Kinder Morgan Pipeline Conflict - Solved

Update: Foshan Yoshida Casting Material Co., Ltd is a Chinese based company that sells petroleum coke. For real. The same stuff that caused a toxic cloud in Detroit. The same stuff they just kicked out of Chicago. It is the byproduct from refining Alberta Tar sands sludge. Now a company in China is trying to sell it. Who knows, maybe they'll start putting it in toothpaste.

All joking aside, if someone could find a use for petroleum coke it would save the planet and save our economy. I don't see why they can't grind it up and put it in concrete. It's just a rock for god's sake it's not radioactive. If you ground it up into a powder it would change the colour of the concrete and make it darker. The next generation for concrete towers. Super concrete :)

CBC is reporting that "Kinder Morgan's $6.8-billion, 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain pipeline will move a mix of oil products from Edmonton to a terminal in Burnaby, B.C., near Vancouver, where it will be exported to markets in Asia." Just to be clear, twinning the existing pipeline for tar sands oil is not for domestic consumption. Which reaffirms that the second recent spike in the price of gas at the pumps in Vancouver is fraudulent. This is why we need to nationalize our oil. The foreign ownership of our oil is committing fraud and extortion with our money.

China is banning fossil fuel cars. That makes the urgency of the second pipeline to Vancouver questionable. People say if we don't approve the second pipeline they'll just send the tar sands oil to be refined in Texas. Why would that be a bad thing? That just simply means the second pipeline to Vancouver is not needed. The Keystone pipeline expansion has beeen approved.

The thing I don't like is arrogance and entitlement. We are being competently f*cked over by the oil monopoly at the pumps and that needs to be addressed. China and the US pay less for our oil than we do. Norway has a much better model.

Update: Kinder Morgan suspending non-essential activities for the Trans Mountain pipeline

Natural gas, however, is worth supporting. It is much cleaner than coal.

New Update: The Premier of Alberta says the Provincial government will build the pipeline if Kinder Morgan pulls out and the opposition agrees. That's a great idea. It's a step towards nationalization so it is. The Provincial government can form it's own oil company and the profits from that company can go to tax revenue. Now that is good business. Just like Norway.

However, the arrogance, entitlement and the extortion needs to come to an end. John Horgan has a valid point. He states "I would prefer she invest in refining capacity." Refining the tar sands crude is the concern that still needs to be addresses.

Kinder Morgan Pipeline Conflict - Solved

Alberta has gone about this deal in the completely wrong way. Trade agreements are built upon mutual trust. If you want to do business with someone first you have to build a relationship of trust. Then you have to negotiate and offer them something they want. When they express a legitimate concern you help to resolve that concern. You don't throw a temper tantrum making absurd demands of entitlement filled with threats and extortion.

John Hogan is not the villain here. Rachel Notley is. Alberta tar sands has just been kicked out of Chicago and Detroit because of the public protests over the heath hazards from the mountains of petroleum coke that is a byproduct of refining the tar sands crude. John Horgan expressed a simple concern about the volume of crude coming into BC and Rachel Notley freaked saying Alberta was boycotting BC wine. That's pretty bad people skills. All she had to do was reassure him they would take his concerns seriously and resolve them. She did the exact opposite and showed us why not having a proper agreement in place is a bad idea.

If you want to build something through our backyard you have to have our permission. If you don't have our permission you can't build anything in our back yard. It really is that simple. Previously we were told that if there is a rupture in the pipeline and oil spills into BC's fresh water, Alberta will not pay to clean it up. That's not very nice. Why would we ever agree to something like that?

If you want to build a pipeline through our back yard you have to pay the piper and obtain our permission. Instead of obtaining our permission, Rachel Notley ran to Ottawa demanding Ottawa forces the pipeline through without our permission without resolving any of our concerns. That is straight up Communism. No wonder China is taking over the Alberta Tar sands.

Another flaming concern is they jacked up the price of gas at the pump in Vancouver twice just to extort us. That has shown us why we cannot agree to this pipeline without an trade agreement that protects consumers in British Columbia from that kind of extortion in the future.

If you want to build this pipeline you have to return to the negotiating table and negotiate a trade agreement. To earn back our broken trust you have to show us an act of good faith. You have to take back the last two unwarranted price jumps at the pump and guarantee a good price for our gas. We are not going to agree to anything until we get that term written down on paper.

You had my support but your childish temper tantrum lost it. Now you must earn back our trust by showing us some good faith as opposed to threats, demands and extortion. If you refuse to do that the deal is dead in the water. If you do that, the deal still has a chance but your childish tantrums have to end and you have to negotiate a trade agreement that resolves our concerns.

No Justice, No Peace.



Alberta tar sands pipelines already exist to Chicago and Detroit.



Piles of tar-sands waste in Chicago are pissing people off

Koch-owned tar sands waste piles up in Chicago after Detroit cloud

"The substance made headlines earlier this year when a pet-coke pile that was three stories high and one block long created an ominous black cloud that floated over Detroit, Michigan. Citizens in nearby Windsor complained that they experienced respiratory problems and other ailments when the pet-coke infiltrated their water supply and floated through open windows. The byproduct, which is approximately 90 percent carbon, has started creating similar problems along the Calumet River, which runs from South Chicago to Gary, Indiana."

Advertising Update

Recently I announced that for the first time in 9 years I am allowing commercial ads on my blog. For the most part the ads are very credible. However, there appears to be a small glitch in the system as some of the ads I have blocked keep poping up on my blog mixed in with the others.

If you see an ad that says download something, dont. I have blocked all those and if they are appearing they are getting around the block. Common sense still prevails. Recently this ad popped up which is an illegal fraud:



It's a money making scam run on the smartminds.life web site. Only the root domain doesn't show the scam so you can't report them. They set up specific urls within that domain and advertise those. The one on my bog linked to the screen shot in the top of this post impersonating CBC.

On that page they illegally use the CBC trademark and impersonate them. The way you can tell it isn't CBC is by looking at the root domain in the url which says smartminds.life instead of cbc.ca. Like I said most of the ads are very credible. However a few scams are slipping through the block and as always, common sense is needed for any safe surfing on the Internet. Buyer Beware.

Update: OK I figured out how to block an adwords account not just the ad so that should solve the problem. However, since scams create new websites faster than the Hells Angels think up new names for puppet clubs, some new ones may slip through before I have a chance to block them. In which case common sense would prevail. Cheers.

McGregor Madness

The world is stunned thinking Conor McGregor is on crystal meth. At least then he would have an excuse for his deplorable tirade that has killed the integrity of the UFC movement for good.

The Business Insider is reporting that "Conor McGregor wreaked havoc at a UFC press conference on Thursday when he and a team of men stormed Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and attacked a bus carrying several fighters slated for this weekend's UFC 223 event."

"McGregor and his team made their way to the loading dock of Barclays and caused a fracas, throwing guard rails, trash cans, hand dollies, and other loose objects at the bus. McGregor struck the bus with a hand dolly, shattering glass, and causing lacerations to lightweight fighter Michael Chiesa. Flyweight fighter Ray Borg also reportedly suffered injuries to his eye from the glass. Both fighters have been dropped from their fights this weekend."

"While there was initially considerable confusion about the attack and McGregor's motivation, in the aftermath, what led to the incident has become clearer. MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani reported on Thursday that earlier this week, Russian MMA fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is scheduled to fight this weekend, confronted Artem Lobov, a teammate of McGregor's who was also scheduled for a bout this weekend, at a hotel. According to Helwani, there is a long history between the two sides. Helwani reported that McGregor's attack on the bus, which was carrying Nurmagomedov, was in "retaliation" for the confrontation at the hotel."

"UFC president Dana White confirmed the report on Fox Sports 1's 'First Things First,' saying McGregor flew several people to New York from Ireland when he heard of the incident at the hotel. 'Artem Lobov, who is on the undercard, is a very, very close friend of Conor McGregor,' White said. "He got into an altercation with Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team. When Conor found out, he loaded up the plane full of guys from Ireland, flew over here, and coordinated this attack." White has been critical of McGregor since the incident, calling it "the most disgusting thing that has ever happened" in UFC history and questioning McGregor's thinking and behavior. White said he spoke to McGregor and that McGregor apologized for hurting fighters not involved in the feud, but was not sorry for his actions, saying he believed it was necessary."

There you have it. No shame, no remorse. Do I have to renounce my Irish heritage now that a handful of idiots were running around like Ian Paisley on the 12th of July embarrassing the nation? Ireland is better than that. Much better. That is not how things were done in the old country. Back in the day if you had a beef with someone you took them aside in a back alley where there are no cameras, no police and no witnesses so you could deal with it in private. Flying in a mob to terrorize a few lightweights on a bus is cowardly.

Nobody likes it when someone takes a cheap shot in hockey. Well this was a cheap shot that set the movement back further than anyone thought possible. They say pride cometh before the fall and great shall be the fall thereof. I will never watch Conor McGregor again. Not even in professional wrestling. He is an embarrassment to society. His career is over.

Canada expels British and American Diplomats

We should change the name of this blog to Fraud Watch because the perpetual frauds in the MSM are never ending. Global is reporting that "The four Russian diplomats expelled from Canada last week in retaliation for the poisoning of a former double agent on British soil may have been involved in a smear campaign last year against Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland." OK let's set the smear allegations aside to look at the real problem.

Time Magazine reported that "The Trump administration expelled 60 Russian diplomats on Monday and ordered Russia’s consulate in Seattle to close, as the United States and European nations sought to jointly punish Moscow for its alleged role in poisoning an ex-spy in Britain." Now Canada is following suit. AYFKM? If we only had a brain.

Sergei Skripal is a former MI6 spy. He is also a former Russian military intelligence officer who acted as a double agent for the UK's intelligence services during the 1990s and early 2000s. In December 2004, he was arrested by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) and later tried, convicted of high treason, and sentenced to 13 years in prison. He settled in the UK in 2010 following the Illegals Program spy swap. They could have killed him during the trial.

On 4 March 2018, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, who was visiting him from Moscow, were poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent in England. They survived the attack. MI6 and the CIA are blaming Russia. It is possible it was Russia but it is also possible it was MI6 or the CIA. I'd say it's 50 / 50 one or the other. Treason is a pretty serious offence and Sergei was without question guilty of treason. In Canada or the US people convicted of treason used to be hanged.

However, there is also a distinct possibility that it wasn't Russia and that they were set up. The possibility of a set up given the recent absurdity of the anti Russia propaganda coming out of the CIA right now would shift the probability of culpability to the West from 50% to 80%.

Why would Russia want to kill him now after they agreed to a spy swap years ago? What could he possibly reveal that he hadn't already revealed? Russia hacked the US election? GMAFB. That is absurd and Skripal was long out of the loop by then. What could he possibly reveal that someone would want hid? That the CIA made fake terrorist attacks in Chechnya to help Putin get elected? We already know that. The movie the November Man was based on a true story.

It's far more likely that he has dirt on MI6. My point is, expelling Russian diplomats from Canada over this is absurd. MI6 executed Dr. David Kelly not for treason but for exposing the MI6 treason in Iraq. The CIA executed Gary Webb not for treason but for exposing the CIA's treason creating the US crack epidemic in the /80's. If we are going to expel Russian diplomats over the Sergei Skripal incident, we then need to expel British diplomats for the murder of Dr David Kelly and American diplomats for the murder of Gary Webb.

Someone once said take the board out of your own eye before you take the spec from your neighbors eye. After you remove the board from your own eye, you will be able to see more clearly to remove the spec from your neighbors eye.

The CIA always needs to create a dramatic boogeyman to district the world from their drug trafficking network and the dirty deeds they are doing around the world. Right now Russia is their boogeyman and it is difficult to believe. The Communist Party of China is executing political prisoners to order for organ harvesting. Why are we not expelling diplomats from China over that or for the torture of a Canadian Citizen who has been arrested in China for her religious beliefs? All this Russia paranoia is smoke and mirrors to distract us from the real Boogeyman the Communist Party of China. That is who the CIA is really working for.

Fraud is what's killing ICBC

In today's Vancouver Province a column by John Chant asked "What’s killing ICBC - and should it be saved?" We all know the answer to that question. Fraud is killing ICBC. The same fraud that column is perpetuating.

The BC Liberal government extracted a $1.3 billion dividend from ICBC to balance Christy Clark's fake fudgeit budget. Now they are saying ICBC needs to be restructured because they are $1.3 billion in debt. We're not that stupid. As Peter Rose said ICBC is breaking even. There is no emergency. There is just another fraud created by the BC Liberals.

The BC Hydro fraud is even worse. That needs to be dealt with ASAP.

Communist China torturing Canadian citizen for her religious beliefs

"Falun Gong practitioners and supporters will rally outside of the Chinese consulate 11:30 am- 12:30 Friday April 6, 2018 at the 3300 Block of Granville street, Vancouver to call on the Chinese government the unconditional immediate release of 52 year-old Canadian citizen and businesswoman, Ms. Qian Sun, who was illegally arrested on February 19th 2017 for her faith in the spiritual discipline Falun Gong."

"Reports detail how she has faced abuse, torture, and recent intense brain washing sessions from March 12-22nd to have her renounce her faith. According to family both lawyers representing Ms. Sun have dropped the case recently due to pressure and intimidation from China’s Justice Bureau who has now fast tracked the case to be heard on April 9th."

Anastasia Lin made a video about this case. There is nothing democratic about torturing political prisoners for their religious beliefs. The archaic atrocities of Communism is outdated.

Chinese ambassador calls for Canada's cooperation in U.S. trade fight:

Release Qian Sun and we can talk about it.

El Chapo had a .50 cal sniper rifle from Fast and Furious

CBS is reporting that "One of the guns that Mexican officials say was found at the hideout of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has been found to be associated with Fast and Furious, a failed "gun-walking" operation, according to the U.S. Justice Department. The department said in a letter to Congress that a .50-caliber rifle that Mexican officials sent for tracing after Guzman's arrest in January has been connected to Fast and Furious."

A .50 caliber sniper rifle in the hands of El Chapo thanks to Hillary Clinton and the ATF. Well done. Operation Fast and Furious was not a botched sting operation, it was simply the continuation of Iran Contra. The ATF sold the Mexican cartel guns and brought back tons of cocaine into the United States as payment. It is what it is. The CIA are the biggest drug traffickers on the planet. El Chapo worked for the CIA just like Manuel Noriega and Pablo Escobar did.

Jagmeet Singh supports the legalization of date rape

I like Jagmeet Singh. I think he is a nice guy. However, his criminally insane position on the legalization of all drugs means that I am not able to support him. At all. There is no conceivable rationalization possible for the legalization of GHB - the date rape drug. To do so would not only be stupid, it would also be evil. The war on drugs has failed in Canada simply because we never fought it. We threw out the four pillars program and turned harm reduction into harm promotion.

Throwing people in jail for the possession of pot is stupid. So is legalizing crack, meth, fentanyl and GHB. We need to shun extremism not embrace it. Are they going to legalize rape next?

Legal pot reduces opioid use

Science Daily is reporting that "States that have approved medical cannabis laws saw a dramatic reduction in opioid use, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Georgia." I don't smoke pot and I won't make money off of pot when it is legal but I will restate the obvious. Using pot to help people get off crack, meth or heroin makes sense. Legalizing all drugs is completely irresponsible. We need to balance the extremes.

CBC is reporting that "Can legalizing marijuana fight the problem of opioid addiction and fatal overdoses? Two new studies in the debate suggest it may." Likewise, CNN is reporting that "Experts have proposed using medical marijuana to help Americans struggling with opioid addiction. Now, two studies suggest that there is merit to that strategy."

Did the Hells Angels execute Reno Lee for a drug debt?

CBC reported that Reno Lee's death was an execution for a drug debt. The question is, who was the drug debt to? Who was supplying the drugs? David Giles said that if anyone uses the name of the Hells Angels for criminal activity, that activity has to be approved by the local executive. That implicates the local president just like in the murder of Bob Roth from Lloydminster.

Bob Roth was murdered and decapitated for a drug debt by the Whiteboy pose who worked for the Edmonton Hells Angels. Find out who the local president was at the time and you just found out who ordered the murder.

Reno Lee was killed in Regina, Saskatchewan and his dismembered body was dumped on the edge of the Star Blanket First Nation. Regina is half way between Winnipeg and Edmonton.

The Hells Angels have a long and violent history of drug trafficking in Winnipeg. The Zig Zag crew was convicted of selling crack cocaine for the Hells Angels in Winnipeg. There have been several other successive drug rings busted in Winnipeg tied directly to the Hells Angels. The Rock Machine rivals had a small rebirth in Winnipeg after the Ontario Hells Angels murdered a Hells Angels supporter so the Ontario HAs could take over the Thompson drug trade.

However, the Rock Machine rebirth in Winnipeg died out after mayor drug busts targeting them. That leaves us with the Edmonton Angels aka 51. The Edmonton Hell Angels are very proactive in expanding the drug trade. Edmonton Hells Angels were convicted of protecting the drug dealers that worked for them in Fort McMurray. The Edmonton HAs were responsible for the Whiteboy Posse. Dominic DiPalma was the Hells Angel responsible for the drug trafficking through the Whiteboy pose but he wasn't the local president. The local president was the one that approved the drug trafficking and approved Bob Roth's murder as well as Blake Christie's.

In Reno Lee's case, three men - 24-year-old Andrew Bellegarde, 33-year-old Bronson Gordon and 34-year-old Daniel Theodore - were convicted of first-degree murder. One of the three men, Bronson Gordon of Regina was arrested in Edmonton. Do the math.

Drug addicts aren't the most reliable people on earth. Giving them drugs for free then expecting them to come up with the money to pay for them afterwards is irresponsible. If you don't front drugs to addicts, there are no drug debts. However, people falsely accuse people of being a rat or owing debts all the time just like in the Britney Irving case. In the Surrey Six, Jamie Pigsh*t Bacon tried to tax Corry Lal on behalf of Gumby and the Surrey Girls.

Bronson Gordon was not present during the murder but recruited someone who owed him money to help collect the debt from Reno. CBC reported that "A homicide victim in Regina was introduced to one of his accused killers to broker a drug partnership, according to the testimony of one of the men accused of killing him. Gordon testified Lee came over to Gordon's apartment and brought meth. Gordon said he thought Lee's meth was of good quality, and he was looking forward to partnering with him. Theodore allegedly told Gordon that Lee owed between $40,000 to $60,000 to the guy in the suit when he explained what was happening. "

"When asked if Gordon was following orders from Theodore in April 2015, Gordon said it was a complicated thing and he did have to answer to him on some things because Theodore was collecting a debt." Lee had a crew. One addict who found out Lee was tapped up in the basement started getting tripped out because she knew that he was a boss. They were trying to tax him.

April Fools: Reno Lee was not executed for a drug debt. He was executed for being a rival.

Happy Easter. Truth crushed to the earth will rise again so it will because no lie can live forever.



In 2009 CBC reported "A Regina man who ripped a woman's toe off with pliers was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison for aggravated assault. Daniel Theodore, 26, pleaded guilty to the charge last week. Last July, Theodore and two women took the victim to the outskirts of the city and beat her over a $1,000 drug debt, court heard. After the beating, Theodore held down the victim, took off her shoes and socks and ripped off her baby toe with pliers."

Daniel Theodore was the one that decapitated Reno Lee's dead body.

This life is a test. Daniel Theodore FAILED. Miserably. He is D-ranged.

Native gangs in Canada either work for or against the Hells Angels. Redd Alert work for the HAs, Manitoba Warriors work against them. Bronson Gordon admitted he used to work for the Indian Poss who work for the HAs out of Winnipeg. He claimed he was working for La Familia out of Edmonton during Reno's murder. He is not Latino. Neither is Daniel Theodore. La Familia was just another name for another puppet club they picked after the WBP got bad press. La Familia in Edmonton was no more connected to the Mexican cartel than the WBP was.
