2 bodies found in Richmond home, 1 in Calgary Mall and 1 in Burnaby Park

CBC is reporting that "Richmond RCMP are investigating the deaths of two people found in their home after reports of gunfire early Monday morning. Police were called to a residence in the 6600-block of Eckersley Road after 2:30 a.m. PT, where they found the bodies of a man and a woman, said Cpl. Frank Jang of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team."

CBC is also reporting that "Police are investigating after the body of a man was discovered inside a wall in a public washroom at a mall in downtown Calgary on Monday." They claim the death isn't suspicious it is undetermined. One theory is that the person crawled in there and got stuck.

Update: Global is reporting that "Homicide investigators have identified the two people killed in a Richmond home early Monday morning. Thirty-six-year-old Keri Smith and 37-year-old Terrence Peter Smith were found dead in the house in the 6600-block of Eckersley Road around 2:30 a.m. Richmond RCMP officers had been responding to a report of gunfire.

According to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), the pair had recently moved to Richmond from the Surrey area. Both also have ties to the Vernon area. The Smiths were both known to police, and investigators say they were living in the home where the murders occurred."



Human remains found in Burnaby's Confederation Park: CBC is reporting that "Partial human remains have been found in a Burnaby, B.C., park. A passerby called RCMP after making the grim discovery in a wooded area of Confederation Park around 10:30 a.m. PT on Tuesday. Investigators later confirmed the remains are human. A statement said officers will be on scene for a few days as the investigation continues. The remains haven't been identified and RCMP say it's too early to identify how they ended up in the park."

Donald Trump supports North Korea peace talks

Well this is a positive turn of events. Donald Trump is supporting peace talks with North Korea. This is a step forward. The Olympics in South Korea were successful. The next step would be to lift the trade embargo with North Korea. That would be an act of good faith. The Helms Burton Law against Cuba was draconian. Boycotting trade with Cuba while endorsing trade with Communist China was absurd. China's human rights record is far worse that Cuba and North Korea combined. Allowing people to visit North Korea would be wise as well.

We could also invite their cultural stage presentation to Vancouver and other mayor cities across the globe. North Koreans like music. Musical exchanges would promote world peace.

Kim Jong Un crosses the line at the Demilitarised Zone.



A unified Korea is as problematic as a unified Ireland. That doesn't mean a peace agreement after the war can't be signed. North Korea is Communist. In that sense they did win the war. They successfully established a Communist state. However, South Korea is not Communist. The recent mass demonstrations calling for their former president to resign would not have been permitted in a Communist system. Neither would religious freedom or civil liberty.

In a Communist regime other political parties aren't allowed to run. That seems to work in North Korea but implementing that system in the South would be an act of war. As long as both parties can agree to the current border and the current political systems of each nation, a peace agreement can be made that allows trade and travel between the two countries.

George St Pierre, Klitschko and Pacquiao

I've been watching a few interesting documentaries on famous boxers. The most recent one was about George Saint Pierre called Takedown: the DNA of GSP. I just want to say mad harsh respect to GSP. George is a real life role model. He is honest, humble and hard working. Those are the traits of nobility.

Recently there is even talk about yet another comeback. I hope he doesn’t fight Conor McGregor. That guy's day is done. He lost to Floyd Mayweather and his last absurd tirade was the nail in the coffin to his career. I won't watch him fight again no matter who he fights. Calling the brothers in the Rocky movie dancing monkeys was just not acceptable. Conor is the dancing money. Right now he can't even join the circus.

In the GSP documentary it really showed what kind of a trash talker Nick Diaz was. George was like you are the rudest person I have ever met and I'm going to kick your ass. Nick was like it got me the fight didn't it? Yes but he could of had the fight without the trash talk. Yet Nick does come from a challenging background.

At the end Nick showed respect and earned some respect from GSP. The movie had a Dali Lama quote by GSP about how your adversary shows you your weaknesses and makes you strong. Kind of like how in Kendo when opponents square off they bow and say onegaishimasu which means please show me the way (to enlightenment). By confronting your adversary you find yourself. Conor McGregor is different. He's done. He doesn't need anyone to put him in his place because he has already done that to himself.

In the GSP video there was a fan with a sign that said GSP for Mayor. Now that is something I could support. Both Pacquiao and Klitschko went into politics after their successful careers. If George did that he would be doing the world a favor. PM GSP. Two other documentaries I saw was about Manny Pacquiao and the Klitschko brothers. Not only did Manny become a senator but he too is making a comeback. Matthysse vs Pacquiao will be in Malaysia July 15th.

I have a huge respect for the Klitschko brothers from the Ukraine. CBC reported that Vitali Klitschko, became a parliamentarian in the Ukraine with his eye on a presidential run. Now that's what I’m talking about. He currently serves as Mayor of Kiev and head of the Kiev City State Administration, having held both offices since June 2014.

However, since Vitali Klitschko did some boxing training in Germany and his documentary is in German, it's pretty obvious he leans to integration with the EU. We need to remember that the other half of the Ukraine is of Russian descent and don't want to be part of the EU. That is the democratic will of the people.



Half of the Ukraine is afraid of Stalin and the other half is afraid of Hitler. For good reason. One is no better than the other. Both roads lead to the same place. Unfortunately, Manny Pacquiao is the same political party as the raging lunatic who is the current president of the Philippines telling everyone to shoot suspected drug dealers on site without a trial. That is both insane and evil.

They all talk about political corruption in the Philippines. What’s to stop a politician from shooting a political rival and say oh he was a drug dealer? What’s to stop someone from robbing someone then shooting them claiming they were a drug dealer when they were not. We do need to confront organised crime but you can’t do that by abolishing civil liberty and due process. Those are crucial rights we must always protect.

In the Pacquiao documentary it showed he did some pad work with Freddie Roach as did GSP. Freddie is very good with the hand pads. In his own words he was a boxer that didn't retire when he should have and now has Parkinson's disease like Mohammad Ali. Some people say Parkinson's is trauma induced, others say it's hereditary. Either way Freddie Roach is another world class legend along with Mohammad Ali who was without question the greatest.



Mike Tyson was rock solid and did a fantastic fight scene with Donnie Yen in the movie Yip Man.



These legendary fighters still have a future in movies, training and politics.

Respect to the soldiers from the hood: Champs.

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield have my respect.

Hats off to Anthony Joshua the young gun from the UK. Took out Wladimir Klitschko respectfully.



Olympic boxing should keep headgear like the Golden Gloves. It's a tournament where multiple bouts are fought right after each other. That's like playing hockey or football without a helmet. All the other contact sports are moving forwards towards protecting athletes and reducing brain trauma. The Olympics are moving backwards because the Olympic committee is corrupt.

Nanaimo Hillbilly rams police car in stolen truck

The Ladysmith Chronicle is reporting that some yahoo in a stolen truck rammed two unmarked police cars trying to flee police. The hillbillies got stuck ramming the second police car and fled the scene but were apprehended shortly thereafter.

The New West Record is reporting that "Thirty-two-year-old Majore Jackson and 47-year-old Andrew Bellwood have been charged with assault with a weapon, dangerous driving, possession of stolen property and obstruction." If they only had a brain.

South Surrey homicide victim identified

The Peace arch News is reporting that IHIT has identified the body found Thursday afternoon in South Surrey as 24-year-old Amin Vinepal. Police say Vinepal, a Delta resident, was known to police and associated with gang activity, according to a news release issued by IHIT at approximately 11:30 a.m. Friday." Amin was found dead on 12 Ave in South Surrey Thursday.

Cross Border Drug Bust

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that "Charges have been laid against a British Columbia man who is accused of trafficking more than 100 kilograms of drugs between the United States and Canada. RCMP Chief Supt. Keith Finn said a six-month, cross-border investigation with authorities in the United States found two vessels meeting on multiple occasions just south of San Juan Island, between Vancouver Island and Washington state."

"Police seized 55 kilograms of cocaine, 47 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine and more than a kilogram of heroin in February 2017 after one of the vessels docked in Canada. Two high speed vessels, firearms and $150,000 in cash were also seized." Show me the money. "William Barnes, 51, of Saanich has been charged with multiple drug trafficking and firearms offences."

Seizing that much cocaine and crystal meth is a good thing. However two concerns arise. Saanich - was this a HA associate or just another HA rival? The other obvious concern is cross order policing. The last time this bad idea materialised, the US cops wanted diplomatic immunity in Canada after they found out that cops can actually get charged with murder in Canada for shooting suspects not in self defence. Cross border policing is a bad idea. Giving armed US cops diplomatic immunity to operate in Canada is pure insanity.



BTW Why don't the police arrest the street level dealers selling crack, crystal meth and fentanyl in the DTES and on the Surrey Strip? Confronting police corruption and disrupting street level drug trafficking was the New York Model. I was there. I saw it.

Ex cop sentenced for sexual asault

Castanet is reporting that "A former Mountie and youth sports coach who a judge says used his authority and trust to groom teenage boys before sexually assaulting them has been sentenced to six years in prison. Alan Davidson, 62, was taken into custody by sheriffs at the end of a sentencing hearing in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday. He was convicted of five charges in B.C. dating back more than 35 years and pleaded guilty to two more charges stemming from incidents in Saskatchewan, where he worked as an RCMP constable in the 1980s and early 1990s." Some of the sexual assaults took place while he was an RCMP officer.

Judge jokes case 'may never, ever end' as Hells Angels civil forfeiture trial begins

CBC is reporting that "A trial that's been more than a decade in the making got underway in fits and starts Monday, as lawyers for the B.C. government attempted to make their case for forfeiture of three Hells Angels clubhouses. In his first remarks of the day, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Barry Davies joked that the case "may never, ever end," after hearing early indications from defence lawyers that they planned to object early on to evidence from the Director of Civil Forfeiture."

Like I said before, give the Nanaimo clubhouse back and keep the Kelowna clubhouse by way of consent order. The amount of criminal activity the Kelowna Chapter orchestrated out of that clubhouse was unprecedented. Then let the trial continue separately for the East Van clubhouse. That would be the right thing to do. If by some strange twist of fate anyone here is concerned with doing the right thing any more. Just sayin.

The whole seizing the proceeds of crime is a slippery slope. In LA the DEA stopped trying to disrupt street level drug trafficking and just focused on seizing the proceeds of crime. That is what we are now seeing in Metro Vancouver. They don't want to stop street level drug trafficking. They just want a percentage of the profits for letting it continue.

Organized crime attack strikes Toronto

Every crime has a motive. Some lunatic drove a rental van down a sidewalk in Toronto today killing 10 pedestrians. Canadian news outlets say no motive has been revealed although mental illness is considered. A U.S. security source said Terrorism is likely the motive. Wrong. Terrorism is not a motive because Canada is not at war. What US security source? The CIA? How are they involved in this? The driver of the van has been identified as Alek Minassian.

The Edmonton "Attack" and Project Argus

I'm not going to minimize the tragedy. 10 people are dead. That is very real. I am going to question the motive. October 2017 we saw a similar absurdity take place in Edmonton. A lone wolf drives a rented van into four pedestrians and stabbed a cop. Religion did not play a large role in his life. Edmonton was on high alert for a terrorist attack because the RCMP were hosting a training seminar in Edmonton at the time.

Chris Phillips, a British counter terrorism expert was on hand to coordinate the event. He is a former cop from England who runs a terrorist training consultation firm that participated in Project Angus which was a three hour multimedia simulation to help various agencies learn how to deal with terrorist threats which makes the Edmonton attack look staged.

Right now the only motive for the Toronto attack is to justify the RCMP's task force on terrorism losing billions of tax dollars from it's budget every year and to justify Bob Paulson's move that took all the officers investigating organized crime off of organized crime and put them on the terrorist creation task force. We still need to investigate organized crime.

When the RCMP loses billion of tax dollars from it's terrorism budget every year, that is organised crime. When the Commissioner of the RCMP takes all the officers off of organised crime and puts them on a terrorist creation task force fitted with terrorist quotes that bribe and threaten drug dealers into committing terrorist attacks in Canada, that is organised crime.

Update: One of the victims was visiting from Jordan. Hardly a terrorist attack. Now the police are claiming the suspect was a copycat of Elliot Rodger who in 2014 mowed down pedestrians in a vehicle in California because he was rejected by women. That is ridiculous. Surely CSIS can do better than that. The fact that CSIS provided the explosives for the Air India bombing is not a conspiracy theory, it is a historical fact.

2nd Update: Police identified the driver as Alek Minassian, 25, a Christian with an Armenian roots.

Mike Farnworth falls for the cop pot fraud

Kim Bolan is reporting that "The federal government is not doing enough to keep organized crime out of the medical marijuana business, B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said Thursday. Farnworth was reacting to two recent Postmedia News stories about full-patch members of the Hells Angels being involved in medical pot in B.C."

They are going on about how Surrey Hells Angel Lukasz Cimoszko had a prescription for medicinal pot and Andrew Richards has once again expressed a concern. Holy conflict of interest. This fraud was first launched by Post Media News when Andrew Richards told Kim Bolan Weird Hal was advertising on facebook to help people get licenses to grow medicinal marijuana. As I said then, Weird Hal is an idiot. If he wants to make money from legal pot then let him. Gold knows he has no career in the hip hop industry.

Kim Bolan admitted that Andrew Richards is the CEO of Spire Secure Logistics. What she failed to mention is the fact that Spire Secure Logistics has announced that they have been acquired by Friday Night Inc. a Canadian public company which owns and controls cannabis and hemp-based assets in Las Vegas. Retired Ontario cop Tim Humberstone is Chief Strategy Officer in charge of selling cop pot in Ontario. This scam is one great big conflict of interest.

The cops don't want the Hells Angels selling legal pot because the cops want a monopoly on the market. All this drama about the Hells Angels involvement in medical pot is too late since pot will be legal in two months. You can't stop the Hells Angels from doing legal business. You can't stop them from selling cars, tomatoes or pot when it's legal. This fraud was regurgitated when Kim reported that Luke had a prescription for medical pot. Are you saying that Hells Angels aren't allowed medical prescriptions? That is ridiculous.

This whole scam is Dianne Watts deja vu. When Dianne Watts was mayor she obsessed over shutting down grow ops which no one cared about and did absolutely nothing about the public sale of crack despite unending complaints from businesses and residents. Now retired cops selling pot are trying to kick the Hells Angels out of the legal pot industry while they offer police protection to the drug dealers in the DTES and on the Surrey Strip that sell crack, crystal meth and fentanyl. It's just plain dirty.

I don't understand what's happened to Andrew Richards. When he was part of OCA, the provincial organized crime task force he had his sh*t together. Now he has lost his mind. I guess he's just tying to make some money. However, if he is allowed to make money off of legalized pot, then so are the Hells Angels and Marc Emery. That's reality. Like I said before, legalizing drugs won't get organized crime out of the drug trade. It will just make it impossible to arrest them.

The Hells Angels selling pot is not the problem. The Hells Angels selling crack and fentanyl is. We should be encouraging the club to make money from legal endeavors. Back east the Hells Angels are known for selling black market cigarettes and no one cares. People aren't dying from black market cigarettes. People are dying from fentanyl.

The Hells Angels have a name and a brand. So does Marc Emery. No one in the 420 movement is going to want to buy legal cop pot. The only ones who will buy that are cops. Everyone else is going to want to but Hells Angels or Marc Emery pot. Cop pot is just plain dirty. If Mike Farnworth sincerely wants to do something constructive he needs to bring back the OMGU and disrupt street level drug trafficking. Obsessing over the Hells Angels and pot is a colossal red herring.

The real problem in Surrey is no secret. It is the Surrey Strip and all the drug related crime and violence that goes along with it. It's the same problem that we explained to Mike Farnworth when he came to Surrey in 2008. Only it has gotten worse because nothing has been done about it.
