HA Jason Arkinstall jailbound = 10 years

The sentencing of notorious HA Jason Arkinstall is over and the “extremely remorseful” veteran gangster is going away for a decade.

Jason Arkinstall was scheduled to be sentenced May 20 in Surrey. The high profile Mission HA was busted with Lawrence Edward Dwyer near Creston in October 2020 and charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and drug smuggling. The two ran back into Canada after being spotted in Idaho with five duffel bags of cocaine and meth worth more than US $2m. The two rabbits fled to Canada, leaving the dope in the U.S.

38kg of cocaine and 90kg of meth was seized.

Arkinstall was acquitted in Calgary in 2011 of uttering threats against cops. The judge said Arkinstall was 'physically abused.'

In 2013 Arkinstall was charged in Spain with HA Chad Wilson for trying to smuggle half a tonne of Colombian cocaine into the country. They were convicted and returned to Canada. Wilson was shot to death under the Golden Ears Bridge in 2018.

Orcs strike civilians - malice and cruelty

Ukraine’s defense minister said an IRIS-T air defense system from Germany and four additional HIMARS launchers from the US arrived. The IRIS-T is the first of four that Germany is sending. NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg said the “malice and cruelty” of Russia has resulted in 50 nations pledging support, including Canada. Russia fired 83 missiles at civilians, killing at least 70. 43 missles were shot down. There is no "practical military sense" in the strikes. Targets included Shevchenko Park, near a children's playground.

Germany announced today its sending it's air defense system to Ukraine. On Sept 25, Ukraine received the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System (NASAMS) from the US. Ukraine has again called for free nations to provide air defense systems. Biden spoke with Zelensky and pledged continued US security assistance “including advanced air defense systems.”

Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant on auxiliary power AGAIN

Russian missile attacks caused the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant to lose all external power for the second time in five days. Energoatom said diesel generators were supplying the plant but Russian troops blocked a convoy carrying additional fuel. The weaponization of civil nuclear plants makes for an unstable world.

Deputy head of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine, Valeriy Martynyuk, has been kidnapped by Russian forces and is being detained in an unknown location, Ukraine's state nuclear energy company Energoatom said.

Energoatom called on IAEA chief Rafael Grossi to help free Martynyuk. Grossi met with Putin today.

Zaporizhzhia city remains under Ukrainian control.

External power to the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant was restored. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant lost its last external power source as a result of artillery and is relying on emergency diesel generators. The plant’s link to a 750-kilovolt line was cut at 1am Saturday. All six reactors at Europe’s biggest nuclear plant are shut down but still require electricity for cooling and safety functions. Each generator has fuel for 10 days. If the cooling system fails, it could lead to an uncontrolled heat build-up, a meltdown, and a fire that would release and spread “catastrophic” radiation across Europe. The facility has been under Russian control for months. Putin has designated the plant "federal property."

Kunti 'Kunti-K' Kamara on trial for Liberian war crimes

The trial of Kunti Kamara, 48, a former commander for the United Liberation Movement of Liberia, began in France. 'Kunti-K' is being prosecuted under the legal principle of universal jurisdiction, which means crimes committed against all of humanity know no borders and can be tried anywhere in the world. Among the many gruesome allegations against Kamara is the torture and murder of a man who was said to have had his elbows tied together behind his back before Kamara cut open his rib cage, removed his heart and ate it.

He is responsible for the 1993 “ngisakornjai” murders in which six men were murdered on his orders.

Ukraine Leleka-100 drone helps strike “fat” targets

Soldiers located the Russian artillery battery, helped artillery target it, and then watched as most of it was destroyed.

Two Ukrainian soldiers stared into their laptop screens, set up in the back of their SUV. They were looking at, some 25 miles away, a Russian artillery battery positioned in a tree line. There were at least five heavy guns, trucks that probably carried ammunition and fuel and a counterbattery radar. This is what the Ukrainian military calls a 'fat' target.

Ukraine soldiers had no combat experience before Russia’s invasion. The drone's operators were cameramen for Ukrainian television before the war. “Grilled meat,” one deadpanned as another explosion flashed across his screen.

Quebec waste company Ricova in cop crosshairs

Ricova is in hot water for having defrauded the City of Montreal of more than $1m.

An RCMP intelligence report in 2020 indicated that Ricova and its leader, Domenico Colubriale, "may be" involved in "shipping container drug trafficking and money laundering through exports of recycled paper." Ricova is a major player in the waste industry in Quebec. The company manages sorting centers in Montreal and the South Shore. It is also responsible for garbage collection in many cities in the south of the province, as well as 25% of Montreal. Many of Ricova's recyclables vendors work from Colombia.

In June the company was blacklisted by the City of Montreal for five years, which prevents it from obtaining new contracts. Ricova applied to the court to have this decision overturned. The SQ reports contacts between one of Ricova's leaders and the Rizzuto clan. This individual heads the Ricova Services subsidiary. This company obtained at least $150m in public contracts over the past five years.
