Macleans: The Nova Scotia shooter case has hallmarks of an undercover operation

Radioactive 63 Comments

What?

The withdrawal of $475,000 in cash by the man who killed 22 Nova Scotians in April matches the method the RCMP uses to send money to confidential informants and agents, sources say.

 

Gabriel Wortman, who is responsible for the largest mass killing in Canadian history, withdrew the money from a Brink’s depot in Dartmouth, N.S., on March 30, stashing a carryall filled with hundred-dollar bills in the trunk of his car.[…]
 

A Mountie familiar with the techniques used by the force in undercover operations, but not with the details of the investigation into the shooting, says Wortman could not have collected his own money from Brink’s as a private citizen.
 
“There’s no way a civilian can just make an arrangement like that,” he said in an interview.
 
He added that Wortman’s transaction is consistent with the Mountie’s experience in how the RCMP pays its assets. “I’ve worked a number of CI cases over the years and that’s how things go. All the payments are made in cash. To me that transaction alone proves he has a secret relationship with the force.”
 
A second Mountie, who does not know the first one but who has also been involved in CI operations, also believes that Wortman’s ability to withdraw a large sum of money from Brink’s is an indication that Wortman had a link with the police. “That’s tradecraft,” the Mountie said, explaining that by going through CIBC Intria, the RCMP could avoid typical banking scrutiny, as there are no holds placed on the money.
 
“That’s what we do when we need flash money for a buy. We don’t keep stashes of money around the office. When we suddenly need a large sum of money to make a buy or something, that’s the route we take. I think [with the Brink’s transaction] you’ve proved with that single fact that he had a relationship with the police. He was either a CI or an agent.”

    3. Would the first PM ever found GUILTY by an Ethics Commission, use the deaths of Canadians to further a globalist agenda? An ethical PM wouldn’t, but that’s the problem now isn’t it.

      Starting to smell like a False Flag.

  2. “the RCMP could avoid typical banking scrutiny, as there are no holds placed on the money.”

    Brown paper bags are so yesterday. What more do we need to understand that Canaduh’s National Police Service = Organized Crime.

    1. A wonderful leak from a whistle blower inside the RCMP to push back at the Libs anti-cop rhetoric. Stay tuned for more leaks. I should note, gun confiscation of legal gun owners has never been about crime or simply getting rid of Canada’s gun culture. It has always been about disarming the police. #SNC-Lavalin

  4. one has to wonder were the money went, and once that s determined we may be better informed as to why?

    1. Informed as to why?
      Surely banking scrutiny is for everyone, RCMP included. Why should the RCMP or any other government service not operate under the same laws, the same scrutiny and accountability as all of the rest of us?

      1. Because “the same scrutiny and accountability as all of the rest of us” is not enough. If we accept them having power over us it will be abused unless they fear power we have over them. As voters and taxpayers we don’t do enough scrutinizing to make them fearful of getting caught abusing their power or neglecting their duty. (We are neglecting our duty. Democracy is not an easy way to get good government. It’s probably the hardest way, because people are inherently lazy and government is a chore, so very few of us do our part diligently.)

      1. Serious question. If Alberta (or any other province) was so concerned about gun rights could they not use the notwithstanding clause?
        It seems to me that was put into the charter to protect citizens from governments that admire basic dictatorships.

  8. Obviously if Maclean knows, and we’re being told about it, he wasn’t a very good operative.

    Just saying….

    1. With the Corrupt Canadian Media, there is always an ulterior motive.
      Macleans is probably just waiting for Mackay to get nominated before releasing his love letters to Wortman.

  9. Jesus… this government will go down if this is true. Oic to ban thousands of guns based on this? Holy f, I can only hope this is true to take the turd down.
    Those poor people who lost family. Mother of god, what I would be feeling/doing right now is not printable.

    1. No it won’t. We’ve been putting up with this incremental BS since Pierre was PM, and the majority of Canadians keep voting for it. If an election were held tomorrow Zoolander would win, again.

  10. Makes the report of two Mounties shooting up a building during the rampage all the more intriguing.

    1. Yeah, who gave them the green light to do so? I don’t want to read too much into it but when state owned media release a bombshell like this they do not do so by an accident or by a spontaneous act of defiance. They surely would sit on it without an official authorization to leak it. Hence someone in the politbiuro must have pushed it out. We just may be witnessing a beginning of a palace coup or a purge.

        1. In any case they’ll have lots of interesting communications to monitor tonight.

  12. Unless someone is in dire financial straits you can’t just pay them a half million to go on a suicide mission. If this was a special op, even one gone off the rail, there would have been mental prep and likely drugs. And certainly a plan and promise of safe extraction, even though that was never intended. If it wasn’t a special op was the money just supposed to flow back to the Libranos?

  13. This stank from day 1. Everything from the way RCMP behaved to Americans getting warned but Canadians didn’t.

  14. My own worthless guess is that Nova Scotia RCMP spilled this, angry that Wortman was an agent of NB RCMP.

    1. There was a rumor / single source report that got around locally… A couple of weeks ago? Saying that the RCMP were desperate to keep something about this case covered up, because it would sink them in Nova Scotia for certain, and do immense damage to them nationwide, if it came out.

      This would fit the bill.

  16. One can only second guess what has actually transpired, and second guesses are like Monday morning quarterbacks. The real problem is that Canadians have been led down the garden path for so long by the Liberals and the media that the overpowering stench of organic fertilizer is now considered a scent from a bouquet of flowers. Only a reader of Le Carre, Cussler, and the like could imagine a State operation being run to enable the State to implement a gun confiscation. Yeah you’d have to believe that could only happen in a spy thriller, why it would be like burning your own government buildings and blaming it on some kind of nut job, wouldn’t it!!!!! s/.

  17. CBC must have been in on it too. Their coverage of the tragedy was no investigation and lots of emotion swelling.

  18. The amount of opacity related to this crime makes me think Canada has a very big problem. And one of it’s biggest problems is the apparent lack of outrage at the lack of transparency or outrage from the Canadian main stream.

    1. The Canadian Media, is to put it nicely, in the tank big time.
      It is obvious.
      As obvious as the fact that Canadians don’t care.
      Also obvious due to absolutely nothing, nada, zero being done about it.
      Ever.
      Born to be serfs.

    2. geo…its not just THIS Crime.

      It’s numerous events – HIJABI Girl – Classic False Flag to support M-103
      Same goes for the Quebec Mosque Shooting – False Flag for M-103
      And after these events seeing RCMP Officers relegated to handling Baggage for Sub Saharan LOW LIFE illegally crossing our border….??

      The RCMP is defacto no different than a gang of Mob Enforcers – organized Crime syndicate if you will – ALL to and only to ensure LIBERAL- TRUDEAU (Butts), orders-policies are followed.

      In this disgusting disaster, I suspect Gerald Butts is/was first and foremost involved in this along with the other two acts above. A NAZI fanatic of the first order – put in place by Globalists (NAZI’s), the Rockefellers.

      1. Do you think the RCMP get a cut of every Federal dollar spent like The Original Mafia does in Quebec?

        And do you think, like in Quebec, that everybody but us knows?
        The Government, the federal, provincial and municipal politicians, the Courts, the police, the Media, the lawyers, the engineers, the contractors………
        For decades….
        Everybody but you.

        Charbonneau Commission.
        Sidewinder.
        Adscam.
        SNC-Lavalin.
        Libranos.
        The real Canada.

  19. If the goal was to provide a pretext for taking away people’s guns, surely they could have accomplished this with a lot less drama. Canadians are pretty compliant. At least half of them favour taking guns away based on US gun crime. Still, a puzzler.

    1. Yeah, but after this shitshow the support is over 80% to confiscate. A couple of dozen dead innocent civilians are just some grease for the skids.

    2. Linda…No one seemed to question the Hijabi girl incident….or seriously question the Quebec Mosque shootings..??

      Both far FAR too flippin convenient for the Liberals and their M-103 Motion.
      Do not ever underestimate G. Butts … the slimy NAZI mastermind in the Liberal machine.

      1. The Liberal machine is nothing but capital CLASS!

        C-charbonneau
        L- libranos
        A- adscam
        S-sidewinder
        S- snc-lavalin

  20. Yup.
    Smelt of crooked politics right off.
    The reports of criminal possession,wife beating going uninvestigated and the “police” car complete with genuine uniform.?
    Then that Order in Council was not written after this murderous rampage.
    How low can we expect our Progressive Comrades to go?
    I am not sure we can imagine,for each time it turns out we lack the depravity of the soul necessary to guess.
    Evil and stupid are a thing.
    Repeatedly found in those who must rule over us all,for our betterment of course.

  21. Sorry to see that so many of you up north are quick to assume it was your own government.

    In this day and age, any transnational company or organization can do the same, channeling funds through multiple banks using front companies in multiple countries such that it is no longer easily traceable.

    Go look up a chart of all the “foundations” and funded operations being sustained by the likes of George Soros or Tom Steyer or the Koch brothers (most are legal too).

    There are photos and videos of “organizers” handing out cash to agitators in every city where there has been a “riot” and “looting” in the U.S., cash from the backpack to the hand. I see the same pattern with your shooter, so don’t malign the RCMP without hard proof. Just like our FBI, there is a strata in management that is likely co-opted, but most are not and are likely horrified at the thought this could be a possibility. Hope you folks get to the bottom of it all, seeing that it is likely the party of Trudeau is thoroughly co-opted and corrupt.

    1. Thank you for spinning up the gyroscope to stabilize this thread a bit…I saw your comment a moment after my reply above which was totally bought into the FF grab the guns argument. Maybe his cartel friends sent him the cash…and told him to go incriminate the RCMP to prove his loyalty.

    2. terrapod, good point!
      I know this — as most here so — but am sometimes prone to forgetting it.

  22. So where is the body? We had never seen the body.
    So who are dead then? Has NS RCMP taken out a sleeper cell of… BLM? ISIS? CCP? Mossad? FSB? Mandalorians?
    And what does my M14 have to do with that? By the way, it is not for sale, and no, RCMP is not getting it.

    Also, being intimately familiar with AML/TF, I know that there is a trace of that transaction in the system.

  23. I’m surprised at people seeming to jump to the conclusion that if the RCMP were running Wortman and they gave him $475k cash just before he went on his spree, they were paying him to commit mass murder because the federal government wanted an excuse to impose an OIC to ban an obviously hastily prepared list of guns. Try this instead: the RCMP were running him as an agent and gave him that money for something, e.g. a drug buy, and they didn’t really know him well enough. He hates the RCMP more than they know, hates his life as it is, and has been waiting for this opportunity to make a big score and bug out. He has just lost it on his girlfriend and she got away, so he’s afraid this is all going to go wrong, he’s probably blown it , but it’s now or never, f*ck it, not going quietly, not going to be taken alive, etc.

      1. Citronella, If you are suggesting I just said, “Nothing to see here” you missed most of what I said.

    2. TheTooner,

      Add to that the fact that they never bothered to fabricate a PAL for the guy to hold so that they can easily blame licensed gun owners, which probably could have taken 10 minutes I suspect. And the fact that the Liberals were telegraphing a ban for a couple years before hand.

      The OIC was the hamfisted remedy.

  24. What is Maclean’s angle on this?
    Is this the minimum that they will report to protect Blackie?
    Or conversely is this a shot across Trudeau’s bow to inform him that it’s time for another pile of cash?

    Every second of the pimped Canadian media’s coverage of anything is colored by those types of questions.
    You have to question the media’s motivation for every word that they write or speak because of their monetary relationship with the government.

    1. Trudeau has already announced that there is “Systemic Racism” in all of Canada’s federal institutions. He can use that excuse to do whatever the hell he wants with them. Certainly will get no push back from the media.

  25. Well, sorry to say but we have seen far too may “events” that have fully supported one plank or another from this Liberal pack of SCUM. Nothing surprises me anymore about LIBERAL CRIMINALITY or the lengths they will go to ensure things go as they planned.

    It’s not like this kind of shit hasn’t happened elsewhere, with a budding dictator and a complicit media now has it…??

    Liberals: Owned by the ChiComms & run by the Muslim Brotherhood…yea, pristine alright.

  26. The guy that wrote this Paul Palango is not a Macleans hack. He has reported on the rcmp for decades and wrote a very good book, Dispersing the Fog. He is loved and loathed by ‘the outfit’.

    I don’t know where he got this information but even if it is bullshit it doesn’t take away from the gross incompetence and totally botched investigation of the crime spree. The rcmp look like fools here. Every last one in command in NS should immediately be removed.

  27. Wow! A bunch of extremely serious queries accusations and speculation! I would love to say it’s all hogwash, but I know better! A whole bunch of comments stood out for me, but, a biggie is, Citronella, ” We haven’t seen the body”! Or how about, where is the cash? Also, on the day in question, did anyone notice the large dark blue armored, gun turret mounted, push bar packaged specially built truck sitting among the other police cars? It arrived the same day, the Sunday! Where would that have been located to be able to arrive so quickly? Do the feds have a bunch of these stashed across the country?

    As to the OIC/gun issue, I’m not thinking it’s really connected, but the poorly organized and rushed out May first announcement, was definitely done to use the rampage and the tragedy to maximum affect. They are still adding more and more guns to that list, and not even making public announcements. Those of us that are passionate about the gun issue, will probably be aware of most guns on the list, but it could turn a whole bunch of people into instant criminals waiting to be caught, vilified, chastised, fined, or jailed, to instill even more fear about anyone owning firearms! Yes Turdo is dumb, Butts however, is truly evil, and has delusions of grandeur! B.Liar is evil as well, but a tool, a means to an end. I believe there is a reason they are NOT directing the gun control issue at actual criminals, they in reality, are not the target, we are! They need the criminals to keep the public fearful, thus easier to manipulate and control! JMHO.

    1. In reply to your question about these vehicles being ‘stashed’ across the country, the answer is yes. I live in a small hamlet in BC and at the fall fair last year the local constabulary were displaying one of the first of their police cars next to their latest acquisitions among which was a, to all appearances, a small armoured car. The rail on the roof was distinguishable as a mount for an automatic weapon. As a Canadian I take exception to a police department boasting of this kind of equipment as part of their requirements and at the same time I fear the Liberal propensity of gun confiscation. These armoured vehicles have nothing to do with law enforcement and everything to do with intimidation of the taxpayers who are beginning to realize what game is afoot.

      1. Thanks Ant, I live in a small coastal town in BC, so I guess we’re both screwed! But yeah, I noticed that truck when the shootings first hit the headlines, but most people didn’t! Either that, or they didn’t realize the implications you just mentioned. I fully agree, they can’t control people that have an independent streak, and also own firearms. The old saying, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely”, also rings true as well! I truly hope this May first gun grab will finally awaken the snoring giant too.

        I’m thinking the Covid 19 pandemic has opened a lot of eyes as to the dangers of not having some form of personal defense close by, and to suspect the true intentions of our liberal progressive government.
        I believe part of that was to demonstrate to the UN that we are “Becoming a post nation state” and agree with the UN policies of citizenry disarmament, again for power and control on a global scale.

    2. According to Solzhenitsyn the criminal class was preferred by the Bolsheviks/Stalinists over truth telling citizens and treated more leniently. Is that where we are in Canada now?

      1. Yes, WWA, I have long thought of the reasoning behind directing gun control policies toward lawful citizenry as opposed to the criminal class. My theory developed in 1995 with Bill C68. There is a symbiotic relationship between the government and criminals. if we could magically live in a world without crime, drugs, gangs, and violence, we would only need about 25% of the government we actually have. When times are good, they promote beer and sports to keep us amused. However, when things get out of hand, Joe Citizen calls on the government to do something, make a new law, etc, so the government needs a criminal class (About 10% of the population) to maintain government control and increases in power. More government means more power, and more power means more control. If thing really go bad, and say, a civil war erupted, we firearms owners would be giving our spare guns, ammo, and training to, our neighbors to fight the government! So from their perspective, we, not criminals are the threat to government control. There is also a likelihood of our police and military being reluctant to fight against fellow citizens if there is a justified reason causing the unrest! For those that say citizens could not resist a government with only small arms, you only need to look at places like Afghanistan and Colombia in south America, they’ve been doing it for years. We couldn’t win in open warfare against a government, but even fleas can drive a dog insane! From the governments perspective, WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE THREAT, not the criminals!

  28. I seem to remember comments on the day it happened from people who thought it seemed like the RCMP were trying to protect the killer. Somebody needs to investigate who isn’t the RCMP or a member of the Liberal Party. I guess it isn’t happening.

    1. Wortman was masquerading as an RCMP officer. I think the RCMP were trying to protect the RCMP more than anything, both before and after they knew it wasn’t a real Mountie doing it.
