Concussions Bring Together NFL and Military Personnel
From Military.com:
Current players such as Arizona star receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Cleveland All-Pro tackle Joe Thomas met June 8 at the Pentagon with former players and coaches, league medical personnel and representatives from the Army and Marine Corps. The NFL expects to have military members attend team training camps beginning in late July to further exchange ideas.
Players will attend military bases in the future to discuss concussions, as well.
Idaho Invites Firearm Industry
From Washington Times:
The move by PNW Arms was like a signal flare to business and political leaders in the town of 800 people, who were in the process of trying to determine what industry would be best to pursue.
Potlatch, they decided, would go from timber town to gun town. It would try to lure firearms and ammunition makers, and plans also called for hunting-themed housing and retail development.
‘Dark Angel’ and the Mexican Meth Connection
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 14/Jun/2012 17:19
From STRATFOR:
By Ben West
In a U.S. operation dubbed “Dark Angel,” local and federal law enforcement officers on May 30 arrested 20 individuals involved in methamphetamine trafficking across five states. Authorities confirmed that the leader of the trafficking network, Armando Mendoza-Haro, has links to Mexico, where the methamphetamine was likely produced. The group appears to have used legitimate companies to transport methamphetamine from California to the Denver area and elsewhere in the Western and Midwestern United States. The group then sent the profits back to California, where the cash was wired to banks in China and the Cayman Islands.
Mexico’s methamphetamine trade seems to be booming these days. Earlier in 2012, the Mexican military made the largest single seizure of methamphetamine ever (15 tons, worth around $1 billion) outside Guadalajara. As the United States increased its restrictions on the pharmaceutical chemicals used to produce methamphetamine, Mexican producers stepped in to meet the growing demand. Details from Operation Dark Angel provide insight into how traffickers in the United States are getting their product to market and, more interestingly, how they are laundering their profits.

Stuxnet Virus Linked To Flame Virus and U.S.

From Wired’s Threat Level:
Researchers at Russia-based Kaspersky Lab discovered that a part of the module that allows Flame to spread via USB sticks using the autorun function on a Windows machine contains the same code that was used in a version of Stuxnet that was unleashed on computers in Iran in 2009, reportedly in a joint operation between the United States and Israel. The module, which was known as Resource 207 in Stuxnet, was removed from subsequent versions of Stuxnet, but it served as a platform for what would later develop into the full-fledged Flame malware that is known today.
B1s To Get New Upgrades

Washington Times Editor Wins Journalism Award
Over the past few months Emily Miller at the Washington Times has been investigating how hard it is to get a gun permit in Washington, D.C. Even after the landmark Heller case, it has been one piece of red tape after another. She has made clear that is is easier to break the law and get a gun, than it is to follow the law and get a gun.
From Guns.com:
Emily Miller, Senior Editor for Opinion for The Washington Times, won the Clark Mollenhoff Award for Investigative Journalism because of her “Emily Gets Her Gun” report.
PMAGs OKed For Army
From Military.com:
The Pentagon has clarified the Army’s stance on a recent safety message that effectively banned a certain high-performance, commercial M4 magazine, which means soldiers can keep using their PMAGs.
Louisiana Proposes Pro-Gun Change To State Constitution
From Guns.com:
Sen. Neil Riser received backing from the NRA as he pushed the bill through the House, earning a 77-22 vote. A supporter of the bill, Rep. Jay Morris, said, “The right to bear arms is something that’s fundamental. We just need to make sure it stays that way.”
Illinois College Holding Utah Concealed Carry Classes
From Guns.com:
That might sound odd, but it actually makes quite a bit of sense. Utah concealed carry permits are recognized in 31 states, so a permit carrier can cross most state lines without too much concern for variable state gun laws. It’s a bit ironic considering that Illinois is the only state that doesn’t permit concealed carry, but where there’s a will there’s a way. Illinois citizens can still prepare for trips abroad into concealed carry-friendly states.
