13. Witness claims that the main security officer for the Musqueam reserve, ex-Edmonton policeman David LAVALLEE, is part of this enforcement/goon squad. LAVALLEE left the Edmonton police under a cloud of suspicion concerning his involvement in the rape and disappearance of local women and children.
14. Witness claims that the members of this enforcement/goon squad are responsible for the deaths of numerous Musqueam band members, often through staging fake car accidents or executing people with drug overdoses. These deaths occur in order to seize the homes and land of the murdered persons, and secure the power of the SPARROW-GUERIN clique. One such murder occurred in 2000 when a young native woman named GANARJEE was evicted for not being able to pay her property taxes, which had been wrongfully increased by the GUERIN-SPARROW clique. She then became homeless on Hastings street , was addicted to drugs by CAMPBELL , and then “overdosed” and died. The SPARROW family then received her home and property.
15. Witness claims that GANARJEE’s property was seized by lawyer Marvin STORROW of Blake, Cassells and Graydon law firm in Vancouver , who works closely with the SPARROW clique and their relative Chief Ed JOHN. (Note: STORROW represented JOHN in a 2002 BC Supreme Court lawsuit that silenced JOHN’s critics and imposed a gag order on any media reporting of the accusations of criminal actions by JOHN. )STORROW has a long history of involvement with the Musqueam band and the SPARROW family (see Exhibit D) and has strong ties with the federal Liberal party. Leona SPARROW who is associated with the PICTONs and concealed their activity at Musqueam (see Point No. 6) has worked for STORROW’s law firm.
16. Other lawyers and firms associated with the SPARROW clique and their activities include Lou HARVEY and Smithe-Radcliffe law firm. HARVEY is an old associate of STORROW and has helped to steal and illegally transfer Musqueam land into the control of Squamish politicians working for the federal government.
17. Witness claims that the SPARROW clique evade federal laws limiting the commercial sale of salmon by aboriginal people, and completely monopolize an illegal blackmarket in fish operating out of the Musqueam reserve... Wendy GRANT-JOHN (a former SPARROW) operates her own fish store, Longhouse Seafoods in the Dunbar region of Vancouver , which illegally sells sockeye and other salmon. The enforcement/goon squad silence band criticism of these acts.
18. Similarly, in a written statement dated December 26, 2005, the witness claims “For the record, all the elders whom have died, it’s Wendy’s family (who) lives in each and every home that comes from another unexpected death … they (the SPARROW clique) have a group of people monitoring each band member and so they wait for a window of opportunity to strike. They pick targets in the community and slowly tear them apart – dilibritly destroy lives.”
19. The witness has drawn three separate maps of the Musqueam reserve that identify the location of two major body dumping and burial sites (Exhibit E, 1-3).
Witness #4: Retired aboriginal man in his late fifties, a band councilor and member of the Musqueam band and a friend of Witness #3. Given name is Arthur STOGAN sr, he is a direct descendent of the hereditary chiefs of the Musqueam people. Resides on the reserve, phone 604-263-6295 .His lifelong residence at Musqueam and involvement as a band councilor gives him a personal knowledge of the facts he alleges herein. Initial statement made on videotape during the period 9 May – June 6, 2005, with additional statements made during period of 3 December – 18 January, 2006, in Vancouver .
1. Witness affirms all that witness #3 alleges in his statement, adding that he and his extended family are being targeted by the SPARROW clique for their opposition to the crimes described. In particular, witness claims that his grandchildren have been deliberately seized by Ministry of Children and Family (MCF) officials and sent into foster homes operated by known pedophiles in order to silence the witness and force him into conformity. (See Exhibit F) (Note: MCF was run by SPARROW relative and Musqueam enforcer Ed JOHN during 2000-2001 when he served in the provincial government after being appointed, though unelected, to the cabinet of Premier Ujjal DOSANJH)..
2. Witness claims that after the death of his father, Vincent STOGAN, the hereditary chief of the Musqueam, in 2000, attacks against he and his family were made by the SPARROW clique on the reserve, especially after the witness began to speak out against that clique’s corrupt and nepotistic practices. These attacks culminated in February of 2004, when all fourteen of the witnesses’ grandchildren were seized by Xyolhemeylh, the Child Protection Society of the Sto”lo First Nation near Chilliwack . Witness was denied any visiting rights, even though one of his grand daughters was placed in the home of a convicted pedophile by Xyolhemeylh worker Loretta ROSZA, who also falsified reports and made false claims about the children. ROSZA is associated with Wendy GRANT-JOHN (SPARROW) through the Sumas First Nation. Both the Chilliwack and Mission detachments of the RCMP refused to investigate complaints by the witness regarding these actions. (Exhibit F)
3. Witness states that another reason for this attack on he and his family is his discovery of evidence that the present SPARROW clique and their relatives cooperated with the federal government in destroying traditional records and histories of the Musqueam and Coast Salish people during the 1970’s, as part of the effort to ethnically cleanse west coast aboriginal people and steal their land. A letter from the Department of Indian Affairs dated September 22, 1972 states that individual records of native people in B.C. were to be destroyed under the scrutiny of Chief Clarence Joe, a SPARROW relative. (see Exhibit G)These records included evidence of original land ownership and genealogy..
4. Witness states that there is a direct link between criminal and pedophile networks involving aboriginal politicians in both Musqueam and Cowichan nations because of traditional kinship ties across Georgia Straight. Witness claims that Joe BECKER, Delbert GUERIN and Andrew CHARLES are linked to Cowichan chiefs who are heavily involved in the drug trade, illegal fishing and pedophile rings operating out of Nanaimo , centred around the HARRIS family of the Chemainus First Nation.
5. In December of 2005, the witness compiled these allegations into a letter to Amnesty International, and sent with this letter forensic samples of the alleged human remains unearthed by Witness #3 at the Musqueam burial site visited by the PICTONs. This letter and package were returned to the witness unopened. Both witness and Witness #3 live in daily fear for their lives.
Witness #5: An aboriginal man, age fifty five, who is traditional hereditary chief of the Chemainus Nation in Oyster Bay , BC , on Vancouver Island. Given name is Steven SAMPSON jr., he resides on his traditional family land near Shell Beach .. He has lived all of his life in proximity with the people described in his statement, and as a traditional chief and a former activist in the American Indian Movement and the Red Power Movement, he has direct and personal knowledge of the facts alleged herein. Statement made during the period 3-19 June, 2005, in Shell Beach .
1. Witness claims that the present leadership of the Chemainus First Nation is deeply involved in illegal activity, and are responsible for murders on the local reserves. This leadership revolves around George HARRIS and George, Ed and Peter SEYMOUR, whom witness claim operate the local drug and child trafficking and child *bleep* networks in conjunction with Nanaimo criminal Willie CURRIE. CURRIE operates a local equivalent of the PICTON “Pig Farm” in a house on Jingle Pot Road in Nanaimo , where he has raped and murdered numerous young girls, including Lisa Marie DEYONG in 2004.
2. Witness states that George HARRIS is closely connected to the GUERIN-SPARROW clique in Musqueam, and engages in illegal fishing and drug importation practices with them across Georgia Straight. The parents of HARRIS, Irene and Lawrence HARRIS, were Catholic church-sponsored “watchmen” who transported children into the Kuper Island Residential School during the 1940’s and ‘50’s, and who were descended from collaborating puppet “chiefs” set up by Catholic missionaries in the 19thcentury.
3. Witness claims that the HARRIS clique have tried to force him and his family off their land for years, through physical intimidation, murder, poisoning their water, and attempting to kill off the SAMPSON blood line through involuntary sterilizations inflicted on both of the witness’ sons, Troy and Steve, at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, BC.
Witness #6: Aboriginal woman in her mid-fifties, given name is Bernice WILLIAMS (native name SKUNDAAL), of Haida and Nuu-Chah-Nulth ancestry. Member of the Downtown Eastside Womens’ Centre in Vancouver, and an activist since the 1970’s with native and womens’ groups across B.C. Statement made on April 3 and April 28, 2006, in Vancouver, B.C.
1. Witness claims that a senior Vancouver police officer named Dave DICKSON is responsible for the rape and murder of numerous aboriginal women in the downtown eastside. DICKSON holds a senior position of responsibility in the Missing Womens’ Task Force and is very prominent in the downtown eastside of Vancouver, serving on community liaison boards.
2. Witness claims that she has been attacked on several occasions by policemen and women associated with DICKSON because of her investigation into the missing women. In February, 2006, witness was attacked without warning by five policemen in an alley of the two hundred block east Hastings , was struck in the head, pepper-sprayed and handcuffed, and was being forced into a police van for a “midnight ride”, during which she expected to be killed. Witness screamed for help and a local resident saw the attack, and raised a furor, at which point the police let the witness go. A similar attack and near-murder was inflicted on witness' co-worker, Carol MARTIN.
3. Witness confirms the statements of Witness #1, Annie PARKER, concerning the identity of Bruce MICHAELSON and other police connected to the disappearance, torture, rape and murder of women in Vancouver.
4. Witness claims that the disappearance of Vancouver aboriginal women as part of the aforementioned “Hooker Game” is directly connected to the murder of women in northern B.C. along the so-called “Highway of Tears”, and is being actively covered-up by government, judges and police in B.C.
5. Witness claims that she and her associates at the Downtown Eastside Womens’ Centre (DEWC) face continual harassment by the police and by former DEWC senior staff, some of whom actively resisted their efforts to expose the murderers of aboriginal women in Vancouver . Witness claims that these staff and others are aware of the identity of these murderers and are working with city police and others to conceal their identity.
6. Witness claims that the disappearance of women in the downtown eastside is related to the drug trade which is heavily controlled by the Vancouver police, the RCMP, and their underworld associates. Drugs are imported from overseas, especially from Asia, in magnetic containers attached to the outer hulls of deep-sea vessels moored at Ballentyne Pier on Vancouver's waterfront. The unloaded drugs are supervised by police and loaded into ambulances driven by Vancouver paramedics.
7. Witness also claims that many of the disappeared women were Indian residential school survivors, and were killed because of their knowledge of the involvement of church and government officials in the deaths of children in the residential schools. The disappeared also include aboriginal men who were traditional elders or in chiefly lineage, and hence were eligible for title to lands all over B.C. Witness mentions at least one murdered woman, Ms. Obotsway, who was threatening to "tell all" about such murders just before she disappeared in the summer of 1998, after she attended a session of the UN affiliated Tribunal into residential schools organized by Kevin ANNETT.
Witness #7: Aboriginal woman, now deceased, age seventy three at time of her demise. Given name was Harriett NAHANEE, native name Tsebeoilt, of the Squamish native band in North Vancouver. Witness died in Vancouver prison in February 2007 after being arrested soon after mounting a legal challenge against the government-funded Squamish band council for their alleged illegality in selling off land without permission for 2010 Olympic "Sea to Sky" highway. Interviews were conducted over a four year period during 1995-6, and then again 2001-2003.
1. Witness claimed that she witnessed the murder of a fellow student while incarcerated at the United Church residential school in Port Alberni, BC, December 24, 1946. Victim's name was Maisie Shaw, age 14, murdered by Principal Alfred Caldwell. (Vancouver Sun, December 18, 1995) Witness claimed that many children at the Alberni school were used in pedophile rings involving senior church and police officials, and that this ring continues to the present day and in Vancouver, is based out of the elite Vancouver Club at 915 West Hastings.
2. Witness claimed to have witnessed the transportation of two children from her home Squamish Indian reserve to the backdoor of the Vancouver Club on an evening in February, 1999. A white stretch limosine picked up two local native children, ages eight and nine years old, wearing heavy makeup, and was followed by NAHANEE and aboriginal reporter Noel LITTLE to the rear of the Vancouver Club.. Witness departed, but the site was monitored by LITTLE until approx. 3 am, when both children appeared form the back door carport entrance of the Club. They appeared hurt and disoriented. LITTLE attempted to speak to and interview the children. He was quickly grabbed from behind by unkown assailants, knocked unconscious, and his tape recorder was stolen. The children vanished and were never seen again.
3. Witness claimed that several Squamish band council chiefs and staff members are actively involved in providing children from their reserve to the Vancouver Club pedophile ring, and receive judicial protection from Supreme Court judges ESSON and MACEACHERN. Witness claimed that native lawyer Renate AUGER had the Vancouver Club infiltrated in the fall of 1993, and obtained photographs of ESSON engaged sexually with a young boy under ten years old. AUGER was subsequently disbarred and her life was threatened, she fled the province and the photos disappeared.
4. Witness claimed that in the fall of 1998, after speaking at the U.N. Tribunal into residential schools, she was approached by a man named James CRAVEN and offered money if she would publicly denounce her ally, Kevin ANNETT, and join a government-sponsored "black ops" smear campaign against ANNETT. CRAVEN told witness that he had received FBI training in surveillance and had worked with undercover groups monitoring the Vancouver Club. CRAVEN confirmed to witness the pedophile activity at the Club and spoke of his knowledge of the involvement of United Church lawyer and national church official Jon JESSIMAN in the Club pedophile ring. (JESSIMAN led the campaign to expel and defrock Kevin ANNETT from the United Church after ANNETT uncovered the link between the Alberni residential school sex ring and the Vancouver Club, while a minister in Port Alberni.CRAVEN continues to incite people against ANNETT with classic smear tactics and misinformation).
