MILITARY-OWNED FIREARMS BEING 'REGISTERED'?

(I have no way to verify this one.  If you can, please email me with specific details.  Bruce)

Gentlemen,
I am an 11B [Infantryman] currently assigned to Fort Campbell.  I live off post, with my firearms (which I don't bring on post for any reason).  A very frightening thing happened at work yesterday. I was ordered to fill out a list containing my firearm information. This included make, model, caliber, and serial number of all firearms I currently possess.  In addition, I was also required to list registration information, location of all weapons individually, and information regarding any CCW permits I possess.  If you are like me, then the people you work with know you have firearms.  So I had to list at least some.  I tried to talk to my 1sg (who is normally approachable through proper channels) to find out what this is for, and I was basically told, "I don't give a !&@%, just put your info on the form."  I don't know how high this goes, but I am hearing that this is going on in other units at Fort Campbell as well.  It just seems a little coincidental to me that within 90 days: the most anti-firearm president in history is inaugurated, some of the nastiest anti-firearm laws are put on the table in Washington, and then the Army comes around wanting what amounts to a registration on all firearms, even if they are off post, and doesn't provide any reason or purpose as to why.  I fear something really nasty is blowing in the wind here.  I have been in almost 8 years, and never have any of my [previous] units asked for this information.  If any of you out there have any info as to what all this crap is about, please chime in.  Otherwise consider yourself warned.  I have already posted this on every other firearm forum I am a member of to get the word out.

Taliban Nearing Pakistani Nukes
by Hillel Fendel 

Israel and the US should be focusing more on the Taliban’s rise in nuclear Pakistan than on Iran’s nuclear aims, more and more experts are saying.

“Pakistan must move to the top of our strategic agenda,” writes former US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton. Similarly, “Nuclear Taliban/Al Qaida is a far more ominous threat than nuclear Iran could ever be,” writes Byron Ellis, who heads the international Jethro Project consulting company.

Bolton, writing in The Wall Street Journal on Monday, warns that the U.S. must take “hard steps” to prevent Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal from falling into the hands of Taliban. U.S. President Barack Obama’s statement of confidence last week that the nuclear arsenal will not fall to the terrorists is “not reassuring,” Bolton writes, “in light of the Taliban’s military and political gains throughout Pakistan.”

There is a “tangible risk that several weapons could slip out of military control,” Bolton warns. “Such weapons could then find their way to Al Qaeda or other terrorists, with obvious global implications.”

Even graver is the possibility that Pakistan’s government could collapse entirely, enabling “a well-organized, tightly disciplined group to seize control of the entire Pakistani government.”

“To prevent either scenario, Pakistan must move to the top of our strategic agenda, albeit closely related to Afghanistan,” he wrote. “Neither greater economic assistance, nor more civilian advisers upcountry, nor stronger democratic institutions will eliminate the strategic threat nearly soon enough… We must strengthen pro-American elements in Pakistan's military so they can purge dangerous Islamicists from their ranks; roll back Taliban advances; and, together with our increased efforts in Afghanistan, decisively defeat the militants on either side of the border.”

In a similar vein, Ellis writes that “Israel’s focus on Iran’s nuclear pursuit is misplaced; [Israe should be focusing on the rise of the Taliban in nuclear Pakistan. Nuclear Taliban/Al Qaida is a far more ominous threat than nuclear Iran could ever be.”

“History indicates that Iran is… a rational nation,” Ellis argues, while “the Taliban and Al Qaida are brutally irrational and will not hesitate to use weapons of mass destruction against Israel. Thus, the Taliban/Al Qaeda nuclear threat dwarfs any imaginary Iranian threat. The international community, including Iran and Israel, must collaborate to reduce this symbolic and real threat, which could affect any nation. The international community cannot afford to commit another Bushism, expending war resources on the wrong threat. The United States needs a coalition of nations to confront the looming potential of a nuclear Taliban/Al Qaida and cannot afford any more distractions in the Middle East.”

Americans Remain Serene - or in Despair

Still, official American policy remains fairly serene. “I remain comfortable that the nuclear weapons in Pakistan are secure,” said top US military commander Admiral Michael Mullen just two days ago. Speaking at a Pentagon news conference after his recent trip to the Middle East and Asia, Mullen said he does not think the arms could fall into Taliban hands, though he added that this “is a strategic concern that we all share.”

“The immediate danger is heightened exponentially by Pakistan being one of the world’s eight nuclear powers,” columnist Joel Hilliker writes, “possessing between 60 and 100 nukes, scattered throughout the country. Amid escalating chaos, some of those bombs are sure to slip into extremist Muslim hands. Though the United States and others talk about preventing this scenario, they simply aren’t willing to take measures forceful enough. Signs are, in fact, that the Obama administration is beginning to realize this is a losing cause.”

Pakistan's Taliban terrorists have, in fact, advanced beyond their stronghold in the Swat district and along the border with Afghanistan to within 100 kilometers northwest of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. (They're about 60 miles away from the capitol, folks....)

One of my readers sent me a heads-up about Adrian Salbuchi, an Argentinian political analyst speaking on the Global Financial Crisis.  In the first two videos he describes the whole Global Financial System as one vast Ponzi Scheme.

Like a pyramid, it has four sides and is a predictable model. The four sides are:

(1) Artificially control the supply of public State-issued Currency
(2) Artificially impose Banking Money as the primary source of funding in the economy
(3) Promote doing everything by Debt and
(4) Erect complex channels that allow privatizing profits when the Model is in expansion mode and socialize losses when the model goes into contraction mode.

Each video is about 10 minutes long.

Salbuchi goes on to summarize how the Global System REALLY works. "New World Order" as a generic description of periodic global systemic overhauls. Now, the Power Elite want to go for World Government. This is something 99% of you already know, but it's worth passing along to skeptical friends ... and is easy to understand
