</strong><strong>Reviews from Customers</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Awesome&#8221; </strong><br />
The is the first bb gun i ever got in my life, and its awesome. when it came, i opened it and checked it out, it was good looking and sturdy, and it felt like good quality. It also shoots very excellent, it shoots very far and it is very accurate. i totally love this gun. the one and only problem that i have with this gun is that you cant cock it, although the box says u can, but i still love it<!--more--></p>
<p><strong> &#8220;great gun&#8221; </strong><br />
i don&#8217;t agree with last review. it is very good gun for this price. don&#8217;t forget there are lot airsoft players who do not have few hundred to spend. I am one of them. i really think you don&#8217;t even have one of this, this gun does have semi or full auto. full auto at very fast rate. so i would suggest to buy a &#8220;Hi-cap&#8221; clip. over all very nice gun.<br />
<strong><br />
&#8220;Great gun!!!!&#8221; </strong><br />
I&#8217;m 10 years old and this is my favorite gun to play air soft with! I ALWAYS win with this. Its a great guns for: Playng and Practicing. BUY IT!!!!!!</p>

</div>
</div>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Krenar Lusha also had 14 mobile phones and a video on his laptop called “mobile detonators” that showed how to turn a mobile phone into a bomb trigger.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">He had a video on his computer called “car bomb recognition guide,” that included diagrams showing how to blow up petrol with a shotgun cartridge.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">In his cellar police found 71.8 litres (15.8 gallons) of petrol, along with two kilogrammes (4.4 lbs) of potassium nitrate, one of the ingredients of gunpowder, in his bedroom, and a shotgun cartridge in his lounge, the court was told.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Lusha, 30, had described himself as a “terrorist” and a “sniper” in conversations on the internet, Preston Crown Court heard.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">He was asleep in bed when police raided his home in Derby on August 26 last year but a laptop was connected to the internet and material was visibly being downloaded.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Nigel Godsmark QC, prosecuting, said Lusha had downloaded a folder entitled “archive of Hezbollah military instruction manuals” which contained a number of videos in Arabic.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">The videos were said to be instructional films on how to make detonators, explosives, a missile and a suicide bomber belt.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">There were also instructions on placing landmines and how to strip an AK-47 automatic rifle.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;All of this freshly downloaded a few hours before the police arrived and went into the property,&#8221; Mr Godsmark said.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">A total of three computers were found in his home and police discovered gruesome footage on the hard drives of live beheadings by extreme Islamic groups.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">There were also a number of video clips by groups fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan and Chechnya that included exerts of US military vehicles and personnel being blown up and of US soldiers being shot.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Documents on his computers included the Car Bomb Recognition Guide, Middle Eastern Terrorist Bomb Design, Improvised Radio Detonation Techniques and The Mujahedeen Explosives Handbook.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Mr Godsmark said the defendant would spend a lot of his time talking to girls in foreign countries using MSN and other instant messaging systems.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;He would tell them about himself and his views &#8211; all of this conversation was being recorded on the computer which was retrieved,” Mr Godsmark said.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;During some of that conversation he described himself as a terrorist, that he was a sniper, that he loved to see Jews and Americans killed, and to watch his videos of the killings of US soldiers.</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">&#8220;In short he made his sympathies plain and they were with violent fundamentalist Islam.&#8221;</span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Lusha denies 10 counts of possessing articles which give rise to a reasonable suspicion that they were for a terror-related purpose.</span></p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Open opinion solicitation (that means give me some damn feedback).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thinking of doing some trade-ins on my boom-stick stockage.  Two very different guns have caught my eye in the past week.  As far as rifles go they are about as far apart as you can get.  A true battle of East vs. West if you may.  The two contenders for my money are currently:</p>
<p>Representing the law and order side of the West &#8211; The Daniel Defense M4 (.223/5.56)</p>
<p><a href="http://pissedofftreerat.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/daniel_defense_m4_carbine_a.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3022" title="Daniel_Defense_M4_Carbine_A" src="http://pissedofftreerat.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/daniel_defense_m4_carbine_a.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="154" /></a> Representing chaos and mayhem of the East - The Century Arms GP 1975 (7.62&#215;39)</p>
<p><a href="http://pissedofftreerat.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cari1496x_1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3023" title="CARI1496X_1" src="http://pissedofftreerat.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cari1496x_1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="148" /></a></p>
<p>As I said, it&#8217;s a conundrum.  Both have pluses and minuses.  Cost differential is about $200 in favor of the GP1975, but that&#8217;s within my cost margin so I consider that a wash.  I&#8217;m interested in any Freak input on these fine pieces of machinery.  No matter what the final decision is, I see my ammo expenditure costs skyrocketing in the near future&#8230;&#8230;</p>

<p>I was going to say Mikhail Kalashnikov would turn over in his grave if he witnessed what I saw today, but he is not dead and today he celebrated his 90<sup>th</sup> birthday.  Mr. Kalashnikov is best known as the inventor of the Soviet AK-47 assault rifle.    The AK-47 rifle is the world’s most popular assault rifle used in 100 countries (including Afghanistan), glamorized by Hollywood in crime movies and is featured on the national flag of Mozambique.   But today I would witness history in the making.  The Afghan National Army is slowly swapping out their AK-47’s in exchange for NATO rifles, specifically the M-16 rifle manufactured by Colt Firearms Company.  Today’s mission was to escort several flatbed trucks loaded with NATO weapons destined for the ANA.</p>
<div id="attachment_3748" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3748" title="Is that snow" src="http://afghanistanmylasttour.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/is-that-snow.jpg?w=300" alt="Is that snow" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Is the snow?</p></div>
<p>After shaving and returning to my b-hut, I noticed the mountains overshadowing the camp.  It looked like an artist took his paintbrush bristles and created streaks of snow with a stroke of his brush.  It rained last night and I commented “If it gets any colder, we might see snow on the peaks in the morning.”  It wasn’t enough snow to brag about and it would probably disappear by mid-afternoon.</p>
<div id="attachment_3750" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3750" title="Looks like snow to me." src="http://afghanistanmylasttour.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/looks-like-snow-to-me.jpg?w=300" alt="Looks like snow to me." width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Looks like snow to me.</p></div>
<p>The Captain and I drove over to meet our ANA counterparts to ensure their convoy was ready to join with ours.  This is when I got a glimpse of the mountains off in the distance.  They were covered with snow.  Those particular mountains are much higher in elevation too.  For traveling reasons, maybe we were fortunate the run-off election did not occur, because we would have to deal with the snow and freezing temperatures.</p>
<p>We joined forces with the ANA and convoyed to the weapons depot.  It took all day to load the connexes on the back of 40 foot trailer trucks.  The problem we encountered was with the cranes being used to move them.  They were quite old and vintage looking.  I was rather curious why the ANA chose these cranes instead of the more modern ones being used at their camp.  I was informed that the older cranes are owned by some ANA officers and this is just another method they use to earn additional money.  Instead of using the ones provided by the United States, they contract out the cranes.  Even more shocking is that the depot did not have their own crane to move container boxes.  This depot is stocked with hundreds of connexes filled with material.</p>
<div id="attachment_3792" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3792" title="AF Captain enjoying a good book." src="http://afghanistanmylasttour.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/af-captain-enjoying-a-good-book.jpg?w=300" alt="AF Captain enjoying a good book." width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">AF Captain enjoying a good book.</p></div>
<p>Fortunately OSHA was not present to witness the movement of these metal connexes, otherwise they might have cringed.  The cable was twisted and appeared to be splintering at the ends.  But watching people being lifted by the crane to the top of the double-stacked boxes was a bit scary.  One of my teammates chose to read a book while perched on top of the HMMVW.  I guess watching grown men swinging from a cable while being lifted by a crane didn’t catch his interest.</p>
<div id="attachment_3790" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3790" title="Look closely at the center line and where the vehicles are." src="http://afghanistanmylasttour.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/look-closely-at-the-center-line-and-where-the-vehicles-are.jpg?w=300" alt="Look closely at the center line and where the vehicles are." width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Look closely at the center line and where the vehicles are.</p></div>
<p>Our return trip was rather interesting too.  We had 14 vehicles in our convoy including 4 flatbed trailers.  Afternoon rush hour just started and we were going to drive through the heart of the city with our “train” of vehicles.  I was the convoy commander and let the ANA take the lead.  They would block off the traffic while our train rolled through the round-a-bouts and congested highways.  As expected the traffic was gridlocked at times.  Notice in the picture where the center line is and the location of the cars entering the round-a-bout.  These cars blocked on-coming traffic making it much more difficult for the traffic to flow.  We finally made it back to camp and parked the vehicles for the night.</p>

<h1>Gun inventor, &#8216;happy man&#8217; Kalashnikov turns 90</h1>
<p>The Kalashnikov quickly became prized for its sturdy reliability in difficult field conditions.</p>
<p>Wounded during combat in 1941, Kalashnikov started working on his rifle in 1947, driven to design by Soviet defeats in the early years of World War II at the hands of far better armed German soldiers.</p>

<p>MOSCOW (AFP) – Mikhail Kalashnikov, the Russian inventor of the globally popular AK-47 assault rifle, declared himself a happy man with few regrets as he celebrated his 90th birthday on Tuesday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Age is not significant. I have plenty of life left in me. But still, this is a special date and it needs to be celebrated,&#8221; the white-haired inventor said in remarks broadcast on Russian television.</p>
<p>Kalashnikov, whose tie was decorated with a metal pin shaped like an AK-47, smiled and read patriotic poetry to journalists in Izhevsk, his hometown located 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) east of Moscow.</p>
<p>The inventor was expected to visit Moscow later on Tuesday to meet President Dmitry Medvedev.</p>
<p>He is considered a hero in Russia for designing the AK-47. Also called the &#8220;Kalashnikov&#8221;, the rifle and its variants are the weapons of choice for dozens of armies and guerrilla groups around the world.</p>
<p>More than 100 million Kalashnikov rifles have now been sold worldwide, but their inventor, a World War II veteran, has barely profited financially from them and continues to live modestly in Izhevsk.</p>
<p>&#8220;In my 90 years I feel myself to be a happy man,&#8221; he said in an interview in the Russian government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta.</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course, like with any person, there are things to regret&#8230;. But I can say one thing: I would not choose to lead my life any other way if I had the opportunity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Born in a Siberian village on November 10, 1919, Kalashnikov had a tragic childhood during which his father was deported under Stalin in 1930.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p><em>Woe oh woe Kalashnikov! The real world mass killing machine since 1947.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Sou fã de carteirinha dessa cara.</strong></em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1148" title="RussianGirls" src="http://gravidadez.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/russiangirls.jpg" alt="RussianGirls" width="500" height="293" /></p>
<p>Os russos tem tradição bélica de séculos que atravessou a época dos Czares e dos comunistas e se mantem na nova Rússia <s>tomada pela máfia</s> pós URSS.</p>
<p>Mas enquanto no Brasil escolas, mesmo que militares, a atenção é para as aulas de Matemática e Inglês, a milhares de quilômetros de distância nos arredores de Moscou escolas militares ensinam garotinhas de 11 anos a manipular fuzis AK-47, os mesmos que o Taleban usa, além de granadas. Na sua escola Nastya Grechyshnikova tem sua primeira aula do dia, como desmontar um fuzil AK-47. </p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Ele é muito pesado. Preciso deixar os meus braços mais fortes e fortalecer os músculos para usá-lo. Preciso de dois dedos para puxar o gatilho</em>&#8220;</p>
<p>Pelos corredores outras meninas andam balançando suas tranças e lidando com granadas.</p>
<p><em>Eu amo metralhadoras e sonho me unir aos serviços secretos &#8211; diz Olya, 12</em></p>
<p>É a Escola Militar para Cadetes Número Nove (algo como Colégio Milico só para Moças) &#8211; uma das novas academias militares de elite da Mãe Russa. A recente vitória sobre a Geórgia, faz o <s> Manda Chuva Russo</s> Primeiro Ministro Vladimir Putin pensa nas escolas militares para garotas como um lugar para cidadãos modelo para sua nação ressurgente. Escolas de cadetes russos são bem antigas, começando em 1732 nos tempos da Imperatriz Anna, sobrinha de Pedro, o Grande.</p>
<p>Após o <s>queda da URSS</s> período comunista, Putin viu o renascimento do conceito para os meninos e agora as meninas também. </p>
<p>Nastya, 11, é pouco mais alta que seu fuzil Kalashnikov orgulhosa diz: <em>&#8220;Acabei de aprender a desmontar e posicionar a AK-47.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>As meninas &#8211; Escolhida depois de passar por testes de aptidão que visa selecionar os líderes do futuro &#8211; também aprendem primeiros-socorros, defesa pessoal e como lidar com terroristas.</p>
<p>As regras aqui são muito rígidas. Nastya explica: &#8220;<em>Não há saias curtas e palavrões, não fumar e beber, e ficar andando a toa.</em>&#8220;. E completa enquanto mira sua pistola Makarov:<br />
<em>&#8220;Eu quero ser um funcionário da alfândega quando eu crescer&#8221;, diz ela. &#8220;Eu quero capturar criminosos. Mas espero que não vai precisar machucá-los com uma arma. Existem os meninos aqui, muito galantes e bem-comportados. Não puxam as nossas tranças como os meninos em escolas normais. Respeitam as meninas de uniforme.<br />
</em></p>
<p>As meninas já receberam até mesmo a visita de veteranos da Segunda Guerra que falaram sobre os alemães <s>filhos da puta, assassinos do caraio</s> nazistas que combateram e como eles eram impiedosos.</p>
<p>O dia escolar começa às 7h com o exercício físico e termina só a noite. Maquiagem e celulares são proibidos, com excepção de alguns minutos cada dia, quando os alunos da escola estão autorizados a falar com os pais, ou seja&#8230; o rabo delas é do governo russo&#8230;</p>
<p>Olya uma entusiasmada aluna estranha outras meninas &#8220;Em casa, vejo meninas de 11 anos se maquiando. Por que você precisa fazer isso? Por que elas estão tão obcecadas com os meninos, quando há tantas coisas interessantes para aprender?&#8221;</p>
<p>O detalhe é que elas mal encontram esses rapazes no Baile de Inverno&#8230;A cada depoimento a coisa vai ficando impressionante&#8230;</p>
<p>Ucraniana Katya Aristovich, 11, aproveitou o tempo fora de sua aula de granadas de mão ensinada pelo coronel da reserva Mikhail Mikkholaichuk, 50, um veterano <s>inimigo do Rambo</s> da ocupação do Exército Vermelho do Afeganistão.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Eu quero ser uma general,&#8221; ela nos diz. &#8220;Meu assunto preferido é o básico do Serviço Militar. Eu amo marcha e me sinto tão orgulhosa quando estamos todas juntas, ombro a ombro, como um organismo. Estou pronta para morrer pela Rússia</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>Escola Número Nove também promete fazer as meninas &#8220;fiéis, esposas e mães de amor&#8221;. Diretor da Academia Viktoria Silenskaya diz aulas de auto-defesa vai ajudá-la meninas evitar outro escândalo semelhante ao massacre de Beslan em 2004, em que 334 pessoas, a maioria crianças, morreram em um cerco à escola.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Queremos que as nossas meninas sejam capazes de se defender, para evitar pânicos como as <a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crise_de_ref%C3%A9ns_da_escola_de_Beslan">crianças sofreram em Beslan</a>, por exemplo</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p><s>Mas que mulher filha da puta! Os soldados e terroristas atiraram adoidado e a culpa é das sensíveis e despreparadas mamas russas???</s></p>
<p>Alyona Chuchelina, 16, que fala fluentemente cinco idiomas e, recentemente, alcançou a patente de lance-corporal com uma medalha para seu manuseio do AK-47, diz: <em>&#8220;Para grandes eventos como este (o Baile de Inverno) nós estamos autorizadas a usar maquiagem, mas é apenas um par de vezes por ano.&#8221;</em> </p>
<p>E tem mais&#8230;</p>
<p>Anastasia Kutskevich, 17, revela:<em> &#8220;Muitas pessoas pensam que fomos tirados do mundo real.&#8221;Mas eu diria que, em comparação com outras meninas, tenho tantas liberdades mais. Essa escola é sobre a honestidade e honra.&#8221;Eu gosto do meu uniforme e eu amo marchar na parada.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Sasha Zolina, 11, <em>&#8220;O que nós realmente queremos impedir é que a Terceira Guerra Mundial aconteça. Deus nos ajude.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Bom&#8230; Achei meio lavagem cerebral&#8230; parece a versão eslava e feminina do Taliban, mas se visto pela ótica histórica do povo russo, é até normal&#8230;definitivamente o forte não vai ser maquiagem para essas garotas e acho que a tarefa mais escrota do mundo deve ser terminar o namoro com alguma delas, ou pior, ela te pegar pulando a cerca&#8230; </p>
<p>Mas aqui no Brasil temos as nossas alunas aplicadas também&#8230; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFfzSlc8nMQ&#38;">boas de manejo</a> em equipamentos de combate&#8230;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.moscowtopnews.com/?area=postView&#38;id=1715" target="_blank"> <img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.moscowtopnews.com/image/article/2/1/7/2217.jpeg" alt="" width="448" height="283" /></a></p>
<p>Russia&#8217;s <a href="http://www.izhmash.ru/eng/" target="_blank">Izhmash Concern</a>,  the maker of the renowned <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalashnikov" target="_blank">Kalashnikov</a> assault rifle, will unveil a new gun next year. The gun is said to replace the  legendary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47" target="_blank">AK-47</a> system designed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Kalashnikov" target="_blank"> Mikhail Kalashnikov</a> <a href="http://english.pravda.ru/russia/history/02-11-2009/110250-kalashnikov-0" target="_blank"> Pravda.Ru</a> reports.</p>
<p><strong>Vladimir Grodetsky</strong>, the <a href="http://english.pravda.ru/business/finance/109362-0/" target="_blank"> general director</a> of the enterprise, said at the round-table discussion  devoted to the ninetieth anniversary of the legendary engineer that the  specification of the new gun would <a href="http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/88/354/14495_kyoto.html" target="_blank"> make it</a> 40 or 50 percent more efficient than its predecessor.</p>
<p>The AK-47 gun is nearly 60 years old. It is put into service  in over 55 countries of the world. About 75 million units of this gun have been  made in the world today; 40 million of that amount have been made in Russia.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>The Kalashnikov gun has become a legend that generated a  whole class of small arms. There are more than 100 types of Kalashnikov guns: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-74M" target="_blank">AK-74M, AKS-74U</a> (the shorter version), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-101" target="_blank">AK-101</a>, a  number of smaller versions &#8211; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-102" target="_blank">AK-102</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-104" target="_blank">AK-104</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-105" target="_blank">AK-105</a>, as  well as lightweight machine guns Kalashnikov <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_machine_gun" target="_blank">LMG</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKT" target="_blank">PKT</a> tank machine  guns and other kinds of small weapons. All of them are based on the same  automatics principle, which makes it a lot easier to teach soldiers to shoot and  repair the gun.</p>
<p>Each and every Kalashnikov can be equipped with: optical,  night, laser and collimator sights, rifle-attached grenade launchers, various  types of cartridges and grenades. The modern-day AK-47 gun and all of its  modifications is not just an assault rifle, but a whole small-arms system, which  has earned the reputation of the most efficient and reliable weapon in the  world.</p>
<p>However, the legendary AK-47 becomes history. This is a  weapon of the wars of the past, a weapon for large and poorly trained armies.  This is probably the reason why Russia&#8217;s Defense Ministry purchases small arms  from other countries.</p>
<p>Russia has other assault rifles, beside Kalashnikov: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN-94" target="_blank">AN-94</a> Abakan  and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEK-971" target="_blank">AEK-971</a> guns, but they lag far behind the renowned &#8220;Kalash.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vladimir Grodetsky, the director of the Kalashnikov maker,  said that the enterprise was working on a new AK line which would be unveiled  next year.</p>

<p><strong>Hello Kitty Creation</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>The docile little creature with red bow and yellow button nose turns <strong>35</strong> today. And just look at her now! At her inception in the 1970s, few could have known that the cute cartoon would become a global phenom complete with a theme park, TV series and restaurant featuring an image of her sweet whiskered face baked into bread.</p>
<p><strong>Hello Kitty was created in Japan, in 1974, by Shintaro Tsuji as part of his greeting card company Sanrio.</strong> After an in-house design contest, the little Sanrio kitten was born, and Hello Kitty quickly became popular, boosting Sanrio&#8217;s sales in just two years and bringing her cute &#8220;kawaii&#8221; style to coin purses, diaries, stationery and notebooks.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Si vous aimez le sexe et la drogue (ou pas), lisez <em>Maximum City: Bombay lost and found</em> de Suketu Mehta. Il y parle des caïds des gangs de Bombay qui aiment leur poulet bien cuit et offrent des petits nounours à leur pute préférée.</p>
<p>Extraits choisis :</p>
<p><em>In Azamgarh [petit village], says Ishaq [un gangster], the paan-wallahs [vendeur de chique de tabac] do a side trade in guns. </em><em>You can buy an AK-47, smuggled from Nepal, from a paan stand for sixty-five thousand rupees [930€]. ‘Why do people keep AK-47s?’ I ask him.</em></p>
<p><em>‘Just as a hobby,’ he explains.</em></p>
<p>*******<em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Some of the shooters have become ‘psychos’. Satish knows one, who is the only child of a doctor, and was himself a medical student. Whenever he had a problem at home, he would run away, and do something psychotic. He was always high. He had one eccentricity: after he killed someone, he would take out the brain, and with a sword, make mince out of the brain. Satish chops up the air very fine with his hand, demonstrating. </em></p>
<p><em>‘What is he doing now?’ I ask.</em></p>
<p><em>‘He has resumed his medical studies.’</em></p>
<p>*******<em><br />
</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>[Mohsin, un gangster] followed Daruwala [sa cible] as he left the dog and his visitors to take a leak inside a country bar next door. As he was pissing, Mohsin came up behind him in the bathroom and raised his hand with the gun. It would have been an easy shot, but Mohsin was suddenly struck with a scruple: a man, he thought, should not be shot while he was pissing.</em></p>

<p>A fundamental principle of interventionism holds that one government  intervention inevitably leads to more interventions, in order to “fix” the  problems of the previous interventions. At the end of this road lies omnipotent  government and the loss of freedom.</p>
<p>A good example of this phenomenon is being provided by a group called the <strong>Binational Task Force</strong> , whose co-chairman , <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_C._Bonner" target="_blank">Robert  C. Bonner</a>, is former head of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration" target="_blank"> Drug Enforcement Administration</a>. The group, which also includes two former  U.S. ambassadors to Mexico, <a href="http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-world-latinamerica/20091014/LT.Mexico.US.Guns" target="_blank"> wants to reinstate the assault-weapon ban</a> that was enacted during the  Clinton era.</p>
<p>Guess what the group cites as its justification for such gun control: the  drug war. Yes, that war that everyone admits has failed to achieve its  objectives despite 45 years of vicious warfare. The task force is saying that  reenacting the assault-weapons ban will reduce the drug-war violence that now  pervades Mexico.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>If I were a believer in extra-terrestrial life, my question would be: What  planet are these people from? Do they honestly believe that gun-control  intervention is going to alleviate the horrific consequences of their drug-war  intervention? Can anyone really be that stupid?</p>
<p>Not likely. My hunch is that these people are simply looking for new excuses  for gun control and are latching onto the war on drugs to advance that agenda.</p>
<p>Let’s restate some important principles that are involved here.</p>
<p>The drug-war itself is the root cause of the drug-war violence in Mexico, the  United States, and elsewhere. If there were no drug laws — that is, if drugs  were legalized — there would be no drug gangs, drug cartels, and drug-war  murders, assassinations, robberies, bribery, and the like. All the violence  associated with the drug war would disappear for the obvious reason — there no  longer would be a drug war.</p>
<p>The black market inevitably attracts an unsavory producer, one who has no  reservations about employing violence and political corruption to expand his  market share.</p>
<p>Making drugs illegal doesn’t cause consumers to stop desiring drugs. Making  them illegal simply makes it more difficult and more expensive for the consumer  to acquire them. Thus, oftentimes poor drug users resort to robberies, muggings,  and thefts to acquire the money to pay the exorbitant black-market prices for  the drugs they seek.</p>
<p>Rarely does this happen in a free and open market. Competitors compete  against each other on the basis of such things as quality and price. Generally,  prices are within reach of most everyone.</p>
<p>After all, when was the last time you saw <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Capone" target="_blank">Al Capone</a> type of gangs distributing beer? When was the last time you saw a wino mugging  someone to get the money to pay for a bottle of wine?</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition" target="_blank"> Prohibition</a>-related violence disappeared with the repeal of Prohibition.  That’s precisely what would happen if drug prohibition were repealed.</p>
<p>The statist notion — the notion being advanced by the Binational Task Force —  is that by reenacting the assault-weapons ban, drug gangs in Mexico would no  longer be able to acquire the weaponry to initiate drug-war violence.</p>
<p>That’s ludicrous. For one thing, the drug gangs can acquire weaponry from all  over the world. For another, the assault-weapons ban didn’t really ban assault  weapons — it simply required modifications of them, such as shorter clips or no  bayonet. People could still acquire <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR15" target="_blank">AR-15</a>s, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ak-47" target="_blank">AK-47</a>s, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKS" target="_blank">SKS</a>s and other  assault rifles.</p>
<p>What the statists fail to recognize — or perhaps not — is that a fierce war  on guns — that is, one waged like the war on drugs — would do nothing more than  produce the same type of violence, if not more, than that produced by the war on  drugs.</p>
<p>The solution to the failure of interventionism is not more interventionism.  The solution is the repeal of interventionism. Americans would be wise to reject  the statist recommendations of the Binational Task Force. Contrary to what these  people say, it’s not possible to fix their failed war on drugs with a war on  guns or with anything else. The only way to end the drug-war violence is by  ending the drug war.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Même si je déteste le terme &#8220;bling bling&#8221;, apparemment lancé à l&#8217;époque par Lil Wa]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Même si je déteste le terme &#8220;bling bling&#8221;, apparemment lancé à l&#8217;époque par Lil Wayne et depuis utilisé à n&#8217;importe quelle sauce, j&#8217;ai déjà posté plusieurs fois des <a href="http://theyellowkid.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/le-demi-millions-de-dollars-le-plus-mal-depense-au-monde/" target="_blank">chaînes en diamant complètement stupides</a> parce qu&#8217;à vrai dire, la folie des gens riches m&#8217;émerveillera toujours. Alors pas besoin de présentation plus longue, entrons dans le brillant du sujet: voici <strong>5 pendentifs incroyables</strong> (oui, encore). *NSFR*</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4764" title="magno chain mcdonalds" src="http://theyellowkid.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/magno-chain-mcdonalds.jpg" alt="magno chain mcdonalds" width="500" height="625" /></p>
<p>5. Le pendentif<strong> M </strong>de<strong> Magno</strong>. Se faire remarquer lorsqu&#8217;on est un rappeur inconnu, ça peut rapidement devenir un casse-tête alors <strong>Magno </strong>a décidé d&#8217;investir toutes ses économies pour se faire fabriquer un pendentif à son nom reprenant le logo de McDonald&#8217;s. En espérant se prendre un procès dans la gueule de la part de la chaîne de fast food et se faire un mini buzz, ou peut être tout simplement pour gratter des menus Maxi BestOf &#8220;M&#8221; gratuits.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4766" title="lil-boosie-chain-haters" src="http://theyellowkid.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/lil-boosie-chain-haters.jpg" alt="lil-boosie-chain-haters" width="500" height="473" /></p>
<p>4. Les <strong>5kg</strong> de chaines de <strong>Lil Boosie</strong>. Un mélange de couleurs du meilleur goût, un clin d&#8217;oeil à l&#8217;un des meilleurs films comiques américains de ces dernières années, plus de couronnes en or que dans la bouche d&#8217;une grand mère polonaise: <strong>Lil Boosie </strong>est au top de lui même quand il sort avec ses 5kg de diamant autour du cou. Avec une mention spéciale pour l&#8217;AK 47 Haters.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4767" title="croix gammee diamant" src="http://theyellowkid.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/croix-gammee-diamant.jpg" alt="croix gammee diamant" width="470" height="480" /></p>
<p>3. Le pendentif <strong>croix</strong> d&#8217;<strong>Hitler</strong>. Très peu d&#8217;informations sont disponibles sur ce pendentif légendaire, que le Führer aurait porté lors de son suicide en 1945. Il paraît qu&#8217;il le tenait de son guide spirituel, et qu&#8217;il est désormais transmis dans une famille française de père en fille.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4771" title="soulja boy chains diamond" src="http://theyellowkid.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/soulja-boy-chains-diamond1.jpg" alt="soulja boy chains diamond" width="500" height="666" /></p>
<p>2. Les <strong>10kg</strong> de chaines de <strong>SouljaBoy</strong>. Habitué des <a href="http://theyellowkid.wordpress.com/2009/08/10/la-lamborghini-teleguidee-en-diamant-de-soulja-boy/" target="_blank">posts</a> sur les personnes riches qui claquent toute leur thune en bijoux improbables,<strong> SouljaBoy</strong> est désormais reconnu pour son amour du diamant gâché, et repousse toujours plus loin les limites de l&#8217;imagination des joailliers peu scrupuleux qui acceptent de confectionner ces horreurs. D&#8217;ailleurs, je me demande s&#8217;il a déjà changé les piles de sa Lamborghini téléguidée.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4772" title="bling bling pussy" src="http://theyellowkid.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/bling-bling-pussy1.jpg" alt="bling bling pussy" width="430" height="366" /></p>
<p>1. Les chaines<strong> Pussy</strong> de <strong>Rocco</strong>. Et si les gens vous interpellent dans la rue, vous pourrez toujours prétendre que ce sont des pendentifs en forme de champignons. Pas de mauvais jeu de mot svp.</p>
