We don't know for sure this convicted (pardoned) thief is responsible for the whole million that the government admits has been stolen from funds meant for welfare recipients.

We do know for sure that Carol Bunko-Ruys got over $200,000 for commiting therapy upon the Ross children.

We also know that Social Services moved a family to B.C. to get Kathy Ross out of the province, paid the mother untold sums in hush money and put out thousands to prevent CBC from finding Kathy in 2000 when The Scandal of the Century was being made.

We also know that foster parents Marilyn and Lyle Thompson were provided with almost unlimited funds to keep the Ross children on track while Bunko and Dueck were brainwashing them to testify in trials against innocent people. CBC couldn't find them, either and they were not to be found for the civil trial in 2003.

We really wish that the Thompsons would come forward now and let us know just how much money they were paid to do this dirty work and then disappear. We'd like to know who authorized those cheques.

Then there is Susan Pasieka who apprehended the adopted Vopni children, helped have the parents charged and placed the apprehended kids in foster care. What kind of deal does she have going to get special funding for foster parents and what kind of a deal does she have with parents who are willing to take FASD adolescent girls and then put them on the birth control pill and let them run wild on the streets?

Jan 20, 2005: Police Complaints Inquiry clears cop who killed Jeff Berg.

We have seen how for 35 years cops got away with a malicious prosecution in the David Milgaard case. The expensive inquiry going on in Saskatoon is designed to allow the cops who did this to get on the stand and "explain" why they did what they did.

We can expect to hear about lost files, deceased witnesses, retired cops, and straight-faced liars claiming they were just following procedures.

They get away with what they can get away with.

In the case of Jeff Berg, it would seem to be murder.

RCMP Corporal Gary Steinke is now chief Inspector in charge of Sherwood Park, the Edmonton district where he first set up Jason Dix for a wrongful murder conviction.

Dix sued and Judge Keith Ritter awarded damages and stated the Crown and Police ran a case cloaked in malice.

RCMP officer Al Haslett helped U.S. police run a successful malicious prosecution against Vancouver teenagers Atif Ray and Sebastian Burns built on similar tactics:luring the suspect(s) into a "criminal organization" promising money.

Wilfred Hathway is awaiting a preliminary hearing after Saskatoon cop, Sgt. Donald Yonkman, got together with RCMP sting operators to lure him into a lose-lose situation. Yonkman was not even on the force at the time of the original investigation which found NO evidence against Hathway, despite trying to trick his parents into turning against him.

So far, Malice is still paying off for these corrupt officials.

Yesterday, the day before the Court of Appeal announced it is sending the two acquitted white men back to trial and the one convicted white man back for a proper sentence, it was announced that the father of the girl these men raped has been charged with five counts of sexual assault from incidents which happened between 1986 and 1991. He's 37 now so do the math.

You may also remember that this same man was humiliated in the community when the prosecutor roared into the first trial and announced the DNA evidence found on the girl's panties did not match any of the accused but matched the girl's father. This was never tendered as evidence. We also know that the girl had been apprehended and placed in foster care immediately after the incident and that it was several days before her panties were seized and sent to the lab for testing.

Based on this sensational smearing of the man's reputation, Susan Pasieka, the Main Child Protection worker in the area apprehended his other children. The boys were given back; the girls were kept.

Susan Pasieka protects children the way cats protect birds. She apprehended the adopted Vopni children in 1991, and had charges laid against several family members. All charges have ended in acquittals but one which was acquitted on a Queen's Bench appeal. The Crown is now appealing that decision.

The main players in this would appear to be head neighbourhood prosecutor Gary Parker and Pasieka. They have placed so many publication bans around their activities it is difficult to report on them. Frank Quennell, the justice minister, came to their defence when Sarah Gibb did a story for the Star Phoenix, Where angels fear to tread. This piece is not thinly veiled but thoroughly altered to preserve the identities of all parties. Nonetheless, two government ministers felt it necessary to write to the StarPhoenix.

Even as the David Milgaard Inquiry is looking for what went wrong in an injustice of the past, a malicious and relentless prosecution, the government of Saskatchewan is continuing to sanction practices which will guarantee the injustices will just keep coming at us.

Monique Turenne is now in custody in Florida and cannot speak for herself. Please read her story carefully and do what you can to inform others about the facts of her case.

Canadians and Americans alike should be ashamed at the disrepute Loren Schinkel has brought to the justice system on both sides of the border. I reprint Monique's story in her own words

Chief J.J. Ewatski Winnipeg Police Service 151, Princess Street Winnipeg, MB R3B 1L1

Dear Sir:

I have read your letter addressed to Ms. Sheila Steele dated March 20, 2003 which was posted on the injusticebusters website.

It goes without saying that, as Chief and supervisor of the Winnipeg Police Service, you felt compelled to voice your opinion and your subordinates' innocence. You also questioned the fairness of posting any allegations of wrongdoing against Mr. Schinkel and Sergeant Thiessen in my case.

What is unfair in this case are the following:

a) That I had endured approximately 9 1/2 hours of intense interrogation, threats and ridicule at the hands of two experienced detectives who knowingly brought me in under false pretence, held me against my will, refused my rights to a lawyer (actually Schinkel laughed when he noted that my lawyer was in Florida and couldn't/wouldn't be there in time), and threatened to lock me up if I didn't immediately sign their statement.

b) That I wrote only one sentence on the hand-written statement, 'I don't believe any of this'. Schinkel and Thiessen were not impressed by my insistence and stubbornness to prove my innocence and time was running out. When I refused to sign the hand-written statement, I was once again threatened to be locked up until I did so, thereby missing my husband's funeral. Exhausted and at my wits end, I 'printed' my name instead. Again your officers were taken aback by my act of defiance. At one of the extradition hearings, a typed police statement was presented. Needless to say that this 'rewritten' version did not include my one sentence nor was the signature the same. Your two officers took it upon themselves to rewrite their version minus my one sentence and forge my signature. Unfortunately for them, their version of events can and will be proven fabricated.

c) That my father, Jean-Emile Paille, called the Winnipeg Police (Princess Street) at two different times during the early morning hours of February 15th wanting to know my whereabouts and when I would be returned. At 5:00 a.m., he presented himself at your office. Sergeant Thiessen greeted him and assured him that I would return home shortly. At no time did Sergeant Thiessen indicate to my father that I was locked in an interrogation room against my will. My father would have acted differently had Sergeant Thiessen given him any reason to suspect police wrongdoing. Sergeant Thiessen deliberately lied to my father in order to secure more time for my confession (I still hadn't signed their statement) and to avoid him contacting a lawyer. This on-going police practice of forceful confessions has resulted in many wrongful charges and convictions. Your two officers overstepped their legal boundaries by utilising the Reid Technique and deliberately lying to my father.

d) That Mr. Schinkel and Sergeant Thiessen took two (2) police statements from my abusive ex-husband, Henry Thorimbert. That these two statements, taken days apart, contradict each other. In January 2003, Mr. Thorimbert advised our son that he never gave, signed a second police statement. He denies having met the Winnipeg Police on February 14th. He indicated that same either doesn't exist or that the Winnipeg Police forged his signature. Mr. Thorimbert is either denying same as he realizes that he committed perjury (his 2nd statement can be proven false) OR the Winnipeg Police knowingly took a fabricated and false 2nd statement from an abusive ex-husband OR the Winnipeg Police forged his signature. In any case, the Winnipeg Police did not act in good faith and will be held accountable. Although these statements don't form part of the extradition request, these were to be used at trial. The authorities thought to use Mr. Thorimbert's statement in establishing motive of financial gain in case their 'affair' theory failed.

e) Mr. Schinkel swore in his affidavit that WO Pierre Raymond of National Defence requested the Winnipeg Police interrogate me. This was confirmed untrue by many sources, including Dan Lett of the Winnipeg Free Press. When further investigated, the Winnipeg Police changed their story. They admitted that quote, 'It must have been the military police who requested same' unquote. Again this was proven false. Note that the Winnipeg Police refused to answer any further questions in this matter. They had been caught in their lies. As the Florida authorities had no authority to question me without my US lawyer, the Winnipeg Police were asked to do so. The Winnipeg Police removed me from my parents' home under false pretence, thereby avoiding the Miranda legalities. In their creative approach, no one would suspect their wrongdoing and no lawyer would be contacted. This further confirms that Mr. Schinkel signed a perjured affidavit in his description of the events of February 14th 1996.

f) That Madame Justice Steel ordered my extradition based on Loren Schinkel's affidavit and the rewritten Winnipeg Police statement.


Schinkel and Thiessen have acted inappropriately throughout this case. Their actions and wrongdoings were brought up at the Extradition hearings. Unfortunately, I have no rights under the present Extradition Law and Madame Justice Steel would not examine our evidence or order disclosure/voir dire. I am fighting to change said Law and have the trial held in Winnipeg. A Winnipeg trial will certainly expose this injustice and the Winnipeg Police misconduct.


Winnipeg Police Service has since refused to answer any questions in my case. Although nothing further has been done since their wrongdoings of February 1996, their reason has always been, quote 'There an on-going investigation.' unquote. Nothing has been done on this case since their wrongdoings in February 1996.

Ralph Crompton was convicted of 1st degree murder in the death of my husband. His version of events was not only proven unbelievable, but IMPOSSIBLE. He has undertaken numerous appeals and failed. In 2001, he again appealed and finally introduced a new suspect. ('Diablo' was also brought forth in the Winnipeg Free Press exclusive article in 2000. One of Ralph Crompton's friends was also asked to find 'Diablo' days after Crompton's arrest.) This declaration, which inches towards the truth, was never investigated by the Florida authorities or the Winnipeg Police. Needless to say that a new suspect would only complicate matters and question the authenticity of my alleged Winnipeg Police statement and the negligent investigation by both police departments.

Although you were not Chief of Police in 1996, you have been aware of this case. When a citizen of Winnipeg lodges a complaint against a member of the police force, it is your duty to investigate same. My father wrote you a letter in September 2001 detailing some of the discrepancies and wrongful actions of Mr. Schinkel and Sergeant Thiessen. You didn't even bother to respond.

My case, along with other cases, is exposed on injusticebusters.com. This website serves to bring forth instances of injustices and wrongdoings by the authorities. Your officers have had many opportunities to answer for their actions, but have either refused or hidden between the curtains of justice in this extradition case. Their misconduct and lack of professionalism in manifesting evidence has contributed to dire consequences in my case. Remember they are not the victims of malicious prosecution or manufactured cases: they are the perpetrators.

Rest assured that this matter will not disappear. Police wrongdoings are of public concern. The Winnipeg Police Service will be required to answer for their actions. Yours truly,

Monique Turenne

I draw your attention to two inquiries: the David Milgaard inquiry began today. It was most restrained and the commission counsel promised a lot of material (quantity) and not much substance (quality).

For over a year, Mr. Justice Antonin Lamer has been heading a commission of inquiry into wrongful convictions in Nfld. The proceedings stopped because of health problems of the Commissioner. But before it adjourned, a few sparks flew.

Today it is reported that Jerome Kennedy, who was involved with the defence of the three wrongfully convicted men in Nfld. is being disciplined by the Law Society because the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court there complained about remarks Kennedy had made about judges.

The press has responded well, ridiculing this move, as they should. Nonethtless, it cannot help but have an impact. Kennedy complained that some judges were biased. We all know this is true.

We hope that all biases of all judges involved in the Milgaard case will be exposed during the inquiry.

. . .there is no mention of malice.

Joyce and David Milgaard wanted this inquiry to identify those who withheld exculpatory information which could have sprung David much sooner, and to discover exactly how the Saskatchewan Justice system covered up its "errors" for so long.

It doesn't look like those are the questions which are being asked at this inquiry.

Instead we have a ballroom with chandeliers, expensive equipment, well-dressed lawyers, and white table cloths -- with some three rows of plain chairs at the back of the hall for the public to watch educated people treated like school children in a grade four setting.

During the middle of the week, Judge McCallum (he's the little dot in front of the black curtain) says he would considering subpoenaeing David Milgaard himself to come and tell them once again he is innocent.

Many lawyers are being paid for this thing.

James Lockyer is going to come. The justice system will breathe a sigh of relief to have got him off the streets where he does what he does best: help exonerate the wrongly convicted.

Joyce Milgaard's book, A Mother's Story has already investigated most of this.

I have taken these comments and re-posted them because I think it is important for people to read what Mr. Hunter has to say. (I'm still working on getting the sidebar to show more information than post dates so contributions are easier to locate). James Hunter has a blog which is located here. I have also placed a link to Star Chamber Proceedings in the sidebar.

Saskatoon Crown Prosecutor Terry Hinz said after reading the Klassen sex abuse file he received from Cpl. Brian Dueck. "I was completely floored when I read the documents". "It made me feel I was transported back into the 17th century reading about the Salem witchcraft complaints."


Author Paul Johnson, in his book, A History of the American People, Phoenix Giant, said on page 82 “The ostensible facts of the Salem case are not in dispute. Early in 1692, two children in the household of the vicar of Salem, Samuel Parris - his daughter Betty, aged nine, and his niece Abigail, eleven - began to be taken with hysterical fits, screaming and rolling on the floor. Their behaviour affected some of their friends. Neither girl could write and they may not have been able to read. They were fond of listening to the tales of Tituba, a black female slave who formed part of the household. When the girls’ behaviour attracted attention, they were medically examined and closely questioned by their credulous father and local busybodies. The girls finally named Tituba as the source of their trouble and she, under pressure to confess witchcraft, admitted she was a servant of Satan, and spoke of cats, rats, and a book of witchcraft, “signed by nine in Salem.” Two names of local women were screamed out by the girls, and this set off the hunt.”

In Saskatoon, children, some with health problems aged nine and eight were looked after in a special foster home run by the Thomson’s. Their foster home was not special because anyone in the Thomson home had any expertise in dealing with children with special health problems. It was special because they had expertise in dealing with children processed by the Devil. The children were encouraged and rewarded by the Thomson’s and the interrogators of the children who were anxious to hear about devilish activity to confirm their preconceptions , the children intuited their needs and supplied it.

In Salem a special court was set up. Its proceedings were despicable. the court was finding innocent people guilty to justify its existence. Innocent people who pleaded guilty were released, those who pleaded not guilty or refused to plead were hanged or pressed to death. It was an open court as one would expect in the land of the free. The rule of law broke down.

In Saskatchewan there was no special court set up. The courts excluded the public and media and accepted the evidence of children who any parent hearing what they were saying would have told them, “if you keep talking like that I will wash your mouth out with soap.” Innocent people were being charged and sent to jail. The rule of law broke down.

Salem is not just famous for the hysteria that left people unable to think for themselves in the summer of 1692, it is also a story of the American peoples resolve for justice and truth. The lead witch hunter believed if the trials were pursued the work of the Devil would be exposed and this would benefit mankind. Author Paul Johnson, in his book, A History of the American People, said on page 85. “The Salem trials, then, can be seen as an example of the propensity of the American people to be convulsed by spasms of self-righteous rage against enemies, real or imaginary, of their society and way of living.” “We have here a phenomenon by no means confined to the 17th century. Perhaps the best insight into the emotional mechanism which got the Salem trials going can be provided by examining some of the many cases of child-abuse hysteria, and cases in which children were alleged to have been abused by Satanist rings, occurring in both the United States and Britain in the 1980s and 1990s. The way in which children can be encouraged, by prosecuting authorities, to “remember” imaginary events is common to both types of case. The Salem of the 1690s is not so far from us as we would like to think.”

What lead up to the Salem and Saskatoon hysterias is strikingly similar. The similarity ends there. A community leader returned to Salem from England in 1692 and he said that it was the hunting of witches that was the work of the Devil and it was the Devil that led foolish men to do the work of the Devil by hanging innocent people. The court in Salem was abolished. The General Court of Massachusetts passed a motion deploring the action of the judges. Jury members signed a statement of regret. Indemnities were paid to family members of the victims hanged. Some of those who made false statements later confessed. It was over in Salem in about a years time. This is outstanding, in 1692 the people confessed to unlawful activity, paid compensation and searched for the truth. The rule of law was restored. This was the result of leadership, Christian values and a society that valued good old common sense in doing what was proper, it was the right thing to do.

In Saskatchewan the people did not know what happened, when the authorities came to their senses the people responsible in government and the courts did just the opposite to what happened in Salem. A good number of people in authority were not capable of coming to their senses, they live in their world of hysterical delusions year round, to this day they believe that they saved the people of Saskatchewan from clever cultists who were baby killers, drinking blood and eating eyeballs and worked with "brood mares" -- women who breed children specifically to sacrifice them.

For over ten years the government of Saskatchewan and the courts engaged in the cover-up. The media and reporters who published information about the cases were charged and off to the court with them. People discovered that two eight year old girls making the accusations were in fact being sexually and physically abused and it was not being done by the people who were charged. They picketed to let the people know that the girls were being raped with the full knowledge of the court and officers of the court. They were charged and off to jail with some of them. In a way there was a special court set up in Saskatoon. It did not deal with the sex abuse cases, it was set up to deal with the cover-up of the child-abuse hysteria, the brake down of the rule of law and the worst case of child abuse at the hands of government officials and courts in Saskatchewan history.

The appeal of the Baynton Judgement is nothing short of a government protecting itself, the court and the people responsible. As we have seen with Mr Dueck, no one is going to be held accountable. Brad Wall, the Leader of the Official Opposition, said in his Christmas interview that the scandal of the century in Saskatchewan has to do with potatoes. There is a lack of a credible Official Opposition in Saskatchewan. The people have no voice in Regina. If the NDP party feels a need to protect the people of Saskatchewan from the Devil and Satanist rings the good Reverend Lorne Calvert and his coalition church at work gang need to stop using government agencies and the court, resign and build a church in Riversdale.

Richard Klassen is being encouraged to run in the next civic election in Saskatoon for the mayor’s chair. Open a bank account in Riversdale for donations to his campaign fund, I encourage Mr Klassen to run in the next provincial election in Riversdale. The people of Saskatchewan and Riversdale need a voice in the Legislative Assembly. The campaign platform could be an independent inquiry into the administration of justice in Saskatchewan. He could say to anyone that ask him why if he decided to run: “The Devil made me do it”.

There is talk of disbanding the Saskatoon City Police Service. The Canadian Airborne Regiment was disbanded after Canadian soldiers tortured a Somali teenager caught stealing from the Canadian base in Somalia. The Regiment was in the control of a small band of solders who did not display the Canadian Flag, they proudly displayed a battle flag that is a symbol for the likes of the KKK. This lack of authority and leadership at the command level left members of the Canadian military demoralized knowing that their so called leaders were incapable of supporting them and that their leaders lacked the very skills and knowledge that the members of the Canadian forces at the platoon and commando levels had themselves been trained to deal with. Who would have thought that “Eat your weakest man” was not a new recruit, but the leadership.

The talk of disbanding the police service is nothing more then another Saskatoon media fuelled hysteria. At the height of the latest media hysteria the mayor was interviewed and he did something not seen for some time in Saskatoon, he showed leadership qualities, he stood up for Saskatoon City Police Officers. I would hope he continues. He needs to find out why a large percent of Saskatoon Police Officers do not support the chief of police and insure that the hearings in May for the two officers fired as a result of the Stonechild Inquiry are conducted fairly, with due process, and does not end up being another incongruous charade to sell newspapers.

The family of Neil Stonechild is asking for compensation. This family should not be subjected to the same treatment by the city legal department protecting Superintendent Dueck that the Klassen’s, John Lucas and his wife and others were subjected to. They should not have to endure the fear strategy of the Attorney Generals office or the Star Chamber Proceedings of the Kings and Queens in the Court of Queen’s Bench that kept a crown prosecutor named Terry Hinz from speaking the truth for ten years. Mr Hinz was silent for the same reason a lawyer who was asked to help me said, “I do not want Justice Dovell after me“.

Saskatoon needs to start supporting Saskatoon Police Officers and the mayor and police commission need to know that they will be supported in their attempts to clean up this police force. The Stonechild inquiry has raised more questions then answered, it is clear on one thing, the Saskatoon Police Service failed in its duty to the Stonechild family. The Stonechild family is asking for a written apology and compensation. Show some leadership and give it to them, we have witnessed the value of Chief Sabo’s verbal insincere and worthless public apology to Richard Klassen and the irresponsibility of the city legal department with the tax payers money. It is time to start doing what is right, not just for the Stonechild family who have suffered enough, do it in the memory of a 16 year old kid left to freeze to death in a city claiming to have Christian beliefs and values.

The betrayal of Saskatoon citizens by Chief Sabo just before Christmas was a present for the Old Boy's network, the downtown partnership and all the forces who want to keep Saskatoon's west side demoralized.

Frank Quennell's announcement that he would intervene to overturn Judge Baynton's decision indicates the provincial government wants to keep corruption going and it is prepared to set itself against honest judges to do so.

Also, just before Christmas, we heard Ralph Goodale promise to divide ten milllion dollars between Regina and Saskatoon for a project to be announced in more detail later.

My first thought upon hearing this was that five million dollars would build one heck of a residential/work/rehab complex for the hundreds of west side citizens who need some help to get out of our desperate situations. I invite all bloggers to set your imaginations to this and come up with some ideas.

And as Calvert and the local media are promoting the Centennial year, I have been taken by the idea of a previous blogger who suggested we fly Saskatchewan flags upside down. This is something we could rally around and this blog is wide open for suggestions and sharing of information (like where can we get cheap flags? how much would it cost to print some on paper to place in our windows if we don't have a flag pole in our yard?)

Sabo let Dueck walk away but he fired Senger and Hartwig. With those two actions, he means to pacify First Nations people so they won't rally against the police. As people who have been following events in Saskatoon are aware, the same police service is responsible for two important injustices in 1991: the death of Neil Stonechild and the false arrests of 19 people for sexually assaulting children. In 2003, two Queen's Bench judges found the police acted with malice. When Sabo fired Hartwig and Senger, injusticebusters took part in a rally supporting this action. Meanwhile Sabo had assured Richard Klassen that Superintendent Dueck would be called to account for his action in maliciously prosecuting the Klassen/Kvello families.

Justice has not been served. We have been teased and tormented with the possibility of justice but until the government and police officials who break the law and thumb their noses at us are brought to account (that is fired, charged, tried and jailed if found guilty) we have to expose them and call them to account.

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to the blog.
