Did China Ripoff C-17 Design?
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 5/Jan/2013 08:04
From Danger Room:
The images, acquired by the GeoEye 1 and IKONOS spacecraft — both belonging to commercial satellite operator GeoEye headquartered in Washington, D.C. — corroborate the general layout of the Xian Aircraft Corporation Y-20, the existence of which has been confirmed by Beijing. They also underscore the emerging consensus among Western experts that the Y-20, while outwardly impressive, could lack the performance of even much older American, Russian and European transports.
Joshua Boston, USMC to Sen. Feinstein
This letter was posted on CNN’s website:
Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own. Nor do I think it prudent to tell you what I own so that it may be taken from me by a group of people who enjoy armed protection yet decry me having the same a crime. You ma’am have overstepped a line that is not your domain. I am a Marine Corps Veteran of 8 years, and I will not have some woman who proclaims the evil of an inanimate object, yet carries one, tell me I may not have one.
I am not your subject. I am the man who keeps you free. I am not your servant. I am the person whom you serve. I am not your peasant. I am the flesh and blood of America.
I am the man who fought for my country. I am the man who learned. I am an American. You will not tell me that I must register my semi-automatic AR-15 because of the actions of some evil man.
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joshua Boston

Uncle Ted to Joe Biden
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 2/Jan/2013 15:24
Ted Nugent has written a letter to Joe Biden which appears on the Washington Times website.
I don’t encourage you to recommend a ban on any weapon, magazine capacity or type of ammunition. That won’t accomplish anything other than prevent the 99.9 percent of responsible, law-abiding Americans from enjoying these modern weapons as we do now. We should never recommend or develop public policy that restricts the rights of the good guys based upon what evil people do or might do. If that were the case, alcohol still would be banned. As you may know, drunk drivers kill an estimated 12,000 Americans each year and hurt tens of thousands more.
Background Checks Set Monthly Record
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 2/Jan/2013 15:12
From Reuters:
The FBI said it recorded 2.8 million background checks during the month, surpassing the mark set in November of 2 million checks. The number was up 49 percent over December 2011, when the FBI performed a then-record 1.9 million checks.
Diane Feinstein: Totalitarian Hypocrite
Posted by Brian in Law, News, Threat Watch on 1/Jan/2013 14:56
If she could she would ban all firearms in spite of the second amendment:
Now is trying to do that with the banning of all weapons with detachable magazines and magazines that hold more than ten rounds:
Here is the example of her hypocrisy. She wants to be able to protect herself but would deny law abiding citizens that ability.
The people that voted this woman into office should be ashamed of themselves. She doesn’t care about the Constitution and any quip about hunting is just lip service for those that support the second amendment. For those NRA members that think it is ok to ban so called “assault weapons”, I would ask you to seriously reconsider your position. Try to envision a United States where these weapons are banned and forbidden to be in anyone’s possession. No one wants to imagine a despot or dictator taking over, but that is sure to happen when the people are unable to defend themselves. It may not happen immediately, it may happen 50 years after, but sooner or later some power hungry person will take advantage of a disarmed populace. What Mrs. Feinstein is attempting to do is lay the foundation of this future United States. On Thursday Jan. 3 she will introduce her legislation.
Of all people Ice T gets it:
The Benghazi Report and the Diplomatic Security Funding Cycle
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 28/Dec/2012 08:18
“The Benghazi Report and the Diplomatic Security Funding Cycle is republished with permission of Stratfor.”
By Scott Stewart
Vice President of Analysis
On Dec. 18, the U.S. State Department’s Accountability Review Board released an unclassified version of its investigation into the Sept. 12 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack, so the report was widely anticipated by the public and by government officials alike.
Four senior State Department officials have been reassigned to other duties since the report’s release. Among them were the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security; two of his deputy assistant secretaries, including the director of the Diplomatic Security Service, the department’s most senior special agent; and the deputy assistant secretary responsible for Libya in the State Department’s Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs.
The highly critical report and the subsequent personnel reassignments are not simply a low watermark for the State Department; rather, the events following the attack signify another phase in the diplomatic security funding cycle. The new phase will bring about a financial windfall for the State Department security budgets, but increased funding alone will not prevent future attacks from occurring. After all, plenty of attacks have occurred following similar State Department budgetary allocations in the past. Other important factors therefore must be addressed. Read the rest of this entry »

D.C. Police Investigating NBC News’s Gregory
From Rueters:
Gregory held up what appeared to be a 30-round gun magazine – which would be barred under Washington municipal code – while hosting the nationally broadcast interview with National Rifle Association Chief Executive Officer Wayne LaPierre.
Magazine Sales Explode at Brownells
From Guns.com:
To shed some more light on the magazine situation at present, it really has been unprecedented in the last 5 days. During a roughly the 72 hour period from Sunday afternoon to Monday evening we sold the ‘average demand’ equivalent of about 3.5 years worth of PMAGS, and and an even greater amount of our Brownells magazines. We’re working like crazy to get these orders to you as quickly as possible.

In Pakistan, Mixed Results From a Peshawar Attack
Posted by Brian in News, Threat Watch on 24/Dec/2012 08:21
“In Pakistan, Mixed Results From a Peshawar Attack is republished with permission of Stratfor.”
By Ben West
The Pakistani Taliban continue to undermine Pakistan’s government and military establishment, and in doing so, they continue to raise questions over the security of the country’s nuclear arsenal. On Dec. 15, 10 militants armed with suicide vests and grenades attacked Peshawar Air Force Base, the site of a third major operation by the Pakistani Taliban since May 2011. Tactically, the attack was relatively unsuccessful — all the militants were killed, and the perimeter of the air base was not breached — but the Pakistani Taliban nonetheless achieved their objective.
The attack began the night of Dec. 15 with a volley of three to five mortar shells. As the shells were fired, militants detonated a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device near the perimeter wall of the air base. Reports indicate that all five militants inside the vehicle were killed. The other five militants engaged security forces in a nearby residential area and eventually were driven back before they could enter the air base. The next day, security forces acting on a report of suspicious activity confronted the militants, who all died in the resultant shootout. Read the rest of this entry »
