Rambling
thoughts, rammifications and foul comments, coming from the bottom of my
heart. Last edited January 2nd 2005
Chronlogy is from the top down.
Airline security:
Many, many years ago the New York to Miami flight used to get hijacked
about once a week. A
snubby in 38 Special
was jokingly called "ticket to Cuba"! Big-time remedy! Security checks!
It did work more or less.
The security guidelines
of those days were in effect on 911 and now they have been even improved
upon! At least, that is
what the government
tells us to believe. I am certainly not a true believer, but I can be convinced
by hard evidence. My
recent flight to
the US did prove a few things! The security is as good or as bad as it
was prior to 911! The people at the
gates have no idea
of what can be used as an improvised weapon. Had they ever been in jail,
they would know a lot more
about these things!
On my flight a nice chap sat next to me with his expensive array of CARBON
FIBRE rods. Now that
makes a nice lance!!
After going through the excersices at the gate the passenger is "clean",
and then he enters a "secure
area". Who works
in these areas?? In Germany it is a lot of Arabs! But other people working
in these areas can just as
well furnish a "clean"
passenger with a lot of nasty things! Order a steak at one of the places
in the secure area, you must
eat it with a plastic
knife and a plastic fork. Order the "soup of the day" and you receive a
nice stainless steel SPOON!
Any jailer can tell
you how deadly a spoon is as a weapon! Pinching the spoon and putting a
nice edge on the end ist
simple, and that
thing will stab straight through a protective vest!. A bottle of booze
from the shop, is there booze in it or
some nice explosive
jelly?? Who put it there? Carton of cigarettes.... has an accomplice substituted
the tobacco .....? The
possibilities are
endless.
I usually do not
write about possible loopholes in security, it might give people some ideas.
I had discussed the possibility
of a terrorist crashing
a 747 into a building or a nuclear power plant and loh and behold, it happened.
It can still happen.
Results of Uncle
Sam's war on terrorism. The Afghanis are happily extorting each other again.
Their main export routes
have been improved
and they are exporting more dope than ever befor. Or do you think they
grow poppies because these
guys are fond of
flowers? As Europe and Russia are the main market, Uncle Sam does not seem
to care. Even our own
European politicians
are funding these dope sellers.SOLUTION? Some of us are aware of the fact,
that most of the Talibani simply
boarded a plane
in Pakistan and flew to Mekka, declaring themselves "pilgrims". Now they
are neatly protected in the Holy city. Just one nuke
would have taken
out the lot and that might even get the attention of the Saudi rulers.
Not civilized, but effective.
NEW WAYS OF IMMIGRATION TO AMERICA?
The first Talibani
are in Guantanamo! From there they will probably be imported to the USA
by the Government. Maybe they will
have to stand trial
and some judge will determine, that they are not just no good, but only
suffer from social deficits. (these can be
cured by delivering
one ounce of shot!) When they are released, these b......s will then roam
your streets! It would be a violation of
human rights to
send them back! They should have been left in Afghanistan, cold and hungry,
to be dealt with by their own kind.
Those with money
buy their way out, the poor ones are left to rot. In Afghanistan you can
get first hand experience of the true form of capitalism.
At Last!
America is once
again fighting for peace!
Terrorism?? The
definition seems to be strictly American.
When some dirty
Arab drops a bomb, it is terrorism.
When Uncle Sam does
the very same, it is called collateral damage!
Ground Troops: Lots
of Luck in Afghanistan!
Alexander the Great's
army lost its impetus after passing through.
The islamic conquest
of the East got stopped there. Ali is burried there!
Timur Lenk (Tamar
Lane), who conquered the greatest mass of the earth ever!, disappeared
there with the core
of the Golden Horde.
The British tried
3 times and even managed something of a retreat on the third try.
The Russians fared
slightly better, but they came in second place!
Siemens, a reasonably
well known German company, once had a subsidiary called
NUCHEM! Please pronounce
it aloud! They still maintain, that they never understood the
reaction of english
speaking people.
US Presidential elections
2000
I am deeply dissappointed
by the apparent lack of courage in the US Armed Forces.
Everywhere in the
world, where they can be sure never to encounter armed resistance, the
US Forces are usually
the vanguard of freedom, ensuring the freedom of the people and
their rulers. In
their very own country they fail to heed the call.
Only a "JUNTA" formed
by high ranking US Generals can possibly solve the electoral
mess!
The total apathy
on the part of the American people is surprising.
In civilized countries
any vote not conforming to very strict formal standards is null and
void. Any attempt
to "interpret the intent of the voter" is a blatant form of manipulation.
If people cannot
read their forms, that very fact should disqualify them from voting
alltogether. How
about a basic literacy test for voters in Florida??
Editing on June 6th
2000 I observed:
(D-Day was 56years
ago) Eisenhower the logistic mastermind; Omar Bradley, the Compassionate,
commander of the US forces, not Patton!
Lewinsky: That girl
does not know how lucky she was. She gave a blow job to an Arkansas
HillBilly.
Having done the
same thing to a politician coming out of Boston, she would probably be
very cold by now.
In some talk-show
someone answered: "I am so old, that I can remember the days when the
Kennedys killed
their women one by one".
CLINTON, William
Jefferson: "If a president of the United States ever lied to the American
public, he should resign"
(July 1974.)
For the very stupid:
He stayed on as President of Americanistan
MURPHY: We all know
Muphy's Law: Anything ,that can go wrong, will go wrong. (actually this
dictum is
called Finnegan's
Law!)
This man must have
been an incurable optimist, completely out of touch with reality.
As realists we all
know, that things, that can go wrong, allways go wrong at the most inappropriate
moments, .....so
what!
Yet, as realists,
we engineers have also come to accept, that things that are normally, under
the most severe
conditions of testing,
considered to be absolutely soldier proof, bullet proof, government proof,
idiot proof and on
top of that, environmentally
correct, consumer friendly and consumer proof!! will go wrong for no apparent
reason.
IPSC: The "TOY_BOYS"
are at it again. Many, many years ago the Powerfactor for
"major" calbre was
lowered from 185 to 175.
Not much, but we
should have stood firm, just to keep from breaching the until then virgin
principles of IPSC.
IPSC was never meant to be a "sport" and the 185 figure was a good
one. A GI 45 ACP
Hardball. A socially relevant calibre!
Once the virgin
principles were breached, so what! Along came starwars toys - just
immagine carrying!
a "race gun". The next big leap forward (sounds familiar to you
Chinese?) was to
think about introducing "Practical 22lr". Sorry, I know of only one truely
practical 22lr and
that is a VOERE 180, also called the "All American".
Now, we will see
another quantum leap in the development of pistolcraft, if the
"TOY-BOYS" get their
way:
Dropping the power level for "major" to 160 points.
The reason for this
probably is a nice little greasing job from manufacturers of shoddy
pistols, like Tangfoglio
et alii. Their guns will simply fall apart when fed socially relevant
ammunition.
One of the basic
ideas of the Founding Fathers of the IPSC was to offer a platform for the
improvement of weapons
design. The reasoning being, that a good pistol should be capable
of competing against
designs that were almost a century old.
Modern engineers
have not covered themselves with glory in this respect; all designs or
so-called "improvements"
after 1911 more or less failed in IPSC competition.
Instead of forcing
manufacturers to build something, that works and stays in one piece, we
should now joyfully
lower the power factor, so lousy, shoddy clunkers may have a chance
of competing. It
does not sound good and probably someone is getting a nice payment for
this "solution".
COOPER: I humbly
quote "If you don't want the piece to fire, don't fire it!"
Like all truely
great statements, this one is by far too simple for the stupid masses
Stockbridge, Roger:
Asked why he used 45 SWCs:
" Because they make such bloody big holes!"
This statement was,
is and will allways be true.It is known as "the Stockbridge dictum".
This cartridge is
what Cooper calls a "socially relevant calibre".
Bosnia/Kroatia/Serbia:
There we have a nice mess! For those of you, who are a bit weak
on their history,
let me tell you, that from the early Middle Ages this lot has been
TROUBLE and will
be for a long time to come.
Muslims simply refuse
to live in peace with other religions! The prophet insists, that a good
muslim should convert
anyone he meets. After the Battle on the "Amselfeld" ( yes,
it is
long ago) my ancestors,
together with the others, failed to follow through and left some
survivers, i.e.
they left some unfinished business!
Can anyone give
me a reason, why all do-gooders are supporting the muslim
Albanians? Not even
my dirty mind, functioning on the very peak of its form, can think
of a reason. There
is no oil, it is not the country of Coca Cola, no uranium, no dope, no
hope, so why bother!
Info on the true
motives for any involvment there is very welcome, indeed!
One possible reason
offered: The amount of dudds suggests, that Uncle Sam just got stuck
with a heap of ordnance
the shelflife of wich having expired. It was cheaper to dump them
on the Balcan and
make the Europeans pay for it, than to have them scrapped
environmetally correctly.
BIG BUCKS: The US
Government offers $ 5,000,000 in reward for the apprehension of
war criminals in
the Balkan.
My suggestion: Don't
look too far!
REASON FOR WAR CRIMES
IN THE BALKAN?:
The enormous amount
of duds being found in Kosovo suggests, that a great portion of the ordnance
dropped there had
certainly passed
its "shelf life".
I was cheaper to
dump them, than to scrap them in an environmentally correct manner.
IT HAS HAPPENED!!!
HELL IS FREEZING
OVER!
Civilta Cattolica
(the Jesuits weekly): There is no fire in Hell.
The Pope probably
got scared of getting roasted and ordered his "private army" to have the
fire put out.
People always make
their own hell to live and to die in!
Life is here and
now. When you are exhaling for that final time, it is a bit late
in the day to do something about the life you
lead.
"Therefor, be prepared
to face your Maker" or "memento mori".
ULSTER (some people
call it Northern Ireland)
Her Majesties Government
is begging a bunch of cutthroat, dope peddling bums to hand in their weapons!
I have a suggestion!
Instead of pleading like a beggar, HMS Government could, just for once,
try to enforced the
LAW!
In the (catholic)
Republic of Ireland the law abiding citizen cannot own any firearm. Period.
In Ulster the situation
is absolutely the same.
DON'T BEG! as beggars
are in a weak position. This may be news to politicans, but anyone, who
has not spent his life living fat on
taxpayers money,
can confirm the above statement.
MONEY TALKS AND BULLSHIT
WALKS!
It now appears,
that this statement is especially true in German politics. The christian
democrat government of
Helmut Kohl, the
longest reigning prime minister ever in Germanistan, seems to have been
run on a blatant
form of spending
of illegal funds. The kind of money commonly called bribes.
ELF, a French petroleum
company, spent about $40,000,000 in cash for "consultants fees" to buy
a chain of
gas stations, as
the ridiculously low price proves. Just after the Tsunami-Disaster same
Helmuth Kohl was
flown out of the
area completely unharmed by special helicopter, leaving a great many seriously
wounded!
The current socialist
government cannot really capitalize on this scandal(?), because they are
also caught in a
few little corruption
and tax evasion cases, involving leaking police raids on their partners
in ...
This truely capitalistic
approach may not be fully correct, at least by my standards, but it sure
is a lot better than
going to war.
If you cannot convince
them---BUY THEM!
It still surprises
me, that West Germany had the financial strength to buy a totally
run down country (East
Germany, or the
German Democratic Republic) lock stock and barrel, pay pensions for all
the criminals in the
nomenclatura and
for all the other more or less decent communists and not slide into a total
recession.
The East Germans
still have to learn how to work.
The Germans in the
West may not be totally convinced about the benefits of
the unification,
but they should better realize, that there is no longer a mine
field running through
their country.
Other people should
remember, that anytime Germany was united, they quite
soon started some
nice war or similar barbaric things.
SMITH & WESSON:
This company is
currently owned by a consortium of British investors. It seems these investors
have thrown in
the towel by now.
The British are no longer what they once were. In there own country they
have decided, that
free men shall not
own guns (result: armed crime up by some 80%!), they have abolished The
Lords and now
these neo-colonialists
are going to do just the same in the US.
The Limeys have
struck a special deal with the US Government. Visit their homepage for
the full text!!
It seems a bit of
a sucker deal to me, and it wil certainly not make S&W popular with
the rest of the Gun Trade
or the buyers. I
predict a rise in the prices of second hand "pre deal" S&Ws.
What are these people
scared about? They unloaded hundreds of thousands of guns on the public,
that, by
their own quality
standards, were rejects! That never bothered them.
I don't think General
Motors, Ford or Toyota would ever bow into fitting a car with a "smart
accelerator", or that
they would give
as much as a fart about possible law suits for reason of inapproriate use
of their cars.
Remember, people
do get killed by cars. Usually the blame is put on the stupid driver, but
maybe someday we
will see GM et alii
being sued for the fact that some run-away punk stole a car and killed
someone with this
stolen car.
With a "smart trigger" (oops, I mean accelerator) this cannot happen. Maybe
it has not yet dawned
on the bosses of
industry, but any man made gadget built into a mechanism can be removed
or changed!!
In the future you
wil probably need a special government approved and individually coded
ring
through your nose
to be able to fire a S&W. Where will they lead you with that ring through
your
nose?
The older I get,
the more convinced I become, that the only true form of a free society
is a state of ANARCHY.
Last word from S&W: The deal is off!
THE EURO!!
For those of you
not quite familiar with Europe: Inside the EC each little country has its
own funny currency.
(Luxemburg does
not seem to care about a national currency; they will take anybody's dough.)
As a result, the
so called free trade is a bit complicated. Ordering something in one of
the other countries of the
EC is easy; as long
as you happen to be fluent in the other guys language. Paying is a bloody
pain in the neck!
Getting your money,
and I am talking about sums around $1,000 , to the other guy will cost
ridiculous amounts
of money. First
the bank will charge a funny "Euro charge", then a fat commission and "costs".
The receiving
bank: same procedure.
At the end of the chain you will have paid about $200,- just to get your
money about
300 miles down the
road.
For me it is cheaper
to DRIVE there and pay cash!!!
In 2002 the national
currency will cease to exist and from then on the banks will be charging
even more!!
So much for progress.
Some Europeans have
expressed surprise at the steady decline of the EURO's value against the
US Dollar.
To me it did not
come as a surprise at all. In the months prior to the fix of the rates
of the individual currency to
the EURO a few countries
(Spain, Portugal and France) had been franticly supporting their currency
and just
made it into the
safe Euro haven without declaring national bust. Now the whole of Europe
is sliding down with
them. Great!!
In the first few
weeks of 2002 we will see chaos in Europe. ALL cash money will have to
be handed in and new
coins and bills
wil be in circulation (in 60 days???!!) After this transition all old cash
will have lost its value. To
me it just sounds
like an excercise by the various governments to anihilate a lot of private
piggy banks and
"black" money.
Conservative estimates
say, that about 15% of the German gross national product exists in what
is called "the
shadow economy".
Here a lot of money will get lost, if it is not changed into $$$. Quite
a few people will be
visited by the tax
people as well.
Now, under the glorious
Bush regime, the Americans are expieriencing a nice devaluation of their
currency.
Wars do cost a lot
of money! And this time the Americans are paying their war themselves!
ZERO TOLERANCE
A nice phrase, commonly
used in conjunction with "police brutality". Don't get me wrong:
Police brutality does
exist!
"Zero tolerance"
is practiced zealously in specific neighbourhoods, yet it would not be
tolerated for a day in
others!
I believe in upholding
the law, but it should not be done "selectively". Justitia is a blind goddess.
Violence does not
solve large scale social problems.
Maybe the Japs are
not convinced, as Enola Gay and Bock's Car did solve some of their divine
lust for
domination of the
rest of the world.
However, going nuclear
on some parts of major cities in the US, altough tempting, might raise
a few eyebrows.
