Breaking police scandal re Picton pig farm killings

[Jeff]

Abel Danger, I'm going to suspend your account for a week.

As Barracuda suggested, please do review the posting guidelines to determine whether this is a forum to which you should be posting. Because some of your remarks have made some of us, in good faith, wonder.

What most people who haven't been close to a massive crime like this won't realize is the effect it has on the local population, and in this case I'm talking most of BC but particularly the southwest corner.

Those parties were huge and famous. Hundreds if not thousands of people attended over the years they were occurring. Those people may not have witnessed the murders but they now know that they ate the meat of the pigs that were raised on those women's bodies. And they saw stuff. They saw the HA's, the cops, the politicians socializing. They saw the relationships between the brothers and the their friends. They saw the piles of women's clothing.

They know that the official story and Robert Pickton's conviction doesn't add up except in the this way: Organized crime hand-in-hand with the police, elected officials, the judiciary and the media.

People talk about it, what they saw and what they know, but they generally do it quietly and privately, not publicly, partly because it is tangibly dangerous to do so but also because of proximity complicity and perhaps a sense of moral contamination. I saw one fellow literally turn green when he spoke about the pork he'd eaten there and nearly burst into tears.

The activists downtown are not people who attended the parties, not people who socialized with the Picktons or the HA's, not the people who laughed and danced and feasted on the roast pork.

The culture of predation here is entrenched, established over 100 years of the Residential School pogram and other covert and overt genocidal policies and the liquidation of natural resources. An astute activist friend of mine explained it simply as typical of Settler State conditions. Ouch.

I really, really hope that Ms. Galliford's about-face is sincere and not another case of the insider-turned-outsider, leader/co-opter stratagem that destroyed the 9/11 Truth movement.

The role of pigs in Pickton saga.

Feb 5

...

What is emerging from the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry, established to examine how police investigated the disappearance of dozens of sex trade workers from the Vancouver Downtown Eastside "combat zone" is that two-legged *pigs* stuck their snouts in, with the result that a number of deliberately engineered events derailed the investigations.

Certain police documents — including notes from their investigations — have not been disclosed. Pages from reports have mysteriously vanished. Police witnesses have offered conflicting accounts of key events. “This case has all the familiar hallmarks of a police cover-up,” says Mr. Ward, choosing his words carefully. “And I’m afraid the inquiry may be enabling it.”

Why, despite their strong suspicions, their corroborating information from tipsters, and their knowledge of Pickton’s violent history with prostitutes, did police wait years to stop the serial killer? Who knew what, and when did they know it? Mr. Ward doubts the inquiry will answer those questions, because they involve high-ranking police officers and others with too much to lose. [For example] why, in 1998, [was] a decision made by B.C.’s criminal justice branch to stay charges of attempted murder and unlawful confinement against Pickton, after his near-fatal stabbing of a Vancouver prostitute at his farm?

Pieces of the story emerged at Pickton’s marathon murder trial in 2007. He was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder.

From here. At the time, there was a strong impression, supported by Willy Pickton himself, that he accepted the role of fall guy in order to divert attention from other people involved in the bloody carnage, and in events that took place at the pig farm.

...

I believe Robert Pickton was the logistics guy, and that other people may also be criminally involved in violent activities including the femicides, that took place at his farm. How likely is it such facts will be disclosed to the inquiry?

Missing Women Inquiry: Ex-Pickton worker echoes lawyer allegations of police cover-up

(full story at link^)

“There was something not right there,” Hiscox recalled over lunch at a White Spot restaurant, during a break from the Inquiry. “You can't put your finger on it, but it's there. It's kind of a really weird feeling – kind of a turning, wrenching feeling – where you know something's wrong.

“Did you ever see the movie Sixth Sense, where they see dead people? It's almost like people were trying to reach out, 'Oh, we're here.' That's the kind of feeling you got. That's exactly how it felt, it was really weird walking there.”

Tories tried to scale back RCMP apology to Pickton victims

Douglas Quan, Postmedia News Jun 12, 2012 – 7:26 PM ET

The federal public safety minister’s office tried to scale back an apology the RCMP delivered earlier this year to the families of serial killer Robert Pickton’s victims, Postmedia News has learned.

A senior adviser to the RCMP commissioner later wrote that the government’s proposed revisions — which ended up not being adopted — drained the apology of its “purpose” and “impact,” according to internal emails obtained under access-to-information laws.

...

Email records show that shortly before the RCMP statement was issued, Julie Carmichael, press secretary to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, wrote to Daniel Lavoie, the RCMP’s executive director of public affairs in Ottawa, requesting changes to the text.

“Daniel — please find attached the revised product,” she wrote.

The next line was underlined for emphasis: “Please ensure the statement issued is reflective of these changes.”

The revised statement did not include any acknowledgement that the RCMP “could have done more” in the Pickton investigation and the apology was limited to saying “how very sorry we are for the loss of your loved ones.”

...

Carmichael refused to explain this week why the minister’s office sought to pare down the wording of the apology.

I remember hearing about the pig farm on CBC radio quite a bit when the story broke, but the reports seemed to impart an image of just a dirty pig farm run by a couple of brothers, no hint of police involvement etc. as we see now....let alone Alexander Haig attending "cannibal roast" picnics there...

I just spent a couple hours looking over the Abel Danger site. They've been very busy there, typing long unbroken blocks of text (how about a little "white space" for easier reading, guys?) filled with assertions and allegations written in a skip-to-m'Lou style that leaves me asking..."WTF?"

Does anyone else find the writing & information obtuse and difficult to make sense of?

For example, see "Abel Danger Mischief Makers - Mistress of the Revels - 'Man-In-The-Middle' Attacks"; who knew Jane Fonda's mission in life has been to extort her famous husbands into serving the...octopus? ..."Crown Agent's Sisters"? Who knew that Anna Chapman engineered the London 7/7 bombings? Is Abel Danger suggesting the world is run by a lesbian cabal of child-pimping Machavellians who used "mirrors" to fake planes flying into WTC buildings?

Frankly, I'm flummoxed. Where is Abel Danger getting all this 'intelligence'?

The "Glossary" page is helpful, at least gave me a slight clue to what some of the stories are about. Check it out.




Sorry for this slight topic diversion

MK Ultra is rampant, and so is satanism at the top levels of our society. The brainwashing of society in general keeps sheeple from opening their eyes to the horrors! It is much easier to hide one's head up one's ying yang, and watch TV!

Missing Women Commissioner wants answers to RCMP officer's sexually explicit photos

By Ian Mulgrew, Vancouver Sun Columnist July 5, 2012 7:59 PM

Missing Women Commissioner Wally Oppal wants quick answers about the Coquitlam Mountie, his X-rated Internet exploits and any relevance they may have to the Robert Pickton serial killings.

But he is refusing to reopen his one-man inquiry into the investigations of the crimes and where police went awry, prolonging the heinous murder spree.

Oppal said he had asked for a full explanation from the federal Department of Justice Thursday after reading a Vancouver Sun story about an RCMP code-of-conduct investigation into the officer who posted disturbing torture and sexually explicit photographs on the Web.

That didn’t satisfy Cameron Ward, who represents families of missing and murdered women.

He demanded Oppal interrupt writing his final report and reopen his just-wrapped hearings.

“This particular officer, given his personal involvement in the Pickton investigation and the role he played three years before Pickton was apprehended is critically important,” Ward said.

The graphic Internet images show Cpl. Jim Brown — who has been placed on administrative duties — posing in kidnap-and-torture scenes reminiscent of the pig-farm slayings.

In one, a naked woman hangs with her hands tied above her head while the self-styled “Kilted Knight” appears to slash her with a large butcher’s knife.

Late Thursday, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Randy Beck said in a media statement that the force actually found “some graphic staged photographs” on a memory stick belonging to Brown in December 2010.

'Highway of Tears' The Unsolved Murders of Indigenous Women in Canada

By Sebastian Moll

Highway 16 in Canada has become known as the "Highway of Tears" because dozens of women have disappeared along its route. Many of them have been killed, most of them First Nation indigenous peoples. The police have shown little interest in solving the crimes.

...

It is a three-day trip from Prince Rupert to Vancouver, where we meet with the private detective Ray Michalko. He was once a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Mounties. Six years ago, the Mounties formed a special commission to look into the Highway 16 cases. They invested $11 million (Canadian) to investigate the murders, but without success.

Michalko is not surprised. "They put 50 people in front of computers and hoped that a serial killer would jump out at them," he says. Data was collected and profiles were created. The only thing that is not being done, Michalko says, is real detective work.

He couldn't stand by and watch anymore, he says. That's why he drives along Highway 16 now, knocking on doors and asking questions. Michalko doubts that the special commission wants to achieve serious results. Each real result would only produce uncomfortable questions.

That's what happened during the trial against Robert Pickton, who was sentenced to life in prison in Vancouver in 2007. When police officers searched for illegal weapons on his pig farm outside Vancouver, they found pieces of clothing belonging to a missing Native prostitute. When police then scoured the farm from top to bottom, they found the remains of 49 Native women.

Pickton made pornographic films of the women and then slaughtered them like the pigs at his farm. But the trial also raised questions about the police and the justice system. How is it possible that his crimes could have gone undiscovered for so long? Why didn't anyone search for the missing women?

There was a public hearing on the Pickton case, and new details about corruption among the Mounties and justice officials emerged on a daily basis. Michalko believes that the special commission was formed so the debacle surrounding the Pickton case didn't extend to the cases from Highway 16.

RCMP officer Jim Brown is a sexual sadist-so what’s the big deal?
July 6, 2012 in Opinion

News that Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jim Brown (aka the “Kilted Knight”) posted graphic photos of himself holding a knife to a woman’s throat on a website devoted to sadomachism has prompted significant public concern. Although this appears to be just another black eye for the nation’s police force, there is potentially a much bigger issue here.

Cpl. Jim Brown isn’t just a police officer who is a sexual deviant on his own time and who likes to connect with other like-minded individuals to share their twisted experiences. He is the RCMP member who produced informant Ross Caldwell in mid-July, 1999, almost three years before the RCMP accidentally discovered evidence that Robert Willy Pickton had been disposing of women’s bodies on the Port Coquitlam property he shared with his brother David. Caldwell was an acquaintance of the Picktons who reported that Willy Pickton had been seen skinning a woman in the barn, that he kept handcuffs under his bed and that he owned night-vision equipment, a semi-automatic rifle and wigs that he wore when he went trolling downtown.

...

Willy Pickton didn’t kill up to 49 women by himself, not according to the jury who convicted him of six counts of second degree murder. The women whose remains were found at the pig farm were likely the victims of a group of sexual sadists and torturers, who likely included convicted murderer Willy Pickton himself.

How did Cpl. Jim Brown meet informant Ross Caldwell? Was Cpl. Jim Brown one of the sexual sadists frequenting Piggy’s Palace? Why didn’t the RCMP act on the important information he brought forward? Were the RCMP monitoring the gang activities, including the Angels’ visits to Piggy’s Palace? Why did the RCMP seemingly ignore a ten year string of serial murders? Did they have bigger fish to fry? How many murderers remain at large?
