William Elliot has his work cut out, not to mention a potential conflict of interest… something only a lawyer could appreciate

In the last thirty years of my life I have dealt with police officers in at least five different countries. In South America you can walk right out of jail for the right amount of money while in Britain they will kill you with kindness. In the United States, the FBI took professionalism to unusual heights, sometimes unable to receive complaints from the general population unless formulated in legal jargon often lost on regular individuals, who would rather simply understand that something is wrong rather than breakdown the various infractions in point form. But to their credit and especially since 9/11, the FBI started paying attention to civilians that had something to say, sometimes…But no matter where you are in the world, no matter which police force, lawyers are the enemy. Lawyers are to police officers what oppression is to the rule of law. In some jurisdiction being a lawyer is not something one would brag about without running the risk of being shot.For the past thirty years I excelled at breaking rules. I turned down the opportunity to become an RCMP officer when I was seventeen years old, I wanted to get things done without the burden of lawyering every single steps. An affidavit does little for a twelve year old girl killed by her older brother at her father’s request because her uncle, her father’s brother, raped her and therefore, brought disrepute to the family name.For those of you who think that this might be an extraordinary case think again, this happens regularly right now in Turkey, as I write this, odds are that a young woman, even a child in Turkey, is likely to be murdered for being a victim of sexual aggression.Where are the police you might wonder. They are right there picking up the pieces, powerless with authority granted by their government whom would rather turn a blind eye than to loose an election or worst, get thrown out of power by Muslim interest groups that believe that this little girl was wrong, simply because she was born an attractive woman.The police is influenced by politics and politicians, lawyers for the most part.Then in Canada there is the venerable RCMP, soon to be run and fixed by, a lawyer…Since 1991, I have been at odds with the RCMP in two specific investigations that I was involved in. One was the disappearance of a young girl that had migrated to British Columbia and got in trouble with Heroin dealers while the other was a theft case that saw more than three hundred million dollars worth of cash and assets swept from right under the nose of the lawyers that were hired to protect the assets of the company.While on the one hand the RCMP was very interested in developing the contacts I had initiated with the Heroin importers, they weren’t ready to waste years of investigating work that developed information about the drug cartel by looking into why so many prostitutes were missing.While Pickton might have had nothing to do with the cartel, the girls by their very predicament and drug use, created an unexpected opportunity to investigate early allegations of murder, allegations that were ignored because, there might have been a risk of exposing informants that were providing intelligence on the cartel. That would have had a catastrophic impact on the budget of the Heroin squad whereas years of intelligence gathering would have been wasted on prostitutes and drug addicts.There was no one who took the decision to turn a blind eye on the Pickton murders, there was never any clear allegations formulated to officers of the RCMP, no, just the need to focus on the acquisition of information. That women were disappearing was all but a trivial tidbit of information, a distraction from the information gathering role that needed to focus on the heroin commerce.For my part I had never discuss the issue with any RCMP officers because I didn’t know at the time about the allegations but, I did hear about individuals being fed to pigs because they posed a risk to the cartel. It wasn’t until the Pickton case became public that I developed concerns over what the RCMP might have known about the disappearance and/or Pickton himself.I abandoned the disappearance case when I decided to investigate a securities theft of in excess of three hundred million dollars.Allied Cellular Systems Ltd., was a Canadian public entity that had raised close to four million dollars on the Vancouver Stock Exchange to purchase rights to operate cellular telephone networks in the United States.Allied purchased or otherwise obtained rights to operate fifteen cellular systems for less than three million dollars. The licences’ value exploded and, once the systems were built and operational, the assets were worth in excess of three hundred million dollars.Management of the company concealed the true value of the assets and arranged for the sale of the assets to be paid to entities that were incorporated overseas, mostly located in the Isle of Man.The accounts in England and the Cayman Islands were operated by individuals with direct ties to the CIA.The case eventually stagnated until June of 2001 when suddenly all the assets managed by the group were being liquidated for no obvious reasons. By that time more than eight billion dollars was being “ managed” by the various individuals however, one of these individuals, namely Peter Bond of the then Riggs-Valmet, was granted immunity by the Justice Department in the United States in an irrelevant bankruptcy case involving a fly by night broker by the name of Brennan.In August of 2001, I contacted the Prime Minister’s office, insisting that the RCMP re-consider the complaint I had filed in 1994 on behalf of the shareholders. Eventually the Vancouver detachment of the RCMP was contacted by the Prime Minister’s office and a discussion ensued between Officer in charge Bennington and myself. Bennington concluded that there was enough serious circumstances to appoint an investigator and a meeting was agreed upon to further discuss the issues, the date was set for Tuesday the 11th of September 2001, I was to talk to Sgt. Fozard.On September the 11th, I advised both the RCMP and the Prime Minster that we had information about the financing of the attacks and the RCMP ignored the request to receive the allegations.The FBI on the other hand paid attention and four years later arrested a man in New York state that had recruited eighteen young Canadians for the purpose of conducting attacks on Canadian soil.Our files also helped the families of 9/11 victims disqualify Dr. Henry Kissinger from being appointed co-chair of the 9/11 commission and, in separate matters, exposed Riggs Bank in a money laundering scheme that identified General Augusto Pinochet and Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Mr. Bandar and his wife.Riggs Bank was fined a record twenty five million dollars and was sold. Augusto Pinochet was to be brought back to court in his native Chile before he past away and as I write this, the Justice Department is investigating Prince Bandar for having received in excess of twenty million dollars from a British Arms Manufacturer, BAE. All transactions went through Riggs Bank and a slew of shell companies in the Isle of Man and elsewhere, that were managed by Peter Bond, the same guy that was granted immunity by the Justice department a few years back.My job was done.The RCMP on the other hand failed to investigate a theft of in excess of three hundred million dollars U.S.From 1994 until August of 2001, the RCMP had the opportunity to act and protect the interests of a Canadian company but they decided against it. As a result, the group of individuals that operated the Isle of Man Schemes thrived and were out of control. Funds from Isle of Man accounts went through the Royal Bank of Scotland and out through ATM machines in the United States from accounts belonging to the individuals that conducted the worst attack on American soil.These Isle of Man accounts were also used as financial incubators for various slush funds. Some of the proceeds from the Isle of Man accounts were ear marked for Canadian politicians, namely Brian Mulroney, for his role in facilitating the purchase of Airbus aircrafts from Airbus Industries while he was still in office as Prime Minister of Canada.Another allegation that the RCMP refused to explore.Now, the Canadian government his proposing to fix the RCMP by appointing a man, a civilian and a lawyer, that owes his career to the very people that should be under investigation. The very people affiliated with entities and bank accounts directly related to the financing of the 9/11 attacks.If this government cannot appreciate the need for a Royal Commission to investigate the role of political influence on the RCMP and what it has incurred in the last ten years, perhaps this government is intent on obstructing justice by appointing one of their own to subdue the officers of the RCMP.Through and because of his political affiliations, William Elliot is in a situation whereas he might be deemed to be in a conflict of interests and, in his role as Commissioner of the RCMP, he could hardly do anything but obstruct justice unless he compels the ressources of the RCMP to investigate politically charged cases that center around his old bosses and the murders of many innocent victims.Otherwise we might as well be in Turkey.
