Radical activism in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) has been getting out of hand for several years now- beginning in the early 2000′s with the formation of the infamous (and now defunct) Anti-Poverty Committee. The APC was a militant anarchist organization run by many of the same people who are leading the radicalism today- Ivan Drury and …

W2Gate: Has Irwin Oostinde Been Running Vancouver’s New “Piggie’s Palace”? (feat. The Pickton Bros.)
Jamie Lee Hamilton just made a super-interesting posting on her Facebook page. What she says not only exposes some pretty dirty information on what’s been happening at the City of Vancouver funded W2 Media Centre, but also some insights to the Robert Pickton serial killer inquiry. It seems that there’s a lot more to the …

W2Gate: An Update On Vancouver’s City Funded DTES Sadomasochist Club…
I’ve been doing some more research on Vancouver’s W2 media centre. When I wrote my first article about them back in May, I discovered that they were hosting a sadomasochist party in their basement. The party featured ‘kissing booths’ where partiers engaged in sexual activities and drug consumption. I got a lot of flack for that article- …

Penetrating Deeper Into The Mystery Of RCMP Corporal Jim Brown’s Sex Scandal
This morning I learned an interesting new theory about what could have been behind the story of RCMP Corporal Jim Brown. He’s the Mountie who had a scandal involving sadomasochistic photographs that he posted online. One of the pictures included his face, and the others didn’t. As would be expected- the mainstream media went apeshit …

MediaWatch: Megaphone Misses The Boat On Vancouver DTES Policing…
Someone shared an article from Vancouver’s Megaphone magazine with me today- there’s so much wrong with this story I hardly know where to start. The story is about how Darrell Barnes, a mentally ill man who lived in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES) was shot and killed by the police. They first started shooting him with …

MediaWatch: Joshua Blakeney, Robyn Heaslip And Patricia Kelly’s Stó:lo Nation Fish Story on PressTV
The more I dig into Professor Anthony James Hall’s fish story on Iranian PressTV, the more interesting and tangled the web becomes. Today we introduce a new character, Robyn Heaslip- someone who I learned today I have a relationship with (and I didn’t even know it until now!). This story also includes Joshua Blakeney of PressTV/Veterans …
