Dec. 22, 2006: Basi / Basis - Virk - Third Parties

Somewhere, among the turkey dinner, the cocktail parties, the schmoozing ... lies the shadow ... the ghost of Christmases past


Check for the words "money laundering". It is too late to do more but I seem to remember the words. Maybe it is only because this affected banks and a securities company , not just BC Rail and the BC government. Note the alternate spelling of Basi / Basis. FHTR


Website: The Legislature Raids

Header: Why did R.C.M.P. and Victoria police raid the B.C. Legislature on 28 December 2003? Why is the public left without answers to that question? Let's share what we know.

Note: there is an alternate spelling for Basi / Basis ... and that this begins with Count 9.

Also, in "disclosing confidential government documents and confidential government information" ... who were the "interested third parties" mentioned?

[....] Two counts against two of the men in more detail:
Count 9

Digression: For more on this, check past posts on Frost Hits the Rhubarb and / or News Junkie Canada from December, 2003, 2004 or 2005. If time allows, I'll check and update later. Also, there were posts on FHTR lately, which mentioned TD Securities Inc.

I believe there was also mention of banks and TD Securities Inc. here:

To return to "The Legislature Raids"

Christmas is that time of year news hounds find a plethora of news that may be overlooked ... Christmas is such a busy time ... but that is when some news topics just expand ... akin to "They just growed and growed, like Topsy."

There is good information on this website which expands into BC Rail and more, if you link, but I wanted to bring to your attention this:

[....] The FlimFlam men have come to town and they've been made welcome. It's Doctor Do NoGood's travelling snake oil show, come one come all. Dig in your pocket, buy a bottle of this elixir, drink it and do not notice your wetlands are being drained, your forests shaved, your children dumbed down and your politicians are hand-in-glove with the corporations. All the way to the top.

Steve is going to pour millions into a plan to assess the types and amounts of toxic chemicals being poured into the environment. That doesn't mean he's going to make them stop pouring, it just means a new bureaucracy, keeping track (more or less and probably more less than more more) of what it is has inflated the rate of childhood chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

But not to worry. Because both levels of government are going to "do something" about the starving homeless on Vancouver streets and have the streets clean before 2010 when the world comes to watch the privileged play winter games. And THAT is going to mean that small towns in remote areas have a surge in population as these poor b*****ds * are deported to areas where they won't be seen by the moneyed crowd when it arrives. It would be quicker and cheaper to just gas the bastards but if anyone noticed we'd be in warm water so we'll do our own polite version of ethic cleansing and send 'em to Spuzzum or Horsefly or Leaky Gumboot or Patched Elbow. Well, not Patched Elbow, that's in Saskabush.

YA BIN HAD!! YER STILL BEIN HAD!!

Is it an accident? Who profits? [....]

Forgive my bit of editing with the asterisks. Bud has. (*) I assume, also, that BC Mary also wishes all a Merry Christmas, and fruitful reading. Good stuff, BC Mary!
