ATTENTION HK P7 AND MAKAROV OWNERS - NEW SPRINGS AVAILABLE NOW AT WWW.ISMI-GUNSPRINGS.COM 800 773 1940


DISCLAIMER: THIS COMMENTARY AS WELL AS ALL MY PREVIOUS COMMENTARIES ARE MY PERSONAL OPINION ONLY AND WHEN I QUOTE SOME ONE IT HAS BEEN COPIED AND PASTED FROM A PUBLIC WEBSITE OR PUBLIC SOURCE.


I am going to get back on track and let you know that there are now new recoil springs that are available for the HK P7 M8 and the MAKAROV semi auto pistols which are made by ISMI GUNSPRINGS www.ismi-gunsprings.com 800 773 1940

These new superior springs are made out of Chrome Silicon wire and after Marc winds these springs they are sent out for heat treating and are stress relieved to give you the finest springs money can buy.

This will certainly be a benifit to the people that want to upgrade two very excellent pistols. THESE SPRINGS ARE IN STOCK AT THIS POINT IN TIME, SO PLEASE POST THIS ON YOUR FAVORITE FORUM. I will not be stocking them in quantity and if you want to buy one please call ISMI direct.

In a very recent conversation with Marc of ISMI , he explained that the P7 recoil spring was approx. 22 lbs and will work very well with your favorite +P or +P+ ammunition. There are more springs in the works for this HK P7 pistol as well as other popular models of handguns using Chrome Silicon alloy wire.

I suggest you call Marc and speak with him direct and he will go into as much detail as you want. Chrome Silicon alloy wire is a very superior product if you are looking to upgrade your P7.

I am looking forward to having these new springs become available for some of my other favorite handguns. As I have told you many times I never rely on one gun. I do not care if its a revolver or a semi auto pistol, I have worked with all of them at one time or another.

PREPARING TO SURVIVE HELL:
I am going to tell you my thoughts on preparing to survive what ever hell is in store for me and my family and my Dawgs and few friends.

1. I never keep guns or ammunition in one specific area. I spread things out so that if there is a break in anywhere on my property I will have access to what ever I need from other strategic areas.

2. I never sit in any location unless there are at least two guns there. Trying to find a weapon in a panic mode would be insane.

3. For reloading a revolver its best to have a number of speed loaders, be sure that your grips of your revolver are relieved so the speed loader will work properly.

4. I keep rechargeable flashlights in every room. I do not want to go crazy looking for a flashlight when seconds count.

5. I am one of the few people that will not mount a flashlight to my handgun. It would only give some one a place to shoot at in my opinion.

6. Blackhawk industries has now come out with a flashlight called the Gladius, if I remember right. This tactical light has a strobe setting that may be very beneficial. I keep surefire lights all over at this time.

7. All my weapons for serious intent are kept on the dry side with Militec metal treatment. On an AR - 15 I have airbrushed about 30 micro scopic coats of moly on the bolt carrier and baked it on.

8. The spring in my CAR-15 is a specially made spring from ISMI which is made by Marc at ISMI GUNSPRINGS. You can ask him where they can be purchased. These new springs are in great demand.

9. I keep fluorescent lanterns in every area in case of a power failure. I am used to being prepared after having gone thru 20 years of hurricanes in south Florida. I went through hell down in Florida.

10. All things electric have been duplicated with mechanical devices, such as a basic can opener. I keep scissors and knives and tape everywhere.

11. You must also have candles and extra butane lighters as in an emergency they are worth there weight in gold.

12. You must have a large selection of batteries as many devices use various sizes. Never leave the batteries in a device for long periods as I have ruined many a radio because good batteries leaked.

13. Have extra radios of all kinds. You may even need a GPS unit. I have a small unit that picks up satellites very quickly and can give me a reading to about within 10 feet of where I am.

14. Segregate your calibers so you know exactly where each caliber is at at your various locations. Of course if you have children safety must come first. Mark all boxes of ammo that have sealed primers with a colored flourescent dot which is available from people like AVERY LABELS, and can be purchased at most all office supply stores, get permanent dots.

15. Many women will not allow their husbands to have a gun. Seems I remember a famous saying that went like this, BALLS, SAID THE QUEEN, IF I HAD TWO I WOULD BE KING. Its your decision whether you want to protect life and property or just simply call the ACLU if there are no POLICE.

15. You must have bottled water. You must have food. My requirements are very simple. I can live on three ENSURE a day. Not many people can.

16. Top priority is having extra food for my Dawgs. You must give priority for your pets. My Dawgs stay with me at any cost, its not negotiable to anyone.

17. Be sure you have Potassium Iodide pills or its equal in a liquid form.

18. Save empty containers for water. You never know when you will need plastic jugs for water, save them now.

19. Buy Duct tape at either Home Depot or Lowes. Buy some rope in case you need to secure something. You just never know. In one hurricane I was in many years ago in Florida I tried to open the front door because my awning partially broke away and was banging the side of the house. I could not get the door open in 100 mph wind, with gusts up to 135 mph, I had to wait for the eye of the storm to pass over so I could get out and I used wire to secure it before the winds picked up from the back side of the storm.

20. You will need wood for various reason. You will need tin foil and caulking compound in case you want to secure the drain from leaking water as in a bath tub.

21. Check into the new PANASONIC OXYRIDE BATTERIES. I have not been able to find them locally anywhere. Go to www.panasonic.com

$USD100/Barrel Oil No Longer Unthinkable in Wake of Katrina

September 4, 2005by Bernice Han, Agence France-PresseForbesSINGAPORE (AFX) -

Oil prices at 100 usd a barrel are no longer an unthinkable prospect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Asian demand is part of the reason, analysts said.Predictions by US investment bank Goldman Sachs in March that oil prices could rise to 105 usd a barrel were widely ridiculed, but the damage unleashed by the US storm has made others now consider it a possibility.

Skeptics say oil prices are becoming a bubble just waiting to burst after striking a record high of 70.85 usd a barrel last week as Katrina hit oil-producing and refining areas in the southern United States, and there appears to be relief in the short term.

World oil prices retreated from 70-usd territory on Friday when the US government led a drive by major industrial powers to release emergency supplies of crude. New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in October, fell 1.90 usd to close at 67.57 usd a barrel.

Asian Development Bank president Haruhiko Kuroda said in Singapore on Friday that 'I don't think 70 usd will be maintained, but how much and when prices start to decline no one knows.''There's a great uncertainty that exists,' he said.

Travel expert John Koldowski, managing director of the Strategic Intelligence Centre at the Pacific Asia Travel Association in Bangkok, said the industry is taking 'a long hard look' at what is going on in the oil sector.Analysts had dismissed speculation of 100-usd oil a few months back but 'we're really now starting to take it seriously,' he said.'It's a whole new ballgame for us.

We're now talking about prolonged levels of relatively high oil prices,' Koldowski said.Some analysts say that with refineries in the US Gulf Coast hammered by Katrina, all that is needed to push prices up to 100 usd is a terrorist attack or labor strike in one of the major oil-producing nations.

'If we have supply disruptions in Saudi Arabia, Iraq or Venezuela or Nigeria, then it could be even worse,' said Tony Nunan, manager for energy risk management with Mitsubishi Corp's international petroleum business in Tokyo.

'We could easily have a bigger problem if this sort of thing (labor strike) or terrorist attack occurs in a major oil producing country now ... prices will shoot up to three-digit figures,' he said.Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest crude producer which holds the largest proven oil reserves of 261.2 bln barrels or more than a quarter of the global total, has been rocked by a spate of bloody attacks attributed to Al-Qaeda militants in the past two years.

Analysts have consistently warned any disruption to Saudi Arabia's production facilities would send shockwaves as it is the only oil-producing country believed to have the spare capacity to raise output.'The geopolitical situation in oil producing countries like Nigeria and Iraq is certainly less stable than we would like,' said Deborah White, a senior energy analyst with Societe Generale in Paris.

'It keeps nervousness and prices high,' she said.Oil prices have risen by more than 50 pct since the end of 2004 when they were trading at around 43 usd a barrel.The sharp spike in oil prices is attributed mainly to growing demand for oil globally, with the Chinese economy and strong US consumer demand singled out as the major demand drivers.

A pressing worry now is how much damage has been inflicted on US refineries in the Gulf of Mexico region, which accounts for a quarter of the country's total oil output.As of yesterday, more than 88 pct of daily Gulf crude production was shut down and nearly 79 pct of natural gas output halted.

That was an improvement on Thursday's 91 pct for crude and 83 pct for gas.The Department of Energy said yesterday that one refinery in Louisiana was restarting but eight others in the area remained shut down as a result of the hurricane.Combined, the nine refineries' production capacity is 1.83 mln barrels of oil a day -- about 10 pct of total US output.

'We have yet to find out how much damage Katrina has caused,' said White from Societe Generale in Paris.'At the moment, we are at the mercy of the weather ... the worst is that the hurricane season is not over,' she said. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June to November and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had warned last month that seven to nine more hurricanes could form this year, mainly threatening Caribbean islands and the US southern coast.

'The season is still another three months ... we still have a long way to go,' said Nunan from Mitsubishi Corp. 'If we have another hurricane in the same area, it will be a total panic for the oil market.'While the prospect of oil prices touching the three-figure zone cannot be ruled out, analysts doubt a price at that level could be sustained as it would deal a psychological blow to consumers everywhere.

A three-digit crude oil price would be 'enough to get everybody, politicians, economists and the average person on the street jumping up and down and cutting back on spending and driving,' said Nunan.

Morticians Prep for 40,000 Bodies

Corpses piled in convention center freezer – 'It's not on, but at least you can shut the door'

September 6, 2005© 2005 WorldNetDaily.comAs the water level in much of New Orleans begins to slowly recede, officials are preparing to deal with thousands of dead bodies – bodies floating in contaminated water, hidden in damaged homes and even piled together in the freezer of the city's convention center.

"DMort is telling us to expect up to 40,000 bodies," Dan Buckner, a funeral home director, said, quoting officials with the Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team, a volunteer arm of the Department of Homeland Security.

According to a report in the Shelbyville Times-Gazette of Tennessee, Buckner, co-owner of Gowen-Smith Chapel, and his partner are on their way to the Gulf Coast to help deal with the mounting number of dead.The 40,000 estimate does "not include the number of disinterred remains that have been displaced from ... mausoleums," Buckner told the paper.

The Dmort teams include morticians, medical examiners, coroners, pathologists, anthropologists, odontologists, dental assistants, photographers, police, DNA, X-ray, evidence, fingerprint, mental health and computer specialists, and others such as heavy-equipment operators."Until they search each and every remaining house and remove all the fallen materials ... they will not know how many people are there," Buckner said.The mortician said he expects temporary morgues to be set up for identification.

"My personal opinion is they will be recovering bodies for 30 ... to 120 days," Buckner told the Times-Gazette. He mentioned bodies will be found "in attics and yards and the water." People "were told to go to their attic. Then the water came up and they had no way to escape. "Firemen chopped holes in roofs and found bodies." Meanwhile, a National Guardsman showed a reporter the many bodies piled up in the New Orleans Convention Center, including in the freezer.

"Don't step in that blood – it's contaminated," Guardsman Mikel Brooks told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "That one with his arm sticking up in the air, he's an old man." Then he shined the light on a smaller human figure under a white sheet next to the elderly man. "That's a kid," he said. "There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut." Continued the solider:

"There's an old woman," pointing to a wheelchair covered by a sheet. "I escorted her in myself. And that old man got bludgeoned to death," he said of the body lying on the floor next to the wheelchair. The Guardsmen stationed at the center say there are between 30 and 40 bodies in the freezer.

"It's not on, but at least you can shut the door," said fellow Guardsman Phillip Thompson. According to the New Orleans paper, in just one subdivision, Sherwood Forest, survivors who showed up to the Convention Center yesterday said police told them roughly 90 people in the neighborhood had died.

In St. Bernard, 22 bodies were found lashed together. Officials surmised the drowning victims had tried to stay together to keep themselves from being washed away in the storm. Part of the challenge for officials will be identifying bodies that have been decomposing for days. "I ain't got the stomach for it, even after what I saw in Iraq," said Brooks, referring to the freezer where bodies sat decomposing.

"In Iraq, it's one-on-one. It's war. It's fair. Here, it's just crazy. It's anarchy. When you get down to killing and raping people in the streets for food and water Ö and this is America. This is just 300 miles south of where I live."

U.S. cuts Navy, Air Force
China continues to build military machine

Top level = G2 Headlines

The war on terrorism is taking its toll on the U.S. military's ability to compete in conventional warfare with conventional adversaries – especially China, say high-placed G2B Pentagon war planners. As an example, they point to decisions to dramatically reduce the size of the U.S. Navy – a mainstay in ever war-planning scenario with Beijing. "The Navy is heading toward a dramatically smaller submarine fleet that will bottom out at 40 attack submarines in 2028 – or about three-quarters the size of today’s fleet," said Rear Adm. Joseph Walsh, director of submarine warfare. "Despite the growing importance of intelligence missions since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Navy is now unable to sustain today’s fleet of 54 attack submarines."

Duncan Hunter The only exception, he said, would be if the Navy begins buying three submarines a year – and that is not in current plans. The Navy is scheduled to buy only one submarine a year and has been struggling to double that rate to sustain the fleet. Just a year ago, the Navy envisioned buying two submarines a year beginning in 2009. Now, that plan has been shelved until at least 2012. Even if the Navy can afford to buy two submarines a year by then, Walsh said, the fleet will shrink gradually to 40 submarines because of simple math.

The older, Los Angeles-class of submarines will begin to retire at the rate of two per year, while it takes about six years to build a nuclear submarine. With costs rising and the fleet dwindling, senior Navy officials have been either unable or unwilling to say precisely how many submarines – and ships generally – they need to fulfill military requirements around the globe. Such uncertainty frustrates the shipbuilding industry, which complains that ever-shifting Navy forecasts make it difficult to stabilize production and lower costs. "Right now, the shipbuilding plans seem unrealistic and unaffordable, and always changing," said John Welch, a retired General Dynamics Corp. executive who now serves as an independent consultant.

"I’m worried the industry and the Navy are not working together to address many of these industrial base issues." The presidents of Northrop Grumman Newport News and General Dynamics Electric Boat – the nation’s only two submarine builders – have said they are succeeding at lowering construction costs and meeting delivery schedules for the first batch of Virginia-class submarines. Those submarines cost about a $2.4 billion a copy – a price tag that strains Navy construction budgets. But ultimately, they said, costs cannot come down significantly unless the Navy commits to an increased purchase of submarines to ensure stable production lines and allow the yards to buy materials in bulk.

"The way we drive the cost out of these ships is to build more of them," said John Casey, president of General Dynamic Electric Boat. The Navy once envisioned buying 30 Seawolf-class submarines, the predecessor to the Virginia class, "and we ended up with three," Casey said. Meanwhile, experts are warning that China is outpacing the United States in the development of attack submarines and could have as much as a three-to-one advantage over the United States by 2025. John Tkacik of the Heritage Foundation told a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee that China could gain 35 submarines over the next 15 years, "with no production slowdown in sight." These new capabilities, according to Tkacik, would give China "home-field advantage" in an East Asian conflict against the U.S. Navy. U.S. capabilities, meanwhile, are steadily declining.

"The Chinese are investing heavily in a world-class undersea force, while our force structure plan goes in the opposite direction," said Rep. Rob Simmons of Connecticut. The downsizing continues in the Air Force as well. The number of fighter aircraft Pentagon officials plan to employ in the future is "troubling," said the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, adding the Air Force should consider extending production of soon-to-be legacy warplanes such as the F-15E Strike Eagle and the F-16. "Procurement numbers provided to the panel by Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. John Jumper detail a service plan for its future fighter force that includes "well below 2,000" aircraft, said Rep. Duncan Hunter of Calif. Citing those figures, which include the F/A-22 Raptor and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Hunter said it is unclear if the service will field an adequate number of fighters in coming years to carry out homeland defense missions while also maintaining the necessary force structure to fill out the service’s 10 air expeditionary forces.

Since the end of World War II the number of fighter aircraft has fallen from about 63,000 to about 3,400 in the post-Cold War period. "This is analogous to the cavalry days," Hunter said. "We’re going to have lots of cavalry personnel with no horses." The lone solution, according to Hunter, is to bridge the gap between the smaller future fighter inventory and defense needs by continuing production of either the F-15E Strike Eagle or the F-16 fighter. The chairman said he was not hinting that lawmakers or the Air Force should cut either of the future high-profile fighter programs, adding both will cost more and arrive later than originally conceived.
