Gilbert Bellegarde 31, charged
Melissa alerted me this morning that the second man charged in Amber Redman’s murder is the cousin of Patrick Bellegarde. His name is Gilbert, he’s 31 and he is also from Little Black Bear First Nation.
Serial killer’s tend to target victims within their own race. There are serial murders of Native women and girls stretching all over the country not least of which, Saskatchewan. I can’t help but think, coppers just took out two of the unknown number of serial killers stalking this country.
Kudo’s Coppers!

Albert Patrick Bellegarde 29, charged in Amber Redman’s Murder
UPDATE
From CBC News
Albert Patrick Bellegarde of the Little Black Bear First Nation has been charged with the first-degree murder of Redman, 19, who disappeared in 2005, the RCMP said Tuesday afternoon.
From News Talk Radio
Remains of what the RCMP believe to be the 19 year old who went missing three years ago were found Monday.
The only sound heard along the road is that of crickets and frogs as forensics team go about their painstaking work.
A small tent covers where Redman’s remains were found in a dense forest on the side of a grid road, just a few short steps from the gravel.
Being such a random spot, RCMP Sgt Brian Jones admits, the finding was no accident.
Five miles away a house is also being searched, some neighbours say it was abandoned.

An interesting interview with Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former prosecutor and talking head on Fox News, doesn’t buy the suicide prognosis of DC Madam Palfrey.

In this interview with Alex Jones of Infowars, Madam Palfrey made it very very clear she is not suicidal and if she should end up dead by apparent suicide, that she was murdered.
She was going to name names in court, Names like Cheney. She was not depressed she was incensed.

Bueno Cinco De Mayo!
Along with a list of the top 23 stories, I also found this quote over at Disinfo’s Myspace tonight.
Today’s Random WikiQuote: Kierkegaard
Once you label me you negate me.
— Søren Kierkegaard, born May 5, 1813
Found this yummy recipe (Ummmm Avacado and Cumin!) at the food network.
Turns out the Patron Saint of Pueblo, (birthplace of Cinco de Mayo) happens to be one of my favorite angels, Michael the ass kicking, riverboat rowing, death defying messenger of Heaven. So I thought I’d add an image of him too.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!

The Countertraffickers
A little drop of hope landed in my inbox this morning (Thanks Wayne 
)
Just in time amidst the Austrian horrors and the FLDR situation in Texas comes this article about a woman and her team of international super heros who repatriate people trafficked to other countries, mainly women, mainly sex slaves.

Frau Fritzl
Police keep insisting that Fritzl’s wife was completely unaware of the secret family in her basement.
Personally, I find that very difficult to believe.
Sister in law describes Fritzl as a scary tyrant, so frightening that she herself was scared to even talk to him at family gatherings. She paints a picture of her sister as a victim afraid of her husband.
Good lord, fear is fear, but come on! If I knew my sister was married to a violent scary tyrant, I’d address it with her. never would I turn the other way.
Now, a witness who lived in a flat above the dungeon claims he saw Frau Fritzl assist Herr Fritzl in stocking the cellar with groceries, far more than a family of five would need.
Frau Fritzl innocent victim, indeed.

Insane?
The man who spent six years preparing an underground dungeon for his daughter, where he then imprisoned her for 22 years and begot 7 children on her is pleading insanity.
The mind that was able to dominate 15 people in his household, the mind that came up with intricate architectural plans for an underground slave bunker, the man who took numerous trips to Thailand and managed to hide half his family for two decades is pleading out to insanity.
I imagine this sick f*ck is insane, but he’s not so insane that he doesn’t know right from wrong. Had he not known the difference, then why the elaborate and near successful plans to hide his underground life?
While other’s are describing the man as having an astonishingly agile criminal mind.
Here’s what his lawyer had to say, talk about sick f*cks:
Mr Mayer also complained that he is receiving hate mail and telephone threats because of his decision to defend Fritzl. He said: “I am getting letters saying I should be locked up together with Fritzl. But I am not representing a monster; I am representing a human being.
“As I first saw him, the Latin term Pater Familias came to mind. It was used to describe the absolute head of the family – caring, but strict. Nowadays people would call that a patriarch.”
Holy crap batman are you serious? - Caring but strict?
How many more of our missing are stuck in some underground prison?
A good question asked by Thomas Glavinic as he explores the Austrian Psyche and the reams of missing people from that country.

Remember Natascha? There were whispers of an accomplice.
Now a neighbor claims to have witnessed at least one other man enter the cellar of Fritzl. He was said to be a plumber. And a high profile lawyer, Martin Wabl has some startling revelations about Natascha’s own mother. He has compelling evidence and witnesses who claim Natascha’s mother knew her abductor and actually planned the abduction to hide the fact her daughter had been used for pornographic films by a pedophile group. Familiar? Frau Fritzl spotted stalking the cellar with food.
Something is rotten in Austria when the neighborhood knew of Fritzles repeated rapes of his then 11 year old daughter, and did NOTHING!
They should all join Fritzl in prison.

Rosita Swinton
The searches of the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Texas began with a series of telephone calls placed to a crisis center by a teen named Sara Jessop Barlow. Sarah claimed to have been married against her will to a fifty year old man. She claimed she already had one child and was pregnant with another.
I thought I would have been over joyed at the idea of ’saving’ over 400 children from abuse. I had been increasingly frustrated by BC’s own reluctance to address the brewing situation in Bountiful BC, the Canadian home of the FLDR breakaway sect. Then here comes Texas leaping without so much as a little lookey see doing what Colorado, Utah and Bountiful couldn’t or wouldn’t do. I shoulda been happy. Instead I felt uneasy. maybe it was the haste the Texan authorities used to wield the hammer of Law that gave me a sense of unease, I don’t know. But I kept thinking where is Sarah?
The searches of the ranch, ended with the removal of over 400 children from the ranch and loads of documents that seem to support Sarah’s accusations of ritual underage marriages. Yet, there were no child brides anywhere to be found. And no Sarah that fit the profile.
Update: 25 mother’s have now been identified as being minors, that is under the age of 18.
Daily accounts of children, separated from their mothers, daily reports of the machinations of the sect - the routine splitting and reassigning families to different men, the recent massive movements of people across boarders and the indoctrination of suspicion the kids were steeped in made who’s who impossible to determine. The confusion these children must be experiencing just guts me.
Wednesday, records lead investigators to the cell phones that were used to place the calls. These phones were not located on the ranch, not even close. These phones were traced back to a 33 year old delegate of Barack Obama. Rosita Swinton a former insurance broker, and consummate crier of “Wolf!” has admitted to making the calls.

A new perspective on a particular matter has confirmed your suspicions. Yes, someone is being rather unreasonable. Public executions aren’t allowed in this country, but you will, find an equally satisfying punishment.
