Dix - Before you vote, read the court document

[Its_Like_That]

[39] In September or October, Mr. Dix typed up his notes, backdated the typed memo to July 17, 1998 and endorsed it with an official stamp.

Why? Because Dix's boss the Premier of BC was about to be investigated for corruption while holding public office. Dix did the dirty work after receiving this fax and launched the cover-up. Dix now wants to hold the very office he lied for, and the unions want him there.

Fact: The story is out. A lot of people have been indiscreet

Fact: The Liberals know the story

Fact: A special criminal investigation has targeted you, Pilarinos, Ng and their gangster partners.

To save your reputation and your government:

(a) Kill the casino application IMMEDIATELY

(b) ‘Clean’ your home and all offices of any evidence IMMEDIATELY

(c) Careful how you use your telephone and faxes

(d) Destroy this piece of paper NOW – I risk my career to save your sorry *bleep*.

You owe me big time you jerk

The meeting

[303] This fax was sent to Mr. Clark’s constituency office in Vancouver and forwarded to Victoria. It was given to Mr. Dix who showed it to Mr. Clark. They decided to ask George Ford to look into the allegations contained in the fax. Mr. Ford was the Deputy Minister to the Premier. In this position, he was the head of the Civil Service and held the highest non-elected and non-political position in government. Although he had held this position only since December 21, 1998, he had held a similar position for Premier Harcourt and for Premier Pawley in Manitoba. Mr. Ford was a well-respected and experienced civil servant.

[304] Adrian Dix contacted Mr. Ford shortly after 8:00 a.m. on February 11, 1999. Mr. Ford was asked to meet Mr. Dix and Mr. Clark at his office. When they met Mr. Dix gave Mr. Ford the Karmelita fax. Mr. Clark told Mr. Ford that he knew Mr. Pilarinos and that Mr. Pilarinos had done a small renovation for him.

Dix launched the cover-up. Dix backdated the typed memo to July 17, 1998 and endorsed it with an official stamp.

Who sent the fax?

A Cabinet meeting was held on May 6, 1998, during which several casino applications from northern British Columbia were granted approval-in-principle. The next Cabinet meeting was at the end of July. Sometime in June, Mr. Farnworth met with Adrian Dix, who was Mr. Clark’s principal secretary, confidante and good friend. Mr. Farnworth told Mr. Dix that Mr. Clark was a friend of one of the proponents. Mr. Dix replied, “I hate friends of the Premier”.

I find this a rather telling statement. Dix's comment strongly indicates to me that there were several instances of non-arm's length transactions going on, not just the deck-gate affair.

If Pilarinos were the only "friend" of Glen Clark that Dix had to deal with, why would Dix make such a statement? How would he develop this hatred if he hadn't been manipulating behind the scenes a lot and it had become a big part of his job, creating lots of extra work and stress for him?

Thanks for posting this, Its_Like_That, this is quite a revealing look into what appears to be a very strange lifestyle for the wannabe Premier.

$6,000,000.00 paid as hush money to convicted criminals.
A lawyer lying under oath.
The Liberal government doing everything they can to hide information regarding the sale of BC rail.

I find this and many more things involved in that sale very telling.

I find the fact that the Liberals had all the BC Hydro contracts done in secrecy, very telling.

This list is so long they would cut me off.

Do we really want this government back in power.

[Rwede]

^ What does that have to do with Dix's forgery and the court documents in the 1990s?

[NAB]

Not surprising LOL.
....anyway, regardless of the cherry picking for purposes of a producing slanted post... the results are the more interesting read...

DIMITRIOS PILARINOS was charged with 9 counts in the proceedings (1 through 9, a number of them criminal code offences) and Glen Clark with 2 counts (10 and 11, one of them a criminal code offense).

DIMITRIOS PILARINOS was found guilty of 8 of the 9 counts directed his way.

The ruling on count 10 (against Glen Clark) was "...there is no evidence that Mr. Clark was a member of a conspiracy..."

On count 11, a criminal code offense, Mr. Clark was found not guilty.

Also, who sent it and the FULL contents of the fax are a bit more interesting than the edited version.....

[302] The next allegation in paragraph (d) relates to Mr. Clark’s conduct after he received what has been referred to as the “Karmelita fax”. This is the fax that Dimitri Vrahnos sent anonymously to Mr. Clark on February 9, 1999 and was first seen by Mr. Clark on February 10, 1999. The specifics of this fax are relevant to this allegation and the allegation in paragraph (e). The contents of the fax are set out below:



PREMIERE



THIS IS URGENT IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR *bleep*

Fact: You broke rules to help Pilarinos and Ng get a casino license

Fact: You consider Pilarinos friend and supporter

Fact: Pilarinos did free construction work for you

Rumor: You have a piece of the action in the casino

Fact: Pilarinos and Ng are not the only partners. They have “one more silent partner” with a long criminal record. You have been used to accommodate the entrance of gangsters in the casino business in B.C.

Fact: The story is out. A lot of people have been indiscreet

Fact: The Liberals know the story

Fact: A special criminal investigation has targeted you, Pilarinos, Ng and their gangster partners.

To save your reputation and your government:

(a) Kill the casino application IMMEDIATELY

(b) ‘Clean’ your home and all offices of any evidence IMMEDIATELY

(c) Careful how you use your telephone and faxes

(d) Destroy this piece of paper NOW – I risk my career to save your sorry *bleep*.

You owe me big time you jerk

Remember the name ‘Karmelita’

Edit to add: It's interesting that in copy/pasting the Count 11 description against Glen Clark and some of the law that is applicable, the OP failed to include the bottom line... That Glen Clark was found not guilty on that count, ...or any count for that matter. The whole thing looks to me like a rather elaborate (and one sided) set up job that ultimately failed.

[Rwede]

The whole thing looks to me like just one of many back-door deals that got caught. Why else would Dix be so *bleep* off at all of Glen Clark's "friends" for whom Dix had to pave the road?

[maple leaf]

Why? Because Dix's boss the Premier of BC was about to be investigated for corruption while holding public office. Dix did the dirty work after receiving this fax and launched the cover-up. Dix now wants to hold the very office he lied for, and the unions want him there.

Before you attempt to smear someone you should check your facts,and provide links to your information,instead of taking portions of text and use them out of context .

You claim that a fax was sent to the government with allegations surrounding a casino license application.Allegations that there was wrong doing.You then claim that Dix then prepared the memorandum to cover up,as you quoted above Dix prepared the memorandum In September or October, Mr. Dix typed up his notes, backdated the typed memo to July 17, 1998 and endorsed it with an official stamp.You failed to provide the date of the fax,which was not until,Feb 9th 1999.Dix must of had a crystal ball to know about the fax and take actions to cover up.

The “Karmelita letter”
While the location change request of Messrs. Ng and Pilarinos remained outstanding, another piece of correspondence in relation to the 545738 B.C. Ltd/North Burnaby Inn proposal was received by government. On February 9, 1999, an anonymous letter was faxed to
Mr. Clark’s constituency office in Vancouver in which a number of allegations were made, including that Mr. Clark had broken the rules to help Mr. Pilarinos and Mr. Ng get a casino license, that Mr. Pilarinos had done free construction work for Mr. Clark, that Mr. Clark had “a piece of the action” in the casino, that a person with a criminal record was involved in the casino proposal and that Mr. Clark had been used to accommodate the entrance of “gangsters” into the casino business in B.C., and that there was a special criminal investigation targeting Mr. Clark, Mr. Ng and Mr. Pilarinos. Among other things, the letter instructed the Premier to “kill the casino application IMMEDIATELY”. The letter ended with the cryptic statement “Remember the name `Karmelita’ “, and I will hereafter refer to it as the “Karmelita letter”. http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/public/clark/report.pdf PAGE 31


I would challenge anyone who is troubled by this whole ordeal to take a step back, stop listening to all the attack add's ,the twisted ,spun opinion with out links or sources or text taken out of context.And would take the time to read the full story in the Ministry of Justice report ,here,in context: http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/public/clark/report.pdf. Then make up your own minds .
And I do realize there will still be some people who will continue to spread misrepresentation of the facts,but at least you will know the story and can decide if what they are saying is fact or fiction.

[logicalview]

And I do realize there will still be some people who will continue to spread misrepresentation of the facts,but at least you will know the story and can decide if what they are saying is fact or fiction.

So why did Dix resign in disgrace if truly there was no malfeasance going on? Was it because he forged the document, or because he lied about forging the document? I am just curious.

[Gone_Fishin]

The whole thing looks to me like just one of many back-door deals that got caught. Why else would Dix be so *bleep* off at all of Glen Clark's "friends" for whom Dix had to pave the road?

Good point! There's a whole lotta stink in Dix's comment.

[Its_Like_That]

Dix was employed in the Office of the Premier that fostered an air of curruption.

It's pretty nasty that he's been promoted through the rank and file of the NDP to be their leader.

The court documents speak volumes of what he has in store for BC and its economy.
