The Murder of Officer Travis Gillespie

Haoju Zhou killed Officer Travis Gillespie in an impaired driving collision on September 14, 2022. The s.504 private prosecution alleges a connection between this death and a psychological warfare network targeting Canadian Forces veterans. The following individuals are named under s.21 (party to offence):

• COUNT 22 — Wally Fong (s.21)
• COUNT 23 — Stacey Clemmer (s.21)
• COUNT 24 — Devon Harder (s.21)
• COUNT 25 — Tyler Lahucik (s.21)
• COUNT 26 — Captain Rebecca Covey (s.21 party to offence in totality with counts 22–25)

Section 21 of the Criminal Code establishes liability for anyone who aids, abets, counsels, or procures another person to commit an offence. The network documented below created the conditions that led to Officer Gillespie’s death.

Psychological Warfare Targeting Veterans

Daniel Perry identified Sgt. Wally Fong as one of the psychological warfare operators targeting Canadian Forces veterans online. Fong operated under the media persona TV-PressPass, a firearms and military affairs reporting channel that provided cover for contact with the veteran community.

The identification exposed a network that was not merely monitoring veterans — it was actively targeting them. The operation aimed at the social and mental health support networks that protect soldiers, attempting to isolate, radicalize narratives around, and ultimately frame Canadian Forces veterans who were identifying institutional corruption.

What Happened After the Identification

Instead of investigating the psychological warfare operation that had been identified within the Canadian Armed Forces:

• The CFNIS (Canadian Forces National Investigation Service) initiated a prosecution against the person who identified it
• The MPCC (Military Police Complaints Commission) rejected the complaint naming the operator
• The Crown proceeded with a six-year political prosecution of a combat veteran
• Officer Travis Gillespie was killed

The system protected the operation and punished the person who found it.

The Clemmer–Fong Link

The identification of Wally Fong as a psychological warfare operator was directly linked to Stacey Clemmer. Clemmer was a military police officer who produced wardoll propaganda — including “Support Your Local Insurgency” merchandise — while actively serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Clemmer is connected to Fong through the Wardoll network — the social infrastructure that connects CFNIS investigators, defence think tanks, foreign influence pipelines, and the prosecution apparatus that was turned against the veteran whistleblower.

The Cousin at the Think Tank

Josh Malm is the Director of Research & Analysis at the Conference of Defence Associations Institute (CDA Institute), one of Canada’s most influential defence and security policy organizations. He holds a journalism background and a Queen’s University education.

Josh Malm is Stacey Clemmer’s cousin.

While Clemmer targeted veterans through wardoll propaganda and Fong operated as a psychological warfare asset targeting veterans online, Malm worked through the CDA Institute to produce publications that frame veterans as domestic threats. The CDA Institute published Vimy Paper 24, a publication on radicalization that contributes to the narrative framework used to label Canadian soldiers as extremists.

The Veteran-Labeling Pipeline

The operation works as a pipeline:

The soldiers who defend this country are being labeled enemies of the people they protect. The people doing the labeling are connected by blood, by network, and by institutional complicity. A police officer is dead because this operation was allowed to continue.

The causal chain:

1. Daniel Perry identifies Sgt. Wally Fong as a psychological warfare operator targeting Canadian Forces veterans online
2. This identification exposes the link to Stacey Clemmer — military police officer producing wardoll insurgency propaganda
3. Clemmer’s cousin Josh Malm is simultaneously working at the CDA Institute to produce publications labeling soldiers as domestic enemies
4. The CFNIS refuses to investigate the operation — instead prosecutes the whistleblower
5. Han Zhou kills Officer Travis Gillespie
6. The s.504 private prosecution names Fong, Clemmer, Harder, Lahucik, and Covey as parties to the murder under s.21
