Shattered confidence in the BC justice system

The Vancouver sun is reporting that "The B.C. Court of Appeal has dismissed a bid by former notary Rashida Samji to throw out her criminal conviction for fraud relating to a $110-million Ponzi scheme that resulted in a six-year sentence."

"The appeal court concluded that a stay under the Charter of Rights was not warranted either, as Samji had not answered to society at large for her conduct, and a stay would likely cause the public to lose confidence in the integrity of the justice system.” Now that is interesting.

A stay in Jamie Bacon's charges has indeed caused the public to lose all confidence in the integrity of the BC justice system. However, normally the court doesn't care about public opinion. The court has traditionally seen itself better than the public and beyond reproach. They claim the court is there to interpret the law and the public is not learned in the law like they are so the public is stupid and the court has no need to explain itself to the public. As a result there is zero public accountability in the BC justice system which has been the subject of many signs, t-shirts, billboards and protests over the years.

I wouldn't say that this recent decision is president making but it is a breath of fresh air. When I first started this blog people said I was not allowed to criticize judges who made bad decisions. I disagreed and cited former judge Wallace Craig who said not only is it the public's right to criticize bad judicial decisions, it is a moral duty.

I have indeed tested the waters so to speak on the Internet, outside courthouses and within the court of public opinion. Neil Hall's Book The Hells Angels and the Million Dollar Rat ran a picture I made of Peter Leask with bugs bunny ears on a Looney tune background wherein he stated that the author of the Gangsters out blog believes Peter Leask should be hanged for treason. I do. He was a lunatic and the fact that we had to wait for him to age out and face mandatory retirement at the age of 70 was a crime against humanity.

Peter Leask is gone but now we are left picking up the pieces of the public's shattered confidence after the murder charges against Jamie Bacon were stayed when he was the one that orchestrated the hit. I realize that the trial delays in that case were significant and that the police and the crown are primarily to blame for obsessing with covering up the police misconduct in that case. However, excessive trial delays display a recurring problem within the courts. We can only hope that Jamie Bacon will be convicted in Eileen Mohans wrongful death suit like OJ was. Are the red and white still going to support him then? Let's hope not. I doubt they'll want to pay those costs and damages.

Global reported that "The reasons for issuing the stay of proceedings have been sealed and must remain so, Madam Justice K.M. Ker wrote in her ruling." Yeah? Why? Who is she covering for? Herself or the police? Perhaps both. Although trial delays in that case were indeed excessive, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to maintain a publication ban on the reasons for her decision. None whatsoever. The purpose of publication bans is to ensure the accused gets a fair trial. To my knowledge, the stay of charges is final. There is no appeal process for the staying of charges. That means the publication ban on the reasons for the stay is over. To state otherwise is a criminal act and a gross violation of the Charter of Rights.

If the court does in fact give a rats ass about the public's confidence in the justice system, then it must obey the law it is paid with tax dollars to uphold and not break the law by hiding things from the public who pay their wages and elect the governments that make the laws the courts are paid to enforce. The publication ban on the reasons for Jamie Bacon's stay must be challenged because it is wrong, wrong, wrong.

This Iron Curtain effect brings us back to the beginning of the Jamie Bacon trial in New Westminster. Back in March 2013 part of the Jamie Bacon trial was held in camera. That means no public or press was allowed in. That was absurd. When the court issues a publication ban they are always time sensitive. When the trial is over the publication ban expires.

The only publication bans that don't expire are ones that protect the identity of witnesses or victims. All other evidence may be published. That is why the public and the press are allowed in when a publication ban is in effect. So they know what they can report on when the ban has been lifted. In camera trials are dodgy as F*ck. While I was standing outside the courthouse with a sign objecting to the secret trial I was told it was the prosecution that asked for the hearing to be in camera not the defense. They were obviously covering up the police misconduct.



The continued publication ban on the reasons for the stay in Jamie Bacon's charges is illegal and must be challenged in court. If the court cares about the public's confidence in the integrity of the justice system, then that publication ban must be lifted. It's that simple.

Prosecutors to appeal the stay on Jamie Bacon’s charges

Christmas Epiphany - Greed

There was an interesting article in the paper recently about how $7.5 million laundered through a BC Casino ended up in China. Ties to organized crime is something we normally associate with Capitalism but evidently corruption goes both ways. The Communist politicians in China are the richest in the world. That shows you that Communism is a lie. It was funded by the Rothschilds and big corporations. It has nothing to do with social justice. It is all about greed.

However, greed is the universal sin that infects every person, religion, trade union and political party under the sun. The reason the Communist Manifesto is so flawed is that its founding premise is false making it's method of operation a fraud. My father always used to say that Communism works in theory but doesn't work in practice. That's because it's based on lies.

You cannot establish peace by eliminating civil liberty because where there is no justice, there is no peace. You cannot establish peace by eliminating individual rights because once you eliminate individual rights, there are no collective rights.

North Korea calls itself the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. That name is a lie because there is absolutely no democracy in North Korea. None whatsoever.

The Communist Manifesto gives the government power over the people and establishes a dictatorship. The Constitution gives the people power over the government and establishes a free republic that protects civil liberty and human rights. There are no human rights in Communism.

The Communist Manifesto claims that the history of all conflict boils down to a class struggle. Eliminate the classes and differences between people and you eliminate the conflict and establish world peace. Wrong. The history of all conflict isn't the result of class struggle it's the result of greed. There's a difference. One group wants to have power over another group so it can enslave and exploit them. It all boils down to people who don't want to work but want it all.

Adam was told by the sweat of thy brow thou shalt labour all the days of thy life and in this life ye shall have joy. The ability to work is a blessing that came as the result of the fall. Without work, there is no joy. Hard work is the means of all accomplishment. We must work to accomplish any goal in life. People fall for get rich quick schemes because they want it all without having to work for it. They want to be able to sit on their ass and have other people do all the work for them.



I told everyone I wasn't celebrating Christmas this year and I meant it. No, I haven't become Jehovah's Witness. I believe voting in elections is a moral duty and it's the devil that wants all the good people to boycott elections so he can do whatever he wants. I'm just sick of all the noise and want to enjoy the sound of silence this year. I also want to catch up on bills.

I used to know a German family that would make their own Christmas gifts. I have to admit hand knitted socks and scarves are the warmest thing around in winter. It's all the greed my brain can't process. There's a commercial on TV about two women fighting over the prestige of having bought the best or most expensive gift. That is totally messed up. Unfortunately, it's nothing new. Those are the wrong kind of Christmas traditions to develop. It misses the whole point.

Christmas is for kids. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a child's face light up when you found the perfect gift. A small toy they really enjoy. Childhood is fleeting and goes way too fast. Take lots of pictures and enjoy it while you can. Just remember there's a lot more to Christmas than meets the eye. Tal Zentmeyer on Christmas Peace. Bring it.

The Peak of Inverson

Ski season has begun. Over a meter of snow at the base and over a meter and a half at the summit. That's a nice start. I rode my motorcycle up mount Seymour yesterday and dusted off the crampons heading up to the back country. Inversion has been building all week. Inversion is when it's warmer in the mountains than down in the city. The fog rolls in the city and up in the mountains you are above the clouds. You can see clouds covering the water from Vancouver all the way to Vancouver Island. People were even digging in and staying overnight.

Today is a special day for me. I can't tell you why but it does kind of feel like a scene from Fiddler on the Roof. The kids are getting older and I'm getting older too. Simon and Garfunkel said that's not unusual. I'm obviously humbled by my experiences but I am also filled with gratitude at the same time. Despite the struggles and frustrations of the moment it is a good life so it is and as Louis Armstrong pointed out it still is a wonderful world if you know where to look. Peace.

Infrastructure expert gives Surrey LRT poor score

The Surrey Now Leader is reporting that a research paper put out by the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy authored by Mario Iacobacci, who holds a PhD in Economics from Cambridge University states that the city is not on the right track when it comes to light rail.

Botox Betty says the report sounds biased. It is. The report is biased against stupidity. This person is an infrastructure expert. However, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see that reverting 104th avenue to a single lane of traffic each way and putting an on ground railway don the middle will me an infrastructure nightmare. Aside from traffic congestion how is someone going to make a left turn with no turning lanes and an on ground rapid train running up and down the middle of the road. They aren't. That would be to dangerous. LOCAL BUSINESSES will suffer.

University report on Surrey’s LRT plan favours SkyTrain

"Iacobacci looked at all public transit investments of $500 million or more in Greater Toronto, Greater Montreal and Metro Vancouver. Of major projects in the latter, he argued, the Canada Line and Millennium Line Evergreen Extension show significant value creation whereas the first phase of the Surrey LRT is expected to destroy value, although this may turn out more positively depending on the option selected for Phase 2. Phase 2 could restore the overall project to net positive value creation if it is delivered as an extension of the existing SkyTrain service rather than as an LRT.” People who drive cars prefer Skytrain because Skytrin does not imprede traffic.

I have already exposed the Hawthorne Park Insider Trading Fraud. The Surrey LRT fraud is tied to it. SNC Lavalin has a horrible reputation for underbidding and over charging government contracts. The have a long history of money laundering and fraud and are due in court on yet another fraud charge in 2018. SNC Lavalin builds LRT and contributes to the Federal Liberals and Conservatives both. That's a tax paid kickback to the dirty politicians that write them blank cheques from tax dollars.

The provincial NDP could save Surrey from this infrastructure nightmare simply by revoking funding and approval for it until Surrey can hold another election to get rid of Linda Hepner once and for all. Cramming the project through before that time would be a criminal act.

Canada delays fighter jet purchase

One step forward, three steps back. The Globe and Mail is reporting that "Canada is scrapping a plan to buy 18 Boeing Co Super Hornet fighter jets amid a deepening dispute with the U.S. aerospace company, three sources familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Instead, the Liberal government will announce next week it intends to acquire a used fleet of older Australia F-18 jets, the same kind of plane Canada currently operates, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation."

OK so this isn't an official announcement, it's just an internal leak. We all know Lockheed Martin is bad. They continuously scam tax dollars by under bidding and over charging contacts. Lockheed Martin's F-18's are a horrible investment. Stopping that calamity is wise. However, getting all bent out of shape over this trade dispute with Boeing and Bombardier is also insane. If anything Boeing should take over Bombardier. That way it would finally start making money instead of burning tax dollars through corporate mismanagement.

Trudeau wants Boeing to drop it's lawsuit against Bombardier. Instead, Trudeau should be dropping Bombardier and lobbying Boeing to take it over. Instead of moving forward with Boeing the Trudeau government is seriously considering buying 40 year old F-18s from Australia because they are so similar to Canada's CF-18. That's because they're both old and need to be replaced. The thing is, Australia's old F-18s are still made by Boeing.

Buying old jets made by Boeing is better than buying new overpriced jets that don't work by Lockheed Martin but it certainly isn't as good as buying new jets from Boeing. Australia just bought 24 Super Hornets as an interim fleet so we are buying Australia's old fleet. "Boeing says its commercial and defense operations in Canada support more than 17,000 Canadian jobs." Exactly. Not only is Boeing a much more stable and profitable company than Lockheed Martin, but they also create jobs in Canada. Good jobs.

Boeing has responded to the rumor by stating that “We have read reports that the Government of Canada is choosing to purchase used F/A-18 Classic Hornets from the Royal Australian Air Force in lieu of new Super Hornet fighter jets. The Boeing Company respects the Canadian government’s decision and applauds the government’s continued use of a two engine fighter solution, which is a critical part of their northern Arctic border defense, NORAD cooperation, and coast to coast to coast security."

Boeing's old jets work in the Canadian arctic. Lockheed Martin's new jets don't. Boeing goes on to say "Although we will not have the opportunity to grow our supply base, industrial partnerships and jobs in Canada the way we would if Canada purchased new Super Hornets, we will continue to look to find productive ways to work together in the future. Boeing is fortunate to have an outstanding 100 years of partnership with Canada, which had culminated in our $4B annual economic impact in Canada, and we look forward to partnering for the next 100 years." Boeing is stable. They have a legitimate concern with Bombardier and should take over that embattled company once and for all. We need to see that for what it is.

Bombardier manager goes to jail for defrauding company to fund lavish lifestyle

Bombardier culture at heart of bribery case just like Lockheed Martin and SNC-Lavalin.

Jamie Bacon's Girlfriend dies of a drug overdose

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that Jamie's Bacon's girlfriend from Kelowna died of a drug overdose while in Vancouver preparing to attend Jamie's trial. The first question we have to ask is which girlfriend? Was this the one that had an affair with a married IHIT investigator? Apparently not. Her mother claimed she was in love with and faithful to Jamie. Now that truly is tragic.

First things first. You have to stop using the term notorious and Jamie Bacon in the same sentence. That is ridiculous. Jamie Bacon is and always was a complete idiot. He was not from Surrey. He was from the suburbs out in Abbotsford. Look at his picture. The guy is a complete idiot. He couldn't even go to the gym without getting beat up. He had to hide behind Anthon. Spike hated Jamie. Spike just saw Jamie as an easy mark to tax. If it wasn't for the 24 hour police protection those clowns received he would have been dead a long time ago.

I hesitate to even mention this case because it really isn't newsworthy. Jamie Bacon just doesn't matter. This poor girl who loved him and was loyal to him was completely brain dead. I'm sorry, I dont want to be mean but that kind of stupidity just isn't pretty. Her mother is just as bad as Jamie's father. Parents glorifying the gang life are just plain irresponsible.

However, Kim slipped out one fact that makes this case very newsworthy indeed. Kim stated that Jamie's girlfriend was a drug dealer that had conflicts with some of Jamie Bacon's rivals. We know that Jamie Bacon ended up selling drugs for the Hells Angels so his girlfriend obviously did as well. So Jamie's rivals would then be HA rivals seeing how Jamie is a mindless puppet on a string being taxed by the red and white. The HAs use guys like Jamie to sell drugs because they are so useless they'd never be able to make it on their own. That's why they don't have to worry about them crossing over and working for the other side.

Kim stated one of those rivals was the recent weapons bust at a Langley farmhouse. That confirms my original suspicion. The police seized all those guns from a Hells Angels rival. Gang enforcement in BC is completely compromised. They no longer go after Hells Angels. They just go after HA rivals.

I will also note that the police videotaping a strip search of Jamie Bacon's girlfriend shows once again how demented the teletubbies really are. Just like that married IHIT cop who wanted to sleep with Jamie's ex. You want to touch something he touched? You want to share STDs with a piece of garbage like Jamie Bacon? You are both worthless and hopeless. That kind of self esteem problem is something for Dr Phil to straighten out.

One thing is certain and that's Eddie Narong was right. Jamie Bacon is dead. He's freaking brain dead. Who's going to protect him now? Anthon is in prison. His preppy brother is dead. Oh don't worry, Larry Amero will protect him. Just like he protected Jamie's dead preppy brother. Just like he protected Randy Naicker. The question is, who's going to protect Larry? The truth is, none of the HAs ever liked Jamie. They put up with him because his dead preppy brother was friends with Larry Amero. Now that they're out of the picture Jamie Bacon is going to need more than a bullet proof vest to save his ass. Pumpkin pie doesn't make you bullet proof clown.

Donald Trump moves American Embassy to Jerusalem

The breaking news is that Donald Trump announces his decision to move the American Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. No offense but who cares? I mean really. The thing that has everyone freaked out is his declaration that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Once again who cares? Donald Trump is the president of the United States not Israel. He doesn't have the authority to change the capital of any other nation. That decision would be up to Israel.

Nevertheless, people are freaking out left, right and centre which once again proves that Israel and Palestine is full of lunatics and that Jerusalem is no longer holy. Violent protesters have clashed with soldiers and Gaza's firing rockets into Israel has been met with Israeli airstrikes.

Nickolay Mladenov called on all parties to engage in "constructive dialogue" and "reign in radical elements". First let me say that the people who live in Gaza are crazy and confrontational. As soon as Israel pulled out to give them more autonomy they started firing rockets into Israel at will. I will also say that Israel using white phosphorus on Gaza was excessive.

As I have said before, Palestinians are not the original inhabitants of Gaza. The Philistines were. They were conquered and swept away by Ramses, king of Egypt. Yet I am of the understanding that Israel has been heavy handed in dealing with Gaze with regards to cutting off their electricity. However, that appears to be due to a request from the Palestinian Authority. "Since 2006, the PA has been paying 40 million shekels ($12m) a month for electricity to be delivered from Israel to Gaza, which is deducted from tax revenues collected by Israel on behalf of the PA."

The movie Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom gives a good historical background into the sacred and controversial history of Jerusalem. Basically it is a holy place to every religion under the sun specifically Muslims, Jews and Christians.

The problem with Israel is that Israel is not a free republic, it is a Jewish state. Which is fine if that's what they really want. It just makes it inherently problematic knowing that Israel traditionally did not own or conquer all of Palestine anciently and they were commanded to vex not the stranger that sojourneth with thee. The Palestinians living within Israel were people without a country or passport. However, recently that has changed.

The Palestinian passport, which was issued in 1995 and was based on the Oslo Accords reached between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Liberation Organization, is essentially a travel document and does not stipulate that its owner is a citizen of Palestine.

However, the Times of Israel is reporting that "The office of Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas has reportedly informed Israel it intends to begin issuing “State of Palestine” passports to West Bank residents." Interesting, I think that is fair. If Isreal is not willing to form a free republic and insists on maintaining a Jewish State, then a two state solution is the logical conclusion.

Jerusalem, is then the capital of Israel and the capital of Palastine. That's fair.

Gaza must submit to Palestine. Salam Alaikum.

I would also like to point out the obvious. Fascists don't like Jews yet Donald Trump does. His daughter married a Jew. Donald Trump is obviously sympathetic to the cause of Israel. That means he isn't Fascist. Just sayin.

Fatal shooting in Langley and South Surrey

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "Homicide investigators have identified the man found shot in the backyard of a Langley townhouse complex Thursday night. Dai Duong Duong of Abbotsford, 21, was found in the 8100-block of 204th Street at 10:45 p.m. Thursday night. Duong was known to police and believed to be involved in gang activity."

The Peace Arch News is also reporting that "A 48-year-old man has been taken to hospital in serious condition following a shooting in South Surrey Friday morning. According to a tweet by Surrey RCMP, the incident occurred in the 17000-block of 21 Avenue at about 9:30 a.m."

BC Pot sales: Public and Private

CBC is reporting that "Recreational pot sold in British Columbia will be sold at both public and privately run stores, the provincial government says." The minimum age to purchase it will be 19. That sounds good. However, there are a few details that are concerning.

Its interesting to note that although the Conservatives were against the legalization of pot, when they were in power they established a free market pot system for medical marijuana. They cited the number of entrepreneur applications to grow medical marijuana.

Mark and Jodie Emery are pushing for free market pot. That is what I support. The last thing we need is more Health Canada corruption screwing things up for Canadians again.

Recently there was news of a huge drug bust in Washington state. Only it wasn't cocaine or heroin it was pot. I'm like what are they doing? Pot was legalized there in 2012. Somebody isn't listening. Freaking out about an "illegal" grow after pot has been legalized is a complete waste of time and money. The whole point of legalizing pot is so that police can more efficiently use their time going after hard drugs like crack, crystal meth and fentanyl.

Dramatic police raids of grow ops after the legalization of pot while they turn a blind eye to the public sale of crack is somewhat suspicious. Just like these recent charges against Marc and Jodie Emery. It's a compete waste of time and tax dollars. Their political campaign was successful. Get over it and leave them alone. It's like making a big deal about arresting someone for growing tomatoes without a license. Who cares? There are much more important problems we need to worry about.

Although I rather not see pot sold in liquor stores, I rather see it sold there than grocery stores. I'm glad they are allowing the private pot shops but $30,000 a year for a license is insane. That is not a free market. The said they would reduce the fee for pot shops but that has yet to be seen. Whatever a business license costs for any business, that should be the fee. If they want to tax the sale of pot feel free but boosting the cost of a business license for pot kills the free market.

Surrey Shooting

The Peace Arch News is reporting that "Police say a 22-year-old Surrey man who was shot in Newton Tuesday night is believed to be involved in the drug trade. The shooting took place near 148th Street and 64th Avenue around 8 p.m. on Tuesday (Dec. 5)."
