So after waiting a loooong time for something to happen,
waiting until hell freezes over for true justice to happen in canada,
and knowing that cops, judges, lawyers,
even media people and politicians
are all part of the same thieving pirate gang of rich pro-americanization fuckwads selling american style war to kids and ripping off Canadian artists and writers,
I gave up waiting.
Maybe the latest Officer Friendly, PC Michael Lemon from the Commercial Drive Community Police Office will actually do some investigating. Nah. He’s gone through my whole blog and he can’t see ANYTHING criminal there. He’ll gladly phish for my personal information though. Maybe ask him why?
I wonder if he recently had an expensive vacation.
Everybody else I talk to seems to get one.
Or perhaps my local MLA will actually look at what’s happening in her “community”.
Right. Sure. Maybe she’ll get a vacation too. Like that judge did…
Legal aid won’t help me with a lawyer to take on Stargate/Pegaus Productions. The fee up front is $25K for a lawyer to even start looking at what happened to me. Police and judges have been paid. No one is going to actually do any investigating of what I’ve said, and no one will be made to pay for what they’ve done to me. There is no justice in Canada unless you can afford to put a couple hundred thousand bucks in a paper bag for the judges pocket. That’s the truth of it here. The only justice you get in Canada is the Justice you make for yourself, the police are just glorified security guards.
Our country has become so corrupt
Crime/bribery/insider scams/paper bag deals/theft/fraud by politicians and “lawmakers/law enforcement” is institutionalized. Every police force in Canada has employees with gang connections. If you have money, you win in court, if you don’t have money, you can’t access justice, and you wouldn’t get it anyway, since in Canadian Courts the one with the most money wins. Regardless of what is “Just”.
No one even bothers to vote because they know its a rigged system, not a level playing field.
The gangs are running Canada now with money from the US.
Look at how long it’s taking to investigate the BC rail scandal. In the end only one or two people will get a slap, while dozens of gov’t employees laugh and wheel away bags of money.
Anyway.
I live outside in a shopping cart, surviving on $280/Mo for me and my dog.
while the man who ripped me off and his buddies live like kings.
So here’s the goods, for the occasional good soul who believes enough in Mr. Taylor and his dog Koala to read this far and actually think about what I’m saying.
The following people are all members of the crew of Stargate Atlantis.
These are the people that I know for a fact are fully aware of the truth of my claims against Robert Cooper that he consulted with me on the SGA pilot because he had no ideas and he needed to get something together about “atlantis” within the SG1 framework.
Our conversation on the patio of Turks was witnessed by Andy Mikita and 2 other people I know very well.
The conversation lasted about 40 minutes and is recorded on Robert’s Marantz cassette deck.
Robert agreed to pay me 15-20% for what he used of my ideas, we shook hands, at least 6 of the ideas were used as the core of the pilot series.
And I think to myself, of the hundreds, maybe a couple of thousand employees of Pegasus Productions and Stargate Atlantis, and of IATSE who worked for them,
that if every one of them that made more than $100,000 over the last 8 years
put $2K or more into a pot
I’d have enough to live for a few years and even get my own projects up and running.
Greedy fucks. Yes you fucking dicks who work at the Bridge.
Think about it.
Some of you made over a million.
The following crew/cast are 100% aware that I was the originator of these ideas that became the pilot, they are also all aware that I have not been paid and they all know that there was an actual agreement between Robert Cooper and I.
This makes all of these people ACCOMPLICES
in GRAND LARCENY, FRAUD, and ATTEMPTED MURDER.
This is GANG ACTIVITY.
A group of people against one.
The following people are the ones I would SUBPOENA if I could AFFORD a lawyer in a country where the MINORITY PM has axed almost all access to legal representation for the lower classes.
If I could I’d also appeal to the court to make them all take lie detection. Oh, right, they have to swear on the BIBLE. OOOOH.
I guess we can guarantee they’ll tell the truth with that eh?
It’s one of the major crimes of our system, we base our court system on this BS fairy tale about biblical honesty, where if we make someone “swear” on some “holy book” we can all rest assured that the truth is served.
So let’s start of course, with Robert Cooper who made a business agreement with me to have a creative consultation on the topic of Atlantis and other concepts relating to a sci-fi conceptualization of Atlantis. He was contracted by Syfy/MGM to write a series based on the SG franchise with Atlantis as a core plot feature in early 2003 and he was stumped for ideas with a deadline looming. He met up with me on the patio at turks and waited patiently for a half hour for me to finish talking with a couple friends. Andy Mikita was sitting right there on the patio at Turks with us and was witness to the agreement, the handshake, the tape recording and the creative consultation.
About my claim about consulting with Robert Cooper on SGA:
When something is created, the idea has to come from somewhere.
It’s never the money people at the top who come up with the good ideas,
its always someone who is paid a lot less who actually comes up with the idea that is reworked by the other various writers and artists(more lower paid schmucks).
Robert Cooper isn’t a writer.
He’s a rich producer with a recorder who can rip off other people for ideas, hand the tape over to some other poor schmuck to expand upon it, and he takes the credit and gets all the money, which he then scatters a few coins to his buddies and a few of the the real people who did the work.
That’s how big american media works, and they’re trying to convince everyone that that is just the way it is.
Its for this very same reason that all the best filmmakers in the last 50 years started by making their own films outside of the ripoff L.A. system, which SGA is run from.
The only reason the stargate franchise is made up here (in Vancouver) is because they can pay people shit, the government gives them money (which they hardly give to REAL canadian productions) and they don’t have to pay canadian crews the same residuals they pay to american crews, the RCMP have no ability to stop repeats of the Cinar scam, so they just keep doing it.
I am a writer, as I have proven over and over here.
I also am specifically a screenwriter, and I have scripts I recently digitized to post as proof for you to see.
I also study spirituality and mythology, which is where the the “atlantis” meme resides in our history, and I have been a hard science fiction fan for about 30 years.
Robert didn’t come up with the ideas for the series, other people did,
I came up with 7 main ideas that became the core of the SGA pilot series.
Robert Cooper owns 10 houses in my neighborhood.
He’s aware of the coffee shop where I hung out, because half a dozen other IATSE people hang there.
He did actually come to see me at Turk’s on Commercial, made a deal with me, recorded the ideas in the consulting meeting, and then he took that and gave it to his writing team to flesh out.
I’m not delusional or crazy, I’m a creative writer and thinker who was consulted on a series plot development by a rich producer backed by american money and I haven’t been paid my fee. These things happen, yes, but I do deserve to be paid my fee regardless of how many other stories of ripoffs like mine there are. And he’s got his GANG of thieves backing him up and cutting me down to make people think I am lying.
Obviously I assume the other “writers” and producers (Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie, N. John Smith, Brad Wright, Carl Binder, Martin Gero, Martin Wood, John G. Lenic, Alan McCullough) are aware of the scam, but I’m focusing here on people that I know with 100% certainty are fully filled in on Robert using my ideas without paying the agreed-upon fee. The ripoff of me, of course, I’m not even getting into the fact that they didn’t actually write the “Canadian” show, the scripts were sent up from the states by Syfy after being “vetted” (ie: OUTLINED) by the DOD. Same scam as Cinar used, and just like Cinar, they’ll get away with the “canadian content that’s not Canadian” tax scam while the RCMP shake their heads and throw up their hands.
Next let’s add Amanda Tapping and Richard Dean Anderson from the cast who were fully aware of my role as a consultant, and I strongly believe that Torri was fully aware of the scam as well.
Funny eh? The “Honorable” Ms. Carter and her “righteous” boyfriend Jack O’Neil, after saving the world from the evil gods of the brown people, screaming “No one get’s left behind” and then laughing with evil glee as they drive their rich fancy cars past the poverty stricken writer who never got paid a dime for acting as a creative consultant for their show. Spewing vile crap on the small screen about “honor”, “justice”, “equality”, “loyalty”, while they shit on the little people and laugh. These are the greatest of hypocrites, these two, and I hope someone pelts them with something evil and rotting while they dine in a fancy restaurant or walk a red carpet, so they can stink to match the blackness of their souls. If they have souls. That’s debatable. I doubt either of them do, even though I believe every human has roughly the same type of spirit power. But that gets into philosophy with fuzzy epistemological bounds. Too fuzzy for these grunts I think.
Next let’s add Post Production :
Michael Eliot, Super Asshole American Exploitationist Prick, Mike actually is directly involved in the ripoff deal and is the man who takes Canadian Tech and Crew credits and gives them to american buddies who never set foot on the set, so all possible residuals go to amerikans instead of the Canucks who actually did the work. Mike isn’t very bright, years of massive cocaine and alchohol abuse having boosted his ego beyond acceptable limits, he now collects massive paychecks for sitting in a chair sleeping or spewing crap about socialism being evil communism in disguise while he brags about his collection of expensive cuban cigars and spits after mentioning Castro’s name. I submit that he probably would jerk off to pictures of Bush, if he wasn’t a racist homophobe. He’s an exploitationist American bigot, and if I was to cuddle my most conspiratorial beliefs, I’d call him a CIA handler. But that would really be too much I guess. Hmm. On the other hand, try finding a picture of Mr. Eliot. In a world of web page marketing for production pros, Mike and his assistant Jennifer don’t have any online pictures. Maybe because they’re guaranteed a job from Mother. Nah, he’s just a right wing redneck american who thinks the colonization of Canada is inevitable for the great and holy Uncle Sam.
Jennifer L. Johnson, Team Player dick with occasional nice days. Does the actual work that Mike gets credited with while sleeping. Won’t rock the boat. The kind of climber that’ll go to a hockey game even if she doesn’t like hockey, if that’s what the team is doing. She get’s things done, and done right, but she’s still more of a follower than a leader. She might think it’s sad that the poor Canuck writer is getting ripped off, but as long as she can pay for her new Cadillac she really wouldn’t care what happens to him. American and completely convinced the red white and blue is going to one day own all of Canada. Somewhere inside I think there’s a socialist trying to get out, but the $100k+/year or so she makes up here working on the project I started is more important than equality. Not a homophobe, but she won’t stick up for someone getting beat down by her gang. Have a talk with her sometime if you’re in East Van, she lives near Trout lake and hangs out at Fet’s patio on Commercial when there’s a Canuck’s game
Kerry McDowall, Nice lady, beautiful, has a good heart. Being Mike’s daughter its hard to understand how she ended up being nice. She thinks people should get paid for what they do, but hey she’s gotta keep her job eh? She knows all the scores after all these years, but she’s low on the totem pole for opinions about it.
Rick Martin, Really nice guy. I like Rick, but he’s close buds from waaaay back with Mike and lived through those same years of massive film industry coke use before settling down to be a married pirate. He makes more than 10K /month so he isn’t going to rock the boat for a lefty writer. I had a number of conversations with Rick about script theft and the theft of ideas, trying to suss out what he thought. He feels bad about it, but as he says “No one has ever won a script theft lawsuit against a big american media company in the entire history of Canada”, there just isn’t any legal protection here for creatives. If you’re in Kitsilano, look him up. Or email him at his webpage.
and VFX:
Shannon Gurney, Nice, but Team Player will follow along with the scam. I like Shannon, but she really doesn’t care about people getting paid for what they do. As long as she can do her job stress free and get her own paycheck, why would she rock the boat? Seen her BF cruising the drive this week, which I never see, maybe he’s got a get even streak going on. Would he like it if the bank foreclosed their house, or if someone stole from him? Probably not. Made a good 8-10K/mo working on the project I started, and knew the score from day one when I got hired to rub my face in it. Not a bad person, but will stick with what the gang decides to do. I really do mean GANG. You might find her at Trout Lake sometime with her dog, she lives pretty close to there.
James Rorick, Nice guy when he’s not being a bitchy ex-gangster or homophobe, but Team Player and will follow along with the scam. It’s money, why should he care? As long as he has his house. Who cares about some “fag” who had his ideas stolen. If he doesn’t have the money to sue, why worry eh? Saw him on the drive shortly after writing this, so maybe he’s the one who’s been nominated to shut me up with a beating. I wonder how James would feel if he didn’t get any of HIS residuals, or didn’t get paid for 7 years. I wonder if he would actually kill Robert, if he was in my position? I think he probably would. Violently.
Mark Savela, The VFX supervisor who knew the story of the scam and profited by the low wage I was paid as a tech. No reason to stick up for me or give me a raise for a tech job well done, since the savings on my wage paid for a nice car. Car vs. doing the right thing and making sure that everyone gets paid for what they actually do. The car wins. Mark tries to be a nice guy, but he’ll stick with the gang and keep his money. I deserved a raise, Mark, for doing an excellent job, even though I knew you were all mocking me. I also deserve to get paid for my creative work on the pilot and you know it. You might find Mark around Clark Park off of Commercial Drive on Woodland. Give him a shout, or shout at him.
Christopher Stewart, FX TD who actively sought me out to hire me at a shit wage as a PA/IO Tech and rub the scam into the wound after Robert ripped me off. Kept insisting that I get my right address on file, even though I picked up my checks. Shortly thereafter I had assholes target me at my house. In on the whole thing from the start, I wonder why he thought it was ok for me to get ripped off. Maybe someone should stiff him on a contract sometime, see what he thinks. Has a Thunder Bay connection, which comes into play as the instigating factor of the whole shitstorm, when you know Eric the Red. He hangs around Main and 11th when hes not in Mission or some such place. Send him a comment at his “Stone Soup” site: Flay
I’m pretty sure that the token indians (Rachel Luttrell, Jason Momoa, David Hewlett) didn’t know, but maybe they did. But, like their characters they are always subservient to their American military white male allies, they represent the “primitives” of the third worlds, who must be “helped” out of their “backwards” ways by their “peaceful” white colonial military benefactors.
oops, running out of library time
but stay tuned, I’m going to explain each one some more over the next while!
In the meantime, maybe you, gentle reader, can give them a call in Vancouver, send them an email, post on the SGA fansite and ask them why they are being such dicks…They mostly all live here in vancouver where I live, and most actually live right in east vancouver…
So look them upand ask them why they think it’s ok for me to not get paid for what I did, while they all laugh and drink their faces off in Hawaii once a year and bounce their new kids on their knees while sitting in their new houses.
While Koala and I live in a park and scrounge food from alleys with our shopping cart.
Koala is 8 years old, she really shouldn’t be outside so much.
Someone will pay for the hard life she’s had, in the end, if I have any hand in it.
