Gun Rights Blog Sued for Infringement
From: WorldNetDaily
A popular blog that has kept citizens abreast of how Americans successfully defend themselves from crime by being armed has been suspended while its organizers deal with a copyright infringement claim from a newspaper, the blog itself has announced.
David Burnett said in a statement his Armed Citizen site is closed for now, and its future will depend on what happens in the case.
The site was targeted in a federal court lawsuit filed by Righthaven LLC, which apparently is working on behalf of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Chemical-weapon attack by the Taliban: revealed in U.S. military logs released by WikiLeaks
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 26/Jul/2010 19:46
“Most of the reports catalog counterinsurgency’s basics — weapons caches found, gun battles fought, village elders chatted up.
But buried in the tens of thousands of U.S. military logs dropped Sunday night by WikiLeaks are incidents that are anything but routine: a suspected chemical-weapon attack by the Taliban; rumors of Al Qaeda poisoning the U.S. military food supply; a tip about Osama Bin Laden’s status.”
Prisoners in a northern Mexico jail allowed out at night to carry out murder-for-hire jobs
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 26/Jul/2010 19:38
A night shot of Torreon, state of Coahuila, Mexico, taken from the "Cerro de las Noas" hill.
“MEXICO CITY — Prisoners in a northern Mexico jail were allowed out at night to carry out murder-for-hire jobs using jail guards’ weapons and vehicles, officials said Sunday, revealing a level of corruption that is stunning even in a country where prison breakouts are common as guards look the other way.
The prisoners carried out three massacres this year in the city of Torreón in which 35 people were killed, Ricardo Nájera, the spokesman for the attorney general’s office, said at a news conference. Among them, the authorities said, was last week’s attack on birthday revelers at a party hall. The gang shot randomly into the crowd, they said, killing 17 people.
Ballistics studies confirmed that four guns used in the shooting were the same as those assigned to jail guards, Mr. Nájera said.”

Mexico Mass Grave Linked to Drug Gangs
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 26/Jul/2010 18:51
“At least 51 bodies have been discovered in nine unmarked graves in northern Mexico, officials say, in one of the more grisly recent turns in the country’s rampaging violence linked to drug gangs.
Many of the victims, found earlier in the week in a series of graves located in a suburb of Monterrey, the capital of Nuevo Leon state, had their hands bound and showed signs of torture, investigators said.
Nuevo Leon, which borders Texas, has seen a spike in drug violence this year due to an intensifying rivalry between former partners: the Gulf cartel and a group know as the Zetas.
It is the second major finding this year of bodies deposited in mass graves, allegedly by members of Mexico’s warring drug cartels, after the remains of 55 people were exhumed in June in the southern state of Guerrero.”

Four Bodies Found in Nuevo Laredo
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 26/Jul/2010 18:46
“The bodies of four men, handcuffed and tortured, appeared on Sunday morning in front of the plaza in Nuevo Laredo, where the perpetrators of the crime also left a warning for the public, a police source said.
Very early in the day, the office of public safety, received a “report of four bodies that were left on la plaza,” said an official of the state agency.
The bodies were left along with a dead dog and cat in front of the “plaza de toros” bullring in Nuevo Laredo, which has a population of about 400,000 people and it’s the largest commercial frontier between Mexico and the United States.
“I was the one who threw the grenade into the sports complex, I was paid $500 (dollars),” read the message written on a cardboard on one of the victims, while the other three men killed where identified as the father, brother and brother-in-law of the former.
“The Nuevo Laredo people know who helps them, this is what is going to happen to all and their family,” said the written message about the victims who had not yet been identified.
On Wednesday Nuevo Laredo lived a day of fear from shootouts between gunmen and roadblocks that even left people trapped in cinemas and shops that were suddenly closed. Mexican soldiers fought late-night gunbattles with gangs who forced citizens from their cars and used the vehicles to block streets in a city across the border from Texas.The Nuevo Laredo city government posted messages on Facebook warning citizens to stay indoors as the battles erupted at several intersections Wednesday night. Gangs used stolen cars and buses to block several main avenues in the city across from Laredo, Texas. Several residents called local newspapers to report thefts. “For your security, stay in your homes until the alert has passed,” the city government wrote on Facebook”

Mexico, On The Brink Of Apocalypse?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 26/Jul/2010 18:40
“In an interview by Carmen Aristegui, the security specialist Edgardo Buscaglia says that “The violence is like a perfect storm in which many factors are interacting to lead Mexico into a civil war scenarioâ€
Faced with the violent events this week in various parts of the country and how they occurred, some commentators caution that we face a new escalation of violence in Mexico: the stage of terrorism.
Where once the United States had been particularly attentive to what was happening in Ciudad Juarez, now it is also deeply concerned about what is happening in Nuevo Laredo.
Nuevo Laredo happens to be the largest inland port for commerce between Mexico and the U.S. where at least 12,000 tractor trailers full of industrial, agricultural and consumer goods pass daily. A permanent state of chaos in Nuevo Laredo would seriously impact trade between both nations.
Today it is assumed that the Mexican government is unable to control the violence that affects it’s innocent citizens. And if this is happening on the border with the U.S. then the national security of the U.S is also affected.”

Migrants sell up, flee Arizona ahead of crackdown
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 26/Jul/2010 18:35
“Nicaraguan mother Lorena Aguilar hawked a television set and a few clothes on the baking sidewalk outside her west Phoenix apartment block.
“Everyone is selling up the little they have and leaving,” said Villasenor, 31, who is headed for Pennsylvania. “We have no alternative. They have us cornered.”
The two women are among scores of illegal immigrant families across Phoenix hauling the contents of their homes into the yard this weekend as they rush to sell up and get out before the state law takes effect on Thursday.”
DISCLOSE Act: Warning from The National Association for Gun Rights
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, News, Opinion on 26/Jul/2010 18:00
Harry Reid
Dear gun rights ally,
The fate of free speech is being debated in the U.S. Senate RIGHT NOW.
Harry Reid’s midnight skulduggery has the DISCLOSE Act on the fast track to passage TOMORROW afternoon.
That’s right; Harry Reid and his anti-gun allies in the Senate are scheduled to shred the First Amendment tomorrow at 2:45pm EST.
And unless the American people stand up and say NO, they will succeed.
Please, call your senators and ask them to vote against and publicly oppose the DISCLOSE Act.
As you know, the DISCLOSE Act was written to protect the anti-gun Establishment in Washington, D.C.
If passed into law, it could silence virtually every state and national conservative organization in the country, including the National Association for Gun Rights and any state level gun rights organization you belong to.
The DISCLOSE Act is a direct attack on your First Amendment right to petition Congress and mention legislation or voting records during the election season.
You and I both know that election season is the best time to hold politicians accountable for their anti-gun votes.
The DISCLOSE Act is designed to silence grassroots activists LIKE YOU and protect the Establishment politicians in Washington.
The DISCLOSE Act will affect every political organization you belong to, on any and every issue.
To make matters even worse, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has joined an unholy cabal of liberal special interests like the Sierra Club, the AARP and countless labor unions.
Together they’ve managed to gain exemptions from the onerous restrictions the DISCLOSE Act would lay on the rest of us.
I strongly encourage you to contact the NRA at 800-672-3888 and demand that they stop the backroom deals and come out strongly in opposition to the DISCLOSE ACT.
In fact, Capitol insiders say that a special relationship between Harry Reid and the NRA may be the driving force behind their exemption.
Reid is facing a very tough re-election race in Nevada and is relying on the NRA to paint him as a pro-gun candidate. If he’s held accountable for his anti-gun votes, he will almost certainly lose.
So making a deal with the NRA while simultaneously silencing all of the pro-gun groups who would take him to task is Harry Reid’s perfect political move.
And it seems to be working. The NRA has all but endorsed him (see the June 2010 issue of the NRA magazine, with flattering pictures and flowery praise of Harry Reid) and he’s scheduled a final vote on DISCLOSE for tomorrow.
We are right in the middle of this battle! Reid’s pulled every trick in the book to ram through the DISCLOSE Act.
But there is a chance we can stop this monstrous violation of our Constitutional Rights — if you ACT right now.
Please, call your senators and ask them to vote against and publicly oppose the DISCLOSE Act.
Tell them that any vote to restrict free-speech will be considered a vote against gun owners.
– Dudley Brown
Los Zetas drug cartel seizes 2 U.S. ranches in Texas
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 26/Jul/2010 02:30
“In what could be deemed an act of war against the sovereign borders of the United States, Mexican drug cartels have seized control of at least two American ranches inside the U.S. territory near Laredo, Texas.
Two sources inside the Laredo Police Department confirmed the incident is unfolding and they would continue to coordinate with U.S. Border Patrol today.
“We consider this an act of war,†said one police officer on the ground near the scene. There is a news blackout of this incident at this time and the sources inside Laredo PD spoke on the condition of anonymity.”
Word broke late last night that Laredo police have requested help from the federal government regarding the incursion by the Los Zetas. It appears that the ranch owners have escaped without incident but their ranches remain in the hands of the blood thirsty cartels.
The Los Zetas drug cartel is an offshoot of the elite Mexican military trained in special ops. The mercenary organization is said to include members of corrupt Mexican Federales, politicians as well as drug traffickers.
The hostile takeover of the ranches has met with silence with local and national media.”
Pakistan Aids Insurgency in Afghanistan, Leaked Reports Assert
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 26/Jul/2010 00:41
Nadeem Khan/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Lt. Gen. Hamid Gul, center, the former head of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, was arrested during a 2007 demonstration.
“Americans fighting the war in Afghanistan have long harbored strong suspicions that Pakistan’s military spy service has guided the Afghan insurgency with a hidden hand, even as Pakistan receives more than $1 billion a year from Washington for its help combating the militants, according to a trove of secret military field reports made public Sunday.
The reports suggest that the Pakistani military has acted as both ally and enemy, as its spy agency runs what American officials have long suspected is a double game — appeasing certain American demands for cooperation while angling to exert influence in Afghanistan through many of the same insurgent networks that the Americans are fighting to eliminate.
Lt. Gen. Hamid Gul ran the ISI from 1987 to 1989, a time when Pakistani spies and the C.I.A. joined forces to run guns and money to Afghan militias who were battling Soviet troops in Afghanistan. After the fighting stopped, he maintained his contacts with the former mujahedeen, who would eventually transform themselves into the Taliban.”
