Fun fact: 🇨🇦 issues student visas to anyone with a few bucks.

Here’s a quick thread on the hundreds of criminals that organized crime groups set up in 🇨🇦 using student visas.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ 🇺🇸’s DEA claims El Chapo made $3m/day in 🇨🇦 prior to his arrest, and they were surprised by how “deep infiltration” was.

His point man in 🇨🇦? Jesus Herrera Esperanza, aka Hondo—a “student” in 🇨🇦. No one knows where Hondo is these days. Image
3/ One of the world’s most powerful gangsters is former TO resident Lawrence Bishnoi—a 31 y/o that runs a global assassin & extortion network… from prison for the past 10 years.

His empire is allegedly run by his #2—Satinderjeet Singh, aka Goldy Brar. I wonder what he studied. Image
4/ speaking of Goldy Brar, two of his alleged associates arrived on student visas. They’re accused of participating in the murder that caused a diplomatic row with India.

One got a visa faster than someone in 🇨🇦 can get a license. Image
5/ it’s not a secret. 🇨🇦’s border agency audited 300 students & found 10 were organized crime.

Considering the CBSA fails to identify notorious mobsters & war criminals, these 10 must have wrote “gang stuff” under purpose of visit to be identified. Image
6/ You know how 🇨🇦 is considering pulling back on student visas because of the pressure on housing?

LOL. Nope! It’s because the CBSA testified that they realized back in 2018 that gangs were using student visas to send their members. Image
7/ to be fair, it’s a general problem in 🇨🇦.

Back in the day, 🇨🇦 used to be where organized crime heads would hide when they got in trouble to avoid scrutiny.

Word must have got out, because 🇨🇦’s now trying to catch 29k fugitives—300 considered immediate public danger. Image
8/ let’s quickly circle back to the CBSA finding this out in 2018.

That’s a lie. I know this because this is the index from a leaked CSIS report from 1996 on how the Triads are setting up in 🇨🇦.

Been bothering me for 10+ years now–even the leaks are missing this one section. Image

Pst… while the normies are sleeping—let’s talk about serial killers.

Specifically, the 70s boom & bust. Most experts attribute the disappearance of serial killers to improved social conditions.

What if the only thing that disappeared is the data? This gets wild.

<thread> 🧵👇 Image
2/ first rule of data literacy: what are we looking at?

This chart shows 🇺🇸 data from the Radford/FGCU, which defines a serial killer as someone who murders 2 or more in separate instances.

That definition broadens the label—even reclassifying infamous murderers like Ed Gein.
3/ Experts often attribute the rise to:
- Mobility: New highways let killers flee; victims were farther from home & community

- Post-war trauma: Returning vets passed trauma to their kids

- Anonymity: As people moved further from home, they knew fewer neighbors

🇨🇦: Canada Post is losing money.

The left thinks that’s okay. The right thinks it now needs to be sold off.

The elites & their politicians? They don’t want you to realize that Canada Post’s losses were manufactured so they could loot a public asset.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ InnovaPost was Canada Post’s in house IT provider, handling key infrastructure like email and its shipping platform.

Brilliant. This allows internal transfer for the lowest cost, since any profits are returned.

It was sold to Deloitte in 2024. Obvs they must be suckers.
3/ Canada Post built SCI, a third-party logistics company (3LP) w/ synergistic operations. It was one of 🇨🇦’s largest 3PLs, essential ecommerce infrastructure.

“SCI has been a strong performer for the Canada Post Group of Companies over the years,” Canada Post’s CEO in 2024.

Have you noticed smart people are suddenly irrational—ignoring facts & embracing narrative?

It’s not your imagination—it’s a biological phenomenon exploited by leaders & we’re all vulnerable to it.

Let’s talk about amygdala flooding & neurobiological hijacking.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran pastor executed for trying to kill Hitler, famously touched on this in his theory of stupidity.

Stumped by the normal people he knew suddenly becoming Nazis, he concluded they’re not evil—they’re stupid.

Stupidity is way worse than you think.
3/ to him , stupidity is surrendering one’s ability to think, making one incapable of self-reflection or moral judgment.

It’s not greed. People are so stressed they’re outsourcing thinking.

This is why facts have no impact—there’s no consideration.

🇨🇦’s wild these days.
- Money laundering capital of the world
- the global fentanyl “command & control center”
- home to transnational organized crime heads
- at least 1 in 7,800 residents are members of organized crimes.

How did this happen so fast?

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ first of all, most folks in 🇨🇦 don’t realize how bad things are yet, they’re just dealing with the consequences.

Soaring housing costs. Rising car thefts. Unaffordable housing, Overdoses in your hood. Violence in your streets.

All related.
3/ 🇨🇦’s home prices soared in the mid-2010s due to laundering.

Fentanyl proceeds were washed in casinos, then layered w/housing. It’s now called the Vancouver model.

Home prices surged since comps were skewed, & launderers WANT to pay more.

Dive into this later.

Funny story. About a year ago I was crunching 🇨🇦’s immigration data & found a really neat issue.

… over 1 in 6 of 🇨🇦’s claimed immigrants don’t actually exist in the country.

<thread> 🧵👇
2/ I was looking at immigrant cohorts from the 1980s & forward, & noticed an interesting pattern: 1 in 7 would disappear from taxfiler data.

They drop out faster in recent data, but still consistent. In finance a predictable pattern usually means 1 of 2 things: fraud or error.
3/ so I contact Stat Can & inquire to make sure I understood the data correctly. I did.

About a month later, Stat Can conducts a study & concludes *drumroll* 1 in 6 immigrants probably left the country… since 1980.

🇨🇦 isn’t sure because it doesn’t track departures.

🇨🇦 just busted 3 fentanyl labs in 2 days.

All well equipped, industrial scale facilities within a short-drive of each other in BC. All to produce the fentanyl 🇨🇦 totally doesn’t have.

Tragically I’m not your fentanyl czar, but here’s what I’d notice if I were. 😉

<thread>🧵👇 Image
Image
2/ this is a fun photo. Nothing brown is used to synth fentanyl. Precursors are clear or white.

But aniline, an essential manufacturing chem, is light brown & darkens as it oxidizes.

Only problem is aniline isn’t used in fentanyl production. wtf, eh? Image
3/ However, aniline is used to make fentanyl precursors. RCMP said 2 of 3 labs in the fentanyl bust were manufacturing fentanyl.

What was the 3rd? I’m not a fishing license expert like 🇨🇦’s newly appointed fentanyl czar, but it sure looks like a precursor lab.
