Audio - Do not listen to this unless you have an open mind

I have devoted a great deal of time and effort into giving you good solid information and there is not any other personal agenda I have. I have given you a great deal of insight to what is coming and it disturbs me just as it does you but I must face reality, its going to get much worse.

DISCLAIMER: THIS COMMENTARY AS WELL AS ALL MY PREVIOUS COMMENTARIES ARE BASED ON MY OPINIONS AND MY OWN BELIEFS ONLY. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ THEM LEAVE NOW AS NO ONE FORCES YOU TO COME TO MY WORLD. WHEN I QUOTE ANYONE IT IS SOMETHING THEY HAVE WRITTEN IN A PUBLIC CHAT ROOM OR A PUBLIC FORUM OR A PUBLIC DOMAIN. THIS IS WHERE I SPELL IT ALL OUT IN A NO BS ZONE.

All Handguns and Rifles to me are a working tool and I am the first one that really cares about attention to detail but in the real world, it must be reliable. I like nice looking works of art and I like nice checkering and very good stippling on front straps but that is all BS when you are using a street gun for survival. My attention to detail is legendary but my own personal guns are the best they can be for various other reasons that I will describe as I continue. Many people in the gun business have bought their reputation with advertising money but in my case it was not only dedication but blood sweat and tears to get to the very top. Having one article written about your work in a major magazine does not make you a legend.

Lets talk about an AR 15 first as that is my main survival rifle. My CAR is so old that it does not even have a forward assist, do I need one ?? NO. The reason it works so flawlessly is that it has not only a very good trigger pull and it now has ISMI chrome silicon wire springs. I baked about 30 micro scopic coats that were air brushed on the bolt carrier. It has never been fired very much and I paid $450.00 for it brand new in 1980.
I use a Tasco Pro point on it and I always have extra batteries. You could never tell its been worked on and there are no visible scratches. I have never had a jam of any kind with any kind of ammunition. I have no flashlight attached to it.

One excellent flashlight is the new Blackhawk GLADIUS, it cost about $235.00 and it has a superb strobe effect.

I believe that an AK 47 is a very reliable weapon and will serve you well if that is your choice but it is not as accurate as an AR 15. The AK line of rifles are super reliable and I do not work on these guns. I have taken one apart years ago just to understand the design, it is designed for use in many countries that require simplicity and reliability.

My dedication has always been for handguns. As a general rule I do not like or own Single action Cowboy type firearms. These are dedicated to people that want to relive the old west and that is fine, but my mentality is having a working street gun that will allow me to survive under the worst possible conditions so I can live to survive another day. I am quite different than most people as my only intent is to survive one day at a time. I never talk about next year, I am only concerned about today and when tomorrow arrives that will be my priority.

I believe all street guns can be improved. I would NEVER change out the springs in any handgun unless I take the friction out of the action. Most of you look for bargains in a trigger job and when you drop off your survival gun many SMITHS do not know what to do so they just stone some parts and cut your springs and pack the action with a grease or lubricant and when you get it back it feels better. That is until you fire it and you hear a CLICK instead of a BANG. You just got what you paid for, you asked for it. I can not feel sorry for you.

Refining an action is usually beyond the scope of many gunsmiths, but they need the money to survive so they will not turn down the work. Many sub out the work or even have employees that know very little. Some are paid very little and some just work on commision. If I am shocking you that is good because you need to know all this.

Did you ever ask yourself why all the same Smiths have been featured in magazines and its usually the same gun writers that are involved. I will not go into any more detail than this about what goes on and who gets what. Use your own imagination to figure it out.

I do not play that game. I tried to only deal with gun writers I liked. That is all behind me now as I am semi retired due to declining health. I have never liked cosmetics that would cause a legal problem, the only way you could tell if I worked on your gun is either to pull the trigger or see my logo. In many cases I was unable to put a logo on a gun because I used a chemical etch and it must go on steel. If you have a slide that has a painted finish like a Beretta or Para Ordnance etc, there is no way I can put my logo on there. If your frame is aluminum my acid etched logo will not work. If I bake a moly coating on your barrel, my logo can not be applied, it simply will not work. I need raw steel.

For the real serious survival man or woman I strongly suggest that when you find the handgun you like the very best you should have at least two or three of the very same model. In case one breaks you have another that will fit your custom holster. You can always canabalize one for parts to keep the other operational. This is not a game we are talking about, this is your life. You make the final decision and I can only offer my opinion.

You want to carry 50 year old G.I. 45 acp ammunition that is your decision. My 9mm bullet at current technology level will do triple the damage to an attacker if the bullet is placed in a vital area. If you are pleased with a bullet traveling at 750 feet per second that is your call. I am not, I want ultra velocity using advanced powder technology. You want a ported gun because some schmuck in a magazine article wrote that is what you need, thats your decision. I would never own a ported gun...........

Want to know why many 22 rimfire guns jam ?? Very simple as most all the long rifle ammo have wax coated bullets and when the feed ramp and chamber are clean they work fine. As the wax builds up and mixes with burned and unburned powder this condition will not allow a bullet to be chambered, until that chamber and bore are clean. It can happen after as little as 100 rounds. Keep it clean and do not dry fire a rimfire gun of any kind unless you have an empty case in the chamber so you do not risk the problem of your firing pin peaning the edge of the chamber. It takes more spring power to ignite a rimfire case than a center fire bullet.

You can not have enough good quality American Factory Ammunition, How much is enough, no one really knows. You can use it to barter and it will also save your life as you will not be able to depend on anyone.

KEEP YOUR GUNS CLEAN AS YOUR VERY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

PROVERB 3 - VERSE 25

25 Be not afraid of sudden terror, neither of the destruction of the wicked, when it cometh;

כה אַל-תִּירָא, מִפַּחַד פִּתְאֹם; וּמִשֹּׁאַת רְשָׁעִים, כִּי תָבֹא.

Isaiah Chapter 17 - Verse 1

1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

א מַשָּׂא, דַּמָּשֶׂק: הִנֵּה דַמֶּשֶׂק מוּסָר מֵעִיר, וְהָיְתָה מְעִי מַפָּלָה.

In Syria, regime change by other meansBy Ehsan Ahrari

The United States has not abandoned the option of regime change. This time, the objective is to oust the Bashar Assad regime of Syria, but by using "other" means. This use of other means includes a combination of old tactics used to topple Saddam Hussein, and also uses a number of new tactics aimed at ensuring that the European Union - or its major members, the ones that were derided in the past by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld as part of "old Europe" - does not oppose it, and that even the United Nations Security Council goes along with it.

At least in principle, that is a deft approach. Why has Syria become the target of America's fury? There are at least two reasons. First, as an immediate neighbor of Iraq, Syria has been increasingly accused by the US of aiding and abetting the Iraqi insurgents. This is not a new reason. However, as the security situation worsens in Iraq, the Bush administration intensifies its rhetoric of the condemnation of Syria. US ambassador to Iraq Zalmay Khalilzad said in Washington this
week that "patience is running out with Syria" and that "all options are on the table".

The stepped-up warnings came as US-backed Iraqi forces continued efforts to take control of the border town of Tal Afar. US and Iraqi commanders say the town is a staging post for foreign fighters infiltrating from Syria. Speaking in New York, Khalilzad added: "Our patience is running out, the patience of Iraqis is running out. The time for decision ... has arrived for Damascus.

" He said that Syria "should not allow youngsters misguided by al-Qaeda, from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, from North Africa, to fly into Damascus international airport". (The Syrian ambassador to Washington, Imad Mustapha, called Khalilzad's allegations "100% rubbish".) The second reason Syria has become a US target is Syria's role as a former occupying power in Lebanon still remains a source of contention between Washington and Damascus.

Syria was an occupying state of Lebanon when one of its major politicians and a former prime minister, Rafik Hariri, was assassinated. There was a widespread suspicion that Syria was behind it. One story that has been circulating in Lebanon and other Arab states is that Assad himself threatened Hariri with physical harm, if he were to oppose the extension of the term of office of the pro-Syrian president of Lebanon, Emile Lahoud. Not much later after that meeting, Hariri was assassinated.

Assad gave Der Spiegel, a German magazine, an entirely different account of that meeting. He said: "I said to him [Hariri], we want to exert no pressure on you. Go back to Lebanon and inform us then of your decision." Now the UN inquiry of that event has the backing of the US and France, two countries that strongly disagreed over the entire episode of the American invasion of Iraq.

A German prosecutor, Detlev Mehlis, heads that inquiry. Now, the US appears to be following a well-thought-out campaign of ousting Assad. The first phase of that campaign successfully ended when the UN became involved in the inquiry of the assassination of Hariri. The second phase had also been successfully carried out immediately before the beginning of the UN summit in New York this week.

Assad was planning to make his appearance at the summit as a representative of the new generation of Arab leaders who would transform the region as a promising place of stability and economic progress. He was also to make some promises of initiating Syria's march toward democracy during his speech in New York. That visit was also to mark the end of a long period of isolation of his country.

The Bush administration, on the other hand, wanted to do everything to deny Assad any recognition or accolades from the West. Syria was told that Assad would have no chance of meeting President George W Bush. In addition, Washington systematically persuaded the EU heads to shun Assad. The Syrian president got the message and abandoned his plan to attend the summit. The third phase of the US regime-change plan involves putting pressure on Mehlis to be proactive in seeking to "interview" a number of Syrian officials, including Assad.

Naturally, Syria would not agree to have its president interviewed by a UN prosecutor, a process that even Saddam did not encounter when he was in power. From the perspectives of psychological warfare, that is also an adroit move. The purpose is to constantly place Assad on the defensive, forcing him between accepting the humiliating option of being himself interviewed by a UN prosecutor, or providing important enough Syrian officials for Mehlis' interviews so that he would not insist on interviewing him.

If that measure does not satisfy Mehlis, Assad might meet with him, but only if the meeting were to be labeled as a "courtesy call". The fourth phase of the impending regime-change plan is to find an alternative ruler for Syria, an "Ahmad Chalabi version", but with a cleaner reputation than the Iraqi exile courted by the US before the fall of Saddam. On this point, the Bush administration is not having much success.

One option is to meet with the late Hafez Assad's brother, Riffat, who does not reside in Syria, and extract some sort of commitment from him to democratize Syria if, or when, regime change does take place. The general thinking in Washington is that the US will not repeat the mistake of heavily relying on Syrian expatriates, who, like their Iraqi counterparts, may have the number one objective of self-promotion and telling the US government what it wants to hear.

The top US national security officials remember only too well the fairy tales of rose water and sweets that the American troops were to be offered once they walked into Iraq. However, there is no guarantee that a number of fallacious actions immediately prior to and in the immediate aftermath of the US invasion of Iraq will not be repeated.

In this high-stakes politics, Syria is not without options. It has calculated that it will do nothing to make the US occupation of Iraq a smooth operation, and Assad would have to be persuaded to cooperate - and he has things he wants. First and foremost, he wants the US to pressure Israel in negotiating a withdrawal from the Golan Heights. Second, he wants his regime to be removed from the US list of "bad actors", and be rewarded with economic and other assistance.

Syria always feels that the Bush administration has been too harsh toward it and has never manifested a preference for rapprochement. Third, the US toppling of Saddam has created a deep feeling of suspicion in Damascus that its number will be up sooner or later. After unsuccessfully attempting to arrive at a rapprochement with the US, Assad adopted a policy of benign neglect toward the Iraqi insurgents' use of its territory.

He maintained a semblance of being vigilant about their movement, but never really used his well-known brutal power to crush them. As tensions between Syria and the US mounted, those insurgents were envisioned very much like the Hezbollah guerrillas in relation to Israel when Syria was an occupation force of Lebanon. They could be used as a bargaining chip. No one can say that Syria's options are enviable. A weak power compared to the lone superpower is bound to appear desperate in a situation that Syria is currently encountering.

It is good at playing the Machiavellian version of high-stakes politics. But the Bush administration does not want to play. It knows that it is holding a better hand right now. It is building some sort of consensus to tighten the diplomatic screws on Assad, and hoping that it will succeed in persuading the international community for a regime change. The only unknown part of the Bush administration's regime-change plan is whether any use of military force will take place.

If that is the case, another unknown is whether it will seek UN sanctions prior to such an action. Considering that US forces are currently in Iraq, the logistics of conducting a military campaign would be simpler compared to the ones it encountered prior to invading Iraq. Still, there is no certainty that regime change in Syria will take place.

Can Assad still save his regime? The answer is yes, but he has to decide how far he will go in terms of satisfying the Bush administration to save his rule. Democratizing his country would be one precondition. The most immediate measure he must take is to crush the insurgents that are pushing Iraq closer to a miserably failed state. The possibility of Iraq becoming a failed state is as much a grave option for Bush as the loss of power is for Assad.

Thus, to save his regime, he must ensure that the Iraqi insurgents get no respite or help from his side of the border. Ehsan Ahrari is an independent strategic analyst based in Alexandria, VA, US.

Breaking the Treasure Code:

The Hunt for Israel’s Oil
By Jim Spillman

“Moses wandered the Middle East for forty years and settled in the only place with no oil.” This joke, old as the nation of Israel, may have had its last laugh. According to some Bible scholars and several prominent oil experts, Israel is sitting on a mother-lode of petroleum.

Steve Spillman claims that Old Testament Scriptures and Israel's ancient tribal boundaries reveal the location of vast petroleum reserves. “Word clues in Jacob's blessing to his children and the shape of Israel's ancient borders add up to build a convincing case that Israel is sitting on a tremendous oil reserve,” says Spillman.

Scripture references referring to Joseph as a fruitful bough by a well, Asher dipping his foot in oil, and the Jacob's children sucking honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock all allude to the promise of a great oil reserve to be discovered in Israel in the last days.

Resemblance of Israel’s ancient tribal boundaries to the anatomical clues in these scriptures is the key that unlocks the location of Israel’s oil.

Spillman's father, the late James R. Spillman, an evangelical minister and Bible scholar, first developed the "Anatomy Code" theory in the 1970s. After listening to the elder Spillman's message, several evangelical Christian oil men took Spillman at his word and traveled to the Holy Land to search for Israel's oil.

After twenty-five years of exploration Israel's oil may be on the verge of coming to the surface. Two oil companies have found positive evidence of oil reserves in the area specified by Spillman and are currently developing wells for production.

A major oil discovery in Israel will not only have a profound effect on that nation's economy but also a potentially explosive political effect on the surrounding Arab nations. More importantly, says Spillman, the discovery of a huge oil reserve in Israel and its geo-political implications could be a precursor to last days events mentioned in Ezekiel 38, leading to the battle of Armageddon.

In "Breaking the Treasure Code, the Hunt for Israel's Oil," Spillman explains the Anatomy Code theory in detail, and reveals the location of Israel's vast oil reserve. This book also tells the story of Israel's hunt for oil and explores the profound implications of its discovery.
