Black power I thought to myself. Sounds good to me. I'm all for equal opportunity. Before I left New York, Tut taught me an important life lesson.

Tut knew I was going to travel around the world with next to no money in my pocket. He put a dollar bill in my hand and said "I'm going to tell you the same thing a wise man once told me. Take a look at that dollar bill. It doesn't say on it how you earned it. It doesn't say whether you were a garbage collector, ditch digger or an executive. Everyone's money looks the same."

Tut said everyone wants a nice flashy job on Wall Street. He said some people are too proud to work. He said no matter where you go you will always be able to find work if you're not too proud to take it." He was absolutely right. When I got to Israel I showed up at the kibbutz office with five dollars in my pocket. The lady was going to send me to one of the nice fancy kibbutz far away and I just shook my head and looked down. I said naw, I don't have enough money for a bus ticket all the way out there. Do you have anything closer?

She couldn't believe I had made it to the other side of the world with only five dollars in my pocket. She asked me what I was planning on doing if I wasn't able to get on a kibbutz. I just shrugged my shoulders and said, I noticed the youth hostel I was staying at was looking for a cook. I'm a chef by trade. I figured I'd be able to work there a while if I didn't get in here. She just shook her head and sent me on my way. It was an amazing experience so it was.

Like everyone else I've had a few setbacks in life. That's just reality. Character is seeing how we carry out a decision after the emotion of making that decision has past. Determination, fortitude - these are the tools that make men great. As Rocky Balboa said, "It's not how hard you can hit in life it's how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

In the words of Rare Earth, "I had my hand on a dollar bill and the dollar bill blew away. But the sun is shining down on me and it's here to stay. I put my faith in the people and the people let me down so I turn the other way and carry on any how." As I said before, I think therefore I am. I feel therefore I act. To thine own self be true yo. Keep the Faith.

If I could turn back the hands of time I wouldn't. I rather move forward.

Riding in Vancouver Snow

Well, winter breathes it's last breath. Vancouver got a dump of snow yesterday and overnight. It's actually quite nice. This morning I broke down and decided to try a rope trick I learned from an old timer who used to ride full seasons in Prince Rupert. He said he used to wrap rope around the tires in the snow for make shift chains. Old school trumps No school.

I thought it was a cool idea but I wasn't sure how it would work because if you wrap the rope diagonally across the tire, it wouldn't be very effective for traction. However, today I saw a YouTube video of a guy in Wales who made chains for his car out of a rope. He looped it through so that the rope crossed the tire tread horizontally. That made sense.

Obviously chains are better than rope because rope wears out really fast on dry pavement. I tried it out and it worked very well. Yesterday I had zero traction on the side streets but today I could start without having to sit on my back seat for traction. I actually had traction and I could actually brake. So I spent what's left of the snow bombing around on the side streets testing it out.



Alaska here we come. Mount Denali bound yo.

Zen and the Art of Civil Liberty. The future looks bright.
