Posted By: Striderus <Send E-Mail>
Date: Tuesday, 29 April 2008, 12:55 a.m.

Is that the auto industry is conspiring behind their backs...these layoffs are PERMANENT !

This is called union busting and even the union bosses don't know the full story of the auto industry intent ! They are being deceived by the auto executives.

I have been told by a source high up that the GM plant in Janesville's second shift will be the first of the complete and PERMANENT layoffs. There will be a total shift of the manufacturing of vehicles to foreign countries...guess who ?!

This union busting was put in the fast track by bush 43 and Traitors. Be forwarned, prepare yourselves and families for survival ...all related business that are tied to the auto industry are going to be flushed down the toilet so that their stockholders keep making their profits at your expense.

Now America, WTF are 'we' the people going to do for jobs to pay for the outrageous food, gas, housing prices that these white collared A-holes are shoving down our throats. Where are these high paying jobs that these A-holes lied about years ago...where are they ? They never intended that there ever would be any...it was a scam from the start. they just told you that to give them time to make the move before they pulled the rug out from under your feet ! Now how about all the loans and credit that they conned you into...how are you going to pay for that ? hmmmm????
I have a very crass way of saying what they did but, I will spare you this time with my mouth/finger(s) ... (pun intended)

Sorry but, I have to asked...

And who are you people still going to vote for ??? klintoon ? obama ? cain ? what are you all sick in the heads...the same A-holes that got us in to this in the first place !?

If what I heard is true .... there will NOT be a car or truck built in America sooner than you think..that means say BYE BYE to ALL supporting businesses of the auto industry and ALL or nearly all the businesses that support the employees and their families....food, clothing, housing, gas, etc.

Come on don't lose it now stay with us and FIGHT BACK !

Just like when the school SCUMBAGS tell you that your child is too smart and they need to dope him/her down you need to STAND UP and learn to say NO ! NO ! NO ! ABSOLUTELY NO !

QUIT BEING ASS KISSERS ! Or else you'll be kissing your's good nite and good bye before too long !

I knew about this days ago....and MSM ain't telling the whole TRUTH either ! This is ONE more F*CK you to the US labor force !

ummm ... that means you won't be finding any jobs at MiCkeyDicks either....

Letter Re: Spare Parts Now Available for XD-45 Pistols

Jim:

You mentioned that spare parts for Springfield Armory XD pistols have been hard to find. That was the case, up until recently. But now spare XD parts are starting to show up at PistolGear.com. Hover you cursor arrow over "Springfield XD" at the bottom of the window that pops up . There should be a line that reads "XD Factory Parts". I just got a whole stack of [factory spare XD parts] in the mail last week. There are still some critical parts that are missing, such as the extractor. I have done a lot of business with them and talked to the owner Tom a good deal, good fast service and sounds like a pretty good guy.

My first XD has over 40,000 rounds through it without cleaning and it functions perfectly
. They are just as tough as a Glock, just as easy to field strip, but a bit more difficult to detail strip. Overall, it is a great pistol. - Regards, - Bert M.

JWR Replies: That is great news! Consider the proviso that I mentioned yesterday, withdrawn. I can now without reservation endorse the XD pistol as a primary pistol for the long term survival firearms batteries of SurvivalBlog readers.

At this point, I am sorely tempted to sell off my stainless steel Colt M1911s and replace them all with XD-45 pistols. I now recognize that I could get better reliability and nearly twice as many guns for the money that I'd net from selling my used Colts! (A stainless steel Colt Gold Cup .45 now sells for around $1,200. Yikes!) The only remaining issue is that I have 35 years of training invested in the M1911 platform. I will do some extensive testing of an XD-45 and let you know what I decide. Oh boy, am I tempted!

I must reiterate that Front Sight's "Get a Gun" training and gear package offer is available only for a limited time. I most strongly recommend that SurvivalBlog readers take Naish Piazza up on his offer before he cuts off further enrollments. (They only have a limited quantity of guns and gear available for this "package" deal. This is a tremendously generous offer. As near as I can figure, Naish is offering the package at near his cost, as an inducement to get shooters to come and take their first course at Front Sight. Once someone takes a course there, they are "hooked" and keep coming back for more--the the training there is that good. The Memsahib and I can vouch for that personally. We were astounded at the quality of the training. I learned more in four days at Front Sight than I had in the 35 years of my previous pistol shooting experience. I'm not kidding.

OBTW, I note that in addition to Springfield Armory factory spare parts, PistolGear.com also sells a wide range of aftermarket parts and accessories for XDs. And anyone that needs more details on XD pistol should check out the XD Talk Forums.

An Ally Slips Away - "PAKISTAN"


By Joel Hilliker

Pervez Musharraf hasn’t exactly been America’s most dependable ally. But in a region seething with anti-Americanism and hostility against the “war on terror,” the Pakistani president’s open support for Washington has been pretty remarkable. Facing intense public disapproval in the world’s second-most-populous Muslim country, he has allowed the United States to conduct military operations and air strikes against terrorist targets in Pakistan and provided intelligence and operational assistance. For his efforts, the U.S. looked past his warts—and awarded his country with billions of dollars.

But as of right about now, this alliance is in serious jeopardy.

For the U.S.—and all those not interested in the Taliban taking back control of Afghanistan—this is bad, bad news. For anyone not excited to see nuclear weapons in the hands of Muslim extremists, it rings a warning alarm.

Pakistanis, on the other hand, are ecstatic. In elections on February 18, they dealt a deadly blow to Musharraf by empowering a collection of opposition parties—parties that have since formed a coalition government which promises to restore Pakistan to being a parliamentary democracy. Musharraf’s political opponents are in charge now.

Musharraf himself is calling this the start of a “real democratic era” in his country. Being as how the alliance with Washington only existed because of an autocratic military leader’s willingness to defy the public, this means one thing: America’s need for an ally in Pakistan has smacked headlong into a brick wall of hostile Pakistanis.

Officials are vocally expressing their right to make judgments independent of Washington. In April, Pakistan’s foreign minister made clear that no foreign forces will be permitted to operate on Pakistani soil. U.S. officials, fully aware of the dangers fomenting within Pakistan’s borders, are on the knife’s edge, watching for how Islamabad will confront these dangers. They have good cause to be nervous.

Many observers are noting the far greater complexity that will accompany this “real democratic era.” Musharraf alone ruled everything. By contrast, the new prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, will have to balance competing elements within his coalition against Musharraf (who will remain president) and the Pakistani Army—all while paying heed to the wishes of his people and, to whatever degree he chooses, to those of the U.S. That is quite the tangled political snarl. The White House used to be able to make its requests known with a single phone call to a sympathetic and powerful ear. No longer.

This loss of U.S. influence in volatile Pakistan makes the new prime minister’s strategies for securing his nation incredibly important. Early indications are, those strategies give further cause for concern.

Gilani, while acknowledging the seriousness of the threat of Islamist extremism in his country, advocates addressing it through non-violent means. He proposes to combat radicals primarily through political and economic changes in tribal areas, including better education and more financial aid. He seeks peace with the Taliban. “We are ready to talk to all those people who give up arms and are ready to embrace peace,” he has said. He shouldn’t hold his breath.

The Pakistani Taliban praised Gilani’s gesture, but then laid out its own condition for a dialogue: that the prime minister sever ties with Washington. Our jihad is with America, the Taliban commander, Maulvi Faqir, said, but we’ll fight this government too as long as it remains an ally of the U.S. Chances are, this ultimatum won’t dissuade Gilani from trying to sweet-talk the Taliban into giving up its weapons.

One coalition leader announced that the government will pull out of a district in Pakistan’s North-West Frontier Province where the military has been battling Islamic warriors since November. The New York Times reported that it wants “sustained dialogue that, it hopes, will answer many grievances with the government that have pushed ethnic groups toward the militants” (March 26). What pushes people toward the militants? Grievances with the government? In truth, what pushes people toward the militants is the militants—who aggressively promote their violent anti-Western ideals through every possible means.

Pakistan is a world-renowned incubator of Islamism. Huge swaths of the country are ruled independently by Islamists. The more fragmented, disunited and gridlocked the government becomes, the stronger the Islamists grow.

This change in government could seriously cripple efforts in the “war on terror.” First, there is the prospect of Pakistan’s status as a haven for terrorism to grow. Also, the success of allied efforts in Afghanistan depends in large measure on the ability to seal that nation’s border with Pakistan; that will be far more difficult now.

But beyond these implications is the most dangerous trump card of all. As editor in chief Gerald Flurry wrote in our January issue, “Pakistan also has the nuclear bomb and could be taken over by radical Islam, with plenty of help from Iran. That means it could become a proxy of the Iranian mullahs. This would be the worst possible disaster!”

I DO NOT PERSONALLY LIKE THIS HK P30 BECAUSE ITS VERY
DIFFICULT FOR A LEFTY LIKE ME TO DECOCK IT. YOU CAN BUY
TWO GLOCK PISTOLS FOR THE PRICE OF MOST HK AND SIG
SAUER PISTOLS. IT IS MY PERSONAL OPINION THAT NOT MUCH
CAN BEAT THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF A GLOCK 26, 19, 17,
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES ARE WIDELY AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.
THIS IS NOT TRUE OF HK AND SIG PARTS. A NEW HK MAGAZINE WOULD
COST YOU APPROX. $50.00 (if you can even find one) AND A NEW
GLOCK MAGAZINE WOULD BE $16.00
