MAD TRAPPER OF RAT RIVER - North West Territories | Strangely Canadian
On 31 December 1931, an RCMP constable investigating a complaint about traplines was shot and seriously wounded by a trapper living west of Fort McPherson, NT. The ensuing manhunt - one of the largest in Canadian history - lasted 48 days and covered 240 km in temperatures averaging -40°C. Before it was over, a second policeman was badly wounded and another killed. The killer, tentatively but never positively identified as Albert Johnson, was so skilled at survival that the police had to employ bush pilot Wilfrid “Wop” May to track him. The Trapper’s extraordinary flight from the police across sub-Arctic terrain in the dead of winter captured the attention of the nation and earned him the title “The Mad Trapper of Rat River.” No motive for Johnson’s crimes has ever been established, and his identity remains a mystery.

    I don't know where you're getting your history from. Probably from the same people who give us our history. But I have another story. The Vikings did not come from Norway. The Vikings came from behind New Zealand. They actually called it Greenland because they were shocked, to see Greenland. I called them The Flintstones with red hair. Very mean. And they feed off fear and add blood. After mingling with the inhabitants, their seed spread. I see clusters in Ireland, first learned the word, became hypnotized by the phonics. We were originally telepathic white beings. We can manifest into creatures add Dark Shadows. It depends on our consciousness of thought. We manifest from our own thinking. If you're watching Hollywood and suddenly think you are Batman and Robin, soon you will look like a cartoon. People are becoming disconnected from themselves. Beware of the Reds! They have no feelings. You will see them either being work slaves working like dogs and going by the book, or creating chaos.
