Mexico Drug Cartels use Gory Videos to Spread Fear
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 6/Aug/2010 02:00
http://www.borderlandbeat.com/2010/08/mexico-drug-cartels-use-gory-videos-to.html
“Powerful drug cartels are increasingly using gruesome videos of executions and interrogations to intimidate their rivals, police and an already terrified public in Mexico’s vicious drug war.
In one video, a man with a black eye is tethered to a chair in his underwear and appears to be strangled to death with a tourniquet by his captors. There is a “Z” scrawled across his chest, for Zetas, a spinoff of the Gulf Cartel.
In another video, a man is slowly beheaded with a knife.”
Seems somehow familiar…where have we seen this tactic before…?
Saddam Hussein’s right-hand man, Tariq Aziz: US is “leaving Iraq to the wolves”

Saddam Hussein's right-hand man, Tariq Aziz
“Saddam Hussein’s right-hand man, Tariq Aziz, has accused Barack Obama of ‘leaving Iraq to the wolves’ by pulling out combat troops from the country.
Iraq’s former deputy prime minister said the United States would destroy the country if it pressed on with the policy of withdrawing combat forces to concentrate on the war in Afghanistan.
The late dictator’s henchman said that he had been initially encouraged when Mr Obama was elected president, because he thought he was going to correct some of former president George Bush’s ‘mistakes’.

WikiLeaks and the Afghan War

“This report is republished with permission of STRATFOR”
July 27, 2010 | 0856 GMT
By George Friedman
On Sunday, The New York Times and two other newspapers published summaries and excerpts of tens of thousands of documents leaked to a website known as WikiLeaks. The documents comprise a vast array of material concerning the war in Afghanistan. They range from tactical reports from small unit operations to broader strategic analyses of politico-military relations between the United States and Pakistan. It appears to be an extraordinary collection.
Tactical intelligence on firefights is intermingled with reports on confrontations between senior U.S. and Pakistani officials in which lists of Pakistani operatives in Afghanistan are handed over to the Pakistanis. Reports on the use of surface-to-air missiles by militants in Afghanistan are intermingled with reports on the activities of former Pakistani intelligence chief Lt. Gen. Hamid Gul, who reportedly continues to liaise with the Afghan Taliban in an informal capacity. Read the rest of this entry »
Mexico’s Juarez Cartel Gets Desperate
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 5/Aug/2010 16:29
“This report is republished with permission of STRATFOR”
By Scott Stewart
On Aug. 3, the U.S. Consulate in Juarez, Mexico, reopened after being closed for four days. On July 29, the consulate had announced in a warden message that it would be closed July 30 and would remain closed until a review of the consulate’s security posture could be completed.
The closure appears to be linked to a message found on July 15, signed by La Linea, the enforcement arm of the Juarez cartel. This message was discovered at the scene shortly after a small improvised explosive device (IED) in a car was used in a well-coordinated ambush against federal police agents in Juarez, killing two agents. In the message, La Linea claimed credit for the attack and demanded that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and FBI investigate and remove the head of Chihuahua State Police Intelligence (CIPOL), who the message said is working with the Sinaloa Federation and its leader, Joaquin “El Chapo†Guzman Loera. The message threatened that if the intelligence official was not removed by July 30, La Linea would deploy a car bomb with 100 kilograms of high explosives in Juarez.
The deadline has now passed without incident and the consulate has reopened. Examining this chain of events provides some valuable insights into the security of U.S. diplomatic facilities as well as the current state of events in Juarez, a city that in recent years has experienced levels of violence normally associated with an active war zone.

Veteran cuts down an illegally displayed Mexican flag
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Warriors on 4/Aug/2010 03:30
A veteran, Jim Brossard, was so offended by the unlawful display of the American flag beneath the Mexican flag in Reno that he cut it down and made a statement. The ACLU is weighing in on behalf of the flag owner.
The flag owner said he was showing his support for the “Hispanic Community”

Ilegal Immigration: Americans Fed Up With Government’s Failure
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Opinion on 4/Aug/2010 03:11
by Rory Cripps
“According to various estimates, there are currently 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. Most of those illegal immigrants are from Mexico and Central America.
What is painfully clear to the American people is that both the Bush and Obama administrations, and those before them, have in effect refused to enforce the U.S. immigration statutes unless one believes that an enforcement rate of 2 percent is something to write home about.

The Knoxx recoil reduction stock
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Accessories, Long Guns on 3/Aug/2010 19:47
“The Knoxx stock uses fairly massive internal springs to absorb and spread out the recoil pulse of the heavy hitting shotgun. The kick is still there, but instead of a painful jab it’s reduced to a long ‘shove’.
This technology shines in two areas; Letting recoil sensitive people shoot the thumper without fear, and aiding in shear controllability of the shotgun.
It’s hard to argue that heavy recoil reduces ones ability to control a weapon, and mitigating the recoil helps the shooter stay on target. This is the point behind every rifle muzzle brake and ported competition pistol.
The Knoxx recoil reduction stock is indeed a gadget, but unlike so many… this one actually works.
On top of that, it has passed the ‘Carteach0 Gorilla of Doom Destruction Testing’. In plainer words, I attempted to break the stock in some very unreasonable ways. By simply pulling it apart with my bear hands (pun intended), and even beating it against a range bench (shotgun won, bench lost).”
http://carteach0.blogspot.com/2010/06/holy-shrinking-shotguns-batman-range.html
“I can shoot power point slugs all day long without injuring my shoulder..
before i put this stock on, I literally couldn’t get through 10 rounds before wanting to switch to bird shot..
I’m NOT kidding it makes that much of a difference…this is a MUST for ANY shotgun..”
“This product is amazing. I’m a small woman who can now shoot full 3″ Magnum Slugger loads with one hand!!! AMAZING! There is almost no felt recoil what so ever and target reacquisition is incredibly fast.
I’d highly recommend this product to everyone.”
