Anton Bueckert aka Crow Qu'appelle of Nevermore Media and Mike Kiernan stepdad to missing person found deceased Chelsea Poorman join us for a gruesome chat about murders in BC, cover up's by RCMP, the ongoing missing indigenous women and a deep cut into the Pickton Pig Farm case.   We get into the Pickton story, especially since he was recently killed in jail just before day parole, the DNA from the case, Anton's Substack series - Canadian Nightmare, and the case of Mike's missing daughter and how he thought that was completely mishandled by the cops. We talk about the book "That Lonely Section of Hell".   Was Pickton a fall guy for the Hells Angels or worse? Why did the cops not seem to investigate Chelsea's disappearance? Are there any hero's in this story? What was Piggies Palace and how can one of the brothers still be working for the city? What was the time frame for this whole case? How did Michael find evidence left over at the scene at the mansion in Shaughnessy?   In the second half it get's worse if that is even possible. We talk about how this is still going on, how new highs are being hit in BC, or do they even know really how many women are missing? What about the 200,000 articles of evidence, and the 20 murders that he was not charged for? Why do they really wanna get rid of evidence and why was the VPD cockblocked by the RCMP?   Is this racism? Why is this still going on? Was the 2010 Olympics a cover to cleanse the perception of Vancouver and area? What about the additional 80 victims? What was happening with the bodies? Is the pig meat contaminated with human meat? What was it about Trudeau from Anton's previous Substacks? Is this whole thing connected with wider global human trafficking problem? Or was it just a local disposal service? And what about the child trafficking ring in Prince George past the Highway of Tears?   https://nevermoremedia.substack.com/p/canadian-nightmare-part-1 https://nevermoremedia.substack.com/p/the-never-ending-nightmare?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=787156&post_id=145739157&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=24pqe&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email https://www.facebook.com/michael.kiernan.5836 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRMbtfG3wus Crime Beat - Secrets of a Mansion   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/ or Rokfin www.Rokfin.com/Grimerica Patreon https://www.patreon.com/grimericaoutlawed   See links below for some stuff we chatted about during the show: https://www.facebook.com/groups/192587941440937/about/?utm_source=salmon%20arm%20observer&utm_campaign=salmon%20arm%20observer%3A%20outbound&utm_medium=referral https://www.vice.com/en/article/bv87w3/norman-traversy-a-qanon-supporter-has-raised-dollar140k-to-prosecute-justin-trudeau-for-something-or-other https://greystonebooks.com/products/that-lonely-section-of-hell Transcript of RCMP interrogation of Lynn Ellingsen: https://missingwomen.library.uvic.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/EXHIBIT-191-Document-entitled-Interviews-of-Lynn-ELLINGSEN.pdf Human meat "cross-contamination" with pork: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/alert-issued-about-meat-from-picktons-pig-farm/article1129163/ Is JT a chomo: https://open.substack.com/pub/nevermoremedia/p/is-justin-trudeau-a-child-molester?r=1dwjsk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Correction: https://open.substack.com/pub/nevermoremedia/p/i-was-wrong-about-justin-trudeau?r=1dwjsk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Coquitlam prison break: https://open.substack.com/pub/nevermoremedia/p/a-drug-lord-walked-out-of-prison?r=1dwjsk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web The other coquitlam prison break: https://open.substack.com/pub/nevermoremedia/p/the-other-criminal-mastermind-who?r=1dwjsk&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Canadian True Crime series: https://www.canadiantruecrime.ca/episodes/2017/12/6/15-robert-pickton-part-1 https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dark-mind-detective/id1474729098 ANTON'S PREVIOUS ARTICLES ABOUT MISSING AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN IN B.C.

On todays podcast I am very happy to chat with Brandon Grossutti of Pidgin Restaurant in Vancouver. A Vancouver native, Brandon's unique story of a real BC man, has taken him from fishing boats in the Haida Gwaii to owning an incredible popular upscale ding restaurant in Gastown.

His love of hospitality, his team and his family fuel his passion for making every guest who walks through Pidgin's feel like they are coming home themselves. I hope you enjoy the stories and insights. 

Crow Qu'Appelle joins us for a chat about NEVERMORE MEDIA, and leaving Woke Anarchy in Canada. We chat about being an activist for indigenous rights, seeing a shift of the freedom / Anarchy movement during COVID. We chat about Entryism, Anti Science, Anti Trump, metaphysics, defining definitions of words like Capitalism, Woke, Fascist, how they can call everyone Fascists, conversion therapy and the woke phenomenon.   In the extra long second half we get deeper into Indigenous Land Rights, #landback, Ontario governments restrictions on family land use (anti hippy laws), the Indian Act, the Arctic terrain in war, Canada's death, the DTES (Downtown East Side of Vancouver), Inuit suicides, issues with the right wing, sovereign village, pipeline protests, spontaneous order, and the revolution in mexico against the government and cartels.   We also chat about the collapse, electrifying Africa, animism, poly-crisis, circle of all nations, intentional communities, globalism, harm reduction, addiction, the drug war, big pharma, the Picton pig farm crime, the Hells Angels and RCMP, missing indigenous women, Gabor Mate, The opium wars, and the opportunity for Christians and Anarchists to bond.   "As an animist, I do welcome the paradigm shift that is coming into view. I like to tell people: If the COVID era hasn't made you question the nature of reality itself, you aren't thinking hard enough. And you're unsure as what the actual nature of reality is, does it not follow that unforeseeable variables will play into the equation in ways that the powers that be could not possibly have planned for?"   Can we leave our convenience behind or will we always be slaves to it? Can we be a part time revolutionary?   https://nevermore.media/   https://winteroakpress.files.wordpress.com/2023/07/there-is-nothing-1.pdf   https://winteroakpress.files.wordpress.com/2023/06/the-withway-paul-cudenec.pdf   See links to some stuff we chatted about:   https://nevermoremedia.substack.com/p/uniting-the-last-real-anarchists https://open.substack.com/pub/nevermoremedia/p/ten-things-you-need-to-know-about?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web https://anarchistnews.org/content/crow-fascist-drifts-and-people-who-are-not-comrades https://realpeoples.media/indigenous-women-are-still-being-murdered-in-vancouver/   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.   For second half of video (when applicable and audio) go to our Substack and Subscribe. https://grimericaoutlawed.substack.com/ or to our Locals  https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/   If you would rather watch on video: https://grimericaoutlawed.locals.com/post/4368408/crow-quappelle-post-trans-corrupted-leftism-anarchy-nevermore-media-substack-for-sale https://rumble.com/v33wndt-crow-quappelle.-post-trans-corrupted-leftism-anarchy.-nevermore-media-subst.html https://rokfin.com/stream/37397   Help support the show, because we can't do it without ya.
