Gangster to be allowed to stay in Canada!

Reputed gangster allowed to stay in Canada

Federal Court Justice Yves de Montigny late last night granted reputed gangster Jackie Tran a last-minute reprieve from deportation.


"Obviously, Mr. Tran is ecstatic," Sharma said after talking to his client.


"Mr. Tran cannot be deported," Sharma said of his clients last minute reprieve from deportation, for now.


Officials say Tran, whose real name is Nghia Trong Nguyen-Tran, should be deported back to Vietnam, given he is said to be involved in organized crime.


Sharma in part won the emergency stay based on the argument he still has a viable case to make to try and argue against deportation.


Tran was arrested most recently when he failed to attend a meeting with immigration officials on Tuesday, a breach of release conditions set in October 2008.


Tran is also waiting on a ruling in another hearing, where CBSA officials argued he should be removed based on organized criminality.

Tom Clay - "What The World Needs Now Is Love" (with MP3)

clipped by: Lexica
Clip Source: kd4dcy.net
Tom Clay

had just begun to make his mark on the L.A. radio scene

Clay?s show on KDAY, called ?Words and Music?, was a grand experiment in combining creative editing, the spoken word, and other audio from newsbites and the like into a cohesive medium

Clay assembled a piece that caught the attention of Motown?s Berry Gordy

The audio montage recalled with startling clarity the four most galvanizing events of the 1960s; the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy, and the Vietnam war.

The recording is surprisingly clean for a transfer from vinyl

A few explanatory notes

all of the online transcripts I can find are wrong. So, I?ve transcribed the recording very carefuly and accurately myself.

Letter to Nancy Pelosi, from Dennis Guthrie, Attorney

clipped by: willhelm
clippers remarks: ...I find it interesting that you and your husband are multi-millionaires with much of your fortune being made as a result of your ?public service?. You have controlled legislation that has enhanced your husband?s investments both on and off shore. At the same time you redistributed the wealth of others. Our system of a free market economy is being destroyed by the likes of you, Harry Reid, and now our President. You ride around in a Gulfstream airplane at the tax payer?s expense while criticizing the presidents of companies who produced something for the economy. You add nothing to the economy of the United States; you only subtract therefrom.

I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husband?s canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have.

I await your defeat in the next election with glee.


Dear Ms. Pelosi:

I write to you out of utter disdain! You are as despicable and un-American as the traitor Jane Fonda.


I am a soon to be 65 year-old who has voted in every state and local election since 1966. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats alike. I have worked on campaigns for both Republicans and Democrats, white and black. I served the country that I love in Vietnam, as my son did in the Middle East. I was awarded two bronze stars. I have been involved in politics since age 6 when my father was campaign manager for a truly great American Congressman, Charles Raper Jonas, who worked for his constituents and his country, and was to be admired, unlike you.


You obviously haven?t read the Constitution recently, if ever, the Federalist Papers, or even David McCullough?s book on John Adams. You ought to take the time while riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet to do just that.
